This Martini Smells Blood

Epilogue 🍷

December 10, 2020 Evening

Yu Tang pushed opened the apartment door and dashed inside. He was infuriated and kept yelling Junbai's name.

"Zhan Junbai, where are you rascal?" He searched every corner of the apartment. He opened every room looking for the other. And at last, as he pushed open the door to a room, he saw Zhan Junbai.

"Yu Tang?"

Yu Tang didn't say anything but stood by the door with a confused face. Junbai was tied to a chair.

"How come you're here? Were you looking for me?" Junbai asked as he leaned back on the chair with his cocky smile.

"You!?"

Yu Tang was stunned for a moment. He had contacted Yuzhi earlier and he was told how Junbai betrayed them. Yu Tang was furious because he has started to believe the other. So, when he came to know about it, Yu Tang was furious at Junbai.

He came looking for Junbai to set the score straight. He even made up his mind to resign. But the sight before him just swept clean his conscious.

"How come you are tied up?!" Yu Tang finally asked about his dilemma.

"What do you mean? So, you didn't come here because I'm missing?"

"When did you go missing? I saw you this morning. You came to see your sister, aren't you?"

"Yeah, and look what my dear sister did."

"Aning did this?"

No matter what the situation is... this two will never change.

They kept bickering like this and finally calling it a break Yu Tang helped Junbai out of the ropes. Zhan Junbai was happy to see Yu Tang and it wasn't just because it proved his dominance or effect on Yu Tang. He was genuinely happy. But then it occurred to him.

"Wait. If you didn't know I was locked up, then how come you're here?" He asked doubtfully. "Did you come here because you miss me?"

"You know the answer better than me." Yu tang retorted and walked out.

And it was true. Junbai indeed knows the answer. Yu Tang didn't come here because he just misses him.

"That's why asked... The mission! Did Anning do something?" He asked following the other. Yu Tang halted as he heard him mentioning the mission.

Yu Tang turned and faced Junbai. He was trying to read the other's face.

"So, you indeed have no idea about it." Yu Tang whispered.

"What? What happened? Did we...fail?"

Yu Tang took a deep breath to answer Junbai. "Aning did make some problem. But they managed to reach the factory."

"And?"

"And what?"

"The mission. Just tell me whether my uncle is dead or behind bars. Let me celebrate."

"Why only those two options? Your uncle is a cunning man. He can easily get rid of Wuxie and others." Yu tang said testing the other man's patience.

"Uncle is clever. True. But he is old. That's why I told them to catch him there at the factory with proof. He won't be able to act fast as in the old days." Junbai said confidently. "And also, even you appreciate their talent. You think they will be dead that easily?"

"No. I hope they don't."

"What do you mean? You don't-"

"My concern is you. Not your uncle. So, I didn't check the news. Now enough questions. My duty time is over. Whatever you want to know, ask others. I'm off."
