Chapter 37: Let Me Protect You (V)

Feng Juan quietly took a detour around the pair of pa.s.sionate and fiery males, and quickly returned to the living room. He was astonished to find that there was a young man beside Shang Ke acting coquettishly as his eyes flashed in an ambiguous manner.

The scene he had just seen in the corridor floated to the forefront of his mind, and he felt a rush of blood accompanying his rage. He rushed over and pulled Shang Ke up, coldly stating, "Let's go."

"Hey, the party just started." The youth grasped Shang Ke's other arm.

Feng Juan moved quickly, and almost dislocated the other's wrist.

"Ah!" He cried out in pain and let go.

Feng Juan pulled Shang Ke to leave, but a group of people blocked their way out.

"Get out of my way!" Feng Juan shouted coldly.

"Boys, since you are already here, play with us," a brown haired boy spoke with an evil smile.

"Get out of my way!" Feng Juan repeated himself.

"You guys don't know what kind of party this is?" One of the others laughed. "It's a love party, made specifically for you inexperienced kids."

A couple of the older teens began to laugh as the other children exposed different expressions. Some were excited, some were filled with antic.i.p.ation, and some were shy and uneasy. However, it was clear that they had all known in advance and consented.

Shang Ke was simply speechless. The youngest was only twelve! Did they really have to play so hardcore?

A trace of loathing flashed through Feng Juan's eyes and he pushed aside the boy, trying to force his way through.

"You guys are both going to stay here today." The youth whose wrist had almost been broken by Feng Juan walked over, putting on a tough front and ordering them.

"And if we don't stay?" Feng Juan looked at them with an indifferent expression.

"Then don't blame us for being too rough," he said as he gestured to one of his companions.

Feng Juan did not wait for them to surround them before kicking and overturning a table. He then punched the person closest to him, directly causing him to scream as his nose began to bleed.

Shang Ke also did not idle around. He grasped someone else by the arm and twisted sharply until he heard a "kacha" sound. Their arm was gloriously dislocated.

Shang Ke and Feng Juan were like two delicate tigers, a "ma.s.sacre" unfolding as they rushed into the group of robust sheep.

Daisy and the others all panicked and retreated, dumbstruck as they watched the chaotic scene.

The fight only lasted three minutes before it ended. Everyone was on the ground, while Shang Ke's and Feng Juan's clothes weren't even messed up.

Shang Ke took out his cell phone and took a couple pictures, before speaking with a smile, "We had a lot of fun today. Perhaps we can play another day."

Another day? Feng Juan glanced at him unhappily from the corner of his eye.

Shang Ke then looked towards Daisy and the others and warned her, "Daisy, don't try to hold this kind of party anymore. Otherwise, I will call the police. You guys too!"

The final line was directed at those kids who do not know their own limits.

"f.u.c.k…" Someone's profanity hadn't even been completely spoken as Feng Juan stepped down on his neck.

Accompanied by moans of pain, Feng Juan held Shang Ke's hand and left.

"s.h.i.+t! You guys just wait!" The youth from before who tried to hook up with Shang Ke bellowed at their backs.

Daisy walked to his side and spoke softly, "Clyde, I'm very sorry. I forgot to tell you guys that Bruno and Ian are both very good at Chinese martial arts…"

Clyde: "&%[email protected]"

"Juan Juan, you aren't injured, are you?" Shang Ke saw that Feng Juan's face was dark and asked.

"I'm fine," Feng Juan said angrily, "You're not allowed to partic.i.p.ate in this kind of utterly worthless party anymore!"

"Of course." He did not want to lose all of his integrity.

Feng Juan still wore a dark expression.

"Juan Juan, what's wrong?" Shang Ke felt that his mood was a bit unusual.

"Just now, did that person do something strange to you?" Feng Juan asked with a long face.

Would asking him for a one night stand be counted as something strange?

"He didn't." The world of adults was too complicated. It was best to not pollute the pure hearts of children.

"Really?" Feng Juan eyed him sharply with a face that still carried the innocence of childhood, and managed to awkwardly accomplish a domineering atmosphere.

Shang Ke calmly nodded.

Feng Juan pursed his lips and did not speak anymore. He didn't need to tell Shang Ke about matters like men being together, so as to not pollute his pure heart. (Shang Ke: Eh?)

