Chapter 184

184. Reunion with an Old Friend

“Long separated.” Wen Han smiled disdainfully, “Isn’t it normal to split up and get back together?”

“Indeed.”

Lin Na was not surprised by Wen Han’s breakup. After all, breaking up and getting back together were common nowadays, especially for someone like Wen Han.

Besides, she never had high hopes for them anyway. That Su Zeheng didn’t seem like the type to stay with Wen Han for long.

Still, such matters were awkward, so she changed the subject: “Where are you going tomorrow?”

“To help Little Yuan enroll in school. Also… I need to report back to the company.”

“Oh, right.” Wen Han’s mother recalled something, “Ah Han, you haven’t told us what you’re doing now.”

All eyes except Little Yuan’s turned to her.

Wen Han remained calm, “You’ll know once I get my documents.”

…

Pfft!

A white light flashed, making it impossible to see any traces.

The smoke gradually dissipated, revealing a bloodied figure standing there, thrashing about.

“Huuu—!”

The figure exhaled the smoke from its mouth. Su Zeheng wiped the blood off his cheek and pressed the cigarette butt onto the bloodied face.

He turned to leave, and the bloodied figure collapsed with a thud, turning into smoke.

Snap!

Lighting a lighter as he flipped out the window.

He landed just as he finished exhaling a puff of smoke.

“Captain?!” The black-clad men quickly turned around at the sound.

Su Zeheng silently smoked and walked out of the alley, stopping and coldly saying, “I’ll only wait for you one minute.”

“Captain?”

“59.”

“Let’s go—!”

Exchanging glances, the two black-clad men hurriedly turned and ran towards where Su Zeheng had gone.

With his eyes closed and smoking, Su Zeheng stood quietly in the corner, lightly tapping his forehead as if deep in thought.

…

Recycling Station 777.

“Is this her?”

The photo of Wen Han was casually thrown on the table.

Across from Lin Wuju, a man in a black leather jacket put his hands behind his back and smirked.

“A small witch who managed to fool all of you back then?”

“An Xi, Wen Han isn’t an ordinary witch.”

“Born a witch!” The man named An Xi turned around, “Of course I know that. Otherwise, His Highness wouldn’t have sent me here to help you.”

“In the past year, the Light Magic Society has slowly regained its strength,” Lin Wuju shook his head, “Instead of discussing those who have left, we should talk about how to help His Highness break through the final seal.”

“It won’t be long now.”

A smile flashed across An Xi’s face as he lifted his head arrogantly.

He raised his hand, holding several cards with information on them.

“Now, the Light Mages in Star River City are just a bunch of kids. I not only plan to harvest souls but also to severely damage the Light Magic Society again! I want to make Star River City entirely under the domain of the Recycling Station!”

“…May your wishes come true.”

Lin Wuju silently watched him, smiling slightly and clapping.

…

“Mom, hug!”

“Okay~”

Wen Han reluctantly picked up her daughter and pushed open the door of the barbecue restaurant.

The four of them left the place they had been eating at for a long time and headed toward the distance.

“Captain, where are we going now?”

As their figures moved further away, three black-clad men quickly walked down the sidewalk behind them.

Su Zeheng did not respond; instead, he turned and walked into the store.

The two subordinates looked confused but quickly followed.

“You’ve worked hard too.”

Noticing there was no sign prohibiting smoking in the store, Su Zeheng lit another cigarette.

“Eat whatever you want, I’m treating.”

“!” The two subordinates immediately grinned, “Thank you, Captain!”

“There are fifteen more samples, so you only have an hour to eat.” While smoking, Su Zeheng opened an empty cigarette box.

The subordinates noticed this and sighed, “Boss, you should smoke less, it’s bad for your health.”

Su Zeheng slowly raised his head.

His icy gaze made the subordinates quickly close their mouths.

But the next second, he faintly smiled and threw the cigarette box onto the table with a snap.

“It’s a habit, can’t quit.” Finished speaking, he raised his hand, “Hello, could you please bring me a few bottles of beer, thank you.”

Knowing that their captain had the habit of drinking to stay awake, the two subordinates exchanged glances.

They watched as Su Zeheng drank half a large glass of beer in one go, both shaking their heads.

“To be honest, Captain, I really don’t understand why people like alcohol.”

“Yeah, I can’t get used to it either, I don’t drink.”

Two young graduates nodded in agreement.

It seemed like they saw themselves in the past in these two, or perhaps they remembered something.

Su Zeheng faintly smiled, but only silently watched the remaining liquid before finishing it in one gulp.

…

On the dark ground, fallen bodies lay scattered.

Blurry shadows gradually faded away.

In a dim alleyway.

Mockery, pain, madness, cigarettes, alcohol, drugs…

Images flashed through his mind incessantly, each sleepless night filled with tossing and turning.

Whoosh!

Su Zeheng suddenly opened his eyes, straightening up abruptly.

“Hmm?”

His gaze swept over, noticing the two subordinates looking at him.

“Captain, you had another nightmare?”

Su Zeheng did not answer, but silently glanced at his watch: “Have you finished eating?”

“Not quite done yet.”

The subordinates barely finished speaking when he stood up: “Let’s go, find the next target.”

…

Light Magic Society.

“Uncle Fat, how do we… handle this?”

A rather nervous young man scratched his head embarrassedly.

The fat man opposite him sighed and hit him on the head with a book, “HPDA, did you already forget? It’s been a month since you started working here!”

The young man stuck out his tongue and turned to continue working.

But as he turned his head, he suddenly stopped, pointing at the office entrance, “Hello? May I ask who you’re looking for?”

“Hmm?” The fat man was taken aback.

Curiously, he turned his head at the same time a knock on the door sounded.

“Hi~”

Holding Little Yuan with his left hand and lightly tapping the door with his right hand, Wen Han smiled, “Long time no see, Uncle Fat.”

…

Light Magic Society.

“You… stayed at headquarters for a year?”

Watching Xiao Liu playing games with the younger members of the Light Magic Society, his attention was drawn away.

Finally, Uncle Fat could speak freely, “That’s the new guy, call him Xiao Liu.”

Wen Han looked around, “Everyone else has left?”

“They’ve all left.” Uncle Fat shrugged, “Thanks to you, the Light Magic Society branch in Star River City underwent personnel changes, and only I stayed behind.”

Wen Han stuck out her tongue, “Uncle Fat, I’m now a member of the Light Magic Society.”

“Welcome.” Uncle Fat sighed helplessly.

He “hated” this woman in front of him, but he understood he should let go long ago.

“The higher-ups have said that from now on, you’ll intern here and follow us on missions.”
