"Yes, Sadie is his ex-girlfriend."

It was the first day of returning to the hotel.

Jin Fu walked with He Hua into the lobby. This time, he did not feel awkward. He strolled freely into the elevator with the boss and his confidant.

When they arrived at the ninth floor, all the followers greeted them.

Like before, in the office, the three of them sat in their spots - and He Hua scrolled on a tablet screen, Black Centipede read the newspaper, while Jin Fu collected data from Bear Gang.

As lunch was about to come, Jin Fu got up and twisted body.

Seeing that, He Hua said, "Where do you want to go?"

"I don't go anywhere," Jin Fu said.

"Lunch is arriving."

"Okay."

Just finishing words, the door was knocked. Then a guard who stood outside opened the door and greeted before he separated the door's sheets to allow the serving cart in.

The cook pushed the cart to the balcony and set lunch like he did with breakfast.

At the meal table, He Hua and Jin Fu sat, when Black Centipede, the guard, and the cook stayed at the side.

First thing that Jin Fu did before holding the knife and fork was bringing glass to his mouth.

"Um, fresh orange juice." He wagged his head.

"What have you got this morning?" He Hua said as he was putting a napkin on his thigh.

"Bear Gang launches its media projects. It seems a lot of people are interested in it," Jin Fu said, then put a piece of meat into his mouth.

"What is it about?"

"It's a website where people can share videos, but it demands you to become its member, if you want to join or see the videos. And in order to become a member, you have to register with your photo."

"That website is strange." He Hua smirked.

"It says it is for security."

"Then what do you do?"

"I want to become its member."

"Why don't you hack it?"

"I don't feel it is easy like other websites. I want to get into it normally first."

Jin Fu's attitude was so careful and considerate. He made the boss feel confident to give tasks to him.

"Actually, I have hacked to check its inner information. The website is registered in the name of Sadie. I bet that she is the woman that stays by Yin Fang's side," Jin Fu added.

As the name of the woman popped up, Black Centipede showed a hard expression. Also, he peeked at He Hua. Though the boss was eating and he was silent, his facial expression was not pleased. However, Jin Fu did not notice. He ate and kept on talking about the female.

"That lady is so hot. Very sexy. Her figure is good and I bet it is natural, but her face, I feel a little bit weird. I don't think she has plastic surgery, but I don't think it is natural either."

He Hua did not utter any word.

At that time, Black Centipede stared at the speaker; he tried to warn Jin Fu to stop talking but the young guy did not look at his way, so he did not get his message.

"That Sadie is smarter than Yin Fang. Just saw the animation, and she found out it was my channel."

The boss was still quiet and the companion ate and carried on, "I remember at the funeral, she did not communicate with anyone, but you."

He Hua showed a displeased expression on his face, still Jin Fu did not sense and he made his lips speaking non-stop.

"Do you know her? Do you and Yin Fang fight over her? Is she your ex-girlfriend?"

The last question made He Hua stare at the man. His eyes were full of offense, but Jin Fu did not get it; he glared at the boss with a smile on his lips.

"You know your tongue has power to make you die or live," He Hua stressed in his words.

Hearing that, Jin Fu knotted his eyebrows, "I just asked. Just answer my question. Why use a proverb?"

"Don't ask."

"I don't know, so I ask."

"If you don't know, search."

"Why do I need to search? It is related to you, now you are in front of me, so I ask you. Just give the answer. Yes or no is enough. I don't understand. It is easy but you make it hard."

He Hua stared at the male speaker - and he looked back with displease as well.

Meanwhile, the phone trembled inside jeans' pocket of Black Centipede. The right-hand man pulled out and accepted the call. Afterwards, he reported, "Boss, I need to see the club."

"What's the matter?" He Hua asks.

"A guest visited our club last night. Today, he comes to tell that he loses his wallet and Wolf argues with him then hits him with a bottle. Now, that guest wants to sue," Black Centipede gave detail.

"Told him many times, why is he still like that? Why today, meet only troubled people?" He Hua said in a vex voice.

Black Centipede was quiet when he saw the director was angry. For Jin Fu, he felt that He Hua included him, so he was irate. He got up and said, "I am bored. I want to go out to see Wen Yi." Then he left immediately.

Black Centipede glanced at Jin Fu, who was walking off then turned to He Hua, "Boss."

"Let him go." He Hua threw the napkin on the table. His expression was furious.

