Chapter 24 : How did Xu Zhun know Big Brother?

══════════════════

He Chengyang had walked out of the KTV and drove to the nearby supermarket. He followed the list on the text message and started purchasing snacks and drinks.

When he was about to check out, his phone rang.

“Hello!” He Chengyang sounded impatient.

“Young Master He, something happened!”

He Chengyang heard that it was the KTV manager’s voice and he said with a frown, “What’s all the yelling about? Is the sky falling?”

“That young boy you brought here, he’s pissed off Young Liu and Young Qin! It seems he’s been given drugs and is in the private room ……”

Before the manager could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by He Chenyang’s cursing voice: “Holy shit! How dare they touch my man!”

He Chengyang threw down his shopping cart and ran towards the supermarket door.

“Sir, your things!” The cashier called out, and at the same time the words fell, He Chengyang had already ran away without a trace.

He Chengyang drove his car as fast as he could, racing all the way to KTV.

He went straight to the top floor private room and found the door open and the manager was directing the waiters to pack up everything.

He Chengyang pushed past the people at the door and rushed into the private room, his breath hitched at the sight of the chaotic room.

The lights in the room were bright, clearly illuminating the broken bottles on the floor and the blood stains on the floor.

The blinding sight of blood made He Chengyang’s eyes hurt, and the fist he dropped to his side squeezed tightly.

“Where is everyone?”

He turned back, his gloomy eyes fixed on the manager with a deadly stare.

The manager, shivering with fear, said warily, “Go …… Gone!”

“I’m fucking asking you, where is my man?”

He Chengyang’s tone was fierce, but his slightly trembling voice still gave away the tension in his heart.

He didn’t dare to think about how Xu Zhun would be treated?

He actually knew very well how crazy these princelings in the circle were when they were playing.

Drugs, abuse, torture …… They have played with all these forbidden things. 

If Xu Zhun experienced these …… He Chengyang’s fists were clenched, he didn’t dare to think about it!

“Don’t worry, Young Master He! The young boy who came with you has already been taken away by Mr. He.”

The manager’s words of comfort did not put He Chengyang’s mind at ease and he frowned: “Mr. He?”

“Yes! Mr. He!” The manager said, “It’s your elder brother.”

He Chengyang’s expression shuddered, “Are you sure?”

He found it unbelievable, how could Xu Zhun know his elder brother?

“It’s really Mr. He!” The manager said, “Mr. He fixed up both Young Liu and Young Qin. The police station was alarmed and the people were escorted to the bureau.”

He Chengyang’s brows were locked tight, he couldn’t figure out how Xu Zhun could know his big brother.

He Chengyang walked out of the KTV, his face was gloomy and frightening.

He sat in the car and slapped the steering wheel heavily.

Fuck!

Xu Zhun, that bitch!

After seducing him, he went on to seduce his big brother!

In the meanwhile, He Tianming had taken Xu Zhun out of the KTV and put him in the passenger seat of his car.

Xu Zhun had been dosed with drugs and was disoriented and insensible.

It was a good thing that the pills were only sleeping pill-like agents that would make his arms and legs weak and defenceless after taking them.

Xu Zhun was still somehow aware and was surprised when he saw He Tianming.

It was only later that he remembered his phone call and thought that he must have had inadvertently dialed He Tianming’s mobile number.

“Mr. He, I’m sorry I’ve troubled you today!”

Xu Zhun’s voice was very soft and sounded breathless.

He Tianming was worried that the medicine he had been given was damaging his health, so he looked at him with concern and asked, “Are you sure you don’t need to go to the hospital?”

Xu Zhun shook his head, “I don’t want to go to the hospital.”

He Tianming thought he was afraid that his reputation would be affected, but in fact Xu Zhun was more afraid that He Tianming would find out about his illness.

He was already in a mess today, and he didn’t want to see sympathy in the eyes of others again.

“I’ll go home and get some sleep, I’ll be fine tomorrow!”

He Tianming examined him and found that he looked sickly and weak.

Without a word, he drove the car to his place and He Tianming asked the maid to bring in the family doctor.

