Li Bo called Shu Lang, and Shu Lang arrived a dozen minutes later.

When Shu Lang saw Li Bo, his pupils trembled slightly. Five years had passed, and the person who should have perished in the fire had come back to life. It was truly a pleasant surprise.

"Mr. Bo, it's been a long time," Shu Lang said with a smile.

Li Bo nodded slightly and handed over the menu: "What would you like to drink?"

Shu Lang ordered a latte.

The two chatted about their recent situations, and then Li Bo brought up the matter of the house in Xiyuan, Xubei Street, which made Shu Lang pause for two seconds.

Shu Lang said that the house wasn't with him.

Shu Lang's story differed from the landlord's.

Shu Lang did not buy that house. At that time, he had not yet taken over Zhihuai, and he did not have enough liquid funds to keep the house.

"Mr. Bo, a house worth ten million is not something that just anyone in Beijing can come up with all at once."

Li Bo frowned slightly: "Hmm."

Li Bo knew better than anyone the market value of that house.

Given the vast amount of information available, Li Bo could only think of one person: Zhou Yanshao, who could casually take out over ten million yuan without altering the interior furnishings and preserving all traces of Li Bo's past life.

Ironically, he was the least likely person to be there.

Zhou Yanshao didn't go to the ski resort in Russia six years ago. He hadn't even thought about forgiving him six years ago, so how could he possibly buy the house he had lived in and protect it so well?

But besides Zhou Yanshao, Li Bo couldn't think of a second person.

Shu Lang also told Li Bo many things, such as: Zhou Yanshao returned to China once a year for the past six years. The year after Li Bo perished in the fire, Zhou Yanshao was injured while skiing. Wan Gong was so frightened that he rushed to Northern Europe overnight and didn't sleep a wink... As soon as Wan Gong landed, he went straight to the hospital, but unexpectedly, Zhou Yanshao had a big argument with him, and Wan Gong was sent back to Beijing that very night.

There was also the birthday cake that Li Bo entrusted him to send to Zhou Yanshao every July 8th. Shu Lang sent it in the name of Nordea Bank, but Zhou Yanshao never accepted it.

Zhou Yanshao, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, wouldn't be short of a birthday cake.

Li Bo listened intently, his eyes slightly reddening.

Li Bo took a breath: "Was his skiing injury serious?"

"It's quite serious."

"..." Li Bo's hand trembled slightly as he drank his coffee.

Shu Lang and Li Bo talked a lot about Zhou Yanshao. In the past two years, Shu Lang has been in charge of Zhihuai and has become Wan Gong's right-hand man. Wan Gong trusts him quite a bit. He also occasionally knows some things about Northern Europe.

Shu Lang glanced at Li Bo, who was slightly lost in thought, then answered a phone call and left.

After Shu Lang left, Li Bo sat in the coffee shop for a long time.

Li Bo could guess the reason why Zhou Yanshao and Wan Gong were arguing.

It turns out that no matter how rotten or selfish Li Bo was, Zhou Yanshao would still feel sad and angry for him after his death.

There are people in this world who care about Li Bo.

Zhou Yanshao knew about his selfishness and allowed Li Bo to love himself a little more.

In Zhou Yanshao's world, he enjoyed 100% love from birth, while Li Bo did not; he had to piece together even 10%.

As a lover, Zhou Yanshao fully accepts Li Bo's selfishness. He feels sorry for Li Bo's past and knows that if Li Bo is not a little selfish, he will not be able to leave anything behind.

He allowed and tolerated Li Bo's selfishness.

While everyone else was saying that Li Bo was selfish, only Zhou Yanshao thought that there was nothing wrong with being a little selfish.

There's nothing wrong with loving yourself.

Zhou Yanshao even felt that Li Boguang's selfishness wasn't enough; he also needed to treat Li Bo better and wanted Li Bo to feel 100% of his love.

Love is tolerance, understanding the reasons behind the other person's shortcomings, compassion, and protection.

Zhou Yanshao is an absolutely perfect lover.

It's not surprising that someone like that receives love from anyone.

After finishing his coffee, Li Bo felt refreshed. By the time he left the coffee shop, it was already quite dark.

Li Bo walked towards the nearby subway entrance when his phone rang. He received a verification message from his landlord.

The landlord's profile picture is white, and their ID is:

The verification message reads: "Ren Dong, something's up."

Ren Dong is the name of Li Bo's landlord.

Li Bo accepted the friend request.

【。】:I left the spare key that Shulang gave me last night with you. It's on the bedside table. Did you see it?

Li Bo replied: 【No, I didn't notice.】

【。】:The door to the house is unlocked. Could you please keep it safe for me while I go on a business trip?

【L】: I won't be staying in Beijing for long. I'll be leaving in a couple of days. Give me an address, and I'll go get the keys now and mail them to you tomorrow.

Li Bo didn't receive any further reply, but he still took a taxi to Xiyuan on Xubei Street. The door wasn't locked, and it would be troublesome if anything was stolen. After entering, he found the key on the bedside table.

After taking the keys, Li Bo walked around the house. Actually, the furnishings inside were a bit different. For example, Li Bo didn't put any aromatherapy or hang any paintings in his study. For Li Bo, simplicity was the key to his office, and he wouldn't spend time or energy decorating it.

The blankets on the sofa are similar in color, but the fabrics are different.

The blankets these days feel like they're imported; they're thinner, lighter, more expensive, and very comfortable.

There's a new TV in the living room, but the small fish tank is gone...

There are some minor discrepancies.

Li Bo had just finished looking around and was about to leave when he received a reply; the other party sent him an address.

【。】:Send it on the day you leave.

【L】: Okay, thanks for last night.

【。】:Drink less alcohol.

【。】:It's bad for your health.

Li Bo smiled when he saw the message.

【L】:Yeah, that's how it is at work.

[L]: You're still awake?

【。】:Yeah, it's only eight o'clock now.

【L】:I didn’t notice, it was quite a while ago.

【L】: There's a smell of smoke in this room. I don't think it will rain for the next two days, so I'll leave it open to ventilate. You can turn it off when you come back from your business trip in a couple of days.

【。】: Yeah, I'm not coming back. I'll get someone to clean up in a couple of days.

Li Bo's eyes darkened: "Then I won't open the window. If we don't find it soon and it rains, the house will get wet. Let the cleaners handle it."
