On the other hand, when Feng Yuzheng estimated that the medicine should have taken effect and arrived at the door of the private room, he heard waves of moans coming from inside.

Feng Yuzheng was shocked. He had only made plans for Feng Ruiran. When Ruiran was unconscious, he would completely possess him, take some photos, and spread rumors.

He had already told these people not to touch Feng Ruiran; they only needed to leave him alone in the room. How could there be such sounds inside?

Feng Yuzheng kicked the door open in shock and anger, and saw a large group of white figures entangled together. Feng Yuzheng’s heart jumped, and he shouted loudly.

“Ruiran, where are you?”

It wasn’t until he checked all the people and confirmed that Feng Ruiran wasn’t among them that Feng Yuzheng breathed a sigh of relief. But who on earth took his brother away? Why did something that was clearly planned turn out like this! Feng Yuzheng lowered his head, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

Waking up again, Bai Rui found himself lying in a strange room. The familiar scent and the equally cold style of decoration made it known to Bai Rui that this was Xiao Zhan’s room.

Xiao Zhan came in with a bowl of Congee. Seeing Bai Rui wake up, he hurried in and said with concern.

“Xiaoran, you’re awake! The cruise ship called me and said they didn’t know why you fainted, so I brought you to my house.”

Bai Rui listened to Xiao Zhan’s explanation, squinted his eyes, and teasingly smiled.

“Oh? How did your phone number get to the cruise ship’s management?”

Xiao Zhan’s eyes flashed with a trace of guilt; he took the porridge bowl and placed it in Bai Rui’s hand.

“I’m not sure; maybe they found my name in your phone’s contact list.”

“Oh~”

Bai Rui looked at Xiao Zhan with a smile, making Xiao Zhan subconsciously feel like he was in danger.

Putting the porridge bowl on the bedside table beside him, Bai Rui suddenly approached Xiao Zhan, and his lips almost touched Xiao Zhan’s ear as he whispered softly.

“Thank you so much! After all, Uncle Xiao Zhan, you are the closest person to me. In order to ensure that the person who finds me in the next accident will accurately find your number, why don’t I change your saved name to ‘dear’? What do you think?”

When the young man spoke, the air he exhaled sprayed onto his ear, and the ambiguous words made Xiao Zhan feel his heart beating like a drum. In an instant, Xiao Zhan felt exposed.

But if Xiao Ran knew that he was the one who offended him, shouldn’t he have been furious? How could he still talk to him with such a good temper? Or perhaps Xiao Ran also had some feelings for him.

The thought at this moment made Xiao Zhan feel delighted, but the more he cared, the less he dared to find the truth. Xiao Zhan stood up straight, afraid to look at the young man, and said stiffly.

“Xiao Ran, you’d better have some congee and have a good rest. I called the Feng family, so don’t worry about that.”

After speaking, Xiao Zhan quickly left the room. Although he didn’t want to admit it, he felt a bit timid when facing the young man.

He always wondered: what if Xiao Ran cared about his age, what if Xiao Ran liked a girl? In terms of relationships, he was even more worried about gains and losses.

He had already planned to make the other person accept him even if it was forced, but he couldn’t do it. Xiao Zhan clenched his fists and cheered himself on.

Although he could be considered Xiao Ran’s half elder from the Xiao family, they weren’t related by blood, so as long as he worked hard, Xiao Ran would definitely accept him… Maybe…

Bai Rui took a mouthful of porridge in a depressed mood. The soft texture was his favorite congee with mushroom and chicken mash. The congee was stewed for a long time, and a soft egg was added to it. The beautiful taste made Bai Rui’s frown slightly relax.

He hadn’t eaten for a day, and this bowl of congee was just in time. After drinking congee, Bai Rui relaxed, stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, and moved to take a hot bath.

Unfastening his shirt, the dense purple-red marks on his neck caught his eye, making him wonder how much effort the other party had put in.

The pain in the back of his neck could still be felt, making Bai Rui hit the wash basin in annoyance. He took a deep breath and angrily muttered.

“Xiao Zhan, you dare to eat but not take responsibility, right? You even have the guts to knock me out!”

Bai Rui rubbed his neck as he pondered; he didn’t expect Xiao Zhan to be the owner of the cruise ship; he was the mysterious person that both civilians and underground people dared not provoke in legend.

“There are so many secrets hidden from me, Xiao Zhan. You’re doing very well!”

In his sea of knowledge, Lao Hei trembled for a moment. It had been a long time since he had seen Bai Rui’s angry expression. He silently lit a candle for Xiao Zhan in his heart.

In the days that followed, Bai Rui continued to work with Xiao Zhan as usual, but there was no more ambiguous teasing.

When Feng Yuzheng returned home, he heard that Xiao Zhan had already called and said that Bai Rui was with him, so he had a rough idea of who interfered with his plan.

Afterwards, he also explained to Bai Rui that he left the cruise ship early because he received a sudden call from the company, and he didn’t know what happened afterwards.

