"So from now on, you are my companion".

Sunflower Gang men were in chaos. They tried to look to find the culprit but the sky was dark, they could not even find who the shooter was and where the bullet came from.

Meanwhile Black Centipede, and some men, ran to protect He Hua. When he reached, he found Jin Fu was unconscious and there was bleeding from his left chest. Quickly, he pulled Jin Fu's arm around his neck, raised his body from the ground, then carried him into the car.

He Hua didn't wait. He rushed into the car through another door to sit in the back seat. As Black Centipede dropped the body of the hacker on the back seat, he hurriedly made his shoulder for the unconscious guy to lean his head on.

After that, Black Centipede rushed to sit in the front seat and called, "Go to hospital, Hurry up."

The driving man pressed foot on gear to move wheels towards where the hospital was located, while the other men ran into the cars and followed behind.

In the vehicle, He Hua hugged Jin Fu with his mind so frightened and worried. He kept calling his name, "Jin Fu. Jin Fu."

Although, the young man did not reply. His eyes were closed and his breath seemed short.

This moment, He Hua felt scared. His eyes were full of worry and confusion and his mind was in disorder. He was so frightened that he might lose something, something that was very important. He put his right chin on Jin Fu's head, his hands embraced him, while his mind uttering, 'Please, stay safe.'

From the front seat, Black Centipede peeped through the rear-view mirror. He saw everything about his boss. Now, he was clear about Jin Fu's position inside the mind of his master.

About ten minutes later, they arrived at the hospital.

Jin Fu was sent to the emergency room.

While he was inside with the doctor and nurses, He Hua stood outside the room. His face did not show strong fear, but inside his mind, it was very complicated and full of fright.

All the time, Black Centipede stayed beside his boss. He did not speak, just stayed close to him.

CRACK.

Doctor came out and walked directly towards the boss of the gang who was waiting frustratingly for information.

"It is lucky. Gunpowder inside the bullet is half; furthermore, the victim has this protection." The doctor gave a phone, and the boss of the gang received and checked. It was the phone of Jin Fu. On it, there was a hole caused by gun shooting.

"It means he is fine, isn't it?" Black Centipede asked.

"He is not life threatening, but a bullet is sticking in his upper chest. It touches his vein, but it is not serious. We will remove the bullet then he will be okay," the doctor described.

He Hua nodded head after hearing the doctor's claim.

After giving first information, the doctor returned to the room to start the operation.

It's been more than one hour since He Hua waited for Jin Fu outside the room. Black Centipede and some followers stood by the boss, while some were protecting outside the hospital.

When the light of the operation room's door was on, the patron rushed towards the doctor.

"How is he?" He asked.

"We got the bullet from his chest successfully. He is safe now," the doctor told.

"If his wound is not serious, can he be taken to the house?" He Hua said.

"Sure." The doctor nodded.

When the doctor was off, He Hua turned to his confidant, "Black Centipede, take him to house."

Black Centipede narrowed his eyes, "Do you really want to take him home?"

"Sure. He is shot. If he stays in hospital, there will be police coming. If in a hotel, there are many guests. So, taking him to treat in house is safer. And keep him in my room."

This time He Hua did clearly; the right-hand-man could guess the upgrade-position of the hacker. It did not matter because he already expected that it was going to be like this, just it happened faster than he expected.

After getting command from the director, Black Centipede called two men to tell them, "You take your henchmen to prepare the room of boss for Jin Fu to treat in there and go to buy a lounge to put inside the room."

The followers opened their eyes.

"Buy the lounge? It is nearly 3am, I think the store is closed," one of them said.

"I don't care. In one hour, prepare what I told you." Black Centipede looked straight at their faces.

No second question, the followers rolled to organize their chores.

Not long after, the gang-boss saver was sent into an ambulance and escorted by a parade of black vehicles towards the villa that was located on the mountain. Then the hacker was carried to the room of the owner of the villa upstairs.

The whole time, the young guy slept unconsciously on white mattress and his hand was attached with an IV and a bottle of liquid which was hanging near the bed.

He Hua stood watching doctor and nurse organize home-treating for his life-saver without stepping away. He spotted a lounge inside his room on the right side of the bed near the wall.

