Chapter 967: Taking Medicine (2)

“Right now, I don’t dare make any promises. We must wait for all the test results to come through.”

After the doctor finished replying to the wet nurse, he mentioned another point. “The young master has to be transferred to the isolation unit. We’ll now start to isolate him to avoid other infections.”

…

Han Zhifan must’ve been close to the hospital. After the doctor’s brief explanation of Hanhan’s condition, Han Zhifan showed up before Hanhan could even be moved into the isolation unit.

Han Zhifan hadn’t talked to Dr. Luo when Cheng Han was sent to the isolation unit.

To avoid too many people from entering the isolation unit and Cheng Han getting an infection, Dr. Luo arranged for professional nurses to take care of Cheng Han. He temporarily prohibited Han Zhifan, Cheng Weiwan, the wet nurse, and the housekeeper from going in to visit him.

Dr. Luo was Han Zhifan’s family doctor. He was fully responsible for Cheng Han while he was at the hospital. He briefly described Cheng Han’s condition to Cheng Weiwan and the others. When Han Zhifan arrived and after Dr. Luo settled Cheng Han into the isolation unit, he then fully explained Cheng Han’s condition. He even briefly mentioned possible diseases and future treatment.

“Even though we haven’t performed an in-depth examination, according to my experience working many years in the medical field, the young master should have regenerative aplastic anemia. If this is confirmed to be the case, the only way to cure it would be to have a bone marrow transplant. We’ll need to conduct pathological tests and find a match for the young master’s bone marrow in storage. Mr. Han, you must understand that the chances of finding a successful match is very low. This method is like finding a needle in a haystack…”

Han Zhifan saw that Dr. Luo hadn’t finished and asked, “Besides the bone marrow transplant, is there any other way?”

“Yes, and the success rate is a lot higher than the bone marrow transplant…” said Dr. Luo. Then he stopped and glanced at Cheng Weiwan and Han Zhifan. After he met Han Zhifan’s impatient gaze, he continued to say, “…Mr. Han, this method is for you and the young master’s biological mother to have another baby.”

Have another baby?

All of a sudden, Han Zhifan furrowed his brows.

Dr. Luo vaguely sensed Han Zhifan’s annoyance. He instinctively paused then continued by saying, “By having another baby, it’s not to use the second baby’s bone marrow for the young master. It’s to use the blood from their umbilical cord to cure over eighty blood disorders. Even if my early presumption was incorrect, after getting the results back in a few days from the in-depth examinations on the young master tomorrow, the blood from the umbilical cord could cure other blood-related diseases. What I mean is, Mr. Han… If you want to save the young master, you can start preparing now for…”

Before Dr. Luo could finish his sentence, Cheng Weiwan, who was standing nearby in silence, blurted, “That’s not necessary…”

That’s not necessary?

A row of people heard those three words, turned their heads simultaneously, and looked over at Cheng Weiwan in confusion.

Does that mean she doesn’t want to save her son?

Thinking back to what she said at the supermarket yesterday, Han Zhifan’s annoyed heart instantly went up in flames.

He practically didn’t hesitate to turn his head and gaze over at Cheng Weiwan, who he hadn’t looked at since he showed up. He was just about to get angry at her when she suddenly looked at Dr. Luo and quietly spoke up again. “…When I gave birth to Hanhan, I especially spent money to preserve the blood from the umbilical cord.”

The words on Han Zhifan’s tongue abruptly paused.

The preserved umbilical cord blood means Hanhan could just use that and I don’t need to have another baby with her?

Just now, he hadn’t even decided if he wanted to have another child with her to save their son, but now that he didn’t have to, he saved himself the trouble. So why did he feel a little disappointed?

“That’s perfect! Miss Cheng, we might need to trouble you to contact that hospital. As soon as we confirm the young master’s condition, we can immediately arrange the operation.” Dr. Luo looked ecstatic when he realized that the trickiest problem was solved. After he finished leaving instructions for Cheng Weiwan, he turned his head and looked at Han Zhifan. “Mr. Han, the young master will be looked after by professionals, so you needn’t worry too much. If there’s nothing else, you can head back and get some rest. I’ll probably be busy over here, so I won’t keep you any longer.”

Han Zhifan nodded gently then said, “Thank you. I’ll come a little earlier tomorrow.” He glanced at the housekeeper and the wet nurse. Without even bothering with Cheng Weiwan, he strode right to the elevators.

