The Devil’s love

"Age is just a number and not a reason to hide the whole slacking and living off his father's money. It's not that he has some physical problem or anything like that. He is perfectly fine and yet leeching off his father's money, " Yichan retorted.

Squeezing his lips, Ning chuckled, "I don't know if this will make you feel better or awful but I just heard that he pays his own bills and works for an online software company. I mean isn't that great? Honestly, I never expected that but I also feel like he is too young for that." ​​

Scrunching his brows, he inquired, "He works? But he is just eighteen—" When Ning smiled, he quickly rephrased his sentence. "I mean that is nice because he is learning how to work hard at such a young age, it's good for him. At least he will grow up to become a responsible man unlike his father."

Giving him a peck on his lips, she asked, "Hmmm let's not talk about that for now and tell me, what do you want to have for dinner? As a reward for being a good boy and solving a dispute, your wife will reward you with good food today."

"You wanna go out for dinner today? Brother Bojin had called and he told me that sister Suyan isn't feeling well these days so he wants to take her out. He wanted to invite us too because he thinks sister Suyan will feel better if you are there," he explained.

"What happened to sister Suyan? I haven't met or talked to her for days," she frowned.

Not wanting her to panic, he quickly added, "There is nothing to worry about honey, it's nothing serious. Maybe sister-in-law needs to go out for some time to feel better."

"We had a shopping plan but we had to drop it because many things happened, do you think we should plan that out again?" She asked to which Yichan happily agreed.

"Of course you should, it's been quite sometime since you went shopping with your friends, you should definitely go and take sister Suyan with you too."

Pulling away, she nodded her head, "Hmm, let's go for dinner with them, I also want to meet sister Suyan."

Walking towards the wardrobe, she added, "I'll ask aunt Lin to make dinner for them."

….

Someone in the countryside.

With his hands tied to his back and blood dripping off his head, Darwin groaned in pain. The last thing he remembered was getting caught by a few people and then everything was blur.

Slowly opening his eyes, he looked around but all he could see was darkness.

Grunting and panting, he tried to free his hand but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't.

Just then someone opened the door and entered the room.

The sudden bright light almost blinded him and he squeezed his eyes shut.

"Tch tch look at you looking all weak and vulnerable," the man mocking said before sitting right in front of him.

"So tell me Darwin, how does it feel being trapped like this?" Without waiting for his reply, he continued, "After running for so many years, I think it feels great to stay in one place right?"

Slowly opening his eyes, Darwin frowned, "Who are you?"

Crossing his leg over the other, the man smirked, "You don't have to know that but you can call me W."

Gritting his teeth, Darwin grunted, "Who are you and what do you want?"

"What I wanted from you is already in the country so currently nothing." Inching closer, he added, "But that is not the only thing I want from you Darwin."

Pulling away, he chuckled, "Isn't this fun? You are here chatting with me here and your other two friends are also there in the same place probably plotting how to get you out of here."

"No one is going to come, you can just dream on getting anything out of me and—"

Cutting him off, he laughed hysterically, "Oh no dear Darwin, I am not going to force anything out of you and trust me, someone is going to get you out of here and guess what—" Giving him a creepy smile, he chuckled, "I want them to get to you, I want them to rescue you and I want them to come here together."

Throwing his head back, he chuckled, "Ahh this is so funny, you helped me lure Mo Yihong back to the country and now I will use you to lure both of them here."

"You are never gonna get anything out of me or them, I would rather die than tell you anything," Darwin gritted his teeth, he had to quickly find a way to get out of here before Weilong and Yihong made any kind of plan to rescue him and fall for the trap.

"Tsk tsk, you are one loyal dog and I can see why you are so loyal to them. I mean the moment you disappear and your friend receives an email from an anonymous source, he comes running back to his roots. That is so impressive, I am sure that you are very proud of your friend and also feeling very special," he chuckled.

Stretching his legs to the front, he placed them on Darwin's lap and helplessly shook his head. "But too bad that loyal friends are gonna pay a price for this loyalty and I'll make sure that they do."

Pausing for a while, he added, "And don't worry, I won't let you suffer alone. I mean you three are in this together."

"That is all in the past now and I don't even know you, you were not even involved so why are you doing this?" Darwin snapped. The man calling himself 'W' was a young man who seemed to be in his early twenties but the way he could relate things, Darwin was sure that he knew everything and was surely working for someone else who was directly involved in the mess.