Feng Yuzheng pretended not to know, and Bai Rui was also happy to play dumb. The two of them tacitly understood, but Feng Yuzheng didn’t take any further action, as if waiting for the right moment.

Bai Rui, as usual, wore a unique sunny smile every day and got along well with Xiao Zhan. It was just that this pleasant interaction lacked something special, which made Xiao Zhan restless.

Until one day, a large bouquet of delicate and juicy roses was placed on Bai Rui’s desk, and Bai Rui held the roses with a sweet expression, completely hurting Xiao Zhan’s eyes.

“Xiao Ran, who sent this?”

Xiao Zhan took a deep breath and tried to calm the anger in his chest.

“Just a friend.”

Bai Rui played with the rose in his hand and carefully inserted it into a bottle. There was still a beautiful blush on his cheeks, as if he was shy. This appearance made Xiao Zhan feel even more suffocated, but he realized that he had no way to vent his frustration because he had no position to stop Bai Rui from dating others.

Xiao Zhan closed his eyes and tried to ease his tone, expressing concern in the tone of an elder.

“Xiao Ran, won’t you tell me the family she’s from? So I can help you keep an eye on her.”

“They’re not a girl.”

Bai Rui shook his head and looked at Xiao Zhan with a somewhat uneasy expression.

“Xiao Zhan, I don’t like girls; I like men.”

Bai Rui turned his head and deliberately avoided looking at Xiao Zhan’s face, like a child who had done something wrong.

“In fact, if you really like someone, what does it matter if they are men or women? Xiaoran, you don’t have to care.”

Hearing Bai Rui say that he liked men made Xiao Zhan happy. Did that mean his chances had increased?

“Mmm.”

The young man nodded excitedly.

“Thank you, Xiao Zhan. He is very kind to me, and we get along very well.”

“He?”

Xiao Zhan clenched his fists. Could it be that Xiao Ran had already been involved with some unknown jerk long before? Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan had an impulse to destroy the other party.

But Bai Rui ignored Xiao Zhan, whose expression had already completely turned dark. He excitedly sorted out the documents in hand and then happily told Xiao Zhan that he had a date in a while. Without waiting for him to respond, he left early.

He watched the usually well-behaved young man leave hastily with an expectant expression. Xiao Zhan felt his lungs hurting from his anger; even though he knew it was wrong, he quietly followed the young man.

Watching Bai Rui get into a car, Xiao Zhan also drove slowly and steadily. After following for a while, he saw the young man and a man get off the car and enter a restaurant together. And this man, whom he also recognized, was Liu Ci from the casino that day.

Xiao Zhan hadn’t forgotten how Liu Ci explicitly looked at Xiao Ran that day. How did this man deceive his baby?

Xiao Zhan frowned and sat in the car, staring fiercely at the two people who were chatting happily by the window. If the gaze could kill, Liu Ci would have died countless times.

At this moment, Liu Ci, whom Xiao Zhan thought was having a great conversation with the young man, was wiping away his cold sweat uncontrollably.

“Young Master Feng, please stop playing; I really know I was wrong.”

Liu Ci almost wanted to cry, but he still had to keep a smile on his face. Only God knew how the little lamb he met was actually a demon.

Due to his unique intuition at the casino, Liu Ci didn’t follow those few people to the so-called inner court that day. He was only told that Feng Ruiran was going to lose the contract at the gambling table. So after leaving, Liu Ci didn’t know what happened next.

A few days ago, Liu Ci met the young man again. He originally wanted to flirt and take advantage, but he ended up having two fingers cut off.

He didn’t know how the young man opposite him managed to record him cheating, and this was done at different times and in different casinos.

It was one thing for others to know in their hearts that you were cheating, but it was another thing to be caught openly. If all these videos were sent to the bosses of those casinos, breaking his hands and feet was secondary; even his life may not be saved.

“Aren’t you the best at cheating? Play your role well.”

Bai Rui smiled like a spring breeze.

“Besides, you’re most fond of young people like me. Aren’t you happy to date me?”

“Happy, I—I’m happy!”

Liu Ci looked at Bai Rui’s warm smile but felt a chill all over his body. He tried hard to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying, feeling a faint pain in the section of his severed fingers.

Although he liked sunny and handsome boys, he basically spent money to have fun, which made it consensual. Where had he seen a man like Bai Rui who was so good at being evil? Liu Ci secretly watched Xiao Zhan’s increasingly terrifying expression outside, and his smile almost couldn’t be kept.

However, if the casino plan was successfully pulled off by Liu Ci that day, what awaited Bai Rui wouldn’t be so simple. Moreover, with Lao Hei around, Bai Rui naturally knew what disgusting things Zhao Ran had promised Liu Ci concerning him.

It was just two fingers. Seeing that this con man was still useful, Bai Rui didn’t mind being a little generous occasionally.