When they arrived at their home, Shang Ke took off his coat and went to the bathroom.

Feng Juan was called away by Mr. Ferrg to play chess. By the time he returned, Shang Ke had already finished his shower beautifully. His half-wet hair fell over his forehead, and his fair skin was still glistening from the water. He was only wearing a T-s.h.i.+rt, with two long legs slightly elevated. On the deep blue bedding, they appeared even more fair and delicate.

Feng Juan's gaze darkened and he walked over to sit beside Shang Ke. He picked up his right leg and asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt again?"

Shang Ke responded with a smile, "Yeah, a bit."

"Leave all the fights in the future to me. I am not the child from before who needed to be protected all the time." Feng Juan skillfully ma.s.saged his leg. He would never forget how Ke Ke obtained his leg injury because of him. If it weren't for Ke Ke's protection back then, he likely would have already lost his life. To him, Ke Ke was an irreplaceable existence.

Then, what was he to Ke Ke? What was he?

"Hm, okay," Shang Ke lazily replied.

Feng Juan raised his eyes to look at him. He was lying on the pillow and hugging that ugly bear, his eyes narrowed in a comfortable expression. His T-s.h.i.+rt rode up slightly, revealing his white stomach and black underwear. His left leg was propped up on the bed frame, swaying faintly, while his right leg was bent, allowing Feng Juan to ma.s.sage it.

Feng Juan's gaze began to wander uncontrollably over his body. The scene he had seen previously at Daisy's place once again attacked his mind, but this time the two people in it were him and Shang Ke…

Feng Juan swiftly stood up and rushed into the bathroom as if he was running for his life.

Shang Ke opened his eyes and looked bewilderedly in the direction of the bathroom. He thought, If he wanted to use the bathroom so much, then he should have just went. Was there a need for him to hold it that much?

Feng Juan leaned against the bathroom door as he panted. His lower body seemed to swell up, and he felt a bit pained. He felt like a fire had been ignited in him, and it burned until his entire body was scalded.

Feng Juan quickly took off his clothes and turned the nozzle, rinsing himself with cold water.

He looked down at the proudly standing object, and he felt a bit embarra.s.sed. He knew what this meant, but it merely happened a bit too suddenly and caught him unprepared.

d.a.m.nit! Wasn't he maturing a bit too early?

Feng Juan stayed in the bathroom for almost half an hour, and when he came out, Shang Ke had already fallen asleep wrapped in blankets.

It was better that he had fallen asleep. Otherwise, he would worry that Shang Ke would figure something out. Feng Juan quietly climbed onto the bed and carefully laid beside him. He turned on his side to look at his sleeping face, and a hint of pa.s.sion pa.s.sed through his eyes.

"Ke Ke…" In the darkness, Feng Juan let out a depressed sigh.

The next day, after they had just walked into the cla.s.sroom, Daisy immediately ran over to them and warned them, "Yesterday, Clyde came to ask me for information on you two, so he may act against you two. Be careful, Clyde's family is very rich, and he is a famous playboy among the local schools."

"Since you know he's a playboy, why did you involve the other children?" Shang Ke's tone contained a rare trace of strictness.

Daisy felt wronged as she said, "They all volunteered."

"Then were we also volunteers?" Shang Ke spoke with displeasure, "When you invited us, you didn't explain what kind of party it was!"

Daisy lowered her head, mumbling to herself, "I was afraid you guys wouldn't come."

"Very good. In the future, so long as it's a party hosted by you, we won't attend." After speaking, Shang Ke no longer paid her any heed.

Feng Juan had not even looked at Daisy, and his eyes had stayed on Shang Ke's body the entire time. He felt that his Ke Ke was truly great! No one could compare to him.

Daisy pouted and left while sulking.

After being warned by Daisy, Shang Ke and Feng Juan were both on guard against Clyde.

Of course, the two divided up the work and used the internet to gather information on him.

Shang Ke was in charge of investigating Clyde's family background, while Feng Juan was in charge of hacking into Clyde's computer.

A short while later, Shang Ke began to speak, "His father is the CEO of Star Technology, and his mother is a famous pianist. Their family is worth over one hundred million, and they are rather influential in Banatch County."

Following that, he introduced Clyde's information in detail. After speaking for a moment, he noticed that Feng Juan was pressing down on his laptop with a stiff expression.