Actually, the confidant was worried that Jin Fu might meet trouble when he went out alone but he saw that the companion and the boss were mad with each other so it was better to give space to them; moreover, he had to deal with Wolf's matter, he had to stay away from their business.

*****

After leaving the hotel, Jin Fu took a taxi to his friend.

Wen Yi told that his grandma had left the hospital. They came to stay in their own house.

The guy arrived before a small house which was built on the ground. He knocked on the wooden door.

CREAK.

"Jin Fu," an old lady yelled when she saw the young man. She pulled his hand to come into the house quickly to sit on a chair in the living room, then she sat next to him and unbuttoned his shirt.

"Grandma, what are you going to do?" Jin Fu said in surprise when the old lady was removing his shirt.

"Take your shirt off," Grandma spoke. "I want to see your scar."

The old lady opened the shirt of the man then she made eyes closer at his naked chest.

"Oh, it will become keloid, but it is okay, it is small." She grinned.

"Grandma, you made me shocked. I thought you wanted to rape me," Jin Fu said.

"Stupid kid." Grandma knocked his head. "If I want to rape a man, I will better rape a grandpa in my dancing group, not kid like you."

"You have a boyfriend?" Jin Fu teased his grandma.

"Yes, I have a boyfriend, a friend who is an old boy," Grandma clarified.

Jin Fu laughed, then he hugged the old lady, "I miss you so much. How are you now?"

"I am well. I miss you too." Grandma pat his head with love.

"You know I got shot?"

"Yes, Wen Yi just told me last night. Now see you're fine, I am so happy."

"I'm sorry, Grandma. I don't tell because I don't want you to worry. I am afraid that it affects your health because you just got surgery."

"Silly kid." Grandma caressed his head. "Wen Yi told me everything. You do a lot for us. No need to say sorry. It's me who should say sorry. If it is not because of me, you will not meet such a problem."

"No, Grandma. It's not your fault. It is what I must do because you are Wen Yi's grandma and you are my grandma too."

"My dear grandson." Grandma held his face and pecked his forehead and his two cheeks.

"Where is Wen Yi?"

"He is inside his room. He gets a call before you come, so he tells me to open the door for you."

"I'm going to see him."

"Go."

Jin Fu walked off the chair then strolled toward the door which was on the right side of the sofa.

When he opened it, he saw Wen Yi holding cell phone and walking toward the door.

"Hey, I think of going to see you," Wen Yi said smilingly.

Jin Fu closed the door and said, "What were you doing?"

"I was calling," Wen Yi said, then went back to sit on a chair before a table which had electronic devices like at Jin Fu's house.

Jin Fu strolled to sleep on the bed behind his friend's back. He extended his arms and legs and looked at the ceiling then he exhaled.

"What's the matter?" Wen Yi said.

"Nothing. Just tired and bored."

Jin Fu got up to sit and leaned back on the bed board. He looked around and found Wen Yi's room had new equipment: laptop, and air conditioner.

"You have an air conditioner?" He asked.

"Uh huh. Grandma's room has one as well," Wen Yi claimed.

"Wow, your life is good."

"Not good, just better than before. Now, I have work, I have a salary and I got payment from the game channel so living is not hard. At least, we don't have to worry about money."

Jin Fu nodded, "Yes, and Grandma does not need to do hard work like before."

"It is your merit."

"Me?"

"Yes. If you don't work for them, they will not help us. You are our Wen clan saver."

"Ha ha ha." Jin Fu laughed strongly. "If so, give your body to pay me," he stated.

"Assole." Wen Yi rotated body then he kicked Jin Fu's leg. "Sleep and wait."

At that time, Grandma opened the door, "Jin Fu ah, have dinner together today."

"Sure, Grandma." Jin Fu nodded.

"Now, I go to the market to buy some ingredients. Today, I will cook food that you like."

"Yes, thank Grandma."

The old lady smiled then she closed the door for them.

"She is healthier," Jin Fu spoke to Wen Yi.

"Um."

"Don't allow her to do heavy work."

"I told her already. She does light work only. She has taken care of her health well since she left the hospital."

"Good then."

Jin Fu blew one. Then he took the phone from pocket to check.

Wen Yi spun body to confront face with the laptop's screen. However, his mouth made conversation with his friend who was staying on the bed behind him, "How are you working?"

"Well, work is good, but people.. not so good."

"What's the matter?"

"Staying near the king is like staying near a tiger."

"You mean Mr. He?"

"Yes, Mr. He..." Jin Fu made a wry face.