The driver was waiting downstairs. When he saw Han Zhifan, the wet nurse, and the housekeeper stepping out, he immediately got out of the car and opened the car doors.

After they got into the car, the driver grabbed the steering wheel and was just about to step on the gas when a figure appeared. It rushed out of the hospital in a hurry and stood in front to stop the car.

Chapter 968: Taking Medicine (3)

The driver’s heart shuddered in fright as he abruptly slammed on the brakes.

Naturally, the car full of people jolted forward.

The driver was afraid he hit someone, so he didn’t wait to straighten up before raising his head to look through the windscreen.

The driver knew the person who was blocking the car. It was Miss Cheng.

Fortunately, his reactions were fast as he was still an inch away from hitting her.

The driving secretly let out a sigh of relief and turned his head.

Due to the emergency brake, Han Zhifan didn’t look too good. The driver sounded a lot more serious as he spoke. “Mr. Han, it’s Miss Cheng…”

After Han Zhifan heard what the driver said, his face changed. He didn’t even shift his body and glanced right ahead of him.

It was rather quiet in the car.

Outside the car, Cheng Weiwan stood in front of the car with no intention of moving aside.

The driver couldn’t drive, so all he could do was speak again. “Mr. Han, Miss Cheng. She…”

This time, before the driver could finish, Han Zhifan furiously said, “Can’t you go around her?”

The driver hurriedly said “yes” after being yelled at. Then he quickly stepped on the gas and reversed some distance away. Just when he turned the steering wheel with the aim of going around Cheng Weiwan, she took a few steps towards the direction the car was heading. Once again, she stood in front of the car, blocking its path.

The driver stepped on the emergency brakes again.

This time, the driver didn’t ask Han Zhifan for instructions and continued to reverse. After changing directions, Cheng Weiwan continued to block the path as though she was going up against the car.

They went back and forth like that for a while while the car made more emergency brakes. Sitting in the back seat, Han Zhifan seemed to have completely lost his patience as he abruptly pushed the door open and got out of the car.

“What the hell do you want?!”

Following his outraged roar, he shut the car door then strode over to Cheng Weiwan.

He looked coldly into her eyes then without the same fury as before, he said with a slightly menacing tone, “After repeatedly blocking my car, what the hell do you want?!”

Cheng Weiwan tightly pursed her lips and softly cried, “I want to see Hanhan tomorrow.”

Han Zhifan knew what Cheng Weiwan meant. For her to risk her life and stop his car, she wanted to sleep with him tonight in accordance with their previous exchange, just to see her son tomorrow…

As that thought flashed across Han Zhifan’s mind, the things Cheng Weiwan said at the supermarket yesterday suddenly re-entered his mind.

“I have to spend money for a gigolo. This way, he’s knocking on my door, and I don’t have to spend money…”

“This time, I didn’t think too much of our exchange and took him for a gigolo meant for passing the time, that’s all.”

Han Zhifan squinted then a second later, he asked bluntly, “So you want to sleep with me tonight?”

This time, although Cheng Weiwan initiated the exchange, she didn’t quite know how to respond to him when she heard his reply.

“Nothing to say? Then that’s a no?” Han Zhifan chuckled then turned around and walked back to the car door.

After he took just two steps, Cheng Weiwan cried out.

Han Zhifan turned his head and looked over at Cheng Weiwan.

Cheng Weiwan knew he was doing it on purpose just so she could admit it. Even though it was humiliating, she gritted her teeth at the thought of Hanhan. With a quiet “Yes,” she nodded gently.

After hearing her reply, Han Zhifan burst out laughing.

Chapter 969: Taking Medicine (4)

After Han Zhifan heard her response, he burst out laughing. He turned around and walked up to her with a smile on his face as he stared at her for a while. He bent over slightly and drew closer to her face. “Did you think simply wanting it could make it happen?”

With that said, his gaze turned cold as his tone of voice became cool and sinister. “Let me tell you something. You want it, but I don’t. I’m not in the mood tonight. Even if you stripped yourself naked and stopped in front of me, I wouldn’t even be willing to give you another glance!”

After Han Zhifan spoke his harsh words, he straightened up. Without lingering another moment, he turned right around and headed for the car.

Cheng Weiwan instinctively reached out and pulled on his arm.