"Juan Juan?" Shang Ke looked at him in confusion.

Feng Juan returned to his senses, and he quickly pressed a couple keys before he finally spoke, "His ident.i.ty isn't important. What's important is how we should deal with him."

"What?" Shang Ke scooted next to him and looked at his computer screen.

Feng Juan clicked on a folder and revealed hundreds of pictures. They were all nude images of Clyde with different women. The scale was truly beyond what a normal person could accept, and even Shang Ke, who had more life experience, felt his face reddening.

He quickly changed the open window and turned to Feng Juan, saying, "Just save the folder for now. Don't look at those pictures too much."

Feng Juan was mindful of his reaction the entire time. When he saw his cheeks redden, his expression dimmed a bit and answered with a low "Ok."

Shang Ke finally calmed his heart and patted Feng Juan on the shoulder, giving him some sincere and earnest words, "We are still small, so these dirty things aren't suitable for the young and ignorant us."

Feng Juan: "……"

After Shang Ke finished speaking, he closed the laptop and tossed it on the bed before cheerfully going to the bathroom. With blackmail on hand, no matter what Clyde did, they were fearless!

After Shang Ke left, Feng Juan clicked on another window, and inside there was a folder named "Playgay."

Within Playgay wasn't pictures, but videos! Real, live people performing all sorts of movements, with everything displayed down to the the smallest detail.

He accidentally opened one, and it made his blood race, giving him an intense reaction. He almost punched through the laptop, but luckily for him, the laptop was st.u.r.dy, so he did not lose face on the spot. He rejoiced even more since he was using his headphones, and all of the moans and other sounds coming from the video did not sound out loud.

Before Shang Ke came out, Feng Juan swiftly hid all the videos behind encryption. He also added a super virus among the contents, before finally using a doc.u.ment called "Human Action Education Investigation Report" to hide it.

Feng Juan silently looked at his computer screen and thought, Wasn't trying to hide it motherf*cking making things worse? He really was stupid beyond belief!

However, he could also faintly sense that he might actually be gay, and that he held those kinds of thoughts toward Ke Ke.

After thinking to that point, Feng Juan felt that he could no longer look straight at Ke Ke…

Chapter 38: Let Me Protect You (VI)

Clyde's revenge happened faster than Shang Ke had imagined. Not even half a month after the party, Mr. Ferrg was fired from his company for an unknown reason. Then, Mrs. Ferrg's flower bed was ruined. Following that, Shang Ke and Feng Juan's bikes were stolen, and they would lose other items frequently.

Not long after, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Clyde appeared in front of them and proudly flaunted his "glorious achievements," before telling them that, so long as they accompanied him for a few nights, he would let them off. However, in the end he and his pack of rogues were once again beaten up by Feng Juan. Feng Juan did not worry about them calling the police. They would lose quite a bit of face if anyone heard about a couple of older boys being beaten up by a small, twelve year old boy.

"He really has too much time," Shang Ke said.

"Then let's give him something to do," Feng Juan replied.

Thus, the two of them worked together and posted that collection of "nude pictures" on the campus site where Clyde attended, Facebook, as well as all sorts of public websites. However, they only made the images of Clyde with adult women public, wrapping up the minor ones and sending them to the police. This was the so-called nothing would happen if they didn't do anything, but once they did they would use all of their effort.

They believed that Clyde would not have the energy to come disturb them for a long time. As for their family's income, Shang Ke and Feng Juan did not worry. Besides the government subsidy, they also relied on street performances, wrote some small programs, designed websites, and did other similar odd jobs. Thus, they had a small pile of money.

Besides, the Ferrg couple was optimistic, and they quickly cheered themselves up and once again started new jobs.

"Have you still not found out who it was?" At the Star Technology Company office, a middle aged man glared with anger at the technician sitting in front of a computer.

"Mr. Corson, they are a pretty skilled hacker, and did not leave behind any traces." The technician continued with confidence, "However, please be at ease sir. So long as he reappears, we can surely find his trail."

Corson fell into thought for a moment, then asked the a.s.sistant beside him, "Do you know who Clyde has offended recently?"

This question was really was too difficult for the a.s.sistant. Clyde offended people pretty much every day…

He considered for a moment before replying, "I am not completely sure who he has offended recently, but I heard that he gave a few people a lesson some time ago."

