Chapter 2017: Then You Won't Have a Brother

The same dishes, Yaen Chi ate them too.

No wonder, after eating, he felt something was off, but the amount in the food was only enough to give him a good sleep, so he didn’t worry about it.

Besides, if he stayed awake, he might be annoyingly obstructive to someone.

“Hiss—”

Yaen Chi suddenly groaned and struggled to sit up, “Doctor, help me take a look. My back got stabbed, it’s excruciating, I forgot the injured spot when I lay down.”

The man’s eyelid twitched, “I don’t know how.”

Yaen Chi paused, “If you can’t, why are you pretending to be a doctor? You’ve been watching from nearby for days and can’t even apply medicine?”

“I really don’t know how, so what? Who the hell said pretending to be a doctor means I have to know medicine!”

Yaen Chi sneered, the pain was really unbearable, he intended to flash a cool smile, but when his mouth opened, the pain in his back quickly spread, his whole body felt numb, and he winced in agony.

“At least help me look! It’s killing me!”

“I wouldn’t know even if I did look.”

Yaen Chi lifted his head, glaring at the man’s hideously ugly triple-whites of his eyes, “Really not gonna move? I’m warning you, if I really die from this pain, you’ll lose your brother!”

The man instinctively looked down at himself.

Yaen Chi…

Damn it!

“Can you take off that mask? Talking to you like this is annoying!”

The man glanced at him, pinched the edge of his cheek, and peeled off a mask. There were still special effects on his ears, brow bones, and bridge of his nose and lips. Without a mirror or wanting to take out his phone for the camera, he crudely rubbed them off with his hands, slowly revealing his true face.

“When did you find out?”

“What’s the deal with your disappearance? How did you hide right under Yan Di’s nose?”

Both asked at the same time.

And neither answered first.

Yaen Chi squinted, glanced sideways at the man’s face, and pointed with his hand, “Clean up your ear area, looks like a lump of flesh, it’s disgusting.”

The man rubbed that lump off, held it in his hand, wrapped it in a tissue, and threw it in the trash.

“I just got to the desert, lost my phone, sent a coded message to the organization, but it was encrypted and would take time to arrive. By then, I had already followed the Lan Family lead, infiltrated the pharmaceutical factory, took some data and drugs. The formulas were in the core files, I didn’t crack the password, so I destroyed their machines and computers, took whatever data I could get. I was discovered while escaping and got chased all the way, accidentally entering Yan Di’s territory, disguised myself, and hid within the medical team.”

“You’ve been missing for quite a while, Grandpa was worried and sent me to find you.”

Li Jian disappeared for almost a month. Calculating the time, his pre-arranged information should’ve reached Grandpa a week ago.

Since they knew he was safe, they should have recalled Yaen Chi immediately.

But the old man was devious, setting both brothers up, knowing as long as neither was reported dead, they were still alive. How they got back was none of his concern.

If the guess was right, not all of the people dispatched to meet Li Jian a week ago were sent by the old man.

There might be others hidden somewhere.

Just waiting to see how the two brothers would save themselves. The old man’s heart was very ruthless, often packing them up and throwing them into the primeval forest when they were kids.

Yaen Chi often thought that for the two of them to live to this age, they truly had long lives.

“How exactly did you recognize me? I was afraid my body had a smell, haven’t touched a cigarette.”