Seeing it, the director knew immediately that it was organized by Black Centipede. His confidant realized that he would sleep in this room with his saver; he was worried that he had no place to sleep because his bed was used for Jin Fu's treatment, so he prepared this lounge for him.

Black Centipede also noticed that He Hua knew about the presence of the lounge. He did not say anything because the boss did not say anything either. Two of them knew in mind, no need to speak.

"Everything is fine now. I keep one nurse here, and tomorrow I will come to check," the doctor told.

"Thank you doctor," He Hua said.

Black Centipede walked the doctor to the gate, then he told his follower to prepare room for male-nurse to stay in the villa in order to take care of Jin Fu.

The confidant did not return to the room - because he wanted to give time to his boss.

Inside the bedroom, He Hua was watching his new staff that was sleeping. Face of the gang boss was full of sorrow. Image of this young guy running to stand before him, receiving a bullet instead of him, still remained in his eyes. He felt towards this youthful man. It was a very strong feeling that he never had for any man.

The boss walked slowly to the sleeping-man, then offered his hand to open his shirt. He scanned the wound wrap on chest of him. Seeing it made him think about all the incidents.

In one night, he almost lost him twice.

He Hua swore in his mind that he would not allow Jin Fu to meet the problem anymore.

The sky was still dark.

The villa of Sunflower Gang boss was full of guards. Gang men exchanged turns to protect the boss and his life saver.

Black Centipede did not sleep. He stayed with the followers inside the house. Once in a while, he strolled to check outside the house, in the yard, if any follower forgot their duty. Afterwards, he moved his steps upstairs and found Jin Fu still sleeping and He Hua sleeping in the lounge. The man also noticed his boss did not change dress.

Silently, the male confidant slid into the bedroom. He covered the blanket on his boss before he pulled the blanket to cover till Jin Fu's neck.

Before leaving, he watched the two guys for a few seconds.

*****

Jin Fu echoed inside his throat, "Hmm…"

He opened eyes slowly and saw things in the fog.

"Am I dead?" He murmured.

Then the face of someone appeared before his peepers. He tried to recognize but that face was unclear, it shook and was in mist.

Jin Fu blinked his eyes several times and scanned them. He sometimes saw a woman and sometimes a man.

"Qing Qing," he uttered when he saw the face before him was a woman's.

Then it changed to a man's face.

Jin Fu inspected that face. It looked like the face of a person he was familiar with.

The man took a look and murmured before he closed his eyes, "Hua."

In his sleep, he seemed to hear people talking.

"Is he fine, Doctor?"

"Don't worry, Mr. He. He is fine. He just loses energy. He will recover soon."

*****

Three days later, Jin Fu was getting well. He could sit and he could eat. IV and liquid bottles were removed and the man could get off the bed.

In the evening, he sat on a chair on the balcony of the villa looking eyes far away. However, his face was still pale.

"You are not 100 percent well. You should not get wind."

Jin Fu turned to the owner of the speech. It was He Hua, escorted by Black Centipede, and another man; he was a cook, Jin Fu remembered him.

The boss applied his butt on the opposite chair.

Later, the cook placed a plate on the table, in front of the guy.

Jin Fu looked at the plate and uttered, "Eat again?"

"You need to eat to get energy. You lost blood," He Hua claimed.

Jin Fu exhaled, "Steak everyday..."

"Today is not beef. It's chicken," Black Centipede said.

"Oh," Jin Fu muttered, then he raised body to be closer to the table. The young man inspected the fork next to the plate.

"I told the cook to cut it into pieces for you already," He Hua explained.

"Oh." Jin Fu nodded. Now, he understood why he was given only a fork. The younger male put one piece into mouth then said to his boss, "You don't eat?"

"No, I'm not hungry," He Hua said.

Jin Fu wagged his head then he ate his meal. He emptied the plate, even vegetables.

"You are a good eater." He Hua smiled then he took a wine glass from the table to his lips.

Jin Fu did not say a word yet. He cleaned his lips and put the napkin on the table. After the cook came to take the plate and napkin away, he made a statement to his master, "You drink wine all the time. It harms your health."

The gang-boss paused and viewed the man sitting before him. "You don't like drinking?" He said.

"No." Jin Fu shook his head. "I like eating."

"You are strange. Men usually like drinking."

"No law says that a man has to like drinking," Jin Fu said. "I know how to drink, but I don't drink."

