Past:

Before answering, Han Jia was quiet for a second or two.

Then he looked at Zhang Xueming and smiled coldly: “You did everything you could to stay in Jin Ting, but unfortunately, I’m not interested at all in the terms of exchange you’ve said just now.” His voice was also low and clear, “Make Ming-ge miserable? Why would I do that?”

“Han Jia, if my dad and I fell into the water at the same time and you could only save one of us, who would you save?”

What was Han Jia doing at that time? Enjoying the view in front of the window, sorting out the things in the cupboard, or clumsily cooking?

After all, he was once a member of the city’s largest gang and had done many things in the complicated gangs’ warfare that could not be declared to others.

“What are you talking about?” Du Zhen asked in complete amazement. For him amiability begot riches,¹ yet now his slightly plump face was sweating, and his eyes were open wide. 

His partner, or colleague, or offline—or the person that was a combination of the three identities was not the slightest moved by his consternation as he expressionlessly repeated what he had just said:

Jiang Xiaoning couldn’t open the door to Xin Muran’s office and kicked it open, but when he entered, he found no one was there. 

He rushed out in spitting anger, went next door once more, and even checked the balcony——Xin Muran sometimes went there to smoke.