"He is nice to you. Why do you say he is like a tiger?"

"Yes, he is nice but his mind is like wind, not stable. I cannot follow."

"Observe.. consider him as your girlfriend and observe him, then you will get to know him."

"I never observe Qing Qing, why do I have to observe him?"

"You are so stupid. I wonder why Qing Qing loves you."

"It is my unique." Jin Fu grinned then he whined and continued, "Like at lunch. I just asked him about Sadie, if she is the reason he and Yin Fang fight each other and if she is his ex-girlfriend, he became angry with me and spoke a proverb. I just asked a simple question; why does he need to take the proverb to instruct me."

"Yes, Sadie is his ex-girlfriend."

"What!!!"

Jin Fu jumped to sit on his butt with a surprise.

"Is it true?" He said.

"Yes." Wen Yi nodded. "It happened about fifteen years ago. They were lovers then they broke up and Sadie went abroad. They never met, just united at the funeral of the former boss of Bear Gang."

"I see," Jin Fu wagged his head. "That's why he seems to be not pleased to see her."

"They had a long story that made them become not good with each other, not because of a break-up."

"What is that?"

Wen Yi spun his chair to face the friend then he narrated, "At that time, He Hua was just a follower in the gang. The boss of Sunflower Gang was Mr. Chen. When He Hua and Sadie loved each other, he took her into the gang. Then Sadie was cheated on by Mr. Chen. And He Hua and her broke up."

"What!! She cheated on He Hua with his boss?"

"Um." Wen Yi nodded.

"Buddha," Jin Fu opened mouth big. It was a bombshell to hear that. How could this happen?

"What did He Hua say when he knew?" he asked.

Wen Yi replied, "He had a broken heart. He was so hurt. He grabbed Sadie to ask why she cheated on him..."

"What did she say?"

"She told him that because she was angry with him. Since she lived with him, her life was so miserable, she said it was him who ruined her life, so he could not blame her for cheating on him."

"How can she say that?"

"Cannot blame her.. she really experienced difficulty after she met with He Hua," Wen Yi claims. "Before she met him, she was studying at university. She was an A list student. Because she loved He Hua, she was expelled from school and her parents cut ties with her. She entered the gang with He Hua. At first, it was fine, but after she encountered several incidents, she changed and became a new person that was completely different from old Sadie."

Jin Fu listened to his friend's story with great attention.

"Gangs fought with each other. Members of each gang usually fought when they met. He Hua got into fights, and a few times, he got Sadie injured. Not only injury, but also a desolate night mare. She was caught and raped by enemy of He Hua. She was very sorrowful and locked herself in room for weeks. At that time, He Hua was so upset. He stayed before the room's door until she got out. She looked fine and better then, but soon after they got into another problem. That day, He Hua brought Sadie to eat outside and they met with gang-men that had raped her; they mocked and laughed at them. He Hua was angry so he had to fight with them. During the fight, Sadie was pushed to cut her cheek. It was deep cut. Even after healing, she still had a scar on it. That scar ruined her beauty. It hurt for both Sadie and He Hua. Then Mr. Chen, leader of the gang, agreed to help. He organized a doctor from abroad to do surgery for her and the scar was removed."

Jin Fu nodded head. It was why he felt her face was strange beauty.

"After that incident, Sadie became aggressive. She was not gentle, cowardly like before. Even in dresses, she switched to a sexy style. She completely changed herself."

"Actually, she is so pitiful," Jin Fu said.

"Uh huh," Wen Yi nods.

"What's about Black Centipede? I feel he hates Sadie so much. Is it because of He Hua?"

"No, it is not. He hates Sadie because she made brother of He Hua die."

"He Hua has a brother?"

"You don't know?"

Jin Fu swayed his head.

"He Hua has one brother. He Hua is the youngest. His brother entered the gang, so he became a gang member too. He Hua's brother was close with Black Centipede and Black Centipede was the right hand of Mr. Chen. He took care of He Hua's brother and him. After He Hua found out that Sadie cheat on him with Mr. Chen, they haven't broken up yet. He Hua still had feelings for her, but she became worse day by day. She cheated on him with many men. She even had an affair with the leader of Scorpion Gang and caused the two gangs to fight each other. During fighting, the leader of Scorpion wanted to kill He Hua, but his brother protected him, so he was stabbed to death and next, He Hua killed the leader of Scorpion Gang."

"How did He Hua get a position as Sunflower Gang's leader?"

