Sun That Never Sets

“Hate you? Why would I?” Yang Chen asked.

Xiao Zhiqing said softly, “Because I purposely made you quarrel with your wife about our past…”

“Oh,” Yang Chen said and he asked again, “Did I make love to you in L.A.?”

Xiao Zhiqing immediately went red. She felt the anger and humiliation rise every time she thought of it. “Are you trying to humiliate me? Yes! That’s right! We did do it! For the entire afternoon!”

“Then that’s settled. You didn’t make up the story. Sure, I’m not happy about what you did, but I don’t hate you for it,” Yang Chen said.

Xiao Zhiqing was stunned at first and then became teary-eyed. “Yang Chen… you’re so nice to me…”

“I’m nice to you?” Yang Chen asked in bewilderment.

She nodded earnestly. “You are the nicest person I’ve ever met in my whole life.”

It was Yang Chen’s turn to be speechless. She didn’t sound like she was lying.

But why?

“You don’t believe me? You treated and cured the toxins in my body. Now you’re curing my wound. I made you quarrel with your wife and yet you don’t hate me. You even went so far as to wipe me down…” Xiao Zhiqing’s heart warmed when she thought of it.

This man might not admit it but deep down, he cared about her.

“Stop joking around. With your looks, it wouldn’t be hard to find a guy who would treat you the same if not better,” Yang Chen said.

Xiao Zhiqing lowered her head. “I went to the States immediately after leaving home. I didn’t get the chance to meet many people and those whom I did meet were either perverts or pedophiles. They only wanted my body. They didn’t say it but I could tell.”

“The world isn’t as dark as you think. Nice people still exist.” Yang Chen tried convincing her.

“No! That’s because you’re lucky! Everyone around me is mean!” Xiao Zhiqing yelled suddenly.

Yang Chen didn’t know how to reply, so he shifted the topic to something else. “You kept asking me questions so now it’s my turn. Who are you and how did you find me? And, why did you want to find me?”

Xiao Zhiqing kept quiet for a while and mumbled, “After running away, I picked up the basics of hacking. I had a photo of you, so I hacked into the airline company for your information. Then I went to the police station in Zhonghai for more details…”

Yang Chen’s jaw dropped. Was it really that easy?

“Then who are you, why did you come for me?”

Xiao Zhiqing hesitated for a while and frowned in determination as if she had made up her mind. “If I told you my identity, can you promise me one thing?”

“What thing?” Yang Chen frowned.

“Take revenge for me.”

“Huh?”

“I said to take revenge for me.” Xiao Zhiqing looked at him expectantly. “I’ll do anything for you as long as you agree to take revenge for me.”

When it came to emotional support, Liu Mingyu was a more suitable choice compared to Cai Yan. Liu Mingyu had a gentle and soft personality whereas Cai Yan was a hotheaded person.

It took eight rings for Liu Mingyu to pick up the phone.

He could hear loud noises blasting through the phone.

“Hello…” Liu Mingyu’s voice was a bit muffled but gentle as always.

Yang Chen frowned. “Mingyu dear, where are you? Are you drunk?”

Liu Mingyu hummed. “I’m at the karaoke with my schoolmates. We came here after the concert… Hubby… come and fetch me… I’m drunk…”

“Why are you still drinking at this hour?”

Yang Chen was speechless. He couldn’t possibly ask the Sea Eagles to escort her home since she was with her schoolmates.

Yang Chen drove towards the karaoke place that Liu Mingyu was at after confirming the location.

Meanwhile, on the upper side of the planet, something else was going on.

The sun never set in the North Pole which caused the temperature to stay around negative ten degrees Celsius.

In the past, the polar bears might have been the only residence here, but now, it would seem that the north pole had made way for their new residents.

Suddenly, the surface of the ice opened up.

With a closer look, one could see that there was something beneath the ice. There was an underground laboratory made out of alloy!

How could someone build a laboratory underneath the ice?! This was impossible! No amount of money and technology would have permitted the construction of this laboratory!
