Back at the police station, Jiang Yue Lou was still looking over the map carefully. The combined information of Chen Yu Zhi and Song Rong was noted on the map and were gradually overlaying several locations.

With his thumb as the compass center and his index finger as the radius, Jiang Yuelou slowly outlined an invisible circle on the map. He maintained this posture and with his other hand, started to draw a circle around other locations, then he slowly rotated his two hands towards the middle, until his two fingers touched together.

A smile appeared on Jiang Yue Lou’s face, he released his hand and picked up the pen to draw a red dot at the intersection of the two circles.

“Yongning Street.”

PQF78N

Sun Yongren’s voice came from outside the door, “Here to report, sir!”

“Come in.”

Song Rong and Sun Yongren walked in together.

“Boss, we got the result of the internal investigation and Li Sihai is the most suspicious. On the tenth day, someone saw him and Zhao Xiaochun walking together on the street.” KvdULe

Jiang Yue Lou looked back at the red dot on the map and smiled unpredictably, “We have our bait now.”

He motioned for the two to come forward to look at the map. “These small circles are where Jinmatang abducted the girls. Because the missing reports were too scattered before, no connection could be found. But now, if you look at it…”

Jiang Yue Lou pointed at the area near Yongning Street with a pen.

Song Rong immediately understood, “If the location of the abduction cases overlaps with the location of Jinmatang’s resale of opium, the central point can be found.” au3P46

Jiang Yue Lou’s eyes shined, “Yes, where all these positions intersect, the overlapping area is likely to be the hiding place of Jimmatang.”

Sun Yongren looked at Jiang Yue Lou, then at Song Rong, scratching his head and finally asked, “That sounds right. But Yongning Street is not a remote place. If Jimmatang’s den is hidden here, how did we never heard of it before?”

A sly individual has more than one plan to fall back onA sly individual has more than one plan to fall back on*. Jimmatang has not just one nest in Yongning Street. They are hidden deep, and would be hard to find if we don’t make a big move.”

“Then, we still can’t find them?!” TFbOBN

Jiang Yue Lou snorted, “That’s why we will use the bait. If we do a good job this time, we can catch the spies and Jimmatang all at once.”

His fingers heavily taped on the circle where Yongning Street was located, “Song Rong take some people with you there and watch the street. Take new faces with you to occupy the key positions. I will be in charge at the bureau.”

“Yes sir”

“Boss, you make the arrangements, Song Rong will collect the net.” gu4fGC

Sun Yongren asked anxiously, “Then what about me? What will I have to do?”

“You?” Jiang Yue Lou, “Go and bait the hook for me.”

Such a big plan couldn’t be done without informing Director Ban Jinbo. Jiang Yue Lou sorted out all the data of his plan and went to Bai Jinbo’s office. The two discussed the whole afternoon, and they were at ease after analyzing all the details together.

When Jiang Yue Lou walked out of the police station, the afterglow of the setting sun had enveloped the earth. He happily took a breath of the cold air and stretched his arms in the cool breeze. At the moment he raised his arms, he saw Chen Yu Zhi standing at the police station’s gate. l2fkdw

Jiang Yue Lou was taken aback, only to recall that it was Friday, the day Chen Yu Zhi had suggested a meeting. That obstinate individual pursued him to the police station!

He strode helplessly. Chen Yu Zhi raised his head and a hint of joy flashed across his face when he saw him. Without saying anything, Jiang Yue Lou grabbed Chen Yu Zhi’s arm and pulled him out of the police station gate.

“What are you doing here?!”

“I’m here to see you.” RxcXDu

“I said I don’t need it!”

“But I came to treat you.”

“It’s called coming uninvited.” Jiang Yue Lou grunted, “You are dressed so thinly, waiting here in the cold all day, you have noble medical ethics.”

“This is why it is said that a doctor’s heart is the same as that of a parent,” The dragged person said casually. 2nGko4

“You!” Jiang Yue Lou stopped and glared at Chen Yu Zhi. The latter showed a playful expression as if he wanted to see how the other would retort.

Jiang Yue Lou raised his eyebrows. “You are in a good mood today, something good happened?”

Chen Yu Zhi nodded, “Actually yes. My friend and I opened a clinic together, it’s not far away, near the North Market.”

“I won’t go there, there are too many people in the hospital.” Jiang Yue Lou thought for a while, “Let’s go, I’ll take you somewhere.” 4ERgfe

Seeing that he no longer refused, Chen Yu Zhi didn’t argue and walked behind Jiang Yue Lou.

