CH 17

In retrospect, the violent day came abruptly, houses were collapsing all over the world, the damages were minor in some regions, while others had serious injuries and even human fatalities.

Among them, there was no lack of missing persons like Kang Xing Luo.

Disappearing on the birth of the violent day, there was not much of a difference between the conclusion and death, after Kang Xing Luo lost connection, Li Hong Ming utilized his network to look for Xing Luo, the result was throwing a stone and see it sink without a trace in the sea, no news whatsoever.

(T/N: lit. to throw a stone and see it sink without trace in the sea (idiom) / fig. to elicit no response)

Whenhe received a phone call from Kang Xing Luo, Li Hong Ming felt like he was dreaming. In his heart, he had already given up hope that Kang Xing Luo was still alive.

He truly did think that Kang Xing Luo was dead.

“If I had known earlier I would’ve looked for you more seriously at that time…”

Kang Xing Luo’s mouth slowly curled upwards, trying his hardest to make himself sound smooth, “Aren’t I back now?’

Li Hong Ming laughed softly, his tone faltered for a second before it became cheerful again, “Yeah, it’s good that you’re back, rest assured big brother will have your back from now on.”

Young master Li was indeed young master Li, Kang Xing Luo was dizzy and tired, “Oh right, what’s the matter with the girl who made the appointment with me to go to the restaurant?”

Li Hong Ming said indifferently, “What can happen, it’s just like that. You know, men. You met her? She didn’t go crazy at you right?”

Couldn’t be said as she did go crazy, but there was a little conflict. Kang Xing Luo didn’t want to mention the matters of the past, and even more so he didn’t want to preach to Li Hong Ming, who occasionally could be an unfeeling scumbag, and he said jokingly, “I heard that when I was not here, you had a boyfriend? Who is it?”

Young master Li Hong Ming who originally spoke fluidly with assurance, abruptly stopped and was speechless for a long time.

Not knowing whether it was because of an unpleasant past or young master Li didn’t want to talk about it, Kang Xing Luo waited for a moment then sensing no movement, he allowed himself to fall asleep.

Even with Li Hong Ming sleeping behind him, Kang Xing Luo managed to have a solid sleep, he woke up at dawn.

Young master Li personally ordered takeaway, porridge with side dishes were placed on the table. After they ate, he went and found some clothes for Kang Xing Luo.

Li Hong Ming was taller than Kang Xing Luo, and his physique was more robust than the extremely thin Kang Xing Luo who was in a coma for two years, after trying on a couple clothing pieces that weren’t very well-fitted, but it wasn’t as comfortable as the patient’s uniform on Kang Xing Luo.

Kang Xing Luo, “Or, I’ll just wear this attire.”

Li Hong Ming, “You can’t, it makes you look sickly and not spirited. Why don’t we go out and buy some clothes.”

Going out wasn’t the problem, neither was buying something, the problem was that there was no money, Kang Xing Luo could reject this suggestion, Young master Li frowned and he himself became spiritless.

“……How is it that there’s a day when I have no money to spend?”

Kang Xing Luo felt somewhat inconceivable, not because of Li Hong Ming’s personal bankruptcy, but rather he didn’t have money on hand, yet they had not asked those rich kids who they used to hang around with to lend him money.

Li Hong Ming, “Borrow for what, I broke off from that broken circle a year ago…..”

Kang Xing Luo was surprised, “Broke off?”

Li Hong Ming, “Yeah, it was because……”

Once this topic was explained in-depth, it was as if it would uncover some dead romance story, so Kang Xing Luo simply pretended he hadn’t heard it.

Li Hong Ming looked at his bank account anxiously, “Ever since I’ve met you, I’ve been waiting everyday for the day where you would seek shelter from me. I never thought when that day finally came, I actually became poor like a dog, does your card have money now? Eh, nevermind, it’s impossible there will be money. Why the hell am I even asking……”

That sentence abruptly reminded Kang Xing Luo, he was startled and instantly recalled the string of zeros.

……There was indeed money in his card.

However, it was not his money.

“Do you have a computer?”

Li Hong Ming, “My tablet is in the bedside drawer.”

Kang Xing Luo took it out hurriedly, logging into his online bank and entered his card number, Li Hong Ming didn’t pay that much attention to him, he just assumed that Xing Luo was checking his own things and continued talking, “I think for now, we should find you a doctor. A person who was in a vegetable state and just woke up from a coma shouldn’t be wandering outside, work and whatnot. So don’t think about them, and just trust in me taking care of you. I would even sell my charms for you, wow, so moving.”

Kang Xing Luo was listening, but all of his attention was on the tablet computer screen, after inputting his card number, the username shown on the inquiry web page.

Joint Account: ——Kang Xing Luo, Kang Lai Yin.

It was truly his card and under his name. However, it was supposed to be his personal account, unexpectedly it changed to a joint account. The banks now could actually create joint accounts?

Kang Lai Yin, who was Kang Lai Yin?

An indescribable feeling came over Kang Lai Yin, there was some kind of thought rushed through his brain, he exited the online banking webpage and typed in the search engine ‘Kang Lai Yin’.

Kang Xing Luo didn’t think much of it, since his brain was nearly blank at this moment, the page refreshed and soon there were several thousand pages of news refreshed.

There were countless news and videos regarding Kang Lai Yin, Kang Xing Luo glanced at the profile section on top, the picture next to the three words Kang Lai Yin made his pupils shrank.

Clicking on it, enlarging the picture, it was a somewhat familiar face, both fierce yet handsome at the same time. Having the same appearance, the same jet-black hair colour, hair was slightly longer with self-curls on the ends.

There was no mistake, it was him!!

The man who came to him for two continuous days and always had something to say to him.

The man who knew him, knew his name, the evolved species who the police officer spoke of, with the surname Kang and who had a joint account with him.

……Was his cat!!