"Who did he teach a lesson?"

"The Weinmann family's youngest son, his cla.s.smate Jerry, and two middle school students."

Darkness flashed through Corson's eyes and he ordered him, "Send some people to play with them. If that person is among them, then he will definitely do something again."

That night, Feng Juan carried a bag of fruit and waited at the entrance of an alley for Shang Ke.

Right at this moment, five to six well-built men suddenly appeared. They rushed up to Feng Juan and attacked him without a word.

These people were all trained, and no matter whether it was build or power, their levels were all above Feng Juan's. After all, Feng Juan was still a twelve year old boy. He fought with his all for a couple minutes, but still suffered a defeat and was forcefully carried away.

When Shang Ke arrived at their meeting spot and saw the scattered fruits on the ground, his expression changed.

He immediately took his phone out and opened the tracking system, but Feng Juan's phone's signal disappeared midway. He cursed in a low voice, then rushed home and opened his laptop. He opened a city map, and used that area's surveillance systems to crazily search for Feng Juan's tracks.

Not long after, Shang Ke found what he wanted. He saw how Feng Juan was attacked by a group of people, before being taken into a black Ford that travelled southward. After a while, the car disappeared from the monitor's range.

Shang Ke clenched his teeth and took out his cell phone, calling Detective Rowan, "Detective Rowan, Ian was kidnapped."

"What? Are you sure?" Rowan was greatly alarmed.

"I'm sure, I saw him being forced onto a black Ford with my own eyes. The license plate was TN46…" Shang Ke guessed that the license plate would be useless, but he still told him as much as he knew.

"Alright, I will immediately send people out to investigate. Come to the police department. I need to make a detailed report."

"Okay." Shang Ke hung up the phone, then took his laptop and hurried to the police department.

"Why are you by yourself? Mr. Ferrg didn't come with you?" Rowan looked at his lone self and asked with amazement.

"They aren't in the area at the moment, and can't make it back." Shang Ke looked toward Rowan and spoke, "Let's find Ian first."

Rowan also did not dare tarry, and carefully questioned him on the time Feng Juan went missing, the location, as well as other information.

"Do you know who Ian had conflicts with?"

Rowan's question lit a lightbulb in Shang Ke's mind. Conflicts? The only one they had recently was with Clyde! However, there was no way for him to tell Rowan everything. Otherwise, the event with the nude pictures could no longer be hidden. After all, the way they dealt with Clyde was illegal.

Shang Ke thought deeply for a moment, before replying with three words, "I don't know."

Rowan was just about to continue his questioning when a colleague notified him from outside the door, "Rowan, we found the target vehicle in the monitors."

"Really?" Rowan immediately stood up and led Shang Ke to the monitoring room.

"Was it this car?" Rowan asked Shang Ke for confirmation.

Shang Ke nodded. He had already seen this video. After the black Ford disappeared from the monitor, they would be unable to follow it and find its position.

Rowan quickly commanded his subordinates. First, for an investigation to be done on the license plate owner, and next, for people to follow the vehicle.

"Shang, stay here and wait for news," Rowan said to Shang Ke.

"No, take me with you. Maybe I will recall something."

Rowan considered it for a bit before agreeing.

Shang Ke followed Rowan into the car, sitting in the pa.s.senger's seat.

Rowan had just started the car when he saw Shang Ke take out a laptop from his backpack, placing it on his legs and quickly opening it.

"Why are you taking out your laptop?" Rowan looked at him strangely, and the people in the back seat also looked toward Shang Ke.

Shang Ke did not pay attention to him, and his fingers quickly moved as he started to follow the movements of Clyde's parents. Clyde himself was in custody these days, so the only ones who could do this were his family.

Shang Ke had left a backdoor when he previously hacked into Star Technology's server, so he could enter easily this time.

Although Rowan did not understand much about computers, he couldn't help but be shocked at how practiced Shang Ke's movements were, as well as what was displayed on the screen.

Shang Ke no longer cared about exposing his hacking skills, as Feng Juan's safety was his only priority.

He activated the Jumping Virus and quickly searched through Star Technology's internal server. At the same time, he tried to locate Corson's phone signal.

Continuing from that, Shang Ke took out his cell phone and plugged his headphones in. The moment he put them on, the cell phone's screen showed that he had cut into a call. Corson's voice immediately flowed into Shang Ke's ears, "…Alright, just throw him into the warehouse at the Port of Lena for now. Have someone let him out after a few days."

