Chapter 59: Fu Tailan: Two People Waiting for the Rabbit
Fu Tailan was still sitting on the hood of the car. He glanced at the person who came, turned his head again, and did not get out of the car.

"...Could it be that the people on the boat are from your family?"

"Don't say stupid things."

Chase Monroe seemed unaware that his car was parked in the middle of the road - but there were not many cars on the road leading to the private dock ahead, and it was late at night; Fu Tailan's hope that a police car would pass by and give him a ticket was temporarily dashed.

"If it were us who made the deal with Vesile, do you think I would let you sit here?"

"Then where do you want me to sit? In Kyronan's chair?"

Fu Tailan replied, but she couldn't help feeling annoyed in her heart.

...How did he know that?
Vesile had a transaction tonight, which was kept secret from the entire Blackmore City.

Fu Tailan had only decided on his steps based on the unexpected intelligence he had obtained less than an hour ago. He had only just arrived here - where on earth had this guy smelled the scent and followed him like a hyena?
He really wanted to know, but he was even more reluctant to ask.

After a moment of silence with a sullen face, Fu Tailan suddenly sneered. "...So it's Huangli Roslin. Is there anyone willing to board your sinking ship? She better not change jobs again."

"Oh? You figured it out on your own?" Chai Si asked, "Without the help of a tutor?"

In fact, there is still a part that he hasn't figured out - for example, even if Huangli Roslin knew their location, how did Chai Si know that Weisilai was making a deal with a third person - but Fu Tailan couldn't ask now no matter what.

Anyway, even if there is only a little clue, this person will not let go once he bites him. He really chose the wrong career and deserves to be a cuckold.

Fu Tailan only asked: "Are you happy being your godfather's dog?"

Chai Si was not angry; he smiled, and a tooth turned white during the night.

"Be happier than your real dad is a dog."

"...The hunter's affairs have nothing to do with you. You don't understand. Go back."

"How can that be? If you mess up, there's always an adult to clean up the mess." Chai Si stared at him, then smiled. "...Aren't you used to this kind of thing?"

Fu Tailan had never cared about the color of his eyes; but at this moment, Chai Si's eyes were like a pair of hard and shiny ink stones in the night, sunken deep under his brow bones, as if swallowing up the surrounding darkness.

Compared with humans, he was sometimes closer to the residents - although he was standing in the city of Blackmore, he seemed to cast a long shadow of a resident on the ground.

Perhaps it was because of this feeling in his heart that as he approached step by step, Fu Tailan found that his body was gradually tensing up.

Although he didn't do it consciously, he still twisted his angle almost imperceptibly, trying to face him head-on, every muscle ready to leap up at any moment.

Long Zhen was in charge of dispatching personnel and setting up controls on the rear section of the road, and he was the only one there.

If I were to clash with Chai Si here...

"Don't be nervous. If I want to take action, there's no point in you being on guard." Chai Si raised his chin towards his hand, "I just need a light."

"There's no fire."

Cursing inwardly, Fu Tailan looked at the burning paper roll in his hand—if you have the guts, go make a fire by rubbing two sticks together. "You should get out of here right now."

"Oh?"

"The man who made the deal with Vesile hasn't disembarked yet,"

Fu Tailan threw the paper roll to the ground, completely betraying his youthful temper. He summoned up all his patience before saying, "Your car is stuck in the middle of the road, sticking out like a stunt, more conspicuous than the Loch Ness Monster. What do you want the fire for? Are you sending them a flare to stop them from leaving?"

Most hunters in Blackmore City would know trouble was coming if they saw a driver standing in the headlights of a car in front of them in the middle of the night.

"Are you afraid I'll mess with your business?" Chai Si turned his head and looked at the road leading to the dock. "I'm a very reasonable person."

Fu Tailan responded with a sneer.

"If I had known I might have disturbed you, I would not have continued standing in the middle of the street."

...Although he is reluctant to admit it, the reason why Chase Monroe, who has no connections, can reach his current position in the hunter world is not entirely because he is willing to be a dog for his adoptive father.

As Carter Morgan said, "If you have a plan, you will naturally do it"; when people take action, there will be traces.

Chai Si used his cunning talent to smell something different from the Morgan family's actions tonight - in other words, his target was not only Wesley's trading partner, but he was also trying to find out the Morgan family's intentions and plans.

If you think about it more deeply, he might even have been keeping an eye on the Morgan family for some time.

He would indeed be a good hunter.

So he must not have any access.

"This matter has nothing to do with the Kai family."

Fu Tailan's face turned cold. She said, "Someone has taken over the Morgan family's business. We are just cleaning up the garbage. It's a private matter. Have you thought about it? Do you think the Kai family must intervene tonight?"

"Bullshit."

Chai Si looked at the dock in the distance and said, "When you first saw me just now, didn't you ask me if the people on the boat were from Kai's family? That means you don't know who is on the boat either."

How could Fu Tailan be caught like this? "Is this your first day out here? He dares to mess with us, so he must have someone backing him up. I followed you here, and you just happened to show up here." He sneered. "How can there be so many coincidences in the world? Of course I have to ask."

