Chapter 67 Rainy Night
Chapter 67 Rainy Night
It’s already September, but the weather in Seoul still seems a bit unpredictable.
It had been hot all day, but near dusk, an east wind suddenly blew for no apparent reason. As a result, the entire sky was covered by a thick layer of dark clouds before it even got dark.
Around six o'clock, a flash of blue lightning flashed across the southeast sky, and the rumbling thunder finally brought a rainstorm.
In the mansion in Songquandong, An Rusong, wearing an apron, brought a plate of sliced watermelon into the living room and placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa. He said to Rubin and Manzhu who were sitting cross-legged on the sofa, "Hurry up, eat two pieces of watermelon first. I just bought it this afternoon and kept it in the refrigerator for more than an hour."
Rubin was a bit introverted and a little reluctant to meet strangers, but for some reason, she and Sun Manzhu got along very well. They had only known each other for a day, but they seemed to have become close friends who could talk about anything.
"Thank you, brother," Rubin was as polite as ever. She put her legs down from the sofa and rushed to grab two pieces of watermelon.
He gave one of the pieces to Sun Manzhu next to him first, and originally wanted to eat the other piece himself, but after hesitating for a moment, he turned around and gave it to Li Caicao who was curled up in a corner of the sofa.
It is said that three women make a play. An Rushong felt that the play in front of him seemed to have already begun. Although one of the women did not understand Korean, the play was still so exciting, so exciting that he did not want to watch it.
Wiping his hands on his apron, he turned and went back to the kitchen.
Today he plays the role of a chef, preparing dinner for a family of four. In his previous life, An Rusong's cooking skills were pretty good, at least he could handle a few stir-fried dishes. Well, to Koreans, this is called Chinese cuisine.
After a busy period in the kitchen, cooking four dishes and simmering a large pot of rice, just as An Rushong took off his apron and prepared to enjoy a happy dinner with the women in the family, the phone rang from the direction of the living room.
He hung his apron on the hook, walked out of the kitchen with a plate of food in one hand, and put it on the dining table, while shouting, "Rubin, bring me my phone."
There were sparse footsteps in the living room, and soon, Ru Bin ran in with his cell phone, saying, "It's Brother Cheng Hao calling."
An Rushong nodded, took the phone and pressed the answer button.
"Rushong, the weather is really nice tonight!" As soon as the call was connected, Zhao Chenghao's voice came from the other end.
An Rushong subconsciously looked towards the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room. Just at this moment, a flash of lightning flashed outside the window, illuminating the glass window covered with rain. Immediately afterwards, another rumbling thunder rolled by.
Is this guy crazy?!
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, An Rusong suddenly realized something, and he blurted out, "Brother Cheng Hao, what did you do?"
"I'm in Dogu-dong now," Zhao Chenghao said on the phone, "I've arranged a car to pick you up, and it should be here soon."
"I asked you what you did?!" An Rushong was angry. It was the first time he got angry at Zhao Chenghao.
"Let's talk when you get here!" How could Zhao Chenghao be afraid of him? He just said this on the phone and hung up.
"Me?!" An Rushong looked at the silent phone and almost smashed it on the spot.
"What's wrong, brother?" Rubin was still watching from the side, she asked with some concern.
"Ah, it's okay." An Rusong quickly calmed down, smiled nonchalantly, and said, "Someone caused me trouble at the company."
After saying that, he put his phone in his pocket, rubbed Rubin's head, and said, "I have to deal with this trouble first. You and Sister Manzhu can eat first."
As a bad man, he naturally has to create the image of a warm man all the time. What is a warm man? An Rusong believes that the best warm man is one who does not bring the emotions from work or the outside world back to his home and does not let his family see his ugly face.
And he always does a good job in this regard.
After walking out of the restaurant, An Rusong walked behind the sofa, held Sun Manzhu's face from behind with both hands, bent down and kissed her forehead, and said, "You guys eat first, I have something to take care of."
Sun Manzhu looked up at him, worry in her eyes. She said nothing, but it seemed like she had said everything.
"It's okay," An Rusong understood what she meant, so he smiled and said, "There was a problem with the decoration at the company. Today's rain came at a bad time."
Sun Manzhu knew that he and Zhao Chenghao had set up a company, and also knew that the company was being renovated recently. Therefore, this lie that An Rushong made up seemed very credible.
Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Sun Manzhu's serious worries faded away. She raised her hand and touched An Rusong's face and said, "Is it serious?"
"Yes, it was soaked in water," An Rushong said with a bitter smile.
