His dark obsidian was glued to the small card in his hand. It was an identity card made by Chang Jianyu. He didn't know how his friend managed to prepare an ID card for him in just one night, but the thin card was in his hands now.
Not only that, but he also managed to use the card to book a plane ticket and also to verify his identity when checking in early. Now he was in the airport lounge, and his flight schedule was in 30 minutes.
Chang Jianyu also managed to give him a passport and visa in just one night, and he thought his friend had a secret talent to become a real criminal.
He didn't even know how the nerd could do that, but he was still grateful that Chang Jianyu had helped him so much so far.
The pair of obsidian-like eyes were still on the ID card, and he saw his name on the card.
["What name would you like to use on your ID card?" Chang Jianyu suddenly questioned him without looking at him.
The short man was busy with his old computer. The computer was old, but it was so powerful and so helpful for Chang Jianyu.
The Crow was still sitting on the couch in the living room, and he turned to his friend in his 'workroom.'
"I want to use my real name on my ID card."
Chang Jianyu was busy typing on the keyboard, but his movements suddenly stopped when he heard The Crow's answer. He knew The Crow's real name, but he didn't expect The Crow would use that name for his ID card.
Leaving the old computer behind, Chang Jianyu turned his body so that he could face The Crow again. "I thought you hated your real name?" He asked his friend again.
A bitter smile grazed The Crow's face as he averted his gaze from Chang Jianyu. "That's the name my parents gave me. How could I hate it? I only hate it if the people of Black Lotus use that name to call me."
Chang Jianyu didn't know much about The Crow's parents, so he frowned upon hearing The Crow's answer. "You don't want to tell me about your parents?"
The question that escaped Chang Jianyu's lips was quite a shock to The Crow, but he didn't let his surprised expression stay on his face for too long as he once again displayed a pained smile on his face.
"My parents died long ago, so there's nothing I can tell you about them."
Chang Jianyu expected the answer, so he was not surprised by it. He just nodded his head and didn't say anything else. Turning his body again, he continued his work on the computer.]
The Crow had always been worried about Chang Jianyu's safety, and now that he was finally able to leave the country, it felt like half of his burden had been lifted from his chest.
Black Lotus knew nothing about his connection with Chang Jianyu, but it was not impossible for them to find out about the relation between them if he stayed with that man for too long.
The Crow didn't want to put his friend in danger, and he was glad because he could cut the ties with his friend now.
["After I leave this country, you can pretend that you never knew me," The Crow suddenly approached Chang Jianyu's seat and surprised the short man with his sudden statement.
"What?" Chang Jianyu was shocked and immediately looked up. "You want to dump me after I helped you this much?"
The Crow knew that Chang Jianyu was only joking when the latter used the word 'dump', but he did not laugh at the joke.
"Black Lotus will hunt me after this, and it will be dangerous if they manage to find you. After I leave, we can't communicate with each other anymore for your safety."
Chang Jianyu fell silent upon hearing The Crow's further explanation. It touched him when he felt the older man's care toward him, but he still felt bad because they had to stop communicating after this.
Chang Jianyu didn't say a word, and he gasped in surprise when he found a saving book on the table in front of him. He frowned before looking at The Crow again, knowing that it was The Crow who just placed the saving book on the table.
"What is it?"
The Crow knew that Chang Jianyu would ask him that question, and he calmly replied, "The bank account is under your name, and the money in it will be enough for you to live for at least five years. After five years, you have to earn money yourself if you want to live."
Chang Jianyu was shocked, and he turned his gaze to the saving book again. He reached out his hand to take the book and looked at it intently. "I don't need it," he answered firmly. "I went to the doctor a few days ago, and he told me that I'm fine now. He gave me a letter stating that I am mentally healthy now, so I can go find the best job in town. "
The Crow looked surprised when he heard his friend's statement. Little did he know that his friend had finally recovered from his past trauma after two years.
Hearing no response from The Crow, Chang Jianyu finally got up from the chair and thrust the saving book into The Crow's hands. "You're going to need the money," he said softly. "Just like a crow and also the meaning of your real name, you have to fly far away to start a new life. Promise me that you will be happy on your journey, Wen Xiang."]
Wen Xiang. He would use that name again from now on. Like the meaning of his name, he would fly far to find his purpose in life.
Meanwhile, at the same time but in a different place, Qin Zemin used a piece of cloth to wipe his beloved gun. Standing beside him was Fan Quan, and he glanced at the younger man as he said, "Don't let our little crow fly for too long. Catch him quickly and break his wings so he can't fly anymore."
