Chapter 173 Finding You At Last
The man wearing the black fitted suit is called Kim Tae-joo, a South Korean.
And the guy who was only wearing a vest on top, who looked like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain in Ye Binglan’s eyes, was called Holman, an American.
These two men’s reputations were extremely resounding in the Western underworld, because they shared a common identity!
Sun God’s Guards!
They were both among the twelve guards under the Sun God!
Just to teach these little hooligans a lesson, Su Rui didn’t let Kim Tae-joo and Holman, these two tough characters, use deadly force. Otherwise, if they were allowed to act recklessly here, wouldn’t China be thrown into chaos?
Riding the bus back to the city center with Su Rui, then switching to Lin Aoxue’s BMW, Ye Binglan didn’t speak the entire way. She was somewhat incredulous.
Tonight’s events had completely overturned her worldview, especially when Su Rui mentioned the words “Western underworld,” which made her feel an indescribable suffocation!
Logically speaking, as a police officer, Ye Binglan should have stopped them when they pulled out guns in this area and even in front of her, because this seriously violated Chinese laws and regulations. However, when Ye Binglan saw Su Rui standing beside her, she abandoned this thought.
Who has ever stipulated that those who shoot people are definitely evil, and those who are shot are definitely righteous?
In too many cases, justice truly cannot be measured by law.
On this journey, Ye Binglan suddenly felt somewhat lost, yes, lost about her professional ideals and life aspirations.
Su Rui drove while looking at the night outside, smiled slightly, and said, “Actually, tonight, I shouldn’t have told you about the Western underworld. But since my two subordinates have already rashly appeared, there’s no need for me to hide anything from you anymore.”
Ye Binglan looked at him, with a gentle expression flashing in her eyes: “Brother, you actually don’t need to tell me. Even if you don’t say anything, I wouldn’t think you’ve become a bad person.”
Being able to find her little brother who had been separated from her for nineteen years in such a coincidental situation, Ye Binglan truly asked for nothing more. Even if he were guilty of all crimes, she would definitely try to reform him. Besides, Su Rui was not that kind of person at all, which could be seen from his sincere and pure eyes.
“Let me tell you the truth.”
For his most intimate little sister, Su Rui neither wanted nor needed to hide anything: “Because Bikan has developed a new synthesis method for triazolam, which can significantly reduce costs. This is a necessary intermediate for psychiatric medications, but it’s also the main component of a drug that’s popular in Europe and America. Many people in the Western world want to steal this formula, whether from the world under the sun or from the world in darkness.”
Whether from the world under the sun or from the world in darkness. Hearing these words, Ye Binglan’s body trembled slightly.
“So, the situation is very dangerous.”
Before today, perhaps Ye Binglan couldn’t understand what Su Rui meant by the word “dangerous,” because she didn’t know what the Western underworld actually was. But after witnessing the terrifying skills of these two Western visitors today, she gained a bit more understanding of that world shrouded in darkness, and it was precisely this understanding that made her feel increasingly terrified.
“Brother, you came to protect Lin Aoxue, and those two people just now are the same, right?” Ye Binglan asked, trying hard to control her rapidly beating heart.
When Su Rui mentioned that the entire West was coveting triazolam, she understood what a precarious and dangerous position Lin Aoxue and the Bikan Group were in! It could be described as being in the crosshairs of everyone! And what kind of bloody storm would Su Rui, who was protecting the safety of the Bikan Group, have to face?
“Yes.” Su Rui nodded, not denying it.
Hearing this, Ye Binglan could no longer hide the worried expression on her face. She really didn’t want to see her brother in endless danger from now on.
“Can you give up? Give up protecting her?”
Everyone is selfish and hopes their loved ones are safe and sound. Ye Binglan was no exception. She had never had any dealings with Lin Aoxue; the Lin family’s daughter was just a stranger to her. She really didn’t want to see her brother facing such great danger because of this matter.
Moreover, her brother risking his life to protect another woman he didn’t know didn’t make Ye Binglan feel very good.
Su Rui looked at her, shook his head, and smiled: “I know what you’re thinking, but you don’t need to persuade me. This is about a promise I made several years ago. I can’t refuse, nor can I do something against my conscience.”
“What promise could make you take it so seriously?” Ye Binglan looked at Su Rui’s solemn appearance, feeling even more worried.
Su Rui knew that this would be difficult to explain to Ye Binglan in a short time, so he smiled faintly and said: “This promise, simply put, if they asked me to die, I would go and die.”
A man would die for someone who knows him well!