“Are you afraid that others will find out about your illness?”

“Again, I don’t think I’m sick.”

Jiang Yue Lou said without looking back, “But as a policeman, having emotional instability is not good. I’ll just … if you can change this, I will give it a try. Besides, this doesn’t mean I’m cooperating. You have read so many books already, you have to study anyway, right?” plsbPW

His fallacious reasoning made Chen Yu Zhi smiled and shook his head, “Then I have to thank Chief Jiang.”

Don't mention it*, the information you provided before was very helpful, it’s me who should thank you.”

Chen Yu Zhi turned his head and looked at Jiang Yue Lou, “Really? Was it really helpful?”

“Yes, it was.” Jiang Yue Lou nodded, “There will be news tomorrow. You should wait and see.” w973xH

If they were about to catch Jimmatang, that would be great news. Hope arose in Chen Yu Zhi’s heart, and the cold wind was not so bitter anymore. It was only then that he noticed he was not far from the front door of his house. By habit, Chen Yu Zhi was about to open his door, but Jiang Yue Lou didn’t stop and walked straight over.

“Here.”

Chen Yu Zhi, confused, walked a few steps and turned around the corner with him. Jiang Yue Lou stood in front of the door, taking out the key to unlocking it.

“This is…” Chen Yu Zhi said in surprise, “Is this …your home?” NuSjc0

Jiang Yue Lou nodded, “Yes.”

The two courtyards are located at the southwest corner of Shouxi Road and Donghua Street. The gate of Chen Yu Zhi’s house faced the north and the gate of Jiang Yue Lou’s house faced the east, with their houses just separated by a wall.

“I saw the interrogation record you filled out at the police station. I rarely come back home since I moved here a year ago, so that’s why we never met.”

Jiang Yue Lou went in to get some food for Xiao Bai while watching Chen Yu Zhi and the cat playing together, “This cat is naughty and likes to go around. Does it often come to your house?”

“Yes, Keying likes it very much and feeds it often.” Speaking of Keying, Chen Yu Zhi paused. He stood up and brushed his clothes.

“It’s getting late, shall we start?” VMz Ly

“Sure, it’s up to you.”

Although Jiang Yue Lou didn’t come home often, the house was always neat and clean. The exquisite and old bookshelf was full of old and new books. The few other furnishings were also very elegant. A large window was opened next to the wall of the small courtyard, decorated with a glass and sandalwood lattice window, which was bright and windproof. Under the window, there was a Kang* table according to the habits of the Northerners. The two sat opposite each other on both sides of the table.

After Jiang Yue Lou boiled some water, he took the tea tray on the side of the Kang table, swung the pot, poured tea and water in the pot, and soaked a cup in warm water before holding the pot to pour the tea. The red tea was poured up and down three times in two cups. He put down the pot and pushed one cup in front of Chen Yu Zhi with his slender fingers.

“Please drink the tea.” S7iQ5n

Chen Yu Zhi sat cross-legged quietly, looking at his methodical movements, feeling extremely pleasing to the eye. The warm light of the sunset shone through the lattice window on the side face of Jiang Yue Lou, softening his outstanding solemn face.

“What are you thinking?”

“I was wondering how such a gentle person could sometimes become extremely emotional.”

“People are not plants, who can be emotionless? There are a lot of moody people.” Jiang Yue Lou retorted, “Even if I have an emotional illness, this disease doesn’t prevent me from eating and sleeping, so why are you caring so much?” q0Jjn9

Chen Yu Zhi lowered his eyes, “I didn’t want to bother, but when we started to get close, I found out that you were not acting brutally or tyrannically. Your loss of control is induced by some kind of stimulus, and it is pathological.”

Jiang Yue Lou sneered, “So what? Am I arousing your curiosity? You think I am a difficult disease, worthy of your doctor’s research?”

“It’s not…”

“No need to lie!” Jiang Yue Lou interrupted him, “You are afraid of me just like the others! You are afraid of me and think I am a madman, that I can’t be a good policeman!” zFcUfB

“That’s not true!” Chen Yu Zhi raised his head abruptly, his black eyes were like two flames, so bright that people dare not look straight at them.

“You are a good policeman, and so you can’t be ruined by any emotional illness! The anti-drugs police department needs you. Jingcheng needs you. If I can cure you, or at least help you control your emotions, you’ll be able to realize your ambitions and Jingcheng could be freed of the poison of opium. That’s why I want to help you because you are helping the people of Jingcheng!”

