ABSOLUTE RESONANCE

Chapter 261: Mr. Chen (I)

When night fell, Liu, Ouyang and two Shadow Guardians went to the place mentioned on the note.

They arrived an hour earlier, because they needed to investigate first.

The reason why they went there only an hour earlier was because of the sincere remarks by those people.

Those people said that if they might be exposed if the guards stayed there for a long time for investigation. As long as they could go to the imperial court successfully, they would tell all they knew.

Therefore, Liu and Ouyang didn’t go there too earlier.

It wasn’t late at night and Liu didn’t understand why this time was fixed.

After an hour, Liu saw two figures approaching and it seemed that they were carrying something.

This place was close to a mass grave, so what they were carrying… was a corpse?

Liu became more vigilant.

At this moment, the two men who were carrying the corpse made a few gestures when they passed this area.

Those gestures meant that they should take action later.

Liu narrowed his eyes and decided to listen to them.

Liu and his men followed the two people to the mass grave not far away.

They hid in the dark, watching the two men bury the corpse.

At this time, two more people went over.

The two men who carried the corpses earlier looked at each other and then suddenly began to fight them.

The other two people were startled. “What are you doing? Do you want to betray our leader?”

At this time, the first two men began to shout, “Come out, heroes! I wrote the note!”

The other two people became more shocked and angrier. “You’ve even got helpers! Go to hell!”

The four of them began to fight. Liu didn’t go to help them at once, because he wanted to know how powerful those people were.

But it was obvious that the first two men were not as capable as the latter two.

At this time, Liu and Ouyang finally appeared, but the two Shadow Guardians were still hiding in the dark.

“Kill them. They can’t escape, or Mr. Chen will move to another place,” the first two men hurriedly said.

Liu narrowed his eyes and looked at Ouyang. Then, they did so.

Those two men were killed by Liu and Ouyang.

The first two men fell to the ground. “Let’s bury them.”

Liu said coldly, “Who are you?”

One man wiped his face. “We are locals. I’m Wang Tian and he is Li Yongxin.”

After he said that, the two of them quickly threw the dead bodies deep into the mass grave so that nobody could see.

Then, Wang and Li saluted Liu.

“We know you, Doctor Liu.”

“Oh?” Liu raised his eyebrows. “How do you know me?”

“You’re a well-known doctor. Of course we know you. Besides, Mr. Chen’s plans have been ruined by you several times, so he has long regarded you as a thorn in the flesh. As his servants, we know it clearly…”

That night, Liu and Ouyang were busy with their task outside. Long knew what they were doing and he had confidence in Liu and Ouyang, so he wasn’t worried about them.

Long didn’t have work, so after dinner, he planned to take a walk.

The person who had dinner and walked with him was naturally Shi.

But Shi was much more silent than before.

If Long didn’t open his mouth, Shi would never speak a word.

After a walk, Long took Shi’s hand and returned to the room.

Then, they bathed in the tub.

Long went into the tub cheekily, although he’d seen that Shi was reluctant.

If he didn’t try to be closer to Shi, who knew how long this situation might last?

Long thought that if a man wanted to get his lover back, he needed to pocket his pride sometimes. Otherwise, he wouldn’t make it.

Therefore, Long just squeezed into the tub.

More than that, when he was rubbing Shi’s back, he took the advantage and began to stroke Shi’s skin.

It seemed that Shi was surprised and he stiffened.

But Long didn’t give up.

“Qingzhou…” Long blew gently in Shi’s ear.

Shi turned his head and avoided that.

Long suddenly put his arms around Shi’s waist and pressed Shi’s body against the edge of the bathtub. They, he began to kiss Shi passionately…

Astonishment flickered in Shi’s eyes, but he didn’t refuse at last.

After a long time, Long finally let go of his lover satisfactorily. Long gave Shi a bath again and then put him on the bed. At night, Long slept very well.

Shi also fell asleep soon because of exhaustion.

When Long woke up the next morning, Shi disappeared again… Because Shi didn’t reject his love last night, Long was very happy, wondering if that meant Shi had softened and believed him.

Thinking like that, Long went out with expectation.

Shi was still practicing sword there and it seemed that he had been there for a while.

“Qingzhou.” Long called.

Shi didn’t stop, but just took a glance at Long. He looked as cold as the previous day.

Long felt disappointed. He thought that Shi had been convinced, but it seemed that he was just thinking too much…

Long froze when he saw Shi’s reaction. After a while, Shi put away his sword and Long also returned to normal.

It was expected to be a long-term process and the real Shi wasn’t a soft-hearted person, was he?

How could it be so easy to make Shi compromise?

It wasn’t that easy to make Shi fully trust him, either.

If he hadn’t made Shi fall in love with him in the past and he hadn’t become the most important person in Shi’s life, things wouldn’t have developed like this…

Thinking of this, Long became confident again.

After Shi finished practicing sword, Long brought him the handkerchief.

“Qingzhou, don’t move, I’ll wipe your face.”

“I’ll do it myself,” Shi said.

“No, let me,” Long said as he wiped Shi’s face.

Shi hesitated, but didn’t move at last.

Long breathed a sigh of relief and smiled inwardly. Of course, he wouldn’t show it to Shi.

After wiping Shi’s face carefully, Long said softly, “Qingzhou, I’ll ask servants to deliver breakfast.”

Shi nodded.

Long was glad that Shi responded to him, so he was more confident.
