For a moment, Rose felt that there was a deep sense of desolation and melancholy in the side figure of Burke, who was sitting on the driver's seat.
She shook her head hard, telling herself that it was all her illusion.
Burke observed Tina's mood from the rearview mirror and found that she had gradually calmed down. Then he started the car and drove out of the parking lot.
"Why are you at the Bureau of civil affairs?" Rose broke the silence and asked in confusion.
"Come out to deal with some property rights. The property registration center is next to the city hall." Said Burke.
"Then why do you park your car in the parking lot of the Civil Affairs Bureau?" 'is it really a coincidence?' Rose wondered? Just at that moment, Mandy attacked them because of Burke. And Burke showed up in time to save the scene.
"The property ownership registration center is full, so we have to park at the Civil Affairs Bureau. When we come out, we meet you." Burke explained.
Hearing that, Rose said nothing more. Maybe it was such a coincidence in this world. It was just like her encounter with Burke in Qinshan Town twelve years ago, and their ridiculous contractual marriage, just like his sweetheart was also called "Amy".
In a small and shabby farmhouse in the suburb, there were two single beds. Rocky and Tim were covered in gauze all over the body. Dark red blood oozed from gauze, forming a mottled map.
Tim with one eye covered, and because of the pain of the wound, he groaned from time to time, which made Rocky, who had endured the severe pain all over his body, feel more irritable.
"Stop it!" Rocky shouted at Tim.
"Rocky... Rocky... one of my eyes was blind that I couldn't bear the pain." Then Tim gave a sob.
"Damn it!" Tim's cry made Rocky Chen even more irritated and could not help cursing.
Suddenly, the old door was opened. A thin man with a pair of wings tattoo on his hand walked in. The man gently placed two bowls of rice covered with vegetable on the low chairs near Rocky and Tim's bed.
"Rocky, it's time for lunch." The man with tattoo said to Rocky with respect.
Before Rocky could answer, a man's voice came from outside. "Ian, don't talk to him anymore. Just put the food on the table. Come out and have lunch."
Ian was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He hadn't been here for a long time. So he hadn't seen much of such scenes. And his hostility was less than other members. Ian had always respected Rocky. In his eyes, Rocky was a man who was decisive and ruthless. He had a certain reputation in the gang, and the leader thought highly of him. Nowadays, Ian couldn't bear to see Rocky like this.
