ch.2

A sharp pain stabbed into Wei's mind. This body was called Suzy. She was a successful child actor but after the death of her parents. Being the only one to survive the car accident, she was traumatized and grew up wrong. She trusted her Aunt's family, who used her for money and her reputation was trash. She hanged in the wrong groups, getting stuck with doing drugs and playing around with men in bed. She had an extreme crush on another man and confessed at the celebration party. Everyone ridiculed her, calling her very horrible names. She was known as the man slut. The news was all about her drunken confession and rejection. She sent a threatening post to the crush, stating that he will regret rejecting her when she dies.

"This women…she's so dumb!"

Wei immediately got up from the bath tub and went to the medicine cabinet to wrap up his suicide cut. Afterwards, he cleaned up the bathroom filled with bloody water. Then he searched Suzy's hidden spots that she placed the drugs in. He gathered them and planned to sell them to criminals and extreme druggies. As a businessman that built his own business from the ground and also a businessman that took over for an underground mafia business, profit and losses are always part of his thoughts and actions.

He then looked at the closet. He cringed at the overly dramatic and flashy clothings. Even a man like him knows what he should wear to his own advantage, no matter the gender. He was once a trainee idol after all. Whatever he saw was not to his liking or was a disgrace to him, he plans to sell. Sell this, sell that, ah!!! Sell all of this!

*Ring Ring*

"Hello?"

"Suzy!!! Take down that post, you're destroying your reputation!"

A man was sobbing on the other side.

"...not like my reputation wasn't already rock bottom," Wei spoke under his breath.

"Huh? I heard you! Anyways, please don't cause anymore trouble!!"

"Hey manager. I want to quit as an actor."

"....what?! What do you mean! Wait, I'm in front of your house. Open the door."

Wei opened the door for his manager.

"Welcome, Manager Jing."

"W-what is this mess?"

"Oh, those? I'm planning on selling them. Please do that for me. Oh, and also cut off my relatives and collect the debt they owe me."

"...am I hearing things? What happened to the spoiled Suzy? Is this an act, are you playing a joke on me?"

"It's not an act. I want all of this done by tomorrow morning. Thank you!"

"Okay...wait what happened to your wrist? Did you really attempt to commit suicide?!"

"I got hurt while cleaning things up. No worries. Well, I'm going to sleep now. Please have all of what I said done. Good Night, Manager Jing."

"...," Manager Jing stood there speechless.

This change with Suzy was like a whole new person to Jing. He cheered within as he hoped that this wasn't just a moment that Suzy was going through. He hoped this will continue to the coming days. Manager Jing was efficient on his tasks. When Wei woke up, he went to clean up himself and then went to the kitchen to make breakfast. After that, he started exercising. A new routine for his unhealthy body.

His week was peaceful as he continued his new routine. Waking up early, having breakfast, morning runs and exercises. He was finally satisfied that his new body was almost healthy again. That night, he wore a black hoodie and black jeans. He put on a face mask and thick glasses. Taking the back filled with a variety of drugs he went to the black market. He was going to sell all of this shit. Entering a shop, the owner greeted him.

"How can I help you, dear customer?"

"How much for these drugs?"

"! It'll be an hour to check the contents and calculate the payment. I hope you don't mind."

"Of course not, I'll be back within an hour."

Wei then left and went to the weapon shop a few doors down. This was a safe zone area of the underground city. He had a few guns and tested them at their shooting room. He learned these from Zhu's training. He's aim was still perfect as always. The owner praised him and gave him a discount. He thanked him and then left with his weapons. Entering the shop, the owner instant noticed and came up to him.

"This is the amount for your items."

"It should be xx amount. What poor skills your business has."

"Ahh, please don't leave. How about xx amount?"

"Xxx amount, no lower."

"Gah, you sure know how to rob me, miss. Please give me the account that you would like me to transfer it to."

Wei gave him the info. They wouldn't be able to track this, which is what usual clients in the underground uses. He left when his phone dinged in the transferred money. He left in a good mood and walked a complex route so that no one can track him. As he took the last turn, he bumped into a firm chest. Taking a step back, he noticed that the other was Suzy's crush.

