"Did he go into her house?"

"Hello," Jin Fu called and grinned from ear to ear.

In common, Wen Yi would show exciting expressions as he visited, but today, he did not; his face was a little bit pale and his body seemed to be shaking slightly.

"Hey, you look like you see a ghost," Jin Fu stated.

"No, I'm fine," Wen Yi uttered, then opened door for his friend.

While Wen Yi was shutting the door, Jin Fu walked in the direction towards the room. Suddenly, Wen Yi shouted, "Hey, where are you going?" and he ran to him.

"I go to your room. What's the matter? Why do you shout loudly?" Jin Fu narrowed his eyebrows.

"No, nothing. But before you get in, go to the kitchen and take water," Wen Yi said.

"I am not thirsty."

"Now, you are not, but later, you will." Wen Yi pushed. "Go to take. Two bottles."

"Okay."

Jin Fu walked to the kitchen. He went to the refrigerator and took out two bottles of drinking water.

When he got out, he saw Wen Yi was still at the front door, behaving like he just shut it.

"Anyone come?" Jin Fu asked.

"No." Wen Yi shivered his head.

"Then why do you stand there?"

"I just check whether the door is locked or not."

"Okay." Jin Fu nodded. "Where is Grandma?"

"She goes to see her friends. Late evening, she will come back."

Jin Fu wagged his head then he made his way into the bedroom.

Wen Yi came after. He closed his room door and walked to sit on a chair and opened the laptop. As for Jin Fu, he went to sleep on his friend's bed like usual.

"Are you busy?" He said.

"Not so," Wen Yi responded with his face kept on looking at the laptop's screen.

"You don't tell me yet about your work that Black Centipede assigns you."

"Well," Wen Yi typed and spoke at the same time, "it is not a big job. Just make posters and short videos to post on social media."

"You are doing digital marketing!"

"Similar. To promote the business of the gang."

"Hotel?"

"No. Hotel has its own PR team. I do promotion for the club's business."

"Sounds good."

"Why do you come again today?"

"Oh, I want to ask you about this website."

Jin Fu took his phone out of pocket and Wen Yi spun his chair to friend to have a look.

"This one." Jin Fu showed.

Wen Yi took the phone from the hand of his friend to view it closely.

"It's the website that Bear Gang makes. It is not public. Creator or viewer needs to register with their photo, then they can upload and watch video. This website has no advertisement, so the creator cannot monetize, but they can earn money by joining a monthly competition with a prize HKD 1,000," Jin Fu described.

"Doing business is to earn money. How can?" Wen Yi stated. "Surely. They have things behind."

"Yes, even you think it is fishy too," Jin Fu said. "So, I want you to help me."

"I will ask my fans."

"Thanks." Jin Fu patted his friend's shoulder.

"Never mind." Wen Yi grinned and returned the phone. "Does Qing Qing come back?"

"Yes, she is back. I just met and had lunch with her this afternoon."

"Cool. When will the two of you get married?"

Hearing this question, Jin Fu blew his breath.

"Why exhale?" Wen Yi raised eyebrows. "You two argue?"

"No." Jin Fu shook head. "Just.. I.. I feel she is acting a little bit strange."

"What's strange?"

"I don't know. I'm not sure. I just felt like this."

Wen Yi sat on a chair and listened to his friend silently.

"Before she went to the US, she was so caring about me. But today, when we had lunch, she did not care about me. She just looked at her phone and.. there was a colleague-man, and it seems they are close with each other."

Wen Yi extended his lips, "You're jealous?"

"No, I don't think I'm jealous. I just.. I just didn't feel happy about that," Jin Fu claimed.

"Don't think too much. You know already that her work is pressure and it is so competitive. Perhaps she is tired. You should take care of her. Before you did not have money, but now you have a job and cash, you should return care to her," Wen Yi said.

"You're right. But what should I do?"

"You can take her shopping, buy her a flower or dress or purse. Women like these things."

"Good idea." Jin Fu nodded. He felt released. "I'm going back to hotel," he said.

"You don't wait to see Grandma?"

"Next time. I will come when you get information."

"Okay. When I get any news, I'll contact you."

"Okay, bye."

"Bye."

Jin Fu came to join dinner with his boss at the balcony. After that, he divided into his room to take a bath and change clothes before he returned to sleep in He Hua's bedroom like last night.

In his room, on the bed, Jin Fu found a paper folder.

"What is it?

He opened it and saw it was his bank passbook and also a credit card.