"This kid injured quite a few of us. We want to give him a good lesson."

"So long as you guys don't disable him, you can do whatever."

"No problem, boss."

The phone disconnected, but Shang Ke did not stay idle and his fingers flew through the keyboard. There were hundreds of warehouses at the Port of Lena. Shang Ke searched for those under Star Technology or Corson's name, but there were zero results. He then checked using the a.s.sistant's name, the secretary's, and other trusted aids, before finally finding a match.

Rowan kept half of his attention on Shang Ke as he drove. Shang Ke was extremely focused as his fingers flew, pages flas.h.i.+ng past the computer screen.

The longer Rowan watched, the more fearful he became. Even if he was a computer idiot, he had still realized by now. This child had actually hacked into other people's websites and easily accessed their information.

He was only thirteen! How could he have such high cla.s.s hacking skills?

"Detective Rowan," Shang Ke suddenly spoke, "here."

He pointed at his laptop, with Port of Lena's map displayed.

"How did you find it?" Rowan couldn't help but ask. It had only been a dozen minutes, but he had actually found the specific location?

"Sorry, Detective Rowan. I didn't tell you, but we actually previously had a conflict with Clyde , so I guessed that this event has something to do with them."

Rowan's mind spun and he asked, flabbergasted, "Don't tell me that those nude pictures were sent out by you guys?"

Shang Ke nodded, not denying it.

Rowan was really convinced, "So they know it was you guys who did it? And they are taking revenge now?"

"No, they shouldn't know." If they knew, then Corson wouldn't just shut Feng Juan in for a few days, and wouldn't find people to kidnap him. If they wanted to handle him, there were plenty of ways.

"Then why would he send someone to kidnap Ian?"

"He's probably… trying to lure us out." A sharp ray of light flashed through Shang Ke's eye. After they saved Feng Juan, he would fulfill that man's desire.

Rowan looked at the current Shang Ke. He was sitting with his back straight, and his deep eyes faintly revealed his matureness and wisdom. He did not resemble a thirteen year old child at all. It was only for someone important to him that he would show the tip of his blade.

Perhaps… he had never genuinely understood this child?

Rowan did not continue to question him and sped up the car, heading straight for the destination Shang Ke had given him.

Shang Ke looked ahead and silently spoke in his heart, "Juan Juan, you will be fine. I'm coming."

In the warehouse, Feng Juan was beaten until his nose dripped with blood and his face was swollen, and he was covered in injuries. However, he held firm and did not make a sound.

"Don't pretend to be dead. Scream for me!" A man viciously kicked at his abdomen.

Feng Juan arched his body and glared at him coldly.

That man was even more infuriated by his glare and kicked him even more fiercely.

Feng Juan bore with the pain as Shang Ke's figure quickly flashed through his mind. No, he couldn't die here! He didn't want to leave Ke Ke!

He suddenly opened his eyes and searched around with blurred vision.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted as he noticed an iron pole in a corner not too far from him.

Feng Juan's arm stretched out and steadily caught an incoming kick, then pushed hard, causing the man to fall with his foot in the air.

Feng Juan took this chance to grab the iron pole, swinging it sideways to hit another man's foot joint before smas.h.i.+ng it over his head.

"You still dare to resist. Go!" The remaining four jointly attacked Feng Juan.

Feng Juan coldly stared at them, cruelty flas.h.i.+ng through his eyes…

A dozen minutes later, when the police broke through the doors, they just so happened to catch sight of Feng Juan taking the last one down.

In his hands was a iron pole stained with blood, while he himself was also dirty and stained all over. There were six strong men groaning on the ground.

His back was to the entrance until he tilted his head up, sweat flowing down from his hair, and revealed a pair of beast-like eyes.

The police were frozen by his gaze, and an indescribable chill rose from the bottom of their hearts. He was obviously just a child, so why did he have such a fierce gaze? Compared to those muscled men on the ground, the child before them looked more like an antisocial maniac! As such, were they here to save the hostage or to save the kidnappers?

"Juan Juan." Just as the situation was about to come to a standstill, a clear and sharp broke through the deathly quiet.

