Okay, here is the first of the Mafia AU prompts (the rest will probably be sent sporadically throughout the next few hours as I continue to mull them over):

Modern Mafia meets Mr & Mrs Smith - they both work for rival gangs, but they don't know the other is even IN a gang because they both have excellent covers. Now, suddenly, their gangs are at war and they need to decide where their loyalties lie....

Choose whichever fandom you want, and your pairing of choice!!!! Extra spicy prompt: they both believe the other is betraying them to remain loyal to their gang (angst angst angst!)

I really hope you enjoy this angsty little fic...but don't worry, there's a happy ending!

It was a quiet morning as Dr. Chen Yuzhi was standing at his workbench, working on grinding up medicine for a patient when a person stepped into his clinic, clutching at their bleeding arm.

“Yuzhi” they called out, making Chen Yuzhi look up, only to let out a gasp of horror.

“Jiang Yuelou!” he exclaimed, quickly placing down his pestle before he ran over to the man and grasped him by his uninjured arm.

“What happened?!” he demanded. The man he was holding by the arm, Chief Jiang Yuelou, smiled weakly.

“Ah…got in a fight with some criminals…you know how it is” he replied. Chen Yuzhi made a face before he sighed and guided him over to one of his chairs, sitting him down.

“This is the fourth time this week…honestly, Yuelou, you need to take better care of yourself” he scolded. Jiang Yuelou nodded.

“I know, I know…” he started before he looked up at him and smirked.

“But if I get hurt, it gives me an excuse to see you” he stated. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened and he blushed before he huffed.

“You can come see me without having to get shot or stabbed or cut…and I honestly would prefer it that way” he grumbled. Jiang Yuelou hummed.

“Don’t tempt me, Yuzhi…I might just spend all of my free time here” he warned, making Chen Yuzhi click his tongue as he carefully helped him out of his suit jacket, suit vest, and dress shirt.

“Don’t you already do that?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou chuckled.

“Yes, but it’ll be different because I won’t be hurt” he explained. Chen Yuzhi hummed before he looked at the wound on his arm.

“Well, thankfully it’s just a graze this time” he murmured. Jiang Yuelou smiled.

“Lucky me, huh?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi tsked and rolled his eyes as he walked over to his kit and pulled out his forceps, cotton balls, and iodine, soaking one of the balls with the iodine before he walked back over to Jiang Yuelou and began cleaning the graze, causing him to hiss.

“Shit” he cursed.

“Sorry” Chen Yuzhi apologized. Jiang Yuelou shook his head.

“No, no…you’re right, if I had been more careful, I wouldn’t have to be having my arm treated right now” he grumbled. Chen Yuzhi hummed as he continued to clean the graze.

“Well, like I said, be grateful it’s a graze. And thankfully not a very deep one. It shouldn’t take that long to heal” he assured. Jiang Yuelou hummed.

“Let’s hope not. I got a shit ton of cases recently and I can’t have this slowing me down” he declared. Chen Yuzhi frowned.

“Well…take it easy. I don’t want you to end up back here because you’re being reckless on your cases” he stated. Jiang Yuelou smiled and nodded.

“I know, I know. I will” he assured. Chen Yuzhi nodded before he walked back over to his kit and grabbed a roll of bandages, walking back over to Jiang Yuelou before he began to carefully wrap his arm, making sure the dressing was secure before he looked at him.

“There” he declared, making Jiang Yuelou look down at his bandaged arm before he smiled.

“Thanks, Yuzhi” he thanked. Chen Yuzhi nodded.

“Of course” he replied before he crossed his arms and gave him a look.

“Now be careful from now on, understand me?” he ordered. Jiang Yuelou looked at him before he smiled and redressed himself, making sure he was decent before he pushed himself to his feet and stood before him.

“I understand” he replied before he leaned forward, getting in his face.

“Dr. Chen” he purred. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened and he blushed before he huffed and looked away.

“Jiang Yuelou” he murmured. Jiang Yuelou chuckled softly before he leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek, making him turn and look at him with wide eyes as he winked.

“I’ll see you later” he bid before he turned and headed out of the clinic, leaving Chen Yuzhi a blushing mess.

‘Jiang Yuelou!’ he exclaimed. Just then, the phone rang, making him look over at it in surprise before he walked over to it and picked it up, placing it to his ear.

“Chen” he answered.

“Tonight. Meet at the usual place” a voice ordered before the line went dead, causing Chen Yuzhi to sigh softly as he placed the receiver back on the hook; looks like he was working late tonight.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile, instead of heading back to the police station, Jiang Yuelou headed to a non-descript building and slipped inside, making two men rush over to him and look at him with wide eyes.

“Da ge! Are you alright?” the shorter of the two men exclaimed. Jiang Yuelou hummed.

“Fine” he replied.

“And your arm?” the taller man asked. Jiang Yuelou looked down at his arm, which was bandaged underneath his suit jacket and dress shirt, before he looked back at him and smiled.

“Cleaned and bandaged” he answered. The taller man, Song Rong, raised an eyebrow.

“By your “beloved doctor” again?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou huffed.

“You make it sound like a bad thing when you say it like that” he stated. Song Rong gave him a look.

“Because it is a bad thing. If you keep spending time with him, our rivals are going to use him against you…and you fucking know that” he snapped. Jiang Yuelou waved his hand.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to him” he assured, only for Song Rong to narrow his eyes.

“He’s a fucking civilian…are you absolutely sure you know what you’re doing?” he demanded. Jiang Yuelou shot him a glare.

“You’re lucky I like you because if you were anyone else, I would have throat punched you” he stated. Song Rong sighed.

“I’m just saying—” he started when Jiang Yuelou nodded.

“I know what you’re saying. And I hear you. I’ll be extra careful not to slip up…or visit him too much” he assured. Song Rong nodded.

“That’s all I’m asking” he replied. Jiang Yuelou hummed before he crossed his arms.

“Anything out of the ordinary? Any clues as to what our rivals might be doing?” he asked. Song Rong and the other man, Sun Yongren, shook his head.

“No…nothing so far. We’ve got people staking out all of their known hideouts but we’ve got no movements so far” Sun Yongren answered. Jiang Yuelou nodded.

“Alright…keep doing what you’re doing” he instructed. Song Rong and Sun Yongren nodded.

“Got it, boss” they replied. Jiang Yuelou nodded before he turned and headed out of the building, heading back to the police station. He had a cover to maintain.

~*~*~*~*~*~

The next day, when Jiang Yuelou went to visit Chen Yuzhi, just to visit, he wasn’t injured, he stepped inside the clinic and froze; the corner of Chen Yuzhi’s mouth was bruised.

“Yuzhi?” he called out. Chen Yuzhi looked up in surprise.

“Jiang Yuelou? What are you doing here?” he inquired before he pushed himself to his feet and walked over to the police chief, standing before him as he looked him up and down.

“Did you get hurt again?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou shook his head.

“No, no, I’m fine” he replied before he reached out and gently cupped Chen Yuzhi’s face in his hand, gently stroking the corner of his mouth with his thumb.

“But it looks like you did” he murmured before he looked at him.

“What happened?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi shook his head.

“Ah…a patient yesterday got a little…aggressive. I’m fine though” he assured. Jiang Yuelou growled softly.

“I’m not. They hurt you” he growled. Chen Yuzhi looked at him with wide eyes before he shook his head.

“It’s fine. It’s just a small bruise. It’ll heal” he assured. Jiang Yuelou made a face and gently stroked the corner of his mouth again before he huffed.

“Well, if that patient comes by again, you call me. I’ll take care of him” he declared. Chen Yuzhi blushed slightly before he nodded.

“Mm” he replied. Jiang Yuelou nodded as well before he pulled his hand away and looked at him.

“You wanna grab dinner tonight?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi smiled and nodded.

“That sounds nice” he replied. Jiang Yuelou nodded.

“Great. I’ll pick you up later tonight” he declared before he turned and headed out of the clinic, Chen Yuzhi watching him leave before he sighed and reached up, touching the corner of his mouth. The bruise definitely wasn’t from a patient…but Jiang Yuelou could never know that. He could never know that he wasn’t the sweet innocent doctor that treated everyone with a kind smile…but a cold and cruel gang member that would break your neck at the drop of a hat if so ordered.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Later that evening, as Chen Yuzhi was finishing up for the day, his phone rang, making him look at it with wide eyes before he shut his eyes and sighed heavily.

‘God, no, why now?!’ he whined. He was looking forward to a nice relaxing dinner with Jiang Yuelou, he didn’t want to work. He then reached out and picked up the phone, placing it to his ear.

“Chen” he answered.

“Yuzhi” a voice replied, making his eyes widen.

“Oh, Yuelou” he greeted.

“Sorry, can we raincheck on the dinner tonight? I just got a case and I think it’s gonna run late…” Jiang Yuelou started, causing Chen Yuzhi to blink before he shook his head, even though Jiang Yuelou couldn’t see it.

“No, no, that’s fine. Work comes first, after all” he stated. Jiang Yuelou sighed.

“I know but…I was looking forward to dinner with you tonight” he murmured. Chen Yuzhi smiled slightly.

“I was too. But it’s okay. We can always do it another time” he assured.

“You really are too good for me” Jiang Yuelou murmured. Chen Yuzhi chuckled softly.

“I wouldn’t go that far…” he argued.

“I gotta go. I’ll talk to you later, okay? And I’m sorry again” Jiang Yuelou apologized. Chen Yuzhi huffed softly.

“Yuelou, it’s fine. Go” he instructed. Jiang Yuelou hummed before he hung up, Chen Yuzhi placing the receiver back in its cradle before he sighed softly; now he actually kind of wanted to work…take his mind off the disappointment of not being able to spend time with Jiang Yuelou. Just then, his phone rang again, making him look at it in surprise before he huffed.

“Speak of the devil” he mumbled before he reached out and picked up the phone, placing it to his ear again.

“Chen” he answered.

“Meeting tonight. At the headquarters. Don’t be late” a voice ordered. Chen Yuzhi hummed.

“Understood” he replied before he hung up the phone and huffed. Well…he got what he wished for.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile, at the non-descript building, Jiang Yuelou placed the phone back on the hook before he turned and looked over at Song Rong and Sun Yongren.

“There had better be a good fucking reason for me canceling my dinner plans tonight” he growled. Song Rong nodded.

“We found a mole” he declared. Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened before he growled.

“Take me to him” he ordered. Song Rong and Sun Yongren nodded, quickly guiding him through the building to an interrogation room where a man, who was practically beaten to hell, was on his knees, panting harshly. Jiang Yuelou then knelt before him and reached out, grabbing him by the hair before yanking his head up so that he was looking him in the eyes.

“Who are you working for?” he growled. The man looked at him through narrowed eyes before he shook his head, causing Jiang Yuelou to sigh.

“Look, there’s two ways this can go. You can either talk to me…or you can talk to the boss. And you know that I’m a lot nicer than the boss when it comes to traitors…you know this. So…what’ll it be?” he asked. The man still didn’t answer, causing him to sigh again.

“Alright. Boss it is” he declared before he released the man’s hair and pushed himself to his feet, turning to walk away when the man lifted his head.

“Wait, wait!” he exclaimed, making Jiang Yuelou stop and turn to look at him with a raised eyebrow as he let out a shuddering breath.

“The 白龙. The 白龙 is who I’m working for” he admitted. Jiang Yuelou narrowed his eyes and slowly walked back over to him before he knelt before him and looked him in the eyes.

“And why…are you here? What did you tell them?” he demanded. The man let out another shuddering breath.

“They put me here…a couple of months ago. I only told them drop schedules, shipment imports…things like that” he explained, just as Song Rong snarled.

“So you’re the reason our inventory has been getting stolen” he snarled. The man looked at him and nodded as Jiang Yuelou growled.

"Traitor” he hissed. The man shook his head.

“I’m sorry” he apologized, making Jiang Yuelou snarl before he held out his hand, Sun Yongren handing him a gun which he then cocked and fired into the man’s head, watching as he slumped over, dead. He then pushed himself to his feet and handed the gun back to Sun Yongren before he sighed.

“Dispose of this before the boss sees” he ordered. Song Rong and Sun Yongren nodded, making to take the body away when Jiang Yuelou paused.

“Wait…don’t we have a new shipment coming in next week?” he asked. Song Rong and Sun Yongren paused as well before Song Rong nodded.

“I think so” he replied. Jiang Yuelou shut his eyes and took a deep breath before he looked at them.

“Tell the others. Prepare for war” he declared.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile, in Chen Yuzhi’s gang’s headquarters, Chen Yuzhi crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.

“Alright, so what is this meeting about?” he asked. One of the other members looked at him and smiled.

“Next week, Jinma Hall has a new shipment coming in…and thanks to the mole we planted int their gang, we know when and where…and we’re gonna hit it” they declared. Chen Yuzhi frowned.

“Hit it…at the same time they’re coming to pick it up?” he inferred. Another member nodded.

“Yeah…it’s gonna be an all-out turf war” they replied. Chen Yuzhi hummed and nodded slowly as one of the members looked at him.

“You’re not gonna tell your cop boyfriend about the raid, are you?” they asked, making Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widen and look over at them in shock.

“What?” he breathed. All of the members laughed.

“Don’t think we don’t know about your little relationship with “Chief Jiang Yuelou”, Dr. Chen” one of the members sneered. Chen Yuzhi stared at them in horror as they all looked at him.

“So…you’re not going to tell him, right?” they asked. Chen Yuzhi blinked before he shook his head.

“No” he replied. All of the members nodded.

“Good. Because if you did…you know what we’d have to do” one of them stated. Chen Yuzhi gulped before he nodded; he knew. He knew exactly what they would do to Jiang Yuelou if he told, and Chen Yuzhi never wanted Jiang Yuelou to find out about this part of him…so he would keep quiet. For Jiang Yuelou’s safety and for his.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Over the next week, as Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi’s gangs prepared for the upcoming war, Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi hardly saw each other but that was better, in their opinion, because they both thought that the other was just a civilian and didn’t want them involved in the mess that was the gang life.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Then, the day of the raid came and both gangs were ready, and itching, for a fight because it was a long time coming and one of them needed to be put in their place. When they arrived at the shipment drop sight, both gangs stared at each other before someone from the 白龙 fired a shot at someone in Jinma Hall, signaling the beginning of the war. Both gangs then rushed at each other, guns blazing and fists flying, and within minutes bodies were dropping like flies, blood everywhere. Chen Yuzhi, of course, was a very good fighter and anytime someone got too close to him, he took them down with ease and killer precision. After he had taken down his latest Jinma Hall member, a gun clicked behind him, causing him to freeze.

“Get up. Slowly” a voice ordered. At the voice, Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened and he slowly pushed himself to his feet before he turned, his eyes widening even further at the sight of the familiar face in front of him.

“Jiang Yuelou?” he whispered. Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened.

“Chen Yuzhi?” he breathed. They then stared at each other before Jiang Yuelou shook his head.

“What are you doing here?” he demanded. Chen Yuzhi laughed mirthlessly.

“I should be asking you the same thing” he replied. Silence then fell over them before Jiang Yuelou shook his head again.

“You…never were a doctor, were you?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi smiled sadly.

“It was a cover at first…but I really am a doctor. I promise” he replied. He then tilted his head.

“You’re not really a cop, are you?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou shook his head.

“Like you, it was just a cover” he replied. Chen Yuzhi laughed weakly before he shook his head.

“I’m sorry…I never wanted you to see this side of me…” he croaked. Jiang nodded.

“I never wanted you to see this side of me either” he stated before he motioned to him with his gun.

“Come on…raise your gun” he ordered. Chen Yuzhi shook his head.

“I don’t…I don’t want to hurt you” he croaked. Jiang Yuelou shook his head.

“I don’t want to hurt you either…but one of us is going to have to die. You know this” he stated. Chen Yuzhi shook his head again.

“We don’t have to…we don’t have to do this” he argued. Jiang Yuelou sighed.

“Yuzhi, you know that if we don’t kill each other…our gangs will” he reminded. Chen Yuzhi shook his head a third time.

“I don’t care. I would rather die by them than ever raise a gun to you” he declared, causing Jiang Yuelou to growl.

“Damn it, Yuzhi! Just shoot me! You’re a doctor, you know where to shoot me where you won’t kill me” he snapped. Chen Yuzhi shook his head.

“I won’t. I won’t hurt you” he argued, just as one of his members appeared behind Jiang Yuelou, their gun raised. At the sight of the gun, Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened before he ran forward and threw his arms around Jiang Yuelou in a hug, causing him to look at him in shock.

“Chen Yuzhi, what—” he started when Chen Yuzhi suddenly spun him around and shoved him away, just as the member fired, the bullet meant for him imbedding itself in Chen Yuzhi’s shoulder instead. Chen Yuzhi then staggered and clutched at his shoulder as Jiang Yuelou looked at him with wide eyes.

“Chen Yuzhi. Chen Yuzhi, why—” he started when Chen Yuzhi looked at him and smiled weakly.

“Because I love you” he confessed. At his confession, Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened, just as his eyes fluttered and he collapsed, nearly hitting the floor had Jiang Yuelou not surged forward and caught him, his arms tight around him.

“Chen Yuzhi!” he exclaimed. They both then sunk to the floor of the warehouse, Jiang Yuelou staring at Chen Yuzhi with wide eyes before he looked up at the 白龙 member, who was staring at Chen Yuzhi in shock.

“Bastard” he snarled before he pulled out his gun and fired a shot, hitting the member between the eyes before he lowered his gun and looked back down at Chen Yuzhi, gently shaking him.

“Chen Yuzhi. Chen Yuzhi” he called out. Chen Yuzhi, however, didn’t answer, causing him to whimper softly, just as searing pain suddenly shot through him, causing his eyes to widen as he let out a gasp before his eyes fluttered and he slumped over, Chen Yuzhi still cradled in his arms.

~*~*~*~*~*~

When he woke up several hours later, Jiang Yuelou found himself lying in a hospital bed, shirtless save for the bandage wrapped around his shoulder and upper torso.

“You’re awake” a voice murmured, making him look over to see his boss, Zhan Junbai, sitting beside him.

“Zhan-xiong” he croaked as Zhan Junbai crossed his arms.

“I heard that one of the members of the 白龙 took a bullet for you” he stated. Jiang Yuelou blinked before he nodded.

“Yeah…” he replied. Zhan Junbai tilted his head.

“Now why would they do that?” he inquired. Jiang Yuelou looked at him before he took a shuddering breath.

“Because he loves me” he answered. Zhan Junbai raised an eyebrow.

“Loves you? You’re in a relationship with this member?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou nodded.

“Yes…before I knew that he was a part of the 白龙” he replied. He then looked at him.

“Is he okay? If I’m here then he has to be here, right?” he asked. Zhan Junbai, however, just looked at him and didn’t say anything, causing him to shake his head.

“Zhan-xiong” he pleaded. Zhan Junbai sighed heavily.

“Yes, he’s here. When Song Rong and Sun Yongren tried to bring you in, you wouldn’t let go of him, so they brought him too. You both survived your surgeries” he stated. Jiang Yuelou let out a breath of relief.

“Good…that’s good” he breathed. Zhan Junbai hummed.

“You seem to care a lot about him” he observed. Jiang Yuelou looked at him before he nodded.

“Yeah, I do” he replied. Zhan Junbai hummed again.

“Well…that might be a problem then” he murmured, causing Jiang Yuelou to frown.

“What do you mean? What are you planning on doing?” he demanded. Zhan Junbai just looked at him, causing his eyes to widen before he shook his head.

“No. Zhan-xiong, don’t. Don’t hurt him, please” he pleaded. Zhan Junbai growled.

“He is a distraction, Jiang Yuelou. You are my second-in-command; I cannot have you be distracted, especially by a rival no less” he hissed. Jiang Yuelou looked at him before he shook his head.

“Then let me go” he declared. Zhan Junbai’s eyes widened.

“Let you go?” he repeated. Jiang Yuelou nodded.

“Let me go. Let me live a normal life…with him” he requested. Zhan Junbai shook his head.

“People don’t just leave, Jiang Yuelou” he reminded. Jiang Yuelou nodded again.

“I know…which is why I’m asking you. I’ve never asked you for anything before…so please” he whispered. Zhan Junbai was quiet before he looked at him.

“But what if he doesn’t want to leave the life and be with you?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou was quiet before he sighed.

“If he doesn’t want to leave…then I suppose I’ll just have to stay” he replied. Zhan Junbai hummed before he reached out and gently patted his arm.

“Get some rest” he instructed before he turned and headed out of the room, Jiang Yuelou watching him leave before he hummed softly and shut his eyes, letting the drugs pull him back under.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile, in another hospital room, Chen Yuzhi slowly opened his eyes, hissing as everything hurt.

“Chen Yuzhi” a voice greeted, making him look over to see his boss, Wang Meng, standing at his bedside, a deep frown on his face.

“Wang Meng” he whispered. Wang Meng shook his head.

“You fucking idiot, risking your life for someone from Jinma Hall” he hissed. Chen Yuzhi looked at him before he shook his head.

“I couldn’t let anything happen to him” he stated. Wang Meng shook his head.

“Why?!” he demanded.

“Because I love him” Chen Yuzhi answered. Wang Meng’s eyes widened.

“You…Chen Yuzhi! He is our rival! You can’t be in love with him!” he shouted. Chen Yuzhi shook his head.

“I fell in love with him before I knew he was part of Jinma Hall…and I still love him even now, even if he is our rival” he declared. Wang Meng shook his head.

“No…no, this is unacceptable. I need to put a stop to this, once and for all” he growled, turning and making for the door as Chen Yuzhi shot up.

“No, Wang Meng, don’t—” he started when pain suddenly sung through his body, causing him to gasp and clutch at his shoulder just as the door opened, making him look up to see Zhan Junbai standing in the doorway.

“Zhan Junbai” Wang Meng growled.

“Wang Meng” Zhan Junbai replied coolly before he looked over at Chen Yuzhi, who was still clutching at his shoulder, and hummed softly.

“I’d like a word with your man, if you don’t mind” he requested. Wang Meng, however, made no effort to move, causing him to look over at him.

“Privately” he added. Wang Meng growled.

“If you hurt him, I’m killing your man on the spot” he hissed. Zhan Junbai huffed.

“Relax. I won’t” he assured before he waved his hand.

“Now shoo” he ordered. Wang Meng narrowed his eyes and growled before he did as he was told and left the room, leaving Zhan Junbai and Chen Yuzhi alone. Once he was gone, Zhan Junbai quietly closed the door before he walked over to Chen Yuzhi and looked him up and down.

“So…you’re the one who saved Jiang-xiong’s life” he murmured. Chen Yuzhi nodded slowly.

“I am” he replied before he looked at him.

“How is he? Is he okay?” he asked. Zhan Junbai hummed.

“Like you, he is a bit…incapacitated at the moment” he replied. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened.

“What?” he breathed.

“He got shot” Zhan Junbai deadpanned. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened even further before he shook his head.

“No…no, I stepped in front of him so that he wouldn’t get hurt—” he started just as his shoulder twinged, causing him to gasp and squeeze his eyes shut as more pain sung through him. As he sat there, hissing and clutching at his shoulder in pain, Zhan Junbai looked at him sympathetically before he reached out and placed a gentle hand on his shoulder.

“Lie down…you’re still healing” he murmured. Chen Yuzhi glanced at him before he nodded and slowly laid back down, wincing slightly before he looked up at him.

“Is he okay?” he asked. Zhan Junbai nodded.

“He’s alright” he assured before he looked at him.

“Jiang-xiong requested something of me…and I want to know your answer” he declared, causing Chen Yuzhi to look back at him and frown.

“What did he request?” he asked.

“He requested to leave the gang. He wants to leave and live a normal life…with you” Zhan Junbai answered. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened.

“He…he said that?” he whispered. Zhan Junbai nodded before he tilted his head.

“And you? Do you want to leave the gang life? And be with him?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi looked at him before he nodded.

“I do. More than anything. But I…I don’t think it’ll be possible. Because no one can just…leave the gang” he explained. Zhan Junbai chuckled softly.

“They can…if given permission” he stated. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened and he looked at him in shock.

“Are you saying—” he started.

“If you two want to leave and live a normal life…I will grant his request” Zhan Junbai declared. Chen Yuzhi blinked.

“You mean it?” he whispered. Zhan Junbai smiled slightly.

“I am a man of my word. And Jiang-xiong is a life-long friend of mine. He’s been by my side since the beginning but now…” he started before he looked at him.

“It’s time for him to stand by someone else’s side” he finished. Chen Yuzhi looked at him with wide eyes before he shook his head.

“Will Wang Meng even let me go?” he asked. Zhan Junbai smiled.

“Don’t worry. I can be very…persuasive” he replied before he reached out and gently patted his arm. He then turned and headed out of the room, leaving Chen Yuzhi a little stunned. Could he…potentially have a normal life? One where he could just be…himself? Free from the gang and from…everything that came with it? Could he and Jiang Yuelou really be…free?

~*~*~*~*~*~

A few weeks later, after checking out of the hospital with a healed shoulder and a clean bill of health, Chen Yuzhi was back in his clinic, going over some paperwork when someone stepped into his clinic, a small smile on their face.

“Chen Yuzhi” they called out. At his name, Chen Yuzhi looked up, his eyes widening as he let out a gasp.

“Jiang Yuelou” he breathed before he shot to his feet and ran over to the man, throwing his arms around him in a tight hug.

“You’re okay” he sobbed as Jiang Yuelou wrapped his arms around him and shut his eyes, letting out a soft sight of content as he hugged him back just as tightly before he pulled away and cupped his face in his hands.

"Don't you ever do something like that again. Understand me? Don’t you ever” he ordered. Chen Yuzhi nodded.

“I know. I know, I’m sorry, I just—” he started when Jiang Yuelou surged forward and kissed him, hard, causing him to let out a noise of surprise as Jiang Yuelou pulled away before pulling him in for another tight hug.

“I never want to experience something like that again” he whispered. Chen Yuzhi nodded before he wrapped his arms around him and buried his face in his shoulder, both men saying nothing as they stood there, hugging each other tightly. After a while, they pulled away, Chen Yuzhi looking into Jiang Yuelou’s eyes.

“Are you—” he started when Jiang Yuelou smiled and nodded.

“I’m out. Are you?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi smiled and nodded, his eyes glistening.

“I am” he whispered. Jiang Yuelou grinned before he surged forward and kissed him again, Chen Yuzhi humming happily before they pulled away, Jiang Yuelou smiling as he gently caressed his cheek.

“It feels so good to do that without worrying about the consequences” he admitted. Chen Yuzhi smiled and nodded as Jiang Yuelou tilted his head.

“Well, what do you want to do first with our newfound freedom?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi hummed, thinking about it, before he looked at him.

“How about we have that dinner you promised me?” he suggested. Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened before he laughed and nodded.

“Yeah. Yeah, I can do that” he agreed before he held out his hand.

“Shall we, Dr. Chen?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi smiled and took his hand, giving it a squeeze.

“Let’s, Chief Jiang” he replied.

i don’t have my prompt note book, so this is right off my brain with a bit of research

Oh, all of these are great. Since we were talking about it, I'm gonna go with the first one and then answer the other ones separately. This one is gonna be inspired by High & Low The Worst

It was a calm and quiet morning as Jiang Yuelou, leader of the 天狗吃日 was sitting at his desk in his study, enjoying his morning coffee when one of his subordinates walked over to him.

“Boss” they greeted. Jiang Yuelou looked up at them.

“Song Rong. What is it?” he asked. His subordinate, Song Rong, reached into his pocket and pulled out a small bottle full of red pills, placing it before him.

“Found this on one of the younger kids” he stated. Jiang Yuelou frowned and reached out, picking up the bottle.

“The hell is this?” he asked.

“Redrum” Song Rong answered. Jiang Yuelou looked up at him and raised an eyebrow.

“Redrum?” he repeated. Song Rong nodded.

“Mm” he replied. Jiang Yuelou shook his head.

“The hell is Redrum?” he demanded. Song Rong hummed.

“If I remember correctly, it was originally sold as a source of income for Kuryu” he answered. Jiang Yuelou frowned.

“Kuryu? Never heard of ‘em” he stated.

“An old Japanese gang based out here in Jing City. Another gang by the name of Doubt helped them with that” Song Rong explained. Jiang Yuelou frowned.

“And you think this Doubt is pushing the Redrum?” he asked. Song Rong shook his head.

“No, they were wiped out a while ago” he stated. Jiang Yuelou hummed.

“How bad is it?” he asked. Song Rong hummed.

“Pretty bad. Almost as bad as opium” he replied. Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened.

“What?” he breathed. Song Rong nodded.

“Mm” he replied. Jiang Yuelou growled before he looked towards the door of his study.

“Zhan-xiong!” he shouted. A moment later, another man stepped into the study and walked over to him, raising an eyebrow.

“You called?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou nodded as he picked up the bottle of Redrum and handed it to him.

“You know your way around drugs. Figure out who’s pushing this” he ordered. The man, Zhan Junbai, reached out and took the bottle, holding it between his thumb and forefinger before he hummed.

“Redrum…haven’t seen this in a while. I think I might still have some connections. I’ll ask around” he declared. Jiang Yuelou nodded.

“Go do that please” he requested. Zhan Junbai nodded before he turned and headed out of the office as Jiang Yuelou looked at Song Rong.

“Anything else?” he asked. Song Rong hummed.

“I heard this Redrum’s a problem in the 白龙 territory, on the other side of the city” he stated. Jiang Yuelou raised an eyebrow.

“白龙?” he repeated. Song Rong nodded.

“Mm. While their name might be “The White Dragons”, really they’re known as the “Murder Corps”. Everyone in that gang, save for the leader and a chosen few men, shaves their heads” he explained. Jiang Yuelou hummed.

“How tough are they?” he asked.

“Ridiculously tough. All of the members are strong but the leader…he’s the strongest” Song Rong explained. Jiang Yuelou hummed again.

“I see. I wonder if I’ll ever get to meet them one day” he murmured. Song Rong shook his head.

“Going up against the 白龙 is a bad idea. They’re ridiculously strong…or did you miss that part?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou huffed.

“No, I heard you. I’m just amazed that there’s someone out there who’s almost as strong as me” he murmured. Song Rong hummed.

“Or stronger” he stated. Jiang Yuelou tsked.

“Doubt it” he replied before he looked at him.

“Is that it?” he asked. Song Rong nodded.

“Yes sir” he replied. Jiang Yuelou nodded and waved his hand.

“Dismissed” he declared. Song Rong nodded and headed out of the study as Jiang Yuelou sighed and picked up his cup of coffee, taking a sip.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile, across town, in a large mansion, many baldheaded men dressed in grey suits were standing around in the foyer of the mansion when a young man dressed in a three-piece white suit stepped into the mansion, making all of the bald men look at him before they bowed 45 degrees.

“Good morning” they greeted, their voices a resounding echo.

“Good morning” the young man replied before he headed into the living room, where his right-hand and left-hand man, Yu Tangchun and Wang Meng, were waiting for him, both men dipping their heads to him. He dipped his head to them in returned before he walked over to one of the chairs in the living room and sat down as the rest of the men followed him, all of them surrounding him in a half-circle.

“Forgive me for being late” he apologized, just as the left-hand man, Wang Meng stepped forward.

“We have a problem” he stated. The young man and leader of the 白龙, Chen Yuzhi, raised an eyebrow.

“Oh?” he asked. His right-hand man, Yu Tangchun, nodded as he placed a small bottle of Redrum on the coffee table before him.

“Redrum” he deadpanned. Chen Yuzhi frowned and reached out, picking up the bottle before he looked up.

“Chu Min!” he called out. Just then, a young boy quickly pushed his way through before he bowed.

“I still haven’t figured out where it’s from” he stated. Chen Yuzhi hummed.

“Can you look into it a bit more?” he asked. Chu Min nodded.

“Yes ge” he replied. Chen Yuzhi nodded before he looked at a few of the baldheaded men.

“Go with him” he ordered. The men nodded and quickly turned on their heels, waiting for Chu Min to head out first before they followed after him. Once they were gone, Chen Yuzhi looked at Wang Meng.

“Follow him” he instructed. Wang Meng nodded and quickly followed after them, another group of men following behind him until it was just Chen Yuzhi, Yu Tangchun, and another group of subordinates.

“Any other problems?” Chen Yuzhi asked.

“Hmm…there was a small fight with another gang, but it was taken care of. Nothing for you to worry about” Yu Tangchun replied. Chen Yuzhi nodded.

“Alright. Thank you” he thanked before he waved his hand, Yu Tangchun and the others leaving the room as he shut his eyes and leaned his head back against the chair, letting out a heavy sigh.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Later that afternoon, Chen Yuzhi left the mansion and headed to a nearby elementary school, patiently waiting outside the gate till a little girl in a pink dress came running over to him.

“Gege!” she exclaimed, causing him to smile as he knelt down, his arms open wide as she ran into them, hugging him tightly.

“A-Ying” he greeted before he pulled away and stood to his feet, taking her hand before they both began to walk away from the school.

“So? How was school?” he inquired. The little girl, his younger sister Keying, nodded.

“It was good!” she replied. Chen Yuzhi smiled.

“That’s good” he murmured. They then began to cross the street and head to their usual snack shop to get a treat (as that was their afterschool routine) when a horn suddenly blared, making them both look up to see a car speeding towards them.

“LOOK OUT!” a voice shouted before arms suddenly wrapped around both of their waists and yanked them out of the path of the speeding car, both of them stumbling back before they turned to see Jiang Yuelou looking at them in concern.

“Are you two alright?” he demanded. Chen Yuzhi blinked before he nodded slowly as Keying sniffled, her bottom lip beginning to wobble. At her sniffle, both Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened before they knelt before her, Chen Yuzhi shaking his head.

“It’s okay. You’re okay” he soothed, reaching out to gently wipe away the tears streaming down her face before he looked over at Jiang Yuelou.

“Thank you” he thanked. Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened before he smiled and nodded.

“No problem” he replied. They both then stood to their feet as Jiang Yuelou motioned to the snack shop.

“Are you still going? I’ll walk with you” he offered. Chen Yuzhi blinked before he dipped his head.

“Thank you” he thanked before he looked at Keying.

“Come on, A-Ying. Let’s go get your snack” he declared. Keying nodded before the three of them crossed the road, safely reaching the snack shop on the other side. They then stepped inside, Keying quickly grabbing a drink and a snack while Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi only grabbed drinks, Jiang Yuelou paying for all of them.

“What…you didn’t have to do that—” Chen Yuzhi started when Jiang Yuelou smiled.

“I know. But I don’t mind” he replied before he handed Keying her snack and drink and Chen Yuzhi his drink, smiling again.

“I know a nice park nearby” he stated. Chen Yuzhi nodded before they headed out of the snack shop, the three of them heading to the park that Jiang Yuelou talked about. They then headed to a nice shady spot, the three of them sitting down before Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi cracked open their drinks while Keying ate her snack, just enjoying the peaceful moment. After she had eaten, Keying looked at Chen Yuzhi.

“Gege, can I go play?” she asked. Chen Yuzhi nodded.

“Don’t stray too far” he replied. Keying nodded and ran off to go play with some of the other kids that were in the park as Chen Yuzhi looked over at Jiang Yuelou.

“I never got your name” he stated. Jiang Yuelou looked back at him in surprise before he smiled.

“Jiang Yuelou. And you?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi dipped his head.

