'Ah!……'

          In the luxurious bedroom, a man and a woman making love passionately on the bed.

          The obese man of about sixty years old was mustering all his strength to forge forward to satisfy the demands of the woman beneath him who was half his age.  The woman lived up to his expectation and let out a lustful cry.  But no one knows whether she was really satisfied or was just a professional to meet the situation.

          In the dark, a pair of cold eyes looked chillingly towards the hot and excited man on the bed.

          The owner of the pair of cold eyes stroked the gun in his hands contemplating whether he should make the move at this time.  After thinking for a moment, he turned away his head and decided to let the man on the bed indulge in his passion for a little while longer.

          Let him enjoy a few more minutes of blessings!

          Less than five minutes later, the sixty-year-old man finally climaxed and the woman lying beneath him cried out.  "Ah!  President Ruan, you are very good……I can’t take it anymore!"

          "Now you realize my strength!  Well, let me tell you.  Even though I have aged but my skill is still the same as when I was in my prime!"   The sixty-year-old Ruan Da Peng laughed proudly and put his hands on the woman's chest to knead her breasts. 

          "Yes, yes!  Now Nana knows how great you are!"

          Then the woman Nana grabbed her bathrobes and got up from the bed.  With her back towards Ruan Da Peng, her face immediately darkened…..let it be!

          Nana walked into the bathroom, closed the door and turned on the shower.  Then she started to wash her body while she hummed a song.

          Ruan Da Peng was resting comfortably on the bed with his eyes closed and was unaware that someone was slowly approaching him.  The moment he sensed a cloud of cold air surrounding him, his eyes instantly flew opened.  His intuition was right! 

          There was someone standing beside his bed!

          The man was dressed in black, about thirty years old with a handsome face and had an extremely cold appearance.  He knew this man came with ill intention and was about to shout when a gun was held against his forehead. 

          "Don’t make a sound!"  The man said coldly and he shivered.

          "You……who are you?"  Ruan Da Peng asked and his lips were trembling violently.

          "Lone Wolf."

          "No….it can’t be!"

          Ruan Da Peng had heard of the name Lone Wolf and knew he was an assassin who kills without blinking but did not know why Lone Wolf was here to seek him out.

          Few people had seen Lone Wolf because it was said that nine out of ten people who saw him would not be alive and the one that was lucky to escape did not have the courage to identify him.  So the appearance of him was a mystery and now Ruan Da Peng had the privilege to see Lone Wolf in person but he did not feel honored.

          The appearance of Lone Wolf meant death and that would mean Ruan Da Peng would die soon!

          No……he does not want to die!

          "You……want to kill me?"

          Lone Wolf looked at him coldly as if he had asked an irrelevant question.

          "Don’t…....don’t…...ah!"  Ruan Da Peng's face turned pale.  "We don’t have any hatred or animosity between us…..why do you want to kill me?"

          "You should hinder the way of others!"  Lone Wolf coldly answered.

          "Who did I hinder?"  Was it the project that he recently tendered for?

          Lone Wolf did not answer but coldly stared at him.  His thumb slowly cocked his gun and the sound could be heard clearly in the quiet room. 

          "Don’t kill me, I don’t want to die!"  Ruan Da Peng climbed down from the bed and knelt on the floor, crying and begging.  "Tomorrow is my wife's birthday and if I die, she will be very sad……please don’t kill me…..spare my life!"

          Lone Wolf frowned and the hand holding the gun stopped.  A trace of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

          Should he spare Ruan Da Peng's life for his wife's birthday?

          "Dear, do you want to come in and bathe with me?"

          Nana's seductive voice was heard calling from the bathroom.  Ruan Da Peng instantly turned pale and dared not reply.

          Lone Wolf's eyes squinted and quickly returned to his original cold expression.  He smiled wickedly as his index finger pulled the trigger without hesitation.

          Even if Ruan Da Peng was telling the truth, it was still an inexcusable crime for him to cheat on his wife a day before her birthday!

          The bullet fired from the silencer went straight into the forehead of Ruan Da Peng and before he could even utter a sound, his body slowly slumped onto the floor like a mud-clay doll.

          "Hey, my dear, did you hear me?"

          Ruan Da Peng's legs stiffened and he could no longer hear Nana's call.

          Lone Wolf looked down coldly on his dead body and in a few seconds he had kept his gun away as he turned away indifferently.

          He avoided the heavily guarded door at the front and escaped through the back door into the dark alley.

          He was just out of the back door when a woman's sharp screams sounded from the house.

          "Ah ! ! !….."