Shang Ke jumped down from Rowan's car and ran straight for Feng Juan, but he was interrupted by Rowan, "Wait, don't go over there yet."

That child's body was carrying killing intent, and it was possible that he would attack anyone that approached him while he was unaware.

Rowan's warning was still a step too slow, and by the time he reached out, Shang Ke had already ran several meters.

He cursed in his head and hurried to catch up, fearing that Shang Ke would be injured by Feng Juan.

However, what he feared didn't come to pa.s.s.

"Juan Juan," Shang Ke spoke as he opened his arms and hugged the other without hesitation.

When he heard the familiar voice and saw the familiar person, the viciousness in Feng Juan's eyes disappeared without a trace and the iron pole in his hand fell to the ground.

He bent over slightly and leaned his head on Shang Ke's shoulders. A peaceful expression slowly emerged on his face.

Feng Juan's was much bigger than Shang Ke, but at this moment, he was supported by Shang Ke like a child. Afterwards, as if relieved from a burden, he fainted in his arms…

Chapter 39: Let Me Protect You (VII)

"I don't want to eat apple. I want to eat panda," Feng Juan requested somewhat inarticulately as he lay on the hospital bed with a swollen face. It was only in front of Shang Ke that he would show such a willful appearance.

Shang Ke spoke while peeling an apple, "Okay, I'll go buy you some panda later." The panda Feng Juan wanted was actually a black and white chocolate. He liked to eat it when he had nothing to do.

Feng Juan was satisfied with his response and picked up an apple slice Shang Ke had peeled, crunching on it.

Shang Ke looked at his terrible face and felt both pained and amused. After a moment, he took his cell phone out from his pocket.

Feng Juan was immediately on guard, asking, "What are you trying to do?"

"Taking a picture as souvenir." Shang Ke opened his phone's camera.

Feng Juan immediately used his hands to cover his face and protested, "You can't do that!"

"What are you afraid of? Scars are a man's medals. The more you have, the greater your glory." Shang Ke scooted closer to him with an evil smile.

"Yeah, right! Being beaten until my face is unrecognizable, what about that is glorious?" Feng Juan covered his face and refused to budge.

"Be good and move your hands." Shang Ke continued to persuade him, "If you let me take a picture, I'll give you a kiss in return."

Feng Juan stopped struggling and parted his fingers slightly to reveal two black eyes. "Really?"

Eh? He actually wanted his "kiss"?

"Yep." Shang Ke nodded.

"Okay." Feng Juan somewhat unwillingly removed his hands and spoke cooly and elegantly, "If you want to take pictures, then take some more. One picture for one kiss."

Shang Ke couldn't help but laugh. He sat beside Feng Juan and raised his cell phone, taking a shot of the two of the together. His soft hair brushed against Feng Juan's face, leaving an itchy sensation. Feng Juan turned his head to look at Shang Ke, his eyes gentle.

Shang Ke suddenly raised his head and landed a kiss on Feng Juan's forehead, his cellphone faithfully taking a picture of the scene.

Receiving his kiss, Feng Juan felt that his wounds were worth it.

Seeing Shang Ke putting his phone away, he immediately asked, "You're taking so few? My left cheek, right cheek, nose and mouth all need pictures."

Shang Ke stared at him silently. Wanting a foot after winning an inch shouldn't be done so blatantly.

At this moment, the Ferrg couple entered the sickroom and worriedly fussed over them for a while.

The two of them both put on obedient fronts.

A short while later, Shang Ke used the excuse of going out to buy candy and disloyally abandoned Feng Juan.

He had just walked out when the smile on Shang Ke's face faded. In front of him were Rowan and a couple other unfamiliar officers.

"Shang Ke, come with us to the police department. We have some questions we need you to answer," Rowan said solemnly.

Shang Ke nodded, turning back to look at the sickroom before finally following the officers out of the hospital.

Shang Ke knew that the police would take note of him after he revealed his hacking skills. The rescue operation had only taken around three hours. His efficiency was so high that it rendered them speechless.

After the event, a police technician had a.n.a.lyzed his work. Not only had Shang Ke hacked into Star Technology's server and obtained their information, but he had also hacked into the Port of Lena's storehouse rental management office. The former was a technology company with numerous excellent programmers, while the other was a semi-official agency. Neither were places that someone could easily access, but Shang Ke, a thirteen year old child, had combed through them in a mere dozen minutes. His level was already far above normal technicians.