“Chen Yuzhi” he replied. Jiang Yuelou hummed before he looked over to his right and motioned with his chin to Keying.

“Your kid?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi shook his head.

“Sister” he corrected. Jiang Yuelou hummed.

“She’s cute” he complimented. Chen Yuzhi smiled.

“Yeah, she is” he agreed before he looked at Jiang Yuelou.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen you around this part of town before” he stated. Jiang Yuelou smiled.

“I was just walking, getting some fresh air” he explained. Chen Yuzhi nodded slowly before he looked at him.

“Thank you for pulling us out of the way of that car” he thanked. Jiang Yuelou shook his head.

“Not a problem. It was their fault anyways; you had the right of way” he stated. Chen Yuzhi hummed.

“Still” he murmured. Jiang Yuelou hummed as well before silence fell over them and they just opted to watch Keying play with the other children, neither man saying anything for a while before Chen Yuzhi looked over at Jiang Yuelou.

“Have you ever stood at the top?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou raised an eyebrow before he hummed.

“No. But I will soon. What about you?” he replied. Chen Yuzhi was quiet before he looked away and stared at Keying.

“I’m…still not there” he admitted. Jiang Yuelou hummed.

“I see. So neither of us are there yet” he murmured before he pushed himself to his feet and looked at him.

“Best of luck, Yuzhi. And tell Keying I said goodbye” he requested. Chen Yuzhi looked back at him before he smiled slightly and dipped his head.

“I will” he assured. Jiang Yuelou smiled and nodded before he turned and slipped away, Chen Yuzhi watching him walk away before he turned his attention back to Keying, a small smile on his face.

~*~*~*~*~*~

A little while later, when Chen Yuzhi and Keying returned to the mansion, all of the skinheads bowed to them as Wang Meng walked over to Chen Yuzhi.

“Chu Min and I are gonna do a quick patrol tonight, just to make sure there’s no selling going on” he stated. Chen Yuzhi nodded as Keying looked up at him.

“Can I go with them, gege?” she asked. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened and he shook his head.

“Absolutely not. It’s too dangerous and besides, it’s a school night” he stated. Keying pouted.

“Please I wanna see what Uncle meng and Chu Min do! I wanna see what it’s like!” she exclaimed. Chen Yuzhi shook his head again.

“No—” he started.

“Oh, let her come, Yuzhi” Wang Meng insisted, causing Chen Yuzhi to look at him with wide eyes.

“Wang Meng, she is a child” he hissed. Wang Meng huffed.

“And we’re just doing a simple patrol. We’ll be back in like an hour. If Chu Min and I are with her, it’ll be fine” he assured. Chen Yuzhi made a face before he sighed heavily.

“Fine” he grumbled, making Keying grin and throw her arms around him.

“Thank you gege!” she exclaimed. Chen Yuzhi hummed and gently patted her head.

“Just be careful and listen to whatever Wang Meng and Chu Min tell you, understand?” he instructed. Keying nodded.

“Yes gege!” she replied. Chen Yuzhi nodded.

“Good girl” he praised.

~*~*~*~*~*~

That evening, on the other side of town, Song Rong was doing his nightly patrol when a bunch of skinheads with metal pipes suddenly surrounded him, causing him to frown.

“Who the fuck are you guys?” he demanded. One of the skinheads, who was wearing a white hoodie, looked at him.

“You’re from the 天狗吃日, right?” they replied. Song Rong frowned.

“What?” he asked. Just then, one of the skinheads struck him in the head with a wrench, sending him into a nearby pile of trash, causing him to clutch at his head in pain before he swiped a bunch of trash at the skinheads, all of them stepping back to avoid getting hit.

“With you around, we can’t do our job” the hooded skinhead snarled. Song Rong looked up at them with narrowed eyes.

“Huh?” he asked. The hooded skinhead then tilted his head.

“Why don’t you get lost?” he suggested before he motioned for the others to attack, one of the men throwing a pipe at Song Rong, which he quickly dodged before he rushed at another skinhead and punched them in the face, just as another skinhead came up behind him and grabbed him, holding him in place as the man with the white hoodie took a pipe and struck him in the stomach with it, causing him to cry out in pain.

“Hurts, doesn’t it?” he sneered before he grabbed Song Rong by the hair and threw him into the pile of trash again, Song Rong quickly catching him before he grabbed a nearby crate full of beer bottles and threw it at the men, the men step siding it as the bottles shattered against the wall behind them. One of the men then rushed at him, but he quickly dodged their attack before he took off running, only to have another skinhead whack him in the back with a metal pipe, sending him to the ground as the other skinheads practically descended upon him like a pack of wolves and began practically beating the hell out of him.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Wang Meng, Keying, and Chu Min were doing their patrol, Keying’s hand held tightly in Wang Meng’s.

“Uncle Meng, this is boring…” Keying whined, causing Wang Meng to laugh softly.

“You’re the one who wanted to come” he reminded. Keying pouted.

“I know, but I thought we’d be doing something cool…not just walking around” she grumbled. Chu Min smiled.

“Sorry Keying, but that’s what patrolling means” he stated. Keying hummed, just as Wang Meng stopped, making her and Chu Min look up to see two men dressed in all black with bandanas over their faces and bats in their hands standing before them.

“Who the fuck are you?” Wang Meng demanded.

“We’re from the 天狗吃日” one of the men replied. Chu Min frowned.

“天狗吃日? On this side of town?” he murmured. Just then, more people dressed in black with bats in their hands came running up behind them, causing Keying to turn before she let out a scream, alerting Wang Meng and Chu Min of the oncoming attackers. Wang Meng then let go of her hand and looked at her.

“Run Keying! Run!” he barked. Keying nodded and took off running as one of the men in black pointed at her.

“Grab the girl!” he ordered, causing Keying’s eyes to widen before she began running even harder, two men chasing after her. While she was running for her life, Wang Meng and Chu Min began fighting off the goons, Wang Meng absolutely taking anyone who got too close to him down while Chu Min did his best to hold his own against one goon. However, he was still young and wasn’t as strong as Wang Meng, so him going against an adult was kind of an unfair fight, especially one where the adult had a fucking metal pipe. The adult from 天狗吃日 then whacked him in the arm with the pipe, causing him to scream before he kicked him into some metal barrels, making Wang Meng turn and look at him with wide eyes.

“Chu Min!” he shouted. He then began to run towards him when one of the 天狗吃日 members whacked him in the back with a crowbar, sending him to the ground before pouncing on him, pressing the crowbar to his neck. Wang Meng, however, still had fight in him and was able to push the crowbar away before he reached up and yanked the bandana away from his attacker’s face, narrowing his eyes.

“I’ll remember you” he growled. The man laughed.

“Like hell you will” he sneered. Wang Meng growled before he punched him in the face, sending him off of him before he began to push himself up, only to have more 天狗吃日 members run over to him and cover him with a blanket before they began to beat the absolute hell out of him. Just then, Yu Tangchun and a few other skinheads, who were also out on patrol, noticed the fight before Yu Tangchun growled.

“What the hell is going on?!” he roared. At his roar, the 天狗吃日 members looked at them before they rushed off, a few of the skinheads running after them as Yu Tangchun ran over to Wang Meng and yanked off the blanket, only to see that Wang Meng was a bloody mess.

“Wang Meng!” he exclaimed, just as Chu Min, who was clutching his arm, ran over to them, his eyes wide.

“Meng-ge!” he cried. Yu Tangchun then reached out and touched the blood that was pooling around Wang Meng’s head, letting out a low growl before he looked at the others.

“Call an ambulance!” he barked. One of the skinheads nodded and pulled out their phone, dialing 110 while Yu Tangchun looked around, frowning.

“Where’s Keying?” he murmured before he looked at Chu Min.

“Where the hell’s Keying?!” he demanded. Chu Min’s eyes widened before he shook his head.

“I don’t know! Meng-ge told her to run and then two guys chased after her…I think they grabbed her” he replied. Yu Tangchun let out another growl before he slapped his hand on the ground.

“Shit” he hissed.

~*~*~*~*~*~

The next morning, on Jiang Yuelou’s side of the city, Jiang Yuelou was sitting in his study, reading a book when Zhan Junbai walked in.

“Got some information on your Redrum suppliers” he called out, making Jiang Yuelou look up and raise an eyebrow.

“Oh yeah? Who?” he asked.

“Two brothers by the name of Sun. Sun Heying and Sun Heming. They’re leading a gang called Kidra” Zhan Junbai answered, sitting down on the edge of Jiang Yuelou’s desk. Jiang Yuelou hummed.

“Kidra…never heard of ‘em” he stated. Zhan Junbai huffed.

“Not surprised. They’re an up-and-coming gang; came from Hong Kong” he explained. Jiang Yuelou raised an eyebrow.

“A Hong Kong based gang?” he asked. Zhan Junbai shook his head.

“That’s just where the brothers are from. Everyone apart of their gang is local” he replied. Jiang Yuelou nodded slowly.

“And they’re the ones pushing this Redrum?” he asked. Zhan Junbai nodded.

“So I’ve heard” he stated. Jiang Yuelou hummed.

“Kidra…” he murmured before he looked at him.

“How’s Song Rong?” he asked. Zhan Junbai sighed.

“Resting. He was beaten pretty badly and he got a few stitches to the wound to his head” he replied. Jiang Yuelou hummed as he looked at him.

“But you know what he told me?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou raised an eyebrow.

“Hmm?” he replied.

“All of the guys who attacked him were bald and wearing grey suits” Zhan Junbai stated. Jiang Yuelou frowned.

“Bald and grey suits…” he started, just as one of his younger subordinates ran into the study, his eyes wide.

“Boss!” he exclaimed. Zhan Junbai and Jiang Yuelou looked at him.

“Xiao Hei? What is it?” Jiang Yuelou asked.

“One of the kids just got cracked in the head by a bald guy in a grey suit!” Xiao Hei exclaimed. Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened and he put his book down as Xiao Hei walked over to him and handed him a piece of paper.

“And they gave him this” he stated. Jiang Yuelou frowned and took the paper before he opened it, looking it over.

“We’ll crush everyone who gets in the way of our business. We’ll settle this with you tomorrow. 白龙” he read aloud. Zhan Junbai and Xiao Hei looked at him in surprise.

“白龙?!” they exclaimed.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile, on Chen Yuzhi’s side of the city, at the hospital, in the ICU, Wang Meng was hooked up to various machines, unconscious, with an oxygen mask over his face while Chen Yuzhi sat outside, holding Wang Meng’s bloody jacket in his hands, clutching the fabric tightly. While he sat outside the ICU, Yu Tangchun and the other members of the 白龙 were in Chu Min’s hospital room, Yu Tangchun leaning against the wall with his arms crossed in front of him.

“天狗吃日. That’s what they said?” he asked. Chu Min nodded.

“Mm” he replied. Yu Tangchun frowned.

“Aren’t they on the other side of the city? Why would they come all this way to pick a fight on our side?” he demanded. Chu Min shook his head.

“I don’t know” he replied.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Back in Jiang Yuelou’s study, Zhan Junbai frowned.

“So…this is their doing” he murmured. Xiao Hei nodded.

“Sounds like a declaration of war” he stated. Jiang Yuelou shook his head.

“I don’t know why they would want to start fighting now…we’ve never had trouble with them before” he murmured. Zhan Junbai huffed.

“Seems like they’re picking a fight with us, beating up our men like this” he muttered. Xiao Hei nodded.

“Maybe they want to take our territory too” he mused. Jiang Yuelou tsked.

“Doesn’t matter why they started this fight…if they want a fight, they’ll get a fucking fight. They injured Song Rong. This is fucking personal. We’re going” he growled.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Back in the hospital, Chen Yuzhi slowly made his way through the halls until he entered Chu Min’s hospital room, Wang Meng’s jacket still in his hand.

“Doesn’t matter why they decided to suddenly pick a fight. Look what they did to Wang Meng! They kidnapped my fucking sister! If they think I’m going to let them get away with this, they’ve got another thing coming” he snarled before he looked at his men, all of whom looked back at him with fire in their eyes, all of them ready for a fight.

“Let’s crush the 天狗吃日” he declared.

~*~*~*~*~*~

The next day, Chen Yuzhi and his men traveled from one side of the city to the other, all of his men flanking behind him until they came to a deserted underpass, where Jiang Yuelou and the 天狗吃日 were waiting. They then slowly began to approach the gang, their grey and white a stark contrast to Jiang Yuelou’s gang of all black. As they slowly approached, Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened in surprise.

“The hell? Chen Yuzhi?” he whispered. Zhan Junbai glanced over at him.

“What, you know him?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou hummed before he began to slowly walk towards Chen Yuzhi and his gang, signaling the others to start walking as well.

“Chen Yuzhi! I never thought you were from the 白龙” he called out. Chen Yuzhi huffed.

“I’m surprised too. I thought you were better than this” he called back.

“Alright guys! Get fired up!” a 白龙 member shouted before they rushed at the 天狗吃日 members, Jiang Yuelou huffing in reply.

“Let’s go!” he shouted before he rushed at the opposite gang, the rest of his gang following behind as he suddenly hit the ground and knocked out five guys in one slide, hitting them either in their groan, stomach or sweeping their legs out from underneath them while the two gangs collided with each other, practically throwing each other around like ragdolls or hitting them down with one punch.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile, while both gangs went at each other with vicious intensity, Chen Yuzhi just calmly watched with narrowed eyes until someone had the dumb idea of rushing up to him, only for him to swiftly punch them first in the face before hitting them repeatedly in the torso before finishing them with a swift jab to the stomach with his knee.

~*~*~*~*~*~

As he took out that one fool, in another part of the brawl, Zhan Junbai took out one skinhead with a flying kick to the face before taking out five other 白龙 members with quick punches to their faces or torsos, his punches and kicks swift and deadly.

“You’re different than the others. Want to fight me?” a voice called out after the last man hit the ground, making him turn to see Yu Tangchun standing behind him, a small smirk on his face. He then eyed him up and down before he huffed.

“It’ll be an easy win” he declared. Yu Tangchun laughed before his eyes turned hard.

“Don’t flatter yourself” he sneered. Zhan Junbai smirked before he rushed towards him, first punching him in the face before kneeing him in the stomach, only to have Yu Tangchun block the hit before retaliating with a kick to the torso.

~*~*~*~*~*~

As the intense and violent fighting between the two gangs, neither of whom were showing any mercy to the other, continued, Chu Min, who still had his arm bandaged and in a sling, suddenly ran into the fight, causing Chen Yuzhi to look over at him with wide eyes, just as someone kicked him in the head, causing him to stumble back before he looked over to see Jiang Yuelou glaring at him.

“Don’t look away!” he shouted. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened before he huffed.

“Die once and repent for your sins” he hissed. Jiang Yuelou tsked.

“I didn’t do anything” he spat. They then slowly began to make their way towards each other before they suddenly picked up momentum and met each other head on, meeting each other blow for blow. Their fight was so intense that it pretty much caused all fighting around them to cease, both 白龙 and 天狗吃日 members watching to see which leader would win. As they fought, throwing deadly punches and kicks at each other, Chu Min watched helplessly before he shook his head.

“Ge! Ge stop!” he shouted. However, Chen Yuzhi and Jiang Yuelou were too engrossed in their fighting to hear him, causing him to bite his lip before he took a deep breath.

“WANG MENG WOKE UP!” he shouted. At his shout, Chen Yuzhi stopped and looked over at him with wide eyes, just as Jiang Yuelou kicked him in the chest, sending him flying before he hit the ground with a crash, causing him to cough and clutch at his chest while everyone around them gasped. No one had ever beaten Chen Yuzhi in a fight before. Jiang Yuelou then looked at him before he huffed softly and walked over to him, holding out his hand to him.

“Told you not to look away” he teased. Chen Yuzhi looked up at him before he tsked and reached out, taking his hand. Jiang Yuelou then began to pull him up but before he knew what was happening, Chen Yuzhi yanked him down before he grabbed him and flipped him, pinning him down with a knee to his chest.

“Now we’re even” he declared. Jiang Yuelou looked up at him with wide eyes before he laughed and nodded, Chen Yuzhi smiling slightly before he pushed himself to his feet, helping Jiang Yuelou to his before he looked over at Chu Min.

“Now, what did you say?” he asked. Chu Min looked at him with wide eyes.

“Wang Meng woke up! And he said it wasn’t the 天狗吃日 who attacked us” he stated.

Chen Yuzhi frowned.

“How does he know that for sure?” he demanded. Chu Min hummed.

“He said the man that attacked him has no left eyebrow and buzzed bleach blonde hair” he replied. Chen Yuzhi frowned before he looked over at Jiang Yuelou.

“You don’t have any members that look like that, do you?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou shook his head.

“No” he replied. Chen Yuzhi hummed before he looked back at Chu Min.

“Then if it wasn’t the 天狗吃日 who attacked us…then who did?” he demanded.

“My guess is, the Sun brothers” Zhan Junbai stated, walking over to stand beside Jiang Yuelou. Chen Yuzhi looked at him and frowned.

“The Sun brothers?” he repeated. Zhan Junbai nodded.

“They run a gang by the name of Kidra. They’re the ones who have been pushing the Redrum, so they probably want us out of their way” he explained. Chen Yuzhi nodded slowly before he turned and looked at both gangs.

“It’s over. Let’s go home” he declared. The 白龙 members nodded.

“Yes sir!” they shouted. They then began to make their way back to the train station as Chen Yuzhi sighed heavily.

“So…they’re the ones who beat up Wang Meng…” he murmured. Chu Min nodded.

“And the ones who probably took Keying” he stated, causing Jiang Yuelou’s eyes to widen in horror.

“Keying’s gone?!” he exclaimed. Chen Yuzhi looked over at him and nodded.

“When Chu Min and Wang Meng were heading out to patrol, Keying wanted to go with them. I refused at first, but Wang Meng said it would be okay…” he started before he shook his head.

“I should have never…” he started when Jiang Yuelou shook his head.

“You didn’t know” he soothed before he reached out and patted his arm.

“But don’t worry. You’ll get her back” he promised. Chen Yuzhi nodded.

“I hope so” he murmured before he looked at him.

“I’m glad to know…that it wasn’t you” he stated. Jiang Yuelou smiled.

“Likewise” he agreed. Chen Yuzhi smiled slightly before he took Chu Min by the arm and began guiding him away, the remaining skinheads following after him. After they left, Jiang Yuelou let out a shuddering breath and nearly collapsed has Zhan Junbai not surged forward and caught him.

“Easy, Jiang-xiong, easy” he murmured. Jiang Yuelou sighed heavily.

“Let’s go home” he declared.

~*~*~*~*~*~

A few days later, after everyone had recovered, Jiang Yuelou sat in his study, quietly thinking when Song Rong, who had fully recovered, and Zhan Junbai walked in.

“So…what’s the plan, boss?” Song Rong asked. Jiang Yuelou looked at him before he huffed.

“What else? To put a stop to this Kidra so that Redrum doesn’t spread and cause any more problems…and wipe them out entirely” he declared. Zhan Junbai and Song Rong nodded.

“When do you want to go?” Zhan Junbai asked. Jiang Yuelou looked at them before he pushed himself to his feet.

“Gather the boys. We’re going now” he declared.

~*~*~*~*~*~

A little while later, Jiang Yuelou and the rest of his subordinates arrived at Kidra’s hideout, a place that Zhan Junbai so lovely coined “Murder Towers”.

“So, this is the place?” Jiang Yuelou asked. Zhan Junbai hummed, just as Chen Yuzhi and his subordinates arrived, stopping just a few feet away from them.

“We’ll be the ones to settle this” Chen Yuzhi called out, making Jiang Yuelou look over at him before he laughed and shook his head.

“No way. I can’t let that happen” he argued as Zhan Junbai looked over at them.

“Just come over and join us” he suggested. Chen Yuzhi was quiet as Yu Tangchun looked at him.

“Yuzhi…” he started when Jiang Yuelou looked over at him.

“What’ll it be, Yuzhi?” he called out. Chen Yuzhi looked at him before he huffed and walked over to him, standing beside him.

“Fine” he acquiesced, causing Jiang Yuelou to smile as he looked over at him.

“By the way, Wang Meng has a request” he stated. Jiang Yuelou hummed.

“Name it” he replied.

“Since he can’t be here, he wants someone to take out the man who attacked him. You know, the one with the no left eyebrow and buzzed bleached hair?” Chen Yuzhi asked. Jiang Yuelou nodded before he looked over at Song Rong.

“Song Rong. You up for it?” he asked. Song Rong nodded.

“Leave it to me” he replied. Jiang Yuelou nodded again before he looked at the blockade in front of the rundown apartment building.

“Open the gate!” he barked.

“Yes sir!” his subordinates replied before they, as well as a few of Chen Yuzhi’s subordinates, rushed forward and removed the blockade as Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi began to walk forward, Jiang Yuelou kicking down the gate before they stepped inside, their subordinates following behind. As they walked into the dilapidated housing unit, Kidra members with weapons practically slunk out of apartments and walked out into the open, causing Jiang Yuelou to hum softly.

“Looks like the cockroaches are crawling out of the woodworks” he murmured before he looked over at Chen Yuzhi.

“I’ll go and try and find Keying. Don’t get hurt” he ordered. Chen Yuzhi glanced back at him and smirked before he turned and looked at the gang members before them, letting out a snarl.

“LET’S GO!” he screamed. Behind him, both gangs roared in agreement before they took off and rushed at the Kidra gang members, Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi quickly taking off as well. The two gangs then collided with each other, fists and feet flying, and as they fought, the 白龙 and the 天狗吃日 soon began to realize that there was something wrong with the Kidra members. No matter how much they kicked, punched, smacked, knocked down, or even threw them over the railings…they just kept coming back. Like it was nothing.

“What the hell is wrong with these guys?!” a 白龙 member shouted.

~*~*~*~*~*~

After fighting for a while, it seemed like Kidra was winning until both the 白龙 and the 天狗吃日 started to think smarter and use the tools they had around them, because fists obviously weren’t cutting it. Once they finally started using the tools around them, they were able to push back against Kidra and actually began to kick some ass until at one point, they were able to create a sort of way for Jiang Yuelou to get up into the apartment building.

“Jiang-xiong! Go!” Zhan Junbai shouted. Jiang Yuelou nodded before he quickly jumped up and ran across the human ladder, quickly jumping up onto a platform before pulling himself up over the railing onto a floor of the apartment. Once he was on the floor of the apartment building, he took off running, careful to avoid the Kidra members who were after him. While he was running from Kidra, the 白龙 and the 天狗吃日 looked at each other before they nodded and also began to climb up the ladders that were on the side of the building, soon reaching the apartment floors where Kidra members had taken sanctuary. As soon as they had reached the apartment floor, they began taking out Kidra members left and right, showing them no mercy, as they were the ones who caused trouble for them in the first place. As they continued to fight, Yu Tangchun and a couple of other skinheads easily took down a few Kidra members before Yu Tangchun grabbed a metal pipe and smacked it against the railing, causing all of the members to look at him with wide eyes as he smirked.

“We’re here. The 白龙 murderers” he purred, causing all of the Kidra members to look at him in fear as he dropped the pipe and motioned to them.

“Finish them off!” he barked. The skinheads nodded and quickly rushed at the Kidra members as Yu Tangchun turned and walked away, only to be stopped by Zhan Junbai, who smirked at him.

“My my, you are more than just a pretty face” he observed, causing Yu Tangchun to chuckle.

“I’m not Chen Yuzhi’s right-hand man for nothing” he replied before his eyes turned cold.

“Shall we?” he asked, motioning to the hoard of Kidra members before them. Zhan Junbai smirked.

“Let’s” he replied before they turned and rushed off to go kick some more ass.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile, Jiang Yuelou continued to punch and kick his way through all of the Kidra members coming at him while trying to find Keying.

‘Damn it, where is she?’ he wondered to himself before he turned down a hallway, only to be cornered by three Kidra members, one of the members hitting him in the back of the head, sending him to the ground. The member that hit him then smirked as he looked at the others.

“Hold him” he barked. The other two members nodded and quickly grabbed Jiang Yuelou, yanking him off the ground as the Kidra member reached into his pocket and pulled out a switchblade, flicking it open before he rushed at Jiang Yuelou, only to have Song Rong suddenly appear out of nowhere and grab the member’s wrist in one hand while punching him with the other, sending him flying back into a nearby wall. He then rushed over to the man and grabbed him by the front of the shirt, pinning him to the wall as he turned and looked at Jiang Yuelou.

“Boss, go” he ordered. Jiang Yuelou nodded and quickly knocked the two men holding him unconscious before he rushed off as the man Song Rong was pinning the wall growled.

“Don’t fuck with me!” he shouted before he surged forward and smacked Song Rong in the head with his head, causing Song Rong to stumble back slightly before he smirked and slammed the man into the wall again.

“I was told to give you a message. Remember that白龙 member you beat into a coma?” he asked. The Kidra member’s eyes widened as Song Rong smirked.

“Well, he said to say hello” he purred before he moved his hand from the front of his shirt to his neck before he slammed his head into the wall, knocking him unconscious.

~*~*~*~*~*~

While Song Rong was taking care of the Kidra member that attacked Wang Meng, Jiang Yuelou burst into a nearby room and looked around.

“Keying!” he shouted, just as a few drug makers rushed at him, causing him to growl and punch them in the face before he rushed through the drug den, more drug makers rushing at him.

“Get out of my way, damn it!” he shouted. He then quickly took them out, one by one, before he was left alone in a room with bodies all around him.

“Keying!” he called out again.

“Ge—” a young voice shouted before it was suddenly muffled, causing Jiang Yuelou’s eyes to widen before he rushed into a nearby room to see the two brothers, Sun Heming and Sun Heying, holding Keying in between them, Sun Heying pressing a knife to Keying’s throat.

“Let her go” he growled. Sun Heming laughed.

“Now why would we do that? She’s going to be our new test subject on our latest batch” he declared before he reached out and grabbed a bottle of Redrum, opening it before he shook out a pill, holding it up for Keying and Jiang Yuelou to see before he turned towards Keying.

“Open wide” he ordered. Keying’s eyes widened and she shook her head, trying to get away from him, just as Jiang Yuelou surged forward and kneed him in the stomach, causing him to bowl over before he turned and punched Sun Heying in the face, sending him flying into a nearby wall. Once both men were unconscious, Jiang Yuelou huffed before he looked at Keying.

“You okay, sweetheart?” he asked. Keying sniffled before she nodded and ran over to him, Jiang Yuelou’s arms going around her before he scooped her into his arms.

“I got you. Come on, let’s go back to your brother” he murmured.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Outside, Chen Yuzhi and the others finished taking out the rest of the Kidra gang, causing all of the men to scream in delight that the fight was finally over, just as Jiang Yuelou, with Keying in his arms, came out to the railing, making Chen Yuzhi look up with wide eyes.

“Keying!” he exclaimed. Keying looked back at him with teary eyes.

“Gege!” she called back. Chen Yuzhi then looked at Jiang Yuelou, who smirked and nodded before he turned and began to make his way to the stairs, quickly making his way down before he and Keying made their way over to Chen Yuzhi, Jiang Yuelou placing Keying down so that she could run over to her brother, who quickly scooped her into his arms and spun her around.

“A-Ying” he breathed, hugging her tightly before he looked at Jiang Yuelou who smiled slightly.

“Thank you” he thanked. Jiang Yuelou nodded.

“Mm” he replied. Chen Yuzhi then sighed.

“I apologize. For earlier. I should have known better than to accuse you—” he started when Jiang Yuelou huffed.

“Hey, it’s not like I’m not guilty either. My boys and I were out for blood” he reminded.

Chen Yuzhi laughed weakly.

“Can’t say that I wasn’t either” he murmured. Jiang Yuelou chuckled before he patted him on the arm.

“Let’s call it a day, huh? I’m tired” he declared. Chen Yuzhi nodded.

“Me too” he agreed.

~*~*~*~*~*~

A few days later, while Jiang Yuelou was walking around his side of Jing City, just enjoying the sun, someone appeared by his side, a small smile on their lips.

“You know…” they started, causing Jiang Yuelou to jump and look over with wide eyes to see Chen Yuzhi, who was dressed softer in a crème turtleneck and crème pants instead of his usual three-piece suit, smiling at him.

“…you really should be on your guard more” he teased. Jiang Yuelou huffed.

“Jesus fucking Christ, Yuzhi. Warn a guy” he grumbled. Chen Yuzhi chuckled softly.

“Sorry. Just thought I would surprise you” he stated. Jiang Yuelou tsked.

“Yeah…ya sure did. Nearly gave me a heart attack” he muttered. Chen Yuzhi laughed softly again.

“Sorry” he apologized. Jiang Yuelou then tilted his head.

“No Keying?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi shook his head.

“No, she wants to keep Wang Meng company as he recovers” he replied. Jiang Yuelou nodded.

“Mm. How’s he doing?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi nodded.

“He’s doing better. Might be a while for him to come back but…he’s doing okay” he replied. Jiang Yuelou hummed before he tilted his head.

“So…why’d you make the trip over?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened before he blushed.

“What, can’t I just drop by to say hi?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou laughed.

“No…I’m happy you’re here” he assured before he crossed his arms.

“So, since you came all the way here…what would you like to do?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi shrugged.

“I don’t know; I only came here once and it was to potentially kill you” he reminded. Jiang Yuelou laughed again before he smiled.

“Hmm…I know a place. Follow me” he instructed. He then began walking, Chen Yuzhi quickly following him until they reached a very tall, mountainous area, where they could look down and see the entirety of Jing City.

“Oh…wow” Chen Yuzhi breathed, causing Jiang Yuelou to smile as he looked at him.

“Remember how you asked me if I had ever stood at the top?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi blinked before he nodded.

“Mm” he replied. Jiang Yuelou motioned to the city beneath them.

“Well, now you can say that you’ve stood at the top” he declared. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened before he laughed, a delightfully beautiful sound to Jiang Yuelou’s ears, and looked at him, smiling.

“And now you can say that you’ve stood at the top as well” he stated. Jiang Yuelou chuckled and nodded.

“Yeah…I guess so” he agreed. They both then turned their attention back to the city below, their shoulders touching as the sun softly caressed their faces and the wind blew through their hair.

🔪 📖 💀 ✨ yayyyy, am here again for the ask game because although I have asked you already I still have the desire to learn all of your thoughts about the rest of it! ♡♡♡

Shhhh, I always love answering asks and talking about Killer and Healer, feel free to send me as many asks as you want

🔪 What moment feels like they just took a knife to your heart?

Um, there are too many...but I think the one that fucking got me on the first watch was when Jiang Yuelou shot Chen Yuzhi and then had a literal fucking breakdown about it. I was already sobbing because like "JIANG YUELOU, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!" but then when you realize that it was all a dream and that they fucking planned it, I'm like..."I hate y'all. Fuck y'all, made me lose my god damn mind". But also seeing how absolutely fucking distraught Jiang Yuelou was when he thought that he had actually killed Chen Yuzhi...fuck me up man. My god. Mao Zijun deserves all the awards for that

📖 Give me a fic recommendation

Well, I'm always down to rec all of my fics, which you can find over on ao3 under: 恨君不似江楼月 | Killer and Healer (I know it has the same title as the rewrite, but I promise you, it's the link to the series)

And as for a fic that's not mine....Waiting (Let Me Pet You) by @bestbuds55. I thoroughly enjoy this fic and go back to read it every now and then because it's just so good.

Or, some other good ones are Reunion and Photograph by @tytangfei. These ones are also really good

But I mainly read/re-read my own fics, so I don't have a lot of Killer and Healer fics bookmarked

💀 Do you have any secret ships? (Including friendships)

As we all know, I ship the usual ships, Jiang Yuelou/Chen Yuzhi, Zhan Junbai/Yu Tangchun as well as Sun Yongren/Song Rong, and Zhong Yiren/Chu Ran. As for Liu Li and Chu Min, I see them more as like Zhan Junbai and Yu Tangchun's kids, so to me, they're siblings, not romantic.

I still think Jiang Yuelou and Wang Meng would make...maybe not good friends, but they could be good allies. They'd get along (maybe) for Chen Yuzhi's sake. And of course, the Chaotic Police Siblings (Jiang Yuelou & Jin Dacheng). I really enjoy their friendship

✨ AU you’d like to see the characters in

*motions to literally any au I've written* I think I've got you covered, babe. But no, seriously, I think I'd like to see the Killer and Healer characters in a wuxia (I've said this many times before, give me Mao Zijun and Ian Yi in a wuxia together, please) or in a mafia au (like Kinnporsche, minus all the sex. I'm down for the blood and violence tho. I'm cool with that)

Abunai aibou! 💕

My darling, I'm so sorry for the wait! You sent me this during work, so I couldn't answer it until now.

Anyways, KeixYaku: Abunai Aibou is a Killer and Healer mafia x detective. It's inspired both by the manga and live action version of the same name. Basically, Jiang Yuelou is instructed to spy on/tail Chen Yuzhi, the youngest triad leader in Jing City (who is also a doctor). All the while, Jiang Yuelou is trying to figure out what happened to his mentor, Zhan Junbai, who "died" three years ago. While tailing Chen Yuzhi, Jiang Yuelou goes undercover as a fighter in a fight club that Chen Yuzhi runs/owns. But first, Jiang Yuelou saves Chen Yuzhi's life from being attacked by some rogue in the bathroom of the fight club. Chen Yuzhi takes an interest in him and during Jiang Yuelou's fight, actually makes Jiang Yuelou lose (for reasons). Earlier Chen Yuzhi had threatened Jiang Yuelou, saying that if he lost, he would make him spill everything but didn't do so when Jiang Yuelou actually lost (which Jiang Yuelou thought was weird but didn't question it). Later, when Jiang Yuelou goes to pay his respects to Zhan Junbai's grave, he finds Chen Yuzhi there, where lo and behold, he learns that Zhan Junbai is Chen Yuzhi's "brother" (they're not actually brothers but they grew up in the same orphanage so they consider themselves brothers). They both realize that they're trying to figure out exactly what the fuck happened to Zhan Junbai so they decide to team up and work together to figure out what happened to him...and what happened 20 years ago during the bombing that took the life of Jiang Yuelou's parents.

