Who would have thought, the man who had always given a cold shoulder treatment to his friend, would get so scared and concerned for him someday? Maybe none have thought, but Li Xue has long known this side of Feng Shufen. Though the man has always shown his strong, powerful side to the world, he has shown his true self only to her.
Li Xue smiled slightly as her eyes went to trail to look at Feng Shufen, who was standing at the corner and discussing things with Gao Fan. His demeanor was totally changed, nothing like what he had moments before in the parking lot. Though he looked a little tired with messed hair, his domineering aura was still around.
The whole VIP floor of the hospital was booked yet it didn't feel empty, given the several men standing in the line to report the things to the man.
"President Feng, we have investigated. The accident of Director Qi Shuai was pre-planned and was executed by the same troop of people who were following him for a few days now. This was not their first attempt against them. In the last two weeks, several attempts were made but Director Qi has been successful in avoiding all of them. But this last attempt became a jackpot hit for our enemy."
Gao Fan informed. His expression was all stiff and stony, marking the roughness he was carrying in his attitude at the moment. The investigation was not tough for him but the confusion behind the happenings was pushing his brain cells to the edge of death.
Feng Shufen's expression was poker cold, not giving away any of the thoughts running in his brain. "Instead of going for the reason, search for the root source of those men." He suddenly ordered, pausing in his words as if dipping into some thought. "The traces must have already been wiped away. But you know how to do the job."
Gao Fan nodded, understanding the hidden warning behind those words. "We will not bring any disappointment this time." He assured before bowing slightly to take the leave at once.
"Is my brother really that enticing to your eyes. For a good moment of time you have not looked anywhere but him". Suddenly Feng Yi Lan said, snapping her friend, Li Xue out of her thoughts.
Li Xue at once turned to look at her weak smile. "Seeing your eyes so concentrated on Director Qi, I thought my attention would make him upset. So, I only had your brother to look at. Will he not be enticing if he is alone in my world for me to stare at?" She said and to her words, Feng Yi Lan could not help but chuckle.
"I see, you have these kinds of words in your dictionary book as well. Li Xue, I never thought you would get this typical for my brother" Feng Yi Lan commented, still smiling at the piece of joke her friend has cracked.
Li Xue's lips also pulled in satisfaction when saw the long-lost smile appearing again on the expressions of her friend. "Of course! At least I have just got some words in the dictionary book, unlike someone who has got her name registered as the sole guardian of someone, yet prefers to deny the close relationship they share".
Feng Yi Lan's cheeks were at once flushed in embarrassment. But this time, she preferred not to deny it like before. Instead, her eyes became small, while her lips maintained the shape of a smile like she was reminiscing some story from before. A story that was a memory in the deepest corner of her heart.
Looking at her so lost, Li Xue understood as well. Moving her hands to hold onto Feng Yi Lan's, she asked, "Want to share with me? I would love to hear the snippets of your love story".
Feng Yi Lan smiled in response. "There has never been a love story between us, Li Xue. What we had in the past was just some sweet, childish, laughable tales".
"Yi Lan, you two love each other then, how come there is no love story in between?"
"One-sided affection is never called love. They are just some wishful thinking that people often get confused about, sweetheart. Same like I was in the past". Feng Yi Lan revoked the words of Li Xue in a manner where Li Xue was almost rendered wordless.
"Umm … I see then how will you come to justify your sole guardianship over him? It's not something people just give away like that, Yi Lan. At this moment, I only feel like you are just running away from him, fearing that things from the past might repeat themselves. But you know, the past never has any great relevance in the present until and unless we give it". Li Xue countered, feeling sad seeing her friend broken like this. Just seeing her state earlier at home, she knew what importance Qi Shuai held in her life.
"Li Xue, I …"
"Yi Lan, don't do this with yourself. It will bring nothing but only pain to you and seeing the situation today, don't you feel the time in life is too limited to waste in denial. Give the chance instead, maybe things will turn out better and different with just one simple try".
Li Xue interjected without giving any opportunity to Feng Yi Lan to retort back.
"By the way, what's the story of this guardianship? Anything fun to listen to?" Li Xue asked, deviating the original topic into something else, knowing well that her words hit the spot that she had intended to.

On the other side, at Pan Hong's local underground base,
"Boss, we were successful. After such a major accident, it will be hard for the man to survive." A man came to inform smugly but his smugness was short-lived as the next moment he was shot down on his knees making him wince in pain.
Bang!
"Ahh, Boss! Did we do something wrong?" The man asked, wincing in agony.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
