Knocking On The Door At Midnight

Lan Yanzhi accompanied his brother without a care for his life. The two of them drank at least ten bottles of alcohol together.

In the end, he was completely wasted and he would not have even recognized his mother anymore.

On the other hand, the person who drank the most still remained sober and unaffected. Lan Yanzhi dropped himself on the sofa as he watched his fourth brother leave with hazy eyes.

He wanted to ask where he was going, however he could not even speak properly without slurring his words and his mind was a jumbled mess of incoherence.

Mu Sihan called Wei Lin over and Wei Lin supported him to the car.

Mu Sihan was not the type to go crazy after he drank too much. On the other hand, he was rather quiet and unlike his usual arrogant self. The drunk him shed his usual layer of coldness and acted more like a child who lacked love instead.

"Young Master Mu, are you going back to the manor?"

Mu Sihan leaned against the seat. His eyes were slightly opened while his facial features were calm. Wei Lin did not know if he was drunk or sober and he waited for a long time before he heard him say a hospital's name.

When they reached the hospital, Mu Sihan did not let Wei Lin support him. Instead, he walked towards the hospital wards with his long legs, though he was somewhat shaky.

He did not enter the brat's hospital ward when he reached it. He stood in front of the glass window and peered inside.

There was only the brat and an older woman. That woman wasn't here.

Mu Sihan got back into the car.

He lit a cigar and puffed a few breaths as he let Wei Lin drive to Huadong Garden district.

He climbed up the steps to the sixth floor and stood in front of the door of the apartment. He had retraced his steps from when he had been there once before.

…

Nan Zhi had a fever. Her head still hurt badly even after she took the medicine. She had decided to stay at the apartment tonight in fear of spreading it to Xiaojie, since his immune system was weaker.

All of a sudden, loud knocks trailed from the door after she had finally drifted off to sleep.

She was shocked awake from her dreams.

She thought it was her neighbor. However, after listening to it closely, it seemed someone was hammering on her door.

She glanced at the time. It was in the middle of the night.

Who could it be at this ungodly hour?

Was it Bo Shaoxiu?

Did he investigate where she stayed? Or did he find out something?

Nan Zhi furrowed her eyebrows. She took out a wooden rod from under her bed and trudged to the door, dragging her lead-like body.

She looked out of the door through the peephole. The corridor was completely dark. The sensor-motioned lights were dimmed and she could not see a thing.

However, she could feel someone standing outside.

It was a person with a very strong aura.

Nan Zhi was not a stranger to that familiar aura.

It was that foul-tempered narcissist! What was he doing at her apartment so late?

The ringtone for a video call suddenly rang out on Weixin and Nan Zhi was completely confused.

Nan Zhi hung up on the video call hurriedly and turned her phone to silent mode before she threw her phone on the shoe rack.

Loud knocks rang on her door again after a few seconds.

Nan Zhi saw her neighbor opening the door and explode in anger, "Do you have any conscience? It's the middle of the g*ddamn night! Are you trying to kill someone with your noise?!"

At the thought of that man's bad temper, Nan Zhi was very afraid that he would go and beat her neighbor up. However, she really did not want to open her door for him.

She was dizzy and her head hurt. She did not have the energy to deal with him at all.

In her heart, he was even more difficult to deal with than ten Bo Shaoxius.

"What are you yammering about? Get back in there and go to sleep if you don't want to die!" her neighbor shut up after being yelled up by the man and the former quickly closed the door.

Nan Zhi had never seen anyone who was so bold and arrogant, even though he was in the wrong. The man was unbelievable.

'Bang, bang, bang.' Several kicks could be heard against her door.

"Woman, I know you're inside. Open the door. If not, I'll kick it open."

Nan Zhi could even see the red blood capillaries in the man's black eyes through the peephole. He was filled with a dark aura and she felt her legs go weak in fear. She swallowed and tried to steel herself.

Her instincts told her that he was very dangerous right now.

"I'll count to three. One, two…"

Nan Zhi opened the door with a cold expression. "Young Master Mu, what do you want at this hour? Are you crazy?"

The man pushed past her into the apartment as she finished speaking.
