Inside the car, He Hua sat with the tablet on his lap. He smiled as his finger scrolled its screen.
"You're happy!" Jin Fu said.
"You aren't?" He Hua rose face to look at his worker. He noticed his face showing displeasure.
"I'm not," Jin Fu spoke honestly. He did not even look at his boss.
From the front seat, Black Centipede's eyes watched through the rear-view mirror. He felt the atmosphere in the back seat was not good.
"Why not?" He Hua asked.
"How do you suppose I was happy when I was tricked?" Jin Fu turned to face He Hua.
At once, the patron could feel why the young man was unhappy. Nonetheless he did not admit he tricked him, for he thought he was his boss, he could do anything he wanted to do.
The elder patron did not bother to give a response to his officer and he rotated his face to the tablet. His action made the younger male become more displeased.
"You tricked me to make an animation and put it in my channel. You ordered your people to view my video. I thought my work was recognized, but it is not. It's all your plan."
He Hua did not say any word.
"You don't feel you are to apologize?"
Black Centipede peeped from the rear-view mirror when he heard the question of the male staff.
"Apologize to who?" He Hua stated but his face and eyes kept on the tablet screen.
"To me," Jin Fu claimed.
"Why?"
"You made Bear Gang misunderstand that video was my intention. You gave me trouble. At least, you should say sorry."
"I paid you."
"Okay, it's my fault that I accepted your money without thinking, but I already told you to cut from my salary."
He Hue stayed silent while his eyes were still on the screen, and Black Centipede still followed up through the mirror.
"You don't even think about my safety.. if they come to me.. I'm fine.. but I don't want people around me to get hurt. Wen Yi, grandma. Why do you do that?"
Jin Fu became furious. He was really mad.
"I help you with your work, but you do this to me," Jin Fu says. "Do you ever know the word HONEST? Friends should have honesty. Friends should not betray or trick friends."
"You are my worker," He Hua rose face. His voice pressed on each word and his eyes looked straight at the staff that was having a displeased expression.
The environment in the car was so tense.
Though Jin Fu did not escape eyes. He returned his look at the boss.
At first the young man showed a wild face, but when he heard his boss's sentence, especially his last words, his face revealed disappointment. He glanced at the director of the gang, he was mute for five seconds, then he uttered, "So you don't consider me as a friend?"
"You're not my friend. And don't ever expect that," He Hua claimed.
"I'm sorry, boss," Jin Fu stated. His voice was full of disappointment.
At that time, Black Centipede gazed at Jin Fu's face from the mirror.
"I forget that I am just a worker." Jin Fu paused for a second, then he took a breath and said, "If so, I want to clarify my position and my work. I am your staff, work as a hacker, right?"
"Data collector," He Hua said.
"Okay, I am a data collector. So, my duty is to collect information about your enemy for you."
"Uh huh," He Hua returned his eyes to the tablet.
"What about my working time?"
"8am to 6pm."
"Day?"
"Monday to Saturday."
"Okay. Got it. I am a data collector, working from Monday to Saturday, 8 to 6. Hence, I am not a bodyguard," Jin Fu looked at his watch, "and now it is 9pm. Driver, please drop me."
The man who was holding the steering wheel looked at Black Centipedes. In this vehicle, there were only two people that were able to call the car to stop, one was He Hua and another one was Black Centipede. If none of them did not say, the car would move forever.
"Driver, drop me," Jin Fu re-spoke.
The chauffeur looked at Black Centipede again.
In this situation, Black Centipede could not permit too. He could say instead of He Hua everything, except Jin Fu's matter. This guy couldn't be touched if there was no comment from the boss.
"Hey, drop me," Jin Fu said a third time.
"Drop him," He Hua made a call.
Hearing the command of the big boss, the driver hit the signal light and slowed down before he turned the wheel to road pavement.
The cars that were running before and after, also slowed their speed.
As the car stopped, Jin Fu removed seat belt and opened the door - while He Hua was keeping eyes on his tablet and Black Centipede was receiving a call.
As the young man got off, the car moved forwards, leaving him alone on the street.
Through the mirror, Black Centipede reflected that the young hacker was taking off his black jacket and throwing it away.
As the calling was off, the confidant turned to the backseat then he informed his boss, "Boss, the club called that Wolf has a quarrel with a guest."
"Again?" He Hua cocked his head. "Go to the club then."
Black Centipede nodded. Afterwards, he called the driver, "Go to the club."
"Yes, Bro."
*****
Along the street, Jin Fu was wandering with his mind empty. His head was blank too. He had nowhere to go and he had no idea of where to go.
The night was cool, but his mind was hot.
There were lights, but he did not feel it could brighten his mind.
The guy took long breaths several times. He felt he wanted somewhere to park. He did not want to go back to the hotel. His mind wanted to go to Wen Yi, but because he did not want to bother him and his grandma, he decided to find somewhere else to stay for tonight.
He did not bring much money with, hence he couldn't rent any room to stay.
Young chap blew wind from his mouth.
'Where should I go?'
He slowed down his feet then put his hand into pocket.
Cling.
His fingers touched something inside. Jin Fu took that thing out. It was a key, his house-key.
Then Jin Fu remembered. It's been many days since he left the house. He never visited it. Perhaps it was full of dirt.
'It is better than sleeping on the street.'
After that, Jin Fu walked towards his house.
He climbed the foot-stair then he arrived before his home-door.