Chen Yu Zhi’s voice was not high but trembled with enthusiasm, and these few words rattled Jiang Yue Lou’s ears like thunder. He never expected this kind of answer. Some people said life and death have the same value. Chen Yu Zhi gave up his life several times to help him because he had such high expectations of him!

The word “Zhi Ji*” crossed his mind, and Jiang Yue Lou’s blood was boiling. He could hardly sit still, stood up, and paced back and forth in the room, before calming down after a while and looking back at Chen Yu Zhi. GETUtd

“Okay, I’ll cooperate with you in treating my disease.” He gritted his teeth and nodded, “Me, Jiang Yue Lou will never disappoint your expectations Chen Yu Zhi.”

Chen Yu Zhi, also infected by his sudden motivation, stood up and nodded vigorously, “Yes!”

Unfortunately, sometimes people cannot only talk about pleasant things.

After the two sat down again, Chen Yu Zhi flipped through his notes and started to question him. GVO1CL

“Do you become irritable when you are not in control of your emotions?”

Jiang Yue Lou answered without thinking, “Maybe.”

Chen Yu Zhi cautiously continued, “Is there sometimes when you feel depressed and want to be alone, even though nothing has happened?”

Jiang Yue Lou replied casually, “Could be.” AI4jut

Chen Yu Zhi felt a little helpless, “Your answers are all ambiguous, making it difficult for me to confirm the symptoms. Could you please give me a more definite answer?”

Jiang Yue Lou was also helpless, “If I could give you a positive answer, I would have given it already. I don’t even know it myself.”

Chen Yu Zhi slid his finger along the pages of the book, found the previous question, and asked again, “Do you become irritable when you are not in control of your emotions?”

“I’m probably… more… grumpy.” bv6f3n

“Are you aware of this emotional change when it occurred?”

“Of course, I know.”

“Are your friends or your relatives also aware of these changes?”

Jiang Yue Lou shook his head, “Sun Yongren and Song Rong probably know something about it.” 16OuAs

Chen Yu Zhi was about to ask the next question, but Jiang Yue Lou continued to answer the previous one, “When an episode is about to occur, eating something sweet, especially chocolate, may relieve the symptoms.”

Chen Yu Zhi nodded, “That’s right, sweets may ease the emotions of a patient with bipolar disorder and depression. In many cases, the symptoms of this disease may originate from the childhood environment of the patient. How is your relationship with your family? Are there any close friends around you?”

Jiang Yue Lou attempted to unlock the door to his memories, which he had previously avoided. His dark memory surges out like a tide, making it impossible for him to breathe and causing him to shut his eyes involuntarily. The sounds of the woman moaning in despair and the man howling in rage, as well as the bitter sound of his fist landing on her body, were ripping his nerves apart.

Chen Yu Zhi was carefully observing the changes in his expression. At this time, Jiang Yue Lou was different from how he was a few minutes before. His eyes were dark, his breathing was heavy, and his cheeks turned red. Chen Yu Zhi felt a little uneasy and understood that this was the crux of the matter. FzpVvf

“It’s okay, don’t think about it, we will stop here for today.” Chen Yu Zhi held Jiang Yue Lou’s shoulder and whispered to him, “Jiang Yue Lou? Jiang Yue Lou? Wake up.”

His soft voice entered Jiang Yue Lou’s ears, and the voice was like a tree branch handed to a drowning man, pulling him out of the abyss. The black haze in front of Jiang Yue Lou gradually disappeared, and everything became clear again. Jiang Yue Lou took a long breath and slowly rubbed his face. His fingers were as cold as ice, like those of a dead person. Chen Yu Zhi removed his fingers away from his face and put them in his hands.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.” He repeated those words over and over again as if he wanted to reassure Jiang Yue Lou. There was convincing magic in his voice, “It’s over, no matter what happened to you in the past, it’s over.”

Jiang Yue Lou’s breathing gradually calmed down, and his fingers were no longer stiff. hn MA3

“How…” He whispered, “How did you…”

“Are you okay?”

Jiang Yue Lou shook his head and closed his eyes. “I don’t want to answer any more questions today.” He said dully, “Let’s stop here.”

Chen Yu Zhi nodded, got up, and started to pack up, “You did a great job today. Trying to avoid the problem will not solve anything, but facing it is the way. Take a good rest, tomorrow at five o’clock. I will come to you again.” 7xDQEv

Jiang Yue Lou grunted from his nose. If he hadn’t already said yes to Chen Yu Zhi before, he would have probably changed his mind.

