Chapter 26

Yao Fang had finished revision for the day. The remaining time, he thought about taking a nap, but he wasn't really sleepy. He thought about studying some more but his phone started to vibrate and he saw Chen Dulan calling him. It was near midnight.

"Are you alright? Do you need something?" He asked partially worried.

"Young Master... are you free right now?"

"Everyone is asleep at this moment. Why the hell would I be free? I'm supposed to go to sleep, like normal people you know. Not everyone is a crazy nocturnal like you."

"But Young Master... you nap all day in class."

"And you don't even sleep during the day. You stay awake all day at school, I don't even know when you train, if you train at all. Then you work part time all evening. How the hell are you even functioning?" Yao Fang whisper-shouted at the phone.

"Young Master seems to really observe me..." What the hell was this guy saying?! "Young Master... can you sneak out right now? Let's go have some fun."

"Chen Dulan, are you actually out of your mind?"

"No, I'm standing under your window. If you jump out, I'll catch you." Yao Fang rushed to his window and truly, Chen Dulan had been standing there waving at him. "Young Master, don't you want to go and have fun with me? You said you'd help me out." Something about Chen Dulan's voice was crazy today, he sounded drunk, shockingly so. And his voice sounded like honey and yet rough like bark. Yao Fang was totally not feeling his ears get hot, at midnight, from a man's voice.

"Young Master, let's go catch 'Azure'." Yao Fang then realized the actual reason.

"You could've started with that, you know. You're such a weird guy."

"And still Young Master talks to me." He sounded like he was smiling.

"I'm coming down." He said before shutting his phone. Yao Fang wore his shoes kept under his bed, because a guy like had could feel like sneaking out at any moment. He wore a black hoodie over his T-shirt and sweatpants.

He gave one last glance to Chen Dulan waiting for him. The clock had stuck 12 and Yao Fang jumped down, in one swing motion he had landed perfectly on the ground, in a pose similar to action movies. Chen Dulan had made no attempt to catch him. "Young Master is so flashy with his poses."

"Hah!?" Yao Fang felt embarrassed at his self-taught parkour. "You said you'd catch me! You didn't even move! Don't complain about my jump!"

"Not complaining. Let's go." He started walking towards the wall. "I hope Young Master wouldn't need help jumping the walls in his own home."

He took a look at Chen Dulan, he was wearing a black dress shirt, trousers and combat boots. Quite the formal look and his clothes still looked cheaper and more worn out than Yao Fang's casual clothes.

Chen Dulan said as he approached the wall. He pulled himself up like a snake and in a matter of seconds, he was on the other side. He didn't even make a noise. Yao Fang awed internally, Chen Dulan was truly like a viper. He was following such a dangerous guy without knowing where he was being taken. Yao Fang followed, struggled somewhat pulling himself over the wall, and then jumped to the other side with some noise from the impact. Chen Dulan thought , 'Not bad.'

"Young Master, there's one guy near lane 18. He's been buying Azure. Today, we are to find him and interrogate him. Even better if we gain a sample or two."

"What would you do with the sample?"

"Send it to your mother. She will send the information to MinYao."

"My mother can do that!?"

"Of course she can. You may not have heard of how they met. In MinYao it's a famous story, Madam was earlier in the police department in C City. She and Boss fell for each other, but couldn't be together due to Madam's father hating Boss. But Later, she ran away from home and married Boss. She started helping out in such tasks, she was a respectable woman." Yao Fang followed Chen Dulan with awe, he had never been told any such stories.

"Can you also tell me about 'Azure'? Not the drug, something else." Chen Dulan immediately turned to Yao Fang, eyes wide.

"Where... did you hear that name?" He even sounded panicked.

"If it's something important... I'll forget about it."

"Young Master, never take that name casually. Your brother is very skeptical about who all are allowed to know that name... I don't know where you heard it, but never say it."

"Alright..." Yao Fang trailed off. He was very curious about it. 'Azure'. Blue. The name had a nice right to it, almost sounding like an English song. Not blue like the sky, but blue like Saphire. Like Chen Dulan's eyes... only blue when they shone.
