When Ferne received the call, he was dealing with drunken troubles in the room. He put the call in his ear and answered the phone, "Ferne, the person you asked me to pay attention to, Noah, he is here."
"What?" Ferne didn't quite understand.
"He's been detained, because he hit someone on the street and committed intentional assault. He's sitting in the interrogation room without saying a word. It's all thanks to you showing me his picture. Otherwise, I wouldn't have recognized him..."
"I'll go over later. Help me keep an eye on him." Ferne was about to hang up when he added, "Bring some clean clothes, including shoes and socks."
After Ferne came out of the garage, he saw the rain falling from the sky through the car glass, and his mind was clear.
However, he couldn't understand why Noah had got himself into the police station. Was it a new plan?
When Ferne arrived at the police station and saw Noah in the interrogation room, he was impressed by Noah. If it was a new plan, then it would be freaking awesome, because he completely believed it!
Noah sat on the chair, with the mud and water on his suit. His face was bruised, caused by the crowd who came to stop him. His entire body was dripping. The police also knew how to do things. They put a big basin under his seat and his entire body was in it. If the water dripped down, it would only drip into the basin and not wet the floor.
He lowered his head, with his hair wet against his scalp. The joints of his back neck bulged as he lowered his head, and his two long arms drooped. He looked at the ground for nothing. The officer in front of him tapped the table a few times but couldn't get his attention. If it wasn't for the reputation of the police station, these policemen would have already hit him.
Ferne walked into the interrogation room and handed a few packets of Marlboro to them before saying, "Sorry, he is my friend, and he is in a bad mood."
"Oh, he is your friend. If you had told us earlier, we would have found him a blanket..."
"Thanks. I brought some clothes."
After saying that, everyone in the room stared at the bag in his hand.
Ferne came here prepared, but it was clear that Noah didn't call him for help. Who told him?
Ferne saw that everyone's curious and suspicious, so he lied, "I've been looking for him on the streets. I'm afraid that he'll get wet so I take his clothes with me. Thanks to a brother in the police station recognized him..."
Ferne was acknowledged to be generous when he was in the police station. People didn't know where he came from, however, they were willing to be friends with him because he was bold and forthright. Although everyone on the team called him brother, they knew very little about him. Now, after he said that, they immediately forgot to think about which team had told him the information. Instead, they kept guessing which team had such a good relationship with him that they actually knew his friends?
The people from the interrogation room came out and brought Noah out. Ferne punched him when he saw him, "You big idiot! Isn't it just a break-up? Ah! There are so many women in the world! Do you have to like that? Look at yourself, if I were that woman, I would break up with you, too!"
When Noah heard his voice, he raised his head and looked at him indifferently.
Ferne immediately felt that he must be thinking of revenge. He patted him on the shoulder as if he was trying to remedy the situation, "Go home. I will take you home and find you a new beautiful girlfriend."
Everyone finally understood, "That is why he caught a stranger and beat him up. The person's face was completely disfigured. Ferne, you have to compensate. His family member is still asking for compensation and apology..."
"Forget about apology. What if they start to fight again, don't you think?" Ferne took out a small bag from the bag and opened it. There were a few stacks of money inside. He stuffed the bag into someone's hand and said, "It's a cold day. I brought you some food." He whispered, "You guys can do whatever you want. I'll take him away. Thank you, guys."
He patted them on the shoulders before leaving, then pulled Noah out.
The car at the door had already turned on the heating. As soon as they got in, Ferne threw the bag of clothes to him. "Hurry up and put them on. Don't dirty my car."
Noah remained silent and lowered his head to take off his clothes. His joints and fingers were frozen stiff. It took him a long time to unbutton a button. After that, he tore the shirt when he frowned to twist the button. The buttons were everywhere, and one of them directly bounced onto the car glass.
Ferne cried out, "Be careful! That shirt cost me a lot!"
"Why are you still wearing these? You haven't changed your clothes in two days? Holy shit, haven't you? What happened to you?"
Noah did not answer him. He took off his shirt and trousers. Finally, he sat naked in the back seat. It was warm inside the car, and he just sat there and did not move at all.
Ferne looked at the rearview mirror and said, "Damn, can you put on your clothes? There's a DUI driver not far away. If they see a naked man in my car, what do they think?"
However, no matter what he said, Noah remained silent.
Ferne took a shorter route and drove to the hotel garage. Then, he looked back and said, "What happened to you? What happened that night? Why didn't you say anything?"
Noah finally raised his head, but his gaze was not on him, but on the windshield.
Ferne turned around in confusion and saw a woman standing in front of the car, his wife.
"Holy shit!"
At this moment, Ferne felt that such a crazy thing happened to him was definitely because he had committed too many sins in his previous life!
He thought that it was almost dark now. Besides, there weren't many cars nearby, but he had forgotten about his wife. Her parking space was right next to his!
"Ferne, come down." Lili Jones knocked on the window of the car.
Ferne shouted at Noah, who was sitting in the back seat, "Hurry up and put on the clothes! Damn it!"
Lili stood in front of the car door and asked, "Who is he in your car?"
Ferne closed the car door and looked through the window. He never kept secrets, and his window did not have that kind of private protective film. As long as someone from outside looked at the window, they could see Noah's sturdy broad shoulders, thin waist, and straight and powerful legs.
"Listen, it's raining outside. His clothes are wet. Then he was changing in the car. He just took off his clothes and was ready to change..."
Lili interrupted him coldly. Her artificial face was pulling a gentle smile and her eyes were spitting fire, "I thought you were just frigid before, but I know that you aren't sexless but impotent after we married several years. But now I realized that I was wrong. Turns out you like men."
Ferne, "What?"
Lili slapped Ferne, "You big bastard, you lied to me!"
"..."
Ferne grabbed her hand and said, "Wait a moment, you're being too dramatic. Really, I can explain."
"I won't listen!" Lili covered her ears.
Ferne released her hand and shrugged, "Forget it if you don't listen to me."
"...."