          He did not turn his head and continued walking into the dark of the night.

          Lone Wolf walked through the long alley towards his black sports car parked at the end of the alley.  A smiling light, gentle voice floated through the night wind.

          "Settled so soon?"

          Lone Wolf's whole body stiffened and quickly took out his short gun.  He narrowed his sharp eyes and like a radar, he scanned his surroundings to locate the person hiding in the vicinity.

          "I'm here!"

          Fan Tian Yi opened the door of Lone Wolf's black sports car and casually waved at him.

          "I'm cold.  Do you mind inviting me to come inside to take a seat?"  He lifted up his pair of freezing hands and sneezed.

          "You are already sitting in the car without invitation!"  Lone Wolf answered without any warmth.

          Seeing that Lone Wolf was still clutching his gun, Fan Tian Yi quickly said with a smile.  "Don’t get tensed up, put down the gun!"

          He was not here specifically to provoke Lone Wolf!

          "Why are you here?  Want to stop me from killing Ruan Da Peng?  Unfortunately, you are too late.  He is already dead."

          When Lone Wolf saw that Fan Tian Yi had no intention of springing a surprise on him, he carefully put down his gun but kept his guard.

          "I know!  Ruan Da Peng was rich and corrupt and had cheated a lot of people of their hard-earned money.  Eliminating him is also good.  Killing one corrupt official means one less."

          "So, you are here to especially thank me?"  Lone Wolf stared weirdly at Fan Tian Yi.

          Lone Wolf really hated to deal with this guy.  It made him feel like he was rolling in a mud pool, covered with smelly mud.

          "Of course not!"  Fan Tian Yi pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and smiled.  "I came to talk to you about a transaction….."

          "I'm not interested!"

          Before Fan Tian Yi could finish his words, Lone Wolf had rejected him.

          "Don’t refuse so fast!  Why don’t you listen to what interesting news I want to sell to you?"

          "No matter what news you want to sell to me, I am not interested!"  Lone Wolf opened the car door and sat into the driver seat.  He glared coldly at Fan Tian Yi, indicating that he should leave the car. 

          "You are a difficult man to communicate with!"  Fan Tian Yi touched his nose and said.  "How about this?  In order to show my sincerity in doing business with you, I'll send you a picture as a sample.  What do you say?"

          "I don’t want anything from you!"

          They were both sworn enemies and no matter what Fan Tian Yi wanted to send him, he was not going to take from him. 

          "Otherwise, you can just take a look!  You will not suffer any loss by taking a look!  I personally guarantee that it is definitely not an obscene picture!"   Fan Tian Yi laughingly took out a photo from his shirt pocket and shoved it in front of Lone Wolf.

          "Please, take a look!"

          Impatiently, Lone Wolf turned his head to glance at the photo sideways with the intention to just take a glimpse only but as soon as his glance fell on the photo, he could no longer move away his eyes.

          There was nothing special about the colored photo.  It was just an ordinary photo showing a young beautiful woman carrying a little boy about 4 years old in her arms.  The photo showed the two of them smiling happily. 

          Lone Wolf stared at the little boy in the photo and was shocked by the similarity between him and the boy.

          Looking at the picture, he had the illusion that he was looking into a mirror.  The difference was only in their age and the little boy was the spitting image of himself when he was young!

          But the little boy's eyes were so pure, unlike his childhood when he had experienced pain and fear.

          How could there be a child that looked so much like him!  Is it ……

          "It's such a beautiful picture of the mother and her four-year-old son.  If you really like it, I can sell you more……Hey!  Lone Wolf…….!"

          Fan Tian Yi had not finished talking when Lone Wolf kicked him out of the car.

          After closing the car door with force, Lone Wolf started the engine and roared away in his car.

          "Hey, what is the matter with you?!"

          By the time, Fan Tian Yi got up on his feet, he was shrouded in a cloud of dust.

          "Pooh!  Pooh!"  Fan Tian Yi used the back of his hands to wipe off the sand on his mouth and muttered angrily.  "If you don’t want to buy, then don’t buy!  Why push me off the car?  Well, if you come back to seek my help to investigate the whereabouts of the mother and child, then I'll make you pay double for it!"

          It was well-known that he, Fan Tian Yi always remember any wrongs done to him!

          He let out a cold humph and angrily stomped down the wintery cold street in desolation.

          As he drove on the northern expressway, Lone Wolf looked straight ahead coldly.  Stepping his right foot on the accelerator he speeded down the deserted road.

          He could not believe that 'she' dared to hide his child from him!

          'She' thought it was alright if she stays hidden?  No matter how he would find 'her' even to the extent of turning over the earth, he did not care!

