Heaven’s Shadow

Of course, the fat man is Lao Ma.

Lao Ma stood among the crowd, his face full of worry as he watched Lu Chen being captured by the Su family. As someone involved in covert operations, he was very well-informed. During the time from when the Su family clashed with Lu Chen on the bustling street to the moment they were about to enter the Su residence, he had already gathered enough information about the situation.

Lao Ma arrived directly and saw the scene of pushing and beating in front of the Su residence. His face was as dark as water, his pupils slightly constricted. When someone bumped into him while trying to push forward, he didn’t even react, his gaze fixed solely on Lu Chen.

Then, when Lu Chen was being escorted to the front of the Su residence and the doormen came out to talk to Su Qian, Su Wen, and the others, Lao Ma glanced back briefly.

In that fleeting moment, their gazes met in mid-air.

Lao Ma’s lips twitched slightly. After taking a deep breath, he took a step forward. But at that moment, Lu Chen suddenly shook his head lightly.

Lao Ma immediately stopped, standing rigidly like a pillar, even though his eyes revealed an indescribable pain and anger. His hands, hidden in his wide sleeves, were clenched into fists, with his nails digging into his flesh, leaving deep white marks.

Their eyes spoke silently, as if both men, amidst the crowded scene, were like solitary shadows in this world.

Life at this point seemed like a fleeting mark in the years, or a distant and meaningless sigh.