Before she could forcefully stop him from walking away, he abruptly raised his arm and swung it backward.

At the great force of his swing, Cheng Weiwan took a few steps back and fell to the ground.

When Han Zhifan heard this, he didn’t even glance back. He opened the door right away and got into the car then commanded the driver: “Drive!”

The driver hurriedly stepped on the gas, turned the steering wheel, and quickly drove out of the hospital as he stared at Cheng Weiwan climbing up from the ground through the rearview mirror.

Enroute, the expression on Han Zhifan’s face looked frighteningly cold as though it had frozen over.

He leaned back in his seat and tightly pursed his lips as he held his pose without moving an inch.

HIs silence made everyone afraid to make a sound. The atmosphere in the car felt incredibly awkward.

As they drew closer to the villa, everybody thought they would finally be free before the housekeeper in the front passenger seat noticed something with her sharp eyesight. There, beneath the streetlight in front of the villa, was a skinny and small frame crouched on the ground.

Isn’t that Miss Cheng who Mr. Han pushed to the ground at the hospital?

How did she reach the villa gates faster than us?

Just as the housekeeper was deep in thought, Cheng Weiwan must’ve heard the sound of the car approaching because she turned her head to look over in their direction.

After she confirmed it was Han Zhifan’s car, Cheng Weiwan immediately got up and walked over to the gates.

Just as the car turned and was about to drive into the villa’s courtyard, they were forced to stop.

The driver and housekeeper’s eyes met. “Mr. Han, Miss Cheng is blocking the villa gates, so the car can’t enter the courtyard…” said the housekeeper daringly.

Han Zhifan didn’t say anything but he turned his head and stared right ahead at Cheng Weiwan through the windshield.

The inside of the car was frighteningly quiet.

In contrast to the atmosphere while they were driving, it was even more terrifyingly dull.

In no more than two short minutes, the people in the car couldn’t take it. The housekeeper moved her lips, wanting to remind Han Zhifan again while he stared at Cheng Weiwan in front of the car. He then gently blinked and withdrew his gaze. “All of you, get out first,” he said with a dull voice.

When they heard him, they sprung out of the car.

The only one left in the car was Han Zhifan. He continued to sit in the car for a while then he pushed the door open and got out.

When he walked around to the front of the car and turned to face Cheng Weiwan, who was blocking the path, he exclaimed, “Get in.” Then he pulled open the driver’s seat door and got in.

Cheng Weiwan got in, but before she could properly sit inside, Han Zhifan turned the steering wheel and quickly drove out of the neighborhood.

After the car drove some distance away, Cheng Weiwan vaguely figured out where Han Zhifan was going.

Chapter 970: Taking Medicine (5)

After the car drove some distance away, Cheng Weiwan vaguely figured out where Han Zhifan was going.

Her hand instinctively clutched onto her sleeves.

After about five to six minutes, the familiar neighborhood entered Cheng Weiwan’s field of view.

It was really just as she thought. Han Zhifan was really taking her to Yongyi Garden.

The place where they spent all their beautiful moments together; the place of all her nightmares.

Cheng Weiwan’s fingers tightly clutching her sleeves couldn’t help but tighten.

When the car reached the bottom of the familiar building, there wasn’t a drop of blood in Cheng Weiwan’s face. It was drained completely of blood.

Through the car window, she stared at the traffic light in front of the apartment building as her fingers started to tremble.

Even though two years had passed, she clearly recollected all their old memories. In the past, she stood there night after night and experienced pain and suffering in her heart.

The car came to a steady stop. Han Zhifan didn’t say a word and got out of the car first.

Cheng Weiwan sat in the car for a while before she pushed the car door open with her trembling fingers.

Han ZHifan noticed she got out of the car but didn’t say anything as usual. He took the stairs and walked into the apartment building.

Cheng Weiwan caught up one step at a time.

As the elevator got closer to the floor of Han Zhifan’s apartment, Cheng Weiwan’s fingernails dug deeper into her palms.

The elevator doors opened. Han Zhifan walked up to the door and entered the passcode. After the door was unlocked, Cheng Weiwan trembled as she stepped out of the elevator.

Someone must’ve cleaned the apartment every day because it was very clean; there wasn’t a single layer of dust.

The furniture inside was exactly the same; nothing had changed.