If you haven't watched the live action, I suggest you do, it's lovely, I love the actors, but I hope you also check out my version! (I need to get back to updating it, I've let it sit for too long)

3,6,27

Now anon, I have like 3 fic writer asks that have these numbers, so I'm just gonna go with the most recent question list okay? (If it's not, just let me know and I will come back and change the answers)

3. What are some tropes or details that you think are very characteristic of your fics?

Hurt/comfort, Emotional hurt/comfort, angst with hurt/comfort, happy endings, kidnapping, mafias...the list could go on

6. What’s one fact about the universe of [insert fic] that you didn’t get a chance to mention in the fic itself?

Hmm...you didn't mention a specific fic...but I'll go with my latest oneshot As Long As We Both Shall Live and one fact is that people are either born with supernatural powers or they're not. It's kinda inspired by the Live Action "My Happy Marriage" so Zhan Junbai has powers while Yu Tangchun does not

27. How long did it take to write [insert fic]? Describe the process.

Again, no fic is listed, so I'll go with my fic Monster Like Me. The original draft of this fic...in total, with thinking about the fic, outlining it, trying to write it, deleting it, and then rewriting it from scratch...I think the whole process took about a month? Because I thought about the fic during my christmas vacation at home with my parents back in december, I started outlining it when I returned home in January, that whole process took about maybe a week or so? And then I started writing it and that took me about 2 days before it started fighting with me. I then took a break, worked on something else, came back to it, tried to work on it, it kept fighting me, I then accidentally deleted the draft and outline (because I had deleted my fic folder accidentally off my laptop (thank god for external hard drives am I right?)), and then I rewrote the fic from scratch, using an old outline that bascially was just the outline, no dialogue, no nothing like the old outline. That draft took me a few days, so in total the whole fic took me about a month to write, from December to January. Pain in my ass but I really love the fic so I'm glad it is what it is today than what it was when I first outlined it/wrote it

Hi! I'm back with the mafia! Zhan Junbai is the youngest finance minister and he has many enemies. Especially his uncle Zhan Tianqing, whom he forbade to appear in Jingcheng. General Zhan decides to teach his rebellious nephew a lesson and hires a hitman to take his heart--his younger brother Dr. Chen Yuzhi. Jian Yuelou, one of the best assassins, gets an order for a young doctor. He is very surprised by this. Earlier, Yuzhi helped him with his injury and Yuelou wants to know why he was ordered and why General Zhan was forbidden to come to Jingcheng. He begins to find out from his informants, but no one knows exactly why. Wang Meng finds him and offers a deal: he will give Yuelou answers to questions, but the killer must tell why he wants to know about it. Jian Yuelou admits that he was ordered by Chen Yuzhi. Wang Meng is furious. He says that Zhan Tianqing sold Yuzhi to a bandit and if it hadn't been for Yu Tangchun, who heard Yuzhi's screams, a terrible thing would have happened. The singer finds Zhan Junbai and asks for help. Junbai bursts into the room and sees his brother in torn clothes and a scoundrel who bites Yuzhi, then he becomes enraged. Junbai asks Yu Tanchun to take his brother away and beats up the rapist. He learns from him that Yuzhi was sold by his uncle. Zhan Junbai is furious. It was the first time Zhan Tianqing had seen him in such a rage. Junbai beats up his uncle and tells him to get out of town. Now Jian Yuelou decides to protect Yuzhi at all costs. Zhan Tianqing orders to kidnap his younger nephew, and now Zhan Junbai and Jian Yuelou have only one day to find him, because the general can easily kill the doctor.

I'm sorry there are so many words.

Don't apologize! I'm always down to write mafia headcanons. One of my favorite things to write, honestly

On the outside, Zhan Junbai was the perfect gentleman, but little did they know that the young minister of finance was actually San Ye, lord of the criminal underworld

Zhan Junbai had a lot of enemies as San Ye but he also had enemies as Zhan Junbai, mainly one: his uncle Zhan Tianqing

It was an unspoken rule in Zhan Junbai’s mansion that Zhan Tianqing was never to be mentioned, unless you wanted 1) a death glare from Zhan Junbai and 2) to be thrown out not even a second later

Zhan Tianqing, of course, wasn’t entirely too happy when he received a telegram from Zhan Junbai ordering him to stay the fuck out of Jing City or else, so to teach him a lesson, he looked over at one of his subordinates

“Get me Jiang Yuelou”

The subordinate nodded before they turned and headed out of the room. About an hour later, Jiang Yuelou, one of Jing City’s greatest assassins, stepped into his office and bowed

“You called for me?”

Zhan Tianqing hummed

“I did. I need you to do a hit for me”

Jiang Yuelou raised an eyebrow

“Who’s the hit on?”

“Dr. Chen Yuzhi”

Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened surprise before he schooled his expression and hummed

“I’ll get it done”

Zhan Tianqing nodded

“Good”

Jiang Yuelou bowed before he turned and headed out of the room, shaking his head. Why the hell would Zhan Tianqing want Chen Yuzhi dead? The young doctor hadn’t even done anything to piss him off…that he knew off

As he exited the mansion and thought over the request, Jiang Yuelou found…that he didn’t want to do it. Normally he wouldn’t mind taking requests like this but Chen Yuzhi…Chen Yuzhi was nice

He had once treated Jiang Yuelou’s injuries, when he definitely didn’t have to and should have definitely turned him over to the police but he didn’t

Chen Yuzhi wasn’t a bad person…so why was Zhan Tianqing ordering a hit on him?

‘This is going to bother me until I figure this out’

So, before he decided to head to Jing City, he sent out a telegram to all of his informants, instructing them to ask around about the relationship between Chen Yuzhi and Zhan Tianqing or if there even was a relationship at all

He then took the train back to Jing City as Zhan Tianqing did not live in Jing City before he went to the telegram office to see what his informants said

Unfortunately, none of them came back with anything, causing Jiang Yuelou to huff

“What do I pay them for? Useless”

He then stepped out of the telegram office, only to be stopped by a man, causing him to frown

“Can I…help you?”

“You’re Jiang Yuelou, yes?”

Jiang Yuelou nodded

“Yes”

The man nodded

“Follow me”

Jiang Yuelou frowned but followed after the man as they headed into a café, making their way to a private table in the back before the man sat down and motioned for Jiang Yuelou to do the same

Jiang Yuelou then sat down as the man looked at him

“I’ll answer your questions but first you have to tell me…why do you want to know about Chen Yuzhi and Zhan Tianqing’s relationship?”

Jiang Yuelou frowned

“I ain’t telling you shit until you tell me who you are”

The man huffed

“The name’s Wang Meng. I’m one of Zhan Junbai’s many bodyguards. Also a friend of Chen Yuzhi’s”

Jiang Yuelou nodded slowly before he sighed

“I was hired by Zhan Tianqing to do a hit on Chen Yuzhi…but I’ve met the doctor and he’s a kind man…I don’t understand why Zhan Tianqing want to kill him”

Wang Meng huffed

“He’s doing it to get back at Zhan Junbai for keeping him out of Jing City”

Jiang Yuelou raised an eyebrow

“Why?”

Wang Meng frowned

“You don’t know?”

Jiang Yuelou huffed

“Look, I just do my job, I don’t ask for backstory for a lot of them so no…I don’t know”

Wang Meng nodded slowly before he sighed

“The reason Zhan Junbai hates Zhan Tianqing as much as he does is that Zhan Tianqing once sold Chen Yuzhi to an old war buddy of his because his buddy wanted a little bit of fun”

Jiang Yuelou frowned

“What’s the relationship between Chen Yuzhi and Zhan Junbai?”

Wang Meng hummed

“They’re brothers…sort of. They’re not brothers by blood but they grew up together so they consider each other brothers”

Jiang Yuelou nodded slowly before he motioned to him

“Continue”

Wang Meng nodded

“Zhan Junbai didn’t know that Zhan Tianqing had sold Chen Yuzhi and if it hadn’t been for Yu Tangchun, Zhan Junbai’s husband, who had accidentally stumbled upon Chen Yuzhi tied to a bed when he was searching the war buddy’s house for the bathroom, who knows what would have happened to him”

Jiang Yuelou frowned

“What was Yu Tangchun doing in that house?”

“He’s an opera singer. He goes to people’s houses and performs for them if they request him”

Jiang Yuelou nodded slowly

“So Yu Tangchun found Chen Yuzhi…”

“And then told Zhan Junbai about it. Zhan Junbai came running. And when he saw what he looked like, he was livid. He had Yu Tangchun take Chen Yuzhi away before he beat the absolute shit out of Tianqing’s war buddy”

Jiang Yuelou raised an eyebrow

“He kill him?”

Wang Meng smirked

“Almost”

Jiang Yuelou hummed

“He still alive?”

Wang Meng shook his head

“He succumbed to his injuries”

Jiang Yuelou hummed again

“So…how did Zhan Junbai find out that Zhan Tianqing had sold Chen Yuzhi?”

“Zhan Junbai asked Chen Yuzhi what happened and how did he get into that situation. Chen Yuzhi explained everything to him and then Zhan Junbai went to go beat the shit out of his uncle. Told him to leave Jing City and to never come back”

Jiang Yuelou nodded slowly

“I see…”

Wang Meng then raised an eyebrow

“You gonna go through with your hit? Because if so, I’ll kill you right here and now”

Jiang Yuelou shook his head

“I was never going to do it in the first place”

Wang Meng smirked

“Good man”

Jiang Yuelou laughed

“I’m an assassin. I’m far from that”

He then stood to his feet

“I’m going to find Zhan Junbai and let him know what his uncle is planning. Thanks for telling me the backstory”

Wang Meng nodded and watched as Jiang Yuelou walked out of the café and made his way to the finance building, since he knew enough about Zhan Junbai to know that he was the minister of finance

He then walked into the building and to Zhan Junbai’s office, knocking on the door

“Come in”

Jiang Yuelou then stepped inside, causing Zhan Junbai to look up at him in surprise

“Can I help you?”

Jiang Yuelou dipped his head

“Executive Zhan. You’ve never met me, but you’ve used my services before. I’m Jiang Yuelou”

Zhan Junbai’s eyes widened and he quickly stood to his feet

“Close the door”

Jiang Yuelou nodded and shut the door of the office as Zhan Junbai walked over to him

“What the hell are you doing here?”

Jiang Yuelou huffed

“I came to warn you”

Zhan Junbai frowned

“Warn me about what?”

“Chen Yuzhi. He’s in danger”

Zhan Junbai’s eyes widened

“What?!”

Jiang Yuelou nodded

“Your uncle hired me to take out Chen Yuzhi. I’m not going to do it, of course, but I thought you should know”

Zhan Junbai stared at him before he growled

“That bastard”

Jiang Yuelou hummed

“Indeed”

He then looked him in the eyes

“I don’t plan on letting anything happen to him. You can trust me on that”

Zhan Junbai nodded

“Alright”

Jiang Yuelou nodded in reply before he turned and headed towards the door, causing Zhan Junbai to frown

“Where are you going?”

Jiang Yuelou looked over his shoulder at him and smirked

“To protect the doctor, what else?”

He then headed out the door and out of the finance building, heading to where Chen Yuzhi’s clinic was located

When he reached the clinic, he stepped inside, causing Chen Yuzhi, who was working on packaging medicine for his patients, to look up and smile

“Oh, hello!”

Jiang Yuelou smiled and dipped his head as Chen Yuzhi walked over to him

“It’s you”

Jiang Yuelou blinked

“You remember me?”

Chen Yuzhi laughed

“Of course. You wouldn’t stop flirting with me as I tried to patch you up. How could I forget that?”

Jiang Yuelou chuckled before he looked around the clinic

“You seem to be doing well”

Chen Yuzhi hummed and leaned against his desk, crossing his arms

“I’m doing alright”

He then tilted his head

“And you? I hope you haven’t been getting injured”

Jiang Yuelou laughed

“Of course not”

He then leaned forward so that he was in Chen Yuzhi’s face and smirked slightly

“But if I was, would you treat me? Dr. Chen?”

Chen Yuzhi blushed and gently swatted his arm

“Of course I would”

Jiang Yuelou grinned, just as three men in black stepped into the clinic, causing Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi to look over at them before Jiang Yuelou narrowed his eyes

“Chen Yuzhi…go upstairs”

Chen Yuzhi looked at him in confusion, but Jiang Yuelou just gave him a look, causing him to nod slowly before he slipped away and made for the stairs

However, one of the men ran over to him and grabbed him, causing Jiang Yuelou to growl and run over to him, grabbing him by the neck before snapping it cleanly

He then looked at Chen Yuzhi, who was staring at him with wide eyes, and motioned upstairs

“Go!”

Chen Yuzhi nodded again and raced upstairs as Jiang Yuelou spun around to look at the number of men in the clinic, which now seemed to have doubled

“Fuck…me”

He and the men then stared at each other, waiting for the other to move, before one of the men rushed forward, allowing Jiang Yuelou to step in and kick some ass

However, as he was kicking ass, more men kept pouring into the clinic until he was severely outnumbered

“Find Chen Yuzhi!”

Jiang Yuelou growled and continued to do his best to keep the men from heading upstairs, but one goon got lucky and whacked on the back of his neck, sending him to the ground, unconscious

When he came to later, he looked up to see Zhan Junbai glaring at him

“Where’s my brother?”

Jiang Yuelou huffed

“Look buddy, as you can see from the bodies, I did my fucking best, but it was like a fucking swarm…they just kept coming”

Zhan Junbai hummed

“Yes, I saw the bodies…who sent them?”

Jiang Yuelou sighed and pushed himself to his feet, clutching at his head before he looked at him

“Who else? Probably fucking Zhan Tianqing”

Zhan Junbai growled

“Then we need to get him back because if you didn’t kill him, then my uncle definitely will”

Jiang Yuelou nodded

“I’ll send my boys out to search Jing City…you probably shouldn’t do that because of your position as minister of finance”

Zhan Junbai scoffed

“I’m fucking San Ye…I’ll send my boys out too”

Jiang Yuelou nodded

“Let’s go then”

Zhan Junbai nodded before they headed out of the clinic, leaving the mass of bodies that Jiang Yuelou was able to take out single-handedly behind

Zhan Junbai and Jiang Yuelou then send their men out to search the entire Jing City and when they couldn’t find him in Jing City, Zhan Junbai frowned

“Where could he be?”

Jiang Yuelou was quiet before his eyes widened

“Guangzhou”

Zhan Junbai frowned

“Guangzhou?”

Jiang Yuelou nodded

“That’s where your uncle is currently living…he probably took him back there”

Zhan Junbai hummed

“Let’s get on the train then…”

As Zhan Junbai and Jiang Yuelou rode the train to Guangzhou, Zhan Junbai looked at Jiang Yuelou and huffed

“Never thought I would be riding in a train car with an assassin to save my brother”

Jiang Yuelou chuckled

“Never thought I would be working with San Ye to save his brother”

Zhan Junbai hummed

“My family could use someone like you…”

Jiang Yuelou crossed his arms

“Tempting, San Ye, but I’m good”

Zhan Junbai nodded

“Just thought I would offer”

They soon arrived in Guangzhou and Jiang Yuelou led Zhan Junbai to Zhan Tianqing’s mansion (since Jiang Yuelou had visited it before whenever he was called about the hit order)

When they arrived, they quickly took out the guards before Zhan Junbai huffed

“Where would they be…”

Jiang Yuelou hummed

“This place is pretty fucking big…I’m sure there’s gotta be a basement somewhere”

Zhan Junbai nodded

“Split up and search”

Jiang Yuelou nodded before he held out a gun to him

“Just in case”

Zhan Junbai smirked and took the gun before he and Jiang Yuelou split up, both men searching the mansion until Zhan Junbai came upon Zhan Tianqing and Chen Yuzhi in the basement, Chen Yuzhi bound to a wooden cross, lashings all over his chest

“Chen Yuzhi!”

Chen Yuzhi looked up and Zhan Tianqing turned before he smirked

“So…you came”

Zhan Junbai growled

“You fucking bastard…I should have killed you the first time you hurt him”

Zhan Tianqing hummed as he turned to face him

“And yet…you didn’t”

Zhan Junbai huffed and raised the gun Jiang Yuelou gave him, pointing it between Zhan Tianqing’s eyes

“Don’t think I won’t do it this time”

Zhan Tianqing chuckled as he slowly walked forward and rested his forehead against the muzzle, looking Zhan Junbai in the eyes

“Do it then. Pull the trigger”

Zhan Junbai’s eyes widened just as Zhan Tianqing laughed and quickly snatched the gun away from him before turning and pointing the gun in his face

“Still just as pathetic and weak as before…I thought you grew up…seems like you didn’t”

Zhan Junbai’s eyes widened even further as Zhan Tianqing slowly stepped forward and pressed the gun to his head

“I’ll show you how to properly kill someone”

He then slowly began to pull the trigger, just as a gunshot rang out, causing Chen Yuzhi and Zhan Junbai to flinch before Zhan Junbai let out a huff and looked down to see Zhan Tianqing dead on the floor before him

“What the—”

“If anyone’s going to show someone how to properly kill, it’s going to be me”

Zhan Junbai then looked up to see Jiang Yuelou smirking at him

“You—”

“You’re welcome”

He then turned and ran over to Chen Yuzhi, quickly untying him from the wooden cross before catching him in his arms as he slumped forward

“I got you. I got you”

Zhan Junbai then ran over to them, looking Chen Yuzhi over in concern

“Chen Yuzhi. Are you alright?”

Chen Yuzhi glanced up at him and nodded

“I’m fine…I’m fine”

Jiang Yuelou then tilted his head

“Do you think you can last a train ride?”

Chen Yuzhi nodded again

“I think so”

Jiang Yuelou hummed before he looked at Zhan Junbai and carefully handed Chen Yuzhi off to him, Zhan Junbai wrapping his arms protectively around his little brother

“Come on, Yuzhi…let’s go home”

On the train home, Zhan Junbai, Chen Yuzhi, and Jiang Yuelou all sat in silence until at one point, Jiang Yuelou fell asleep, his head resting on the side of the train car, and Chen Yuzhi fell asleep not too longer afterwards, his head resting on Jiang Yuelou

Zhan Junbai looked at the two of them before he smiled slightly; they made a good pair

When they returned to Jing City, Zhan Junbai, Jiang Yuelou, and Chen Yuzhi got off the train before the three of them headed to Zhan Junbai’s mansion, Zhan Junbai’s servants taking Chen Yuzhi to a spare bedroom

While he’s being taken care of, Zhan Junbai motioned for Jiang Yuelou to follow him to his office where he then leaned against his desk

“So, Jiang-xiong”

Jiang Yuelou raised an eyebrow as Zhan Junbai smirked

“Can I trust you to look after and protect my brother?”

Jiang Yuelou looked at him in surprise before he nodded solemnly

“You can trust me”

Zhan Junbai chuckled

“You killed my fucking uncle to save me. Yeah, I think I can trust you”

Jiang Yuelou smiled as Zhan Junbai then dipped his head

“Thank you”

Jiang Yuelou shook his head

“Just doing my job”

Zhan Junbai crossed his arms

“I didn’t know protecting people was an assassin’s job”

Jiang Yuelou barked out a laugh

“It’s not, but I suppose I can make an exception…Zhan-xiong”

Zhan Junbai smiled before he motioned towards the door

“Go on”

Jiang Yuelou smiled and dipped his head before he turned and headed out of the room, heading towards the room where Chen Yuzhi was resting, quietly opening the door before stepping inside

He then walked over to the bed and sat down on the edge of it, gently taking Chen Yuzhi’s hand as Chen Yuzhi opened his eyes and smiled weakly at him

“Looks like you’re the one going to be taking care of me for a while”

Jiang Yuelou smiled

“Lucky me”

Chen Yuzhi then sighed

“Thank you for saving me”

Jiang Yuelou chuckled

“Thank your brother. I just did the heavy lifting”

Chen Yuzhi nodded

“I will…but thank you. Really”

Jiang Yuelou smiled and gave his hand a squeeze

“You’re welcome”

mafia au titled 'blood in, blood out' where jiang yuelou was sold to the Zhan syndicate as a drug runner when he was a kid to pay off his father's debts but he worked his way up the ranks, and meets a doctor who tries to save him and his men despite his background as a criminal... after hearing the story about his sister, he vows to help, dark!Jiang Yuelou is what it's about. bonus points if zhan junbai and him have a sort of brotherly relationship... if u have the time! Just a lil idea...

I had so much fun with this prompt that I wrote 9.9K words for it, which I haven't done since The Witch and The Prince which was 10.7K. I hope y'all enjoy reading this fic, because I most certainly enjoyed writing it.

Jiang Yuelou was not a very nice man, but given his childhood and his background, could you really blame him? From the time he was a kid, no older than eight or nine, he was sold to one of the largest crime family in Jing City, the Zhans, to pay off his father’s debt, as his father had gotten into a bit of trouble due to constant opium usage. Thankfully, the Zhans took him in and started him off as a drug runner (as they had their fingers in many different illegal pots). After a while, Jiang Yuelou had gotten pretty good at that and slowly rose up the ranks, starting off as a soldier then moved up to being a caporegime and then finally to underboss, working side by side by Zhan Junbai, the Zhan’s leader after his uncle, Zhan Tianqing, had died. In the Zhan family, Jiang Yuelou was probably the youngest member to move ranks as quickly as he did, but Jiang Yuelou was quick and efficient and if he was given a task, he got it done. And Zhan Junbai liked efficiency, which is why he chose Jiang Yuelou out of all the members to be his right-hand man (Jiang Yuelou was also the only man that he trusted but he wasn’t going to say that out loud as to not start a fight within the family). But none of the members seemed to mind too much as they all liked Jiang Yuelou and they all liked his work, especially when getting information out of people; violence was Jiang Yuelou’s specialty and he wasn’t afraid to get his hands dirty to get, more like take, what he wanted.

~*~*~*~*~*~

It was a quiet early morning, around midnight, as Jiang Yuelou and his men as well as another triad stood in a warehouse, a box of opium between one of Jiang Yuelou’s men and the other triad’s leader. The triad leader then reached out and took a block of opium, tearing it open and giving it a sniff while Jiang Yuelou’s man examined the gold bars that he had brought as payment. Once he had determined that the gold was good, the man looked over at Jiang Yuelou, who nodded slightly, before he looked at the triad leader, who just smirked before shutting the suitcase, causing Jiang Yuelou’s eyes to narrow before he picked up a nearby axe and threw it, hitting one of the triad members in the shoulder, killing him. All of Jiang Yuelou’s men then pulled out axes, ready for a fight, while outside, a tall man with light skin, brown eyes, and dark brown hair rode his bike over to the warehouse, trying to escape the rain that came out of nowhere. Back inside the warehouse, Jiang Yuelou and his men were fighting against the other triad, men from both sides either losing their lives or getting injured. Outside, the young man frowned when he heard shouting coming from inside the warehouse, so he turned towards the wooden door, only to have one of the doors burst open and crash to the ground, a man landing on top of it. The young man let out a soft gasp, just as Jiang Yuelou stepped out of the warehouse, looking down at the man, who definitely was dead, before he turned to look at the young man, who looked back at him with wide eyes. “What…what happened here?” he asked softly. Jiang Yuelou smiled slightly. “Just a little deal gone wrong” he replied. The young man looked at him before his eyes moved to Jiang Yuelou’s arm, noticing that it was bleeding. His eyes widened and he reached out, causing Jiang Yuelou to react and quickly grab him by the wrist, making him cry out in pain. “Wait, wait, please! I’m a doctor! I’m a doctor, I can look at your arm” he promised. Jiang Yuelou looked at him in confusion. “Why would you do that?” he asked, still not letting go of the young man’s wrist. The young man looked at him before he smiled slightly, making Jiang Yuelou’s cold and cruel heart flutter. “Because I’m a doctor” he replied. Jiang Yuelou hummed before he let go of the young man’s wrist. “I guess I can let you take a look” he murmured. The young man nodded and quickly turned, grabbing his doctor’s bag out of his bike’s basket before he motioned to the warehouse. “Please” he instructed. Jiang Yuelou raised an eyebrow before he huffed and headed back inside, the young man following behind him. The minute Jiang Yuelou’s men saw the young man, a few of them raised their axes to attack, causing the young man to freeze in fear but Jiang Yuelou just raised a hand. “At ease. He’s here to help” he declared. The men looked at the young man, who nodded earnestly, before they lowered their axes, allowing the young man to walk over to Jiang Yuelou and place his bag on the table. He then looked at Jiang Yuelou and motioned to his jacket. “Can you remove this? I can’t get to your wound” he explained. Jiang Yuelou smirked before he took off his jacket, revealing a blood-soaked white dress shirt sleeve. The young man gasped before he reached out, about to touch when he stopped and looked up at Jiang Yuelou. “Can I?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou smirked again before he nodded, allowing the young man to reach out and touch the wound, frowning when he pulled his hand away and his fingers came back covered in blood. “Something the matter, doc?” Jiang Yuelou asked, raising an eyebrow. Chen Yuzhi looked up at him before he sighed. “Your arm’s bleeding pretty heavily, it’s going to make tending to it pretty difficult…” he murmured before he turned to his bag and opened it, pulling out a bottle of iodine and a couple of cotton swabs as well as a pair of gloves. He then slipped on the gloves before he grabbed the bottle of iodine and opened it, soaking one of the cotton balls with it before he began to clean the wound, making Jiang Yuelou grunt in pain. The minute his men heard that he was in pain, they immediately raised their axes, about to attack again when the young man raised his head and glared at them. “You attack me, your leader might lose his arm. If this wound isn’t treated, it’ll get infected and cause him to get sick and maybe even die. If that happens, there will be nothing doctors can do to save him. Do you want that?” he snapped. Jiang Yuelou’s men looked at him in shock, as did Jiang Yuelou, before Jiang Yuelou barked out a laugh. “You’re a feisty little thing, aren’t you?” he teased. The young man looked at him before he huffed. “I’m just trying to save your life” he replied as he continued to clean the wound, Jiang Yuelou hissing in pain every now and then. Once the wound was clean as it was going to get, the young man looked at Jiang Yuelou’s shirt sleeve before he sighed. “I’m sorry about this” he murmured as he unbuttoned the buttons from around the cuff of the sleeve before he grabbed the ripped part of the sleeve and yanked, tearing it away. “Hey!” Jiang Yuelou exclaimed but the young man ignored him and continued working, cleaning the wound again with more iodine, making Jiang Yuelou grit his teeth as the young man continued to clean until he thought the wound was clean enough. Once he was satisfied, he reached into his bag and grabbed out a small suture kit, opening it to pull out a hooked needle and some thread. “You really think it needs stitches?” Jiang Yuelou asked. The young man looked at him before he sighed. “I think it’ll heal more nicely if I stitch it shut…if it’s alright with you, of course. It’s your arm” he explained. Jiang Yuelou looked at him before he chuffed and shrugged. “You’re the doctor. I’ll do what you think is best” he declared. The young man smiled before he quickly grabbed a role of gauze and held it out to Jiang Yuelou. “I don’t have any anesthesia, so this is going to hurt. You might want to bite down on something” he explained. Jiang Yuelou hummed before he leaned forward and took the gauze in his mouth, making the young man blink before he cleared his throat and went to work, carefully but skillfully sewing the wound close. He then tied off the thread and snipped off the excess before he looked at Jiang Yuelou. “There. Now, let me just cover it and you should be good” he murmured as he grabbed a non-adhesive wound dressing and placed it over the stitches, making sure that they were completely covered before he wrapped gauze over it and finished with velband and crepe. After he had finished bandaging Jiang Yuelou’s arm, he looked at Jiang Yuelou and smiled. “All done” he declared. Jiang Yuelou looked down at his arm before he huffed and took the roll of gauze out of his mouth, shoving it in his pants pocket, since he was sure the doctor wouldn’t want that back. “Not bad” he murmured as he slipped his jacket back on while the young man walked over to the man who had checked the gold bars for Jiang Yuelou and grabbed another bottle, opening it before shaking some of the powder into the bullet wound that the man had in his chest. He then grabbed some gauze and pressed it against the wound before taking the man’s hand, making sure he held the gauze there. “Cover it with your hand” he instructed before he turned and noticed another man lying on the ground. His eyes widened and he quickly reached into his kit, pulling out a small, rolled leather case before he walked over to the man and knelt down, opening the case to reveal acupuncture needles. However, before he could even use them, Jiang Yuelou noticed them, making his eyes widen. “Hey, stop” he ordered as he pulled out a gun and pointed it at the back of the young man’s head. The young man froze, just as the sound of footsteps running towards the warehouse could be heard. Jiang Yuelou looked up with wide eyes before he put his gun away and reached down, grabbing the young doctor by the arm. “Get up. Get up” he ordered. The young man’s eyes widened, and he quickly stood to his feet, making sure to grab his acupuncture case on the way up. Jiang Yuelou then gave him a shove towards his bag, making him look back at him with wide eyes. “Wha—” he started. “Go. Go, get out of here. Before you get caught” Jiang Yuelou ordered. The young man blinked before he nodded and quickly packed up his bag and quickly headed towards the back of warehouse, quietly slipping away. Jiang Yuelou watched him walk away as another one of his men looked at him. “Why’d you let him get away, boss?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou was quiet before he shook his head. “Don’t know. But let’s go” he ordered, motioning for his men to follow him out the way the doctor had left.

~*~*~*~*~*~

After Jiang Yuelou left the warehouse, he headed back to the Zhan family mansion, going upstairs to brief Zhan Junbai what happened. He then headed over to Zhan Junbai’s office, knocking on the door before he turned the knob and opened the door, stepping inside. “Zhan-xiong” he called out, making Zhan Junbai, who was sitting in his chair and reading a book, look up at him and smile. “Jiang-xiong” he replied. Jiang Yuelou sighed. “Yeah, I wouldn’t be smiling. Trade went bad” he grumbled. Zhan Junbai hummed. “I’m not really surprised. Deal with that triad is like pulling teeth” he murmured before he noticed Jiang Yuelou’s bloody jacket sleeve. “Jiang-xiong! You’re hurt!” he exclaimed, quickly putting down his book before standing to his feet and walking over to Jiang Yuelou, standing before him. Jiang Yuelou looked down at his arm before he huffed. “Yeah, one of the assholes sliced my arm” he grumbled. Zhan Junbai huffed. “You’re lucky you didn’t lose your arm” he replied before he motioned to said arm. “Can I see?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou shrugged before he shrugged off his jacket, revealing his bandaged arm and torn-off sleeve. Zhan Junbai raised an eyebrow. “Did you do this yourself?” he asked as he reached out and took Jiang Yuelou’s arm in his hands, careful to not hurt him too much. Jiang Yuelou hissed softly before he shook his head. “No, some doctor showed up and offered to take a look at it” he replied. Zhan Junbai raised an eyebrow. “A doctor?” he repeated, looking at Jiang Yuelou in surprise. Jiang Yuelou nodded. “Yeah” he answered. Zhan Junbai frowned. “What was a doctor doing at a place like that?” he demanded. Jiang Yuelou shook his head. “Don’t know. He had a bike with him so he must have just finished a house call” he mused. Zhan Junbai hummed as he studied the bandaging. “Well, until this heals, I’m not letting you go out in the field” he declared. Jiang Yuelou looked at him with wide eyes. “Zhan-xiong!” he exclaimed. Zhan Junbai huffed. “Don’t argue with me, Jiang-xiong. Besides, I’m going to need you to go to Hong Kong to keep an eye on Lu Ka Si for me” he declared. Jiang Yuelou frowned. “Lu Ka Si? That old man?” he exclaimed. Zhan Junbai hummed. “Yeah, him. He’s trying to take control of Hong Kong and the trade there, which isn’t a bad thing, but I feel like he has an ulterior motive” he explained. Jiang Yuelou frowned again. “Ulterior motive? Like what?” he asked. Zhan Junbai looked at him and smiled. “That’s why I’m sending you to Hong Kong. You’re going to tell me whether or not my hunch is right” he explained. Jiang Yuelou looked at him before he huffed. “You’re the boss” he murmured. Zhan Junbai smirked. “I am” he agreed. Jiang Yuelou rolled his eyes before he playfully punched Zhan Junbai in the arm. “Shut up” he teased. Zhan Junbai stuck his tongue out at him, only to have Jiang Yuelou grab at it. “Do that again and I might just pull your tongue out” he warned, but his tone was playful. Zhan Junbai smiled before he motioned to the door. “Go rest. I need you at your peak for Hong Kong” he instructed. Jiang Yuelou nodded. “You got it, boss” he agreed before he turned and headed out of Zhan Junbai’s office, Zhan Junbai watching him leave.