"You're really lucky." He Hua grinned. "You were chased by attackers, then you were shot.. though, you're still alive."

"I have debt, I don't die unless I pay my debt."

He Hua put glass back on the table, "In debt to who?"

"You."

The boss stared at the young man when he caught his words.

"You help grandma. I have to work for you to pay for that," Jin Fu explained.

"From today, you are not a worker anymore," He Hua claimed.

Jin Fu opened his eyes, "You fire me?"

"No." He Hua smiled. "You work as usual, collect data for me, but your position is not my staff anymore."

The young man narrowed eyes as he heard the gang-boss's statement. He did not understand what he meant.

"You saved my life. So from now on, you are my companion," He Hua told.

Jin Fu wide opened his eyes with surprise. "What is the companion? Friend?" He asked.

"No, it's not. I told you already that I will not be friends with you," He Hua said.

Jin Fu nodded his head, then he pointed his thumb to the confidant of his director, "Am I like Black Centipede?"

"I'm not a companion," Black Centipede clarified.

Jin Fu became confused about the title 'companion' that he got from Sunflower Gang.

He Hua knew that this guy was stupid. He was a straightforward person. He liked to say and listen to straight words. Sometimes, the boss felt that he was like a robot - he could understand words that were stored in his program, besides, he needed explanation.

It was characteristic that He Hua identified this young man. And he, the gang-boss, was different. He did not like to explain. He wanted him to search, to observe, but Jin Fu was lazy, he did not like to observe, especially humans, he was fond of observing IT only.

In this case, the director had to find someone to help him, and there was nobody besides Black Centipede.

"I have work to do," He Hua stated. Then he left to remain his confidant with the stupid guy.

The gang-boss's right-hand-man was smart and knew well about his boss. He Hua did not need to say - because Black Centipede realized what he wanted him to do.

"Don't ever say that I am boss's companion again. He had no companion. Only you," Black Centipede said.

Jin Fu narrowed his eyebrows. "How can I know? I don't understand what companion is. You guys like using cultural words. My IQ and EQ are low," he said.

"If you are stupid like this, how can you get girlfriend?"

"I did not get her. She's got me. She chased me," Jin Fu said.

It was a true story. Qing Qing had followed him. Because she was so kind to him, that was why he was defeated and fell in love with her.

Black Centipede rolled his eyes as he heard it. This Jin Fu was the most stupid among people he ever met.

"You are boss's companion. You are not boss, but no one dares to touch you, even men in the gang," he described.

"Wow." Jin Fu unlocked his mouth.

"You can share his car, his credit card..."

Jin Fu was big mouth-open when he heard.

"his bedroom, his mattress, his pillow, his blanket, his dress..."

Jin Fu sucked his lips JOOB JOOB. "A lot of benefits," he shook head and grinned. "What about women?"

"Then share your girlfriend."

"Hey." Jin Fu tied his eyebrows.

"You started first."

"Okay, sorry."

After describing, Black Centipede stood for a while then he took his body back into the house. He strolled downstairs to the library where He Hua was checking documents inside.

"He goes back to room?" He Hua asked.

"When I came down, I saw he was coming in. Now, he should be in the room," Black Centipede uttered.

He Hua nodded his head while saying "Um" in his throat.

*****

Inside the bedroom, Jin Fu crawled his butt backwards on the mattress to lean his back on board of the bed.

In his hands held a new cell phone that Black Centipede had given to him. Phone number was still the same.

The younger male was willing to call Wen Yi, but his friend's call popped up.

"Hello," Jin Fu received the call, and the first word of Wen Yi was, "Assole."

"You call in order to scold me?"

"What can I do besides scolding you? Do you think you are superman? Or do you think you are spiderman that can catch gun bullets? Your body is made of flesh, not made of metal."

"You know I was shot."

"I almost passed out when I heard. Do you know how much I worry about you? Why do you do that?"

"It.. it happened fast. I did not know at that time."

"You said you do not like gangsterism. You told me you do not like He Hua, but when he was in danger, you sacrificed your life to help him, what does it mean?"

"I.. I don't know," Jin Fu scratched his head. "It.. like I said.. It happened fast. I didn't know at that time. I didn't think..."