Past memories came rushing back to Cheng Weiwan as she stood at the door alone.

She didn’t like to cook but for him, she was willing to learn. Time after time, he cooked for her in the kitchen of this apartment.

Aside from their first time in the hotel, every time they had sex, it was in this very apartment; in the bedroom, the living room, the dining room… these were all places they had sex.

And it was in this apartment where he learned she was pregnant. After he asked her how many weeks pregnant she was, he then told her to get an abortion.

She clearly remembered just how flustered she felt that night. She’d never been so afraid of losing him and losing their child. She begged quietly and she even said she was willing to have nothing to do with him as long she didn’t have to abort the child. However, he showed no signs of backing down and mercilessly told her that from the very beginning, he didn’t get close to her because he loved her. In actuality, it was because she was Cheng Weiguo’s daughter, so he was willing to sleep with her to get her pregnant and force her to abort the child…

“Go shower!” After pouring a glass of red wine, Han Zhifan furrowed his brows as he noticed that Cheng Weiwan was standing at the door and hadn’t walked in.

Cheng Weiwan quickly stopped reminiscing and lifted her eyes to look over at Han Zhifan.

“I don’t have a lot of time to waste on you. You know where the shower is,” yelled Han Zhifan coldly when his gaze met hers. He walked over to the sofa with his wine glass and elegantly sat down.

Cheng Weiwan stayed by the door for some time before she summoned the courage to walk into the apartment. Then she removed her shoes at the entrance, held her breath, and walked into the ensuite bathroom of the master bedroom.

Chapter 971: Taking Medicine (6)

Cheng Weiwan dawdled for a long time in the bathroom before pulling the door open and walking out.

Han Zhifan, who was tasting wine in the living room, had walked into the master bedroom. He was standing in front of the tall windows near the balcony, smoking.

He didn’t look back, but judging by the sound of movement from the bedroom, he could tell that she had come out. “Come here,” he said in a flat voice.

Cheng Weiwan stood at the bathroom door for a while before taking little steps over to him.

He must’ve been waiting impatiently. After he sensed her breathing, he put out the cigarette between his fingers, turned around and reached out to grab her wrist. He dragged her to the tall windows then pressed his body up against hers, lowered his head and covered her lips.

Cheng Weiwan was far too familiar with this picture.

The final time she appeared outside his apartment building, he brought a woman back home with him. She wasn’t sure how she felt at the time, and she knew she had no right to be upset, yet she was so heartbroken that night she couldn’t breathe.

She knew what bringing a woman home to spend the night meant. She crouched outside the apartment, unwilling to leave but wanting to give up. Later, she saw with her own eyes how he pushed the woman up against the tall windows. The picture of them kissing intensely was identical to the way he kissed her. At the time, she was so heartbroken that she felt a faint pain in her pregnant belly, so she forced herself to leave.

She thought he did it on purpose.

He did everything he did to her with the other woman.

His goal was to let her know that she was no different from the random women he brought back home.

They no longer had anything to do with each other, nor would they in the future. It really was fine for him to treat her with this kind of mentality… But as Han Zhifan kissed her deeper and he tore more of her clothes off, the thought of him having sex with other women came to mind.

Did he treat the woman he brought back that night just like this?

Did he also kiss her with this kind of force? Was he also this rough tearing her clothes off?

Two years had passed and Cheng Weiwan thought she wouldn’t care too much. However, when those images appeared more clearly in her mind, she still couldn’t take it.

She truly wanted to endure it with gritted teeth. If she endured this, she could be with Hanhan, but she overestimated her endurance. She simply couldn’t pretend she wasn’t imagining him doing the things he did to the woman he brought back to this room.

Her body trembled like crazy as she forced herself to control her emotions. When he was about to enter her body, she lost it and started to murmur and her limbs started to fight back. “Let go of me! I don’t want to do it anymore. I don’t want to anymore. Let go of me…”

He ignored what she said and continued to torment her.

All she could do was think about running away from this torture. She was afraid that if she moved too late, she would break down here. She knew she couldn’t struggle out of his grip, so she helplessly opened her mouth and violently bit his shoulder.

She bit particularly hard, causing his body to freeze with a piercing pain. In the next second, he pulled his arm away reflexively, raised his hand, and slapped her face.

Chapter 972: Taking Medicine (7)

She bit particularly hard, causing his body to freeze with the piercing pain. The next second, he pulled his arm away reflexively, raised his hand, and slapped her face.