If they found out that Shang Ke had also hacked into the police's surveillance system, and used the Jumping Virus to monitor several peoples' cell phones, they would likely be even more shocked.

"Shang, we want to give you a test," Rowan told him.

"Programming?"

"Yes," Rowan spoke with a nod, "If you pa.s.s the test, then we hope that you will help with a police case. As you are still a minor, and it was in order to save someone, we can treat the hacking from before leniently."

The so-called police files were compilations of information for people with special skills, and who were dangerous to a degree, but have accepted the government's and police's supervision. They have guaranteed not to jeopardize society, and were occasionally dispatched by the government. Of course, it would be even better if they joined the government. However, if they did so then they would have to obtain the government's permission if they wanted to go abroad in the future.

Shang Ke had already made mental preparations, and very readily agreed to their request.

Since he had already exposed himself, he did not plan to hide anymore. During the test, he performed remarkably well, using a very small keyboard to ruthlessly awe everyone present.

A thought suddenly flashed through Rowan's mind. The reason why those people kept watching the two children might not be in order to kill them and shut their mouths, but because of Shang Ke's excellent skills.

After the test ended, Shang Ke walked on all the jaws that had fallen to the ground as he left under Rowan's escort.

Shang Ke felt that exchanging his freedom for the police's protection was worth it.

When he returned to the hospital, it was already evening. The moment Feng Juan saw him, he asked, "Where did you go? Why did you leave for so long?"

"There weren't any panda nearby, so I went to Lin City to buy it." Shang Ke threw a bag of candy to him.

"You spent seven hours buying this candy?" If he had known it would take this long, Feng Juan would rather never eat panda for the rest of his life. He had waited for Shang Ke for so long, and his calls weren't going through. He almost worried himself to death.

Based on his current reaction, Shang Ke knew that the Ferrg couple hadn't told Feng Juan anything. That was for the better, so that he wouldn't be anxious while staying at the hospital.

"Oh, right. How's the situation over at Star Technology?" Feng Juan opened the bag of candy and asked.

"Corson has been detained for now, and as for Star Technology…" Shang Ke s.n.a.t.c.hed the panda from his hand and threw it in his own mouth as he replied, "Don't worry, I already dealt with it."

After Feng Juan was sent to the hospital, Shang Ke once again hacked into Star Technology to place a trojan horse. At the same time, he revised their announcement to leave behind a message: "I came and patiently waited for five minutes but no one found me, so I left, and left a great gift while I was at it. You're welcome." The name left at the end was simple and cruel—Hacker.

Someone had quietly intruded their server and no one noticed after five minutes, and their announcement was also changed. If it was a normal company's website, then it wouldn't have mattered much, but Star Technology specialized in internet security, so no one doubted its ability. Such a company was actually easily hacked by someone, and they even left their name behind before leaving. This clearly left a sound smack to the company's face. Plus, the Corson father and son duo were both "invited to drink tea" with the police, so they were thoroughly discredited. The company's profits took a nosedive.

As the saying goes, you can provoke anyone, but you can't provoke a programmer.

After this unfortunate event, Feng Juan made a decision. "I want to register a company under Mr. Ferrg's name.

"A technology company?" Shang Ke asked.

"Yes," Feng Juan nodded and said, "Online technology makes rapid progress every day. Time is money, so the earlier we join the larger our advantage. If we only started venturing in it after becoming adults, we would likely miss many opportunities."

Shang Ke smiled as he responded, "I support you, and I believe that Mr. Ferrg will also support you."

Feng Juan revealed a smile and held Shang Ke's hand, a pa.s.sionate light flickering in his eyes. "We will venture into the industry together, and develop the best technology together."

"Okay."

Time slipped by, and four years pa.s.sed in an instant. Shang Ke and Feng Juan had entered the most famous high school in the city. The company they established was called "Mr. Bruin" (Mr. Bear, made from the combination of their English names.) and was also successful. With regards to network security, they might even surpa.s.s others in the same field.

Beside Shang Ke's "super advanced" knowledge, Feng Juan was also talented with computers, and was also a significant factor to their success. Shang Ke used his knowledge of the future, while Feng Juan used his own brain to design the new future.