"Assole. If you meet something wrong, what should I do? What should I tell grandma?"

"Grandma knows?"

"Not yet. I don't tell her because I am afraid it will affect her health."

"Good. Don't tell her. I'm fine now."

"Don't do this again. You should care about yourself. And does Qing Qing know?"

"No. She is in the US. I don't want to make her worry."

"Okay, it's your own business. I won't interfere."

"Hey, how do you know that I was shot?"

"Black Centipede told me."

"Black Centipede?"

"Yes, he called me the morning after you were shot. He also told me to not call you until you get well."

"Why did he tell you?"

"I.. I don't.. know. Perhaps.. he thinks I am your friend."

"Oh." Jin Fu wags his head.

"I have to work now. Talk to you next time. Take care, assole."

"Okay."

Wen Yi clicked off the phone leaving Jin Fu on the seat with narrow eyebrows, questioning why Black Centipede called Wen Yi about his condition.

'Perhaps it's because he thinks Wen Yi is my only relative, that's why he tells him.'

Jin Fu nodded his head. This reason could be acceptable.

'"What are you thinking?"

Jin Fu turned face quickly and saw He Hua was standing and watching him.

"When do you come?" He said.

"I arrived when you were nodding your head," He Hua stated.

"Oh." Jin Fu smiled at the boss. "I just called Wen Yi and had some thoughts."

"Your wound is not yet healed. You should rest."

"Okay." Jin Fu nodded.

The gang boss spun his body towards his wardrobe. Suddenly Jin Fu called him, "Wait."

As he rotated his body, Jin Fu got off the bed and stood before him. "Where is my phone?" He asked.

"Old one?"

"Yes. I want it back."

"It's broken. It cannot be used. I told Black Centipede to buy you a new one."

"Here it is." Jin Fu showed the new phone in his hand to the master. "But I want that phone back. Even if it is broken, I want to keep it."

"Is it from your girlfriend?" He Hua asked with a strange light in his eyes.

"It's the first thing I bought when I got earnings from my first hacking job."

Eyes of He Hua changed to normal after hearing the reason from his companion.

"Black Centipede kept it somewhere in this room. You check by yourself," he told. After, he got a bath's gown, then went into the bathroom.

Jin Fu began searching for his phone after his master gave clues.

Boss's room was big, but it did not have much storage. Just two nightstands with three drawers, a wardrobe that had five drawers below. However, Jin Fu spent a lot of time searching for his phone. He was a person that was unable to find things. Since He Hua went to take a bath till he came out, he did not find his phone yet.

"What are you doing?"

He Hua tied his eyebrows when he saw Jin Fu was looking in his wardrobe drawer.

"I am searching for my phone," Jin Fu replied and at the same time he spun his face.

The young man opened eyes when he perceived the boss standing before his eyes.

'UMM.'

He raised up one eyebrow, then scanned the pretty patron who was wearing white bathrobe about knee length with the upper part of the robe opening and showing his chest cleavage that was white and had no fur.

At that time, He Hua didn't sense that the younger staff was looking at his chest. He was thinking about his companion - that he knew that he couldn't find the phone if he did not take it for him.

The boss wandered to the nightstand between the bed and the lounge. While he was walking towards the nightstand, Jin Fu scanned his calves.

'White and smooth like the calves of a lady.' He thought.

The gang's head was not aware that his companion spied on his body. He opened the first drawer of the nightstand then took the phone out.

"I searched in there too, why I did not see," Jin Fu yelled then ran to receive the phone from his master's hand.

"Reduce your eyes from the computer, then you can see," He Hua said.

"You mean I am blind because of looking at the computer?" Jin Fu said. "Anyway, thank you."

The young guy held the phone in his hand and caressed it. He smiled big and he touched the phone so tenderly and carefully. His behavior showed that this phone was so meaningful to him.

"You should go take shower. But be careful, don't let your wound touch with water," He Hua reminded.

Jin Fu nodded head, "Okay." Then he grabbed a towel and walked into the bathroom.

The head of the gang climbed to sit on bed. He took his tablet with him then relaxed his back on board of the bed while his finger scrolled the tablet screen.

Then screaming from inside the bathroom, AHHHHHHHH.

"Jin Fu."

In a quick manner, He Hua jumped off the bed and ran to the bathroom's door.