~*~*~*~*~*~

A few weeks later, when Jiang Yuelou arm had recovered (quite nicely I might add), he headed off with two of his most trusted subordinates, Song Rong and Sun Yongren, to Hong Kong. When they arrived, Sun Yongren huffed. “We were really sent to Hong Kong to do some babysitting? Really?” he grumbled. Song Rong huffed. “At least we get to do something. This is better than staying back in Jing City” he stated. Jiang Yuelou looked at them before he rolled his eyes. “Boys, boys, we’re not here to babysit, we’re here to see if Zhan Junbai’s hunch is right or not” he stated before he motioned to a nearby café. “Let’s go get some coffee. That train ride wiped me out” he murmured. Song Rong and Sun Yongren nodded, the three men soon taking off towards the café. When they arrived, they sat down at a table, the waitress soon coming to take their orders. As they waited for their orders, Sun Yongren crossed his arms. “What kind of hunch does Zhan Junbai have, exactly?” he asked, looking over at Jiang Yuelou. Jiang Yuelou shook his head. “No idea. That’s what we’re here to find out” he replied, just as the waitress came back with their coffees, placing them before them. She then turned and walked away as Song Rong, Sun Yongren, and Jiang Yuelou took a sip of their coffees. “God, that’s good” Song Rong murmured. Jiang Yuelou nodded in agreement, just as he looked outside, noticing a familiar face. His eyes widened in surprise before he put down his cup and stood to his feet, making Song Rong and Sun Yongren look up at him. “Where are you going, Boss?” Sun Yongren asked. Jiang Yuelou said nothing as he continued out of the café, causing Song Rong and Sun Yongren to look at each other. “What was that all about?” Sun Yongren asked. Song Rong shook his head. “No idea” he replied.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Jiang Yuelou continued out of the café and over to the bridge, where a tall man with light skin, brown eyes, and dark brown hair was finishing speaking to a woman. As he turned around, his eyes widened when he saw Jiang Yuelou. “Fancy meeting you here, doc” he teased. The young man blinked, his mouth falling open in surprise before he dipped his head. “Hello” he replied. Jiang Yuelou smirked as he tilted his head to the side. “What are you doing all the way in Hong Kong?” he asked. The young doctor blinked before he lowered his head and clutched the papers he was holding in his hands tightly, making Jiang Yuelou frown. “Hey, hey, what’s wrong, doc?” he asked before he noticed the papers in the young man’s hand. He then reached out and took one of the flyers, looking at it. “What’s this? A missing person?” he murmured as he read the flyer. “Chen Keying” he murmured before he looked at the young man before him. “Who is she?” he asked. The young man sniffled. “My sister” he croaked. Jiang Yuelou nodded slowly. “I see…and you are—” he started, making the young man look up at him. “Dr. Chen Yuzhi. Her brother” he answered. Jiang Yuelou hummed. “Chen Yuzhi” he repeated before he crossed his arms. “What happened to your sister?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi took a deep breath, trying to contain his emotions, but he couldn’t help but let out a whimper as he lowered his head. Jiang Yuelou felt his heart clench for him, so he reached out and grasped him by the arm, making Chen Yuzhi look up at him with tear filled eyes. “Take your time. Just take take a deep breath” he soothed. Chen Yuzhi nodded and took a deep breath before he let out a shuddering breath. “When I was coming home from work one evening, Keying, who normally sits and waits for me outside on our front step, was gone. She was gone and…and I think she was taken. I looked around all the local brothels in Jing City and she wasn’t there, and they said she might be here in Hong Kong so I came as soon as I could. I’ve been trying to find her all day but I…I can’t—” he started before he let out a sob. Jiang Yuelou was quiet before he reached up and cupped the back of Chen Yuzhi’s neck, rubbing his neck comfortingly. “Shh, shh…” he soothed, his touch unusually gentle for a man who usually used his hands to commit violence. He continued to rub Chen Yuzhi’s neck, hushing the young man as he cried before he sighed softly. “I’ll help you find her” he declared. Chen Yuzhi looked up at him with wide, teary eyes, surprise evident on his face. “What?” he breathed. Jiang Yuelou smiled slightly. “I’ll help you find her. I have friends in…high places. I can ask around and see if they’ve seen her. Okay?” he offered. Chen Yuzhi blinked, his eyes wide like a deer in headlights, before he reached out and took Jiang Yuelou’s hand. “Will you really?” he breathed. Jiang Yuelou smiled. “Yeah. I’ll take care of all of this, so don’t worry about it” he assured. Chen Yuzhi looked at him, feeling tears come to his eyes again before he let out a sob, tears streaming down his face. “Thank you. Thank you” he whispered. Jiang Yuelou smiled softly and nodded, reaching out to gently wipe away Chen Yuzhi’s tears. “Don’t cry, doc. Don’t cry. I’ll find your sister. I’ll find her” he assured. Chen Yuzhi nodded and let out a shuddering breath as Jiang Yuelou removed his hand from his neck, clapping him on the arm. “Go home, Yuzhi. I’ll look for her” he assured. Chen Yuzhi sniffled and wiped his eyes before he nodded. “Thank you” he thanked before he turned, about to walk away when he stopped and turned to look back at Jiang Yuelou. “Wait!” he exclaimed, making Jiang Yuelou look at him with a raised eyebrow. “Yuzhi?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi smiled and quickly reached into his pocket, pulling out his wallet and opening it, reaching inside. He then pulled out a photo and handed it to Jiang Yuelou, who frowned as he took it from him. “So you know what Keying looks like. I don’t want you running around looking for a little girl that you have no idea what she looks like” he explained. Jiang Yuelou looked at the photo, smiling softly at it before he looked at Chen Yuzhi. “Thank you” he thanked. Chen Yuzhi shook his head. “No, thank you” he whispered before he turned and walked away again, Jiang Yuelou watching him walk away. “Who was that, Boss?” a voice called out, making Jiang Yuelou look over his shoulder to see Song Rong and Sun Yongren standing behind him. “The doctor who tended to my arm a couple of weeks ago” Jiang Yuelou answered as he slipped the photo into his leather jacket pocket. “What are you looking for?” Song Rong asked. “His little sister. He thinks she’s been taken” Jiang Yuelou answered. Sun Yongren frowned. “By who?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou shook his head. “I don’t know…but I promised him I’ll look for her, so that’s what I’m going to do” he declared. Song Rong chuckled. “Never seen you so gentle before, Boss” he teased. Jiang Yuelou tsked. “Don’t get used to it” he replied as he crossed his arms. “I wonder…” he murmured before he turned to look at Song Rong. “You and Yongren start asking around the brothels here in Hong Kong. Ask them in they’ve seen Lu Ka Si around or know of him” he instructed. Song Rong nodded. “Yes sir” he replied as Sun Yongren raised an eyebrow. “And what are you going to do?” he asked. “I have some friends here that I need to speak to. I’ll be back in a little bit” Jiang Yuelou declared before he turned and walked off, leaving Song Rong and Sun Yongren confused. “I’ve never seen him so gentle before…wonder what’s so special about that doctor?” Song Rong asked. Sun Yongren shook his head. “Should we look into him?” he inquired. Song Rong hummed. “Probably not. If he finds out, he’ll probably have our heads” he declared. Sun Yongren nodded. “And I don’t want to die” he agreed. Song Rong chuckled before he clapped Sun Yongren on the arm. “Let’s go” he ordered. Sun Yongren nodded and both men headed off to go do as Jiang Yuelou instructed.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile, Jiang Yuelou headed to a nearby police station, stepping inside and walking over to the information desk. “I’m looking for Detective Wang Meng. Is he here?” he asked, looking at the officer behind the desk. “Jiang Yuelou” a voice called out, making Jiang Yuelou turn to see a tall man with light tan skin, brown eyes, and short black hair styled in an undercut standing behind him. He smiled before he walked over to him and stopped before him. “Can you talk?” he asked. Wang Meng nodded and motioned outside. “Shall we?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou nodded and both men headed out of the police station, walking down the street. “What are you doing here?” Wang Meng asked. “Business” Jiang Yuelou answered before he looked over at Wang Meng. “You’ve done some surveillance on Lu Ka Si, haven’t you?” he asked. Wang Meng nodded. “Some, why? Zhan Junbai asking about him?” he replied. Jiang Yuelou nodded. “He thinks that he has some ulterior motive. Especially about wanting control of the docks here ” he explained. Wang Meng frowned. “Like what?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou was quiet before he looked over at Wang Meng. “Like human trafficking” he answered. Wang Meng’s eyes widened. “You think he’s smuggling people?” he hissed. Jiang Yuelou shrugged. “I don’t know, but it’s not something that he’s not capable of” he replied. Wang Meng hummed. “I suppose you’re right…what do you want me to do about it?” he asked. “I want you to continue your surveillance on Lu Ka Si. I need to know if he’s involved in human trafficking…it’s important” Jiang Yuelou explained. Wang Meng raised an eyebrow. “Is this for Zhan Junbai or for you?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou shot him a glare before he sighed. “A little bit of both. Zhan Junbai doesn’t do human trafficking, that’s the one thing he won’t touch, not even with a ten-foot pole. If he figures out that Lu Ka Si is involved with human trafficking, I’m sure he’ll want to put a stop to it” he explained. Wang Meng nodded. “That I can understand. But how does this concern you?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou sighed. “I promised a…friend of mine that I would help him find his sister” he explained. Wang Meng hummed. “You think she was taken?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou shrugged. “That’s what he said. And I have no reason to believe that he would lie to me” he replied. Wang Meng hummed. “I’ll look into it” he assured. Jiang Yuelou nodded before he reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out the photograph Chen Yuzhi gave him, handing it over to Wang Meng. “This is the girl” he stated. Wang Meng took the photo and looked at it before humming. “I’ll keep my eye out for her” he assured, handing the photo back to him. Jiang Yuelou nodded. “Thanks” he thanked. Wang Meng smirked. “It’s the least I can do. You and Zhan Junbai have saved my ass more than once before” he explained. Jiang Yuelou chuckled. “Glad you remember” he teased. Wang Meng huffed and rolled his eyes. “I’ve got to get back to work. I’ll give you a call if I find anything” he assured. Jiang Yuelou nodded. “Thank you” he thanked before he turned and walked off, going to find Sun Yongren and Song Rong while Wang Meng turned and headed back to the police station.

~*~*~*~*~*~

After speaking to Wang Meng, Jiang Yuelou met up with Song Rong and Sun Yongren, crossing his arms when he met them. “Well?” he asked. Song Rong and Sun Yongren sighed. “They said that Lu Ka Si never visited them himself, but that there was a man who visited in his place” Song Rong explained. Jiang Yuelou frowned. “A man?” he repeated. Sun Yongren nodded. “A few women said that he always brought a girl along with him, like he was dropping them off or handing them off to the brothels” he explained. Jiang Yuelou’s frown deepened. “He handed off girls?” he repeated. Song Rong and Sun Yongren nodded. “That’s what they said” they answered. Jiang Yuelou hummed. “We get a name?” he inquired. Song Rong shook his head. “No sir” he replied. Jiang Yuelou was quiet before he looked at them. “Did they ever see him with a little girl?” he asked. Song Rong and Sun Yongren frowned. “A little girl? We didn’t know to ask about a little girl” Sun Yongren stated. Jiang Yuelou growled before he took a deep breath. “So we can confirm that Lu Ka Si or at least his men have been smuggling or distributing girls to brothels then?” he asked. Song Rong hummed. “I don’t think so. Unless we can catch Lu Ka Si or his men in the distribution of women, we can’t do anything about it” he explained. Jiang Yuelou hummed before he looked at Sun Yongren and Song Rong. “Let’s head back to Jing City. I need to tell Zhan Junbai about what we found” he declared. Song Rong and Sun Yongren nodded, the three men heading towards the train station to head back home.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

When they returned to Jing City, Jiang Yuelou headed back to the Zhan Mansion, heading upstairs to speak to Zhan Junbai. When he stepped inside the office, Zhan Junbai looked over at him. “Well? Was my hunch correct?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou raised an eyebrow. “What, that Lu Ka Si was smuggling people? I think so” he replied. Zhan Junbai smirked. “It would make sense why he would want control of the ports and docks in Hong Kong. Not only would it make opium trade easier, it would also make smuggling a hell of a lot easier” he murmured. Jiang Yuelou hummed before he took a deep breath. “Zhan-xiong…will you do me a favor?” he asked. Zhan Junbai looked over at him and raised an eyebrow. “How unlike you to ask for favors, Jiang-xiong. What can I do?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou took another deep breath before he reached into his pocket and pulled out the photo Chen Yuzhi gave him, handing it over to Zhan Junbai. “That little girl in the photo, her name’s Chen Keying. She’s missing” he explained. Zhan Junbai took the photo and looked at it before he looked at Jiang Yuelou and raised an eyebrow. “And what would you like me to do?” he asked. “I promised her brother that I would find her. Could you use your resources and underground network to find her, please?” Jiang Yuelou replied. Zhan Junbai hummed as he looked at the photo. “Now this is really uncharacteristic for you, Jiang-xiong” he mused. Jiang Yuelou glared at him. “Look, can you find her or not? I promised Yuzhi that I would find her and I’m not breaking that promise” he growled. Zhan Junbai raised an eyebrow. “Yuzhi?” he repeated. Jiang Yuelou sighed heavily. “Dr. Chen Yuzhi. He’s the doctor that tended to my arm and a couple of our men” he explained, pointing to the young man in the photo. Zhan Junbai stared at him before he smiled. “You like him” he mused. Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened. “What?! No, I don’t—” he started when Zhan Junbai chuckled. “You do. Otherwise, you wouldn’t do something like this” he stated, holding up the photo. He then looked down at the photo and hummed. “He’s not bad looking…I just never thought you’d fall for the goody two shoes type” he mused as he handed the photo back to Jiang Yuelou. Jiang Yuelou took the photo back and looked it, smiling slightly at it. “He’s got some fire in him…he’s definitely not a pushover, that’s for sure” he murmured before he looked up at Zhan Junbai. “Will you, Zhan-xiong? Look for her?” he asked. Zhan Junbai hummed before he shrugged. “Since you asked so nicely and because you hardly ask for favors, I suppose. I’ll look into it�� he declared. Jiang Yuelou smiled. “Thank you. I have Wang Meng checking in Hong Kong, so we have both bases covered” he mused. Zhan Junbai looked at him before he huffed and shook his head. “When this is all over, I need to meet this doctor who softened your cold and cruel heart” he teased. Jiang Yuelou tsked. “Oh, fuck off” he grumbled. Zhan Junbai chuckled before he held out his hand. “Let me see that photo? I’m going to need it whenever I meet the underground” he explained. Jiang Yuelou nodded and handed over the photo, which Zhan Junbai took gently in his hand. “I’ll make sure to take good care of this” he assured. Jiang Yuelou nodded again. “I’m going to go see Yuzhi and let him know” he declared as he turned and headed out of Zhan Junbai’s office. Zhan Junbai watched him leave before he looked down at the photo in his hands. “I will find you…for Jiang-xiong” he murmured.

~*~*~*~*~*~

After leaving Zhan Junbai’s mansion, Jiang Yuelou headed off to town, hoping to maybe find Chen Yuzhi, since he said he was a doctor. As he walked around, he found that he couldn’t find the young man, so he decided to ask around. Thankfully someone was nice enough to point him in the direction of a nearby clinic, so he walked over and poked his head inside, noticing a young man dressed in a cream three-piece suit, smiling at a young child and their parent. Jiang Yuelou chuckled before he decided to lean up against the clinic, waiting for the child and the parent to leave before he slipped inside and walked over to the young man’s desk, sitting down on the edge of it. The young man looked up at him, his eyes widening in surprise. “Oh! It’s you!” he exclaimed. Jiang Yuelou chuckled and held out his hand. “I never introduced myself. Jiang Yuelou” he greeted. The young man blinked before he laughed and reached out, shaking Jiang Yuelou’s hand. “Dr. Chen Yuzhi” he replied. Jiang Yuelou smiled as he pulled his hand away and looked around at the clinic. “Nice clinic you got here, doc” he mused. Chen Yuzhi smiled. “Thank you” he thanked before he tilted his head to the side. “What are you doing here?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou looked at him before he smiled. “Oh, I just stopped by to let you know that I’ve got a few friends of mine looking into Keying’s disappearance. Whenever they know where she is, I’ll go and get her and bring her back to you” he declared. Chen Yuzhi looked at him with wide eyes. “Will you really?” he breathed. Jiang Yuelou smirked. “I promised you, didn’t I?” he replied. Chen Yuzhi smiled and nodded, but his smile was sad, making Jiang Yuelou frown before he reached out and gently tipped Chen Yuzhi’s head up, Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widening in surprise. “Why the long face, Yuzhi? Aren’t you happy?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi blinked before he nodded. “I am…I am” he whispered, a single tear trailing out of the corner of his eye. Jiang Yuelou huffed as he removed his hand from under Chen Yuzhi’s chin and reached up, wiping away the tear. “Then why are you crying?” he asked gently. Chen Yuzhi sniffled and wiped his eyes as he looked at Jiang Yuelou. “Because finally someone other than me cares about her. I asked the police to do something, and they just brushed it aside, saying that she’d come home eventually. I know my Keying; she wouldn’t just run off and leave. I know she was taken and no one…no one wanted to help me” he explained. Jiang Yuelou let out a low growl as Chen Yuzhi looked at him and smiled. “Until you came along” he explained. Jiang Yuelou felt his heart flutter as he looked at the young doctor before he cleared his throat and nodded. “Of course. Now, uh, I have to go but uh, I’ll let you know if I hear or find anything” he assured. Chen Yuzhi nodded as Jiang Yuelou slipped off his desk and headed out of the clinic, his hands in his pockets. “Gentle is a weird look on you, Jiang-xiong” a voice called out, making Jiang Yuelou look over to see Zhan Junbai leaning against Chen Yuzhi’s clinic. Jiang Yuelou tsked. “It’s only with him, okay? I’m not like this with anyone else, and you know it” he grumbled. Zhan Junbai chuckled as he pushed off the clinic and walked over to Jiang Yuelou. “I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, I’m just not used to seeing you be so gentle” he explained. Jiang Yuelou hummed as he began walking, Zhan Junbai at his side. “So, did you hear anything?” Jiang Yuelou asked. Zhan Junbai shook his head. “Nothing so far. I’ve asked around and I’ve shown the underground her picture, but nothing” he replied. Jiang Yuelou growled before he pinched the bridge of his nose. “I really hope she’s alive…I don’t want to break that kind of news to him” he murmured. Zhan Junbai hummed. “He does seem a bit fragile in that sense…” he agreed. Jiang Yuelou nodded. “Which is why we need to find her” he declared. Zhan Junbai huffed. “You know we’re not the police, right? Finding people isn’t really our thing. Getting rid of people is more our thing” he reminded. Jiang Yuelou nodded. “I know that. But the police aren’t doing shit to try and find her so if not them, then us. Besides, we have more networks and connections than the police” he stated. Zhan Junbai sighed. “You’re doing all this…for a little girl? And for a doctor that tended to your arm once?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou hummed. “Yes, but I’m also doing it for another reason” he replied. Zhan Junbai raised an eyebrow. “And that reason is—” he started, making Jiang Yuelou look over at him. “Well, you don’t like human traffickers, right?” he asked. Zhan Junbai nodded. “I may be a cruel man, but I’m not a fan of ripping women and children away from their families and selling them. It’s inhumane” he murmured. Jiang Yuelou huffed. “Says the man who deals opium and weapons, which can end up ripping and tearing families apart” he reminded. Zhan Junbai hummed. “Yes, but those are indirect casualties. Human trafficking is direct casualties” he stated. Jiang Yuelou tsked. “So basically what you’re saying is, you don’t want to get your hands dirty” he mused. Zhan Junbai shrugged. “In a sense, yes. That’s why I have you. You don’t mind getting your hands dirty” he stated. Jiang Yuelou smirked. “Well, I have always been your errand boy” he mused. Zhan Junbai looked over at him and frowned. “You’re more than just that, Jiang Yuelou” he declared as he suddenly stopped walking, making Jiang Yuelou stop as well and look over at him with wide eyes. “You’re family. And if I didn’t care for you, and want to help you, I wouldn’t have agreed to do this favor for you” Zhan Junbai continued as he reached out and clapped Jiang Yuelou on the arm. “You’re my brother, Jiang Yuelou. We’re family. Okay?” he declared, looking Jiang Yuelou in the eyes. Jiang Yuelou blinked, feeling tears come to his eyes, before he nodded. It had been a long time since he had anyone call him “family” and he definitely wasn’t expecting it to come from Zhan Junbai. “Let’s go find this little girl, huh? You can punch Lu Ka Si in the face if he’s behind her trafficking” Zhan Junbai offered. Jiang Yuelou wiped his eyes before he sniffled and nodded. “Oh, I’ll do more than just punch him in the face” he growled as they started walking again. Zhan Junbai laughed and shook his head. “Easy tiger, we can’t kill him until we find out if that girl is alive or not” he reminded. Jiang Yuelou growled again. “She better be, or I’m dropping Lu Ka Si into the sea with weights tied around his ankles” he spat. Zhan Junbai smiled. “And there’s my violent Jiang Yuelou. I wondered where he went” he teased, giving Jiang Yuelou an affectionate shoulder nudge. Jiang Yuelou tsked and gave him a playful shove. “Oh fuck off” he grumbled, Zhan Junbai chuckling as they continued down the street.

~*~*~*~*~*~

It took a while, but after a few weeks of searching, Jiang Yuelou received a phone call from Wang Meng, saying that they had caught a man distributing girls to different brothels and that he might be the one who knows where Keying is. The minute he heard, he rushed to Zhan Junbai’s office, all but breaking down the door. “They think they might have found the middle man” he breathed. Zhan Junbai looked up with wide eyes before he stood up and walked over to the coat rack, grabbing his coat before looking at Jiang Yuelou. “Let’s go” he ordered. Jiang Yuelou nodded and soon both men were off, heading to the station to get on the next train to Hong Kong.

~*~*~*~*~*~

When they arrived, Wang Meng was waiting for them, much to Zhan Junbai’s surprise. “You asked Wang Meng?” he asked as he and Jiang Yuelou walked over to the detective. “He’s my contact here in Hong Kong and besides, he owes us” Jiang Yuelou explained. Zhan Junbai hummed as Wang Meng dipped his head. “I don’t want my men to see me with you, so we need to move quickly” he stated. Zhan Junbai and Jiang Yuelou nodded and followed after the detective, the three men moving quickly through the train station. After they exited the train station, they headed over to the police station, Wang Meng leading them to the holding cells, where they were holding the man. The minute the man saw Wang Meng, he laughed. “You think I’m going to tell you anything? That’s funny” he sneered. Wang Meng huffed. “Oh, it’s not me you’re going to be talking to” he replied as he opened the cell door and stepped back, allowing Zhan Junbai and Jiang Yuelou to step inside. The minute the man saw them, his eyes widened and he let out a horrified gasp, causing Zhan Junbai to laugh darkly. “I take it you know who we are then. Good” he purred as Jiang Yuelou cracked his knuckles. “Now, all you have to do is tell us a few things and my friend here won’t break your face” Zhan Junbai continued. The man gulped and looked over at Jiang Yuelou, who was glaring at him, before he looked back at Zhan Junbai. “What do you want to know?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou then walked over to him and pulled out the picture of Keying and Chen Yuzhi, showing it to the man. “Have you seen this little girl?” he asked, pointing to Keying. The man leaned forward and looked at the photo before he shrugged. “Maybe I have. Why?” he replied. Jiang Yuelou growled and slipped the photo back into his pocket before he grabbed the man by the front of his shirt. “Because she’s missing and I need to get her back” he growled. The man smirked. “What’s in it for me?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou growled before he punched the man in the face, making him groan in pain. “You’re in no positions to make any deals. You either tell us where she is or you die. Simple as that” Zhan Junbai replied calmly. The man gulped before he shook his head. “I don’t know where she is” he explained, causing Jiang Yuelou to punch him in the face again. “Don’t lie to me. You know where she is” he snarled. The man shook his head again. “I don’t. I really don’t. The only person who knows where the girls are is Lu Ka Si. He’s the one who chooses the girls and then all I have to do is pick them up wherever he tells me they are” he explained. Jiang Yuelou hummed as Zhan Junbai stepped forward. “Do you where we can find Lu Ka Si?” he asked. The man shook his head. “He only calls me to tell me where the girls are or he’ll send someone to find me” he explained. Jiang Yuelou let out another low growl, about to lose his shit, when Zhan Junbai placed a hand on his shoulder. “Easy, Jiang-xiong. I think I have an idea” he declared as he looked at the man. “Can you get in touch with Lu Ka Si?” he asked. The man nodded. “I have his number memorized” he replied. Zhan Junbai nodded in reply before he looked over at Wang Meng. “Uncuff him and bring him to a phone” he ordered. Wang Meng looked at him with wide eyes before he sighed and stepped into the cell, uncuffing the man before dragging him out of the cell, Zhan Junbai and Jiang Yuelou following him. They then headed over to one of the police desk, Wang Meng grabbing the phone receiver before holding it out to the man. “Call him” he ordered. The man nodded and quickly dialed Lu Ka Si’s number before he handed the receiver over to Zhan Junbai, who took it and placed it to his ear. “Hello?” a voice answered “Lu Ka Si” Zhan Junbai greeted after a moment. “Executive Zhan! What do I owe this pleasure?” Lu Ka Si asked. Zhan Junbai smiled darkly. “I know you’ve been talking about possibly doing trade between us, so I was wondering if you would be willing it meet up to discuss this trade” he explained. “Oh, you’re in Hong Kong?” Lu Ka Si asked. “I am. What do you say we meet by the docks? As that is where I know you want some control” Zhan Junbai explained. “If Executive Zhan is asking to meet, who am I to say no? The docks will be fine. Shall we say…an hour?” Lu Ka Si asked. “Perfect. And don’t be late” Zhan Junbai warned before he hung up the call and looked at Wang Meng and Jiang Yuelou. “The docks. One hour. That’s probably where he’s keeping the girls as it’s easier to hide them there than anywhere else” he mused. Jiang Yuelou nodded as did Wang Meng while the man chuckled. “Lu Ka Si isn’t going to tell you anything. Doesn’t matter how scary you are, Lu Ka Si rules Hong Kong, not you” he sneered. Jiang Yuelou growled before he turned and punched the man in the face, watching as he collapsed, his face covered in blood. “Shut the fuck up” he snarled as he shook out his hand, his knuckles stinging. “Maybe your doctor can patch you up when this is all over” Zhan Junbai teased. Jiang Yuelou shot him a look before he huffed. “Let’s just go find this son of a bitch and save Keying” he grumbled. Wang Meng chuckled, as did Zhan Junbai before they turned and headed out of the police station, Jiang Yuelou following behind, leaving the man that Jiang Yuelou punched in the face on the floor.

~*~*~*~*~*~

After waiting an hour, Zhan Junbai arrived at the docs, where an older man with wrinkled light tan skin, white hair, a white mustache, and brown eyes was waiting for him, a small smile on his face. “Executive Zhan” the man greeted. Zhan Junbai smiled in return. “Lu Ka Si” he replied. “So, you wish to speak about maybe doing a trade together?” Lu Ka Si asked, raising an eyebrow. Zhan Junbai shook his head. “Actually, I’d like to talk to you about something else” he stated. Lu Ka Si frowned. “What would you like to talk about?” he asked. “Do you know this girl?” a voice growled from behind him, making him spin around to see Jiang Yuelou holding up the photo of Chen Yuzhi and Keying. Lu Ka Si looked at the photo before he smiled. “What a pretty little thing. I know her, yes. Why?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou growled. “Where is she?” he demanded. Lu Ka Si raised an eyebrow. “Why? Would you like to buy her?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou felt his blood run cold as he looked up at Zhan Junbai, his eyes screaming for him to do something or else he would. Zhan Junbai nodded slightly before he looked at Lu Ka Si. “Yes, I would” he declared. Lu Ka Si smiled. “I can take you to her, if you would like” he offered. Zhan Junbai nodded. “If you don’t mind” he replied. Lu Ka Si smiled again and motioned for Zhan Junbai to follow him as he headed towards one of the nearby warehouses on the dock. Zhan Junbai followed behind him, Jiang Yuelou behind him, the three men walking over to one of the warehouses. As soon as they reached the warehouse, Lu Ka Si unlocked the door and pushed it open, revealing a warehouse full of women and children. Zhan Junbai and Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened before Zhan Junbai growled. “You sick son of a bitch” he snarled as he grabbed Lu Ka Si’s head in his hands before promptly snapping his neck, watching as the man fell to the floor, dead. As Zhan Junbai took care of Lu Ka Si, Jiang Yuelou ran into the warehouse, looking around. “Keying! Keying!” he called out. When there was no reply, he sighed before he cupped his hands around his mouth. “CHEN KEYING!” he shouted. “Y-Yes?” a weak voice called back, causing Jiang Yuelou to spin around before he a young girl with light skin, brown eyes, and long black hair tied in two messy braids standing up amongst all the women. His eyes widened and he quickly ran over to her, the women getting out of his way as he knelt before her. “Are you Chen Keying?” he asked. The girl looked at him before she nodded. “Y-Yes” she stammered, fear very evident in her eyes. Jiang Yuelou let out a sigh of relief before he smiled gently at her. “I’m here to take you home” he declared. Keying blinked. “Home?” she whispered. Jiang Yuelou nodded. “Home” he assured as he stood to his feet before reaching down and scooping Keying into his arms. Keying froze but Jiang Yuelou just rubbed her back comfortingly, hushing her. “It’s okay. You’re okay. You’re safe now” he promised. Keying let out a shuddering breath before she wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in the crook of his neck. “I wanna go home” she whimpered. Jiang Yuelou smiled softly. “And we are, baby. We’re going home” he promised as he turned and walked towards Zhan Junbai, who was discussing with Wang Meng (who had shown up not too long ago) what to do with the women and other children. When he arrived before them, Zhan Junbai raised an eyebrow. “Is it her?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou nodded. “It’s her” he replied. Zhan Junbai let out a sigh of relief before he looked over at Wang Meng. “We’ll leave this to you” he stated. Wang Meng nodded as Jiang Yuelou and Zhan Junbai turned and walked away while Wang Meng turned and looked back at the warehouse full of women, who were looking at him with wide, scared eyes. “Well, I’ll be damned…” he murmured.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Back in Jing City, Chen Yuzhi was finishing up some paperwork when a man and a little girl stepped into the clinic. “Gege!” the little girl exclaimed, causing Chen Yuzhi’s head to shoot up, his eyes wide. “Keying?” he murmured. When he saw who was standing in the entrance of his clinic, he let out a gasp and quickly shot to his feet. “Keying” he whispered as he walked around his desk and walked over to the man and the little girl that were standing in the entrance of his clinic. He then knelt down before the little girl, tears in his eyes as he cupped her face in his hands. “Keying” he breathed, relief in his face and voice. The little girl whimpered before she let go of the man’s hand and threw her arms around him, burying her face in his neck. “Gege!” she wailed. Chen Yuzhi let out a sob as he wrapped his arms around Keying and hugged her tightly, like he was afraid she was going to disappear. “Oh Keying…oh Keying” he sobbed, pressing a kiss to her head before he looked up at the man, tears streaming down his face. “Thank you. Jiang Yuelou, thank you” he croaked. Jiang Yuelou smiled and nodded. “You’re welcome” he replied. Chen Yuzhi then looked at Jiang Yuelou’s knuckles and noticed how they were bloody, making his eyes widen. “Your knuckles” he breathed. Jiang Yuelou looked down at them before he shrugged. “Eh, it’s nothing” he replied. Chen Yuzhi shook his head as he quickly wiped his eyes and stood to his feet, taking Keying’s hand. “It’s not nothing. Let me look at it before it gets infected” he urged. Jiang Yuelou sighed and shook his head fondly before he walked over to Chen Yuzhi’s desk, sitting on top of it. “Alright, if you’re so insistent” he murmured. Chen Yuzhi smiled before he and Keying walked back to his desk, Chen Yuzhi sitting Keying down in his chair while he grabbed his kit and opened it, pulling out his bottle of iodine and cotton balls as well as a pair of forceps. He then opened the bottle of iodine and took his forceps, clamping them down on a cotton ball, which he then dipped into the iodine. He then began to gently clean Jiang Yuelou’s bloody knuckles, making Jiang Yuelou hiss in pain. “Are you okay, gege?” Keying asked. Jiang Yuelou looked over at her and smiled. “I’m fine, baby” he assured. Keying nodded as Chen Yuzhi continued to clean Jiang Yuelou’s knuckles, sighing softly. “You should really stop getting hurt, Yuelou” he murmured. Jiang Yuelou smirked. “Now why would I do that? If I keep getting hurt, it keeps giving me an excuse to see you” he teased. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened as a blush came to his face and he pressed just a little harder into Jiang Yuelou’s sore knuckles, making Jiang Yuelou cry out in pain before looking at Chen Yuzhi with wide eyes. “Yuzhi!” he exclaimed. Chen Yuzhi smirked slightly. “You deserved that” he murmured. “You’re right, Yuelou. He’s quite the feisty little thing” a voice called out, making Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi look up to see Zhan Junbai walking into the clinic. “Zhan-xiong” Jiang Yuelou greeted as Chen Yuzhi looked at him with wary eyes. Jiang Yuelou then looked at Chen Yuzhi and smiled softly. “Don’t worry, Yuzhi, he’s just my boss, Zhan Junbai” he explained. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened as he looked at Zhan Junbai. “As in head of the Zhan family, the largest crime syndicate in Jing City?” he breathed. Zhan Junbai smiled. “The one and only” he replied. Chen Yuzhi looked at him for a moment before he dipped his head. “Thank you” he thanked. Zhan Junbai and Jiang Yuelou raised an eyebrow. “For what?” Zhan Junbai asked. Chen Yuzhi took a deep breath before he looked at Zhan Junbai. “You helped find Keying, right?” he replied. Zhan Junbai blinked before he nodded. “Yes” he answered. Chen Yuzhi smiled. “Then thank you” he thanked. Zhan Junbai looked at him with wide eyes before he cleared his throat and nodded. “You’re welcome” he replied, a slight blush on his cheeks. He then looked at Jiang Yuelou and smirked. “Take the rest of the day off, Jiang-xiong. You deserve it” he declared before he turned and walked out of the clinic. Chen Yuzhi and Jiang Yuelou watched him walk away before Jiang Yuelou looked back at Chen Yuzhi, who was finishing up his cleaning. “So, you’re really part of a crime family?” Chen Yuzhi murmured. Jiang Yuelou hummed. “Thought that was pretty evident from the first night we met” he replied. Chen Yuzhi chuckled weakly. “I should have known…or at least put two and two together” he mused. Jiang Yuelou shook his head. “You couldn’t have known…I didn’t exactly act like how I normally do around you” he explained. Chen Yuzhi looked up at him and raised an eyebrow. “How do you normally act?” he inquired. Jiang Yuelou then leaned forward, smiling devilishly. “Violent” he purred. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened like a deer in headlights as Jiang Yuelou chuckled. “You look cute when you do that, doc” he teased. Chen Yuzhi blushed deeply as he let go of Jiang Yuelou’s hand. “Stop that” he murmured. Jiang Yuelou smiled before he turned to look at Keying, who was watching the two men with big, innocent eyes, and smiled as he reached out and gently cupped her cheek in his hand. “You be a good girl now, okay? Be good for your brother” he instructed. Keying nodded, making Jiang Yuelou smile again as he stroked her cheek before he let go of her face, about to slip off the desk when Keying reached out and grabbed his hand. “Gege, wait! Don’t go!” she exclaimed. Jiang Yuelou looked at her in surprise before he looked at Chen Yuzhi, who was also looking at her in surprise, before he turned to look at Jiang Yuelou and huffed, a small smile on his face. “Since she doesn’t want you to go, would you care to join us for dinner? I’m sure she hasn’t eaten in a while” he explained. Jiang Yuelou smiled before he shrugged. “Sure” he replied. Chen Yuzhi smiled a little wider before he looked over at Keying and held out his hand. “Come on, sweetheart, let’s go get something to eat” he suggested. Keying’s eyes widened in delight, and she quickly let go of Jiang Yuelou’s hand as she took Chen Yuzhi’s hand, hopping off his chair. They then walked around Chen Yuzhi’s desk as Jiang Yuelou slid off, Keying immediately reaching out and taking his hand. Jiang Yuelou looked down at her and huffed fondly before he looked at Chen Yuzhi. “Shall we, Yuzhi?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi nodded and the three of them headed out of the clinic, Chen Yuzhi pausing and letting go of Keying’s hand so that he could close up the clinic before he took Keying’s hand again. As they walked away from the clinic, Keying looked up at Jiang Yuelou. “Are you gonna stay, gege?” she asked. Jiang Yuelou blinked before he smiled. “Of course I’ll stay. Only if your brother will have me, however” he stated. Keying then turned to look up at Chen Yuzhi, her eyes big and puppy like. “Please, gege?” she asked. Chen Yuzhi looked down at her, then up at Jiang Yuelou, who smirked, before he sighed and smiled. “How could I say no to a face like that?” he replied. Keying grinned before she looked back at Jiang Yuelou. “You’ll take care of us, right?” she asked. Jiang Yuelou smiled fondly as he reached over and gently pet her head. “Of course I will” he promised before he looked up at Chen Yuzhi. “Both you and your brother” he declared. Chen Yuzhi blushed deeply as Keying grinned brightly, her demeanor completely different from how it was in Hong Kong. As they continued walking, Chen Yuzhi looked over at Jiang Yuelou. “Do you really mean it?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou looked back at him before he smiled. “I promised I would get Keying back and I did, didn’t I?” he replied. Chen Yuzhi nodded. “You did” he whispered. Jiang Yuelou’s smile then turned soft, almost fond. “If I didn’t break that promise, then I’m not going to break this one” he declared. Chen Yuzhi looked at him with wide eyes before he smiled, his eyes slightly glassy as he nodded. “Okay” he agreed. Jiang Yuelou smiled as he, Keying, and Chen Yuzhi continued away from the clinic, Keying’s hands held both lovingly and protectively in his and Chen Yuzhi’s. What he had said to Keying, he absolutely meant with every fiber of his being. He would protect both her and Chen Yuzhi and he would get the Zhan family to protect them as well. As long as he lived, nothing would happen to Chen Keying or Chen Yuzhi. Not if he could help it.

Note

5: as it appears in the quick note I scribbled to myself while coming up with these: MURDER HUSBANDS in suits with glocks in a modern mafia au

We love us some murder husbands. Hope I did this prompt justice!

Yu Tangchun wondered how his life came to be like this. Like one day he was one of the most popular opera singers in Jing City and now here he was, standing in the middle of an abandoned warehouse with a gun in his hand, pointing said gun at a man on his knees before him, his hands tied behind his back. “Please, please, spare me—” the man begged but Yu Tangchun tsked. “I’m not the one you should be asking” he replied before he pulled the trigger, blood splattering all over his white suit pants as the man collapsed before him, dead. Yu Tangchun looked down at the dead man with a huff before he placed the safety back on his gun and turned, heading out of the warehouse and over to where another man, a tall man with light skin, brown eyes, and short black hair, was leaning up against a black car with a small smile on his lips. “Well done, my love” he purred. Yu Tangchun huffed as he looked down at his suit pants. “I got blood all over my pants again” he grumbled. The man leaning up against the car huffed. “And this is why we wear dark colored clothes when we’re executing people, my dear. That way we don’t get blood all over our clothes” he gently chided. Yu Tangchun narrowed his eyes as he pointed a finger at him. “Junbai, I earned my title of “White Snake”. What’s the point of have a title like that if I don’t look the part?” he demanded. The man, Yu Tangchun’s husband Zhan Junbai, looked at him before he chuckled and shook his head. “You’re a strange one” he murmured. Yu Tangchun huffed. “Remember, you married me” he reminded. Zhan Junbai hummed and nodded. “I did, I did” he agreed before he pushed off the car. “Let’s go home” he declared. Yu Tangchun nodded, waiting for Zhan Junbai to get into the driver’s seat before he got into the passenger’s seat, Zhan Junbai putting the car into drive before they took off, heading home.