Ye Binglan’s body trembled again. Hearing Su Rui’s words, she seemed to feel a different kind of quality emanating from her brother beside her!
“But no matter what, I just want you to be well,” Ye Binglan said softly in her heart.
Su Rui was driving carefully. What he didn’t know was that Ye Binglan was curled up in the passenger seat, taking out her phone, logging into WeChat, and posting a moment.
The content of the moment was just a simple lyric—Finally waiting for you, glad I didn’t give up.
…
After parking the car in the community parking lot, Su Rui said, “It’s late, let me walk you upstairs.”
But Ye Binglan shook her head. She looked at Su Rui with a gentle smile in her eyes.
“What, aren’t you tired yet?”
“Having finally found my little brother, how could I bear to go upstairs now?”
Ye Binglan suddenly reached out with both hands and wrapped them around Su Rui’s neck.
Su Rui looked at Ye Binglan a foot away, his body suddenly stiffening.
Ye Binglan wrinkled her nose playfully and smiled, “When I was little, I often hung on you like this. I just want to reminisce and find that feeling from before. Why are you so nervous?”
“Uh…” Su Rui, who could be shameless and unrivaled in front of Lin Aoxue, was now somewhat speechless in front of his “sister.”
“Because we’ve both grown up, and we can never go back to how things were before.” Ye Binglan’s hands were still around Su Rui’s neck, her tone carrying a faint melancholy.
Su Rui was thinking about how to respond, but then Ye Binglan changed the subject: “Although we can’t go back to the past, we can still have an unlimited future, right?”
Su Rui looked at her serious gaze and replied equally seriously: “That’s really positive thinking.”
“Brother, walk with me around the community.” Ye Binglan released her hands and instead wrapped her arm around his, almost leaning half her body weight on him.
Su Rui’s body was still somewhat stiff. Even though the soft sensation had already been transmitted through his arm, it still couldn’t make him relax even a little bit.
“Okay, we’ll walk as long as you want.” Su Rui smiled with some affection and took a step—well, this intimate contact still made him very stiff.
“It’s so nice to have a brother.”
Ye Binglan held Su Rui’s arm, resting her head on his shoulder. Until now, she was still worried that this was a dream.
If it really was a dream, then she never wanted to wake up.
In the quiet night, two figures wandered through the vast community. The clear moonlight fell on the two of them, serene and distant.
The two chatted, discussing light topics, not mentioning those heavy and dangerous matters again. Fortunately, even though they hadn’t seen each other for nineteen years, their rapport was still there, and their views on many things were completely the same. It seemed that this kind of rapport must have been formed since childhood.
Without realizing it, the two had been strolling for more than an hour.
“Brother, walk me upstairs.”
Ye Binglan held Su Rui’s arm with both hands. Her long-held dream had come true, and now she was surrounded by a strong sense of happiness.
In the past nineteen years, this brother who had no blood relation with her held an extremely important position in her heart, and as time passed, this position had been deepening.
The innocent years didn’t bear to deceive, I won’t fail you in the wild youth. Even time cannot erase the marks we leave on each other.
The two were chatting and laughing as they walked to Ye Binglan’s building, but they saw a figure.
A man, holding a bouquet of flowers.
This man was quite tall, wearing expensive casual clothes. His features were quite good, but he seemed to lack a bit of masculinity, with a weak constitution, perhaps because he hadn’t taken good care of a certain key organ.
When he saw Ye Binglan intimately holding a man’s arm, chatting and laughing as they approached, his face was instantly covered with dark clouds!
He looked at his watch; it was already one o’clock in the morning!
At such a late hour, holding a man’s arm back to her apartment, what did that mean? It meant these two had definitely slept together!
He had rushed here from the capital with great difficulty, wanting to give this woman a surprise. Seeing that the light in her room wasn’t on, he waited here, until now, only to see such a scene!
This man felt as if his lungs were about to explode with anger! What was this? A surprise for him? Damn it, more like a shock!
Su Rui and Ye Binglan also saw him at the same time.
Upon seeing this person, Ye Binglan’s previously cheerful face instantly turned cold, and those expressions seemed to be blown away by the wind!
Obviously, she disliked this man very much.
“Jiang Yihe, why are you here?” Ye Binglan asked coldly.
This man called Jiang Yihe tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart, raised his finger, and very impolitely pointed at Su Rui: “Ye Binglan, who is he?”
“Who he is, do I need to explain to you?”
Although she said this, Ye Binglan held Su Rui’s arm even tighter!
