Chapter 33.2 - Friendship

Gu Chen patted Long Junhao’s face and said with a smile, “has your highness calmed down? If not, this peasant will help extinguish the rage for you, okay?”

Long Junhao snorted and pushed him away, “you have been exiled by the king.”

“Exiled at night only,” Gu Chen said patiently. “Besides, I’m still your main doctor.”

Well, I’ll solve the night problem later. For now, it’s good that I managed to stop this man from doing something dangerous.

“Then you better get out at night.” Long Junhao warned before getting out of bed to rummage through the boxes. He calmly moved out a box and placed it on the ground in front of Gu Chen’s puzzled eyes, and then began to laugh. He laughed without caring about his image and looked almost crazy.

“…” Gu Chen opened his mouth and said weakly, “Hao Hao, calm down, be good and calm down, what’s the matter, don’t laugh like that.”

Long Junhao laughed until he was rolling on the floor and it was a long time before he restrained himself a little. He wiped his tears, hummed a little song and walked over to open the box slowly.

Gu Chen’s face immediately froze, and then began to twist.

Long Junhao laughed and held the box in front of him like a baby, “peasant, you didn’t expect this, right? Your prince has a backup, hahaha…”

“…” Gu Chen silently held his forehead and murmured, “I miscalculated, I really miscalculated…”

Long Junhao, who had laughed enough, hummed a tune and sat on the floor to start making the explosives again. Gu Chen sat silently on the bed and watched, wondering in his mind how he could throw those things out again.

While Long Junhao was making it, he chatted with Gu Chen, “hey, I just learnt that Luo Yi and Li Xuan were friends. Was he also your friend?”

“I guess,” Gu Chen nodded, “but we weren’t really close at that time. Li Xuan had a good relationship with him because of his family and I was a friend of Li Xuan, so we knew each other.”

Long Junhao nodded and said, “then you should have a good relationship with Su Cong. After all, you guys are partners.”

“Strictly speaking, it’s not him but his brother,” Gu Chen said. “Li Xuan and I were good friends with his brother so we knew Su Cong through him.”

“Wait…” Long Junhao stopped and looked up at him. “Su Cong has a brother?”

“Yes,” Gu Chen nodded, “can’t he have a brother?”

“That’s not what I meant. I haven’t heard Su Cong mention him even though I’ve known him for so long. Oh… but other than singing, he seldom says anything too. But in my memory, it seems that no one has ever come to see him,” Long Junhao was very confused. “Does his brother know he’s here? Does his brother know whether he’s really crazy or fake crazy? And… What’s the relationship between him and his brother, bad?”

“It’s their family matter so it’s troublesome to explain. About their relationship…” Gu Chen thought for a moment, “I think it’s…pretty okay…”

“…” Long Junhao asked, “can’t you give a definite answer?”

Gu Chen helplessly said, “it’s mainly because Su Qing is too busy that’s why he couldn’t visit but since there was a gunfight here, he should come soon.”

Long Junhao was surprised, “Su Qing? His brother’s name?”

Gu Chen nodded and was about to say something when he heard a roar slowly getting closer from above his head. He waved his hand, “hear that? That’s probably him.”

“Why is he coming here?”

“Well,” Gu Chen smiled, “I guess he came to ensure the safety of his brother. Why? Do you want to see him?”

Long Junhao looked at the things on the ground and shook his head decisively. “Forget it, I’ll continue to make this.” These were the only resources he had left.

Gu Chen followed him and continued to look for opportunities silently.

It was then, Long Junhao asked again, “what about your relationship with Lei Yan?”

Gu Chen immediately raised his eyebrows, “why are you asking that?”

Long Junhao shook his head, “aren’t I preparing to blow this place up so that I can go to him? Of course, I have to investigate the boss’s character in advance.”

“Didn’t you say he was bad?”

“What do you know,” Long Junhao continued, “come, your prince will teach you his life philosophy. Those who achieve great things must more or less be a little black-hearted. You can’t do anything if you don’t have a black heart. You’ve seen those righteous heroes on TV, right? Let me tell you, they’re stupid. If they fell into the hands of your prince, they would have died many times and without a speck of ash left.”

Gu Chen sighed helplessly, “… But why do you want to kill them?”

“Ah? Oh… That’s…” Long Junhao murmured and suddenly said, “eh, that’s besides the point. The point is that there’s nothing wrong with being black-hearted.”

Gu Chen sighed again, “that’s not the point either. The point is that you dug into Lei Yan’s information. Do you think he will spare you? Even if you don’t remember, he will send someone to brainwash you and turn you into a dog to keep. Well, you’re the one who said it. Being black-hearted is also good.”

Long Junhao’s expression stiffened for a moment and suddenly wilted. He decided to throw this thought aside. Even though he wasn’t the one who did it… He sniffed and whispered, “your prince transmigrated over here… That thing has nothing to do with me.”

“You’re right,” Gu Chen nodded approvingly and asked, “but do you think he will believe it?”

Long Junhao sniffed again and stopped talking.

“Let me tell you this. Lei Yan is a resilient person who will seize any opportunity,” Gu Chen said slowly, “his every action is purposeful and will never be useless. Take Yu Ao for example. He wants to get involved inside here but purposely went to He Tianfan. Why? Because in order to brainwash you, He Tianfan’s help is needed. Therefore, Yu Ao’s purpose is not only to observe you, but to also persuade He Tianfan. And after he successfully persuades him, they will start making their move.”

Long Junhao subconsciously shrunk back and thought for a moment, “then it should be all right,” he said, “it’ll be more surprising if He Tianfan actually listens to Yu Ao. Eh, speaking about them… I remember He Tianfan wanted to eat the little shiitake and then Yu Ao came out, and then Yu Ao went back… Hm, I haven’t seen them both for a while now? Even Li Xuan has gotten up from his bed.”

Seeing his eyes shining, Gu Chen asked, “well… are you going to find them?”

Long Junhao rubbed his chin and smiled, “should I not?”

“…” Gu Chen silently stood in tribute for Dr. He.