~*~*~*~*~*~

The car ride was quiet, peaceful, with Zhan Junbai humming softly as he drove down the street as Yu Tangchun shut his eyes and rested his head against the headrest, enjoying the sound of his husband’s voice. As they continued driving, Zhan Junbai didn’t notice the large SVU dangerously speeding towards them and before either of them knew what was happening, their limo was hit and sent spiraling through the air before crashing a few feet away, landing upside down. In the passenger seat, Yu Tangchun let out a groan and blinked a couple of times, trying to get his head to stop hurting. “Junbai?” he croaked, turning to look over at his husband, letting out a soft sigh of relief when he saw that he was thankfully still buckled in, but unconscious. “Junbai. Junbai” he croaked, reaching out to touch him when he heard the sound of crunching glass, making him narrow his eyes as he watched two pair of pants walk towards their car. “Who the fuck are you?” he snapped, but the pair of pants ignored him as they opened the driver’s side door, one of the pairs bending down and unbuckling Zhan Junbai’s seatbelt while the other pair grabbed him before he fell out of his seat, pulling him out of the car. Both pair of pants then walked away, leaving Yu Tangchun in the car. “You fuckers! Bring him back!” he shouted, quickly unbuckling his seatbelt. He then fell onto the roof of the car, hissing as he landed against shattered glass, but he didn’t pay much attention as he opened the car door and crawled out just in time to see Zhan Junbai being place into a black Escalade as two men in black suits got in, the Escalade driving away. Yu Tangchun watched them drive off, a snarl on his lips. “Those bastards” he hissed. He then looked around, trying to see where he was, before he huffed and pulled out his phone and dialed a number, placing his phone to his ear. “Chu Min. Grab your sister and meet me at Dr. Chen’s clinic” he ordered before he began walking, more like limping, towards the city, hissing as he clutched at his arm.

~*~*~*~*~*~

When Yu Tangchun arrived in the city, which thankfully wasn’t that crowded as it was still pretty early in the minute, he quickly made his way towards a small clinic that always had its doors open, quietly slipping inside. The minute he stepped inside, a small girl no older than eight looked up from the desk that she was sitting at, her eyes widening in shock and horror. “Uncle Yu!” she exclaimed before she looked towards the second floor. “GEGE!” she called out. At the sound of her shout, a tall man with light skin, brown eyes, and dark brown hair came running down the stairs, his eyes wide. “Keying?” he replied before he looked towards the entrance of his clinic and noticed Yu Tangchun and how awful he looked. “Tangchun!” he exclaimed, immediately running over to him. He then took him carefully by the arm and led him over to a nearby chair, sitting him down. “Good lord, what happened to you? You look like you got into a car accident” he murmured as he looked the man over. “We did” Yu Tangchun hissed as he clutched at his arm. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened. “You what?!” he exclaimed. Yu Tangchun nodded as he continued to clutch at his arm, making Chen Yuzhi frown at it. “Are you alright?” he asked. Yu Tangchun shot him a look, causing him to laugh softly. “Sorry, dumb question I know. But is your arm okay? That’s what I meant to ask” he explained. Yu Tangchun sighed. “I think it’s dislocated” he replied. Chen Yuzhi hummed. “I can fix that” he replied as he stepped forward and grabbed Yu Tangchun by his uninjured arm. “Come upstairs” he instructed. Yu Tangchun nodded and allowed Chen Yuzhi to drag him upstairs to where his clinic beds were and lead him over to one of the beds, sitting him down. “Lie down” he instructed. Yu Tangchun nodded and laid down as Chen Yuzhi walked over his left side and reached out, taking his dislocated left arm in his hands. He then began to slowly move Yu Tangchun’s arm toward his head, making small gentle but firm pumping motions about 2.5 inches up and down. Once Yu Tangchun’s arm was about the height of his shoulder, making a 90-degree angle, Chen Yuzhi began to rotate his arm in place. Yu Tangchun hissed softly, making Chen Yuzhi smile apologetically. “Sorry” he apologized as he continued to move Yu Tangchun’s arm up towards his head until it was at about a 120-degree angle, still slightly rotating the arm. After a moment, Chen Yuzhi stopped pumping Yu Tangchun’s arm and looked down at the man. “How does it feel now?” he asked. Yu Tangchun moved his arm a bit before he nodded. “I think it’s back in place” he replied. Chen Yuzhi nodded. “Good” he declared before he walked over to one of his many shelves and grabbed a piece of cloth before walking back Yu Tangchun and bending his arm at the elbow. He then quickly wrapped that arm in the cloth, creating a makeshift sling. “Unfortunately, you’re going to have to keep your arm like this for a little while, just so that your shoulder can heal” he explained. Yu Tangchun nodded as Chen Yuzhi smiled. “Shall we go back downstairs?” he asked. Yu Tangchun nodded again before he pushed himself to his feet and walked over to the stairs, heading down them, Chen Yuzhi following behind him. Yu Tangchun then walked over to a chair and sat down as Chen Yuzhi walked over to his desk and sat down on it, crossing his arms. “Care to explain the blood on your pants?” he asked. Yu Tangchun looked over at him before he looked down at his white pants, which were stained with blood splatter. “Ah…business” he replied. Chen Yuzhi hummed, just as a young girl with light skin, brown eyes, and short black hair and a a young man with light skin, brown eyes, and light brown hair came running into the clinic, their eyes wide. “Papa!” they screamed, making Chen Yuzhi look over at them with wide eyes while Yu Tangchun smiled slightly. “A-Min. A-Li” he greeted. “What happened?!” the young girl, Liu Li, exclaimed. “Why is your arm in a sling?!” the young man, Chu Min, cried. Yu Tangchun raised a hand, quieting both of them. “I dislocated my arm in a car crash” he answered. Chu Min and Liu Li frowned. “A car crash?” Chu Min repeated as Liu Li looked around. “Wait, where’s Daddy?” she asked. Yu Tangchun sighed. “He was taken” he answered. “WHAT?!” Liu Li and Chu Min screamed and even Chen Yuzhi looked shocked. “What do you mean he was taken?” Keying, Chen Yuzhi’s little sister, asked, looking over at them. Yu Tangchun let out a heavy sigh. “When we got into the accident, these two men in suits came and took him away…where they took him, I have no idea” he replied. Liu Li clenched her hands into fists. “We have to get him back” she declared. Yu Tangchun nodded. “And I plan to…I just need to know where they took him first” he growled. “Should I ask Yuelou for help?” Chen Yuzhi asked, causing Chu Min, Yu Tangchun, and Liu Li to look over at him. “He’s a cop. Why would we want his help?” Liu Li spat. “Liu Li. Be nice” Yu Tangchun scolded before he looked at Chen Yuzhi, who was looking at him earnestly. He then sighed and shook his head. “Liu Li’s right, Yuzhi. You and Yuelou…you’re not part of our world. And it’s not that we don’t want your help, we just…” he started. “We don’t want you or Uncle Jiang to get hurt” Chu Min finished. Chen Yuzhi chuckled and shook his head. “Just because I’m a doctor doesn’t mean I can’t fight. Besides, you’ll need outside help because who else is going to help you track down your husband no questions asked?” he asked, raising an eyebrow. Yu Tangchun made a face; Chen Yuzhi had a point. “Also, who are you going to go to when Zhan Junbai needs to be patched up? Any normal doctor wouldn’t even spare him a glance” Chen Yuzhi continued. Yu Tangchun sighed as Liu Li growled and pulled a knife out of God knows where, pointing it at him. “Shut up!” she screamed before she rushed towards Chen Yuzhi, who just looked lazily at her before he slipped off his desk, his hands in his pockets, almost looking bored. “Liu Li!” Chu Min exclaimed, but Liu Li ignored her older brother’s exclamation as she continued to run at Chen Yuzhi before attacking him, hacking, and stabbing. Chen Yuzhi, however, just calmly dodged and avoided the attacks, causing Liu Li to growl in frustration as she continued to attack but before she could even actually hurt him, Chen Yuzhi took his hands out of his pockets and quickly blocked the attack before skillfully snatching the knife out of Liu Li’s hand. Liu Li looked at him with wide eyes as he studied the blade before spinning it in his hand, letting out a soft hum. Then, without warning, he suddenly attacked and pressed the blade to Liu Li’s throat, causing her to let out a shriek of surprise while Chu Min’s eyes widened. “Liu Li!” he cried when Yu Tangchun held out a hand. “It’s alright” he soothed as he looked at Chen Yuzhi and Liu Li, Liu Li’s blade pressed against her own neck, Chen Yuzhi looking her in the eyes before he took a step back, pulling the blade away from Liu Li’s throat. Liu Li let out a soft gasp as Chen Yuzhi spun the blade in his hand before holding it out to Liu Li, who looked at him with wide eyes as he smiled. “Little girls shouldn’t have blades unless they know how to use them” he stated. Liu Li blinked in surprise as Chen Yuzhi smiled, motioning for her to take the blade from him. She looked at him before she reached out and cautiously took the blade from him, slipping it back into its sheath as she slowly back away, heading back to the safety of Yu Tangchun and Chu Min. “Never assume someone’s background” Chen Yuzhi instructed before he looked at Yu Tangchun. “Now, shall I make that call?” he inquired. Yu Tangchun sighed. “If you must” he murmured. Chen Yuzhi smiled and walked back to his desk, quickly picking up the phone before dialing a number, placing the phone to his ear. “Yuelou” he greeted after a moment. He listened to his husband, Jiang Yuelou, on the other line before he smiled. “Are you busy at the moment? I need you to come down to the clinic to help me with something” he stated. He listened and raised an eyebrow before he laughed. “I’ll tell you when you get here” he assured. He smiled and hummed before he nodded. “Love you too. See you soon” he bid before he hung up and looked at Yu Tangchun, Chu Min, and Liu Li. “He should be here soon” he declared.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

About five minutes later, Chen Yuzhi’s husband, Police Commissioner Jiang Yuelou, walked into the clinic, raising an eyebrow when he saw Yu Tangchun, Chu Min, and Liu Li in there as well. “What’s going on here?” he asked. “Uncle Zhan got kidnapped and Uncle Yu needs you to track him down” Keying explained. Jiang Yuelou looked over at her before he looked back at Yu Tangchun. “Zhan Junbai got kidnapped?” he repeated. Yu Tangchun nodded. “We were t-boned by an Escalade and two men in suits took him…who they were and why they took him, I have no idea” he explained. Jiang Yuelou hummed. “If that’s all you got to go on, it might take a while…” he murmured as Chen Yuzhi looked over at him. “How many triads in Jing City own Escalades? Genuinely?” he inquired. Jiang Yuelou crossed his arms. “Not too many…” he replied before he looked at Yu Tangchun. “Are you sure it was a triad?” he asked. Yu Tangchun huffed. “What normal person would kidnap San Ye? Honestly? Only a triad would do something that stupid” he grumbled. Jiang Yuelou hummed and crossed his arms before he looked at Yu Tangchun. “I’ll have my men look into it. You should get some rest” he suggested, motioning with his chin to Yu Tangchun’s bandaged arm. Yu Tangchun shook his head. “I won’t rest until Junbai comes home” he declared. Chen Yuzhi gave him a look. “Tangchun, don’t be stubborn. You’re in no condition to fight and you’ll just end back up here anyways with more injuries than what you came in with” he snapped. Yu Tangchun looked at him and Jiang Yuelou before he sighed. “Alright, alright, you two win. I’ll get some rest. Please let me know when you find him” he asked. Chen Yuzhi and Jiang Yuelou nodded as Yu Tangchun pushed himself to his feet and looked at Chu Min and Liu Li. “Let’s go” he instructed. Chu Min and Liu Li nodded, waiting for Yu Tangchun to leave to the clinic before they followed him out, the three of them walking away from the clinic, Jiang Yuelou, Chen Yuzhi, and Keying watching them walk away.

~*~*~*~*~*~

As they walked away from Chen Yuzhi’s clinic, Chu Min supporting Yu Tangchun as they walked, Liu Li looked over at Yu Tangchun. “Papa” she started, making Yu Tangchun look over at her and raise an eyebrow. ��Yes A-Li?” he replied. Liu Li motioned with her head towards Chen Yuzhi’s clinic, frowning. “How was he…how was he able to do that?” she asked. Yu Tangchun blinked before he laughed softly. “You mustn’t underestimate a gentle and kind soul like Chen Yuzhi, my dear. He’s incredibly skilled with a blade…and not just because he’s a doctor” he explained. Liu Li frowned. “Is he like you? Like daddy?” she asked. Yu Tangchun hummed. “No…no, Yuzhi’s not like us. He could be, but he chooses to be kind and gentle and not harm people” he replied. “But he almost hurt A-Li! He put a knife to her throat!” Chu Min exclaimed. Yu Tangchun hummed again. “Obviously he thought she should be taught a lesson” he replied calmly before he looked at Liu Li. “We do need to work on your knife skills…maybe we can ask Yuzhi if he’s willing to teach you. What do you say?” he inquired. Liu Li looked at him before she sighed. “I guess” she agreed. Yu Tangchun smiled. “Good girl” he praised as Chu Min looked at him. “Do you really think Uncle Jiang can find Father?” he asked. Yu Tangchun was quiet before he nodded. “Yes…yes, I think he can. If anyone can find your father, it’s Jiang Yuelou” he replied.

~*~*~*~*~*~

It did take Jiang Yuelou some time, but he did eventually locate Zhan Junbai’s whereabouts. Once he had found him, he gave Yu Tangchun a call, the young man immediately coming to Chen Yuzhi’s clinic. “You found him?” he breathed as he burst into the clinic. Chen Yuzhi and Jiang Yuelou looked at him before Jiang Yuelou nodded. “Took me a while, but I found him” he replied. Yu Tangchun let out a relieved sob before he looked at Jiang Yuelou. “Where is he?” he asked. “He’s in Hong Kong” Chen Yuzhi answered. Yu Tangchun looked at him in confusion. “Hong Kong? What is he doing in Hong Kong?” he demanded. “Do you know a man by the name of Lu Ka Si?” Jiang Yuelou inquired. Yu Tangchun looked at him and frowned. “Lu Ka Si? No, Junbai never mentioned him. Who is he?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi sighed as he leaned against his desk and crossed his arms. “Opium dealer. His main headquarters and trade routes are based in Hong Kong” he answered. Yu Tangchun frowned. “And you know him how?” he inquired. Chen Yuzhi snarled. “Dealt with a number of opium overdose deaths where the decedent had bought opium that traced back to him” he answered. Jiang Yuelou nodded in agreement. “Traced a number of opium dens back to him and his men” he added. Yu Tangchun frowned. “So why would he take Junbai?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi shrugged. “Junbai is the leader of the underworld here in Jing City…maybe he hopes to get on Junbai’s good side and get him to work with him” he offered. “He probably wants trade routes or protection for his opium. Like Yuzhi said, since Junbai is the leader of the underworld here, Lu Ka Si knows that he probably has to go through him to get what he wants” Jiang Yuelou added. Yu Tangchun shook his head. “And he thinks kidnapping my husband is going to get the results he wants?!” he shrieked. Jiang Yuelou shrugged this time. “Maybe he knows that he won’t get anywhere with trying to talk or reason with Junbai…so kidnapping is the only way to go” he mused. Yu Tangchun looked at him before he took a deep breath, rubbing his temples in thought. Chen Yuzhi and Jiang Yuelou looked at one another before they looked at him. “Are you alright, Tangchun?” Jiang Yuelou inquired. Yu Tangchun was quiet before he nodded and looked up at them, his eyes full of murder and rage. “I’m fine” he answered. Chen Yuzhi then crossed his arms. “What’s your plan?” he asked. Yu Tangchun looked over at him before he smiled. “I’m going to sing” he replied. Chen Yuzhi and Jiang Yuelou looked at him in shock. “Sing? What do you mean, sing?” Jiang Yuelou demanded. Yu Tangchun chuckled. “I mean sing. I’m going to perform for Lu Ka Si” he declared. Chen Yuzhi shook his head. “Are you mad?! I specifically forbade you from singing because of your throat disease! It’s now in remission and you want to potentially bring it back?!” he exclaimed. Yu Tangchun calmly looked at him, a small smile on his face. “Zhan Junbai is more important to me than anything else in this world, Dr. Chen. I’m going to save him, whatever it takes” he replied. Chen Yuzhi gritted his teeth before he pushed himself off his desk and stormed over to his drawers full of medicine, searching through them before he found a small bottle of pills, which he grabbed before heading back to Yu Tangchun, shoving them in his hands. “If you insist on doing this, at least take these so I won’t have to worry so much about you” he grumbled. Yu Tangchun looked down at the bottle, recognizing the pills he took when he was sick, and smiled softly as he looked up at Chen Yuzhi, who was looking back at him with slightly watery eyes. “Thank you, Yuzhi” he thanked. “Just be careful, Tangchun. Please” Jiang Yuelou asked. Yu Tangchun smiled and nodded. “I will” he assured.

~*~*~*~*~*~

After talking to Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi, Yu Tangchun went home to grab a few things that he would need, like a few more magazines for his gun and a fan that he would need for his performance. He then looked at himself in the mirror at his white suit and hummed. “I suppose I should change” he mused as he walked into his closet and changed into a loose fitting white changshan, smiling as he placed a gun holster on the outside of his pants leg, holstering his gun there. After he placed his gun in the holster, he rolled up his sleeves and strapped two knife holsters there before slipping a blade into each of them. Once he was prepared, he picked up his fan and smiled. “Maybe I won’t even need to sing…maybe I can just slip inside and kill them all” he murmured as he unfurled his fan, watching as the blade on the edge of the fan glinted under the closet light.

~*~*~*~*~*~

After grabbing everything he needed, he took the address that Jiang Yuelou sent him and got on the next train to Hong Kong. When he arrived in Hong Kong, he quietly made his way to where Lu Ka Si’s mansion were, which were unsurprisingly just outside of the city. As he walked over to the mansion, he noticed two men standing guard outside, making him hum. “Mmm…too easy” he mused before he straightened his shoulders and plastered on a fake smile as he walked towards the mansion. The minute the guards noticed him they pointed their guns at him. “Stop right there” they ordered. Yu Tangchun raised an eyebrow before he stopped and tilted his head. “I’m sorry, I’m a bit lost. Do you think you could help me?” he asked, an innocent smile on his face. The two guards looked at each other before one of the guards slowly walked towards him before stopping. “What can I help you with?” he asked. Yu Tangchun smiled a little wider. “This is where Lu Ka Si lives, correct?” he inquired. The guard frowned slightly. “Why?” he asked. Yu Tangchun smiled. “Well, I need to see him. He took something of mine” he replied. The guard raised an eyebrow. “What did he take?” he asked before he let out a sudden gurgled grunt, his eyes widening as he looked down at Yu Tangchun, who had stabbed him in the abdomen with one of his knives. Yu Tangchun smiled darkly at him as he twisted the knife in his gut before he yanked the knife out, watching as the man fell to the ground with a thud. He then looked up at the other guard, who was looking at him with wide eyes but before he could even pull the trigger, Yu Tangchun threw his knife, hitting the man dead between the eyes. The man then slumped against the wall before sliding down it, Yu Tangchun tsking. “You shouldn’t have gotten in my way” he murmured as he walked over to the man and yanked the blade out of his skull, wiping the brain matter and blood off on the man’s shirt before he slipped the blade back into its holster. “Now…to find Junbai” he declared as he slipped into the hideout. Once he was inside, he looked around and thankfully there was no one there to see him or stop him. He then continued into the mansion, making his way to the large living room, letting out a soft gasp when he saw Zhan Junbai curled up in a fetal position on the floor, his hands bound behind his back, unconscious from what Yu Tangchun could tell, completely surrounded by men with their guns pointed at him. “Junbai” he whispered before he let out a growl and stepped into the room. The minute he stepped into the room, all eyes were on him and his white changshan stained with blood and they immediately moved their guns from Junbai to him. “Oh…it looks like we have a visitor” a voice purred, making Yu Tangchun look up to see an older man with wrinkled light tan skin, white hair, a white mustache, and brown eyes walking down the stairs from the second floor to the living room. Yu Tangchun snarled at him before he plastered a smile on his face, dipping his head. “Hello. I’m Yu Tangchun, a famous opera singer. I’ve come to perform for you” he explained. The man with the white hair raised an eyebrow. “You have? Well, we certainly are in for a treat” he mused as he walked over to the couch and sat down, motioning for the men to put down their guns before he looked at Yu Tangchun and smiled. “You can begin” he instructed. Yu Tangchun smiled and nodded before he unfurled his fan and began to sing, making sure to put on quite the performance, even though he didn’t have any costumes or instruments accompanying him. As he performed, he could tell that the man and his men were entranced, which he knew they would be. Before he became the White Snake in Zhan Junbai’s world, he had another nickname in his world: the Siren. With any song that he sang, he could almost cast a spell on the audience and keep them captivated the entire time without growing bored, almost like they were in a trance. He continued to sing, making sure the men were still entranced, before he made his move, slowly and almost seductively moving towards the old man, a small smile growing on the old man’s face. However, before the old man knew what was happening, Yu Tangchun took his fan and slit his throat, watching with dark glee as his eyes widened before he slumped over on the couch, blood spilling out of his neck. Yu Tangchun then unholstered his gun from his leg holster before spinning around, beginning to fire shots at the men, who were still in a trance. Thanks to Zhan Junbai’s tutelage, Yu Tangchun was a deadly shot, hitting almost every man between the eyes. Once all the men were dead, Yu Tangchun put his gun away and ran over to Zhan Junbai, kneeling down beside him, gently cupping his face in his hands. “Junbai. Junbai” he murmured, hoping that his husband would wake up by the sound of his voice, but Zhan Junbai didn’t even stir. Yu Tangchun let out a whimper before he reached into his sleeve and pulled out a blade, using it to slice the ropes binding Zhan Junbai’s wrists behind his back before he put the blade back in its sheath and pulled Zhan Junbai into his arms, holding him. “Junbai…oh Junbai” he whispered, gently petting Zhan Junbai’s hair before he took a deep breath and reached into his pocket, pulling out his phone. He then dialed a number before he placed his phone to his ear, taking a deep breath as he gently stroked Zhan Junbai’s hair. “Jiang Yuelou? It’s me” he declared.

~*~*~*~*~*~

A few hours, Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi arrived at Lu Ka Si’s mansion, immediately noticing the two guards dead outside. “How many bodies do you think are going to be inside?” Jiang Yuelou inquired. Chen Yuzhi huffed. “He’s as ruthless as Zhan Junbai…I’m sure they’re all dead” he mused. Jiang Yuelou nodded. “Probably” he agreed as they headed inside the mansion, eyes widening slightly at the massacre before they looked over to see Yu Tangchun kneeling on the ground, Zhan Junbai cradled in his arms. “Boss Yu” Chen Yuzhi called out, causing Yu Tangchun to look up before he smiled. “Yuzhi. Yuelou” he greeted. “I see you took care of business” Jiang Yuelou mused as he looked around at the bodies surrounding them. Yu Tangchun smiled and nodded. “I did” he replied as Chen Yuzhi walked over and knelt before him, reaching out to press two fingers to Zhan Junbai’s pulse. “It’s there, but it’s faint…and I don’t think we can get him back on the train looking like this…” he murmured before he looked up at Jiang Yuelou. Jiang Yuelou just looked back at him before he nodded. “I’ll take care it” he assured before he turned and walked out of the mansion, pulling out his phone. As he walked away, Chen Yuzhi looked at Yu Tangchun and smiled. “How’s your throat?” he inquired. Yu Tangchun hummed. “Not too bad…I didn’t strain myself if that’s what you’re wondering” he replied. Chen Yuzhi nodded. “Good, good” he murmured as he began to look over Zhan Junbai. “How is he?” Yu Tangchun asked. Chen Yuzhi shook his head. “I’m not sure…I can’t tell unless we get him to a hospital” he replied, just as Jiang Yuelou walked back in. “Yuzhi” he called out, making Chen Yuzhi and Yu Tangchun look up. “Did you get it?” Chen Yuzhi inquired. “I did” Jiang Yuelou replied as he walked over to them. Chen Yuzhi nodded. “Good” he murmured before he looked at Yu Tangchun. “We’re going to take him to a hospital now” he declared. Yu Tangchun nodded and allowed Jiang Yuelou to step forward and carefully lift Zhan Junbai from his lap, Chen Yuzhi standing up and walking over to help him. The two men then carried Zhan Junbai out of the mansion, Yu Tangchun pushing himself to his feet as he looked around at the bodies before he snarled. “No one takes my husband from me. No one” he snarled. He then continued out of the mansion and walked over to Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi’s car, getting in the backseat with Zhan Junbai as Jiang Yuelou started the car and drove off.

~*~*~*~*~*~

When Zhan Junbai finally woke up, he found himself hooked up to multiple hospital machines, which was surprising because the last thing he remembered was driving home in the car with Yu Tangchun. “What happened?” he murmured. “You’re awake” a voice replied beside him, causing him to look over to see Yu Tangchun sitting beside him, smiling softly. “Fu Cheng” he whispered. Yu Tangchun smiled a little wider. “Welcome back to the land of the living” he greeted. Zhan Junbai groaned. “Where am I?” he inquired. “Hospital in Hong Kong” Yu Tangchun answered. Zhan Junbai frowned. “Hospital? Hong Kong?” he repeated. Yu Tangchun nodded. “On our drive home, we were t-boned and you were kidnapped. Jiang Yuelou tracked you to Hong Kong and Lu Ka Si’s mansion” he explained. Zhan Junbai snarled. “Lu Ka Si…that bastard” he hissed. Yu Tangchun chuckled. “Hmm, well, said bastard is currently sitting dead on his couch with his throat slit” he replied. Zhan Junbai paused and blinked before he looked at Yu Tangchun. “Did you really?” he asked. Yu Tangchun smiled. “You’re always saving me…it was my turn to save you” he replied. Zhan Junbai chuckled and shook his head. “I never should underestimate my White Snake, should I?” he teased. Yu Tangchun chuckled and hummed as he leaned forward, pressing his forehead to Zhan Junbai’s. “No, you really shouldn’t” he agreed.

~*~*~*~*~*~

A few months later, Yu Tangchun was once again standing inside a warehouse with a gun in his hand, only this time Zhan Junbai was standing beside him, a gun in his hand as well as a rather well-known opium dealer stood before them, fear in his eyes. “Please I beg of you—” he started. “Beg? You should be on your knees if you’re going to beg” Zhan Junbai spat. The opium dealer’s eyes widened before he got down on his knees and looked up at them, clasping his hands together. “Please, please, don’t do this. I beg of you” he pleaded. Zhan Junbai tsked. “Begging will get you nowhere. Especially with us” he sneered. The dealer’s eyes widened. “Wait, no, don’t please—” he started but Zhan Junbai and Yu Tangchun just pulled their triggers, watching as the man’s body collapsed before them. “Another dealer taken care of…Jiang Yuelou should be happy” Zhan Junbai murmured, Yu Tangchun humming in agreement. The two men then turned and headed out of the warehouse that they basically used for their executions, Zhan Junbai glancing over at Yu Tangchun. “What are you thinking about, my dear?” he asked. Yu Tangchun looked back at him before he shook his head. “Nothing, just…thinking about how this is my life now” he replied. Zhan Junbai frowned. “Do you dislike this life?” he asked. Yu Tangchun’s eyes widened, and he quickly shook his head. “No, no, of course I don’t” he replied before he smiled and gently nudge Zhan Junbai’s shoulder with his. “I love this life because this life has you in it. I wouldn’t exchange it for anything else the world” he replied. Zhan Junbai smiled as he reached out and took Yu Tangchun’s hand in his, giving it a squeeze. “I wouldn’t exchange it either” he agreed. Yu Tangchun smiled; he really couldn’t be happier. Did they kill people for a living? Sure. But they were mafia, that’s what they did. And they always did it together.

Hi! How about a modern au? Everyone knew that Zhan Junbai had one weakness, opera singer Yu Tangchun, and he was ready to kill anyone for him. But the shadow world did not know, and Junbai did everything so that no one would understand that he had another weakness-his younger brother Chen Yuzhi. If Tangchun is his soul, then Yuzhi is his heart. He taught him self-defense so that Yuzhi could stand up for himself and hires Wang Meng to guard him. Yuzhi is against it at first, but then he humbles himself. Wang Meng is helping him at the clinic. For everyone, Chen Yuzhi is Yu Tanchun's personal doctor. Yuzhi doesn't know that Zhan Junbai is the head of the triad. That's just Junbai's competitors found out about Yuzhi and kidnap him, seriously wounding Wang Meng, who defended his ward to the last. Zhan Junbai received a video in which his younger brother is beaten and brazenly groped. The head of the triad has destroyed his office in a rage and is raising all his people. The devil Zhan Junbai will drown the city in blood for every scratch on his brother's body. At this time, Jian Yuelou with a squad of police is going to storm the mansion where that gang is located. He is informed that there is a hostage in the house. Yuelou orders the rescue of the hostage. The assault begins with Zhan Junbai's men. They attack from different sides. Jian Yuelou finds the bound guy and pulls him out. Yuzhi is out of his mind from pain and shock and beats his savior. Jian Yuelou grumbles, but pulls it out. Zhan Junbai is late by some minutes and he is furious. Yuelou takes care of the wounded Yuzhi, who distrusts him. He was kidnapped, tortured, he has the right to do it! Naturally, Jian Yuelou falls in love with the stubborn and sarcastic doctor/I want the evil Yuzhi /. Zhan Junbai finds his brother and does not like that he is with a policeman, but his husband quickly brings him to his senses. Wang Meng survived and promises that he will make Yuelou hell if he offends his little brother. Yu Tangchun says the same thing, and Jian Yuelou is more afraid of him than even Zhan Junbai.

I love me some modern aus with mafia elements mixed in. Fuck yeah

Everyone in Jing City knows that Zhan Junbai, head of Jinma Hall, has a weakness and that would be his husband, Yu Tangchun, a rather famous opera singer

Many triads and other criminals who see themselves as Zhan Junbai’s rival has tried to take him hostage and has learned very quickly that…that’s a bad fucking idea

But they don’t know that he has another weakness; his younger brother, Chen Yuzhi. Now, they’re not technically brothers, but they’ve known each other since they were children so they consider each other brothers

Chen Yuzhi, of course, doesn’t know that Zhan Junbai is a triad leader, he just knows him as the Minister of Finance, as that’s his “cover job”

But because Zhan Junbai just wants to keep Chen Yuzhi safe, because his world is dark and ugly and Chen Yuzhi doesn’t need to be a part of it, he teaches him self-defense so that he can protect himself and hires a bodyguard, Wang Meng, to watch him

Chen Yuzhi thinks that having a bodyguard is a little ridiculous, he’s just a doctor after all, but Zhan Junbai won’t hear it so Chen Yuzhi begrudgingly accepts

And he doesn’t mind Wang Meng too much, he’s rather nice, he’s quiet, and he helps out whenever Chen Yuzhi needs a hand

Yu Tangchun visits Chen Yuzhi pretty frequently, but that’s because he’s currently fighting a throat disease that Chen Yuzhi is doing his very best to combat

One day, some new competitors of Zhan Junbai decide to take Yu Tangchun hostage so they go to the clinic to kidnap him but he’s not there, only Chen Yuzhi is. He’s not exactly who they were expecting, but he’s a friend/ the doctor of Yu Tangchun and that’s good enough for them so they kidnap him

Wang Meng tries to stop them, only to get up with a bullet to the gut and is left on the stoop of Chen Yuzhi’s clinic for dead

Zhan Junbai then later receives an email with a video link from the kidnappers which shows them viciously beating the ever-loving shit out of Chen Yuzhi

One of them then turns to the camera and smiles

“You better come get your doctor, San Ye. I don’t think he’s going to last much longer”

Zhan Junbai then flies into a rage, practically destroying his office before he orders his men to find the kidnappers and bring Chen Yuzhi back safely

Meanwhile, in the Jing City Police Department, Jiang Yuelou and a small team he put together is getting ready to start a raid on the same group that kidnapped Chen Yuzhi

Once they’re ready, they quickly head out to the location and quietly slip into the hideout, just as Zhan Junbai’s men storm in, practically ruining the operation. However, Jiang Yuelou isn’t going to let that stop him and just orders his men to take down everyone

He takes down a few men too before he starts searching rooms, just to make sure that there aren’t any hostages, when he opens a room to find Chen Yuzhi tied to a chair, beaten and delirious

Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widen and he quickly rushes over to him, gently patting his cheek

“Hey, hey! Are you okay? Are you alright?”

Chen Yuzhi blinks deliriously at him before his eyes narrow and he hits his head against Jiang Yuelou’s, causing Jiang Yuelou to stumble back and hiss, clutching at his head before he huffs

“I’m trying to help you, damn it, not hurt you”

He then walks back over to the chair and begins to untie Chen Yuzhi, noting how red his wrists are, which makes him frown. Once Chen Yuzhi is free, Jiang Yuelou scoops him into his arms, Chen Yuzhi struggling in them

“No! No, put me down! Put me down!”

Jiang Yuelou, however, just tightens his grasp on him

“Calm down, calm down! I’m not going to hurt you!”

Chen Yuzhi thankfully calms down, actually falling unconscious after been tortured for so many days

Jiang Yuelou then heads out of the hideout, his officers flanking him

“Sir”

“I’m taking him to the hospital. You guys go back”

His officers nod as Jiang Yuelou takes Chen Yuzhi to the hospital to get treated. When Zhan Junbai shows up at the hideout a little later and finds almost dead, both his men and the kidnappers, and Chen Yuzhi gone, he’s not happy

He then finds someone who’s barely hanging on and demands to know what happened, the person explaining that the police came and took everyone out. Zhan Junbai demands to know if they saw Chen Yuzhi and the person shook his head; they didn’t see him

Zhan Junbai growls and puts a bullet in their brain because useless. He then looks around the hideout and growls. Where the hell is his little brother?

When Chen Yuzhi finally wakes up, he finds himself in a hospital bed and Jiang Yuelou sitting next to him, smiling softly

“You’re awake”

Chen Yuzhi narrows his eyes at him

“Who are you?”

Jiang Yuelou smiles

“Chief Jiang Yuelou. I rescued you a few days ago”

Chen Yuzhi frowns

“And you brought me here?”

Jiang Yuelou nods

“You were beaten within an inch of your life. Doctors thought you weren’t going to make it”

Chen Yuzhi hums as Jiang Yuelou tilts his head

“What’s your name?”

Chen Yuzhi glances at him

“Dr. Chen Yuzhi”

Jiang Yuelou frowns

“Why’d a doctor get kidnapped by a triad?”

Chen Yuzhi shakes his head

“Don’t know”

Jiang Yuelou hums

“Sure you didn’t piss one of them off?”

