Three people quietly got out of the dressing room and scattered into different directions.
A while ago, Fang Bai had quietly confessed about his history about his mother Zhuang Ling and all the nightmares he had with his friends. He decided to be brave for once and confess everything without overthinking.
He also had hesitantly hinted about the existence of Lei to his both best friends. But instead of taking him as a weird or delusional person with mental problems, their reaction was far from what he expected.
He still remembered, after finishing off the explanation about everything he had quietly looked down so as not to see the crazy look his friends would give to him.
But instead, he heard a "I believe you."
His shoulders shook and eyes widened as he looked up, seeing the genuine looks on his friends' faces of his two friends.
Tang Rong had a serious expression as he again repeated, "I believe in you."
Duan Wei had an excited expression as he looked at him, shooting with questions," Can you do magic? So you can heal yourself like superheroes? Can you read other people's minds?"
Fang Bai did not know how gratified he felt to have such friends. Today's experience gave him a new understanding of friendship.
At present, he quietly climbed up the stairs towards the right gate of the Heaven's Road.
Tang Rong and Duan Wei were at a safe difference, mixed in the crowd.
Fang Bai had changed into a clean white shirt and black pants and walked towards the drinks section. And as always, a masked man with the same build as him was standing in a hidden corner.
He was his usual substitute during the job.
The man greeted him with a bow and offered him a new mask of the same design. Fang Bai patted the man's shoulder and wore the mask, smirking while walking towards the bar.
Fang Bai himself didn't realize that while he walked, he became the centre of attraction of many present in the club. The aura he released had a tempting charm which others could never imitate. His smart and calm walk was like a beautiful scenery, immersing everyone in.
And when they snapped out of the reaction, they realized that the man was already standing at the bar.
Fang Bai quickly walked towards the bar and swiftly picked up the liqueur bottles and drinks-mixing cups on the counter. Like a free bird, he tossed and turned them while juggling three bottles and cups at the same time smoothly with very much ease.
He used his elbows, shoulders, heels, knees and presented a great show which attracted cheers from all sides.
All the time, his lips were attractively tilted in the corner.
He finally put the drinks creatively one by one into a mug and then swiftly shook it with a great skill, all this while, his each action looking like a beautiful show in the eyes of the viewer.
Then, he inverted the mixture prepared into a clean cocktail glass, his neatness exhibiting in each move, making the current customer on the counter feel extremely lucky to be the one receiving his cocktail. The drink was of an attractive azure colour, mixed with dark brown to create a strange but attractive mixture.
The two colours appeared in great harmony, seemingly made for each other.
Fang Bai looked into the drink he prepared, it was his favourite drink. Today, after so much happened, he suddenly had the impulse to make this one. It gave great relief to his eyes.
He did not mind giving the drink to the customer because the drink was just an inanimate object. There was no benefit in holding possessiveness for it. He just enjoyed its view which he had already done while preparing.
He simply shrugged off his extra thoughts and gave a smile to the woman who was all the while giving flirtation glances to him, skillfully deflecting her move. The woman had a regretful look.
There were some people too, who wanted to talk to the manager in order to send the attractive bartender to their bed. Some of them were powerful men and women, who often used their power to buy people to their beds. It was a normal thing for them.
The manager was sweating buckets from within. What do these people know? The person they are talking about is the big boss whom they actually fear.
'Ignorance is a bliss.'
He directly rejected all the people on the name of the Heaven's Road's boss who had set a rule about taking no such deals with his employees.
The experienced ones immediately understood that this man was protected under Heaven's Road's boss who could not be offended. They quietly left. But the ignorant ones who still wanted to create a ruckus and were hence directly blacklisted.
All this while, Fang Bai kept his focus on the work, as he wanted to simply do the job of making an appearance as a bartender for hiding his identity properly.
On the other hand, Duan Wei went towards the security department and conducted checks of the employees and handled tough customers who refused to follow the rules.
Tang Rong had also gone to the security department, but instead, his destination was the main surveillance office. He kept a regular check-up of the security in the club and at the same time, also handled some of the financial issues.
It was the normal work of Tang Rong and Duan Wei. But this time the difference was that they also knew about the dark side of Heaven's Road.
About 2 years ago, the three of them had secretly opened up this club under the persuasion of Fang Bai.
They had also agreed to keep it a secret because they know that Fang Junjie was equally protective towards all the three of them. He would never let them dabble in such dark areas. Instead, he would just take all the burden on himself and overwork.
Earlier, Tang Rong and Duan Wei had thought that Fang Bai knew someone very powerful because of which he could get dominance among the market and competitors, or because of which people were scared of the authority of Heaven's Road.
But it was today that they knew that the big shot was none other than Fang Bai himself. He did have some connections in the underground, but it was his own power because of which those friends respected him.
.
After the three made their appearance in the club, they returned back to their home together where Fang Junjie was already waiting for them.
On the way, they also shook off various trails sent by the men and women to track Fang Bai when he went out of the club.
Duan Wei and Tang Rong looked side-eyed at Fang Bai who quietly stuck out his tongue while driving.
Fang Bai very intelligently surrendered.
Well, it was the first time they knew their friend was so well sought after other than in the University.
Well, although all the three of them used to work in Heaven's Road, they also had works which were in different locations. Those jobs also befitted their student identity and helped them hide their usual activities.
And many times, Fang Bai also used to make different excuses deliberately so as to keep all his works hidden. But, now everything had been exposed to his friends. So he didn't need to deliberately hide and change paths.
.
After Fang Junjie had become capable of earning his own money, he had taken all three of them with him out of the orphanage, thus being their guardian.
Since then, they lived in a simple, luxurious flat which Fang Junjie had managed to buy from his first success in business. Well, he had also taken a loan which was paid easily in the following years.
As the three of them parked their cars in the underground parking, they walked towards the elevator. Fang Bai looked into the direction of the elevator and suddenly bypassed Tang Rong and Duan Wei, coming to the front.
The other two immediately understood the indication, but instead of being alert, they became more and more careless and started chatting with each other. They smirked into his direction, keeping arms on each other's shoulder.
The implication was clear. 'Great Fighter Tyson, you are responsible for protecting us.'
Fang Bai was speechless.
Soon, they entered the elevator which was big and spacious. Inside the elevator, were two men, who were laughing on some meme in their phone. As the three entered, the two men gave space to them with good manners.
"Here. Sir which floor are you two going to? We will be going to the sixteenth floor."
The elevator door closed.
"Oh, sixteen? But we also live on the sixteenth floor.
The two men froze. Then they noticed the smirk on the speaker's face and realized they were tricked. They immediately pointed their guns at them.
"Who told your brother to not listen to my boss? Now you all will die because of his mistake."
"Tsk tsk, two professional killers. Who has such hatred with my brother, I wonder?"
Fang Bai, Tang Rong and Duan Wei were still smirking.
Then Duan Wei said, "O great Boss, we are hungry. Just finish the matter and go."
The men then realized that they were being treated as air by those boys.
Never had they been insulted like this in their profession. People had been scared by them, cursed them, attacked them, cried and begged from them, but never had they laughed at them.
But, as they wanted to make a move, they felt their vision turn dark.
They died even before they could know. There was not a single drop of blood on the elevator.
Fang Bai triumphantly showed a blowing action on his fist as he looked at his two friends.
"Now quickly clean this up. You have to go home and cook for us for a week. Three times a day. This is your punishment."
Fang Bai sulked and called his men.
