She has no friends in B City now.

She has to deal with Fu Zhengzheng for work, so there is no problem for her to keep Fu Zhengzheng’s phone number. But they just showed their terrible relationship to Fu Wenhai in the evening. Now Fu Zhengzheng calls her. It seems unreasonable. If he finds it, he is sure to be suspicious.

Zhu Ting glimpses Fu Wenhai draw the curtains and come over from the corners of her eyes. She slowly opens the bag to take out the phone while racking her brains to figure out a solution.

She doesn’t get on well with Fu Zhengzheng, anyway. She is going to hang up the phone with the excuse that Fu Zhengzheng accuses her of scaring Zhu Linglong on the phone.

After making up her mind, Zhu Ting takes out her phone. Unexpectedly, her landlady’s number is shown on the phone. She sighs with relief secretly. She forgot there was such a person in her interpersonal network.

Once the call is connected, the landlady asks, “Zhu, are you at home?”

Zhu Ting answers at once, “I’m playing at my friend’s house. What’s up, please?”

“Nothing important. A downstairs neighbor called me today and said burglaries and wounding assaults were committed in the community these two nights. You are a girl. Remember to lock the door and windows inside in case something goes wrong.”

Zhu Ting pretends to be frightened, “Ah? So scary? I got it. Thanks for your reminding.”

Seeing Zhu Ting hangs up the phone in panic, Fu Wenhai asks concernedly, “What is so scary?”

Zhu Ting slips her cellphone into the bag, “My landlady told me that burglaries were committed in the community these two nights. Someone was even wounded. She told me to be careful. How nice she is!”

Fu Wenhai smiles, “It’s not only because she is nice. If something happens to you in the house that you rent from her, she will get into trouble too.”

“You are right.” Zhu Ting smiles, “It seems that I have to find a roommate. We can take care of each other and I can also pay less rent.”

She thinks Fu Wenhai will respond with a joke “How about moving to my house?”, but he just smiles, says “go to bed early” and then goes out.

Zhu Ting watches Fu Wenhai out. Then she hobbles to the door, closes and locks it inside, returns to the bed, takes the pajamas and then enters the bathroom.

She runs a bath and doesn’t takes off her clothes until the bathroom is full of hot gas. Then she takes a bath quickly and puts on the pajamas.

On the bed, she wants to send a text message to Fu Zhengzheng. But she doesn’t after thinking for a while. Then she puts her cellphone aside and lies down.

This is Fu Wenhai’s house. She isn’t sure if there is a camera in a corner of the room, so she didn’t dare to take off her clothes just now until the bathroom was full of hot gas.

It’s not easy for her to find an excuse to stay the night in Fu Wenhai’s house. Will she only spend the night sleeping? She isn’t resigned.

The police keep sending someone to follow him around, but they haven’t found anything unusual about him. Most of the people he deals with are his business friends. None of them is suspectable. He usually lives a secluded life and doesn’t like to go to a noisy place as he said to her.

Though the police know Rongsheng Group is closely related to him, they haven’t found any evidences that can prove their relationship. Even after the phones of Fu Wenhai and Tong Lean are monitored, they have no clue all the same.

Tipped off by someone, Ji Muxian once went to investigate an office in a cement plant affiliated to Rongsheng with his teammates. Unexpectedly, the office and the adjoining office building of a branch company of Wenhai Building Materials were demolished together the next day. It’s suspectable, but according to the field identification, a fire broke out indeed. The police had no evidences to prove anything, so they gave up resignedly.

Fu Wenhai shows his face in public and operates Wenhai Building Materials as usual. He doesn’t contact sinister gangs. In others’ eyes, he is a decent and honest businessman.

Ji Muxian even asked a computer whiz to hack into Fu Wenhai’s computer. It’s found that besides reading news on webpages and watching movies, he liked playing a massive online game, named “Win the World”. He reached a high level in the game. The police suspected it might be one of the ways for Fu Wenhai to contact others. But after sending someone to follow him in the game, they found nothing.

“After you become close to him, you must look for chances to check his computer.”

Zhu Ting lies on the bed and recalls the words Fu Zhengzheng told her. She doesn’t close her eyes and just stares at the ceiling.

While Zhu Ting stays awake, Fu Wenhai doesn’t fall asleep either. Now he is sitting on the bed. In front of him is placed a foldable computer desk. The interface of the game “Win the World” is shown on the laptop screen. Behind the laptop, the LCD TV on the wall is letting out a loud sound. It’s unknown whether he is playing the game or watching TV.

