Chapter 18

The next morning, the weather was sunny and the sun shone through the window into the bedroom, illuminating the wide and neatly made bed.

On the snow-white double bed laid two young men, one who was apparently so afraid of the cold and fully wrapped himself with the whole blanket while the other one was downright casual and only covered himself with a thin blanket on his waist, stretching his body feeling content.

Although they were separated by an arm’s length but their hands were gently clasped together as they were sleeping. The posture of the ten fingers interlocking seemed somewhat ambiguous.

An Luo slowly opened his eyes and as he was practically sobered for a while, his body immediately tensed up.

He was keenly aware of the changes in surroundings — the soft bed, the warm yellow walls, the exquisite chandelier, the military uniform hanging on the rack — this was clearly not his bedroom at home, this place was very unfamiliar.

Waking up to a new bedroom was scary enough, but the worst was the fact that there was another person in the bed. Warm even breathe against the back of his neck and it was obvious that person was asleep as well.

It couldn’t be … he had another rebirth to somewhere else again ba?

An Luo was stunned, stiffly turned his head and suddenly saw the face of the young man sleeping very close to him —

Without the usual oppressive gaze to people, his sharpness was much lessened when he was sleeping, and a few of his dark hair strands covered up his eyebrows, his pointed nose and firm lips made him look very handsome as he was asleep. He could directly become a cover model if a photographer had taken his picture at this time, there was completely no additional work needed.

Unfortunately, at this time, An Luo wasn’t in the mood to appreciate his brother’s good appearance. He looked at An Ze who was sleeping beside him but he only felt disgust as well as repulsion in his heart.

He had never slept with anyone, for him the bedroom and the bed were like a heart protected by thick outer shell, a private territory where no one was allowed to invade.

How could An Ze sleep by his side?

Even holding his hand?!

Normally, if someone was near his bedroom, An Luo would have been alert enough to wake up. But last night, when he was moved to another bedroom, he didn’t even notice it at all, and didn’t even have any nightmares throughout the night, and for him who hadn’t been sleeping well, to be fast asleep like that was basically impossible.

The only explanation was the effects of a drug.

Only after taking sleeping pills would he sleep so deeply without any dreams .

… Was he had been drugged?

An Luo slightly frowned, he didn’t think that the him who lost his memory and got both of his legs crippled would be of any use, so what was An Ze’s purpose in drugging him and taking him away?

Seeing An Ze lightly moved his eyelids as if he was about to wake up, An Luo immediately closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Regardless of his intentions, An Luo didn’t want to start a confrontation with this young brother just yet. A verbal fight was completely unnecessary and to use force was clearly a disadvantage for him, and one shouldn’t make a foolish struggle in this kind of situation, what should be done at this moment was to stay calm and wait to see what would happen next.

An Luo quickly calmed down and enabled himself to maintain the even breathing that a sleeping person should have.

Sure enough An Ze did wake up, there was a rustling noise of someone seemed to get dressed then a muffled voice in his ear, because he was just waken up, he said with a hoarse voice, “Gege … are you awake?”

An Luo didn’t answer.

An Ze was silent for a moment then leaned closer to gently kiss An Luo’s eyelids, “If you’re not awake then sleep a little longer, it’s still early.”

After that he conveniently got dressed and walked to the window to make a phone.

As if afraid of waking up the person on the bed, he went to the small balcony attached to the bedroom to make the call and turned down his voice. Fortunately, An Luo’s hearing was so good and as he pricked up his ears he could vaguely hear the general idea on what they were talking about.

An Ze’s phone call went directly to Hua An Corp.

The one who answered the phone was the front desk assistant, a woman with a very straightforward voice: “Hello, this is Hua An Corp., may I ask who is this?”

An Ze whispered, “Help me to connect it to the president’s office, this is An Ze.”

There was a quick redial on the other side, “President An, the Fourth Young Master is looking for you …”

After two beeps, the call was transferred, An Yu Dong picked up the phone and directly asked, “What is it An Ze? Why do you call me early in the morning and not to my cell phone?”

