Chapter 20

“Come with me . ” An Chen Ran reminded Feng Ge who stood beside him .

“If you’re inviting me for a soak in the spa, then you pressed the button for the wrong floor . ” Ran Feng Ge playfully smiled and pointed below, towards the 15th floor . “That’s where we should be . ”

“I didn’t think you would be interested in the spa . ” An Chen walked ahead and opened the door to room 2010 . He glanced back and asked to the other, who had not taken a single step, “What’s wrong? Are you afraid?”

“Of course not . ” Ran Feng Ge lightly stepped over .

The lighting in the room was dim, but it was enough for Ran Feng Ge to see its layout as well as the places where a person could hide .

He glanced around the room, it seemed as if An Chen didn’t have any tricks planned . Reassured, he stepped inside .

An Chen closed the door and walked to the desk sitting in front of the huge, floor-to-ceiling windows . He pulled out a chair and said, “Sit . ”

Ran Feng Ge strolled over and plopped down into the chair . “Can we get to the main point of this now?”

“I did a background check on you . ” An Chen sat opposite to him . The minute he opened his mouth, those words popped out .

Raising an eyebrow, Ran Feng Ge broke into laughter . “I thought you already had, two years ago . ”

An Chen rested his elbows on the desk between them and brought his palms together . With an unfathomable smile, he answered, “You’re right, I did a check on you two years ago . To be more specific, the check we did recently was not on you, but your two friends who own that bar . ”

“And then? Are you going to threaten me?” Ran Feng Ge said indifferently .

“No, no, no! How can you say it like that? No matter what else, I did call you older brother for two years . ” An Chen pushed the papers lying on the desk towards him . “The pile on the left is the information on your friends, which I guess you aren’t interested in . Why don’t you just look at the pile on the right, as it has information on the job I want you to do . ”

Leaning against his chair, Ran Feng Ge draped an arm across the back of it . He didn’t bother glancing at the piles of papers; instead he asked directly, “Why don’t you just give it to me straight? What is it you want me to do?”

An Chen ignored the other man’s somewhat rude behavior . A dangerous light flashed across his eyes, and he lowered his voice, “I want you to continue to play as my older brother An Mu . ”

Ran Feng Ge chuckled and replied, “I’m very sorry . I’ve already taken on a job, so I’m afraid I can’t accept yours . ”

“Drop it, I’ll help you pay the penalty fee . ” An Chen insisted .

Ran Feng Ge straightened up . Then, imitating the other, he propped his elbows on the desk and put his palms together . With a smile on his lips, he asked, “May I ask why you’re giving me a job?”

“Lan Kuang is interested in you . Wait, let me rephrase that, he’s interested in the An Mu you played . ” An Chen emphasized the last point, “Meaning the An Mu you acted as two years ago, not my real older brother An Mu . Understand?”

So Lan Kuang was interested in one of the characters he’d played a few years ago .

That was why An Chen couldn’t afford to give his brother, a thorn in his side, to Lan Kuang to play with .

One of the reasons was that, if he did give his brother away, An Chen wouldn’t be able to order the obedient An Mu around . Another was that, if they were together long enough, Lan Kuang would certainly see through the real An Mu .

“What’s in it for you?” Ran Feng Ge asked sharply .

“That’s something you don’t need to know . ” An Chen cleverly evaded the question .

Ran Feng Ge smiled . “While I’m dressed up as An Mu, you plan on secretly taking a picture of Lan Kuang and me together . Then, with his help as the leader of Chasing Hawk, you intend on eliminating your competitors . With that, the An family’s inheritance would all belong to you . Am I right?”

“No wonder you’re the golden body double . Your brain is also top class!” An Chen’s smile was treacherous . “Since you’ve already figured out my intentions, will you accept my offer or not?”

“Not interested!” Ran Feng Ge coldly replied . “I’ve already told you, I don’t want to be involved in your family’s disputes again . Don’t come looking for me anymore!”

His sentence hardly finished, Ran Feng Ge picked up on an almost indiscernible sound . He felt a rush of air rushing towards him . Instinctively, he dodged backwards, taking the chair with him .

He wasn’t prepared for An Chen’s unexpected attack . Although he dodged, he still got stabbed in the side by the dagger that had suddenly appeared from beneath the desk .