Xiao Bai at the door rubbed Chen Yu Zhi’s leg to greet him. The latter bent down and touched its little head.

“Go, you should stay with your master. He is in a bad mood right now.”

“If you hadn’t bothered me, I would have been perfectly fine.” Jiang Yue Lou muttered from behind. tEUeKh

Chen Yu Zhi didn’t say anything, he just smiled at Xiao Bai and left. Xiao Bai seemed to have understood as he walked towards Jiang Yue Lou and meowed at him. Jiang Yue Lou breathed a sigh of relief. He felt tired and depressed, but there was also a strange sense of ease as if a small piece of the boulder on his shoulder had been taken away.

He picked up Xiao Bai and looked at his pair of brown-goldy eyes and gently rubbed Xiao Bai’s snow-white hair. He did not tell Chen Yu Zhi that Xiao Bai was not only his cat but also his lifesaver. One night, Jiang Yue Lou almost froze to death in the snow during the winter. Thanks to Xiao Bai who was nestling him all night, he didn’t freeze to death.

Can this emotional sickness be healed? He already went through nine deaths and was still alive*. But the suffering caused by opium will never go away.

“Tomorrow, maybe tomorrow it will.” nDEcH7

 

 

 

The sun was rising and several cars were parked in the yard of the police station. The atmosphere was inexplicably tense as if something big was about to happen. A rush of whistles sounded through the building, and a team of policemen with guns and ammunition ran out of the building and jumped into the car. Jiang Yue Lou got into the black car, and the car immediately drove out through the gate. ldJ6tg

Soon after the convoy left, Sun Yongren hurried in with two people. When he entered the door, he almost fell down and barely caught up to it by leaning on the policeman in front of him.

“Inspector Sun, why are you so anxious?”

Sun Yongren wiped the sweat on his head, “Something big happened! Jimmatang’s lair has been found! Is the director here? I have to tell him!”

The police officer did not dare to neglect, “Here, here, in the office.” fMjGn9

Sun Yongren nodded and ran up.

It happened that Li Sihai of the Intelligence Department who was holding a teacup was passing by at this moment. He glanced at Sun Yongren’s back and looked anxious. He hurriedly walked back to the office and was thinking nervously before picking up the phone.

The phone rang three times before someone answered, “Yes?”

Li Sihai whispered, “Commissioner Wu, it’s me!” xWT7ik

The voice on the phone immediately changed its tone, “Are you crazy!? How can you call my office!”

Li Sihai didn’t explain and said in a hurry, “The situation is urgent!  Inform Jimmatang, they have to withdraw quickly!”

He hung up the phone, wiped his forehead with his sleeve, picked up his teacup, and was about to leave, only to find that Sun Yongren was standing at the door, holding a gun in his hand, and staring at him with piercing eyes.

The teacup in Li Sihai’s hand fell to the ground with a shattering sound. eD1Iif

At Yongning Street, Song Rong was standing on the top floor of a tea house, looking around with binoculars. He suddenly noticed that a dozen people rushed out of a yard at the north corner of Yongning Street, and their behavior was very suspicious. He was about to call someone when he suddenly noticed that a group of people was also pouring out of the south corner of the street.

Song Rong frowned and turned his binoculars to look carefully. Sure enough, he recognized the profile of Wang Meng in the crowd at the north corner, leading a few people to run away, and disappeared into Song Rong’s blind spot. Song Rong stamped his foot and immediately turned and ran down.

He rushed out of the teahouse and ran in the direction of the underground casino, while shouting at the police next to him, “Block the target at the intersection of Yongning Street and Fuxi Road, and contact Section Chief Jiang, hurry!”

“Yes!” gDFrvc

The policeman took off, and the others rushed forward Song Rong.

 

 

  GnwcaH

In the middle of the open space of the casino, Han Zhong and Lao Huo stroke a match and throw it into a black spot on the ground. When the fire ignited in the pot, Lao Huo strode out of the study with a calm face.

“Our opium stock is gone, and we destroyed the records. Hurry, let’s go!”

Han Zhong nodded, “You take everyone out first, and I will deal with the aftermath.”

“Jiang Yue Lou, that bastard! He is worse than a dog’s nose!” Lao Huo scolded, “If it wasn’t for Wu Shuwei’s call l, we would have been fucked today!” O8I nU

Han Zhong pissed off, said with a grinning smile, “Treat him like a ghost, and he won’t take advantage! Just destroyed it all! Let’s see how this dog can deal with it!”