Chen Yuzhi shoots him a glare

“Do I look like someone who goes around pissing off triads?”

Jiang Yuelou laughs and shakes his head

“No, no, of course not”

He then tilts his head

“Feisty thing, aren’t you?”

Chen Yuzhi smirks

“You just seem to bring out that side of me”

Jiang Yuelou barks out a laugh before he reaches out and gently pats Chen Yuzhi’s arm

“Get some rest. I’ll come back to check on you tomorrow”

He then stands up and leaves the hospital room, Chen Yuzhi watching him leave before he shuts his eyes and goes to sleep

Jiang Yuelou comes back almost every day to check on Chen Yuzhi and spend time with him. The doctor is feisty and snarky but also gentle and caring, always asking about him and his day whenever he comes to visit. Jiang Yuelou likes him

Chen Yuzhi likes Jiang Yuelou a lot too…he always comes to visit, he’s both gentle but also sarcastic and he likes talking to him. He always tells interesting stories about his cases or about his subordinates

One day, Jiang Yuelou doesn’t come and Chen Yuzhi is worried. When Jiang Yuelou shows up the next day, Chen Yuzhi pouts at him

“You didn’t come yesterday”

Jiang Yuelou looks at him in surprise as he sits beside him

“Did you miss me?”

Chen Yuzhi looks away and Jiang Yuelou chuckles

“Sorry, I got caught up with a case and by the time I wanted to come, they already stopped accepting visitors”

Chen Yuzhi hums and turns to face him as he smiles

“You get to get out of here soon…you excited?”

Chen Yuzhi nods slightly

“Yes…and no”

Jiang Yuelou raises an eyebrow

“No?”

Chen Yuzhi nods

“You’ll stop visiting me once I leave”

Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widen and he shakes his head

“No, I’ll keep visiting you. I like you, Yuzhi, I don’t want to stop seeing you”

Chen Yuzhi looks at him in shock as he nods

“I promise. I’ll keep visiting you”

Chen Yuzhi blinks before he holds out his hand

“Swear it”

Jiang Yuelou laughs and clasps his hand, giving it a squeeze

“I promise”

Chen Yuzhi nods

“Good”

When Chen Yuzhi is released from the hospital, he heads back to work, Zhan Junbai and Yu Tangchun immediately coming to see him

They both smother him and demand to know if he’s okay and Chen Yuzhi just assures them that he’s fine, a very nice police officer looked after him

Zhan Junbai bristles; he has a loathing for police officers, just as Jiang Yuelou steps into Chen Yuzhi’s clinic, his eyes widening in shock at the sight of Zhan Junbai, Yu Tangchun, and Chen Yuzhi all together

“Um…Yuzhi?”

Chen Yuzhi smiles and motions to Zhan Junbai

“Jiang Yuelou, meet my brother, Zhan Junbai”

Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widen

“Your brother…is the fucking…head of Jinma Hall?”

Chen Yuzhi blinks

“What? No, he’s the Minister of Finance”

Zhan Junbai sighs

“I’m both, Yuzhi”

Chen Yuzhi looks at him with wide eyes

“Why didn’t you tell me?!”

Zhan Junbai sighs again

“Because I didn’t want you to get hurt”

He then turns to look at Jiang Yuelou and narrows his eyes

“And I take it you’re the police officer who took care of my little brother?”

Jiang Yuelou blinks before he nods

“Yeah, I rescued him from that triad all those weeks ago”

Zhan Junbai hums

“I suppose I should thank you then”

Jiang Yuelou blinks, just as Wang Meng steps into the clinic, Chen Yuzhi looking at him in shock

“Wang Meng! You’re okay!”

Wang Meng hums before he looks at Jiang Yuelou, who looks back at him with wide eyes

“You!”

Chen Yuzhi raises an eyebrow in surprise

“You two know each other?”

Jiang Yuelou huffs

“He’s an opium dealer…I’ve been trying to bring his ass in for weeks”

Wang Meng smirks

“You’re not fast enough”

Jiang Yuelou narrows his eyes

“Zip it”

Wang Meng smirks as Jiang Yuelou looks over at Chen Yuzhi

“I can uh…come back later. Since this seems to be a bit of a…family reunion”

Chen Yuzhi shakes his head

“No, it’s alright. Besides, I think it’s alright for me to tell my brother”

Jiang Yuelou hums as Zhan Junbai frowns

“Tell your brother…what?”

Chen Yuzhi smiles

“Jiang Yuelou and I are dating”

Zhan Junbai’s eyes widen and he turns to look at Jiang Yuelou before he looks back at Chen Yuzhi

“A cop? You’re dating a cop?”

Chen Yuzhi huffs

“What? He’s nice, he cares about me…I like him. You don’t have to like him, but I do”

Zhan Junbai growls and shakes his head

“No, I won’t allow it”

“Too bad”

Zhan Junbai whirls on Jiang Yuelou as he crosses his arms

“I like Chen Yuzhi. Besides, I can keep him safer than you can”

Zhan Junbai growls and storms up to him

“Is that a challenge?”

Jiang Yuelou huffs

“Your line of work is what put him in danger in the first place, remember?”

Zhan Junbai makes a face before he turns to look at Chen Yuzhi, his eyes pleading

“Does it have to be this one?”

Chen Yuzhi nods

“Yes”

Zhan Junbai groans before he looks at Jiang Yuelou and pokes him in the chest

“If you hurt him…I will end you”

Jiang Yuelou huffs

“I kind of figured that”

Yu Tangchun then smiles and walks over to him, placing a hand on his arm

“He really does mean it, Chief Jiang”

Jiang Yuelou nods

“I know. Sleep with one eye open and everything, I know”

Yu Tangchun then slide a dagger out of his sleeve and points it at him

“Good that you know that”

Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widen before he looks over at Wang Meng

“Care to add anything else?”

Wang Meng just smiles and cracks his knuckles, Jiang Yuelou nodding

“Got it”

Chen Yuzhi then walks over to them and waves them off

“Stop it! He won’t hurt me”

Zhan Junbai and Yu Tangchun both hum before they leave the clinic, Jiang Yuelou shooing Wang Meng away too before he looks at Chen Yuzhi

“Well…they’re fun”

Chen Yuzhi blushes

“Sorry, they’re just really protective”

Jiang Yuelou smiles and leans over, kissing his temple

“It’s alright. Never took you for a triad leader’s brother tho”

Chen Yuzhi huffs

“I didn’t even know…”

Jiang Yuelou hums

“Well, I’m sure he did it to just keep you safe. That kind of world isn’t meant for kind people like you”

Chen Yuzhi smiles before he chuckles

“You know…they’re going to be your family too”

Jiang Yuelou smiles

“I’m sure your brother’s gonna love that”

Chen Yuzhi chuckles

“He definitely wasn’t too thrilled”

Jiang Yuelou hums before he looks at him

“Don’t worry…just like I’ll protect you, I’ll protect them too”

Chen Yuzhi looks at him in shock

“You will?”

Jiang Yuelou huffs

“They’re family, aren’t they? Family protects family”

Chen Yuzhi smiles as does Jiang Yuelou

And Jiang Yuelou really does keep his promise to protect Chen Yuzhi as well as Zhan Junbai, Wang Meng, and Yu Tangchun

Zhan Junbai still isn’t very happy about the fact that Chen Yuzhi loves a cop but he can’t deny that his baby brother is happy, which is all he’s ever wanted for him

And he finds that Jiang Yuelou isn’t so bad…bit of a snarky shit, but he cares for Chen Yuzhi as well as Yu Tangchun and that is a sure way to Zhan Junbai’s heart so…he gets a pass (he will never tell Jiang Yuelou to his face though that he’s growing on him. He has a reputation to protect and all)

Don’t Touch Jiang Yuelou’s Doctor

Inspired by prompt: Yuzhi and Yuelou are out eating dinner. But yuzhi becomes violently ill (due to being poisoned). Yuelou brings him to hospital, but the doctors don’t know if the doctor will survive. Causing Yuelou to have a breakdown full of white hot murderous rage. So, a reader over on AO3 requested this prompt, and asked for it to be a mafia au prompt and y’all know how I am a slut for mafia au prompts so...here we are! I hope we enjoy!

It was a nice and quiet evening as Jiang Yuelou, local triad leader of the 天狗吃日, and his husband, Dr. Chen Yuzhi, sat across from each other at a rather fancy restaurant, just enjoying each other’s company. “Is this nice, Yuzhi? Just the two of us” Jiang Yuelou mused. Chen Yuzhi smiled and nodded. “Mm. I can’t remember the last time we actually got to sit down and just…enjoy ourselves. Without being called away to work or…business” he replied. Jiang Yuelou chuckled and smiled, nodding in agreement, just as the waiter came over, carrying two plates of food. “Your meals, sirs” he murmured, placing the meals before Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi before quickly turning and walking away. As soon as he walked away, Chen Yuzhi looked down at his food and frowned. “Oh” he murmured, making Jiang Yuelou look up at him with a raised eyebrow. “What’s wrong?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi shook his head. “Nothing, it’s just…this isn’t what I ordered” he explained. Jiang Yuelou frowned. “No? Well, let me get a waiter and have them change it” he offered. Chen Yuzhi quickly shook his head. “No, no, it’s fine. I’ll eat it” he assured. Jiang Yuelou huffed. “Yuzhi, if it’s not what you ordered, just change it” he argued. “Yuelou, no, they’re busy. It’s fine” Chen Yuzhi argued. Jiang Yuelou looked at his husband, who was looking back at him with a stubborn look on his face, before he sighed heavily and reached out, picking up Chen Yuzhi’s plate. “Yuelou—” Chen Yuzhi started when Jiang Yuelou picked up his plate and placed it before Chen Yuzhi, placing Chen Yuzhi’s down in front of him. “Eat mine. It’s something I know you’ll eat” he stated. Chen Yuzhi looked at him with wide eyes before he smiled softly. “Thank you” he murmured. Jiang Yuelou huffed fondly and shook his head. “So stubborn” he replied. Chen Yuzhi smiled before he took a bite of his food, letting out a soft hum of content. “Good, huh?” Jiang Yuelou asked. Chen Yuzhi looked at him and nodded just as he frowned and let out a cough, making Jiang Yuelou look at him in concern. “Yuzhi? Are you okay?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi looked at him and nodded, swallowing his bite of food before he coughed again, his throat suddenly feeling weirdly tight. Jiang Yuelou frowned. “Are you sure you’re okay?” he demanded. Chen Yuzhi nodded as he reached for his water, only to cough again, harsher this time. “You’re not suddenly allergic to the food, are you?” Jiang Yuelou demanded, looking at him in concern. Chen Yuzhi shook his head. “No” he croaked before he coughed again, this time coughing so hard that other patrons of the restaurant were starting to look at him in concern. “Yuzhi—” Jiang Yuelou started when Chen Yuzhi pulled his hand away from his mouth, his palm covered in blood. At the sight of the blood, Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened before he looked over at Jiang Yuelou, whose eyes were also wide in shock. “Jiang Yuelou” he whispered before his eyes fluttered and he suddenly collapsed out of his chair. “CHEN YUZHI!” Jiang Yuelou shouted, making everyone in the restaurant look over at them with wide eyes, a few patrons who were sitting near them letting out a gasp when they saw Chen Yuzhi unconscious on the floor, a thin trail of blood coming out of the side of his mouth. “Yuzhi. Chen Yuzhi!” Jiang Yuelou exclaimed, giving his husband a gentle shake but Chen Yuzhi was still…far too still for Jiang Yuelou’s liking. He then placed two fingers to Chen Yuzhi’s pulse point, barely feeling a pulse, causing his eyes to widen before he looked up at the patrons around him. “Call an ambulance!” he barked. He thankfully didn’t have to tell them twice as everyone was pulling out their phones, dialing “110” while he gently cradled Chen Yuzhi in his arms, his eyes flitting over his unconscious husband in fear.

~*~*~*~*~*~ When the paramedics finally arrived, they rushed over to Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi and had to practically pry Chen Yuzhi out of Jiang Yuelou’s arms because he just would not let go. After finally getting Jiang Yuelou to let go of Chen Yuzhi, the paramedics rushed him to the ambulance before speeding off to the hospital. Jiang Yuelou, like any worried husband, wanted to follow after them and make sure that Chen Yuzhi was alright, but unfortunately for him he had to stay because he had to answer fucking questions. “Boss Jiang, if you could just tell us what happened, you could go see Dr. Chen” the young officer in charge of questioning him stated but Jiang Yuelou was too anxious and irritated to even register what the young officer was saying, making the young officer groan. “Boss Jiang—” he started. “I’ll take it from here. Go question some of the other patrons” a voice instructed as a tall man with light skin, brown eyes, and shoulder-length wavy black hair walked over to them. The young officer looked at the man before he nodded and headed off to question some of the other restaurant patrons while the man, Chief Jin Dacheng, looked at Jiang Yuelou. “Look, Jiang Yuelou, I know you’re worried about Dr. Chen, and I am too but you gotta answer my questions so we can catch the son of a bitch who tried to kill your husband” he stated. Jiang Yuelou shook his head. “He didn’t try to kill Yuzhi” he murmured. Jin Dacheng raised an eyebrow. “Come again?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou huffed as he looked over at him. “He didn’t try to kill Chen Yuzhi, he tried to kill me” he growled. Jin Dacheng frowned. “I don’t…I don’t understand” he stated. Jiang Yuelou sighed. “The waiter brought out the wrong order and Yuzhi wasn’t going to have them change it so I switched his meal with mine because I knew he would eat what I had ordered. He only took a bite before he started coughing until at one point, he coughed up blood. That’s when he collapsed out of his chair and that’s when the ambulance was called” he explained. Jin Dacheng frowned. “Okay…do you have any idea who would want you dead?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou just shot him a look, making him laugh slightly. “Right, sorry, dumb question. Force of habit” he apologized. Jiang Yuelou hummed as Jin Dacheng crossed his arms. “Well, I’ll see what I can do, see what I can find. Why don’t you go be with Dr. Chen?” he suggested. Jiang Yuelou looked at him with wide eyes before he nodded. “Okay” he agreed as a thought hit him. “I’ll probably have Song Rong and Sun Yongren investigate—” he started when Jin Dacheng waved his hand. “Don’t worry about the investigation. Just leave it to me and your boys. Go be with your husband” he instructed. Jiang Yuelou blinked as Jin Dacheng huffed and gave him a little shove. “Go!” he exclaimed. Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened before he nodded and quickly turned, heading towards his car, pulling his phone out as he walked away. He then dialed a number before placing the phone to his ear. “Song Rong, you and Yongren head to the restaurant where Yuzhi and I were supposed to have dinner. Chief Jin will explain everything once you get there” he ordered before he hung up and got into his car, turning on the engine before speeding to the hospital. ~*~*~*~*~*~ When Jiang Yuelou arrived at the hospital, he rushed over to the nurse’s desk, looking at one of the nurses with wide eyes. “Dr. Chen Yuzhi. Where is he?” he demanded. “He’s still in the emergency room. The doctor will see you when he finished” the nurse answered. Jiang Yuelou nodded before he walked over to one of the chairs and sat down, placing his head in his hands. About an hour or so later, a doctor walked over to him and stopped before him. “Boss Jiang?” he murmured, making Jiang Yuelou look up at him and quickly shoot to his feet. “How is he?” he breathed. The doctor smiled kindly. “We were able to successfully pump his stomach but unfortunately, the poison was fast acting and he’s still in critical condition. We don’t know when he’s going to wake up. We currently have him on fluids to try and flush whatever remaining poison is in his system out” he stated. Jiang Yuelou nodded. “Can I see him?” he asked. The doctor nodded. “Follow me” he murmured before he turned and walked away, Jiang Yuelou on his heels. They then headed over to a nearby hospital room, which the doctor motioned to. “He’s inside” he stated before he turned and walked away, leaving Jiang Yuelou standing alone outside. Jiang Yuelou then took a shuddering breath before he slowly slid open the door and stepped inside, his eyes immediately going to the hospital bed, where Chen Yuzhi was laying, hooked up to different machines with an IV drip in his arm. At the sight of his husband’s pale body, Jiang Yuelou let out another shuddering breath before he slowly walked over and sat down at his bedside, reaching out to take his hand in his. “Don’t worry Yuzhi…I’ll find the man that did this to you…I promise” he murmured. ~*~*~*~*~*~ Back at the restaurant, Song Rong and Sun Yongren, Jiang Yuelou’s most trusted subordinates, walked over to Jin Dacheng and raised an eyebrow. “Boss told us you’d tell us what’s going on?” Song Rong stated. Jin Dacheng nodded as he held out two police badges. “Put these on first” he instructed. Song Rong and Sun Yongren looked at the badges in surprise before they reached out and took them, slipping them over their heads as Jin Dacheng sighed. “Dr. Chen was poisoned and is currently in the hospital. Your boss is with him now” he stated. Song Rong and Sun Yongren’s eyes widened. “Poisoned? What do you mean, poisoned?” Sun Yongren exclaimed. Jin Dacheng sighed again. “Someone was trying to poison Jiang Yuelou, but Chen Yuzhi ate the poisoned meal instead because the restaurant got his dinner order wrong, so Jiang Yuelou switched their meals” he explained. “Bastards” Song Rong snarled. Jin Dacheng hummed. “Indeed. Now, let me ask you this…I know Jiang Yuelou has a lot of enemies…but is there anyone that you can think of that would seriously want him dead?” he asked. Sun Yongren tsked. “You’re gonna have to be a bit more specific, Chief Jin. All of our boss’s enemies want him dead” he stated. Jin Dacheng groaned. “Yes, I know that but is there anyone that you can think of that especially works with poisons? Or like…is good with poisons?” he asked. Song Rong and Sun Yongren hummed, just as one of the police officers walked over to them. “Chief Jin, we’ve bagged Boss Jiang and Dr. Chen’s dinner. We’re gonna send it to the lab” they stated. Jin Dacheng nodded. “Okay. Let me know what they find” he instructed. The officer nodded as Jin Dacheng looked at Song Rong and Sun Yongren. “Let’s go talk to the kitchen staff…see if they know anything” he stated. Song Rong and Sun Yongren nodded, following Jin Dacheng into the restaurant and to the back where the kitchen was located. When they stepped inside, the kitchen manager quickly walked over to them. “Chief Jin” he greeted. Jin Dacheng hummed. “Who was in charge of creating Boss Jiang and Dr. Chen’s food this evening?” he asked. The kitchen manager shook his head. “I unfortunately couldn’t tell you that. We were really busy tonight” he replied. Song Rong, Jin Dacheng, and Sun Yongren groaned as the manager looked at them. “But, we did have one of our regular chefs call out sick last minute and someone came to replace them” he stated. “Do you remember what they look like?” Song Rong asked. The kitchen manager shook his head. “No, but I do know that I’ve never seen them before” he replied. Sun Yongren huffed. “You never bothered to like…check his ID or anything?” he demanded. The kitchen manager shook his head. “No, I trust my chefs. And the others seemed to get along with him, so I didn’t think anything of it” he replied. Jin Dacheng let out a groan before he sighed. “Do you have CCTV that we could see?” he asked. The kitchen manager shook his head. “Not in the kitchen. But the manager probably has for the restaurant” he replied. Jin Dacheng nodded as he looked over at Song Rong and Sun Yongren. “I’ll get my boys to look at the footage” he assured. Song Rong and Sun Yongren nodded. “And we’ll go ask our boss if he knows anyone who’s good with poisons” Sun Yongren declared. Jin Dacheng shook his head. “No…don’t bother him. He’s got enough on his plate. We’ll only bother him once we have a suspect” he stated. Song Rong and Sun Yongren nodded as Jin Dacheng dipped his head to the kitchen manager. “Thank you” he thanked before he looked over at Song Rong and Sun Yongren. “I’m going to head back…you can…do whatever the hell you want. Just don’t take those badges off” he instructed, pointing to the police badges around their necks. Song Rong and Sun Yongren nodded. “Don’t worry, we won’t get you in trouble” Song Rong assured. Jin Dacheng smirked. “Appreciate that” he murmured before he slipped past them, heading back to the police bureau to check the CCTV footage. “You mind if we talk to some of your chefs?” Sun Yongren asked, looking at the kitchen manager. The kitchen manager shook his head. “No, go right ahead. If you’ll excuse me” he stated before he headed off, leaving Song Rong and Sun Yongren up to their own devices. They then stepped into the kitchen, where the chefs turned to look at them. “We already talked to the cops. Why do we need to talk to you?” one chef demanded. Song Rong then removed his police badge and stuck it in his pocket. “Because we’re not cops. You ever hear of the 天狗吃日?” he asked. All of the chefs’ eyes widened before they nodded. “Yeah, we’re a part of the 天狗吃日” Song Rong declared. The chefs gulped in fear and Sun Yongren shook his head. “We just want to ask you one question: your manager said that somebody filled in for one of you tonight…do you remember who that person was or what they looked like?” he asked. “He was tall” one of the chefs called out, making Song Rong and Sun Yongren turn towards him. “Anything else?” Song Rong asked. The chef shook his head. “He didn’t talk much. Just sort of…took the orders and made them” he explained. “Was he the one who made Boss Jiang and Dr. Chen’s meals?” Sun Yongren inquired. The chef nodded. “Yeah. I was going to make them, but he insisted that he be the one to make them and switched whatever orders he was working on with me so that he could take their orders and make them” he stated. “Can we see where he worked?” Song Rong asked. The chef nodded and motioned for Song Rong and Sun Yongren to follow him over to one of the stoves. “He worked here. This stove and the station behind you is his” he stated. Song Rong and Sun Yongren hummed as they studied the stove and station, searching for anything out of the ordinary when Song Rong’s phone rang, making him frown before he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone, swiping to answer before placing the phone to his ear. “Hello?” he answered. “Lab came back with the result of the food: only Jiang Yuelou’s dish was poisoned, not Chen Yuzhi’s” Jin Dacheng stated. Song Rong hummed. “So this was a hit on our boss…” he murmured. “Anything on your end?” Jin Dacheng asked. Song Rong hummed again before he looked over at Sun Yongren, who was holding up a small vial with some small white powder clinging to the glass. “We might have found something…if we bring it to you, can you test it for us?” he asked. “Probably. Bring it by and the lab will see what it can do” Jin Dacheng answered. “Okay” Song Rong agreed before he hung up and looked at Sun Yongren. “Hold onto that vial. We’re going to get it tested” he declared. Sun Yongren nodded and placed the vial into his jacket pocket as Song Rong looked at the chef. “Thank you for your help” he thanked. The chef nodded as Song Rong and Sun Yongren walked past him and headed out of the restaurant, heading towards their car before heading to the police station. ~*~*~*~*~*~ At the police station, Song Rong and Sun Yongren quickly slipped their badges back over their necks before they headed inside, where Jin Dacheng was waiting for them. “Follow me” he ordered. Song Rong and Sun Yongren nodded, following after Jin Dacheng as they headed to the police bureau’s lab, walking over to one of the scientists working. “Qian Ning” Jin Dacheng greeted, making the young scientist turn and look at him. “Chief Jin” he replied before he turned to look at Song Rong and Sun Yongren. “They are—” he started. “It doesn’t matter who they are right now. All we need you to do is test something for us” Jin Dacheng interrupted. Qian Ning nodded as Sun Yongren reached into his pocket and pulled out the vial with the white powder in it. “An identification test?” Qian Ning asked, glancing at Jin Dacheng. Jin Dacheng nodded. “Please” he replied. Qian Ning nodded before he took the vial from Sun Yongren and began extracting some of the powder from the vial as Jin Dacheng turned towards Song Rong and Sun Yongren. “Let’s talk outside” he suggested. Song Rong and Sun Yongren nodded as they followed Jin Dacheng out of the lab, Jin Dacheng sighing as he crossed his arms. “It might be a while before we get anything back” he stated. Sun Yongren hummed. “Well, I guess in the meantime we’ll update boss how it’s going” he mused, causing Jin Dacheng to shake his head. “You will do no such thing. We are to only contact Jiang Yuelou when we a) figure out exactly what poison was used to poison Chen Yuzhi and b) figure out who tried to poison him. Other than that, we will not bother him” he declared. Song Rong scoffed. “What makes you think we’re going to listen to you?” he demanded. Jin Dacheng glared at him. “Because Jiang Yuelou put me in charge. That’s why” he snapped. Song Rong and Sun Yongren frowned. “I thought you hated our boss’s guts” Sun Yongren stated. Jin Dacheng huffed. “I do…but I also don’t like seeing him so broken and scared” he murmured. Song Rong smirked. “So Chief Jin does care” he teased. Jin Dacheng rolled his eyes. “Oh fuck off” he grumbled as Song Rong raised an eyebrow. “Oh, by the way, did you ever get anything off the CCTV footage?” he asked. Jin Dacheng shook his head. “No…bastard did everything to make sure he kept his face down or away from cameras. We can’t seem to find any suspicious characters anywhere” he replied, just as Qian Ning poked his head out of the lab. “Chief Jin. I’ve got something” he called out, making Jin Dacheng, Song Rong, and Sun Yongren turn towards him before they quickly rushed into the lab. “What’d you get?” Jin Dacheng demanded. “So the powder in the vial’s arsenic. Same thing we found in Jiang Yuelou’s food” Qian Ning replied. Jin Dacheng frowned before he looked over at Song Rong and Sun Yongren. “Okay, I know this is going to sound like a very dumb question because I know so many of your enemies want Jiang Yuelou dead, but can you think of a single person who out of all your enemies would go to this length to try and kill him?” he asked. Sun Yongren and Song Rong hummed before Song Rong’s eyes widened. “Zhang Jie” he breathed. Jin Dacheng frowned. “Who the fuck is that?” he asked. Sun Yongren huffed. “He’s a smaller triad leader who’s been trying to encroach on our territory for the past I don’t know how many months” he explained as Song Rong nodded in agreement. “He’s probably the only person who’s ever tried to pick a fight with Jiang Yuelou on multiple occasions over territory, goods, whatever. Most triads know better. Zhang Jie still thinks he’s in the same league as our boss, and he’s not” he stated. Jin Dacheng hummed. “So we’re thinking Zhang Jie did the hit then?” he asked. Song Rong and Sun Yongren nodded. “It’s very fucking possible” Song Rong answered. Jin Dacheng frowned. “But what would he gain from doing this?” he asked. Sun Yongren shrugged. “Simple. You take Jiang Yuelou out of the equation; you gain his territory. Which is what every small triad wants” he explained. Jin Dacheng nodded slowly. “Okay, so let me get this straight: this Zhang Jie tried to poison Jiang Yuelou to take over his territory and instead ended up poisoning Chen Yuzhi by mistake…is that it?” he asked. Song Rong and Sun Yongren nodded. “Sounds about right” Song Rong answered. “And because Zhang Jie fucked up, the minute Jiang Yuelou finds out he’s going to go on a fucking murderous warpath?” Jin Dacheng continued. “Also sounds about right” Sun Yongren agreed. Jin Dacheng sighed heavily. “Welp. Guess it’s inevitable” he murmured as he pulled out his phone and dialed a number. “Who are you calling?” Song Rong asked. Jin Dacheng gave him a look. “Who else?” he replied. ~*~*~*~*~*~ At the hospital, Jiang Yuelou was still sitting by Chen Yuzhi’s side, holding his hand and patiently waiting for him to wake up, when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He frowned and quickly reached into his pocket before he pulled out his phone and swiped right on the screen to answer, placing his phone to his ear. “Jiang” he answered. “We figured out who tried to kill you” Jin Dacheng declared. Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened. “Who?” he demanded. “Hang on a minute” Jin Dacheng ordered. Jiang Yuelou raised an eyebrow, just as a throat cleared on the other line. “Boss, we think that Zhang Jie was the one who tried to kill you” Song Rong stated. Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened even further before they narrowed. “Zhang Jie? Are you sure?” he demanded. “Well, we found arsenic in your food and a small bottle of arsenic at the station where your food was cooked…and Zhang Jie is the only person who’s been trying for the past couple of months to fight you for your territory…it only makes sense” Sun Yongren explained. Jiang Yuelou let out a low growl as Jin Dacheng sighed over the phone. “Whatever you’re planning on doing, leave me out of it. I’m not playing clean up so keep the bloodshed to a minimum…or at least within a contained area” he ordered. Jiang Yuelou chuckled. “Don’t worry Chief Jin, I won’t be needing your assistance in this” he assured. “Good luck” Jin Dacheng bid before he hung up. Jiang Yuelou then placed his phone back in his pocket as he looked over at Chen Yuzhi, who was still unconscious in his hospital bed and smiled softly. “Don’t worry, Yuzhi. I’m going to take care of the bastard who tried to hurt you” he promised before he stood to his feet, pulling his gun out of its holster and checking the magazine to make sure that it was full before he put it back and slipped out of the room. As he walked away from Chen Yuzhi’s hospital room, a tall man with light skin, brown eyes, and short black hair walked over to him, making him stop in surprise. “Zhan-xiong. What are you doing here?” he asked, looking at the man, Zhan Junbai, leader of Jinma Hall. Zhan Junbai smiled. “I came to watch over Dr. Chen. Your subordinates called and told me what you were going to do, and I figured the least I could do was keep your husband safe” he replied. Jiang Yuelou frowned. “But why? The hospital staff will keep him safe” he argued. Zhan Junbai scoffed. “Do you really believe that?” he asked, raising an eyebrow. Jiang Yuelou was quiet before he looked at him. “Thank you” he murmured. Zhan Junbai smiled and dipped his head before he reached behind him and pulled a gun out of his waistband, handing it to Jiang Yuelou. “Just in case” he murmured. Jiang Yuelou smiled as he took the gun and slipped it into his waistband before he walked past Zhan Junbai, heading out of the hospital, while Zhan Junbai headed towards Chen Yuzhi’s hospital room. ~*~*~*~*~*~ After leaving the hospital, Jiang Yuelou got in his car and drove to Zhang Jie’s mansion, parking his car outside before he got out and stormed over to the front doors, kicking them down. The minute he stepped inside, Zhang Jie’s men looked at him with wide eyes. “Boss Jiang! But you’re—” one of the men started when Jiang Yuelou pulled out his gun and fired a shot, hitting the man between the eyes. At the sight of their fallen brother, the rest of the men began scrambling for their guns but Jiang Yuelou just slowly and calmly made his way through the mansion, mowing everyone in his path down. Once he had taken care of Zhang Jie’s men, he slowly made his way upstairs to Zhang Jie’s office, where he knew the man would be. He then pushed open the door, Zhang Jie looking up at him with wide eyes. “Jiang Yuelou? But you should be dead!” he exclaimed. Jiang Yuelou smirked. “Well clearly I’m not” he replied before he fired a single shot, hitting Zhang Jie between the eyes, watching as Zhang Jie collapsed onto his desk, blood pooling around his head like a grotesque halo. “But you certainly are” he sneered. He then turned and headed out of the room, quietly closing the doors behind him as he headed downstairs and out of the mansion, also closing the doors as he left. After he had singlehandedly eliminated the triad, Jiang Yuelou pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed Jin Dacheng’s number, placing his phone to his ear. “I take it the triad’s gone?” Jin Dacheng asked as soon as he answered. Jiang Yuelou chuckled. “You know me” he replied. Jin Dacheng sighed. “I do…please just tell me the carnage stayed inside the house this time…” he begged. Jiang Yuelou chuckled again. “I made your job easy for you, Chief Jin, don’t worry” he assured. “Yeah, I’ll believe it when I see it for myself. Now get out of there before someone sees you” Jin Dacheng ordered. Jiang Yuelou hummed. “Yes Chief Jin” he replied before he hung up and placed his phone in his pocket, walking away from the mansion and over to his car, leaving a trial of carnage in his wake. ~*~*~*~*~*~ After leaving Zhang Jie’s mansion, Jiang Yuelou headed back to the hospital, parking his car before he headed inside, heading back to Chen Yuzhi’s room. He then slid open the door, making Zhan Junbai, who was sitting at Chen Yuzhi’s bedside, look up at him and smile. “I take it it went well?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou hummed. “How is he?” he replied. Zhan Junbai sighed. “Doctor came by…said nothing changed. So we’ll just have to wait and see” he answered. Jiang Yuelou let out a shuddering breath and nodded as Zhan Junbai stood to his feet and walked over to him, reaching out to give his shoulder a gentle squeeze. “You need anything, you let me know” he murmured. Jiang Yuelou nodded before he pulled out Zhan Junbai’s gun, handing it back to him. “Thanks” he whispered. Zhan Junbai smiled and took the gun, slipping it into his waistband before he gave Jiang Yuelou’s shoulder another squeeze and slipped out of the room. Once he was gone, Jiang Yuelou walked over to the chair Zhan Junbai vacated and sat down, reaching out to take Chen Yuzhi’s hand again. “Wake up, my love…please wake up” he whispered. ~*~*~*~*~*~ When Chen Yuzhi finally awoke the next morning, he blinked blearily, trying to rid the sleep and unconsciousness from his eyes before he frowned. ‘Where am I?’ he thought to himself before he realized that he was wearing an oxygen mask, making him frown as he slowly reached up and carefully removed it the mask from his face. He then began to look around before he noticed someone to the right of him, making him look over to Jiang Yuelou sitting in the chair next to his bed, his hand clutching Chen Yuzhi’s in his sleep. He stared at his husband for a moment before he frowned. “Jiang Yuelou?” he whispered. Jiang Yuelou didn’t stir, making Chen Yuzhi smile softly before he reached out with his other hand and gently shook Jiang Yuelou’s shoulder, making Jiang Yuelou jolt awake. “Wha—” he started before he realized that Chen Yuzhi was smiling fondly up at him. “Yuzhi” he breathed, his eyes widening as he reached out, gently cupping his face his hand. Chen Yuzhi smiled as he leaned into Jiang Yuelou’s touch, Jiang Yuelou gently stroking his cheek. “You’re awake” he breathed. Chen Yuzhi hummed as he looked up at Jiang Yuelou, who had tears in his eyes. “I thought you weren’t going to make it” he croaked. Chen Yuzhi laughed weakly. “The King of Hell’s gonna have to try a lot harder to drag me away from you” he declared. Jiang Yuelou narrowed his eyes. “Don’t say that. He might actually try harder” he chided. Chen Yuzhi smiled and nodded. “Okay, okay” he agreed as Jiang Yuelou stroked his cheek again. They stayed like that for a while, Jiang Yuelou gently stroking Chen Yuzhi’s cheek as Chen Yuzhi leaned into his touch before Chen Yuzhi looked at Jiang Yuelou. “Did you get them?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean, my love?” he replied. Chen Yuzhi huffed. “Yuelou, I know you. You can’t lie to me” he declared, giving Jiang Yuelou a knowing look. Jiang Yuelou chuckled as he stroked his cheek. “Aiyo, you’re so cute when you’re all serious” he cooed. Chen Yuzhi huffed again. “Jiang Yuelou” he whined. Jiang Yuelou smiled as he leaned forward and pressed a kiss to his forehead. “Yes, yes, I took care of them” he assured as his eyes darkened. “They dare try to poison me…they should have known better” he snarled. Chen Yuzhi chuckled softly as he reached out and patted Jiang Yuelou’s hand. “Well, now they can’t try to hurt you ever again” he soothed. Jiang Yuelou then looked at him before he smiled and kissed him on the forehead again. “Or you” he declared. Chen Yuzhi smiled and hummed as Jiang Yuelou let out a soft sigh. “Get some rest, my love” he murmured. Chen Yuzhi huffed. “I felt like I’ve done nothing but rest” he grumbled. Jiang Yuelou gave him a look. “Yuzhi…just rest” he pleaded. Chen Yuzhi sighed. “Alright…but you still owe me a dinner” he declared. Jiang Yuelou laughed. “I will take you to the nicest restaurant in Jing City when you recover, my love, I promise” he assured. Chen Yuzhi hummed. “Maybe we’ll just get some wontons and stay home…I’d prefer to not end up in the hospital again” he stated. Jiang Yuelou hummed. “That sounds like a good idea” he agreed. Chen Yuzhi smiled before he shut his eyes and let out a soft sigh as he let sleep take him. Jiang Yuelou stared at him for a moment before he carefully removed his hand from his cheek and gently pet his hair. ‘Thank God you’re okay’ he thought to himself, a fond smile on his face as he watched him sleep. ~*~*~*~*~*~ A few nights later, after Chen Yuzhi was released from the hospital, he and Jiang Yuelou were sitting at a table at a wonton stand and as they were enjoying their wontons, Jiang Yuelou paused in his eating and opted to watch Chen Yuzhi eat instead. As he watched Chen Yuzhi eat, he couldn’t help but shake his head; he couldn’t believe that only a few nights ago he almost lost him. As he was eating, Chen Yuzhi felt eyes on him, causing him to look up to see Jiang Yuelou staring at him. “What?” he asked, raising an eyebrow. Jiang Yuelou smiled and shook his head. “Nothing. I’m just watching my husband” he replied. Chen Yuzhi chuffed and shook his head as he reached out and gently gave him a shove. “Shameless” he murmured. Jiang Yuelou grinned. “Maybe” he teased. Chen Yuzhi blushed as he motioned to Jiang Yuelou’s bowl. “Eat your wontons” he murmured. Jiang Yuelou chuckled. “Yes dear” he replied as he went back to eating his wontons, Chen Yuzhi smiling fondly as he went back to eating as well. After a while, Chen Yuzhi looked up at Jiang Yuelou and smiled. “Isn’t this better than some fancy restaurant?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou looked back at him and smiled. “I’m happy anywhere as long as you’re next to me” he replied. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened before he blushed deeply. “Jiang Yuelou” he murmured causing Jiang Yuelou to laugh. “Yes Yuzhi?” he asked, raising an eyebrow. Chen Yuzhi huffed. “You can’t just say stuff like that” he murmured. Jiang Yuelou raised an eyebrow and tilted his head. “Oh? And why’s that?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi stared at him, his cheeks flushed, and Jiang Yuelou just laughed. “You’re cute, Yuzhi” he teased. Chen Yuzhi gave him a playful shove. “Stop that” he mumbled. Jiang Yuelou laughed again as Chen Yuzhi motioned to his wonton bowl. “Eat your damn wontons” he murmured. Jiang Yuelou nodded. “Yes Yuzhi” he agreed as he went back to eating his wontons again, Chen Yuzhi blushing furiously as he went back to eating as well. But Jiang Yuelou meant what he said, he would be happy anywhere as long as Chen Yuzhi remained by his side. And if someone tried to rip him away from him…it would end in carnage.

