Chapter 178 - THE PROMISE, THE SECRET. {III}

Jiuwen's hands tightened around the steering wheel then her brain made the thought of following him.

Meanwhile at the last floor, Riuwen had been watching through the windows. He had seen Zhaolin speed unto the main road and prayed silently that he will be safe.

And the black cat he was familiar with crawl out and unto the road too.

He will be safe. Riuwen closed his eyes, took in deep breaths and sighed. "This is for the best."

With her hands in her pant pockets, Yuxi smiled broadly. "I have taken too much to act... It's high time."

She was standing in front of the number one most renowned restaurant in Shanghai.

The Fu Restaurant.

Yuxi strode up to the door and it parted for her, with her hands still in her pocket she made her way to the door that had the CEO Fu tag on it.

She raised her hand to knock but stopped midway when she heard someone speak to her.

"Excuse me, miss but who are you looking for?"

Yuxi eyes moved from the name tag on the door to the young man standing at her side. "Mrs Xing II,"

"Ah," he made a mental note of who it was. "You mean madam Fu?"

Fu Xiaocan, that was her name. She remembered the first time they had met, the apparent shock on the woman's face when she said her surname.

"Yes,"

"Oh," he pouted. "She's not here now, did you have an appointment?"

Yuxi pressed her mouth together. "My biggest mistake. I'll call beforehand next time."

He nodded with a smile. "That will be much better."

Yuxi nails dug into her hands and the veins on her head popped up. She has really given this woman a lot of time to be happy. But no more.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#&apos;s-love_13372375705587405/the-promise-the-secret.-%7Biii%7D_51580457086665296">#&apos;s-love_13372375705587405/the-promise-the-secret.-%7Biii%7D_51580457086665296</a> for visiting.

She left, still angered by the fact she couldn't meet up with Mrs Xing II today. She then decided to call and chat with her brother. He had said something about getting a girlfriend and bringing her home during the new year holidays.

The four wheels ghost car, made a screeching stop in front of New World Club, Inn and Bar. Zhaolin tossed the key to the valet and sauntered into the building and was immediately consumed by warmth and loud sound of music.

He had only been here for the opening, but knew his way around. He soon found the person he was looking for.

Dai Jingyao was sitting in between two ladies, a wine glass in his left hand and the right picking fruits from a plate.

Zhaolin got closer and kicked the table away, causing the bottles on the table to topple over, with shattering noise.

Dai Jingyao head spin to see who it was, his eyes shook at the discovery and he fell into a trance.

Zhaolin? He had never been violent towards him or Xian... Jingyao felt a hand grab his collar and pull him to his feet.

The girls screamed and moved towards the door.

"What is wrong with you bro?" Jingyao asked when he had recovered from his shock. Instead of an answer, Zhaolin punched him hard on the face then let go of him to watch him fall back into the brown leather couch.

Jingyao felt his head spin, he had never been punched this hard all good life even though he had a tough time as an orphan.

"Zhao... Zhaolin I don't know what is wrong with you but you have to calm down." Jingyao put his two hands up in defense. Now talking would be hard because his mouth hurt.

Jingyao slides to a position he thought was safe and far from Zhaolin. He then straightened and stood up.

His eyes lost focus for a while but he steadied it. "Now bro, let's talk."

"Security!" The two girls screamed and Jingyao face palmed.

"Shut up and get out!!" He bellowed. The two girls scurried away for their safety.

Zhaolin didn't take his eyes off Jingyao the whole time. He was seething, but he tried to put some distance between him and Jingyao. While giving him time to come back to his senses.

"Bro, I don't believe you saved up all your energy these past years to use it on me first." Jingyao whɨnėd, the pain was out of this world. Jingyao looked up to meet those icy glares from him and instincts told him to move back.

"Okay, okay. Can you at least talk and stop being so quiet?" Jingyao pleaded. "Your eyes are giving me the chills, so please talk. Hmm?"

