After the fake young master left home, he discovered that it wasn't raining at all outside.

Chapter 121 You're so lucky to have met me

"Little friend?" This was the first time Zhu Yan had ever heard such a term of address.

And judging from Ye Yu's tone, it seems that his relationship with Zhu Yan is unusual.

"Are we that close?" No matter how passionate Ye Yu was, Zhu Yan remained as cold as an icebox.

Hearing this answer, Ye Yu was not surprised; it was all within his expectations.

I can't help but sigh that time really can fade everything, and that Zhu Yan has no memory of him at all.

"Little guy, two years ago, you were still groping me, have you forgotten so quickly?" Ye Yu gave some hints, hoping that Zhu Yan would remember.

But once these words were spoken, it was no longer important whether Zhu Yan had thought of them or not; what mattered was that Xu Zhiyuan was the first to panic.

"Hey! What nonsense are you spouting? What do you mean Xiao Yanyan groped you? Are you trying to slander his innocence?!"

Zhu Yan fell into deep thought...

Two years ago, he did come to Country M and stayed near the Qingmang Mountains.

"Is it you?"

Zhu Yan seemed to have guessed who Ye Yu was.

However, if Ye Yu's identity is really as he thinks, then it's even more illogical.

Because then they would never be friends, but... enemies.

"Finally remembered me? If you hadn't remembered, I'd be ready to strip down and prove it." Ye Yu seemed somewhat excited that Zhu Yan had remembered him.

"In that case, little one, please." Ye Yu gestured for Zhu Yan to get into the car.

Logically, Ye Yu should regard Zhu Yan as an enemy, but now, from his tone, one cannot detect the slightest hostility towards Zhu Yan.

No matter what Ye Yu wanted to do, Zhu Yan planned to play along.

"Young Master!"

"Little Yanyan!"

"Brother Yan!"

When everyone saw Zhu Yan preparing to get into Ye Yu's car alone, they all shouted.

Zhu Yan glanced at the group, signaling them to relax, and then got into the car.

Ye Yu followed closely behind and sat down next to Zhu Yan.

As soon as he closed the door, he felt something cold blocking his lower back.

"Don't move," Zhu Yan warned coldly.

Ye Yu was slightly taken aback at first, then realized what was happening and smiled slightly.

"You're really cautious." Ye Yu's words were full of helplessness. "Don't use so much force, it hurts~"

Ye Yu was not nervous at all, and even dared to joke with Zhu Yan.

"What exactly do you want to do? Tell the truth, or this gun might accidentally go off." Zhu Yan whispered in Ye Yu's ear.

Ye Yu couldn't understand the threat in Zhu Yan's words; he only felt a tingling sensation in his ears.

"Such a beautiful voice, whispering in my ear... Little guy, who are you trying to charm?" Ye Yu turned his head and looked at Zhu Yan.

"Stop your glib talk and answer my question." Zhu Yan tightened his grip on the gun, pressing it firmly against his lower back.

Unable to resist Zhu Yan's persistence, Ye Yunai honestly replied, "Don't you already know? Please come and be my guest."

Zhu Yan didn't believe such a lame excuse; Ye Yu must be secretly plotting something big.

"Holding a gun like that is tiring. Why don't you put it away? Pointing it at me like that is kind of scary." Ye Yu tried to persuade Zhu Yan to put the gun away.

Zhu Yan suddenly gave Ye Yu a cold smile, put the gun away, and said, "Stop pretending. With just this gun, I can't kill you at all."

In Zhu Yan's hand was the golden gun that Zhu Yu had given him on his eighteenth birthday—the Zero Degree Oath.

"You had countless opportunities to subdue me, yet you're still putting on an act with me. Aren't you afraid I'll just shoot you?"

At this moment, Zhu Yan was playing with the gun in his palm.

Ye Yu smiled with relief, propped his head up with his hand, and turned to look at Zhu Yan. "If you like it, then I'll play along with you until you're satisfied. As for what you said about ending me with a shot..."

Ye Yu suddenly paused, his gaze towards Zhu Yan becoming even more resolute. "I know you won't."

Banquet:…

You found out again.

"You're far too blindly confident." Zhu Yan felt deep contempt for his behavior.

He was indeed testing Ye Yu. Given Ye Yu's years of experience navigating the gray areas of the border, it was impossible for him to be so easily threatened with a gun.

Even if he were lucky enough to have this opportunity, given Zhu Yan's skills, Ye Yu would never surrender so easily. He could easily counterattack Zhu Yan in an instant.

But he didn't do that.

Because he was putting on an act at the banquet.

"This isn't blind confidence." Ye Yu suddenly unzipped his windbreaker, revealing a light gray undershirt underneath, and removed the shoulder straps to expose his chest.

But right there in that strong, powerful chest, slightly above the heart, there was a star-shaped indentation.

It was clearly a gunshot wound.

"Two years ago, you didn't choose to kill with one blow. So two years later, you still won't do the same."

"It really was you." This scar stirred up Zhu Yan's memories.

Two years ago—

At that time, Zhu Yan and Lu Ze came to Country M to participate in the cybersecurity competition.

On their first trip to Country M, they mistakenly entered Qingmang Mountain and encountered a foreign force near the mountain.

It just so happens that Song Yunzhi, who was traveling incognito, has been captured and taken to the village.

Of course, Zhu Yan did not know Song Yunzhi's identity at the time. He simply cut off the village's communication equipment at night, causing chaos in the group, and took the opportunity to rescue Song Yunzhi and the other villagers.

It was there that Zhu Yan first met Ye Yu.

At that time, Ye Yu was wearing a black mask, and the scar on his face was not there.

"If you hadn't taken that officer's gun from the US and shot me, I would be dead already." Ye Yu's words pulled Zhu Yan back from his long-lost thoughts.

"According to your logic, shouldn't you hate me?" Zhu Yan had actually shot him back then.

Ye Yu understood that Zhu Yan was also pretending not to know, but he still smiled calmly, "But you deliberately shot off by a few points."

"You're overthinking it. I'm just a bad shot, I just missed." Zhu Yan didn't admit it.

"Really? But all those people behind me were shot right in the heart, dying instantly, not one survived." Ye Yu straightened his clothes and pulled them up again. "Why?"

Why, when I'm clearly on their side, do you insist on sparing my life?

I am clearly... guilty of a heinous crime.

Zhu Yan glanced away and looked out the window.

"Back then, you were the one who released those people from prison," Zhu Yan said calmly.

Ye Yu was taken aback.

So that's why...

"I just feel that they shouldn't be stuck there."

"So, you shouldn't have died there."

A glimmer of light flashed imperceptibly in Ye Yu's dull eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

You're so lucky to have met me.

Zhu Yan frowned and cast a questioning look at him.

"...Rebellious against the Heavenly Gang?"
