The first time they met, Xu Luotao remembered it clearly. It was outside that small, elegant café. After hurriedly cutting through the mountain of affairs his younger brother Xu Luqing had left behind in Hong Kong, Xu Luotao dismissed his subordinates and drove aimlessly around on his own. It was not yet dark, sometime after five in the afternoon. The sun was loudly announcing that it was heading west, yet seemed reluctant to leave. Hong Kong's famous night lights had not come on yet, and the streets…-

“Hold on to it carefully, all right?” When He Dongfang handed Fei Huan the item, her face wore the mischievous expression of a child up to no good. But Fei Huan knew exactly how much this thing was worth. The formula for Dongtang’s drugs. How many lives had this thing claimed, and how many families had it destroyed? How many people had lost everything fighting to possess it? Looking at He Dongfang’s gentle smile, Fei Huan found it hard to believe that she had developed it herself. “What’s…

As expected, He Dongfang hurried over from the villa in the suburbs. The moment she saw the swelling and redness on Fei Huan’s face, she immediately made to storm off and confront He Donghua. Although she was He Donghua’s younger sister, He Dongfang was very young. Officially, she was the beloved daughter He Donghua’s father had fathered with his junior concubine at the age of seventy-seven. He Dongfang was not exactly beautiful, but she had fair skin and delicate features. Having grown up in a…

The next day, Fei Huan was sent back to He Donghua. The Dongtang headquarters was not particularly grand, but it had a strong air of antiquity. Walking in made one think of ancient Korean warriors dressed in robes and wielding Goryeo swords. He Donghua sat solemnly in the seat of honor, coldly staring at Fei Huan, who was bound hand and foot. Xu Luotao and Tan Feng sat leisurely to one side, watching lazily to see how He Donghua would give them an explanation. His future brother-in-law had damaged the…

He Donghua picked up the microphone from the podium and cleared his throat twice, drawing everyone’s attention in the hall. All the voices died down as they waited to hear what the host of the banquet had to announce. “Friends and relatives, thank you all for coming to celebrate my father’s hundredth birthday. Today is a wonderful day, and I’m absolutely delighted!” He Donghua’s face was wreathed in smiles. Though he was already nearing fifty, he had taken excellent care of himself. He was…

Today was a good day. The father of the head of the underworld organization “Dongtang” was celebrating his hundredth birthday. “Dongtang” had originally been no more than a small Asian gang, but it had grown rapidly over the past two years and was already beginning to emerge among the major drug dealers. Tan Feng received an invitation to the banquet and tactfully suggested that Xu Luotao attend, if he was not too busy. Tan Feng’s opinions were always taken seriously. Thus, as the boss of…

Fei Huan stood smiling at the cinema entrance, holding an unmistakable token of affection, a movie ticket. It was not time to go in yet, so he stood idly by the entrance. Among the countless couples passing by, there were always a few girls who secretly glanced at him from the corners of their eyes. Confident in his looks, Fei Huan usually gave girls like that a roguish smile. It was purely to satisfy his own mean little streak. As he waited, he remembered the amusing interlude from noon. ... “When I go…

What did it really feel like to fall in love with someone? It shouldn’t leave you this lost, this anxious about gain and loss... If only I had the courage, I could break free of Xu Luotao completely in this very moment. Leaning against the inner wall of the rarely visited records room, Fei Huan glared at the phone that kept ringing with its pleasant chime, his eyes bright enough to sting. A familiar number flashed across the LCD screen. The moment he saw it, he could almost smell the faint scent of smoke…

Who was he? Who exactly was this obscure man who had suddenly become famous throughout the city? And who was it that had spent so much manpower and money to find him? The massive search proceeded under Xu Luotao’s dark gaze. Fei Huan’s photograph appeared on the front page of the newspapers. People hurrying through the city, from every walk of life, might be stopped by two or three men in suits, handed a blurry photograph, and questioned about whether they had seen the person in it. In the photograph,…

Silence spread... Fei Huan lowered his head and gave a helpless, bitter smile. “Xu Luotao miscalculated. What an idiot!” Fei Huan muttered two curses, gritted his teeth, then abruptly raised his head to look at Peilade, his voice ringing with resolve: “Do it!” The calm words struck Peilade’s ears like a thunderclap from a clear sky. Peilade’s pupils contracted instantly. His lips trembled as he pleaded, “Come with me, Fei Huan. Just nod, and forget Xu Luotao.” Fei Huan remained unmoved. He…

With Fei Huan’s proud personality, being stripped naked and half-suspended from the bed was absolutely not a pleasant experience. However, Peilade had already devoured him from head to toe, inside and out. Faced with such a humiliating position, Fei Huan no longer showed the anger and struggle that would have pleased Peilade. Now, with both hands raised high, Fei Huan lazily sized up the Peilade before him, as if the person being admired for lying there completely naked was not him, but Peilade, who…
