Chapter 874 - Cant Disconnec

"Me, too!" Lu Zihao grinned. His eyes shone with excitement like a naughty kid who finally got what he wanted after a long time of begging. "Nikolai and I made an agreement. I helped him resolve an issue withahahahaso funny! He's gonna flip out if I tell you so I'll keep my mouth shut for now. The asshole can be so awkward and cute sometimes but he doesn't want to let anyone know and destroy his tough macho image. Hahaha! Besides, I don't want him going apeshit on me and not allowing me to use my body again in the future. It's so much better when the two of us are cooperating like this instead of fighting all the time. Tsk. It's so tiring to fight, you know, especially if you're sharing one body. We can't kick each other out. For now, at least. Who knows what will happen in the future?

"Anyway, like I said, that mafia boss and I have some sort of deal. In exchange for helping him, he'll let me take over my body tonight so that I can talk to you. I was so excited when he finally decided to return here at Dragon Palace! I couldn't wait to tell you that I'm still here, even if it's just a semi-alive remnant of my former self, and that we can still hang out sometimes if I get the chance to take over my body again."

There was so much information that Jin Liwei was able to grasp from his fifth brother's words. At the same time, more questions popped inside his mind. Despite his desire to ask for clarification about many things, he restrained himself because he didn't want to waste the limited time that he could spend with his fifth brother tonight. He didn't know how long Lu Zihao would be able to stay in control of the body until he ran out of energy and needed to "recharge" again like he said.

In addition, there was still Nikolai that they had to keep in mind. Who knew how long the man would allow his fifth brother free rein until he wrested back control of the body?

Therefore, Jin Liwei allowed Lu Zihao to chatter away without too much interruption. Spending time with him like this and knowing that his fifth brother was back, albeit in an unnatural existence as a remnant, was enough for Jin Liwei for now.

"I was waiting the entire day to come out and talk to you but Nikolai kept on telling me that it's not the right time yet. He said that his sister, your beautiful wife, is pregnant and I shouldn't come out in front of her without any warning or she might freak out and faint or something."

Jin Liwei nodded. "En. It's better if we let my wife know first about you before introducing the two of you to each other. I want you to meet your sister-in-law."

Lu Zihao gave a thumbs up. "Oh yeah. I want to meet your wife, too! Let's do it next time 'cuz right now...I'm starting togettired."

"So soon?" Jin Liwei frowned. An unwilling expression appeared on his face.

"Yeahsorry, Third Bro...ugh!" Lu Zihao doubled over and fell from his seat to the floor on all fours.

"Fifth Brother!" Jin Liwei immediately rushed towards Lu Zihao. He originally intended to help his fifth brother up from the floor but then Lu Zihao suddenly started having some sort of seizure.

"Stay back!" Lu Zihao snarled.

Jin Liwei knew in that instant that Nikolai was back. "No, you're going to hurt yourself if I leave you alone!"

"I said stay the fuck back!" His body thrashed on the floor while he became drenched in sweat in just a few seconds. "If Iaccidentally hurt youit'll upset my sisterugh! What the fuck, Lu Zihao?!"

Then his vicious expression turned into a sheepish one. "Haha, my bad," he said in a weak voice even as his body continued to thrash around the floor. "I don't knowwhat's happening. Can'tseem tough, disconnect that easilythis time. Ah, so tiredbut why.?"

Jin Liwei stood there frozen as he watched the incredible scene playing in front of him. He felt worried, amazed, and to be honest, a little afraid of what was happening to his fifth brother and brother-in-law right at this moment.

Then he remembered that he witnessed something similar before when his baby girl also appeared like she was battling against herself. It was when he confessed his involvement in concealing the truth behind Long Xiulan's car accident and she went crazy with fury and started attacking him.

What happened that night when she attacked him was pretty straightforward. She told him that his confession triggered Long Xiulan's remnant to awaken its grudge, thus, causing it to wrest control of her body and attack him. However, she didn't mention anything about having full conversations with Long Xiulan's remnant like what Nikolai and his fifth brother seemed to be experiencing.

He took a mental note to ask her about this point. Perhaps she could provide an insight for all of them to be able to better understand this matter regarding the remnants. But before that, he needed to figure out a way to help her Big Brother Nikolai and his Fifth Brother Lu Zihao's remnant right now.

Jin Liwei was about to call his AI children and give some instructions when Lu Zihao finally stopped thrashing on the floor. The man was completely soaked in sweat from head to toe. He was gasping as if he just survived from drowning.

"Hey. Are you okay?"

Lu Zihaono. Based from his exhausted but furious-looking expression, the one in control of the body should be Nikolai. A string of graphic curses poured out of the man's mouth.

"I knew this was a bad idea," he said. "I shouldn't have let that monkey take over for too long. It's messing with our equilibrium."

Jin Liwei frowned. "Equilibrium? Explain."

"Let me fucking breathe first!"

Jin Liwei sighed before nodding. Then he came forward and helped the other man up despite the tension between the two of them. Nikolai was still his brother-in-law, after all.
