On that night, the tea was consumed until after three in the morning. Although Fei Hu claimed he had no intention of joining the Dragon Tiger Gang, he had already reached an understanding with Ye Cheng: the two would work together to oppose Ye Wu.
Yingzi dropped him off at the entrance of his rental apartment complex and then left with Ye Cheng to return to the villa. Fei Hu hurried up the stairs, and just as he was about to take out his keys to open the door, he suddenly remembered Alice in the apartment across from him. This opportunity couldn't be missed; his visits were becoming fewer and farther between, and whenever he came, he should make the most of it. Ultimately, Fei Hu could not resist Alice's overwhelming temptation. He took out his phone and dialed her number. Hey! She didn’t pick up.
After trying four or five times, whether Alice couldn’t hear or was simply sleeping too soundly, she just wouldn’t answer. Fei Hu gritted his teeth and thought, one more call; if she doesn’t pick up, I’ll just sleep alone again. It’s not like I haven’t done that before. Just as he pressed the button, the call connected. Fei Hu cursed under his breath; this woman really knew how to test a person's patience.
“What do you want? Why are you calling me at this hour?” Alice's lazy voice came through the phone, clearly indicating she had just woken up.
Fei Hu coldly replied, “I’m right outside your door; do what you want!” After saying that, he hung up.
With a creak, Alice's door opened a crack, and Fei Hu felt a surge of joy as he dashed inside. Once inside, Alice closed the door behind him. Turning around, Fei Hu's heart raced as he saw Alice wrapped only in a towel, her body exposed, especially her two full curves boldly nodding at him. This woman really liked to sleep naked! With that thought in mind, Fei Hu pounced on her like a tiger.
In the limited time they had, the two of them indulged until dawn. Only then did Fei Hu fall asleep contentedly, with Alice beside him, who also decided to skip work that day. They slept until noon; if it weren't for their growling stomachs, they might have continued sleeping.
For lunch, Alice prepared an extravagant meal for Fei Hu—chicken, duck, fish, and meat—all were present. She even set aside a large plate of beef for him, making him eat one less bowl of rice. Who wouldn’t want such a life? So whenever Fei Hu arrived at Alice's place, he found it hard to leave. He finally understood why many capable men chose to become kept men for wealthy women; a quality life had an irresistible allure.
After lunch, Alice snuggled against Fei Hu's chest and softly said, “Let’s not go anywhere today; let’s stay home and enjoy this wonderful time together. What do you think?”
Fei Hu gently stroked Alice's silky hair and smiled as he replied, “Born in hardship and perishing in comfort; you’ll ruin me like this. When I come here, I really don’t want to leave anymore. Honestly, I wish we could stay like this forever, but that’s impossible. You and I are parallel lines; only by keeping it this way can we coexist peacefully.” In that moment, Fei Hu seemed much more mature as if he had grasped the essence of life.
Alice straightened up and looked at him with a smile. “You’re quite clever; that’s why you’re different from others. Do you know how many people ruin their lives in comfort? When danger strikes, they realize it’s too late. They know some things shouldn’t be done but choose to go against their better judgment for temporary ease and end up suffering terribly. Don’t worry; our relationship is free—you can come anytime or leave anytime. If you come, I’m happy; if you leave, I won’t be sad—that’s the life I pursue.”
Hearing Alice say this made Fei Hu excitedly embrace her and kiss her.
In Ye Wu's living room, three tables were set up with an abundance of dishes laid out. A group of young people of varying ages and odd attire—most with dyed yellow hair—were playing games and having a great time.
At the table at the front, Ye Wu, Little Four, and Abiao were seated, and even someone like the mouse took advantage of Little Four's presence to join the table and busily pour drinks for everyone. Watching everyone in high spirits, Ye Wu had several words on the tip of his tongue but swallowed them back down.
Hosting a gathering at his home was unprecedented, so those sitting next to Ye Wu, including Little Four, were not fools; they understood that Ye Wu was trying to win people's hearts and that there would surely be some tough challenges awaiting them.
“Brother Tiger, we've had enough to drink. If you have something to say, please share it with everyone! Those who came to your home today were carefully selected by me and Abiao. They are capable and loyal brothers of yours, so these people are absolutely reliable,” Little Four said, his eyes shining brightly as he felt proud to be at the same table as the boss in front of so many brothers.
Ye Wu nodded and smiled as he stood up.
