Fate

Ch. 36

Wangji had followed Wuxian out of Wen Qing's room. Wuxian just went out into the hallway for a moment. He felt as if he could not breathe. He finds out that it was Jin Guangyao who brought Wuxian's Shijie to the battlefield that night. Jin Guangyao also tortured Wen Qing for so long and he felt sick to his stomach. He was glad that Jin Guangshan was already dead because he wanted to gut the man who violated his Qing-Jie.

"Wei Ying, are you going to be alright?" Wangji asked.

"I just need a minute," he said with a nod and then looked at Wangji, "it was Jin Guangyao this entire time. All because he wanted my Yin Hu Fu. Did he have any other vendetta against me? I don't ever remember doing anything to him."

"Wei Ying, people do not need a reason to be terrible," Wangji told him, "the only thing that they strive for is power. He will pay for what he has done, but we need to keep our heads clear."

Wuxian nodded, "I just didn't expect her to suffer so much. They didn't kill her but they tortured her and they sexually harassed her. If Jin Guangshan wasn't already dead, I'd castrate the man before killing him."

Before Wangji could get a word in, someone spoke to them from behind them, "you should be careful saying such things. Some people might think you are a criminal," the person said.

Wangji growled and turned to see who would be dumb enough to intervene and insult his fiancé, "Jin Guangyao?"

"Huh, I do not know who that is, but my name is Zanjin Zhu," he said, "you two seem very suspicious talking about that stuff."

"Zanjin?!" Another voice came and it was Haikuan, "don't you have to get caught up back at work."

"Haikuan, do you know these people?" Zanjin asked.

"I do, now leave them alone," Haikuan said.

"Your arrogance will come back to haunt you," Zanjin said before leaving.

"Sorry about him, he is a colleague of mine at the Lab. He is a smart man but many do not trust him. He's nearly lost his job a few times because some of his experiments were almost too dangerous," he said.

"He looked like Jin Guangyao," Wuxian said.

"Are you sure?" Haikuan asked.

"Jin Guangyao looked like him, only he didn't have long hair. Jin Guangyao is also not one to just interfere with another conversation...that I know of," Wuxian said.

"If you two are okay, we should get back to the room and inform the others of this," Haikuan said, "it might be important for them to know."

Wuxian nodded, "what were you doing out here anyway?"

"I was looking for you both," he replied, "Zhan was going to at first but I decided to go look for you. Plus, I needed a moment to get away from my doppelgänger being oblivious out of his mind."

"What is my brother oblivious of?" Wangji asked.

"Just come inside and see for yourself," Haikuan replied.

When they returned, they saw that Xichen was being teased by Wen Qing. The man was unknowingly flirting too, "Lan Zhan and Xichen-Ge are definitely cut from the same cloth. He doesn't know how to flirt either...but if Xichen-Ge likes Wen Qing, good for him."

"Wuxian, I do not know what you mean," Xichen said.

"Of course not," Wuxian said.

Xiao Zhan walked over to Wuxian and Wangji, "are you both going to be okay?" He asked.

"I am just a bit overwhelmed," Wuxian said, "we then ran into one of Haikuan's colleagues and he looked exactly like Jin Guangyao...but his name was Zanjin Zhu."

"He met you two?" Yibo asked.

"Yes, why?" Wuxian asked.

"If you can, avoid him if at all possible," Yibo said, "he is cunning and he has been after my brother's job for years. He fails because my brother is favored by his boss and other colleagues."

"Seems to me that we need to keep an eye on him," Wuxian said.

"Well, I may not like it, but since he and I work at the same company, I can watch over him," Haikuan suggested, "maybe he has similarities to Jin Guangyao."

"I am not sure," Zhan said, "but be careful."

"Speaking of, since we are here, can I gather some DNA samples from you. Maybe I can run some tests to see if you and your doppelgänger have any relations."

Yibo nodded and went to her cotton swabs and other things to take samples. There were vials and little bags to hold everything in. Haikuan for a swab of the mouth and a hair sample. He even got a small blood sample from each of them. Haikuan labeled them as he gathered them and put them in a little container to keep them safe.

"It will take a couple days but I will try to get the results as soon as possible. Maybe it will give us some insight in all this," Haikuan said.

"Alright," Zhan replied.

Haikuan then left so he could get the samples to a safer place. Wuxian turned and wrapped his arms around Wangji, and Wangji responded by wrapping his arms around him and running his fingers through his hair, "It will be alright, Wei Ying," Wangji assured him.

"Mnn," Wuxian hummed.

Wangji smiled knowing that Wuxian has no desire to speak anymore at the moment. He was perfectly content being held by Wangji which was very comforting as he has been overwhelmed with so much more information. He just wanted to forget about everything for a bit and just be held by Wangji. Wangji of course, had no objections.

The others in the room were quite happy to see the two have worked out so many things. Xichen was even more content that his brother had finally found someone that he wants to have to call his. Wangji has always been alone and to see him now, this is all Xichen wanted for his brother, happiness.
