Simple dream

"I know about Hou Lin's release."

In the Liu villa, Jun dropped the bomb on Jin instead of the former receiving a shock.

"You know he is out?" Jin was too flabbergasted to comprehend. "How a-and why aren't you doing anything?"

Jun released a soft sigh. "Uncle Yunru told me, especially what happened after Cai Lingyun's release. He said Hou Lin was being considered for parole."

His eyes widened. "And you agreed?"

"Not initially. Not for a long time, Jin. I didn't want to take the risk after how Cai Lingyun almost hurt Ai. So at first I told Uncle Yunru to cancel his parole plea. I didn't want anybody hurting my family again. But after a few days, I decided to meet Hou Lin myself."

*Flashback*

"I shouldn't really be here, you know that, right?" Jun faced Hou Lin in the bureau's private meeting room, his dark brown eyes squinting at him.