While speaking, a sharp brake sounded from above.

“Quickly, withdraw from the back door.”

Jiang Yue Lou looked ugly and stirred a pack of destroyed opium. The smell of opium was so strong that he wrinkled his nose and sneezed. Several police officers returned from different directions with all the same report. O0cJXR

“Report to the Section Chief, we found nothing.”

“No, nothing!”

“Neither here!”

Song Rong’s voice came, “Boss, there is something here!” sMd3Vw

Jiang Yue Lou led people into the room at the end of the corridor, and there was a black spot on the ground containing some burned materials that resembled black charcoal and faded when touched.

Song Rong picked out a few pieces of paper that hadn’t burned out, and carefully looked after them.

“The information was destroyed in an emergency and was probably important. Unfortunately, only these are left.”

Jiang Yue Lou took the pieces of paper and looked at them, “Give it to the Information department and let them analyze it. If they find something, tell me right away.” kUyr6T

“Yes.”

“Also, did you just say you saw Wang Meng before?”

Song Rong nodded, “Yes, in addition to this place, there was another location at the side of the street. It’s because I recognized Wang Meng that I was able to find this place. But I was still a step too late. Your subordinate was negligent. Section Chief Jiang should punish me.”

“Forget about it.” Jiang Yue Lou walked to the table and checked the broken phone line, “This place seems to have been in business for a long time. They probably receive a call which makes them ready to completely give up this place…” VSD5FW

He thought he would only catch the spies at the police station today but he didn’t expect he would catch a bigger fish. How deep did these poisonous roots have penetrated Jingcheng? He was no longer sure.

In the interrogation room, Li Sihai was tied to a chair, his nose was broken, his face was swollen, and his body was wounded.

Sun Yongren glanced at Li Sihai in annoyance, putting down the torture instrument, he looked at the table where Jiang Yue Lou was sitting and said in a low voice.

“Boss, what should we do? He’s not willing to confess.”

Jiang Yue Lou raised his gaze to look at Li Sihai, stood up, and walked over him. The expression on his face was indifferent and dangerous. He suddenly grabbed Li Sihai’s little finger and broke it fiercely. Li Sihai’s finger snapped at a strange angle. The painful cry resounded through the cell. ZpKGdL

“Every one minute, I will break your finger until you say something. Sun Yongren will time me.”

Li Sihai looked at Jiang Yue Lou’s cold face with shock and fear.

Sun Yongren tells the time, “One minute.”

Jiang Yue Lou snapped off the second finger easily as if it was just a small wooden stick. XUfWhc

Li Sihai screamed, his face turned pale, and there was sweat on his forehead.

Sun Yongren, “Two minutes…”

“Section Chief Jiang, please forgive me, forgive me!” Li Sihai begged with tears.

Jiang Yue Lou waved his hand and motioned to Sun Yongren to stop timing. qexMPd

“Say it, who is the person you contacted?”

Li Sihai struggled, he was about to talk but then he bit his lip. Sun Yongren couldn’t help but said, “Li Sihai, Li Sihai, we caught you already and you can’t run away, so why won’t you confess?!”

Li Sihai showed a tragic expression, “I won’t say anything, please just kill me.”

Jiang Yue Lou narrowed his eyes, “You are not a person who is afraid to die and you have been working hard for so many years… Could it be that they have your family in their hands?” tQCc2k

Li Sihai burst into tears, “I’m sorry, Section Chief Jiang, I’m not worthy of being a policeman.”

With a quick move of his jaw, blood gushed from his mouth, his head tilted to one side, and he was dead.

Jiang Yue Lou wanted to open Li Sihai’s mouth, but it was too late. He released his jaw, took out his handkerchief and wiped his fingers, turned around, and walked out. Sun Yongren looked at the corpse on the torture chair and sighed helplessly.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Is there a spy in the city government?”

“Yes.” Jiang Yue Lou stood in front of Bai Jinbo with a serious expression. xSUw5P

“Although Li Sihai refused to stay anything until his death, I went through his last phone call, and found out that it was transferred through the switchboard near Huannan Road.”

Bai Jinbo held his forehead and frowned, “The switchboard on Huannan Road is used exclusively by the government.”

“I know.”

“At what time exactly, this call was made?” 7Uyhtp

“This afternoon, between 2 pm to 2:05 pm.”

