Chapter 4

"You're the same as them? You're a bad person too!" Yichen said leaving angrily. Yufei immediately followed Yichen. Muchen was silent, not wanting to talk.

"I've seen the wound on your stomach. It just healed and it hurt again. Are you tired of living?" Angry Huiying. "Why are you so talkative?" Muchen said in a weak voice.

"Because I don't want you to die! You annoying man!" Huiying said leaving angrily. Muchen let out a tired sigh. "Yize, how is my condition?" Muchen asked looking at Yize.

"It's okay. Don't get water on your wound yet. Rest for a few days. If you continue to force yourself then your wound will get infected if it opens again." Yize's advice. “What…” Muchen was cut off.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure he gets enough rest." Yuxuan said flatly. Yize nodded and smiled. "Tomorrow, I will come to check your condition and change your medicine." Yize said before leaving.

Muchen nodded slowly. "Yuxuan ge, I need help." Muchen said looking at Yuxuan seriously. "What is it?" Yuxuan asked, frowning confusedly. "I'm going, you go look for my brother. I'm scared, they will go looking for him. Help me, look after him." Muchen said seriously.

"Now you need me, not your brother who needs me." Yuxuan said annoyed. "I only believe in you. If you don't want to, I'll go look for him." Muchen said he was about to get up and was stopped by Yuxuan. "I'll look for him. Rest here." Yuxuan said, tightening Muchen's blanket before leaving.

As soon as Yuxuan left, Muchen got out of bed and changed his clothes. Outside, Yize was waiting for him in the car. Muchen got into the car. "Do you need to go?" Yize said worriedly.

"I need to show them. I'm not dead yet." Muchen said flatly but his eyes showed that he was angry. "Do you suspect that those people were sent by Hell Gate?" Yize asked in surprise.

"Even though they weren't the ones who sent people but the information was leaked. That was their doing, their intention amidst the chaos. They wanted to take my brother back to Hell Gate. What they didn't expect was that I would send my brother away first." Muchen explained.

"Bastard! How long are they going to target Yichen to be their puppet?!" Yize said angrily. "Puppet? They want to kill him and blame me for killing my little brother. That way, Hell Gate will be theirs!" Muchen said coldly.

Yize seemed to be holding back anger. Yize was indeed different from Yuxuan. Yuxuan is Muchen's childhood friend, while Yize only met Muchen in junior high school. At that time, Muchen saved Yize from debt collectors. Since then, Muchen took Yize home to his maternal grandfather's house.

Yize was taught by Muchen's maternal grandmother about both traditional and medical medicine. Since then, Yize has been like Muchen's personal doctor when he passed Muchen's grandmother's exam. Muchen's life story, Yize knows more or less, although not as much as Yuxuan.

---Hell Gate Office----

Everyone gathered there seemed happy to see their new leader but instead of seeing their new leader, Muchen appeared.

Their faces turned unsightly. "Why? Do you think I died? Sorry for disappointing you this time. I will try even harder. And this is the last time, I say don't expect to replace me. Because the day I die is also the day you all die rotting in prison. I guarantee it you all won't be able to get out of prison." Muchen said grinning.

Their faces were pale. They really chose the wrong opponent. Muchen is not the kind-hearted type but is quite the cruel type. Muchen was able to destroy whatever he wanted from the rumors circulating and now they saw and heard it for themselves.

---park---

Yichen looked annoyed sitting there accompanied by Yufei. "Tell me?! Why is he doing such a dangerous job?!" Yichen said annoyed. "I don't know your brother that well but I think he chose this path because he had no other choice." Yufei said calmly.

"Why doesn't he have a choice? He has my father's company to pass on. What else is there to lose?" Yichen said angrily. The park is quite quiet and there are no people. "Why didn't you guess? You know your brother better than I do." Yufei said smiling.

Yichen fell silent. "Young Master Xiao, I finally found you. Come with me. Everyone is waiting for you to return home." A man said pulling Yichen's hand. Yufei grabbed the man's hand till he let go of Yichen.

"Who are you? Dare to interfere in Hell Gate's affairs. Are you tired of living?!" The man said angrily and attacked Yufei but Yufei easily defeated him. Just then, Yuxuan arrived and looked at the man in front of him flatly.

The man looked at Yuxuan in fear. "Are you okay?" Yuxuan asked turning to look at Yichen worriedly. Yufei, who saw the change in Yuxuan's instantaneous expression, smiled faintly.

"I'm fine, Yuxuan ge. Why are you here?" Yichen asked confused. "Recently I found annoying flies and I was afraid they would hurt you so I followed you." Yuxuan said checking Yichen's body.

