Yes, I'm back...
To compensate for my absence, a sweet chapter for you.

And there is a cliffhanger at last... So me, right?

Doctor Chen's house has always been like a monastery spreading serenity all around. That's what kept Yuelou sane in his dark times.

But now...

"Wow... I can't stop eating..." Pangzi said as he gulped the noodles. "MHhhhmmmmmm..."

"Stop you are drooling... It's gross. Pass me that sauce." Wuxie said smacking Pangzi's head.

"But this wonton noodle is so delicious. Delightful." Pangzi said and stuffed his mouth again. Wuxie was also gulping down like he has been starving for months.

"I'm full..." That's when the one who only made slurping sounds for the past half an hour opens his mouth for something else. Yanjing falls back to the couch rubbing his bulging stomach. "Oh my god, I can't move."

"You ate food for 4 people alone. What do you expect?" Xiao Hua glared at the elder.

"Too delicious to resist," Yanjing said in low voice. That Wasn't the best time to argue. So, he didn't say anything further. Xiao Hua also did the same.

"Xiao Ge, you want more?" Wuxie asked the man who long finished his portion. Wuxie was too engrossed in his plate that missed the other leaving the table to wash hands and come back.

"Oh wow... That's something new. So, there are still things that can take your attention other than somebody." Xiao Hua didn't let this opportunity slide.

"What? Oh! You are done already." Wuxie exclaimed seeing Kylin sit his hands crossed with his face down.

Kylin could only look at Wuxie. I mean, he can't say, you pig stop embarrassing me. Right?

"Okay... I'll finish it."

"I can help."

"I wish I could..."

While all these messes going on the hosts, Yuelou and Yuzhi were smiling ear to ear seeing them. Even though things are still on the edge, these three were not even a bit affected.

"Okay wrap it up. We gather to discuss our next step. So, let's get serious." Yuelou announced seeing how their feat doesn't seem to end any soon.

"Okay Okay..."

"So now... Who is gonna start?" Wuxie asked as all seven gathered in the living room.

They all took seats as usually they do. Now it was an understood agreement between them. Wuxi sat with Pangzi on his right followed by Yanjing. Xiao Hua always takes the single couch so as not to share a seat with a certain someone. Wuxie wasn't that pleased but well he can't be standing all the time like Kylin. He was too lazy for it. Yuelou and Yuzhi sat on the couch opposite the long sofa.

"I'll go first," Yanjing said as he leaned to the front.

"I'll only share the results. So, no questions on my methods."

"We don't want it. Now spill." Wuxie said irritably as he was hearing this for God knows how many times.

"I was on to the doctor's activities. Well, he does receive way more cash than being a government consulting doctor and a professor. But It's not illegal. He receives the amounts from different people who are his patients or pretends to be his patients. I looked into those people. It's like that boy who hit the inspector with his car. Normal people."
