fang zicheng was used to running five kilometers every morning with 15 kilograms of weight, but fang zikai’s body was not as strong as his brother’s. he was already panting after running two kilometers.

therefore, a week before he went to the base for training during the summer break every year, he would be scolded by qi bufan for being useless.

but fang zikai still gritted his teeth and persevered.

after running five kilometers, fang zikai was drenched in sweat. on the other hand, fang zicheng did not look tired at all, except for his slightly red cheeks.

big brother was still big brother, fang zikai could not compare to him.

on the way home, fang zikai took the initiative to hug his brother’s shoulder. fang zicheng asked him to take his hand away, but fang zikai refused and hugged him even tighter. fang zicheng gave up on resisting and tacitly agreed.

the brothers ‘arms around each other’ as they walked home, fang zikai was like a sparrow, chattering non-stop in fang zicheng’s ear.

“brother, have you kissed our sister-in-law?”

“hey, what were you thinking when you were kissing? is your heart beating fast?”

“brother, sister-in-law is so pretty. don’t you have any other thoughts when you look at her?”

the two of them were already past the age of seventeen. they already understood what they should and shouldn’t know. fang zicheng naturally understood what fang zikai meant by his last sentence. guys always talked about dirty topics when they were together.

when fang zicheng heard this, the image of lu yinxi’s red toot flashed across his mind, and his throat tightened. but on the surface, he still looked like a cold and good student. ” we are still students, and we should put students first. what you said is too early. ”

fang zikai tutted and said that he was pretending to be serious.

fang zikai asked again, ” have you guys kissed? how many times have you kissed me? will you take the initiative or will she take the initiative?”

fang zicheng lost his patience and scolded him in a low voice, ” shut up! ”

fang zikai did not dare to be rash.

he pulled his finger in front of his mouth, making a gesture of zipping it up. only then did fang zicheng let him go. when they reached the entrance of the neighborhood, fang zikai patted fang zicheng’s arm and said, ” look, brother dongli went to work again. he drove a luxury car to the local police station. won’t his colleagues be surprised? ”

fang zicheng looked up at the gate and saw dongli ao’s car driving out.

leaving fang zikai behind, fang zicheng strode towards dong li ao.

dongli ao’s car was waiting for the security guards to let him through. fang zicheng approached and knocked on the car door.

knock knock knock

dongli ao rolled down the car window.

seeing that it was fang zicheng standing outside, dongli ao gestured for him to get in the car.

after fang zicheng got into the car, dongli ao drove the car to the parking lot outside the community and turned to ask him, ” why are you looking for me? ”

“i want to ask about the progress of the case.”

dong li ao’s expression did not look good. he shook his head, a serious look in his cold eyes. ” there’s not much progress. ”

“do you think that the murderer and that person were together?”

“i can’t say for now, but the people in the station think that it’s very likely him.”

fang zicheng asked a few more questions, some of which were not suitable for dongli ao to disclose, so he did not tell fang zicheng. fang zicheng got out of the car since he didn’t get any reliable information from donglio.

lu yinxi would be in greater danger as long as the murderer was not caught.

fang zicheng hated this feeling of insecurity.

when he had gone to pick lu yinxi up in the morning, lu yinxi had also been thinking about this. “i wonder when the murderer will be caught.” lu yinxi had been living in fear for the past few days. sometimes, she would even be woken up by nightmares.

she would always dream of herself being killed and the terrifying scene of her body kneeling on the ground.

during this period, lu yinxi had been seriously lacking sleep. dark circles could be seen on her fair cheeks. fang zicheng patted the back of her hand and consoled her. ” you’ll be fine. ”

lu yinxi pursed her lips and hummed in agreement.

“trust me, elk.” fang zicheng would never let anything happen to her.

lu yinxi looked up at him. seeing the genuine concern in fang zicheng’s eyes, lu yinxi’s heart warmed. she was very lucky to have someone to accompany her and be in fear with her.

“yes, i believe you.”

this continued for three days. that evening, fang zicheng sent lu yinxi home and walked home. when he passed by villa no. 7, he saw dongli ao standing at the door of the house and making a phone call.

fang zicheng activated his special ability to eavesdrop on dongli ao’s thoughts.

dongli ao repeated in his heart, [ this is too dangerous. what if something happens? ] [ this is too risky. ] [ that child is so young. can she cooperate? ]

fang zicheng frowned.

that child …

he strode over and stood behind dongli ao. he shouted at him, ” brother dongli. ”

dongli ao was talking to the person on the other end of the phone. when he heard fang zicheng’s voice, he went silent. dongli ao turned around and nodded at fang zicheng. he then gestured for him to wait.

dongli ao lowered his head and spoke to the person on the other end of the phone. ” i have something to do here. i’ll let him know when he’s back. i’ll hang up first.”

fang zicheng realized that the ‘he’ that dong li ao was referring to was himself.

seeing that dongli ao had hung up the phone, fang zicheng asked him, ” you were looking for me? ”

“how did you know?” dongli ao was a little surprised.

fang zicheng did not explain.

he walked to a flower bed by the road, raised one leg, and placed it on the edge of the flower bed. he asked dongli ao, ” brother dongli, what did you want to talk to me about? ”

dongli ao’s expression was slightly hesitant.

he was in a difficult position.

“what’s wrong?” fang zicheng was not someone who would escape from reality. even if he had guessed that what dongli ao was going to say next might not be something he liked to hear, he still asked.

dongli ao patted fang zicheng’s shoulder gently.

” are you dating lu yinxi? ” he asked fang zicheng suddenly. dongli ao had already looked up lu yinxi’s information. when he found out that she was dating fang zicheng, he was surprised.

fang zicheng had fallen in love without a word. this made dongli ao, who was already in his twenties and had entered society, feel defeated.

‘oh no, little wimp nowadays is so fast.’

“yes.”

fang zicheng’s eyes became guarded. ” why are you asking this? ”

dongli ao could not help but smile bitterly when he saw fang zicheng’s cautious and alert look. what he was going to say next was a little too cruel to these two young people.

” we have a preliminary plan. ”

seeing that fang zicheng was staring at him without blinking, dongli ao paused for a moment before he continued, ” a plan to catch the murderer. ”

“what’s the plan?”

since dongli ao was willing to take the initiative to mention this plan to an outsider like him, he would confess. fang zicheng was also part of their plan. fang zicheng had roughly guessed the plan of dongli ao and the others.

dong li ao was in a difficult position and could not bear to tell fang zicheng about the plan. then, he heard fang zicheng say, ” you want to use the elk as bait to lure the murderer out? ”

dongli ao’s expression froze. “you’ve already guessed it …”

‘this kid is smart.’