"I'm really fine. Yufei helped me." Yichen explained. "Okay, let's go home." Bring Yuxuan. "Vice leader, he is the original candidate from Hell Gate, not that cold-hearted guy. We will die if that cold-hearted guy is still in charge." The man said to persuade Yuxuan.

Yuxuan approached the man. A slap knocked the man unconscious. Yichen and Yufei were shocked. “Yuxuan ge, what does he mean by calling you Vice leader?” Yichen asked. "If you come back then I will tell you." Yuxuan said.

Yichen finally agrees to return home. Yufei, who was curious, also came back. The three returned to Muchen's apartment. Yichen tied the man neatly in the kitchen before heading to the living room.

"Even though Muchen will scold me for this. I think you should know the truth." Yuxuan said flatly. "Aren't you afraid he'll come out and beat you?" Yufei asked smiling.

"He's probably asleep." Yuxuan said calmly. "Your parents' deaths have something to do with Hell Gate." Yuxuan said looking at Yichen. Yichen looked shocked. "But big brother said it was just an ordinary accident." Yichen said in disbelief.

"That day, your mother was going to take the position as Leader of Hell Gate after your grandfather died. Because of the suggestion from the elders but the accident happened and it was even more cruel. Your brother was in that car. Your brother saw clearly, the car that hit your family's car was one of the elders." Yuxuan explained.

"After the accident, your brother was in a coma for two months. In those two months, none of the elders who supported your grandfather's decision to have your brother take his position died." Yuxuan added. "I know, my brother was in a coma for two months when he woke up. He turned into someone I don't recognize anymore." Yichen said sadly.

"Cold, quiet and doesn't talk much anymore. The cheerful and carefree child disappeared. Because he knew his responsibility was quite big at that time. He had to lead Hell Gate and Spring Group at the same time." Yuxuan said dreamily.

"How old was he then?" Yufei asked curiously. "12 years old." Yuxuan replied. "How old were you then?" Yufei asked looking at Yichen. "5 years." Yichen replied sadly. "12 years have passed. A 12 year old kid leads Spring Group, aren't the shareholders protesting?" Yufei asked confused.

"Of course, they protested. They wanted an adult leader to do it but there were people who supported it. My father, Song Zirui opened his voice and closed their mouths. Until 3 years ago, they said that Muchen was unable to lead because he was often absent so they wanted to change the leader so Muchen offered Yichen. As long as you are still in school, your uncle, Xiao Kang will take care of everything." Yuxuan explained.

"Is he absent because of Hell Gate matters?" Yichen asked looking down. "Yes and no. It's true that it's said to be unrelated, but if it's said to be related, there's also a connection." Yuxuan said ambiguously.

"You mean Muchen investigated the case of their parents' deaths?" Yufei asked. "Yes, after leaving responsibility for the Spring Group, he went to various countries to look for clues and found the bastards who were hiding after killing your parents." Yuxuan explained flatly.

"Where are they now?" Yichen asked. "Died. Your brother killed them with his own hands. Because of that these three years, he had no intention of returning to Cloud Country. If it weren't for you, he would never come home." Yuxuan explained.

"Is he afraid I hate him?" Yichen asked sadly. "He's not afraid, you hate him. He's afraid, you'll get hurt because of him. For example, like today. If he doesn't come home, chances are they won't be so aggressive and I can still handle it myself." Yuxuan said.

Yichen was silent for a long time before saying something that made Yuxuan quite surprised. "I don't care about their aggressiveness. I'm not afraid, I just want my brother by my side." Yichen replied. Yuxuan smiled.

"The reason why you want to be made their leader? Because they want you and your brother to fight. It doesn't matter who gets hurt, you will hate each other even more. They even hope that your brother dies and you too." Yuxuan added. "They even want Yichen to be the victim?!" Yufei asked angrily.

"Otherwise, how could Hell Gate be their property?" Yuxuan asked calmly. Yufei seemed to want to tear apart anyone who had bad intentions. Yuxuan smiled before entering Muchen's room.

Yuxuan went out in a panic. "Muchen disappeared?" Yuxuan said panicked. Yichen was shocked before panicking too. "Isn't he sleeping? How could he disappear?" Yichen said panicked.

The door opened and Muchen walked in. Yuxuan looked at Muchen walking in before hugging him tightly. "I thought you disappeared." Yuxuan said, tightening his hug as if he was afraid that Muchen would disappear from his sight. Yichen looked relieved. Yufei shook his head at Yuxuan and Yichen's panicked behavior.