Jin Fu touched the lock. He felt a little bit awkward. The lock was so clean and it worked well. Just one click, it opened.
As he got inside his room and switched on the light, he opened his eyes with surprise. The room had nothing changed, but it was so clean.. not dirty and smelly like when he was living here.
Jin Fu touched the sofa with his finger. No dust.
He went into the bathroom. It was clean too.
The dude came out thinking, 'Looks like someone comes to clean my house.'
Immediately, his mind took in Qing Qing.
"It must be her."
It has been a few days he did not meet with her, even calling. Tonight, he should take a chance to see her, also to express his thanks for her care about him and his house.
No wait, Jin Fu left the house right away. He took his feet towards the girl's house. Before he went there, he went to a sweet store and bought two bowls of dessert.
When he reached under his woman's homestead, he made a call.
"Hello Qing Qing."
"Hello," voice of Qing Qing on the phone.
"Are you sleeping?"
"Not yet."
"I bought dessert for you. Come to eat."
"At this hour?"
"Yes. I will wait for you in the park."
"Okay."
About five minutes, the girl reached the dating place.
"Why do you come so late?" She asked.
"Just free," Jin Fu responded.
"Much work?"
"Yeah."
The man and woman sat on the chair and enjoyed the sweet.
Jin Fu raised a bowl to his mouth to finish the juice of the dessert.
"You eat like a kid." Qing Qing wiped her boyfriend's mouth with tissue.
"Thanks." Jin Fu smiled. "You finished?"
"Yes."
"Give me the bowl."
Qing Qing handed the plastic bowl to her man and the guy put it into the plastic bag together with his bowl and tissue and carried the bag to throw into the bin. After that, he came back to sit next to his girlfriend.
In the sky, before them, the moon was showing its piece.
Qing Qing leaned head on the man's shoulder, and the two viewed the moon together.
"Thanks for cleaning my house," Jin Fu said.
Qing Qing rose head and narrowed her eyes, "Cleaning?"
"Yes. I just came from my house and it is clean. I bet it is you."
"No." Qing Qing shook head. "I don't have a key to your house."
"Huh?" Jin Fu opened eyes. Then he remembered it was correct - since they are in a relationship, he did not give home-keys to her.
Seeing Qing Qing watching him with a quiz look, Jin Fu hurriedly corrected his mistake.
"Sorry, I'm confused. I do a lot of work. It makes my brain error," he said.
Lassie smiled then she returned her head to lean on him.
'If not Qing Qing, who is it?' Jin Fu doubted in his mind.
'Perhaps it's Wen Yi.' He thought.
Well, it should be him because he was the only person who has his home-key. But he was in hospital taking care of grandma, how could he go to clean his house?
Jin Fu waved his head and returned to maintain feeling on him and his woman.
After one hour, Jin Fu walked Qing Qing back home.
Along the way, they ambled with their hands holding.
"Why so quiet? Are you tired?" Qing Qing said.
"I'm fine," Jin Fu stated. "I just want to hold your hand like this."
"Haah, you're so sweet." Qing Qing smiled big.
The two continued walking about a few steps, then Qing Qing said, "I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Tomorrow, I will go to the US."
"Huh?"
Jin Fu was surprised to hear that. He stopped his feet and Qing Qing stopped hers too. They stood facing each other.
"I do not hear from you," Jin Fu uttered.
"I just knew," Qing Qing told. "I want to call you, but I think you are busy, and it is not a big thing so I plan to call you when I arrive there."
Jin Fu was not happy to hear her leaving.
"How long?" he asked.
"One month."
"Too long. You have to go?"
"I cannot deny. It is work. After this, I will be able to get promoted."
"You go alone?"
"I will go with my colleague."
"Man or woman?"
"Man."
"Only you and him?"
"Ha ha ha.. are you jealous?"
"How can I not be jealous? Also I fear. How can your company do this? Don't go."
"Come on. It is my work. Don't act like a kid. I must go."
Jin Fu exhaled. He knew that his woman was so committed to her job and he knew he cannot change her mind.
The guy held her hand and uttered, "Please take care."
"Yes, you too."
The two people smiled at each other before they moved on walking.
At last, they reached below the apartment where the girl and her family lived.
However, Jin Fu still held her hand.
"I go," Qing Qing said.
"Yes," Jin Fu nodded.
When Qing Qing released hand and walked off, suddenly, Jin Fu grabbed her hand, and when she turned her face, he pulled her to him, hugged her waist and put his mouth on hers.
At the moment, the wind was blowing caressing the loving birds.
In man's embraceQing Qing stayed still, allowing him to coax his lips over her lips. She was persuaded and then she applied her hands on his back and reacted her lips together with his.
About one minute, Jin Fu withdrew his lips from the girl and whined. Yet their heads touched each other.
"I will miss you," Jin Fu whispered.
"Me too," Qing Qing said.
Before he released hands from the body of the beloved, the young man gave a peck on her forehead.
"Bye." Qing Qing waved her hand.
"Bye." Jin Fu waved his hand in return, and he stood watching until she disappeared from his sights, then he left his feet.
When he was just off his girlfriend's house about two hundred meters away, a van drove at a fast speed coming to a stop before him. When the door car opened, about ten people jumped out; each of them held sticks and they targeted Jin Fu.
The man was like a bombshell, fortunately, his brain was quick; he suddenly ran back with fast speed.
