The Guy in Black

Envoy

  Yunlan watched his boyfriend with gleeming eyes. His eyes did not waver even after entering the house.
Shen Wei looked back at him for two seconds with narrowed eyes, then heaved a sigh, "Strip."
Yunlan's eyes went wide, "Huh!!!"
Wei looked at him with a done expression, "strip your jacket Yunlan. You have worked again. I need to check on your wound."
Yunlan proceeded as told while muttering incoherently under breath. Shen  definitely did not pay any heed to that.
After checking and redoing the bandage Shen Wei was pressed on the couch. He looked at Yunlan with cold eyes who was totally unbothered with the glare.
"Angry???"
Wei scoffed, "You think? How many days have it been that you recovered from your last injury Yunlan? Are you always this careless?"
Yunlan looked at him with a blinding smile. Then pressed a kiss on his lips.
"I'll pay attention from now on."
"Mn..."
"Chu Shuzi knows you.... "
It was a statement that Wei didn't refute. He pushed Yunlan away from his body and got up.
"Yes."
"I've never seen him respectful to anyone.."
"I .... saved his life. He is one of the handful people who knew my real face when I worked before."
Yunlan looked at him with sharp eyes. He didn't want to miss a single emotion on Wei's face but he can't detect a single thing.
After a moment he asked, "When are you going to tell me about yourself?"
Wei chuckled. His voice deep but a little playful, "When you ask...".
He let out a tiny sigh before speaking again...

Da Qing watched his chief skipping steps to reach the man clad in black. He didn't dare to even breath out loud before the man went away. Then he turned to Chu Shuzi who rubbed his nose.
"Do you remember the Envoy?"
Da Qing frowned, "The man who used to be the terror of underworld?"
"Mn..."
"Yes, I heard he had vanished and probably dead...."
"He is the Envoy."
Chu Shuzi looked back at Da Qing. He looked shocked silly with wide eyes and agape mouth. He resisted the urge to laugh and closed his mouth for him before walking out of the car.
Da Qing jumped a little when he heard a knock on the window on his side.
"A little friendly reminder, the words about Envoy can't go out. I won't hesitate to slit a throat for him if anyone betrayed. And trust me, it'll be the better way out than getting in his hands."
Da Qing blinked multiple times digesting the words, then shuddered.  Looked at the back of Chu walking away the warning rang like a bell in his head. He swallowed thickly before getting out of the car with weak knees.
He needs to warn chief about this.

--------------------

Chu Shuzi sprawled on the sofa. He blinked at the ceiling reminiscing the day that is etched in his mind forever.

  It was a gloomy cloudy night when he was assigned the task of peeping into a meeting between two triads. He was an undercover those days and he was working alone that night. He realised that he was, the whole group were just pawns when his upper echelon sacrificed his position to get their approval. A scumbag.

Chu gritted his teeth but couldn't really do anything with shackles weighing his limbs down. He was even kept in a cage for three days without any supplement before one day he heard hushed footsteps.

The short sword and the long dagger in the man's hand flashed with dim silver light while he harvested lives like nothing. Even with the hatred in his heart Chu flinched seeing him torturing, then killing the man who betrayed their group, brutally.

When they came out of the building he learnt that his whole group was annihilated from the torture they received. He was the only one who lived through this.
Chu pledged his loyalty to the man. From then on he gave countless information to the man who named himself Envoy after getting into the system officially. For him the man is equivalent to a God.
It was by chance he saw his face after working several months for him. And then two years ago the connection between them severed suddenly.
 
He got to know that Envoy was shot and injured badly. It was a trap. People speculated that he is dead.

Seeing him today again, he was elated. For these two years he suppressed his urge watching those wretched people jumping up and down. He was waiting for Envoy to come back.

Now he can smile again.