In fact, he isn’t playing the game nor watching TV. Instead, he is in a daze.

Every night, he sits like this, sometimes playing the game, sometimes watching TV. But most of the time, he sits here in a daze with his eyes open.

He fears to fall asleep.

Every night, only when he can’t stay awake and his eyes are closed by themselves can he barely sleep for a while. But he is often woken up with a start, because Li Xiaomeng always appears in his dream with her bloody face. Sometimes, she even throws a bloody baby in front of him and then laughs hideously.

Whenever he wakes up, all scenes in the dream remain clear and distinct in his mind. Sometimes, he hates his good memory. He doesn’t want to remember the nightmares at all.

He was hesitant to murmur Li Xiaomeng in the beginning, but he killed her cruelly at last. Because if he didn’t kill her, he would feel sorry for his father that died distressingly. He was much closer to his father than to his mother dying from a traffic accident long before. Though he grew up in the gang, his father prevented him from being involved in the gang business and told him not to take the path. Knowing he began to develop his own power secretly long before, his father stopped him for several times.

That day, his father said he was going to do a large business. After it was finished, he would give up his old business, take him abroad and marry him to a girl. Then they would enjoy their peaceful life together.

“Bear many grandsons for me. I will buy them the best toys and give them the most delicious food. They can sit around me and listen to the stories about my glorious youth.”

After so many years, he still remembers his father’s beaming expression, which contains his longing for the future happy life.

Because the trading volume was large, he warned his father for many times to guard against Li Ming. But his father didn’t take it to heart. He thought he was well-matched in strength with Li Ming, so Li Ming didn’t dare to do anything evil to him. Just because of his carelessness, he lost both his life and wealth. What’s worse, he even ended up without a whole corpse.

Thinking of it, Fu Wenhai’s feels heart-broken. He covers his head with hands and plucks his hair with strength, because he falls in love with his enemy’s daughter. Though he murdered her, he misses her all the time. Not a minute has gone by when his heart hasn’t been filled with guilt.

He feels sorry for his father. He feels guilty towards the woman that gave her heart to him.

He often feels perplexed. He doesn’t know what’s the point of his efforts to do so many things.

His father died. Even if he gets the coffer, his father can’t see it. Li Xiaomeng died too. Even if he is full of regret, she can’t feel it.

He feels as if he were a walking corpse in the world sometimes. He wears a thick mask every day, which is always decorated with a pleasant smile.

He hates who he is now.

He doesn’t want to live such a life.

When all is quiet at dead of night, he has assumed for enormous times that if he weren’t Wen Jiyun’s son and Li Xiaomeng weren’t Li Ming’s daughter, maybe they would be a happy couple.

However, without their fathers’ enmity, how could they meet, get familiar and fall in love?

Is this a cursed love?

Zhu Ting.

Fu Wenhai shivers. Zhu Ting’s lovely and innocent smiling face appears before his eyes instantly. She looks the same as Li Xiaomeng three years ago. They are both pure, pretty and angelic.

Li Xiaomeng doesn’t have a twin sister. He is sure about it.

Who is she? They have no blood relationship. Why do they look the same?

He even suspects Zhu Ting is sent by the police, and she is made to look the same as Li Xiaomeng after a plastic surgery to captivate him and thus achieve their aim.

It isn’t impossible.

Fu Wenhai smiles with a grimace.

He felt so good when he saw Zhu Ting at the first sight. It only took one second for him to sink into the feeling.

God knows how excited he was at that moment. He really thought she was a special gift from the God that gave him a chance to make up for it.

He regards her as a jug of poisonous wine. He knows he will die if he drinks it, but he can’t help swallowing it slowly, because her smile is so attractive. He tries to stop but cannot.

No matter who she is, so long as she isn’t Li Xiaomeng, his enemy’s daughter, he can love her and doesn’t need to bear any psychological pressure.

He can’t lose the woman, and he is willing to pay any cost.

She is in the next door. Perhaps she is lying on the bed he made by himself and mingling with the soft quilt.

He strokes the quilt placed aside as if he is feeling Zhu Ting’s pretty body. One of his body parts begins to change unexpectedly. He feels surprised and excited.

Since Li Xiaomeng’s death, his body has seemed to be dead too. Even with the most beautiful woman of Glamour Restaurant in his arms, he has no desire.

Maybe stimulated by the physical change, Fu Wenhai becomes impulsive. He pushes away the foldable computer desk, gets out of the bed quickly, strides to the door and opens it suddenly. Unexpectedly, a fist is swung at his chest…