"Fine then," Zhaolin said and took three large steps that was separating him from Jingyao.

"Firstly, I'll start by asking you." Zhaolin bent down and picked up the chopstick Jingyao had been using to pick fruits from earlier. "Do you know who Bai Xueyan is?"

Jingyao had never been so confused in his lifetime as he was now. "Hehehe," he let out a dry laugh. "Sure, sure. She's..."

"The woman I love." Zhaolin completed.

I had wanted to say our classmate, silly. Jingyao didn't dare voice that out. It wasn't time to joke around.

"Yes, bro. I'm well aware of that."

"Then do you know why I chose to be with Xiao Shiya?"

Jingyao felt extremely tired looking back into Zhaolin's eyes. Those eyes were murderous. "For the fact that Xueyan disappeared."

"No," Zhaolin's mouth tightened and he said through gritted teeth. "Because my mother would have done everything in her power to make sure I got married."

Jingyao nodded. "That makes sense beside you shouldn't be sin..." Single for too long. "It's because you are the only son."

"Now, that aside. Why do you think I failed in finding Xueyan?" 

Jingyao scratched his head. "I don't..." He paused and made a rethink. Perhaps, Zhaolin knows... "What are you going on about, Zhao? Just go straight to the point."

"I don't know you to be gullible," Zhaolin then raised the chopstick that had a needle like mouth to Jingyao's neck and watched him stiffen. "I can clearly see you are nervous, and it will help me greatly since I can see your blood pipe so clear."

Jingyao swallowed. "Who told you?"

The sharp point entered deeper into Jingyao's skin. "Oh, you finally get it?"

Jingyao's breathing became hard. "It was for you..."

"For me?" Zhaolin looked like he was really going to pierce his vein. "Did I ask you to do anything for me?"

"Haha," Jingyao laughed. "Come on bro, you've to calm down. If we hadn't done it..."

"I won't be leaving with that two faced woman."

Jingyao knew whom he was talking about. "Calm down, please."

"I should actually make you feel the same pain I'm feeling at this moment."

Jingyao slowly moved his head to the other side, the needle was ready to pierce him. He could feel it. "If that will make you feel better..." Please don't do it! Jingyao screamed in his head. Then the memories of that day flooded in.

A very drunk Zhaolin... And that, 

Suddenly a tear dropped from his eyes. "I'm sorry bro, I'm so sorry."

"Do you think your apologies would do?"

"I know, but please believe me when I say I'm sorry."

"Believe you?"

"Ah!!" Jingyao let out a painful cry, the needle had finally pierced his through his neck.

"What else?" Zhaolin didn't look like he was going to go easy on him. "Then do you know who it was?"

Jingyao's eyes that was tightly closed shut up, he forgot the needle and straightened up, earning a scratch from the metal. 'He doesn't know‽'

"Can you at least tell me, who told you about it?"

"Is it so important?" Zhaolin pulled the chopstick out and threw it to the floor.

Jingyao put a hand to the spot so as not to allow blood drip from it.

"Yes,"

"Just tell me, hmm?" Besides whomever told you knows the culprit. 

"Just tell me who it is, you've already wasted a lot of years holding onto the news."

Jingyao stepped back and took out his handkerchief to tie around his neck. He thought about who might have revealed it to Zhaolin.

"It won't be so easy," Jingyao said. "Even if the culprit is caught, will you be able to punish him?"

Zhaolin's face scrunched up. "Worry about yourself first because I'm not done with your punishment."

Jingyao's mouth fell open. "You're sick."

"Who is it?" Zhaolin asked. "Who is it that you're so scared to speak up?" He saw through Jingyao. He was obviously frightened to speak the name of the person.

"Whomever told you is a piece of shit! Why make you come after me? I'm not the only one that knows. And I'm sorry, I won't be the one to tell you the name of the culprit."

Another blow was sent towards Jingyao's handsome face... No, not his nose!