"Having money is a benefit like that. Every work is fast," he said with a smile.

*****

During these days, Jin Fu gathered information for He Hua, and waited for information from his friend but Wen Yi was quiet.

Qing Qing was quiet too. Jin Fu was so frustrated. He waited for her call, but his phone did not vibrate. The man felt he could not stand by, so he phoned her and made the appointment with her this weekend to do some shopping. Qing Qing concurred.

The boss heard about the date between his companion and his girlfriend. Though he did not stop, he was not pleased to know about that.

In fact, he didn't want his younger male to go out because he was worried about his safety, but he knew that he had no power to break he and his girl off seeing each other. What he could do was to order his men to protect his beloved staff in secret.

Jin Fu and Qing Qing went to the mall. They had a meal, then they went shopping.

"We get in," he said and held his girlfriend's hand to a purse store.

Qing Qing looked at the store and saw it was a famous brand. She pulled Jin Fu's hand and stated, "It's expensive."

Jin Fu smiled, "Don't worry, I can afford it." Then he clutched her hand and walked her in.

"You choose," he told.

Lady was a little bit nervous. She liked this brand so much. Even though her salary was quite high, she did not dare to buy it. But when she saw confidence on Jin Fu's face, her mind was at ease; she walked around to find her favorite.

From nearby, the dude stood and watched his girlfriend smiling. When she showed her choice, he nodded his head without hesitation.

When going to pay, Jin Fu did not narrow eyebrows when he saw the price, he handed his credit card with a grin on his lips.

The way he was today was very surprising and exciting to the woman. It has been three years, today was the first time that she felt lively in this relationship. Qing Qing's face was full of a large smile.

"Where do we go?" She asked when they left the store.

"I don't know. Where do you want to go?" Jin Fu said.

"Hm, what's about seeing a movie?"

"Okay."

The young lady smiled big as she heard.

She held his hand tightly, and the two walked to the cinema.

Jin Fu bought tickets, popcorn, and drinks before they got into the hall.

Inside, they sat in a couple seats.

Next to the seat, there were two males watching the two lovers. They were the guards who were ordered by He Hua.

Jin Fu did not sense these guys; his eyes were on the screen while his hand embraced his woman.

The movie was a romance, so the viewers in the room came in couples, man and woman. Only He Hua's followers - man and man - and they sat in the couple seats.

The viewers nearby peeped and giggled.

The guards realized, but they tried to bear it because they were told to not allow Jin Fu to find out.

It was really tough work for them. Especially, when the intimate scene between the main characters was shown on the screen, the male-spies looked at each other with MEH expression. They looked at the next couple sitting on their right, they were kissing each other; they went to look at front sitters, they were pecking each other; they spun to look at Jin Fu and Qing Qing, they also smooched. The men exhaled then they bent their heads and shook slightly.

*****

In the office-room, He Hua was sitting in his seat, scrolling finger on the tablet at the same time he listened to his men report.

"They had a meal, they went into the store, then they went to the cinema. After that, he took her home."

"Did he go into her house?" He Hua asked.

"No, he walked her to the front door of her apartment. They stood there for a while, then she got in and he took a taxi."

"What did they do at the front door?"

"They just talked, and..."

The guard hesitated to say.

"And what?" He Hua stated.

"They.. they talked and kissed."

The gang's boss's finger paused when he heard the report.

"Kiss?" He claimed.

"Yes."

The head of the men-group nodded his head then called, "Okay, you go."

"Yes boss."

After his men withdrew, He Hua remained in his seat shortly before he rose his butt from the chair and went into the bedroom.

The patron took a shower with his head full of images about Jin Fu and Qing Qing that his followers had reported him. As he was reminded of the close motion between his companion and his girlfriend, his heart seemed upset. It was deep and strong sadness that he never got it even when Sadie had cheated on him.

The boss of gang closed his eyes. He allowed the water to spray on his head and flew on his face and whole body. His mind wished the cool liquid could vanish the dejected thing that was staying inside. Also he hoped the water would refresh his heart and brain, but it seemed not successful.

He Hua decided to close the water and hurriedly got off.

He wore bathrobe then he looked at himself in the mirror.

The elder man sighed heavily. Next, he moved his body to the bed. He leaned his back on the bed board, stood one knee and set the tablet on his lap. Like usual he scrolled and pressed fingers on the screen while his eyes kept on it.

CREACK.

The door opened and Jin Fu appeared.
