CHAPTER 290

By the time Li Fengjin got home that evening, Ye Chaoxiang and Yang Chen were at his apartment. Since it was a weekend, like every other, they chose his house for the sleepover.

Li Fengjin walked into the living room and directly went to sit on one of the couches.

"Welcome, bro. Where did you go?" Ye Chaoxiang asked.

None of them knew where their friend went to. They had called him several times but he was not receiving their call. They thought he was at the base torturing those kidnappers for answers.

When they called Sheng, he told them that the body had not been going there. He would ask for any update and that was all. So, seeing the lost man found and returning home, they were curious to know.

"Finally. We have been calling you all day. Thank goodness you are back," Yang Chen said.

Li Fengjin just let out a simple 'hmm' to reply to their greetings. He was immersed in his phone. His smile had not dropped since he entered the house.

"You came in time. We want to start another movie. Grab a slice of pizza," He Chaoxiang told him.

Li Fengjin just stretched his left hand indicating for one of them to place a slice of pizza on it. Done with that, he took a bite while still looking at his phone.

"What is wrong with him?" Yang Chen asked in a whisper.

"I have no idea," Ye Chaoxiang whispered back.

Giving each other knowing glances, they stood up silently and tiptoed behind the couch Li Fengjin was sitting on. They peered at what he was looking at and they were stunned.

On Li Fengjin's phone was a picture of Bai Renxiang and Bai Xiaojin. The joy could not be mistaken on their faces. Their smile brought out their dimples.

Then, Li Fengjin swiped left on the phone and a picture of Bai Xiaojin was displayed. His body was facing forward while his head was turned back as if he was looking at something or someone.

He had a toy gun in his hands. He was too cute to ignore. Then another picture came in. In it were Li Fengjin, Bai Renxiang and Bai Xiaojin. It was a selfie taken on the Ferris wheel ride.

The view of the city behind them was spectacular. It added more thrill to the picture. Li Fengjin's smile came out real. It was something they had not seen before.

He looked so happy. Very happy. Yang Chen and Ye Chaoxiang exchanged glances and turn their focus back to the phone. This time, Li Fengjin was watching a video.

Through the pictures and the videos, Ye Chaoxiang and Yang Chen were now sure of what and where Li Fengjin had been all day. He went out with his girlfriend and his son.

"So this is where you have been?" Ye Chaoxiang said after he snatched the phone from Li Fengjin.

"What the-" Li Fengjin turned at once to see his buddies staring at him. "Can I have my phone?" He asked.

"No, you can't," Yang Chen said.

"Sigh. What do you want?" Li Fengjin asked with a bored expression?

"What do we want? Is that the question you are supposed to be asking us right now?" Ye Chaoxiang asked with a raised brow.

"Fine. What did I do?"

"First of all, where have you been?" Ye Chaoxiang asked the first question.

"Out. Why ask when you must have seen it? I know you guys were behind me the whole time," Li Fengjin claimed.

"Si? We want to hear it from you and not your phone that you have been obsessed with since you came," Yang Chen said.

"Argh! I went put with Renxiang and Xiaojin. Now hand over my phone," Li Fengjin said impatiently.

"Not yet. So you went on a family outing?" Ye Chaoxiang's question sounded like a statement.

"I am so proud of you, man," Tang Chen said with a bright smile.

"Yea and I am proud of myself. Phone, please."

"Wait. Calm down, lover boy. You will have your phone in due time. Why did you not tell us at least?"

"Hmm. You also did not take our calls. You did on purpose, did you not?" Yang Chen ashes.

"Pft... Obviously. Why would I pick any of your damn calls when I am out with the two most important people in my life?" Li Fengjin asked mockingly.

"Ouch! That hurt, bro," Yang Chen grabbed his left chest.

"And it is a family 'date'. On dates, you don't make irrelevant calls. Your attention must be on the person you are out with. Also, I did not see it necessary to tell you guys where I was going," Li Fengjin said and shrugged his shoulders.

"How many times have you guys told me you were going I a date with your girls?" He asked.

"I have told you once," Ye Chaoxiang said and Yang Chen nodded.

"Once? Like seriously? Even that once was after other dates," Li Fengjin says.

"Fine. You won this round," Yang Chen admitted defeat.

"You had better. Now, can I have my phone?" Li Fengjin stretched his palm out.

"Yes," Ye Chaoxiang said before playing the phone on his palm.

"But the reason we called was not something irrelevant," he added with a serious face.

"What was so important that it could not wait until I get back?" Li Fengjin asked.

"It is about the kidnappers," Yang Chen said.

"What about them? The last time I asked, which was two days ago, Sheng told me the men had not said anything."

"Yes. But that was until their families or loved ones were brought over," said Ye Chaoxiang.

"Finally. Why did it take them so long to find those people?" Li Fengjin asked with a slight frown.

"The kidnappers hid them well. They seem to have enough ash to do so. Anyway, we found the mastermind behind the kidnapping."

"Who?"

"It was..."
