This World Has Gone Crazy

Third Brother hadn’t gone to buy tools first, but went to the bar to ask about Zheng Xiaoyuan. If Zheng Xiaoyuan was proven to be lying, he would ignore the rest of his words. He parked his car in a hidden place, walked through two streets to the bar, sat in front of the bar and looked at the bartender. “Do you know Zheng Xiaoyuan?” The boy said that he worked here, so this guy should know him.

The bartender looked at him and thought that this fella didn’t look right. He poured him a drink with a smile. “Yes.”

“I heard that he really needs money?”

“Mmm, his parents died in a car accident a long time ago and left him a sum of money. But he spent too much and is running out. He had no choice and started working here.” The bartender answered with a smile and asked tentatively, “Are you looking for him?”

Third Brother replied, “I’m a distant relative and I came to give him some money. He said he knew a doctor and wanted to introduce him to me.”

The bartender froze and looked at him carefully. It turned out that this man wasn’t looking for trouble. He pointed to the corner of the bar and said, “Xiao Yuan has recently met and talked with the doctor every night. He usually sits in that position. Just wait a while. They should be here soon.”

Everything that he said was true. Third Brother nodded to himself, thinking that this lil’ bro was "real" and worthy of a close friendship. He took a sip of his drink, placed some money at the bar, made a phone call, then turned and left.

Ning Xiao was about to leave at this moment. Only he and Wan Lei were there tonight. Yu Mingjie, the doctor, Gu Bai and Qi Le didn’t come. He called Qi Le but his phone was still turned off. He thought about how Gu Bai behaved during the day and felt more and more that something was wrong. He exited the bar and called Gu Bai, waiting a long time before getting through. He took the initiative in asking, “Is he in trouble?”

Gu Bai still had no news of his wife and felt more and more uneasy. At this time, the more help he could get, the better. He wasn’t going to tell him the details. Instead, he said, “I will give you a photo. If you see him, contact me. I have nothing else to share.”

Ning Xiao frowned. Gu Bai hung up just as he was about to say something. His gaze turned cold as he waited patiently. Soon, he saw the photo downloading. He opened it and looked at it and was suddenly shocked. If he remembered correctly, the person he saw at the bar earlier was this guy. He looked around hastily but didn’t see him. He took the photo and asked the bartender and immediately called after receiving a positive answer.

Gu Bai wasn’t in the mood to deal with him. “I already told you that I have nothing to share...”

“I just saw him,” Ning Xiao interrupted. “He came to the bar to ask about Zheng Xiaoyuan.”

Gu Bai suddenly sat up straight. “Watch him! Don’t let him notice you.”

“He just left and I’m looking for him.” Ning Xiao walked to the road ahead. “I haven’t seen him for the time being. I’ll hang up now and look for him first.”

Gu Bai quickly got up and said simply explained the situation to Lu Yanbin, then hurried downstairs. Lu Yanbin followed him as well, asking about the incident. They drove to the bar and looked at the pedestrians nearby, trying to find Third Brother, but the results were disappointing. They didn’t find him. Gu Bai stopped at the bar to ask about the details.

When Ning Xiao saw them, he followed them back in and quietly listened. He was a little puzzled. “Why is that man asking about this?”

Gu Bai knew Xiao Le like the back of his hand. Naturally, he could guess that his wife had told Third Brother something and Third Brother wasn’t at ease so he came to verify it. At present, the good thing was that his wife was still alive. The bad thing was that he didn’t know how big a tale his wife had spun. If he were caught, he would be in trouble. His eyes sank as he turned to leave.

Ning Xiao chased after him. “Where are you going?”

Gu Bai opened the door and got in the car. “I’m going to keep looking for that man.”

Right then, Lu Yanbin also came out and got into his car. They were going to look at the nearby streets. Ning Xiao had always been smart and could just about guess what had happened, so he began to look for him too.

Third Brother didn’t waste any time. He left the bar to buy tools, then looked around warily and drove back. Qi Le was keenly aware that the man’s eyes became cordial when he looked at him and was suddenly puzzled. Third Brother smiled and patted him. “Brother, how about going to the psychiatric hospital with me?”

“...” Qi Le said, “Huh?”

“I think you are quite smart and may be able to help me.”

“...” Qi Le smiled bitterly. “Third Brother, you think too much of me. What can I do with my petite size? I’ll just be a drag if I go with you, so it’s better if I wait for you here.”

Third Brother looked at him and found out that this was indeed the case. He thought for a moment. “Ok, I’ll go and take a look first. If I can’t find it, I’ll discuss with you again.”

Qi Le secretly relaxed and pretended to be worried. “Third Brother, be careful and pay attention to your safety.”

“I know.” Third brother sat down for a while, then finally decided to set off.

Qi Le and Yi Hang watched him leave and sat patiently for nearly half an hour. Taking opportunity of the time when Shunzi went out to the restroom, Qi Le winked at Yi Hang to signal that it was about time to start. The latter nodded, took a deep breath and sat properly. Qi Le looked at the door. When he heard footsteps, he shouted, “What’s the matter, Yi Hang? Have you recovered your memory?”

Outside, Shunzi heard them clearly and quickly opened the door.

Qi Le still stared at a certain someone and cried anxiously, “Yi Hang? Yi Hang?”

Yi Hang frowned and seemed to have a headache. Then, he looked around blankly. His eyes fell onto the door as he stared with a straight face. He tried his best to control his voice and asked in a heavy tone, “......Shunzi?”

Shunzi froze before taking two steps towards him. “......Older brother Hang?”

“Mmm, why are you here...” Yi Hangpaused slightly and looked down at himself, somewhat angry. “What is going on? Shunzi. What do you want?”

“No, it’s not like that...” Shunzi stuttered and subconsciously looked at Qi Le. The latter immediately spoke and explained the matter briefly. Yi Hang frowned immediately. “Untie me.”

“Third Brother won’t allow it.”

“When he said not to, he was referring to the me with amnesia, not the present me.” Yi Hang’s forehead was covered in cold sweat but he still had a straight face. “Untie me quickly. The guards at the nursing home are all mercenaries. He can’t deal with it alone and the money isn’t hidden in the corner. It’s ten steps away. Untie me now. Let’s look for him, take the money and leave.”

Shunzi thought for a moment, went over to untie the rope and looked at Qi Le. “What about him?”

“Tie his hand to mine so that he doesn’t run away or, just in case, I forget again and want to flee. If you are in trouble, take me hostage.” Yi Hang ordered.

Shunzi didn’t have any objections. He untied Qi Le, then tied their hands together. Yi Hang took his coat and draped it in the middle to cover the rope. Then, the three went out together. It was already late at night, and they were in a relatively remote area. They waited for a long time on the road before getting a taxi. Yi Hang and Qi Le were tied together and naturally, sat in the back, while Shunzi sat in the front.

Yi Hang looked at the shops along the road and told the driver to stop in front of a hardware store. He gulped and pretended to be brave as he leaned forward to whisper in Shunzi’s ear. “Go in and buy some stuff. Just in case we get into a fight, we’ll have something to fight with. Go and come back quickly. We’re in a hurry.”

Shunzi said "Ok," opened the door and ran.

Qi Le and Yi Hang watched him leave and quickly said, “Sir, leave now!”

The driver was surprised. “Won’t you wait for him?”

Qi Le shouted, “No! Go now!”

The driver muttered "Mmm," and drove off. When Shunzi turned around, he found that the car was already gone. He stared in a daze for a moment before immediately calling Third Brother, who flew into a rage when he heard the whole story. “Which way did they go? I’ll take a shortcut to stop them. You get a taxi and chase after them!”

“Okay.”