But before his hand fell, he caught a glimpse of her face.

Her eyes were shut, her eyelashes were trembling like crazy, and she had a pained expression on her face. She looked as though she had been through the most grueling experience.

Han Zhifan furrowed his brows. His hand stopped in midair against his will for some reason.

Her lips moved endlessly as she muttered broken words.

Her voice was low. He listened for a short while before realizing what she was muttering about.

“Let go of me! I don’t want to do it anymore! I don’t want to anymore! Let go of me…”

Don’t want to anymore?

It wasn’t clear if it was because of the immense pain of her bite, the intense desire he had for her body, or because of her abrupt interruption, but anger rose in his heart. All of a sudden, it felt like oil had been poured over him, igniting roaring flames.

“Don’t want to anymore! I don’t want to anymore! Don’t want to anymore…”

The words she repeatedly mumbled drilled endlessly into his ears.

Han Zhifan became even more furious the more he listened. Without another thought, he roared, “Shut up!”

It seemed like she hadn’t heard what he said as she tightly creased her brows. With a trembling body, she repeatedly murmured those two sentences.

Han Zhifan really wanted to slap her right on the face. However, his arm didn’t listen as though it didn’t belong to him.

The more she stayed like that, the greater the anger in his chest became. As though he was fighting himself, he tried to push his arm down hard. Seeing that his hand had stopped about twenty centimeters from her face and he couldn’t do it, he suddenly turned his hand into a fist. He violently smashed the glass window in front of her.

Following a loud “Clink!”, cracks appeared in the glass.

Pieces of glass stabbed the back of his hand, but it didn’t hurt him at all. When he heard her uttering the five words “I don’t want to anymore!”, it seemed like he suddenly went crazy as he dragged her arm to the side of the bed and slammed her into it. Then he pressed his body on top of her heavily.

“You don’t want to anymore? Did you think you have the right to talk? Don’t forget that I proposed the exchange. Even if we stop midway, I’m the only one with the right to call it off!”

Han Zhifan yelled at her through gritted teeth while spreading both her legs apart. He used all his force to barge into her world.

“You get what you want and call it quits when you don’t want it? What do you take me for? Tonight, I didn’t want to touch you, but you pestered me all the way from the hospital till I got home. I’m just pitying you and giving you charity!”

Han Zhifan was really angry. He was so angry that his body trembled and was shockingly forceful as he took her.

He unleashed all his anger upon her, but he thought this wasn’t enough punishment by far. His words became more cutting.

“Do you really think I cherish sleeping with you? I’m just bored of sleeping with those women who are so forward. All of a sudden, I wanted to change it up, but… you were so boring and acted like a dead fish. So many years later, you’re the same as before. I got bored sleeping with you two days ago!”

“Your body’s just dry, flat, and unresponsive. It’s practically revolting. Let me tell you right now – you’re just a sex doll to me!”

He said increasingly harsher words until he practically gritted his teeth while saying the last four words.

Chapter 973: Taking Medicine (8)

Don’t they say people don’t get angry with people they don’t care about?

So why am I so angry?

If she wants to quit halfway and I kick her out, if I never have to see her again, if she doesn’t want to see her son again, wouldn’t that be just perfect?

Besides, it’s torture for her as a mother to see her son’s current condition.

But of all the methods to use, did I have to choose the lowest method?

Was it because I’ve never touched another woman aside from her? Was it because I haven’t had sex since she left two years ago? Is that why when she said she doesn’t want to do it anymore, I couldn’t stop midway?

Han Zhifan suddenly stopped his savage words.

He shut his eyes and waited for a really, really long time before the searing feeling completely disappeared.

After he snapped to reality, he realized she was trembling violently beneath him. He furrowed his brows slightly and slowly opened his eyes to see all the tears on her face.

He had no idea when she started crying, but from the wet strands of hair by her ears, he knew she must’ve cried for a long time.

Even now, her tears still rolled down her face.

It wasn’t as if he hadn’t seen women crying, but in that very moment, his lips couldn’t help but purse at the sight of her crying face.

Why’s she crying? She was the one who accepted this kind of deal!

He should be angry at her, but he couldn’t lash out at her in the slightest.

He glared at her endless flow of tears. All of sudden, he turned and got out of bed. “Get out!” he yelled while pointing at the door.

