Fang Yu didn’t get a call from Yang Lei the next day. He waited patiently for another two days. When he went again, he still didn’t get a call from Yang Lei, and Fang Yu knew that something must have happened to Yang Lei.

Fang Yu was dreadfully anxious.

When Fang Yu decided to come back to Jianghai and see Yang Lei, he had already made preparations in his mind. At this point, he didn’t regret it. Even if he had to do it again, he would still choose to avenge Jiu Ge’s death. His only worry was implicating Yang Lei. Yang Lei was running around for him and thinking of solutions, but that was drawing the fire to himself! If the police found that Yang Lei had hidden him, Yang Lei would be guilty of harboring a criminal. Even if Yang Lei had that kind of background, with the current circumstances and situation, nothing was certain!

Fang Yu didn’t know how he passed these days when there was no news at all from Yang Lei.

He was anxious, tormented, and regretful!

“…Hello…”

Fang Yu finally couldn’t bear it. He took the risk and called the number that Yang Lei had left.

Once the person who answered the phone heard the voice, he guessed who he was.

This person was Yang Lei’s childhood friend, a classmate from elementary school to middle school. A nerd, model student, and excellent student, he was a top student all the way to college. He didn’t fight, and he hadn’t even clenched a fist. So people were just this weird. They looked like two people who had nothing to do with each other, but real friends would appear when something had happened, and they could be trusted at any time.

He was the person Yang Lei thought of who would be suspected the least.

“Don’t worry. I haven’t heard that anything happened to him. I’ll ask for you now. Call me again at night,” the classmate said. The classmate was very calm.

The classmate heard that Yang Lei was locked up at home. The classmate went into the Yang house. Yang Dahai knew him. Among all of Yang Lei’s friends, he was the only one Yang Dahai welcomed.

“Uncle Yang, I’ve brought Yang-zi a computer magazine to relieve his boredom.”

Since he was a scholar, Yang Dahai didn’t guard against him.

“He’s crazy with anxiety. He’s afraid of implicating you and wants to turn himself in.”

The two of them spoke in a low voice inside the room.

“What??”

Yang Lei was also like an ant on a hot pot at home. He regretted that he had overlooked things. He didn’t think that Yang Dahai would lock him up. If Fang Yu didn’t receive his phone call, how anxious would he be?? He was just waiting for his classmate to come. He was very anxious from waiting. With no news from him, Fang Yu would definitely contact the number he left behind.

Yang Dahai cut off all of his contacts with the outside world, including the phone. Even if there were a phone, Yang Lei couldn’t use the phone in the house to call. That would only expose Fang Yu.

But this was a battle, and whoever couldn’t persist would lose. Yang Lei couldn’t leave. He had to drag this out.

“He’s crazy! Did you stop him?!”

Since he hadn’t paved the road smoothly yet, Fang Yu couldn’t go right now! If he popped up and were caught, what kind of “turning in” could be discussed? Nothing could be explained clearly!

“I stopped him. Don’t worry!”

“Tell him that he must not act rashly! Nothing has happened to me! …He should take care of himself! …”

Yang Lei was also incoherent…

The days when Fang Yu was dreadfully anxious, those in Guangzhou were already worried.

The two Vietnamese War veterans already knew about Fang Yu’s crime. At that time, when Jianghai’s gangsters committed a crime and ran away, they ran to Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangdong the most often. Those who were lucky could even run to Hong Kong or Macao. That really was beyond their reach. It was the ideal place to run away for those in the gangdom.

These two veterans had already made some achievements in Guangdong. Fang Yu called them once using the public phone. Fang Yu didn’t make this call for himself. His men, especially Lao Liang, were still wanted criminals right now. During this crackdown, it wasn’t known whether or not they could hide from it. Right now, he was already like this. He wouldn’t be able to take care of his brothers. He entrusted these brothers to his two brothers, hoping that if something happened to them, they would have a place to go, and they could accept and take care of them.

Yet these two veterans, could they watch Fang Yu and ignore him??

“Are you stupid?? You’re still not running away? Wait. We have a way to pick you up. We’ll arrive tomorrow or the day after!”

“No, I can’t go yet.”

“Why?”

“…I have to wait for someone!”

“Fuck! Who? A girl? What time is it now?!”

Fang Yu didn’t reply…

When Fang Yu heard the news from the classmate, the classmate revealed everything to Fang Yu. He said all the things that Yang Lei let and didn’t let him say.

“…He’s begging his dad… He’s also in contact with the other side. He’s already asked people to find a way.”

Yang Lei couldn’t put all of his eggs into one basket. He had to try all of the possibilities.

“This amount.”

The classmate said an amount to Fang Yu.

“…Where did he get so much money?”

“He sold his car. It was an imported car, worth hundreds of thousands.”

“…”

Fang Yu didn’t say anything…

At night three days later, Fang Yu returned to the farmhouse in the continuous drizzle.

That day, he still didn’t receive a phone call from Yang Lei.

Fang Yu, who was sitting in the deep darkness and pondering, suddenly stood up.

He vigilantly reached toward the courtyard wall, listening to the movement outside. Every nerve was tense. His hand reached behind his waist.

The gate of the courtyard was tapped lightly.

Once, twice.

“…Fang Yu…!”

A low, urgent, and familiar voice sounded hurriedly…
