"It's not work suggesting. It's work threatening."

It was midday.

Jin Fu stood leaning his back on a pillar of a building. His eyes watched men and women wearing office uniforms pass before him.

Seeing them, the guy's face became dry. He sighed.

Later, a younger woman appeared at the glass door of the building. She dressed in office-clothes. She raised her hand at Jin Fu and walked to him with a smile.

"Wait for me long?" Lady said when she reached him.

"No. I just arrived." Jin Fu shook head.

"Let's go."

"Um."

Jin Fu smiled and held her hand, then the two left the building.

It was Qing Qing, girlfriend of Jin Fu. She worked in a real estate company. Jin Fu usually came to have lunch with her because his stay waa close to her office. In general, she was the payer. He and her have been in a relationship for two years and a half.

The girl liked to call her boyfriend to have lunch with her. She did not want Jin Fu to stay in his mouse-room, before the computer, all time. She wanted him to get out. She wanted to make him fresh. At least, she wanted him to meet her.

Qing Qing was a modern girl. She was open-woman. She didn't mind paying for meals or anything when they were out.

The one who thought was Jin Fu. Dude felt not comfortable when he went out to eat with girlfriend and she paid for him. He knew Qing Qing did not care, but he did not jolly.

Qing Qing's parents knew about their relationship and wanted to meet their daughter's boyfriend. So, mother told Qing Qing to bring Jin Fu to meet them at her father birthday's party. At the event, her brother and sister woukd take their mates to attend too.

Jin Fu felt not happy to be informed. Qing Qing Brother's and sister's mates were well, but he was poor. Therefore, he wanted to buy an expensive gift with his own money – not from Qing Qing – to give honor to her among relatives, but his plan seemed to vanish. Birthday's date was this weekend. The man thought he was unable to get money on time.

Stress made Jin Fu lose appetite. He held chopsticks between his fingers. He eyed the food, but it did not stay in his vision. His mind was like clouds flying in the sky, no destination, no park.

Qing Qing saw boyfriend's behavior, and she was concerned.

"Are you not well?"

Jin Fu woke up from thinking, "I..I'm fine."

"You don't eat."

"I'm.. I'm not hungry."

"You are strange today. What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I'm.. just..tired."

"Don't work too hard," Qing Qing said. She caught meat to put in his bowl. "Take care of your health. Though you aren't hungry, you should eat or you will hurt your stomach."

Jin Fu smiled then he brought the meat into his mouth. He forced his teeth to chew it.

"Ugh..." He sighed.

Though the blow was not strong, Qing Qing noticed it. Woman did not mention. She keot quiet until their lunch was finished.

"Bill please," Qing Qing called.

"Yes," the waiter stated.

While waiting, Jin Fu peep at his girlfriend. He felt his tongue was frozen. He felt something heavy on his mind. He tookna glass to drink water. And he sighed again.

"What's wrong with you?" Qing Qing knotted her eyebrows. "Today you sigh a lot."

"Well." Jin Fu scratched his head. He felt it was difficult to speak. "I…"

"What's the matter? Say it."

Jin Fu looked at his woman.

Qing Qing glared at boyfriend, she was waiting for his words.

He took a deep breath; he tried to collect his courage before he talked to his girlfriend, "I..can..not go.. to.. your.. father's.. birthday."

Girl did not state anything. She eyed the man.

The guy knew she was angry. He knew she was waiting for his explanation, but he didn't know how to explain.

Male waiter brought the bill. Qing Qing pulled money from purse to pay, then she left immediately.

"Qing Qing, listen to me." Jin Fu ran after. He tried to catch her hand, but she rejected.

"I don't want to listen to you," Qing Qing yelled. "You don't go because you don't want to or you don't dare?"

"I.. I have.. work to.. do," Jin Fu said.

"You lie." Qing Qing stopped her feet. She turned to look straight at her man, "You don't want to meet my parents because you are afraid you will make me lose face. I have told you many times. I don't care about this. And I told my parents already. They don't mind."

"But I mind," Jin Fu stated. "I am a man. I have to give my girlfriend honor. But look at me. I have nothing. It is dignity. Dignity of a man. People will laugh at me when they know I cannot even give gifts to the parents of my girlfriend. I cannot do that anymore."

