He Will Come Back Before Dawn

42

Despite knowing he was on a mission, looking at the unfamiliar, "corrupted" son, Pei Haobin still took a few steps over, his face becoming ugly: "Bastard! What are you doing?"

The scene froze for a moment and time seemed to slow down. At first, the lively atmosphere was at a standstill when the police came in. Almost everyone was looking at Pei Haobin and the police officers with him, but the captain went straight to the bar and let the inquiring eyes focus on Pei Chuan.

Pei Chuan removed the cigarette between his lips with two fingers and extinguished it on the bar counter/table. Since the last time Pei Chuan's prosthesis had been bitten and left, Pei Haobin had not been able to find him.

Pei Chuan knew this person too well. Pei Haobin separated official affairs and private affairs. Even if he wanted to find him, he could only ask his colleagues as much as possible rather than using authority for personal gain. Pei Chuan had left a lot of “clues'' for him, but with Pei Haobin’s strength, he would only get further from the truth the more he searched. This had been the case a year ago, and it would still be the same a year later.

However, Pei Haobin wouldn’t ask the teenage girl in his community about it. He was cold-hearted, and his relationship with the neighbors was average. More likely, he also didn’t want Pei Chuan to return.

After all, when Pei Chuan had been at home, the atmosphere in the house had been frozen. Wouldn’t it hinder their family’s harmony?

Pei Chuan’s indifferent attitude angered Pei Haobin. He raised his hand and slapped him.

A clear and sharp sound echoed and the music stopped. Pei Chuan didn’t dodge, and the slap numbed half of his face. He turned his head sideways: “Officer Pei, take this slap as repayment for your cheap sperm.”

The crowd was roaring when they saw the scene. Pei Chuan’s voice wasn’t very loud, and only the bartender heard these words.

Pei Haobin’s heart trembled and he took two steps back.

Pei Chuan wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb. His mouth was awfully painful, and there was a slight trace of blood seeping. Jin Ziyang and the others hadn’t seen this scene from the end of the hall. Only Ji Wei who sat the closest saw it. Ji Wei was shocked; he came over and whispered: “The police cannot hit people indiscriminately ah.”

Pei Haobin regretted it a bit, but that slap also hurt his hand. However, Pei Chuan had thorns in his eyes, nailing his footsteps in place.

Behind him, a police officer said: “Captain, there is still official business to do, Zhao Ping is still in Qing Shi.”

Pei Haobin stammered: “I… Pei Chuan…” In the end, he said nothing. He led the people to the seventh floor to search.

This incident seemed to only be a small episode, and the music continued. Half of Pei Chuan’s face was red and swollen. He looked at the dazzling room and let out a laugh with a low voice.

Wasn’t he only a combination of worthless sperm and eggs?

Ji Wei hesitatingly asked: “Brother Chuan, are you okay?”

Pei Chuan said: “En.”

Ji Wei: “Oh.” He didn’t know how to comfort others. He felt that Brother Chuan had no smile on his face and was very sad. But if Pei Chuan said he was fine, then he must be fine.

Ji Wei said: “Then I’ll go back to study?”

“Go ahead.”

He watched as the figure of Ji Wei walked towards the corner. He worked hard, but it wasn’t going to work. Just like in ancient times, no matter how hard you tried, you couldn’t win the scholarship. Pei Chuan looked at him but didn’t think he was pathetic. After all, he himself was more pathetic than Ji Wei.