"After his brother died, Mr. Chen promoted him to be his left hand. Few years later, Mr. Chen died because of illness. Before he died, he gave him to be the new leader of the gang and asked Black Centipede to help him to take care of his gang. Black Centipede considered He Hua like his own younger brother, that's why he helps and looks after him."

"I understand." Jin Fu nodded his head. "Because he is close with He Hua's brother. But why does He Hua not take revenge?"

"Because he thinks he owes her. He thinks that if he did not bring her into the gang, she would not meet horrible incidents and change to be a person like this. He thinks it was his fault. If he did not love Sadie, his brother would not die. He also asked Black Centipede to spare Sadie's life and Black Centipede agreed with him. After the death of He Hua's brother, Sadie left for abroad."

Jin Fu exhaled. He never imagined there was such a sad story behind the fierce boss of the gang.

"Then what's about between Yin Fang and He Hua?"

"Yin Fang was a former member of Scorpion Gang."

"Ahh, old enemy." Jin Fu wagged his head.

"After the leader died, the Scorpion Gang vanished. Its followers divided to join with other groups. Yin Fang ran to stay with Bear Gang. Former of the Bear gang was friends with both Sunflower and Scorpion, so he accepted Yin Fang. Furthermore, Yin Fang was good among his followers. He helped Bear Gang grow up, that's why the former boss of Bear Gang put his trust in him."

"He Hua killed his leader, made him lose shelter so he holds a grudge and wants to take revenge."

"Yes, it is one part and another part is that even though he is smart and good, but He Hua is smarter and better than him. He is envious, that's why he tries to drag him down, but he always fails."

Jin Fu laughed. Yes, he could see the boss of Bear Gang was hot-tempered, that was the reason he was beaten by He Hua, who was calm and easy going.

"Yin Fang is clever, but he is selfish. He does not like anyone to be better than him. And he is doubtful. He does not trust anyone; he trusts only himself. He likes to control everything, that's why his work is slower. For He Hua, he has Black Centipede. He trusts him so he gives work to him. And Black Centipede is really loyal to He Hua. He helps him with everything from his heart. He manages all work for him. Before died, Mr. Chen told He Hua to look after the gang and change the gang to do legal business. He Hua made a promise. So, when he became boss of the gang, he sold clubs, just kept only one, to build the hotel. He Hua did not know how to manage the hotel business, so Black Centipede hired a manager to run all the work, and they just looked at achievement from top."

Jin Fu sat and listened to his friend telling with narrow eyes. He felt strange because he noticed when talking about Black Centipede, Wen Yi smiled.

"Black Centipedes cares and loves He Hua so much. He knows He Hua well. He is like a worm inside his intestine. He knows what he likes, what he doesn't like. He is concerned about his security, so he chooses people to be around He Hua carefully, even room cleaners, cooks, etc. Everything related to He Hua, he has to be reported."

Wen Yi finished his telling. He did not hear from his friend so he turned his face and then found Jin Fu glaring at him.

"Why do you look at me like this?" He asked.

"Let me see." Jin Fu crawled to the edge of the bed and grabbed the head of Wen Yi. "You dye your hair black?"

Wen Yi pulled his head from the hands of his friend and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Why do you turn your hair to be black?"

"Black Centipede said that he likes natural hair color, so I dyed it."

"Black Centipede?"

"Uh huh."

"He just told you and you dyed it black. I have told you many times, you did not follow me."

"It's.. it's..." Wen Yi said unevenly, "it's because.. he is the one who gives me a job. And he tells me that in the gang, members are not allowed to dye their hair, so I have to respect his word."

"You have a point." Jin Fu nodded. He thought it might be true, because he noticed that no one in the gang dyed their hair.

"What's the story you have told me? How can you know?"

"Black Centipede told me." Wen Yi said.

"He told you." Jin Fu knotted his eyebrows. "Why did he tell you?"

"I don't know. Perhaps he wants me to tell you." Wen Yi escaped his face to turn to his laptop.

Jin Fu became stupid.

'Why does Black Centipede tell the history of He Hua to Wen Yi? Why does he tell him in order to make him tell me?'

When the man was in confusion, a bell rang.

Wen Yi hurriedly got off the chair, but Jin Fu was quicker; he made his feet leave the bedroom for the house's front door before his friend.

Actually, the dude did it innocently; he did not inspect his friend who was having a worried face.

He opened the door and then he unlocked his eyes, "Black Centipede."
