He Tian and Mo Guan Shan have come to realise they mean more to each other than they originally thought. Their relationship slowly starts improving bit by bit, but what happens when someone comes after Mo Guan Shan? Will He Tian be able to protect h...
Back in the car, He Cheng pulled his phone out of his pocket. "Qiu- No, I'm not calling you Brother Qiu. Listen to me, you shit. I need two locations. Yeah. Zhong Xiu and Jun Katsu." He hung up and put his phone back in his pocket.
He Cheng drove whilst He Tian tried calling Mo Guan Shan once again. He frowned when he got no response. Maybe he's asleep. It is late, after all.
He Cheng looked at He Tian. "Who was the man you was talking to back at the motel?"
He Tian glanced at his brother before directing his attention back to his phone. "A taxi driver. Why?"
"You two seemed familiar with each other."
"We share an understanding."
"Right." He Cheng said slowly. More silence followed before He Cheng spoke again. "What's the issue with you and Jun Katsu?"
"He's always trying to get involved with my life, always trying to get me to drop school and work for Mr. Jian, but when I refuse he tries to destroy my life instead. This time, he's using someone I care about to do it."
"And Zhong Xiu?" He Cheng glanced over again.
He Tian huffed and put his phone away, still not getting a response from his boyfriend. "I don't know who he is or why he's involved."
"He works for Mr. Jian too but he's always out of the country or working in a night club that the Boss owns. He and Jun Katsu used to be pretty close when they worked together." He Tian said nothing, but let his mind click things into place. After a minute of silence, He Cheng spoke again. "Who is this special friend of yours?"
"Why all the questions?" He Tian snapped, glaring at his brother.
He Cheng threw him an annoyed look. "You're the one that came looking for my help, little brother. I'm entitled to some answers." When He Tian said nothing, He Cheng sighed and pulled his phone out of his pocket again. "I've got Zhong Xiu's location. Qiu said Jun Katsu's phone is off but he'll keep an eye on it just in case he turns it back on."
"Alright," He Tian said, shifting in his seat. "Let's start there."
-------
Once again, He Tian didn't have a plan; he was just going to storm the place and lay his hands on the first fucker he saw. Zhong Xiu had beaten Mo Guan Shan to a pulp, and He Tian wasn't going to let him get away with it. Zhong Xiu had also tried to rape his Redhead and for that, there would be hell to pay.
Zhong Xiu's location was in a bar down town. He Tian got out the car, swung a metal pole over his shoulder that he had discovered in the back seat and walked towards the bar's doors. He Cheng followed closely behind silently. No one took any notice of the men walking through the bar - one with a metal pole, both with a purpose - as everyone was focused on the drunken states and laughing loudly.
They spotted Zhong Xiu when they turned a corner. He was sat at the end of the building at a large table surrounded by well-dressed men and women playing a card game. They were all laughing loudly and having a good time. No one noticed the two men approaching them until He Tian banged the pole on the table, glaring directly at Zhong Xiu.
Everyone jumped and Zhong Xiu's face when from surprised to pure dread so quickly, even He Tian was impressed. He Tian saw the dark bruising on Zhong Xiu's nose that ran under both eyes and He Tian smirked with satisfaction knowing his Redhead had been the cause. Zhong Xiu's wide eyes darted from He Tian to He Cheng to He Tian again. By this point, everyone that had been sat around the table had backed up to watch the scene before them, no one daring to interfere and stop the man with a metal pole.
"So, we finally meet, Zhong Xiu." He Tian said with barely concealed rage.
"H-he Tian... I-" Zhong Xiu flinched as the metal pole was smacked onto the table again.
"You seem scared," He Tian mocked, raising the corner of his mouth. "So you must know why I'm here." He Tian looked him up and down in disgust. "You seem pretty good. Just not feisty enough."
Zhong Xiu shivered as He Tian recited the words Zhong Xiu had used to describe Mo Guan Shan. "L-look, what happened wasn't-" He flinched again as He Tian banged the pole down again, harder this time.
He Tian's face was tight with fury, his eyes stone cold. "Not your, what? Fault?"
Zhong Xiu nodded frantically. "Exactly! Jun Katsu made me do it, I swear! He-"
The metal pole smacked the table for the fourth time. "Shut your mouth." He Tian hissed through his teeth. Slowly he moved around the table, dragging the pole across it. Zhong Xiu's panic visibly rose, as he walked the opposite way to He Tian. He then glanced at He Cheng who had stood still, watching Zhong Xiu.
Knowing he was trapped, He Tian could see that Zhong Xiu was going to make a run for it and knew he would risk He Cheng, who had nothing in his hands, rather than He Tian. After a quick glance at He Tian, Zhong Xiu bolted. Just as he reached the older brother, He Cheng stuck his foot out and tripped him up. Zhong Xiu cried out as he went down. People surrounding the commotion made noises of distress for the white haired male.
Zhong Xiu tried crawling away but didn't get very far when He Tian came over and forced the pole down on Zhong Xiu's back. He cried out in pain and whimpered in fear. "He Tian, please!"
Kneeling down, He Tian got close to his ear before whispering. "If Mo Guan Shan had begged, would you have let him go?" Before waiting for an answer, He Tian stood up and raised the pole.
"He Tian, wait!" He Cheng called. He Tian looked at his brother bewildered, the pole mid-air. He Cheng had a concerned look on his face as he showed He Tian his phone. "Jun Katsu. He's at your apartment."
He Tian's heart dropped again as he staggered backwards. "Guan Shan." He mumbled.
"Go, Tian. I've got him." He Cheng threw him the keys.
He Tian caught the keys and bolted out the door. He jumped in the car, throwing the metal pole into the passenger seat and fumbled a bit before he managed to get the keys into the ignition. "Shit! Shit! Come on!" Guan Shan needs me.
As he sped out onto the street, his phone vibrated in his pocket. Pulling it out, he received a text message from an unknown number.

He Tian cried out in anguish. If Jun Katsu hurt Guan Shan, there's no telling what kind of toll it would have on the boy. All He Tian knew was that he needed to get to Guan Shan.