Xu Zhun’s consciousness was growing fuzzy and his feet were weak as he got out of the car. He Tianming held him by the elbow and let him lean into his arms as he helped him into the guest room.

By now Xu Zhun had no idea where he was, he was dizzy and felt like the world was turning upside down in front of him.

The family doctor came quickly, diagnosed Xu Zhun and said that he would recover tomorrow after a good night’s rest.

But before he left, the family doctor told him that Xu Zhun’s body was very weak and that he would like for him to go to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up when he recovered.

He Tianming was secretly concerned and decided to wait for Xu Zhun to wake up and remind him to go to the hospital.

Covering Xu Zhun with the blanket, He Tianming gingerly walked out of the guest room.

On the other hand, He Chengyang’s mind was in turmoil. All he could think about was what his elder brother would do to Xu Zhun after he took him away.

Would he kiss and hug him like he did, or engage in some deeper exchanges with him like he did?

Xu Zhun’s blushing and shy face in bed popped into his head, and just the thought of him making that face under another man made He Chenyang feel like he had been stabbed hard in the heart.

It hurt!

Fuck!

He cursed out loud!

Why should he care about this lowly man?

Was there a shortage of people around him?

He Chengyang tried to stifle all those complicated emotions in him.

He did not allow himself to think about Xu Zhun again.

The ringing of his mobile phone pulled him back from his irritation; it was Lin Shuo’s call.

“Brother Chengyang, where have you been? Why haven’t you come yet? I’ve been waiting impatiently.”

Hearing his clear voice, He Chengyang came to his senses.

It was clearly Lin Shuo that he liked! Why should he be bothered by Xu Zhun?

“Xiao Shuo, there was a delay. I’ll go back now.”

“Then hurry up! I’m waiting for you!”

“Okay!”

After hanging up the phone, He Chengyang started the car.

The He family and the Lin family were neighbours, and Lin Shuo’s villa was right next to their old mansion.

He Chengyang rang the doorbell and it was Lin Shuo who opened the door.

“Brother Chengyang, you’re late!”

Lin Shuo curved the corners of his eyes and looked at the man in front of him with an angry expression.

With the porch light, he noticed that He Chengyang’s face did not look right: “You …… What’s wrong with you?”

It was clear that there was Lin Shuo standing in front of him, the person he had liked for so many years. But all he could see in front of his eyes was Xu Zhun’s figure, making that uneasiness and irritation in his heart rise up again.

He Chengyang stepped inside with a sullen face, and Lin Shuo, knowing his bad temper, came over and held his arm: “Brother Chengyang, are you uncomfortable somewhere?”

He stood on his tiptoes and pressed his palm to He Chengyang’s forehead.

A hand clutched his wrist hard and Lin Shuo’s hand was pulled away.

He Chengyang said in a deep voice: “Call big brother!”

Lin Shuo’s expression changed instantly, and resistance surfaced in his eyes, “Why do you need to call Brother Tianming?”

“Don’t ask so many questions! Call him now! Ask him where he is? And who is he with?”

He Chengyang roared low in anger, his look was appalling.

Lin Shuo could only do as he said and dialed He Tianming’s mobile phone.

He was on speakerphone and He Tianming’s low, powerful voice came out through the phone’s loudspeaker, “What’s up?”

Even when he was not face to face, just thinking of He Tianming’s cold face made Lin Shuo scared. “Brother Tianming, are you home?”

“What’s the matter?” He Tianming did not give a direct answer.

Lin Shuo looked at the man beside him for help, and He Chengyang raised his eyebrows and gestured for him to continue asking.

Lin Shuo swallowed and bravely said, “Brother Chengyang and I are watching a movie at home and would like you to come along. Are you free?”

He Tianming: “No time!”

Lin Shuo: “……”

He Chengyang couldn’t hold back and grabbed the phone: “Big brother, are you at home or at the office?”

He Tianming: “I’m at home!”

He Chengyang’s heart thudded: did his big brother bring Xu Zhun home with him?

As if in response, a very soft voice came over the loudspeaker: “Mr. He, I’d better go back!