An Ze calmly said, “Last night gege was taken by me to the military area, I’m informing you.”

An Yu Dong was very shocked, “What did you take him to the military area for?!”

An Ze said, “I found a bug in his bedroom and if I’m not wrong then there might be a bug on your phone too. This is the reason why I call you from the office directly.”

“…….” An Yu Dong was silent.

An Ze whispered, “It wasn’t safe for gege to stay at home so I decided to take him here and personally take care of him.”

An Yu Dong said, “You mean, someone in the family is trying to harm him?”

An Ze nodded, “His last disappearance was unusual, we also haven’t received any extortion calls from the robbers and so far the police investigation was still completely clueless, do you think that this will be a simple kidnapping case?”

“…….” An Yu Dong frowned.

“If someone hadn’t happened to pass by and found gege who was injured then perhaps he would have died. Those people obviously didn’t do it for the money, but rather … wanted him dead.”

Although An Ze’s voice still managed to remain calm but his fingers holding the phone tightened, “Dad, has An Family’s business ever offended someone?”

An Yu Dong thought about it and said: “Your grandfather’s temperament is too straightforward, it’s inevitable to offend someone when doing business, but I supposed no one would hate him that much to the extent of wanting to kill us. Moreover your gege hasn’t officially worked at the Hua An Corp., so even if they want to do it then they shouldn’t have gone after An Luo.”

An Ze looked back at his gege who was sleeping on the bed and his gaze gradually became deeper, “In other words, it’s not necessarily because of the family’s business feud, but it’s also possible for other reasons.” He slightly paused, “After all, Grandfather has never officially announced who would inherit the An’s Family business.”

“An Ze.” An Yu Dong interrupted him in a low voice, “Are you doubting An Yan and An Mo?”

“I hope it’s not them,” An Ze gave a slight pause, “But whoever it is, I won’t let him get away with it.”

“……..”

“So that’s it, you’re busy dad, I’ll hang up now.”

The phone was hung up.

Listening to the beeping busy tone in his ears, An Yu Dong’s eyebrows could not help but tighten up.

Among these children, the one he felt most reassured with was the fourth young master An Ze but the one he didn’t understand the most was also An Ze.

An Ze had always been very sensible as a child and rarely let his family worried about him, even when he made the decision to study in a military academy at the beginning, no one in the family opposed him because he had always been the most rational and firm one among his brothers, so no one had ever been able to sway the decision he made.

However, as he slowly grew up, An Yu Dong gradually discovered that he no longer could understand his son’s thoughts. Until that conversation just now, An Ze’s calm and cool tone suddenly made him realize that this son had grown up so much to the point where he as a father was completely unable to control him any longer.

He already had the capability to assume personal responsibility and even had the ability to directly confront the An Family.

He disregarded his father’s and grandfather’s opinions, ignored An Yan and An Mo’s wishes, and directly took his brother away from the An home overnight, such a decisive approach. It was already too late for anyone to make any reaction and by the time everyone knew the truth, usually the timber has been turned into a boat already, there’s no way to change it.

After staying in the army for a long time, he seemed to be used to a military mode of thinking. He did things like going to a military combat, won with a surprise move, hit with a single blow, hardly messed things up, and never left a way out for other people.

He didn’t even say hello in advance to his father, only calling and notify him after the job was done. This unpredictable character of An Ze made An Yu Dong has a great headache.

After frowning and silent for a moment, An Yu Dong picked up the phone on the table again and found a name in the address book then dialed, “Wei, Bi Zhen, when are you coming back to China … Okay, come back as soon as possible …”

****

By the time An Ze returned from the balcony, An Luo had opened his eyes. An Ze was startled to meet his gaze then walked to the bedside and asked in a low voice, “Is gege awake? Did you sleep well last night?”

An Luo looked at him and said, “I’m obviously slept very well after eating the sleeping pills.”

