Time Through Time We Remain Untamed.

CHAPTER 61: POCO UN POCO

     The organic grocery store was quite a new ambiance for Wuxian as he sat, drinking the warm cup of water. He was in the far West side of town, having decided to make a small visit to the store early that morning.

    Xueyang......... they had finally found him. Lan Zhan was able to get all his information in less than 6 hours after he went through his list. Finding him was easy once he identified him and he had given Wuxian all that he needed to know. Xueyang was a dangerous, well trained assassin and human within the black market. Multiple felonies and recorded crimes were tied to his name yet he had never once been convicted or taken into custody. He was that much powerful and elusive. A lot of his works were confidential and untraceable given their nature so it was hard to get his specific pinpoint but that was where Wuxian came in.

     By using the skills dear old Oscar had taught him in jail, Wuxian was able to narrow down Xueyang's particulars and my oh my, what a surprise it was to find out that one of his regular spots was a small, organic grocery store in the heart of the town. It was a complete odd pairing as Wuxian tracked after him for 4 days yet it was also the most brilliant camouflage. Noone would think that a vulgar man like Xueyang could ever be linked to a harmless store that serviced the community.

      It was on the 5th day that Wuxian finally proceeded with the first stage of the plan. Initiate contact to alert the other that they too were watching and it was working admist the current unfamiliar atmosphere.

     "I apologise if I am not saying much it's just........ I can't really believe what you're saying," the man ahead  said as he fixed some items on the food isle. He was the owner of the store, a blind in house farmer called Xiao XingCheng who for all intents and purposes was well entangled with Xueyang on a very personal level. Apparently, he and Xueyang had been going out for the last 6 months and they were on the road of getting serious. Xueyang had been his support system since his untimely accident that had caused his blindness. He had been the sweetest and kindest person he had ever known; caring for him when he had noone left. A heaven sent gift so you can imagine the shock and disbelief he was experiencing when Wuxian had approached him.

      "That's fine. I should be the one apologising. I did not know how deep your relationship was with Xueyang especially at this stage but I do need your help. He is not a good person and is currently causing harm to my family. I need to find him as soon as possible and you are my direct link. It is shameful and I deeply regret asking this from you but even you must have noticed something about him as well.... Something that truly doesn't feel right, haven't you?" Wuxian posed, trying to engage XingCheng's mind to see a deeper perspective and correlation. XingCheng seemed like an intelligent man even without his sight, he must have felt Xueyang playing him one way or another. There was no way he had just strung along without some questions in mind. He had to have  known something.

       Wuxian watched as the man paused, deep in thought, his facials going through self doubt, anger, despair, shock and fear. He fisted his hands as he began breathing heavily, holding his hand as though a suppressed memory was coming through. Wuxian slowly stood up, watching carefully just incase something happened. He was getting concerned little by little as he took in XingCheng's disturbed state.

    XingCheng groaned, grunting as pieces of his past flashed by. He immediately grabbed his phone, speed dialing Xueyang as fast as he could to get an answer. There was no way that it could be true yet now that he had been prompted to look deeply into his life....... His hands shook violently as the phone rang and his heart palpitated so close to his chest.

       "Ahh my baby! What makes you call me this early in the morning? Miss me already?" Xueyang's exhilarated voice boomed through. His tone was laced in sugar coated sweetness and sweet talk, smooth, enticing and lovable to the ear. He spoke like a man in love completely.
