Ou Hanting didn't speak anymore, he only kept on drinking. He didn't know why, but he had never gotten drunk before, yet tonight, he wanted to get drunk.

He Ruochen clinked glasses with him, "You came here to get drunk because of this?"

If Ou Hanting wanted to get drunk because of this matter, he would completely not understand. In his opinion, although Ou Hanting's reputation was bad, there were still many beauties who would try to get close to him with different goals in mind. Would he care about the little girl?

Moreover, the only person he had always liked was Ruo Linglong.

"Linglong is back." Ou Hanting said in a low voice.

"Huh?" This time, it was He Ruochen who was stunned.

He never thought that Ou Hanting would actually know about something that he didn't even investigate clearly.

"I've been following her since the moment she disappeared." Ou Hanting paused for a moment, if they thought that he was wrong, then they were just relying on the He family's information network. The people under Ou Hanting were all sharp elites, and were all well hidden by him, so everyone in the outside world thought that the He family's information network was extremely strong.

"You already know about it?" He Ruochen felt a layer of cold sweat gradually forming on his back.

"You already know about it?" It was rare for Ou Hanting to ask a question back, but there was still a hint of a smile on his lips, "That Zhe Yu guy won't let it go, right?"

He Ruochen's expression which had been forcefully holding on all this time finally collapsed. He looked at Ou Hanting in disappointment, "From the beginning, was everything under your control?"

"Right." Ou Hanting did not speak anymore, and looked at his good friend through the wine cup, "I have always trusted you a lot."

"I'm sorry." He Ruochen finally admitted his wrongs. He was well aware of Ou Hanting's callousness, but he did not expect himself to betray him one day.

"I know you still have guilt towards Zhe Yu." Ou Hanting suppressed his throat. Drinking too much wine would also be bad for his throat, "But this isn't the reason for you to hide it."

"I don't want Ruo Xiaoxiao to be injured." Seeing that her face had been completely ripped, He Ruochen did not care anymore, "From the first time I saw her, I had a good impression of her. She is different from all the women I have met before, I do not know why you are so concerned about her, but in my opinion, Ruo Xiaoxiao is enough."

"So, are you doing all this to help her?" Ou Hanting's tone was tinged with ridicule, "Therefore, you've already agreed to the matter that Zhe Yu is looking for you. Zhe Yu can't be stupid enough to think that he can control me just because he has control over that girl, right?"

"I know he can't play you." What He Ruochen had said was completely true. From the beginning, he had already known how deeply hidden Ou Hanting was, but he didn't expect him to be able to endure to this step and allow everyone to fall into his trap. He didn't expect him to even treat Ruo Linglong as a bargaining chip, "How can you bear to give your woman to your own brother?"

"Heh." Ou Hanting chuckled, "Zhe Yu has never touched Ruo Linglong."

It was He Ruochen's turn to be surprised, "Then why did she elope with Zhe Yu?"

"She just wanted to escape this political marriage." Zhe Yu coldly said. His eyes flashed with a cold light. "Zhe Yu wants to use her to control me. I'm just following his footsteps."

He Ruochen felt cold sweat running down his back. This man, he had stayed by his side for so many years, and only now did he realise how cold and merciless he was. He was like a lion in deep sleep, he had only just opened his eyes.

"I only hope that Ruo Xiaoxiao does not get hurt again. She loves you very much." He Ruochen answered honestly, "Moreover, I do not wish to see you brothers kill each other."

Ou Hanting remained silent for a long time, before she finally relaxed, "If it wasn't for this, do you think I would have told you this tonight?"

He Ruochen was stunned for a second. Ou Hanting had actually forgiven him for concealing the matter of Li Zheyu's return from him. He looked at Ou Hanting with some astonishment.

"You're my only friend." Ou Hanting faintly said, "There won't be a next time."

He Ruochen nodded and poured a bottle of wine down his throat.

Ou Hanting stood up and left.

He Ruochen looked at Ou Hanting's back, and for some reason, he felt that the current Ou Hanting, was extremely lonely.

He was like an emissary in the darkness, calmly watching everyone's actions. When everyone thought that he was the only king, he would be the victor.

However, the only thing he understood was that he had a few people by his side who could accompany him.

The woman he loved the most could be used as a bargaining chip to personally gift to his sworn enemy just to lure out Li Zheyu and make him lose miserably.

Such a person could actually forgive himself for thinking so much about his woman, or could he just treat her like a chess piece?

However, his thoughts stopped at what Ou Hanting had said, it was true, he was his only friend.

At that time when he broke with Li Zheyu, only she had stood firmly in his position.

After so many years, the circle of friends that Li Zheyu had originally established was growing larger and larger. However, he was the only person by Ou Hanting's side, and it was also from that time onwards, that Ou Hanting finally gave up on this so-called friendship.

It sounded sad.

He Ruochen took a deep breath and then put on his own suit, still wearing the same frivolous appearance.

As Ou Hanting walked halfway, he felt a little dizzy and his stomach was in a mess. Had he really drank too much?

It was as if he had broken off all ties with his own younger brother.

He had said that he would never meet again, that he would never recognize her again. He had personally given her a chance to live, but after increasing his power, he wholeheartedly wanted to take her down.

From the very beginning, he had already seen through Li Zheyu's tricks. He was the one who had raised his own little brother, so how could he not understand Li Zheyu's intentions?

However, what he did not expect was that He Ruochen had actually hidden the truth from him, and the reason was that he had fallen for that damned girl!

All these years of friendship had been ruined because of this woman!

From then on, he would not trust anyone, including Ruo Linglong.

Ruo Xiaoxiao felt a wave of uncontrollable hatred in his heart, but he couldn't resist the dizziness in his head. He could only stand at the edge of the hallway and watch all sorts of heavily made-up women come and go.

"Xiao Lin, hurry up, or the customer will start cursing you again." In front of them, a female drinking partner was shouting at the woman behind her.

"Coming, coming!" The woman called Xiao Lin quickly put on her high heels and limped out of the box. She had just finished serving a customer, but before she could put on her clothes, she started a new business. She was really busy.

She changed into her shoes and quickly ran over, but stopped when she was passing by Ou Hanting, and then took a step back and walked back. Isn't this the CEO of Ou’s?

Ou Hanting raised his head and looked at her in a daze. At this time, he was so drunk that he couldn't even open his eyes, he only felt that there were a lot of small stars moving around. Ruo Xiaoxiao's big, smiling eyes were blinking at him.