“Brothers, I, Ye Wu, have seldom entertained you all. Here, I want to express my humility. From today onward, we will work together, sharing meat and soup, not neglecting anyone who has contributed to us. So first, let’s drink well and eat well; that will make me happy,” Ye Wu said, bowing deeply with a fist salute. Upon seeing this, everyone cheered loudly.
Abiao glanced at Little Four and whispered, “Brother Tiger, are we going into action tomorrow? If so, just let us know! We might as well eat and drink while we discuss our plans.”
“No, wait until you’re all full before we discuss serious matters. This time we can only succeed; failure is not an option,” Ye Wu said with a serious expression.
The clever Little Four quickly suggested, “Brother Tiger, since we’ve all eaten and drunk enough, why don’t we move to the back room to discuss serious matters?” Abiao looked at Little Four and nodded in agreement. Ye Wu smiled slightly and waved his hand, leading everyone from the table back to his study.
Once the door was closed, Ye Wu's expression changed dramatically as he sternly said, “A small security guard like Fei Hu has caused us quite a disturbance. Listen up; starting tomorrow, everyone needs to be alert. Find out where this kid is active and send more people wherever he appears. We need to drive him out of A City all at once—preferably injuring him but not killing him; then we won’t have anything to fear.”
Upon hearing this, Little Four's face lit up with joy as he quickly replied, “Brother Tiger, your plan is very feasible. As soon as he shows up, we’ll discreetly follow him to figure out his residence and activity spots. Then we’ll act together so he has nowhere to escape. It will be difficult for him to stay in A City; once we engage him, we’ll go all out. This time I must avenge last time’s grudge; even if this kid has nine lives, he won’t escape this time.”
Abiao didn’t speak but tightly clenched his fists in excitement.
As dusk gradually fell, Fei Hu reluctantly bid farewell to Alice. He planned to visit New Joy World, wanting to convey a few words to Bald Zhang. He was still somewhat uneasy since Little Four and the others had been discharged from the hospital; he worried they might bring trouble again. If things went wrong this time, it could lead to a major incident—not just a simple fight like last time.
Once outside the community, Fei Hu hailed a taxi. With plenty of money on him now, it didn’t take long for him to arrive at New Joy World. As soon as he got upstairs, Bald Zhang came out to greet him and insisted on having a couple of drinks. However, Fei Hu waved his hand and explained his purpose for being there to Bald Zhang.
"Hey! Boss, you have no idea, during this time, Brothers are on high alert. Everyone understands what happened last time. If they don't go out and cause trouble here, we will be in a very passive position, just waiting to be beaten. So such opportunities don't come by often. I know what to do, but you need to be careful. Running around alone could get you into big trouble with them," Bald Zhang said with a concerned expression.
Fei Hu patted Bald Zhang on the shoulder, and the two talked for a while before leaving New Joy World. They took a taxi straight to the glove factory. All the way there, he felt uneasy and a bit anxious. Could something have happened at the glove factory again? Fei Hu urged the driver several times.
As soon as he got out of the car, Fei Hu hurried inside. Everything was as usual; the machines in the factory were clattering away, and the lights in the office were still on. When he pushed open the door, he saw A-Lian as usual. She was calculating something while glancing up at Fei Hu, smiling and saying, "You must be the busiest person on Earth right now. You left under the stars last night and returned under the moon tonight. One word: busy."
Fei Hu smiled and sat down across from her, softly asking, "Nothing's wrong at the factory, right?"
"At the factory? No, but this afternoon, Xiao Qi went back home. We got a call saying there was some Major Incident. Ever since she left, I've been swamped. Listen carefully; starting tomorrow, no more running around. Help me with work properly. When Xiao Qi comes back, you can go out and have fun," A-Lian said, making a funny face at Fei Hu.
Only then did Fei Hu's anxious heart slowly calm down. He quietly asked, "What benefits do I get from helping you? If there's no benefit, I'm not doing it." He couldn't help but chuckle.
"Are you kidding? What benefits do you want? Don't forget you're an employee of our glove factory now; it's your duty to work. But according to attendance, I'll pay you," A-Lian replied with a bright smile that nearly captivated Fei Hu.
Thinking about it, since Xiao Qi had gone back home, he had a chance tonight. So he mischievously smiled and asked, "Are you afraid at night?"
"Afraid of what?" A-Lian found it a bit puzzling.
Fei Hu lowered his voice and said, "Sleeping alone at night."
A-Lian's face turned slightly red as she gave Fei Hu a flirtatious glance.
