“Then…?”

“Don’t ask; it’s confidential.” Chu Yiping had said whatever he could.

Liu Chun nodded his head in understanding. No wonder Hengyang did not return home even once after returning to the provincial capital, and he never talked about what happened.

He would not have wanted to talk about it if it involved the death of his younger twin brother.

How did he die?

Liu Chun’s mind was a mess. He sent Chu Yiping away and went to Zhou

Hengyang’s office. It took him a while to remember that Hengyang was busy. He rubbed his face and shook his head, feeling his jumbled thoughts toss and turn like a ship braving a storm.

The past was the past – it could not be changed. Hengyang had walked away from the military, and that was that.

If Hengyang was not worried, why should he?

It was best if Hengyang ignored whatever Chu Yiping had to say. This way, he and Hengyang could continue making money and open more factories.

Having reached this conclusion, Li Chun smiled slyly. He could already see countless banknotes waving at him enticingly.

“We’re missing two bicycles.”

Zhou Hengyang suddenly spoke up, his eyes never leaving the report he was going over. Liu Chun’s daydreams of wealth shattered, and he froze. Shouting exaggeratedly, he cried, “How can that be, Hengyang? How can you tell that we have two missing bicycles?”

Zhou Hengyang eyed his friend in disdain. “Are you the silly one, or am I?”

“Of course it’s… I’m silly.” Liu Chun did not dare call Hengyang dumb. He was but a fool before Hengyang’s intelligence.

“Giving away two bicycles is fine, but you should have accounted for them in your report. We’re just starting – there are rules in place for a reason. Things will only get harder to track as the factory grows.” Zhou Hengyang eyed his friend expressionlessly, snapping the report shut.

He was not getting on Liu Chun’s case for no reason or out of selfishness.

“I know, I know,” Liu Chun waved Hengyang’s concerns away, suddenly growing energetic. “Say, do you know who I gave the bicycles to?”

“Who?” Zhou Hengyang leaned back in his chair, a faint smile tugging at his lips. “Is it for your lover?” he teased.

Liu Chun’s expression contorted in an impressive display of facial muscles. He shot Hengyang a strange look, doing his best not to laugh. He did not want to get beaten up. Still, courage lent him strength, and he soldiered on with a sigh.

“I gave it to yours, not mine.”

Zhou Hengyang dismissed the notion with a wave of his hand. “I don’t have a lover.” Su Wen disgusted face flickered to mind, and he unconsciously furrowed his brows.

“I’m talking about sister-in-law, your wife.” Liu Chun did away with the suspense, seeing as Zhou Hengyang did not seem to know who he was referring to. “Look, your wife wrote you a letter,” he said, placing Su Wen’s letter to Hengyang on the table.

Zhou Hengyang felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His perfectly sculpted features froze, and his hands trembled underneath the table.

Liu Chun did not notice this abnormality and continued brightly, “I was in Clear Water County doing some shopping when I met her by chance at the supply ana marKet1ng cooperative’s entrance. 1 nappenea to see ner In tne crowd. You’re so handsome. No wonder she would want you for a live-in son-in-law.”

He gave his childhood friend a thumbs up and advised, “Hengyang, you should bring her here with you. Aren’t you afraid you’d be forgotten if you don’t show your face more often? What’s to say something would not happen in your hometown?”

Zhou Hengyang tuned Liu Chun out. His eagle-like eyes were fixed on the khaki-colored envelope sitting innocuously on the table as if he wanted to burn a hole in it.

He could already guess what she had written to him about.

As far as he could imagine, she had probably written to tell him she was breaking off all ties because she wanted to marry Zhao Jiangang.

Su Wen… She was cruel, and he had been too inexperienced to see her for who she was.

He had sent her that special ticket. Anyone with half a brain would have known what it meant and what it would mean for the future.

That did not change how disgusting she was in his mind..