"Why do you care? They want to say, let them say."

"You don't care because you are not me. You are a woman. You don't understand man."

"If you don't go, don't come to see me."

After claiming, Qing Qing wanders off quickly with an angry face.

"Qing Qing."

Jin Fu shook hands in the air. He was about to go after his girlfriend, but suddenly two men captured his arms.

"Who are you?"

The men did not answer. They dragged him into a van that was waiting on the street.

In the vehicle, Jin Fu sat silently. He was blank related to what is happening. The vehicle drove along the street. Jin Fu tried to get where they are taking him to. He noticed the van was driving towards the peak. Later, it arrived at a big house that Jin Fu was not familiar with.

After the car was stopped, Jin Fu was dragged into the house; he was forced to sit on the sofa in the living room.

Before him was the gang boss from last night. He sat cross-legged with eyes glare at the young male. Behind the seat of the boss of the gang, Black Centipede was standing; his eyes also stare at the vlogger.

Young guy looked around. He saw many men. They were having hard faces and seemed to warn him 'don't try to escape'.

"Why you catch me here?" Jin Fu said.

"You said you are an animation maker," He Hua spoke.

"Yes." Jin Fu nodded.

A guy handed He Hua a tablet. The boss put the device on his thigh then he slid his finger on screen, "You have a channel."

Jin Fu stayed silent.

He Hua nodded head, "Quite good, but poor view." Then he gave the tablet back to the guy and looked straight at Jin Fu, "I have heard you studied IT. I have a work suggestion for you."

"What is it?"

"I want you to hack information for me."

"I don't know how to hack." Jin Fu shook head.

"Don't lie. I have checked. You know how to hack and good skill too."

Jin Fu looked at the gang's boss, "Even though I do know, but I don't do. It is illegal."

"You cannot say no."

"It's not work suggesting. It's work threatening."

"Right." He Hua expandrd his lips. "Because no one can deny my suggestion."

The speech of the gang director was like a cold wind made Jin Fu feel a slight chill.

"Don't worry. I don't make you work for nothing. I will give you 1,000 when you finish your work," He Hua says.

"If I fail..." Jin Fu muttered.

"No word FAIL," He Hua stressed. "And no word if too."

This sentence was colder.

"I will do it for you tomorrow," Jin Fu stated.

"Now," He Hua claimed.

"Huh?" Jin Fu opened eyes.. 'Is he kidding me?'

Suddenly, two men approached him. One man reached his arm for Jin Fu's shoulder, while another man placed a laptop on the table before him. On the screen, it showed one website.

He Hua called, "Collect all the information for me. You have 15 minutes."

"What!!!" Jin Fu opened eyes. "It's fast."

"14 minutes and 59 seconds," Black Centipede looked at his watch and his lips counted.

Jin Fu was feeling the knife point is pointing at his throat. In this situation, he had no ability to struggle. Young male hurriedly grabbed the laptop and began the chore.

Time was announced at each minute.

"13 minutes and 59 seconds."

Counting voices put pressure on the hacker. The young man had to force himself to rush his fingers. In his head repeat words of the boss of the gang, "no fail."

While the man was working, He Hua took a wine glass from the table to hold in his hand then he relaxed his back on the backrest of the sofa. The head of the gang showrd carefree. He enjoyed wine from glass.

"5 minutes and 59 seconds."

Dead time was closer.

Jin Fu rushed his fingers on the keyboard.

"1 minutes and 59 seconds," Black Centipede called.

"Finish," Jin Fu declared.

A man came to take the laptop then gave to Black Centipede. The confidant checked then he told his boss, "Boss, it's done."

He Hua nodded head. He smiled his lips, "Good. Take your award."

After the statement, Black Centipede handed Jin Fu a cheque.

Young man expanded arm to receive it though he did not want to. After, he was dragged up from the sofa then was pushed out of the house.

Jin Fu stood on the street. He spun face to look at the villa behind him. He shook head, "Crazy."

The dude looked right and left. The street was quiet; it looked like he cannot find any transport here; hence, he wandered down hill.
