Dark Purple Rose [YiZhan FF]

Chapter 15

They drove off and Zhan asked: "What actually happened?"

Yibo shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know exactly. Suddenly several guys came into the lounge, I think they were Russian, and then they said the party was over and all the guests had to leave. I went to fetch you, but Mrs. Isari was already coming towards me and told me to take you away."

"That's very strange." Zhan replied.

"That's right."

"And where are we going now? To my apartment?"

"Not right away. We're going to a meeting point first, where we'll meet Agent Nax. She wrote me that she wants to talk to us."

"Oh dear, I hope she doesn't grumble."

"I don't think so." Said Yibo. After that, they were silent until they reached the city limits and the fake cab pulled into a deserted parking lot. Shortly afterwards, a white van arrived, containing Agent Nax and the two agents Zhan had met the night of the concert. Zhan and Yibo got into the van with them.

Before Zhan and Yibo could say anything, Agent Nax clapped his hands. "Good work. Really good work. Yibo, Zhan was right, you had too much focus on being the idol. But, you did get information from the guests about how they met Mrs. Isari and their relationship. Zhan, I'm allowed to say Zhan, right? You've done a really great job. Thanks to you, we now know about a corrupt prosecutor. And we know what she's using to blackmail her assistant. What I wonder is, what was she trying to do with her questions about your childhood and your parents?"

"I'd like to know that too. The conversation was cut short abruptly and that's why we never got around to her explaining anything to me or telling me why and what she wanted to talk to me about. But I assume she'll be in touch soon and hopefully I'll find out then." Zhan replied.

"Yes, I also assume that she will get back to you soon."

"Sorry I was so distracted earlier. Um, who were those guys who crashed the party?" Yibo wanted to know.

"Well, we found two of them in the database. They're heavy guys who belong to a very well known Russian cartel. I assume the others are part of it too." Agent Nax explained.

"Russian cartel then? This is getting better and better. What else is there? The Italian mafia? Or some Asian triads? Jesus, what kind of people is this woman involved with? What else are we going to find out about her?" Zhan replied and just shook his head.

"The file is thick. Remember?" Agent Nax asked and Zhan remembered this overflowing file that he was not even allowed to see.

"And what happens now?" Yibo asked.

"Well, at the moment we'll have to wait for Ms. Isari to get back to Zhan. Since you don't have any idol appointments in the next few days, I'll ask you to stay with Zhan as a bodyguard. I don't think he really needs protection, at least at the moment, but I'd rather have someone with him. You'll also be there when she contacts Zhan and can let him know immediately." Agent Nax explained.

"Sure, I'll stay with him. But I should get a few things from my apartment. After all, I can't wear Zhan's clothes every day." Yibo replied and grinned at Zhan.

"I'll ask your personal assistant to pack some clothes for you and bring them to me. And then I'll let them bring to you." Agent Nax said. She looked at Zhan with a look that made him realize that she didn't want Zhan to know where Yibo lived.

"Man so complicated. Why don't we just drive by his apartment? I'll stay in the car downstairs too. If necessary, I'll wear these stupid black glasses so I can't see where he lives. Such a mess just because of a bit of clothing. And if you don't like that either, then let him continue to help himself to my closet. And by the way, it's really childish of you to make such a fuss just so I don't find out where Yibo lives. So that you know! Even if I did know, I wouldn't just turn up at Yibo's place!" Zhan interjected, annoyed.