He didn't say anything about the water, but it was precisely because he didn't say anything and just let Sun Manzhu figure it out that it wasn't easy for her to find the flaw. "Don't worry, it's just a loss of property, as long as the person is fine," Sun Manzhu comforted him.
Is it possible that everyone is okay?
An Rushong smiled bitterly in his heart, but at this time he could only pretend that nothing had happened.
After saying goodbye to the women and changing his clothes as quickly as possible, An Rushong went downstairs in a hurry without even taking an umbrella.
Downstairs, a young man in black clothes was waiting outside the unit door with an umbrella. Seeing An Rushong coming out of the elevator, the young man hurriedly came up to him and led the way.
The car that came to pick up An Rushong was a black Hyundai sedan. An Rushong had never seen the license plate and other things like that before. He didn't know where Zhao Chenghao got the car from, or maybe the license plate was fake.
There was no one in the car. The young man who led An Rusong into the car was the driver. After picking up An Rusong, the young man quickly started the car and drove into the dark night in the pouring rain.
More than 20 minutes later, the Hyundai car entered Daogu Cave. With the help of the street lights outside the car, An Rushong saw the car passing by a familiar staircase. Going up the staircase was where the Yuanhe sisters lived.
An Rushong was wondering what the Yuanhe sisters were doing at the moment when he heard the cell phone in his pocket ringing.
He took out his cell phone, looked at the caller ID, and saw that it was Zhao Chenghao calling, so he pressed the answer button without hesitation.
"Rushong, we seem to have caught a big fish!" On the phone, Zhao Chenghao's voice sounded unusually excited, and in the background, there seemed to be some strange sounds, like a man's panting, and, yes, a woman's voice.
"Brother Cheng Hao, I'm in a bad mood now," An Rushong said after taking a deep breath.
"Come on," Zhao Chenghao ignored him and just kept talking to himself, "You'll understand what's going on when you get there."
An Rushong touched his forehead and wanted to say something, but found that the phone had been hung up again.
He was completely speechless and no longer worried. At this point, it didn't make any difference whether he was worried or not.
The Hyundai car drove in the rain for a few more minutes, and finally turned onto a slightly narrower fork road that could only accommodate two cars driving side by side. After driving for about a hundred meters, it slowly stopped by the roadside.
As soon as the car stopped, An Rushong pushed the door and got out. He didn't care whether he would get soaked or not. He just wanted to know what Zhao Chenghao had done.
"Brother Rusong," However, the moment he got out of the car, an umbrella was held over his head, and then a young man's voice sounded in his ears.
"Yeah," An Rushong responded. Just as he was about to ask something, he felt someone behind him putting a raincoat on him.
The previous voice continued, "Brother Rusong, you have to put on your raincoat. We still have a long way to go."
As the voice fell, a figure wrapped in a black raincoat came around from behind him and walked quickly to the front.
An Rushong said nothing. He put on the hood of his raincoat and followed the footsteps of the person in front of him in the dark.
The two of them walked up and down the stairs in the dark alley, taking one deep step and one shallow step for more than ten minutes, and finally they walked into the gate of a house at the edge of the alley.
After walking along the way, An Rushong's emotions had calmed down a lot. He realized that Zhao Chenghao was not stupid. At least he knew how to hide himself and did not drive the car directly to the door of the other person's residence.
Yes, he had realized that the reason why Zhao Chenghao asked him to come here was definitely to cause trouble for Park Jinji. No, no, no, this statement was not accurate. It should be said that this guy had already caused trouble for others, and now he was just asked to come here to observe.
An Rusong was really regretting it now. He knew that Zhao Chenghao was impulsive. He should have warned him this morning not to cause trouble for Park Jinji. Otherwise, it would probably bring them even bigger trouble. It was because of his negligence that the current situation came about.
Damn, this guy Zhao Chenghao is really poisonous!
But then again, what can he do? Not to mention that he still needs Zhao Chenghao and his brother now, even if we don't consider the practical factors, just consider the reason why Zhao Chenghao did this. In the end, isn't it to defend him? After all, those people of Park Jinji were not harassing Zhao Chenghao and his brother, but his sister An Rusong.
With a sigh in his heart, An Rushong put aside all distractions and followed the young man who was leading the way, through the path in the courtyard and directly into the front door of the main house.
Inside the house, a young man dressed in black was guarding the door. When he saw An Rushong coming in, he stepped forward, bowed and said, "Brother Rushong."
The other person's accent was a bit strange. An Rushong took a special look at him and found that he was not tall and had dark skin. Judging from his appearance, he looked like a Southeast Asian.
"Where is Brother Cheng Hao?" An Rushong asked without thinking too much.