In this time period, Shang Ke accepted several secret government missions, and with cooperation from both parties, the police was able to collapse Tabimu's power earlier. Now Shang Ke and Feng Juan no longer needed to worry about being threatened by them.

Shang Ke silently swept away all of their problems, and protected Feng Juan so that his life would go smoothly.

Feng Juan, who was maturing by the day, soon reached the age of love. His height, appearance, and ability caused him to stand out, and he became their high school's Mr. Perfect.

Shang Ke also became increasingly remarkable, and although he did not have a strong aura like Feng Juan, his scholarly temperament had its own charm.

The two brothers received a lot of attention, but never had girlfriends. It really left one puzzled. Many people even started betting to see whether anyone could nail one of the two.

Nowadays, Feng Juan was a bit vexed, because Shang Ke insisted on sleeping in a separate room from him.

They had grown up, and it was difficult to avoid excess hormones. Feng Juan had urges every day, and almost applied those desires from his dreams to reality. Ke Ke probably couldn't take his "pa.s.sion" anymore, and therefore wanted to sleep separately from him.

Feng Juan was firm in his decisions with other matters, and it was only his feelings towards Ke Ke that he was not honest with himself. Although Ke Ke did not refuse to be intimate with him, it was limited to regular familial interactions, and was completely different from the desires in the depths of his heart.

He feared that one day he would snap and do something harmful to Ke Ke. However, the more you tried to repress something, the harder it was to resist.

Feng Juan drove the car to the school's entrance and looked up to see Shang Ke speaking with a mature twenty-six or twenty-seven year old woman. He wore a gentle smile, and his soft, short hair waved gently as he spoke. His straight body, slender legs, and outstanding temperament made him look so dazzling.

But the reason why he appeared so dazzling was a woman.

Feng Juan's eyes dimmed and he opened the car door, walking up to him with large strides.

"Ke Ke, I'm back." Feng Juan stood beside Shang Ke, his expression icy as he sized up the blonde woman. Her chest is too big, her looks are too charming, she doesn't fit Ke Ke's tastes at all!

Ke Ke should like someone with sharp features, a somewhat muscular figure, sharp eyes, and a strong aura! (Feng Juan: That's right, I'm talking about myself.)

The blonde young woman was a bit uneasy from being stared at by Feng Juan, and left with some words of courtesy.

"Who is she?" Feng Juan asked after they got in the car.

"A friend."

"Which of your friends do I not know?" Under his constant watch, how could a fish have slipped through his net?

"I know her from online." That woman was actually a technician from the government, and they often chatted online.

"Online?" Feng Juan's face dimmed. After he clarified his feelings, he had challenged Shang Ke to computer-related matches several times, and was defeated every time. He therefore had no choice but to sign a nonaggression pact regarding each other's internet privacy.

Afterwards, he only knew about Shang Ke's online activities if he went ahead and told him himself.

"I want to violate you today," Feng Juan suddenly said.

If those words were heard by someone outside, their thoughts would certainly run astray, but Shang Ke was already used to it. Whenever this guy wanted to compete with him at hacking, he liked to use the wretched word "violate."

Shang Ke did not know that Feng Juan's actually meant his words literally.

"My hands have been sore lately, so next time." Shang Ke really did not want to compete with him anymore. Feng Juan was progressing at lightning speed, and he almost couldn't beat him anymore. In order to preserve his last bit of superiority, he could only choose to avoid a fight.

"If you don't want to be violated by me, then sleep with me," Feng Juan changed his condition.

"No!" Shang Ke did not even think before rejecting.

"Why?"

He still dared to ask him why?! Because of someone's vigorous energy, he was about to become an expert at was.h.i.+ng underwear!

Although Shang Ke had already made preparations to accept Feng Juan, he wanted to at least wait until he grew to adulthood. Plus, he still wasn't quite resolved to the idea of two men doing that kind of thing.

Did this guy believe that he didn't have any idea of his desires? His desires were about to break through his underwear, alright?

The two of them were currently dangerously close to the edge of their self-control. If they continued to sleep on the same bed, it likely wouldn't even take half a year before something happened!

He still wanted to maintain his integrity, and wait for Feng Juan to grow to adulthood.

Feng Juan was completely unaware of Shang Ke's thoughtfulness. His completely mature body was about to turn into a Ninja Turtle.[1]

Sigh…

The two of them secretly sighed in their hearts.