          Let 'her' wait for it!

         

          "Ha….jiu!" (sneeze)

          In the midst of reading the contents of a letter, Ye Ruwei's body suddenly turned cold and could not help but sneeze.

          She rubbed her red nose and wondered if she was about to have a cold.

          "What's wrong?"

          Qi Wei stopped working and lifted his eyebrows at his competent secretary that the former Chairman of the Board of Directors had transferred to him. 

          She is a good secretary who is capable, careful and gentle.  When he just took over his father-in-law's company, she had helped him a lot.  If not for her, he would definitely be like a handicap and badly bruised from the heavy workload.

          "It's nothing!"  Ye Ruwei quickly shook her head and asked.  "President, the letter that you want to send to Mr. Benton of United States…..are these the contents of the letter?"

          "That’s right.  Oh yes,…. Mr. Zhou of the Hong Kong shipping company will be coming to Taiwan.  Remember to send someone to pick him up from the airport."

          "Yes, I remember."

          "And the last point……"  Qi Wei bent over and retrieved a gift-wrapped box from under his desk and handed it to Ye Ruwei.

          "A few days ago, when I was on a business trip to Singapore, I bought this at an airport duty-free shop.  I find it quite interesting and bought it for your son."

          "President, why did you……"  Ye Ruwei was moved and felt embarrassed.  "This is too costly!  President also has a son, why not…….."

          "My son is too young and will not be able to play with such a complex toy.  Your son's age is just right and this toy is suitable for him."

          "Then, thank you, President."   Ye Ruwei accepted the gift gracefully.

          "Your son is called Qi An, right?"   Qi Wei suddenly asked.

          "Ah…..yes….."

          Ye Ruwei began to feel uneasy and did not know why the President suddenly asked about her son.

          "In fact, it's nothing but I just happen to be upgraded to the status of a 'father'.  I feel awkward taking care of children and in future, I may need your help.  I hope you will give me some valuable advice."   Qi Wei said bashfully.

          Ye Ruwei breathed a sigh of relief.  "Of course, if you really need my help, I will certainly do my best for President."

          "Thank you!  You can get back to work.  Prepare the letter to Mr. Benton and remember to fax the letter before you leave."

          "Alright!"

          Holding the gift box, Ye Ruwei left the President's room and went back to her place.  After she put the box under her desk, she switched on her computer ready to start work.

          After typing two sentences, she thought for a while then could not help but pick up the box under her desk.  She tore off the wrapping paper and took a look at the toy.

          After tearing away the wrapping paper, there was a transparent PVC box.  Inside the box was a silver beam gun used by space warriors which was colorful and innovatively styled with many cool new features.  She had read news reports about the popularity of this toy which caused a wave of frenzy buying when it was launched in the market.

          She knew her son would love this toy but……

          Ye Ruwei frowned and looked at the silver beam gun in her hands.

          She does not like guns!

          She opened the PVC box, put the sliver beam gun back into the slot of the PVC box and carefully sealed the box.

          She did not want her child to develop a killing instinct and a ferocious personality from childhood.  She did not want her child to have his hands full of blood with his whole life bearing the stigma of a killer.  Just like his…….

          "Secretary Ye!........"

          With one arm holding her white, fat baby son and the other hand carrying two lunch boxes, Sun Yu Han walked into the President's office. 

          "Mrs. President!"  Ye Ruwei quickly pushed her chair backward and stood up as she exclaimed.  "Why are you here?"

          "It's already noon, so  I came to have lunch with Qi Wei.  He has not been home for a week because of the company!"

          "Yes, it's really hard on the President.  The old President should have given President some time to adjust before he left."

          "My father had made plans to retire early and wanted to officially hand all the work over to his son-in-law.  My father planned it this way."

          It was not that Sun Yu Han did not understand her father but she is only his daughter, so what can she say?  It was really hard on the President!

          "The President is now in his room but he has an appointment at half-past one in the afternoon with the President of Jun De Industries."

          "I know, I will not delay his afternoon appointment."

          Smiling, Sun Yu Han carried her babbling baby son and walked into Qi Wei's room.

          Ye Ruwei watched as Sun Yu Han and her baby leave and could not help but think of her four-year-old son, Ye Qi An.

          She opened the drawer, took out her son's photo then silently looked at her greatest pride with a proud and pleased smile……her baby!

          At present, her only wish was to work hard, save some money and give her child a good and stable living environment.  She does not want anything else other than that.

          She had long given up that romantic love.  Maybe it would be best not to think about it……
