Chapter 825 - Oh no

The afternoon came, and like the promised time, Yue Ling and Lu Tian left the island. As their short peaceful getaway comes to an end, construction was back in business at their home.

The sound of machinery and people echoes from outside and inside the luxurious home as Wolf Team and Alpha Team picked up their tasks in the early morning.

Shaofeng and Yiqing were able to seal off the secret exit in one of the downstairs spare rooms. The two men step back from the house and stare with a proud expression.

At first, they were afraid the door would be noticeable but having it painted to look precisely like the house, it blended in nicely.

"Wow. Where is the door?"

Gui Zhongmin walks over to see, and he was in awe of the sight. Before, he could see the inside leading to the closet inside, but now he couldn't even tell the difference.

It was as if they never tore down anything to make an escape exit.

He walks up to the wall and touches the wall.

"Man, you guys are really skilled at this. If I didn't know, I would have thought professionals were hired."

His head nods approvingly at the excellent work then he hears another commotion a few feet away. He looks over to see Jiangyu and few other men putting a door on the house.

"Ah, I should use this chance to see how it's put on."

He smiles at Shaofeng and Yi qing then makes his way to the other group.

"Wait. Gui Zhongmin, can I ask you something?"

Before he could take his second step, he is stopped by Shaofeng. He doesn't think much and looks at the young man. However, a thought suddenly came to mind, and he looks at the wall, where the hidden door is.

"What is it? Did something happen? Did someone die while putting the door on?"

"..."

Question after question escapes his mouth, with each even more exaggerating than the first one. His arms dance around in different directions, and the proud look he had of Shaofeng and Yiqing being professionals disappear into thin air.

"Oh my God. My boss is going to be here soon. What do I say? How do I tell her?"

He looks at the two men, and he felt like fainting but lacked the energy to do so.

"Why are you two just standing there? Aren't you worried? My boss is a reasonable person and considers forgiveness, but your boss..."

He puts the back of his hand on his forehead and puts on a fainting act.

"The word 'forgiveness' is not in his dictionary."

Yiqing: "..."

Shaofeng: "..."

Both men were struck dumbfound by the stylist. Neither had the chance to ask what was on their mind, and Gui Zhongmin was already rambling incoherently about nonsense, especially the part about their boss, which was true.

However, not wanting the misunderstanding to increase, Shaofeng grabs Gui Zhongmin's shoulders and stops him.

"Get a hold of yourself. Nothing's wrong with the door, and no one died or is going to die."

"Oh..."

Gui Zhongmin blinked his eyes and was only able to utter one word. He glances between the man shaking him and the one watching this scene.

His stylish persona chuckles awkwardly and scratches the back of his head.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to exaggerate like this. I'm usually calm when it comes to a crisis."

Yiqing rolled his eyes while Shaofeng shook his head as he lets go of the stylist's shoulders. He (Shaofeng) directs his attention to the right.

"I only stopped you because I'm worried about the people inside."

Hearing the question, Gui Zhongmin didn't have to think twice. He follows the young man's

eyes and looks in the same direction. It wasn't the hidden door but at the window.

His eyes blink a few times before he shrugs his shoulders without care.

"Don't worry about them."

He looks down at the time on his watch and smiles a huge grin at the two men.

"They should be waking up any minute now."

He left his response at that and walked away in the direction he was going before being stopped. However, unlike him, the two men he left behind were doubting his words.

"Well, I guess we don't have to worry about anything."

Yiqing spoke as he heads in the same direction as Gui Zhongmin with Shaofeng. However, the young man pursed his lip while walking.

He (Shaofeng) glances at the window as they pass it and frowns confusingly.

"Gui Zhongmin said not to worry, but is it really alright? I mean, who in the world can sleep through all the noise? I know I can't."

However, seeing how Yiqing and Gui Zhongmin were calm about the situation, he decides not to dwell too much on the situation.

"I suppose I was overthinking."

And just as he cast aside his worry, the people he was worry about began to move inside the house.

"Ugh... my head..."

Liu Shan woke up groggy and feeling sluggish. He kicked the blanket off and held his head as he felt a throbbing pain in his head. His tattooed body was exposed, with only the bottom half covered with clothes.

"Why is it so loud?"

After returning from Red Moon and learning about Liu Ye's past, Xu Long and Lin Hui suggested they needed a drink. It started with one glass of wine, then two, then three, and Xu Long brought a hard liquor bottle out of nowhere.

One thing led to another, and everyone ended up drunk.

He was only glad that Ju Suo, Jiangyu, and the Gui twins didn't stay after dropping them off.

Returning from his recollection of the night before, he forces his hungover body to sit up. His eyes could barely open, but he tries to see his surrounding.

"What time is it? I don't remember any schedule for construction this early..."

His words had yet to finish when he jotted awake at how brightly lit the room is. He looks down to the floor and sees Liu Ye peacefully sleeping, then at Xu Long, who was sleeping on the bed with him.

"Shit! We slept in!"

He jumps out of bed, not forgetting to kick Xu Long in the process.

"Xu Long, you bastard! Wake up! We overslept because of you! Hurry!"

He rushes to the window and draws open the curtains. His eyes widen at the sight of Wolf Team and Alpha Team going about with their tasks, and he felt like fainting.

"Oh, God. How in the world did we sleep through all the noise?"

Even he is surprised by this situation. The loud ruckus outside should have made one unable to sleep, but he and the others slept like they were dead.

"Why are you making so much noise? Did someone die?"

Xu Long wanted to sleep in some more but couldn't due to Liu Shan's ranting. Even Liu Ye, who was sleeping on the floor, was awake and staring confusingly at the assistant.

"We're going to die if you don't hurry up and get dress. Everyone's already here! I don't even know when our bosses' are going to be back. Hurry."

Lin Shan threw a few words and searched for his clothes. As he searches, he didn't forget to clean along the way.

"What?!!"

Hearing his words, Xu Long no longer cares about sleep and jumps out of bed. Like his assistant friend, he had also gone to sleep without a shirt.

"Where's my shirt? Where's my phone? What time is it? Boss said they'll be back in the afternoon."

* knock knock

Just as his words fell, a knock sounds at the door—both assistant's heads darts in the direction of the sound. Neither said a word but gulped with incredible difficulty.

"Maybe it's Lin Hui or Qi Li."

Xu Long whispers thinking no one would enter an occupied room. However, little did he know, Wolf Team and Alpha Team had been entering and exiting the room the entire time they slept.

Relief wash inside Liu Shan. He also thought it was the other two men, mostly Qi Li since the man is polite. He walks over to the door and reaches for the doorknob.

"Liu Shan?"

Suddenly, a familiar and angelic voice spoke from behind the door, and his shoulders stiffen with feet rooted to the floor. Behind him, Xu long was quickly frozen in place.

Both men slowly and robotically turn to look at one another. Their eyes locked with nonverbal communication.

Liu Shan: 'Oh no. Oh no.'

Xu Long: 'Oh no, no, no!

However, quickly as their thoughts connected, both men's eyes widen, and they look at Liu Ye, who was quietly staring at them.

Liu Shan: 'We brought a stranger to our bosses' house.'

Xu long: 'That's it. We're going to die.'