Her body trembled softly when she heard what he said then she continued to lay in bed for a while. She eventually sat up and got out of bed.

She lowered her head, limped and walked over to the tall windows. She picked up her clothes and put one item on after another. Then without saying a single word, she left his bedroom.

He was the only one left in the room, but it was filled entirely with her scent.

He was like a statue as he stared at the big, disheveled bed. After looking at it for a long time, he picked up his bathrobe and put it on. Then he grabbed a box of cigarettes and walked over to the tall windows.

She still hadn’t left the building.

He stared at the bottom of his building and took big drags of his cigarette.

When the cigarette was about to be finished, her silhouette finally appeared outside the building.

He thought he had been too heavy-handed earlier. He must’ve torn her body.

She probably wanted to leave as soon as possible, but she looked like she was in too much pain because she stopped after taking just two steps.

She stood on the spot for a while. Without raising her feet to leave, her gaze fell upon the spot beneath the street light when she sneakily watched over him at night right after she was dumped.

Is she thinking about how she stood there on the lookout?

She stared for a really long time then she lowered her head.

He thought it meant she was going to go, but he never imagined she would actually open her bag and pull out a pack of medicine. She opened it, put a pill in her mouth and swallowed it without any water.

Chapter 974: Taking Medicine (9)

Han Zhifan couldn’t help but pinch the cigarette between his fingers even more tightly.

What’s with her? She’s taking medicine? Is she sick? He had seen her quite often in the past few days, but he couldn’t tell if she was sick.

Han Zhifan instinctively looked back and stared at the disheveled bed behind him then he started to gradually furrow his brows.

We just had sex, so… is she… taking emergency contraceptive pills?

If they hadn’t accidentally had Hanhan, he wouldn’t have really wanted to have children.

In the past when they had sex, he didn’t use contraceptives in hopes of exacting revenge by getting her pregnant and forcing her to get an abortion.

But the past few times, he didn’t plan on not using contraceptives. He must’ve forgotten to use contraceptives out of habit.

It was a good idea she remembered to take the pill after sex. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if she got pregnant…

It was strange to talk about it since he had become a stranger to her already. He wasn’t himself in the slightest. Many things that he wanted to happen to her had panned out, but he didn’t feel the slightest bit of joy or relaxation. Also, he felt an unspeakable dull and stifled sensation.

He let out a sigh of relief after she took the emergency contraceptive pill. However, he felt an unspeakable annoyance.

She was afraid that if she had another child, their relationship would be ambiguous. Was that why she took the emergency contraceptive pill?

Han Zhifan raised the cigarette to the corner of his lips then took a hard drag. As a beautiful cloud of smoke sprayed out of his nostrils, he watched her still standing outside the building for a while. She raised her feet then swayed as she walked towards the gates of the residential area.

She walked very slowly like she was going to fall to the ground.

Han Zhifan stared at the silhouette of her slowly disappearing then he suddenly stopped smoking and started daydreaming.

He didn’t return to his senses until her silhouette had disappeared from sight.

It was already deep in the night. He was the only one in the apartment and his surroundings were unusually silent.

He was so quiet that he could hear his own heart racing.

After who knew how long, he understood the message from his throbbing heart: When he watched her leave, he was actually worried about her; he was worried she would trip, worried she wouldn’t be able to go home safely in her condition and worried she would faint en route…

She was the biological daughter of the culprit who killed Lili! How could he worry about her… He should hate her and loathe her!

The more he thought about this, the more flustered Han Zhifan’s heart became. He didn’t know what he was afraid of, but his fingers trembled and the cigarette fell right by his feet.

He figured he couldn’t think like that any longer. To him, it was simply torture. He should find a few friends to party with and completely wipe everything about her from his mind.

With that thought, Han Zhifan raised his feet and stamped out the cigarette by his foot. After turning around and walking into the bathroom, he took a shower, got changed then called his usual bunch of friends he hung out with. After he looked for his car keys, he leisurely walked out of the apartment, went downstairs and drove towards the gates of the residential area.

By the time he made his fourth call, Han Zhifan happened to reach the gates.

He single-handedly turned the steering wheel, made a turn onto the empty road and stepped on the gas.

The call went through and the groggy sound of his friend’s voice came through. “Master Han, it’s the middle of the night. What’s up?”
