210 Weird Things (1/2)

”little zi,..” liu zilong called out his younger brother who was about to enter the study.

since he couldn't sleep well, he decided to get up and to take a walk.

he's been like this for the past days.

it was still around half past five in the morning. as he was about to go outside he saw his brother leaving the couple's room.

the younger brother nodded indicating for them to talk inside.

aunt jing who recently returned was already busy preparing food in the kitchen. after seeing the two young masters entering the study, she prepared for hot drinks.

”still restless?” liu zijian asked.

liu zilong simply smiled.

”let me share some of your office work.” he gently said.

the second young master liu stared at him in bafflement.

he didn't hear him wrong?

liu zilong chuckled.

he needed something to distract his thoughts and he didn't have much enthusiasm to travel in any place. this time, he wanted to be confined in a suffocating room. since he didn't want to be just idle and do nothing, he decided to help a little.

besides he wanted to prove something.

liu zijian's lips slightly curved.

it's a perfect timing. since he was away for more than two weeks, his work somewhat piled up. he couldn't put more to ye ming as the latter was already burdened.

his brother has been here contemplating for three days and it seemed he's still affected by the death of that person.

”perfect timing. i need some days off to do something.”

”i can help. how many days do you need?”

”equivalent with the days i helped you.” liu zijian shamelessly answered.

liu zilong shook his head in disbelief. he offered a hand and his brother wanted an arm.

”okay. what are you gonna do?”

”i need some time to accompany my wife.”

”is sister in law okay?”

liu zilong actually observed some changes of han meixiu.

”we'll see a doctor later.” liu zijian answered helplessly.

the past few days he's been worried since she couldn't eat much and she felt always weak. he already said to visit a doctor but his little wife was so stubborn and would only say her body was just recuperating from the worrisome nights the past few days.

”then i'll start today.”

”en. i'll tell ye ming to give you details. use my office for the mean time.”

”alright.” liu zilong then stood up from his seat. when he was about to leave he heard his brother.

”didn't you find it odd?”

liu zilong turned around with a questioning look written on his face.

”about what?”

”their death. i didn't witness their 'work' but based from your story their movement was fluid and the plan to assassinate those people was flawless.”

liu zilong was actually thinking the same way. the two were easily killed. it was as if they lost their 'talent' that night falling into the hands of the subordinates of the people they killed.

but he didn't entertain the idea.

”i thought about it, too. but that might be the kind of thought to let me believe to something that probably does not exist. it's like escaping the reality. if i believe the two women in that room and the women we found dead were different, i might be deceiving myself. as if i'm avoiding the guilt.”

”so you chose to believe what was laid in front of you?”

”for now, yes. time will tell if that's really the truth.” he said and finally left the room.

liu zijian smiled. his brother has other intention in helping him.

simple facts being shown to them weren't meant to be believed right away, unless they have solid evidence.