There was a strange silence in the air as the two of them looked at each other.

An Luo’s expression was very calm, so calm that one could not guess what was in his heart. An Ze looked at him in silence and his gaze gradually become more complicated.

After a long time did An Luo opened his mouth and said, “Aren’t you going to give me an explanation?”

An Ze looked straight into An Luo’s eyes, “What kind of explanation would gege like to hear?”

An Luo said, “The explanation of the drug you put in last night’s meal.”

An Ze straightforwardly admitted, “Don’t worry gege, I only used a short-acting soporific drug with an estimation of no more than six hours, it doesn’t have any effect on the human body, maybe An Yan and An mo has also woke up by now.”

“I’m not interested in pursuing what kind of drug you gave me, what I want to know is … what’s the point of going to all this trouble to drag me away like this? What is your purpose?”

An Ze was silent for a moment and whispered, “You are so quick to associate me as the bad guy like this who kidnapped and used you?”

An Luo looked at him but didn’t answer him.

An Ze slightly smiled, “I’m just trying to protect you gege.”

The smile on his lips seemed to have an imperceptible hint of bitterness under the sunlight.

“Gege, I found a bug in the picture frame that you mentioned, your intuition were not wrong and you were indeed being watched before, and right now you are unable to freely move your legs, if there is someone tries to do something against you, you’ll practically unable to fight back, won’t you?”

“…” An Luo remained silent.

“I’m taking you with me because I just don’t want anything to happen to you.” An Ze paused, his voice became downcast yet sincere, “This is Xi Lin Military District, you’ll be very safe if you stay here, I’ve also contacted the best orthopedic specialist at this military hospital to treat you …”

“Is there any difference from a house arrest?” An Liuo interrupted him.

An Ze was silent for a while, “Then you can consider it as a house arrest, I’ve never been a good person in gege’s mind anyway.”

An Luo frowned at him.

An Ze whispered, “Does gege want to ask for help, fight back, run away, or just stay here at ease and face reality?”

The atmosphere was somehow a bit stiff.

The silent stare continued for a long time before An Luo finally moved away his sight and whispered, “Alright, I’ll face the reality.”

“…….” An Ze looked at him and was surprised, originally he thought that his gege would be furiously reprimand him so he was even ready to be scolded by him and didn’t think that he would be so calm and accepted the reality so quickly, ending the conversation with the word “okay”.

He was under house arrest by his brother, but he was still so calm … Even though he had lost his memory but his temperament hadn’t changed at all, still just like before. Even if there was knife pointed on his neck, he still wouldn’t frown a bit.

Looking at his expressionless side face, An Ze couldn’t help but asked with a low voice, “Gege isn’t mad at me anymore?”

An Luo raised his head and looked up at him, “Why should I be mad at you?”

“I secretly brought gege away against of what you want and even put you under house arrest.”

“It doesn’t matter.” An Luo lightly raised his eyebrows, “It’s merely a change of bedroom. I have to rely on you to take care of me for the rest of the day and so there’s no point to have a grudge against you.”

“…….” An Ze was at a loss on how to answer him for a while as he met his calm gaze.

“I need to go to the bathroom, come help me.” An Luo extended his hand.

An Ze rushed to the side of the bed to hold his hand, conveniently pushing the wheelchair over along with him and carefully carrying him to the wheelchair.

Major An Ze, who was always calm and wise in front of others, seemed to be very willingly become a servant who bend to a task and spare no effort for his gege, An Luo in front of him and really enjoyed taking care of him.

An Luo didn’t mind being taken care of by him either and since being brought into the Xi Lin Military District was a fact, all he could do was to adjust his mood and adapt as quickly as possible, and get well as soon as possible so that he can properly walk with both of his own legs.

Since he still needed to wear this cast for a period of time then he could only rely on him to be carried here and there, as for the physical intimacy and so on … to dwell on such things is simply wasting his time so An Luo decided to completely ignore it.