"Don't speak."

"..."

The other man covered his mouth as they hid in the dark and tight corner. Wei had his waist held flushed against the other man. A bunch of men run past and after a few minutes of silence. The man took his hand away and Wei instantly stepped back for space. He then noticed the wound on the other.

"Your bleeding."

"Is there a place nearby to stay a bit?"

"Yes, come with me," Wei didn't have feelings for the other like the original Suzy.

He wouldn't care if the other had rejected his confession and he could care less if he didn't take revenge for it. It wasn't his crush after all. Wei helped the man into the passenger seat and got into the driver side. He drove to his house and helped him into the home. The man leaned on the couch as he was sweating cold sweat. Wei could tell it was a gunshot and went to get the supplies.

"Hold still, it'll help a bit. If you want, you can bite on this."

Wei took off his dress shirt and disinfected the wound. He went in and took out the bullet. Wei gave his respect. The man didn't make a sound as he watched him work. Continued to stitch and wrap the wound up. Finishing everything, he cleaned up the bloody towels and supplies. The man leaned his head back as he rested his eyes. Wei changed out of the black hoodie and jeans.

He came back to check on the other man. The man heard his steps and looked at Wei in amazement. Wei had cut his long hair into a short-straight bob. His outfit was on the masuline side as he smoked his cigar. The cigarette resting on his long fingers looked natural and graceful. As if he had smoked for a long time.

"It's you. No something is different."

'Sharp man. He reminds me of someone I know very well...Gao, my love…'

Wei looked at Tang unfeelingly, he then left to get a glass of water for the injured man.

"Here, some water. I'm going to bed."

Wei said as he left to his bedroom. Being reminded of his lover dampened his mood as he went to sleep. The next morning, he woke up early and did his usual morning routine. He wore a sports bra and leggings. He walked into the kitchen and started cooking. He went to the living room and saw Tang still resting. He made some food that was light for Tang.

"Hey, wake up. Take some painkillers and eat something."

Tang was silent as he did what he was told. Wei went to eat his breakfast and then went to the workout room. Coming back to the kitchen after his workout, he heard a yell. He went to the living room to see his manager.

"Manager Jing, what are you doing?"

"He...him...why...what…"

"Speak english. He's Tang Zan, I bumped into him last night when I took a walk in the city."

"Did you like…"

"Whatever you are going to ask, the answering is. You're wrong. Anyways, I told you I'm not going to act anymore."

"B-but, your dream! You always wanted to be the number one actor and win the best actor award!"

"Well, I have a new dream. I want a peaceful and normal life now."

"Look at the list of opportunities requested. One last try, if you still don't like it then I'll stop bothering you."

"...fine. Give me the list."

Wei skimmed through the list and most of it was porn related. Then he noticed one of the offers. Idol trainee...there's also a modeling job.

"These two."

Wei passed the two files to Jing.

"Eh? Modeling and Idol training? You really won't take the acting roles?"

"No, they're all about sex and pornagraphy."

"...you're right about that part...but why did you suddenly want to become an idol?"

"It's just because. Just contact them for me."

"Alright, I'll call you when I get everything ready."

"Un, bye."

Manager Jing left as he gave one last glance at Tang Zan. Tang was silent the whole time the two were conversating. The Suzy in front of him was a completely different person. The old Suzy would be weak and useless at everything. She would probably pass out at the sight of blood not like how she stitched up a wound like last night.

"So when are you going to leave? Aren't you a busy man?"

"Yes, can I borrow your phone? I'll call my assistant."

"Sure," Wei passed his phone to Tang.

Tang continued on with the day as Tang's assistant came to pick him up that evening.

"How's the situation on our side."

Tang's assistant, Mason, glanced at Wei in question.

"It's fine. Tell me."

"Well, everyone is anxious to know if you're alright or not. As well as waiting for the orders of the next steps."

"Hmm. Let's return then. Thank you for your help, Miss Suzy. I'm in your debt so if you ever have a favor, please do contact me."

Tang placed his card on the coffee table and left with assistant Mason.