4: if you're up for some light (possibly offscreen) torture: yuzhi having to rescue and/or treat Yuelou after he was kidnapped and tortured by a rival gang (another opportunity for feral!yuzhi)

Did someone say feral!Chen Yuzhi? Because uh...this is feral!Chen Yuzhi. This prompt also gave me an excuse to write Chen Yuzhi wielding a katana and you have no idea how long I've been waiting to write that so thank you for this prompt, Billie, it was excellent to write.

Chen Yuzhi didn’t like violence. He didn’t understand how people could hurt other people and he didn’t understand why they would do it. But then again, Chen Yuzhi was a doctor and his job was to heal people, so hurting and killing people went against everything he stood for. His husband, Jiang Yuelou, had a different view on violence, but Jiang Yuelou was from a different world than Chen Yuzhi so of course their views would be different.

~*~*~*~*~*~

It was a quiet morning as Chen Yuzhi was walking down the cobblestone road, a soft smile on his face as he headed towards his clinic. Once he reached his clinic, he reached into his pocket and pulled out his keys, unlocking the padlock on the chains that held his clinic doors closed. After unlocking the padlock, he unlocked the doors to his clinic but as he was pushing the doors open, a figure in a black leather jacket, white dress shirt, brown suit vest, black pants, and black boots pushed past him and plopped down on his desk, a small smirk on his face. Chen Yuzhi blinked, stunned, before he looked up at whoever just pushed past him into his clinic. “Excuse me, you can’t just—" he started when realized who was sitting on his desk and smiled. “Yuelou” he greeted. The man sitting on his desk, his husband and triad leader of the 天狗吃日, Jiang Yuelou, smiled. “Hey sweetheart” he replied. Chen Yuzhi then stepped into his clinic and walked over to him, placing his doctor’s bag down on his desk before he looked at Jiang Yuelou with a raised eyebrow. “I thought you had some early morning business to take care of” he stated. Jiang Yuelou smiled as he reached out and placed his hands on Chen Yuzhi’s hips, causing Chen Yuzhi’s cheeks to heat up with a slight blush. “I do, but I came to spend some time with you this morning” he replied as he pulled Chen Yuzhi closer so that he was standing between his legs, smiling up at his husband, who just huffed fondly before smiling. “Did you now?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou nodded as he maneuvered Chen Yuzhi so that he was sitting down on his lap, making Chen Yuzhi blush even more. “Jiang Yuelou…” he murmured. Jiang Yuelou just smiled as he leaned forward, his face getting close to Chen Yuzhi’s. “Yes Yuzhi?” he purred. Chen Yuzhi huffed and gently knocked his forehead against Jiang Yuelou’s as he wrapped his arms around Jiang Yuelou’s neck. “You’re lucky I don’t have patients this early in the morning” he whispered. Jiang Yuelou smiled devilishly as he pressed a kiss to Chen Yuzhi’s jawline. “I know. That’s why I came now” he replied. Chen Yuzhi huffed and rolled his eyes fondly but said nothing as Jiang Yuelou gently caressed his side, the two men just enjoying their morning time together. They stayed like that for a while, Chen Yuzhi sitting on Jiang Yuelou’s lap, his arms wrapped around Jiang Yuelou’s neck as Jiang Yuelou held his young doctor close, gently stroking his thumb up and down Chen Yuzhi’s side. After a while, Chen Yuzhi leaned forward and pressed a kiss to Jiang Yuelou’s forehead. “You’re going to be late” he murmured. Jiang Yuelou sighed and gave him a tight squeeze, pressing a kiss to his jawline again before he released him, allowing him to stand up before he stood up as well. “Try not to get hurt today, please?” Chen Yuzhi asked as he looked at his husband, who just smiled. “No promises, my love” he replied. Chen Yuzhi rolled his eyes and huffed as he placed his hands on his hips, giving him a look. “Okay and when you come home covered in cuts and bruises and Keying bursts out crying, you’ll explain to her what happened right?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou winced; Chen Yuzhi liked to pull the “Keying” card and damn it it wasn’t an effective dissuader to getting hurt whenever he went out to “take care of business” with other triads. “Fine” he grumbled, causing Chen Yuzhi to smile brightly. “Good” he replied as he stepped forward and pressed a kiss to Jiang Yuelou’s lips. “Be safe” he bid. Jiang Yuelou smiled. “I will” he replied as he leaned forward and pressed a kiss to to Chen Yuzhi’s forehead before he slipped past him and headed out of the clinic. Chen Yuzhi watched him walk away before he smiled and walked around his desk, getting ready to start his day.

~*~*~*~*~*~

About mid-day, after Chen Yuzhi had finished with a patient, he headed downstairs and looked towards the clinic doors, frowning slightly. ‘Whatever business he had to do must be taking longer than he expected’ he thought to himself before he turned and placed the patient’s file back on its shelf where it belonged before he walked over to his many drawers full of medicine and took out a few roots and herbs that he was going to grind so that he could make a new blend of medicinal tea. He then walked over to his work bench and placed the herbs and roots into his mortar before he began to grind it up with the pestle, glancing over every now and then at his clinic doors, waiting for Jiang Yuelou to walk in. It’s not that he didn’t trust his husband or that he wasn’t worried about him (he was always worried about him, it just came with his job and with being his husband), he just thought that it was weird that he wasn’t back yet as he normally joined Chen Yuzhi for lunch. But he had to trust Jiang Yuelou and trust that he knew what he was doing and that he was being safe, so he just took a deep breath and went back to grinding the roots and herbs, trying not to let his brain wander and imagine the worse.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Later on that evening, as Chen Yuzhi was closing up his clinic, he continued to look towards the clinic doors, hoping that Jiang Yuelou would walk through them. ‘Where is he?’ he thought to himself. He knew that whatever business Jiang Yuelou had to take care of, it should have been done with by now as it was late and Keying was waiting for them at home. He then sighed heavily and grabbed his doctor’s bag as he headed towards the door of his clinic, shutting off the lights before he stepped out and locked the doors behind him. Once the doors were locked, he looked around hopefully, hoping that Jiang Yuelou was possibly waiting for him, but he didn’t see any figures leaning up against any phone booths or walls or other food stalls, making his heart sink. He let out a soft sigh before he walked away from the clinic and began the walk home, suddenly feeling small and lonely as he hadn’t done this walk home alone in a long time since he had gotten married to Jiang Yuelou. As he headed home, he looked up at the moon, a small frown on his face. “Where are you? Come home” he whispered.

~*~*~*~*~*~

When he returned home, he opened the door and stepped inside, barely taking his shoes off before his little sister Keying barreled into him, wrapping her arms around him in a tight hug. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened before he laughed and gently pet her head. “What’s with the aggressive greeting today?” he asked. Keying smiled as she looked up at him. “I just thought you could use a good squeeze” she replied. Chen Yuzhi blinked, thinking about how he was feeling earlier today as well as on the walk home, before he smiled and returned the hug, giving Keying a tight squeeze back. Keying blinked in surprise but accepted the hug nonetheless because she liked hugs and hugs were nice. When they pulled away, Keying noticed that only Chen Yuzhi had come home and not Jiang Yuelou. “Hey, where’s gege?” she asked, looking up at Chen Yuzhi. Chen Yuzhi paused before he sighed. “I guess he had to work late today” he replied. Keying pouted. “Oh…” she murmured. Chen Yuzhi smiled and gently pet her head. “Don’t worry, Yuelou is going to be fine. I’m sure he’s safe and besides, he has Uncle Song and Uncle Sun watching out for him. They won’t let anything bad happen to him” he assured. Keying looked up at her, worry all over her face and in her eyes. “Are you sure?” she asked. Chen Yuzhi smiled and knelt down before her so that he was at eye-level with her and gently stroked her cheek. “Have I ever lied to you before?” he asked. Keying shook her head and Chen Yuzhi smiled a little wider. “Then I wouldn’t lie to you now” he declared. Keying nodded as Chen Yuzhi stood up and smiled. “Shall we go make dinner?” he asked. Keying nodded, her face brightening immediately. “Let’s make dumplings! That’ll really surprise gege when he comes home” she explained. Chen Yuzhi smiled fondly. “I’m sure he’ll love that” he replied. Keying grinned happily as she skipped towards the kitchen, Chen Yuzhi following behind. As he headed towards the kitchen, he threw one last look towards the door, hoping that Jiang Yuelou would enter at any moment, but he never did so he sighed and continued to follow after Keying into the kitchen.

~*~*~*~*~*~

After they had made and eaten dinner, Chen Yuzhi sent Keying off to go take a bath while he cleaned up the kitchen, making sure to store some food on the side for Jiang Yuelou when he came home but considering what time it was and by the fact that he wasn’t home already, Chen Yuzhi was pretty sure that Jiang Yuelou wasn’t come tonight (and not in that way). He then sighed heavily before he headed out of the kitchen and walked into Keying’s room, smiling softly at her peaceful sleeping face. He then walked over to her bed and tucked the blanket up to her chin before sitting on the edge of the bed, reaching out to gently pet her hair. He stayed there for a while, just gently petting her hair and listening to the soft sound of her breathing before he sighed and pushed himself to his feet, leaning down and pressing a kiss to her hair. “Sleep well Keying” he whispered before he turned and walked out of her room and headed into his room, heading over to the on-suite bathroom. He then quickly showered and dried himself off before changing into his pajamas and climbing into bed. He laid in bed for a while, just staring up at the ceiling. He knew he was tired; he could feel his body ache and his eyes burn, but he just couldn’t fall asleep. The bed felt too big, the house felt too quiet even with Keying in it, everything just felt…wrong. “Jiang Yuelou, where are you?” he whispered as he turned on his side and shut his eyes, hoping to maybe get some sleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Chen Yuzhi, did in fact, not get any sleep last night, he was too worried about Jiang Yuelou. His patients, of course, noticed that he seemed exhausted, if the circles under his eyes weren’t evident enough. However, he pushed through his exhaustion and made sure to treat his patients like he wasn’t exhausted and running on probably thirty minutes of sleep. About mid-day as Chen Yuzhi was just finishing with one of his last patients before going on his lunch break, two men, a tall man with light tan skin, brown eyes, and black hair styled in an undercut and a bald man of average height with light tan skin and brown eyes came running in, their eyes wide and full of fear as they supported a very bloody and tortured man in between them. “Dr. Chen! Dr. Chen!” the bald man exclaimed. “In a minute” Chen Yuzhi replied tiredly. He then finished looking over the patient before he smiled and nodded. “You’re all set” he declared. The patient smiled and dipped their head as they stood up, quickly turning and heading out of the clinic as Chen Yuzhi slowly lifted his head and blinked tiredly. “Now how can I—” he started when he noticed the men standing in his clinic. “Song Rong? Sun Yongren? What—” he started when he noticed the man that they were supporting in between them. “JIANG YUELOU?!” he exclaimed, shooting out of his seat and running over to them. He then reached out and cupped his husband’s face in his hands, looking at him with horror in his eyes before he looked at Song Rong and Sun Yongren. “Take him upstairs. Now!” he barked, fully awake now. Song Rong and Sun Yongren nodded and as soon as Chen Yuzhi let go of Jiang Yuelou’s face, they quickly (and carefully) rushed him upstairs to the second floor while Chen Yuzhi walked over to his clinic doors and shut them, placing a “closed” sign on the window before he turned and rushed upstairs, where Song Rong and Sun Yongren were carefully placing Jiang Yuelou on one of the clinic beds. He then walked over to the bed, tears filling his eyes as he stared at Jiang Yuelou, who looked like he had been badly tortured, as he had lashes all over his shirtless torso and arms. His face also looked as if it had been beaten rather badly, given his black eye and the multitude of bruises he could see forming. He stared at him for a good few moments before he let out a sob, tears streaming down his face, both out of relief that Jiang Yuelou was alive and out of sorrow that he had gotten hurt. He cried for a little while, Song Rong and Sun Yongren bowing their heads silently, before he took a deep breath and wiped his eyes. He then turned and headed downstairs, grabbing his doctor’s bag before heading back upstairs and walking over to Jiang Yuelou’s bed. He then sat down and opened his doctor’s bag, pulling out a pair of forceps, a bottle of iodine, and a small jar of cotton balls. “Wait downstairs” he ordered, his voice calm yet it had a deadly tone to it. Song Rong and Sun Yongren said nothing and quickly headed downstairs, leaving Chen Yuzhi and Jiang Yuelou alone. Once they were gone, Chen Yuzhi looked at Jiang Yuelou and felt tears come to his eyes again but he quickly pushed them down as he took a deep breath; tears wouldn’t save or heal his husband, only he could do that. He then stood up and walked over to the sink that was upstairs and grabbed the basin that was next to it, filling it with water before he took it and brought it back to Jiang Yuelou’s bedside, placing it on the bedside table. He then grabbed a towel from a nearby shelf and soaked it in the water, making sure to ring out the excess before he began to gently clean Jiang Yuelou’s body. He cleaned off the blood that had dried around the edges of the lashes as well on other parts of Jiang Yuelou’s torso, making sure to be very gentle and very careful so that he didn’t hurt his husband, even though he was pretty sure Jiang Yuelou was unconscious. After he had cleaned Jiang Yuelou’s body and patted it down, he opened the bottle of iodine and took his forceps, pinching a cotton ball with them before dipping the cotton ball in the iodine. He then carefully took the iodine and began gently dabbing it over the lashes. As the cotton ball became soaked with blood, he placed it in a metal tray that he had resting at the foot of the bed before taking a new ball and soaking it with iodine, repeating the process again. Once he had tried his best to treat the wounds, he carefully wrapped Jiang Yuelou’s torso and arms with bandages, making sure that the lashes were well protected so that they could heal well. After he had wrapped Jiang Yuelou’s torso and arms, he looked at Jiang Yuelou’s face, tears coming to his eyes before he took a deep breath. “I’ll find them. I’ll find them and make them pay” he whispered. He then stood to his feet and headed down the stairs, murder in his eyes as he headed over to Song Rong and Sun Yongren who bowed 90 degrees the moment they saw him. “We’re so sorry, Dr. Chen” they apologized. Chen Yuzhi said nothing before he took a deep breath. “Do you know who took him?” he asked, his voice still calm and deadly. Song Rong and Sun Yongren nodded. “Yes sir” they replied. “Who?” Chen Yuzhi demanded. “Lao Huo. He was the man Boss was doing business with yesterday” Song Rong answered. Chen Yuzhi hummed. “What does Lao Huo do?” he asked. “He’s an opium trader” Sun Yongren answered. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened as he looked at Sun Yongren. “Why would Yuelou want to do business with an opium trader? You know how Yuelou feels about opium” he stated. Sun Yongren shook his head. “It’s not Jiang Yuelou who wanted to do business with Lao Huo, it’s Lao Huo who wanted to do business with Jiang Yuelou, as Jiang Yuelou is one of two triad leaders who has control of the docks and Lao Huo can’t trade his opium if he doesn’t have access to the docks” he explained. Chen Yuzhi nodded slowly. “I see…do you know where I can find Lao Huo?” he asked. Song Rong and Sun Yongren shook their heads. “No sir” they replied. Chen Yuzhi huffed before he turned towards the clinic doors, causing Song Rong and Sun Yongren to look at him in confusion. “Sir, where are you going?” Song Rong asked. “If you can’t help me, I’m going to find someone who can” Chen Yuzhi snapped as he threw open the clinic doors and stormed out, leaving Song Rong and Sun Yongren a little terrified.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Chen Yuzhi then took a rickshaw over to a large mansion, knocking on the front door. The door soon opened and a servant answered. “Dr. Chen. What can I do for you?” the servant, Qiu Ming, greeted. “Is Zhan Junbai in?” Chen Yuzhi asked. Qiu Ming nodded and stepped aside as he motioned inside. “Come in” he instructed. Chen Yuzhi dipped his head and stepped inside as Qiu Ming shut the doors behind him. “I’ll get the Executive” he declared, walking past Chen Yuzhi to go find his boss. Chen Yuzhi said nothing and instead stood silently, patiently waiting for Qiu Ming to find Zhan Junbai. “Dr. Chen. What a surprise” a voice called out, making Chen Yuzhi look up to see a tall man with light skin, brown eyes, and short black hair dressed in a maroon three-piece suit walking down the stairs. “Zhan Junbai” he replied. The man, Zhan Junbai, smiled slightly as he walked over to him, his hands in his pockets. “It’s rare for you to visit me, especially by yourself. Where’s your guard dog of a husband?” he teased, raising an eyebrow. “Laying in one of my clinic beds, unconscious, beaten and tortured” Chen Yuzhi snapped, not in the mood for Zhan Junbai’s teasing. Zhan Junbai faltered, his eyes widening slightly. “What?” he whispered. Chen Yuzhi nodded. “He was tortured and I need to know where I can find Lao Huo and make him pay” he snarled. Zhan Junbai raised an eyebrow before he chuckled softly. “I’ve never seen you like this before, Dr. Chen” he murmured. Chen Yuzhi glared at him and Zhan Junbai noticed a rage in his eyes that he hadn’t seen in him before. “Are you going to help me or not?” he growled. Zhan Junbai chuckled and held up a calming hand. “Of course I’ll help you, Dr. Chen. I’m just a little shocked, that’s all. You’re not normally a violent person so this is a little surprising for me” he explained. Chen Yuzhi huffed. “I’m normally not, but when it comes to Jiang Yuelou, all bets are off” he replied. Zhan Junbai hummed. “I can see that” he replied before he held up a finger. “Give me a moment” he stated as he turned, walking over to one of the many dressers that were in the living room and opened one of the drawers, pulling out a large address book. He then flipped through it before he smiled and hummed, supposedly finding what he was looking for as he walked over to Chen Yuzhi, holding out the address book. “I believe this is the place that you’re looking for” he declared. Chen Yuzhi looked at him with wide eyes before he took the address book and looked at it as Zhan Junbai pointed to an address. “This is where you can find Lao Huo” he stated. Chen Yuzhi looked at the address before he looked at Zhan Junbai. “How did you get this? Not even Jiang Yuelou’s men know where he is” he stated. Zhan Junbai chuckled. “I have eyes and ears all over this city, Dr. Chen. If I need to know where someone is, I’ll find them” he replied. Chen Yuzhi blinked before he nodded. “I see…thank you” he thanked. Zhan Junbai nodded. “Of course. Do you need any assistance?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi shook his head. “No…no, I’ll take care of it myself” he answered. Zhan Junbai nodded as he quickly took the address book back, copied down the address on a piece of paper, and then handed the piece of paper to Chen Yuzhi. “Make sure you get him, Dr. Chen” he ordered. Chen Yuzhi looked at him before he smiled, almost wickedly. “Oh don’t worry, Executive, he’s not getting out of this alive” he replied. Zhan Junbai chuckled. “I don’t doubt that” he mused. Chen Yuzhi dipped his head to him, clutching the piece of paper tightly in his hand before he turned and walked out of the mansion, Zhan Junbai watching him with a small, thoughtful smile on his face. ‘So he’s not just some meek and mild-mannered doctor…interesting’ he thought to himself.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Chen Yuzhi soon returned to his clinic, where Song Rong and Sun Yongren had been standing guard, both men looking at him in surprise. “Were you able to find where Lao Huo was?” Sun Yongren asked. Chen Yuzhi nodded mutely and handed Song Rong the piece of paper Zhan Junbai gave him, Sun Yongren looking over Song Rong’s shoulder to look at the paper. “Song Rong, I want you to take me there. Yongren, I want you to pick up Keying from school and take her home. She’ll probably ask questions so just tell her that Jiang Yuelou and I have to work late so you came to pick her up” Chen Yuzhi ordered. Sun Yongren nodded as Song Rong looked at him. “But Dr. Chen…you don’t have a weapon…and we know how much you don’t like using guns” he stated. Chen Yuzhi smiled and raised an eyebrow. “Who said anything about using a gun?” he asked. Song Rong and Sun Yongren frowned, looking at one another as Chen Yuzhi walked over to his large wall of drawers, where his Chinese and Western medicine were stored, and grabbed a nearby step stool, placing it in front of the drawers. He then stepped up onto the stool and reached out, grabbing a curved sheathed blade off its stand before stepping down off the stool. Once he was on the ground, he unsheathed the blade and checked it before he sheathed it and turned to look at Song Rong and Sun Yongren, who were looking at him with wide eyes. “Dr. Chen, you…you own a sword?” Sun Yongren asked. Chen Yuzhi smiled as he unsheathed the curved blade and held it up for Sun Yongren and Song Rong to see. “It’s a Japanese sword known as a katana” he replied. Song Rong and Sun Yongren looked at him in confusion. “And…you know how to use it?” Song Rong asked. Chen Yuzhi looked at him before he laughed softly, darkly. “Of course I do. I spent some time in Japan studying their ways of treating medicine and a friend of mine decided to learn how to wield the blade, so I decided to learn as well. I wouldn’t own such a sword if I didn’t know how to use it” he replied. Song Rong nodded slowly before he sighed. “Well, I guess we should get going” he declared. Chen Yuzhi nodded and sheathed the katana before he looked over at Sun Yongren. “You know what to do” he instructed. Sun Yongren nodded and quickly headed off while Chen Yuzhi looked at Song Rong. “Let’s go” he ordered. Song Rong nodded and both men stepped out of Chen Yuzhi’s clinic, Chen Yuzhi shutting and locking his clinic behind him before he and Song Rong headed over to the car that he and Sun Yongren drove over in.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Soon Chen Yuzhi and Song Rong arrived at the address that Zhan Junbai had given Chen Yuzhi, Chen Yuzhi stepping out of the car, Song Rong quickly following after him. “Song Rong, you can just stay here. I won’t be long” Chen Yuzhi declared. Song Rong’s eyes widened and he looked at him like he had grown a second head. “But Dr. Chen, they have guns! You have…well, a sword” he explained. Chen Yuzhi looked over at him and smiled, causing a chill to run down his spine; this Chen Yuzhi didn’t feel like the normal gentle Chen Yuzhi that he was used to knowing…this Chen Yuzhi was much darker, unhinged and all around…scary. “I’ll be fine, Song Rong” Chen Yuzhi, causing Song Rong to gulp before he nodded. Chen Yuzhi smiled and unsheathed his katana, holding out the scabbard to Song Rong, who blinked in surprise before he stepped forward and took the sheath before watching Chen Yuzhi continue into the hideout. “I really hope he knows what he’s doing…” he murmured.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Chen Yuzhi quietly slipped into the hideout, looking around for Lao Huo’s men, surprised to not find any in the first room. ‘They must be in the back then’ he mused as he quietly continued through the house, checking every room before he walked over to a set of double doors that seemed to lead to the back room. He then pushed open the door, causing all the men in the room to look up at him. “Who the fuck are you? What do you want?” one of the men demanded. “You shouldn’t have touched my husband” Chen Yuzhi growled. Another one of the men looked at him, frowning. “Your husband? Who’s your—” he started before his eyes widened. “Jiang Yuelou?! That’s your husband?! Don’t make me laugh! That man is so pathetic—” he started but before he could finish his sentence, Chen Yuzhi rushed forward, running the man through with his sword. The man let out a choked gasp as Chen Yuzhi looked at him with murder in his eyes. “You shouldn’t have touched my husband because now you have to deal with me” he snarled as he pulled the katana out of the man’s torso, watching with disgust as he fell to the floor, blood pooling around him. He then turned to look at the other men, who were looking at him with wide eyes, and smiled slightly. “Who’s next?” he asked. The men looked at each other before they rushed at him, but he just calming raised his blade before rushing forward, slicing one man in the chest before spinning around and slicing another man across the throat. Blood sprayed on his face and suit, but he frankly didn’t care as he looked at the last man. “Where is Lao Huo?” he demanded, pointing his katana at him. The man gulped and took a fearful step back, causing Chen Yuzhi to sigh. “If you tell me where he is, I might just let you live” he bargained. The man looked at him before he sighed. “He’s upstairs, second door” he answered. Chen Yuzhi nodded. “Is he alone?” he asked. The man nodded. “Yes” he answered. Chen Yuzhi nodded again. “Good” he murmured as he lowered his katana and walked past the man, heading for the door when the man whipped out his gun, however Chen Yuzhi knew what was coming and quickly spun around, slicing the man’s throat, watching as he fell to the ground, blood pooling around him. “I said you might, not you will” he murmured before he turned and walked out of the room, leaving the carnage behind him. “No one’s leaving this place alive…not if I can help it” he growled. He then continued towards the stairs that led to the third floor and walked up them, immediately heading for the second door and pushing it open. Inside sat a man smoking a cigar and when he heard the door open, he just lazily raised his head and raised an eyebrow at a very bloody Chen Yuzhi. “Mm…I take it you took care of my men downstairs?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi smiled darkly. “Indeed” he replied. The man looked at him before he laughed softly. “And I take it you’ve come to kill me?” he inquired. Chen Yuzhi huffed. “Obviously” he replied. The man hummed before he slowly stood to his feet, snuffing out his cigar in a crystal ashtray before slowly walking towards Chen Yuzhi, only to stop when he felt the tip of Chen Yuzhi’s katana pressing against his stomach. “One more step and I’ll slice you open like a cadaver” he warned. The man smirked. “Feisty thing, aren’t you? Don’t you know who I am, boy?” he spat. Chen Yuzhi grinned, his smile slightly tainted by blood. “Oh, I know who you are. You’re Lao Huo, opium trader and the man who beat and tortured my husband” he snarled. The man, Lao Huo, looked at him before he laughed. “You? You’re Jiang Yuelou’s husband?” he sneered, only to have his laugh cut short as Chen Yuzhi jabbed at his stomach, reminding him that there was a literal sword pressing into his stomach and the man holding it was two seconds away from slicing him open like a cadaver. “I am” Chen Yuzhi snarled. Lao Huo hummed before he looked at Chen Yuzhi. “And what, exactly, are you doing here?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi huffed. “To relay a message” he answered. Lao Huo raised an eyebrow. “And what message is that?” he asked, not even slightly concerned or scared of Chen Yuzhi, who was literally covered in blood and pressing a fucking katana to his stomach. Chen Yuzhi then smiled as he stabbed the katana into Lao Huo’s stomach, Lao Huo’s eyes widening in shock. “Jiang Yuelou sends his regards” Chen Yuzhi whispered as he took a step back, listening to the squelch of Lao Huo’s body slipping off his blade and collapsing to the floor. “Y-You…who are you?” Lao Huo croaked, looking up at Chen Yuzhi with dying eyes. Chen Yuzhi raised an eyebrow as he stepped forward and raised his katana over his head before stabbing it down into Lao Huo’s heart. “Me? I’m just the Doctor” he whispered. He then yanked his katana from Lao Huo’s dead body and took a step back, Lao Huo’s blood dripping from his blade. “Now you can’t hurt anyone ever again” he snarled. He stared at Lao Huo’s dead body for a moment more before he turned and headed out of the room, his thirst for blood and revenge quenched.

~*~*~*~*~*~

When he finally came out of Lao Huo’s hideout and walked over to Song Rong and the car, Song Rong nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw what Chen Yuzhi looked like. “Dr. Chen?! You…are you—” he started, not sure what to ask or where to look. Chen Yuzhi laughed and waved a hand. “I’m fine…just a little dirty” he replied. Song Rong’s eyes widened. “A little?! Dr. Chen, you’re covered in blood!” he exclaimed. Chen Yuzhi shrugged. “None of its mine, so” he replied. Song Rong stared at him for a moment, shocked, before he shook his head and quickly held out the scabbard to him. Chen Yuzhi blinked before he smiled and took the scabbard, sheathing his blade before sighing. “Shall we head back to the clinic?” he asked. Song Rong frowned. “Wouldn’t you like to go home and you know…shower?” he replied. Chen Yuzhi shook his head. “Keying’s home. If she sees me covered in blood, she’ll freak out” he explained. Song Rong nodded slowly. “I…I suppose that makes sense” he murmured. Chen Yuzhi smiled and waved his hand. “Don’t worry, I’ll clean up at the clinic” he replied. Song Rong nodded again before he walked over to the car and opened the passenger door, allowing Chen Yuzhi to get in before he walked over to the driver’s side and opened his door, slipping in and shutting the door behind him as he started the car before driving back to the clinic.