Chai Si looked at Fu Tailan expressionlessly - it seemed that he was also a little unsure.

"That makes sense."

However, Chai Si thought about it and said, "Unfortunately, even if you say you are a human, I won't believe it until I see the autopsy report."

Fu Tailan immediately jumped out of the car, walked around Chai Si, and opened the driver's door.

"Then you keep trying," he said. "I want to see what you can accomplish."

The car door slammed shut, cutting off the other party's subsequent reaction.

Although there is an additional variable in the form of Chai Si, the situation tonight is still under the control of the Morgan family.

First of all, with Fu Tailan watching from the side, he couldn't catch the person he was trading with.

Secondly, even if the trading partner turned around and left as soon as he saw Chai Si, the hunters and helicopters deployed nearby by Fu Tailan could continue to track him down and find out his identity - there would be some more twists and turns, but they would also be far away from the dock and less likely to alarm Vesile.

Even if Weisilai has doubts in the future, he can still put the blame on the Kai family... Even the trading partner himself will think that the one chasing him is the Kai family.

So from another perspective, the appearance of Chase is actually a good thing: he became a cover for the Morgan family.

That being said, it was really difficult for Fu Tailan to expect a 17-year-old boy to swallow this kind of pressure.

He glanced out through the half-lowered car window.

Chai Si had walked back to the center of the road - his tall silhouette was leaning on the front of a black Mercedes-Benz, his arms folded, as if he had made up his mind to turn tonight into a chaotic game.

No matter what he planned to do next, now the two of them could only wait.

The night fell silent again, and I looked at the lights on the sea in the distance.

After a while, Fu Tailan subconsciously touched his trouser pocket and realized that he had just thrown the last cigarette on the ground.

He hesitated for once: If I go down and pick it up, it seems a bit embarrassing.

If he didn't go to pick it up, he would just sit in the car and wait motionless, unable even to look at his phone, which was too hard to endure. After all, he was only seventeen years old. Even if he knew that he would have to risk his life in a while, he would still be bored now.

Fu Tailan leaned out of the car and took another look.

Don’t middle-aged and elderly people know what boredom is?
If Chai Si didn't move, he would really suspect that the other person was asleep - just at this moment, Chai Si stood up, walked around the side of the car, bent down and put a hand into the window.

When he stood up again, he had a heavy-looking pole in his hand, with a T-shaped top; at the same time, music started to play from the black Mercedes-Benz.

Chai Si smiled silently at Fu Tailan, as if tearing a wound from the darkness of nothingness.

He swung the T-bar with one hand, stepped forward with his singing voice spreading like mist under the night sky, and leaned on the front of the car again.

The night paused, and suddenly a strong wind like the rhythm of the wind on the road came, as if it could blow people's bangs.

I've been dreamin' about the West Coast
Where the people take it real slow
Chase's silhouette was still like a frozen statue; only when one looked closely could one see that the tips of his shoes were also slightly moving in time with the beat.

Fu Tailan tried to hold back, but couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter - half like a mockery, half like amusement.

Since middle-aged and elderly people have started listening to music, what does it matter if he picks up a cigarette?

Fu Tailan pushed open the car door and put one foot on the road; at this moment, a car drove out from the corner of the road ahead, and its bright headlights pierced the darkness.

...coming?
Fu Tailan stretched out his hand and grabbed an iron chain that had been placed on the roof of the car. Without turning his head, he heard a muffled "bang" and saw a tall figure in the corner of his eye jump onto the front of the car.

As soon as he completed the turn, the oncoming car suddenly turned away from the road as if startled. Amidst the sharp friction of tires that seemed to spark sparks in the night, the car rushed down the road in a panic. The thought of "Did he see Chai Si" flashed through Fu Tailan's mind, but he immediately realized that something was wrong.

It was too far away, the other party shouldn't be able to see Chai Si clearly, let alone be scared enough to rush out like this.

That person must have discovered something else—

Before he could finish his thought, a heavy cannon shot out from a silent and dim little building on the side of the road. The darkness collapsed and a ball of fire burst out.

The next second, the car, like a toy thrown by a child, was lifted high into the sky by the flames and air currents.

All I wanna do is fly
Take me where the sun shines
　I haven’t been sleeping well recently. I stay up late every night. It’s so uncomfortable…

　　I finally understand why I write slowly. I'm just an amateur online writer, but I have the illusion that I'm a director. As I'm writing, I have to pick a background music. I spent half an hour looking through the playlist and finally felt that West Coast was suitable. I must include it in the article.

　　The lyrics are very fitting, quite ironic, and also fitting for Tsai Ing-wen's background. The tempo is a bit fast, but that's fine. This scene isn't long, just a few takes.

　　Yesterday, I went to the gym and saw a very handsome guy I knew. I only reached his shoulders, so he had to be at least 2.1 meters tall. I couldn't help but sneak a few more glances at him, and I got caught. I was so embarrassed. I immediately told myself that he must be gay, and my heart calmed down. I wasn't embarrassed anymore.

　　I looked at my sisters and wondered what had happened to me.