Bai Jinbo nodded, “Understood. I will arrange for someone to check it out. You don’t need to take care of this anymore.”

“Too late.” Jiang Yue Lou didn’t change his tone, “I already asked someone to check it, and I will receive the information soon.”

Bai Jinbo frowned and looked unhappy, ‘Yue Lou, there are rules.” dnU9OF

Song Rong’s voice came from outside the door, “Here to report…”

Bai Jinbo glared at Jiang Yue Lou, “Come in!”

Song Rong strode in.

“Director, Section chief, you should check this. From 2 pm to 2:05 pm, the government operator transferred a total of two calls. One was from the Director Li of the Finance Department who was looking for Director Xia. The other call was for Wu Shu, a member of the committee.” t7plxS

The three words “Committee Member Wu” surprised Bai Jinbo but Jiang Yue Lou quickly stood up.

“Stop right there!” Bai Jinbo stopped Jiang Yue Lou “Yue Lou, you have to understand that not everything is just black and white.”

Jiang Yue Lou straightened his chest and fixedly looked at Bai Jinbo, “That’s not what you taught me before.”

“Today is not what it used to be, times have changed.” rYtQ52

“The sky is still the same, the earth is still round, and there is still black and white.”

Bai Jinbo suddenly got up, slightly anxious, “Yue Lou! Listen to me, Wu Shu can’t be taken away even if you want to. He has a special relationship with the people in the cabinet government! You arrest him and Mayor Cai will come after you. And there is more. His son, Wu Bangchen, is a well-known figure serving under General Li’s army. The group of warlords is not easily provoked. If something goes bad, you’ll be destroyed! Do you understand?!”

Jiang Yue Lou’s expression did not waver at all, “I understand.”

“But you still want to catch him?” 8XkGsK

“Yes.”

Jiang Yue Lou was adopted by Bai Jinbo when he was a teenager, and he was the one who brought him into the policy sphere. The two shared the affection of a father and a son, the friendship of a master and an apprentice. Bai Jinbo was well aware of Jiang Yue Lou’s temperament.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Bai Jinbo sighed heavily, before sitting down, “If you want to do it, just go. Besides, I can’t stop you whenever you decide to do something.”

“Teacher, I know you are good to me.” Jiang Yue Lou said, “Don’t worry, I will bear all the consequences, and I will never involve others!” 1p8dsI

After speaking, he strode out. Bai Jinbo looked at his back and let out a long sigh.

In the office building, only a few offices were still lit at night. Jiang Yue Lou’s car drove into the courtyard quickly and suddenly stopped in front of the building’s entrance, making a sharp brake sound. Jiang Yue Lou opened the car door and rushed in with Sun Yongren, Song Rong, and others.

The patrol on guard hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, “Stop! What are you doing?”

Jiang Yue Lou pushed the guard away, and Sun Yongren behind him waved his hand, and all the officers with him pulled out their guns. The guard was shocked and yelled anxiously, “Someone broke into the building! Call the security!”

Jiang Yue Lou ignored him and strode ahead. He could see Wu Shuwei’s office on the third floor, as the light was still on. z6L9Oa

Rushing to the door, Song Rong and Sun Yongren stood with their guns ready. Song Rong knocked on the door.

“This is the Police Department Anti-Smuggling Section, open the door!!”

No one responded. Jiang Yue Lou raised his foot, kicked the door open, and rushed in first. The situation in the office immediately caught his eye, leaving him stunned. Wu Shuwei’s body was leaning on the desk, his eyes were wide open and blood was dripping down the corner of his mouth, spreading all over the desk.

Jiang Yue Lou went closer and felt Wu Shuwei’s pulse. QdiIM0

“He is dead.”

“Dead?” Sun Yongren and Song Rong looked at each other. Jiang Yue Lou’s gaze turned to the steaming teacup on the table.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Go and call Chen Yu Zhi.”

Translator's Note

(知己) to know oneself; to be intimate or close; intimate friend, soulmate, confidant, “the one who knows me”.TN: For those who know the drama “The Untamed”, when Lan Zhan asked Wei Ying what he is to him, Wei Ying replied that he had taken him as his Zhi Ji, his whole-life confidant!!! (If someone is interested, it’s in Episode 25, timecode 17’50’’)So here in that chapter, Jiang Yue Lou is having the same feelings for Chen Yu Zhi!!!

Chinese idiom which could be translated as a narrow escape; new lease of life.
