My family

Chapter 5

Wu Xie leaned against his seat as he rubbed his face with his hands after he had saw the video.

"Why are you so shocked. It's not like there's someone else with your face to have done that" Rishan said as he closed the laptop.

"I know. And I kind of have a sense of familiarly of this. But I guess that I have forgotten about it."

"Forgotten?" he asked confused. "Do you suffer from amnseia like my brother?"

Wu Xie chuckled and he shook his head. "I wish. But now. You see Mr. Zhang. As much as I loved being assassin because it's was entertaining and exciting. There were cons to this too. Like for example I couldn't sleep most of the nights and I took several pills to help me with it. Or I recived enough hits to my head in some missions. Things that are enough to make me forget some things.. " He also sometimes drugged himself with so many pills that he even forgot what day it was. Or what he had eaten in the morning and such. At least he had stopped taking them after he had gave up the job.

" If it's was so exciting and entertaining. Then why have you have up to your job?"

"My uncle was getting suspicious about my whereabouts and the fact that I was always going out at night and coming back tired. Told him I'm a bodyguard. When asked for whom I work and panicked and gave your family name. The most well-known family."

"That still doesn't explain. You could have told him that and continue your job"

Wu Xie chuckled with a smirk. "My uncle is a sly fox and cunning. He might have believed me and accepted that. But he would still have checked if it's was real what I said without me knowing. So yeah. I had to gave up for real and actually come here. It's was luck indeed that you were looking for a personal bodyguard for your brother. "

" Yeah.. Luck. "..
Rishan wouldn't have called this a luck. Yeah. His brother was protected. But in the end he had still falled in love with the man and he had left him.." This days I still wonder what would have happened if I wouldn't have accepted you"

"Hey" Wu Xie said and he pointed a finger at the man with a glare. "You can't blame me for your brother decision of leaving you. This was on you. Because you were an asshole and piece of shit."

"You....."

"Let me finish please. You were an asshole and piece of shit. Workaholic. Who value work more then your family. You always left in your business trip and shit and left your brother alone with the house staff. You barely payed attention to him anymore. So think about it. When you decide to change and actually think about paying more attention to your brother then your work then call me and I might convince your brother to at least visit you from time to time "

Wu Xie stood up from the seat and he grabbed the USB from the desk." I might need it "he said before he took his leave without waiting for an answer from Rishan. It's up to him if he wanted to ever see his brother again.

When he returned back home he was meet with an angry and disappointed Pangzi waiting for him.

"What happened?"

"What happened? What happened is that you should have stayed here and not go to talk with Rishan."

"But..."

"No buts. Qiling had another nightmare and he closed himself in the bedroom."

"Qiling. Are you alright?" Pangzi asked a few minutes later after the boy had calmed down.

"Get out?" Qiling rasped.

"What?"

"Out" he shouted and he pushed the man away from him and from the room and locked the door before he collapsed against it.

Worried Wu Xie rushed to his and Qiling room and he knocked. "Qiling. It's Wu Xie. I'm sorry that I left. Please open up sweetheart."
Nothing. After several minutes of silance Wu Xie pulled out his spare key and he opened the door.

"Pangzi", he shouted and the man rushed upstairs immediately.

"What?"

"Qiling is gone" he said looking at the empty room with only the window open.

He knew that the bedroom was at the first floor of the house. But he had experience from sneaking out through a window from a high level. So after he had calmed down enough to not hurt himself Qiling opened the window and he jumped from it carefully to not hurt himself or alert Pangzi. It's was difficult with a hand in cast. But he managed to do it.

He needs to get out of there. He didn't knew if his dream was real or something his brain made out from some reason. But he needs to be away from Wu Xie for a while. He didn't know where he was going in the beginning. He was definitely not going back to his brother that's for sure.

In the end he opted for a hotel. Even though he had left the house, Rishan was always putting money in his bank account every week. Even though he did not spent any of them.
Making up his mind Qiling decided to head to the closest hotel around when he heard a voice calling him.

Turning around he was faced with an unknown man. Younger then Rishan but older then him.
Qiling body tensed because he doesn't know him. His body was in fight or run mode.

"Wait" the man said as he raised his hands before the boy could do anything. "Its alright. I'm not going to hurt you"

"Who are you?"

"I'm not disappointed that you don't remember me. We only meet a couple of times when we were children." He said with a smile. "My name is Zhang Haike. I'm your cousin".