~*~*~*~*~*~

When they returned to the clinic, Chen Yuzhi quickly slipped out and unlocked his clinic before heading inside, careful to make sure no one saw him. Song Rong quickly followed after him, watching as he headed over to the sink and began washing his hands and face, careful to make sure that he had cleaned all the blood off. He then unsheathed his katana and carefully ran water over the blade, making sure to wash way any of the blood. “Song Rong” he called out, causing Song Rong to snap to attention and look over at him. “Yes?” he replied. Chen Yuzhi pointed to the multitude of drawers and smiled slightly. “Can you go to the first column on the right, third drawer down from the top and pull out a small wooden box, please?” he asked. Song Rong blinked before he nodded and walked over to the drawer Chen Yuzhi told him about and opened it, finding a small wooden box inside. He then pulled it out and turned, looking at Chen Yuzhi, who had walked back over to his desk and placed his katana down on a few towels, patting it dry. After he had pat it dry, he held out his hand to Song Rong, whose eyes widened before he handed over the box, which Chen Yuzhi opened, pulling out a small piece of sword cleaning paper. He then picked up his katana by the hilt before taking the piece of paper and carefully wiped the blade down with it, making sure to pinch the paper so that it cleaned the groove carved into the side of the blade. Once he cleaned the blade with the paper, he picked up a silk ball on a stick containing fine stone powder and lightly tapped it a few times against both sides of the blade every 2-4 cms and the back, non-sharp edge, to leave a light film of polishing stone powder. After applying the stone powder, he took a new small piece of sword cleaning paper and rubbed the powder gently into the blade on both sides, making sure to do one clean sweep from hit to tip. After rubbing the powder into the blade, he took a third piece of sword cleaning paper and used that to remove any remaining stone dust from both sides of the blade. He then checked the blade for rust before he took a small pipette and dipped it into the sword oil, dropping a few drops onto either side of the blade before taking a fourth piece of sword cleaning paper, carefully and evenly wiping the oil onto either side of the blade. He then placed that piece of paper down before picking up a new piece, using that piece to wipe away the excess oil, leaving only a thin film of oil evenly covering the blade. After cleaning the blade, he inspected it to make sure that it was properly cleaned and oiled before he carefully placed the blade down and picked up the scabbard. He then took a clean, soft dry cloth and wiped the outside down before he walked over to his umbrella stand and took out a thin piece of steel, holding it up to the light. He hummed at it and nodded before he walked back over to his desk and grabbed a fine cotton cloth, wrapping it around the piece of steel before shoving the piece of steel down into the scabbard, making sure that the cloth soaked up all the blood that the blade might have left inside. Once the scabbard was properly cleaned, Chen Yuzhi took his katana and carefully sheathed it before walking back to his wall of drawers, grabbing the stepping stool and placing it in front of the drawers. He then stepped onto the stool and placed the blade back onto its stand, making sure that its hilt was facing the left, as that symbolized peace. Once the blade was properly back in its place, he stepped down off the stool and turned to face Song Rong, who was looking at him with wide eyes. “You…you certainly know how to take care of a blade, Dr. Chen” he murmured. Chen Yuzhi laughed softly as he cleaned up his desk, placing all of his katana cleaning tools back into its box and throwing away the dirty sword cleaning papers before walking back to his wall of drawers and placing the box back in its proper drawer. “I told you, I wouldn’t own this blade if I didn’t know how to use it or take care of it” he stated. He then looked at Song Rong and smiled. “I’m going to go check on Jiang Yuelou. Thank you for your assistance” he thanked, dipping his head to him. Song Rong’s eyes widened and he bowed back, watching as Chen Yuzhi headed up the stairs to the second floor, a shudder running down his spine. “I have never been more scared of this man in my entire life than this very moment” he murmured.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Upstairs, Chen Yuzhi walked over to Jiang Yuelou’s bed and looked at his husband, smiling softly. “I took care of him, Yuelou…he can’t hurt anyone ever again” he whispered. He then reached out and began undoing Jiang Yuelou’s bandages, making sure to be gentle as he undid them. Once he had undid the bandages, he carefully and gently cleaned Jiang Yuelou’s lashes again before he bandaged his arms and torso once more. After he had cleaned and re-bandaged Jiang Yuelou’s arms and torso, he sat down beside his husband and took a deep breath, reaching out and taking Jiang Yuelou’s hand, gently stroking the back of it hand with his thumb. He sat in silence for a while, continuing to stroke the back of Jiang Yuelou’s hand, when there was a soft noise from the bed, making Chen Yuzhi look up to see Jiang Yuelou smiling weakly at him. “You smell like death, my love” he croaked. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened and he quickly stood to his feet, reaching out to gently cup Jiang Yuelou’s face in his hand. “Yuelou…you’re awake” he breathed. Jiang Yuelou smiled a little wider. “So I am…care to tell me why you’re covered in blood?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi looked down at his practically ruined at this point suit and huffed as he removed his hand from Jiang Yuelou’s face. “Just took care of some business” he replied. Jiang Yuelou hummed and nodded as he reached out this time and gently stroked Chen Yuzhi’s cheek. “While I think that’s incredibly sexy of you, Yuzhi, violence doesn’t really suit you” he murmured. Chen Yuzhi shook his head. “That man hurt you! Was I just supposed to sit on the sidelines and let him get away with what he had done?!” he roared. Jiang Yuelou sighed and gently stroked Chen Yuzhi’s cheek again. “No, but I know how much you don’t like violence” he replied, his voice soft and soothing. Chen Yuzhi looked at him before he sat down in the chair again, letting out a heavy sigh as Jiang Yuelou’s hand fell from his face. “You’re right, I don’t like violence. I find it cruel and unnecessary when there’s no purpose behind it. Senseless killings and things of that nature I hate. But I could not justify letting that man continue to walk this Earth after what he had done to you” he murmured. Jiang Yuelou hummed. “Well, thank you. I know you went against your morals to do this” he thanked. Chen Yuzhi looked at him and smiled weakly. “When it comes to you, all morals goes out the window” he replied. Jiang Yuelou laughed softly and gave his hand a squeeze. “While I appreciate what you’ve, let’s not do this again” he suggested. Chen Yuzhi narrowed his eyes. “If you hadn’t gotten hurt, I wouldn’t have to resort to such violence” he reminded. Jiang Yuelou huffed. “How was I supposed to know that he was going to jump me? It’s not like I can predict these things” he grumbled. Chen Yuzhi blinked before he softened and gave Jiang Yuelou’s hand a squeeze. “I’m sorry…I was just so worried about you” he murmured. Jiang Yuelou chuckled as he slipped his hand out of Chen Yuzhi’s and reached up, cupping Chen Yuzhi’s face in his hand. “Obviously, considering you’re covered in blood” he mused before he frowned. “Shouldn’t you change? I’m sure being covered in someone else’s blood mustn’t feel very good” he stated. Chen Yuzhi opened his mouth to answer when thunderous footsteps came running through the clinic and up the stairs, making Chen Yuzhi turn and Jiang Yuelou look to see Keying standing at the top of the stairs, panting heavily as she stared at the two men with wide eyes. She looked them over, Jiang Yuelou laid up in the clinic bed with bandages covering his torso and arms, his face covered in bruises, and Chen Yuzhi in blood stained clothes, and promptly burst into tears. Chen Yuzhi and Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened as Chen Yuzhi quickly got up and walked over to her, kneeling down and cupping her face in his hands. “Shh, shh, it’s okay, it’s okay, Keying” he soothed. Keying let out a wail before she threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly, causing his eyes to widen. He wanted to scold her and tell her to let go because he was dirty and covered in blood but he stopped himself and just sighed, wrapping his arms around his little sister, hugging her tight. “We’re okay, Keying. We’re okay” he soothed, gently rubbing her back. “But but, you’re covering in blood!” Keying wailed. Chen Yuzhi laughed softly and pulled back so that he was looking Keying in the eyes. “It’s not my blood, sweetheart” he soothed, gently wiping the tears away from her eyes with the pad of his thumb. Keying blinked as she sniffled before she looked over at Jiang Yuelou. “What about gege? What happened to him?” she whimpered. Chen Yuzhi looked over at Jiang Yuelou and huffed fondly as he stood up, taking Keying’s hand as they both walked over to the clinic bed. “Gege unfortunately got hurt by a very bad man. Didn’t you, Yuelou?” he asked, looking at Jiang Yuelou. Jiang Yuelou huffed and nodded. “I did” he replied. Keying let out a whimper and looked like she was going to cry again but Jiang Yuelou quickly reached out and gently cupped her face in his hand, stroking her cheek. “Shh, shh, don’t cry. Your brother took care of that bad man, which is why he’s covered in blood” he explained. Keying blinked before she turned to look at Chen Yuzhi, who was looking down at her fondly. “You did? But you don’t like violence” she stated. Chen Yuzhi laughed softly. “You’re right, I don’t. But there are times where violence is called for or necessary and this was one of those times” he replied. Keying nodded slowly before she looked back at Jiang Yuelou. “Are you going to be okay, gege?” she asked. Jiang Yuelou laughed softly. “With your brother by my side, I’ll be back to normal in no time” he assured. Keying grinned and Chen Yuzhi chuckled fondly. Like I said before, Chen Yuzhi didn’t like violence. To him, violence was never the answer to any problem, but in the case of Jiang Yuelou, violence was absolutely the answer and he would chose the same answer if he had to do it again. Jiang Yuelou was important to him, he was his husband after all, and if anyone messed with his family well…let’s just say that it would not end well for them.

And, finally, prompt 7: yuzhi was kidnapped and drugged by a rival gang; yuelou has to save him then deal with his high ass and that bs (the drugs should be either like a truth serum or a hallucinogen, something that would have him either tripping balls or being overly honest)

HOT FUCKING DAMN, I APOLOGIZE THAT THIS TOOK ME SO DAMN LONG! I KNOW IT'S BEEN SITTING IN MY ASKBOX FOR PROBABLY OVER A MONTH (OR MORE) BUT I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO WRITING IT! I REALLY HOPE YOU LIKE IT AND THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN FOR SENDING ME ALL THE LOVELY MAFIA PROMPTS, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED WRITING THEM!

Jiang Yuelou’s day could literally not get any worse. First, he had a raid that went absolutely shit; more of his men got hurt than the men of the triad he was fighting against and second, when he returned from said raid, he was told by one of his men that the doctor that he was seeing, Dr. Chen Yuzhi, had been kidnapped. When he was told that, he nearly lost his shit. “Why was nobody WATCHING HIM?!” he roared, glaring at his men who cowered before him. One of his men, Sun Yongren, looked at him nervously. “Boss…you know how Dr. Chen feels about having us hang around his clinic” he murmured as another one of Jiang Yuelou’s men, Song Rong, nodded. “Yeah, he says he feels like—” he continued. “We scare away his patients, I know, I know” Jiang Yuelou growled, interrupting him. He then took a deep breath before he looked at his men. “So, none of you were around his clinic? At all?” he asked. The men shook their heads. “Because Dr. Chen knows what we look like, even in plain clothes, he’ll still tell us to go away because he doesn’t need our protection” Song Rong explained. Jiang Yuelou let out a low growl and pinched the bridge of his nose. “Damn it, Yuzhi” he murmured. He was proud that Chen Yuzhi could recognize his men and go to them if there was anything he ever needed (because Jiang Yuelou specifically told him that they were at his disposal) but he was also irritated that he would blow them off when Jiang Yuelou specifically put them there for protection. He then looked at his men again. “So no one saw anything? Nothing at all?” he demanded. The men shook their heads again before Sun Yongren stepped forward. “I can go ask some of the food stall owners if they saw anything” he offered as Song Rong stepped forward as well. “I can ask some of the street urchins if they saw something” he added. Jiang Yuelou waved his hand. “Go. See if they know anything” he ordered, Song Rong and Sun Yongren moving as soon as Jiang Yuelou gave the “go ahead”. Jiang Yuelou then looked at the rest of his men. “I want you to search Jing City up and down. Search every back alley, every abandoned building, everywhere. I want Chen Yuzhi found” he snarled. The men nodded before they ran out of the hideout, leaving Jiang Yuelou alone. He then took a deep breath before he sighed. “Guess I should go see a person too” he murmured, grabbing his leather jacket before he headed out.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile, in an abandoned cabin out in the middle of bumbfuck nowhere, Chen Yuzhi was tied to a wooden chair with a bag over his head. The bag was then removed, causing Chen Yuzhi to squint at the sudden sunlight that was streaming into the cabin before he looked around, realizing where he was at. “What the hell?” he murmured. “Ah, Dr. Chen you’re awake. Good, good” a voice purred, making Chen Yuzhi look up to see a man stepping out of the shadows from the corner of the room. Chen Yuzhi frowned at him; he didn’t recognize the man and frankly had no idea who he was. “Who are you? What am I doing here?” he demanded. The man laughed. “Why else would you be here? You’re bait” he explained. Chen Yuzhi frowned. “Bait?” he repeated, only to have the man slap him across the face. “For someone so smart, you’re so stupid, Dr. Chen” the man hissed as Chen Yuzhi squeezed his eyes shut in pain. The man then huffed. “You’re Jiang Yuelou’s lover, are you not?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi paused before he looked up at the man. “I—” he started when the man laughed. “You don’t have to say anything, Dr. Chen, I already know! I’ve been watching you for a while and you are very much so in love with Jiang Yuelou” he declared. Chen Yuzhi blushed as the man cackled. “Which is perfect for me, and do you know why?” he purred as he looked at Chen Yuzhi, who was now frowning at him. “Why?” he asked. The man cackled again. “Because you, my beloved little doctor, are going to be the one to kill Jiang Yuelou” he declared. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes and before he could say anything, the man suddenly surged forward and gagged him before throwing the bag back over his head. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened at the sudden darkness before flinching as the man patted his shoulder, his fingers digging into it with a vice-like grip. “All in good time, little doctor. We just have to wait for Jiang Yuelou to find you…then the real fun can begin” he purred.

~*~*~*~*~*~

While Song Rong, Sun Yongren, and the rest of Jiang Yuelou’s men were off searching for witnesses to Chen Yuzhi’s kidnapping, Jiang Yuelou headed to an old friend of his, one of the most powerful triad leaders in Jing City, Zhan Junbai. When he walked over the man’s mansion, he walked over to the door and knocked, a servant soon answering the door. “Master Jiang. What can I do for you?” the servant, Qiu Ming, greeted. “I’m here to see Executive Zhan” Jiang Yuelou answered. Qiu Ming nodded and stepped aside as he motioned inside. “Come in” he instructed. Jiang Yuelou dipped his head and stepped inside as Qiu Ming shut the doors behind him. “I’ll get the Executive” he declared, walking past Zhan Junbai to go find his boss. Jiang Yuelou said nothing as he crossed his arms and tapped his foot, impatiently waiting for Zhan Junbai. “Jiang-xiong” a voice called out, making Jiang Yuelou look up to see a tall man with light skin, brown eyes, and short black hair dressed in a maroon three-piece suit walking down the stairs. “Zhan-xiong” he replied as the man, Zhan Junbai, walked over to him and smirked. “It’s rare for you to visit me…you normally don’t come to me unless you want something” he mused. Jiang Yuelou snarled. “I don’t really have time for your games today, Zhan-xiong” he hissed. Zhan Junbai raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Somebody’s a little angry today. What happened? Raid go badly? I told you not to mess with the Leun Fei Ying” he stated. Jiang Yuelou glared at him. “Cut the crap” he spat. Zhan Junbai’s playfulness fell away immediately, and a frown entered his face; Jiang Yuelou normally put up with his teasing for a little bit before he got angry but today…today something was off. “What happened?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou gritted his teeth and clenched his hands into fists as he looked at him. “Yuzhi was taken” he growled. Zhan Junbai looked at him in surprise. “Your doctor? The one you’ve been seeing?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou glared. “Who else?” he hissed. Zhan Junbai raised his hands in apology. “Sorry, sorry” he apologized before he frowned. “Taken? What do you mean, taken? Don’t you have people watching him? It’s you” he stated. Jiang Yuelou sighed heavily. “I would, except Yuzhi doesn’t like having people surrounding his clinic, even if it’s for protection, because he’s afraid they’re going to scare away his patients as most of his patients are either women, children, or the elderly” he explained. Zhan Junbai nodded slowly. “I see” he murmured as he crossed his arms. “So why come see me?” he asked, raising an eyebrow. Jiang Yuelou sighed. “You have eyes and ears all over this city…maybe you would know someone who took Chen Yuzhi” he explained. Zhan Junbai tsked. “Unfortunately, Jiang-xiong, while I do have the numbers…I wouldn’t know who to ask” he explained. Jiang Yuelou looked at him before he pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to calm himself down from completely losing his shit. “Now now, no need to lose your head, I’m not saying I won’t help you” Zhan Junbai chided as a small smile graced his face. Jiang Yuelou lowered his hand from his nose and looked at him in confusion. “What are you saying?” he asked. Zhan Junbai chuckled. “Well, let’s think about this…what triad leader hates your guts more than anything and would like to see you suffer as much as possible?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou was quiet before he snarled. “Feng Cai” he spat. Zhan Junbai smirked and motioned to him. “And there you go. He’s probably the one who took your precious little doctor” he mused. Jiang Yuelou narrowed his eyes. “Watch your mouth” he growled. Zhan Junbai laughed. “Alright, alright, no need to get snippy” he soothed. Jiang Yuelou then sighed. “Do you have any idea where he might have taken Yuzhi?” he asked, looking at the taller man. Zhan Junbai hummed before he shook his head. “That I don’t think I can help you with. But maybe when you return, your men will have found something” he mused. Jiang Yuelou nodded. “Maybe…” he murmured before he looked at Zhan Junbai. “Thank you, Zhan-xiong” he thanked. Zhan Junbai smiled. “Anytime” he replied. Jiang Yuelou then turned and headed towards the door as Zhan Junbai smiled. “You should bring him over some time” he called out, making Jiang Yuelou stop and turn back towards him. “What?” he asked. Zhan Junbai smiled. “I want to meet this doctor and see why you love him so much” he explained. Jiang Yuelou tsked and rolled his eyes. “Not on your life” he replied, a small smile on his face as he turned back and continued towards the entrance, Zhan Junbai laughing softly to himself.

~*~*~*~*~*~

When Jiang Yuelou returned to his own hideout, Sun Yongren and Song Rong were waiting for him. “Well? Did you find anything?” Jiang Yuelou demanded. Song Rong nodded. “One of the children said that there were two men who came into Dr. Chen’s clinic and dragged him out when the streets were the most crowded, so no one noticed anything out of the ordinary” he explained. Jiang Yuelou frowned. “Yuzhi didn’t make any noise? He didn’t call for help or anything?” he asked. Sun Yongren frowned. “One of the shop owners thought they might have seen a glint of a gun pointed at the doctor’s back, but they’re not sure” he answered. Jiang Yuelou growled. “That would make sense…they would threaten him with a gun to keep silent…” he murmured. Sun Yongren and Song Rong then looked at him. “Did you figure anything out, Boss?” Song Rong asked. Jiang Yuelou nodded. “Feng Cai is the one who kidnapped Yuzhi” he declared. Sun Yongren and Song Rong’s eyes widened. “Feng Cai?! That fucking bastard” Sun Yongren snarled as Song Rong looked at Jiang Yuelou. “What are we going to do, Boss?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou huffed. “Find Yuzhi, of course” he replied before he looked at Song Rong. “Did the children see the men lead Yuzhi to a car or anything?” he asked. Song Rong hummed, thinking about it before he nodded. “I think so” he replied as Sun Yongren nodded. “One of the shop owners definitely saw him get into a black car” he stated. Jiang Yuelou nodded. “Okay, so he got into a car…did they see where the car went?” he asked. “It went out of town” a voice called out, making Jiang Yuelou, Song Rong, and Sun Yongren turn to see a tall man with light skin, brown eyes, and long wavy black hair walking towards them. “Chief Jin” Jiang Yuelou greeted, raising an eyebrow in surprise. The man, Jin Dacheng, smirked and dipped his head. “Boss Jiang” he replied. Song Rong then frowned. “What are you doing here?” he demanded. Jin Dacheng shrugged. “Well, I was there when Dr. Chen got kidnapped. I watched it happen” he explained. Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened as he stormed over to Jin Dacheng and grabbed him by the front of his uniform. “You watched Yuzhi get kidnapped AND DID NOTHING TO STOP IT?!” he roared. Jin Dacheng huffed and looked down at Jiang Yuelou. “How could I? The man had a gun to your doctor’s back and the street was crowded. Either way, someone would get hurt, probably your doctor” he stated. Jiang Yuelou growled as he glared at Jin Dacheng before giving him a shove, causing him to stumble backwards. “If you have nothing else to say, leave” he ordered. Jin Dacheng gave him a look. “You really think I came all this way just to tell you that I saw him get taken? Honestly, Boss Jiang, how stupid do you think I am?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou gave him a look in return. “Do you really want me to answer that?” he replied. Jin Dacheng glared at him before he sighed. “I followed the car” he declared. Jiang Yuelou, Song Rong, and Sun Yongren all looked at him with wide eyes. “You what?” Sun Yongren exclaimed. Jin Dacheng nodded. “I followed the car out of the city. They drove out into the middle of nowhere to a little abandoned and rundown cabin. I’m sure Dr. Chen’s being held there” he explained. Jiang Yuelou looked at him before he narrowed his eyes. “How do I know I can trust you? You’re a cop” he snarled. Jin Dacheng sighed exasperatedly. “And I’m your best bet to find Dr. Chen. Take it or leave it” he stated. Jiang Yuelou looked at him before he sighed heavily. “Fine. Will you take me to find Yuzhi?” he asked. Jin Dacheng smiled. “I’d be happy to. Car’s this way” he stated, motioning for Jiang Yuelou to follow him. Jiang Yuelou looked over his shoulder at Song Rong and Sun Yongren, both of whom were looking at him concerned, before he sighed and followed after Jin Dacheng, both men heading out of Jiang Yuelou’s hideout.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Jiang Yuelou and Jin Dacheng then got into Jin Dacheng’s car and drove away from Jiang Yuelou’s hideout, Jiang Yuelou checking his gun to make sure that it was fully loaded. “Are you going to need backup, Boss Jiang?” Jin Dacheng asked, glancing over at him. Jiang Yuelou looked back at him before he shook his head. “No…I don’t think so. I don’t know what Feng Cai might do to Yuzhi if I don’t come alone” he murmured. Jin Dacheng hummed, eyes on the road before he looked back at Jiang Yuelou. “You really love this doctor, don’t you?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened as he looked at Jin Dacheng. “What the hell makes you say that?” he asked. Jin Dacheng laughed. “Boss Jiang, we’ve been rivals for a while now, haven’t we?” he replied. Jiang Yuelou frowned. “I guess so” he replied. Jin Dacheng smiled. “And in all my years of knowing you, I’ve never seen you this worried for a person, not even for your own men. This doctor is something special to you, isn’t he?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou huffed. “None of your business” he grumbled. Jin Dacheng smiled and nodded. “Okay, okay. I won’t press” he assured before he hummed. “I think it’s a good thing” he mused. Jiang Yuelou looked over at him. “What is?” he asked. Jin Dacheng smiled. “That you found someone outside your…line of work, so to say. I’m sure he brightens up your dark and depressing life, right? That days seem just a little bit brighter at the thought of him?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou blinked before he huffed and looked away. “Fuck off” he murmured. Jin Dacheng chuckled but said nothing as he continued to drive through the countryside until they came upon the abandoned cabin. “You said Yuzhi was in here?” Jiang Yuelou asked, looking over at Jin Dacheng. Jin Dacheng nodded. “It’s the only one for miles…where else could he be?” he replied. Jiang Yuelou was quiet, causing Jin Dacheng to tsk before smacking him on the back of the head, making Jiang Yuelou look over at him with wide eyes. “Don’t go there, Boss Jiang. If he was already dead, you would have either received or found his body. You haven’t found nor received his body, right?” he asked. Jiang Yuelou nodded slowly. “Then I’m sure he’s fine. What Feng Cai really wants is you, not Dr. Chen. So he’s probably still alive and is probably in that cabin” Jin Dacheng declared. Jiang Yuelou looked at him before he huffed. “Stay here. Don’t come out unless you here a gunshot” he instructed. Jin Dacheng nodded as Jiang Yuelou got out of the car, gun in hand, and headed towards the cabin.

~*~*~*~*~*~

When Jiang Yuelou entered the cabin, he found it to be empty save for a person bound with ropes to a chair and a bag over their head. “Yuzhi” he breathed, quickly placing his gun in the back of his pants before running over to the person and kneeling down before them. He then reached out and yanked the bag off their head, revealing a gagged Chen Yuzhi, who flinched at the sudden sunlight. “Chen Yuzhi” Jiang Yuelou breathed, Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widening when he realized who was kneeling before him. Jiang Yuelou smiled before he reached up and unbound the gag from around his mouth, cupping his face in his hands. “Yuzhi. Yuzhi, are you alright?” he demanded. Chen Yuzhi looked at him with teary eyes and he shook his head. “Jiang Yuelou, you need to leave. Now” he ordered. Jiang Yuelou shook his head. “No. No, I’m not leaving without you” he growled as tears came to Chen Yuzhi’s eyes. “Jiang Yuelou, please. Go” he pleaded. Jiang Yuelou frowned, just a shadow stepped behind Chen Yuzhi and stabbed him in the neck with a needle, making Chen Yuzhi cry out in pain. Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened and he looked up to see Feng Cai smiling darkly at him. “Feng Cai” he snarled. Feng Cai laughed. “Jiang Yuelou. Welcome to your own funeral” he purred as Jiang Yuelou looked at Chen Yuzhi, whose face was contorted in pain as he struggled against the ropes. “What did you give him?” he demanded. Feng Cai shrugged. “Just a little concoction of mine…you know how I like to dabble” he replied, just as Chen Yuzhi’s eyes flew open and he glared at Jiang Yuelou, who looked back at him with wide eyes. “Yuzhi…” Jiang Yuelou started as Feng Cui sliced the bonds keeping Chen Yuzhi hostage before holding out the knife to Chen Yuzhi. “Here you go, little doctor. Kill him” he hissed. Chen Yuzhi then took the knife as he continued to look at Jiang Yuelou, who was looking at him with wide eyes. “Yuzhi—” he started when Chen Yuzhi launched himself at Jiang Yuelou, Jiang Yuelou diving out of the way as Chen Yuzhi stabbed the nearby windowsill. Jiang Yuelou then looked at him with fear in his eyes. “Chen Yuzhi, snap out of it!” he exclaimed but Chen Yuzhi just yanked the knife out of the wood and launched himself at Jiang Yuelou again, this time getting lucky in slashing the man’s arm. Jiang Yuelou let out a cry as Feng Cai cackled. “He can’t snap out of it, Jiang Yuelou! Not without the antidote!” he exclaimed. Jiang Yuelou looked over at him for a brief moment, just as Chen Yuzhi attacked him again, causing him to roll out of the way so he didn’t get stabbed or sliced again. “And do you have the antidote?” Jiang Yuelou demanded. Feng Cai cackled again. “Of course I do! But…you’re never going to find it” he stated, just as Chen Yuzhi, in his crazed state, tackled Jiang Yuelou and pinned him to the ground, knife raised to strike. “Because you’ll be dead!” Feng Cai shrieked. Jiang Yuelou barred his teeth at him before he looked up at Chen Yuzhi, who was bringing down the knife to strike him. “I’m sorry, Yuzhi” he whispered before he whacked Chen Yuzhi in the head, causing the young doctor to lose his balance and crash to the floor, the knife clattering out of his hand. Jiang Yuelou then reached behind him and pulled his gun out of his belt, pointing it at Feng Cai, whose eyes were wide in shock, before shifting his gun and firing it at the ceiling. Feng Cai blinked in surprise before he barked out a laugh. “I didn’t know you were such a shit shot, Boss Jiang” he sneered. Jiang Yuelou smiled. “I wasn’t aiming for you” he replied. Feng Cai frowned, just as Jin Dacheng arrived at the entrance of the cabin, pointing his gun at Feng Cai. “Don’t you fucking move” he snarled. Feng Cai’s eyes widened and he glared at Jiang Yuelou before he smirked at Jin Dacheng and suddenly bolted, making a run for the nearby boarded up window. “I said don’t move!” Jin Dacheng shouted, firing his gun at Feng Cai, but Feng Cai was bursting through the window, so the bullet whizzed right past him. “Son of a bitch” Jin Dacheng growled, about to take off after him when he paused and looked back at Jiang Yuelou. “Are you—” he started. “Catch that son of a bitch. I’ll be fine” Jiang Yuelou replied. Jin Dacheng nodded before he took off running after Feng Cai, leaving Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi alone in the cabin. Jiang Yuelou then looked at Chen Yuzhi, who was lying still on the floor, and frowned. “Yuzhi?” he called out, pushing himself to his feet before walking over to the young man, kneeling down before him. “Yuzhi?” he called again, reaching out to touch when Chen Yuzhi’s eyes suddenly shot open and he launched himself at Jiang Yuelou, his hand around Jiang Yuelou’s neck. He then tackled Jiang Yuelou to the ground, pinning him down before sending a good solid punch to his face, making Jiang Yuelou grunt before he covered his face so that Chen Yuzhi couldn’t hit him again. “Yuzhi! Snap out of it! I don’t want to hurt you!” he exclaimed. However, Chen Yuzhi just ignored him and went to punch him again, causing Jiang Yuelou to groan before he lashed out, hitting Chen Yuzhi square in the chest, making him go flying backwards. Jiang Yuelou then pushed himself to his feet, Chen Yuzhi doing the same. Both men looked at one another before Chen Yuzhi rushed forward and began throwing punches, causing Jiang Yuelou to quickly block them. Despite Chen Yuzhi not being a fighter like Jiang Yuelou, he was certainly doing a good job kicking Jiang Yuelou’s ass. They continued to fight each other, Chen Yuzhi mainly doing the attacking while Jiang Yuelou blocked and dodged, before Jiang Yuelou saw and opening and quickly chopped Chen Yuzhi on the neck, knocking him unconscious. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes fluttered and Jiang Yuelou quickly caught him, pulling the young doctor close. He then checked him over, making sure he wasn’t hurt, before he carried Chen Yuzhi over to the chair he had previously been tied up in and carefully set him down, tying him up once again just so that neither of them got hurt. Jiang Yuelou then began searching the cabin, looking for the antidote that Feng Cai was talking about. He searched the entire cabin, but couldn’t find anything, making him let out a growl. “Bastard must have had it on him” he snarled, just as the floorboards creaked, making him look up to see Jin Dacheng stepping into the cabin. “Where’s Feng Cai?” Jiang Yuelou asked. Jin Dacheng smiled. “Dead. Just like you would have wanted; bullet between the eyes” he replied. Jiang Yuelou smirked before he frowned. “Did you search the body? Did you find anything on him? Like a vial?” he asked. Jin Dacheng frowned before he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small vial. “Something like this?” he replied. Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened. “Yes, that!” he exclaimed before he let out a sigh of relief and pointed at the vial. “Hold onto that…we’re going to need it when we take Yuzhi to the hospital” he declared. Jin Dacheng nodded and stuck the vial back into his pocket as Jiang Yuelou walked over to an unconscious Chen Yuzhi and untied him, carefully scooping him into his arms before he looked at Jin Dacheng. “Let’s go” he ordered. Jin Dacheng nodded and stepped out of the cabin, heading back to the car as Jiang Yuelou followed after him, carrying Chen Yuzhi in his arms, the unconscious doctor’s head leaning against his chest. When they reached the car, Jin Dacheng opened the backseat, allowing Jiang Yuelou to place Chen Yuzhi carefully inside before sliding in after him. Jin Dacheng then shut the door before getting into the driver’s seat, turning on the car before heading back to Jing City. As he drove back, he looked in the rearview mirror at Jiang Yuelou and how he was holding Chen Yuzhi to him, pressing a kiss to the unconscious doctor’s hair. He then smiled slightly before he turned his attention back to the road, stepping on the gas so that they could get to the hospital in time before Chen Yuzhi woke up.

~*~*~*~*~*~

When Chen Yuzhi woke up hours later, he found himself in a hospital bed with an IV in his arm and Jiang Yuelou fast asleep in the chair beside his bed. He blinked a couple of times, just to make sure he wasn’t seeing things, before he hesitantly reached out and touched Jiang Yuelou’s knee. “J-Jiang Yuelou?” he whispered. Jiang Yuelou’s eyes snapped open in an instant the minute he heard his name and when he saw Chen Yuzhi looking at him with his big, clear, doe eyes, he couldn’t help but smile. “Yuzhi” he breathed, reaching out to cup the young man’s face. Chen Yuzhi leaned into Jiang Yuelou’s touch as Jiang Yuelou gently stroked his cheek. “How you feelin’?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi shook his head, only to hiss. “My head feels fuzzy…” he replied before he looked at Jiang Yuelou and realized that the man’s face was bruised and that his arm was slashed. “Jiang Yuelou, what happened?! Who did this to you?!” he exclaimed, looking up at Jiang Yuelou with wide eyes. Jiang Yuelou looked back at him before he looked away, causing Chen Yuzhi to frown. “Jiang Yuelou…what happened? Who hurt you?” he begged. Jiang Yuelou still said nothing before he sighed. “What do you remember?” he asked, finally looking back at him. Chen Yuzhi frowned. “What do I remember? The last thing I remember is begging you to leave and then a sudden pain in my neck…after that I can’t remember anything” he replied. Jiang Yuelou sighed as he removed his hand from Chen Yuzhi’s face and took his hand instead. “Yuzhi…you did this to me” he murmured. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened in horror. “What?! No, Yuelou, I would never—” he started when Jiang Yuelou shook his head. “You didn’t do it on purpose. The man who kidnapped you, Feng Cai, drugged you and caused you to try and kill me” he explained, gently stroking the back of Chen Yuzhi’s hand with his thumb. Chen Yuzhi looked at him, his eyes beginning to fill with tears before he let out a shuddering breath. “I’m sorry” he whispered. Jiang Yuelou’s eyes widened and he quickly stood up, causing Chen Yuzhi’s eyes to widen but instead of leaving, like Chen Yuzhi thought he would, Jiang Yuelou carefully sat him before sitting down where he had previously been laying, placing him down so that he was lying against Jiang Yuelou’s strong chest. Chen Yuzhi blinked in surprise as Jiang Yuelou wrapped his arms around him, holding him close. “Baby, you have nothing to apologize for. You did nothing wrong” he soothed. Chen Yuzhi blinked, feelings tears well up in his eyes again, before he shook his head. “But I…I hurt you. Jiang Yuelou, I hurt you” he whimpered. Jiang Yuelou just smiled and leaned down, pressing a kiss to his forehead. “Shhh, Yuzhi. I’ll heal” he soothed as he leaned back, grinning almost cheshirely. “Besides, since I’m hurt, it gives me more of an excuse to come see you” he declared. Chen Yuzhi huffed and shook his head, smiling softly. “Of course you would use your injuries as an excuse to come see me” he murmured. Jiang Yuelou raised an eyebrow as he gave him a squeeze. “What, does Dr. Chen not welcome me?” he teased. Chen Yuzhi blushed before he shook his head and looked up at Jiang Yuelou, smiling fondly. “No…Boss Jiang is always welcome” he replied. Jiang Yuelou smiled fondly in return as he leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to Chen Yuzhi’s lips, Chen Yuzhi smiling into the kiss. When they pulled away, both men were looking at each other lovingly before Jiang Yuelou reached up and began running his fingers through Chen Yuzhi’s hair. “Get some sleep, my love” he whispered. Chen Yuzhi nodded and settled against Jiang Yuelou, relaxing immediately, knowing that he would be safe in the triad leader’s arms. Jiang Yuelou chuckled fondly and continued to run his fingers through Chen Yuzhi’s hair, watching the young doctor sleep with a soft, fond smile on his lips. He could never be mad at Chen Yuzhi for hurting him, it wasn’t even his fault. He was under the control of Feng Cai’s drug, so he wouldn’t hold that against him. And like he said, because he was hurt, it would give him even more reason to visit the doctor than before. So, in the end, it was a win-win.

~*~*~*~*~*~

A few days later, after Chen Yuzhi was released from the hospital, he was in his clinic, changing the bandage on Jiang Yuelou’s knife wound when a tall man with light skin, brown eyes, and short black hair dressed in a maroon three-piece suit walked in. “So this is the famous Dr. Chen Yuzhi I’ve been hearing so much about” he mused as he walked over to Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi. Jiang Yuelou made a face while Chen Yuzhi looked at Zhan Junbai with a raised eyebrow. “And you are?” he asked. Zhan Junbai smiled. “A friend of Jiang Yuelou’s. Executive Zhan Junbai” he introduced. Chen Yuzhi smiled. “Nice to meet you” he replied before he turned his attention back to Jiang Yuelou’s knife wound while Jiang Yuelou glared daggers at Zhan Junbai. “Zhan-xiong, what are you doing here?” he hissed. Zhan Junbai chuckled. “I told you didn’t I? I said I wanted to meet the doctor and see why you love him so much” he replied. Chen Yuzhi’s eyes widened slightly and a blush came to his cheeks as he continued to clean and change Jiang Yuelou’s bandage while Jiang Yuelou glared, embarrassed. “Zhan-xiong!” he exclaimed. Zhan Junbai tsked. “What do you have to be embarrassed for?” he asked before he motioned to Chen Yuzhi. “He is the best thing that’s ever happened to you. And I would know! We practically grew up together” he declared before he pointed a finger at Jiang Yuelou. “Don’t fuck this up” he warned. He then looked at Chen Yuzhi, who was looking at him with wide eyes, and smiled. “It was wonderful to meet you, Dr. Chen. Maybe you can come over for tea sometime” he suggested. Chen Yuzhi blinked before he smiled slightly and nodded. “Sure” he replied. Zhan Junbai smiled. “Wonderful” he agreed as he shot Jiang Yuelou one final look. “Don’t fuck this up” he hissed before he turned and walked out of Chen Yuzhi’s clinic. Chen Yuzhi and Jiang Yuelou watched him leave before Jiang Yuelou sighed and looked over at Chen Yuzhi. “Sorry about that” he apologized. Chen Yuzhi smiled and shook his head. “It’s alright. He seems nice” he mused. Jiang Yuelou laughed softly. “He’s one of the most dangerous men in Jing City…I don’t really think “nice” is in his description, Yuzhi” he replied. Chen Yuzhi shrugged. “He seems nice to me. And he cares about you” he stated as he finished changing the bandage. Jiang Yuelou hummed. “For the longest time, before Song Rong and Sun Yongren came along, Zhan Junbai really was my only friend. He took me in, showed me the ropes, and helped me become the man I am today” he explained. Chen Yuzhi looked at him before he hummed. “Well then, whenever I go to have tea with him, I’ll make sure to thank him” he declared. Jiang Yuelou looked up and him and raised an eyebrow. “For what?” he asked. Chen Yuzhi smiled as he leaned forward, pressing a kiss to his hair. “For helping you become the man I love today” he replied. Jiang Yuelou looked at him with wide eyes before he smiled and pulled him in for a hug, holding him tightly. Chen Yuzhi smiled and melted into the hug, resting his chin on Jiang Yuelou’s shoulder as he let out a content sigh. Jiang Yuelou smiled even wider as he reached up and pet Chen Yuzhi’s hair, loving the way the soft strands ran through his fingers. Zhan Junbai was right, Chen Yuzhi was probably the best thing that ever happened him and he definitely wasn’t going to fuck it up and lose him. He almost lost him once…he wasn’t losing him again.
