A Suicidal Mafia Heir

-Xiu Lin, the young master of a powerful mafia organization is caught by the National Investigation team in order to take information from him regarding his father. He tries to escape... towards death.

.

-Bang!

-Bang!

Two gunshots.

The moment Xiu Lin opened his eyes on the new world, he was sitting on a bed in a small empty room with both hands cuffed.

The place was slightly cold but it was bearable. The walls were barricaded with metal and wood that is fairly impossible for him to break with barehand. The bed was cushioned but it is hard. Obviously being a low-quality bed. No windows and there isn't a single insect that could get in.

He was like a pet inside a package that offered no hole of escape. The gunshots were still on going while he sat there patiently.

'1204, tell me who I am.' he said while waiting for the fight outside his small cage.

1204 obliged, speaking through his mind happily. [Host's body belonged to a young man with an extraordinary background! He is a Mafia boss' illigitimate and only child. The heir to rule the underground business. At a young age, he had been taught in different skillsets. Martial arts, gun firing, business administration, wine tasting, communication and more in order to help him go incognito and avoid trouble while aboveground. However, the original body dated someone who happened to be an undercover agent who was tasked to keep an eye on the young heir. A handsome man with the codename Viper.

The original host fell for his charms and took care of him well despite the fact that they had the same gender, after all, the Xiu Lin of this world is bisexual. They dated but only for a brief moment.

Xiu Lin's identity was leaked out underground and a lot of other underground organizations such as fraternity and gangs started to put up ambitions. If the little master dies now, then they will naturally rule when the Big boss Xiu dies. With no other heir, the Mafia's throne will become vacant.

But the cause of the current situation is still unsure.

While on a date with Viper aka Mo Xunian, they were kidnapped and separated. The original body didn't know where they had taken Mo Xunian which worried him to risking his life to try and sneak away. Because of his stubbornness, Xiu Lin was cuffed and locked in this cell.

Since Mo Xiunian is a valuable asset to the intelligence, a rescue operation was set for him. Agents participated in the rescue operations and is now embarking through the enemy headquarters to save him. He was saved, but to a cause of an arm from protecting Xiu Lin from a gunshot.

They were taken to the headquarters where Xiu Lin found out that Mo Xunian was only fooling him for information. Unable to throw a fit of anger or cry to the one who deceived him due to his recovering injury, Xiu Lin was thrown into the interrogation department where he was questioned.

He was beaten up for the sake of talking yet the young man said nothing. In the end, Mo Xunian's colleagues found out the reason for his missing arm. His most loyal friend forced his way to Xiu Lin's cell and beat him with a rod until he died.]

[Task 1: Take over the family business.

Task 2: Change the underground

Task 3: Have a love life]

The information dinged in Xiu Lin's head after it was done.

His nose wrinkled. 'So... this world offered me a boyfriend. doesn't that basically make my task of having a love life pass?' he asked.

[Host, Mo Xunian is dating you because he was undercover.]

'Bah, men.'

[Host, you're a man too.]

'I know. I'm not blind.'

The system was dragged into silence as he grew another army of mushrooms on the side. It didn't take long before the small closed room slammed open, The light outside made the young man squint his eyes as the bigger man made wide strides that it only took three steps to reach the young master.

In the memory provided, this person is Mo Xunian. His pseudo boyfriend. Xiu Lin stood up and looked at him, his clothes torn, showing the generous amount of muscles given to the chosen ones. He was full of bruises and there were still remnants of blood wiped away from his chin.

"Are you okay?" Xiu Lin decided to ask.

Mo Xunian looked at him seriously then to the shackles on his wrist that stuck together by the chain. He grabbed the chain and dragged Xiu Lin coldly outside the small cell. Xiu Lin had to run because of his fast and insensitive strides, trying his best not to trip as they bypassed many dead bodies.

"Xunian, what happened?" Xiu Lin asked again in a whispering manner.

The man still ignored him and continued to walk while pulling him from the chain. The dragging was a bit painful, causing an obvious bruising on his wrist which made Xiu Lin displeased. He wanted to pull himself back but he also didn't want to delay much other than verballing his concerns. But since he was ignored twice, he no longer had the heart to say anything.

The hallways were quiet with all bodies lying bloody on the floor. But when they reached the halls, gunshots began to be exchanged from different directions.

Xiu Lin watched Mo Xunian joined the exchange. He held the gun from one hand and to Xiu Lin's chain on the other. Xiu Lin looked around as well, waiting for the said 'event' where he will become the cause of Mo Xiunian losing his arm.

Since it's a gun, wouldn't it kill him? Let's die with a gunshot then.

The young man, whose mind was muddled with suicide vigilantly protected Mo Xiunian's back--in order to catch that gunshot and say goodbye to this world.

It didn't take long before he saw it. On the upper floor, there was a person holding a gun, pointing it not to him, but to Mo Xunian. This made Xiu Lin frown. Wasn't he supposed to be the target?

But who cares. Xiu Lin timed the scenario. He focused on the hitman on the upper floor while closing himself to Xunian who was busily exchanging gunshots to the enemy. His colleagues were in different areas as well, trying to lessen the number of lackeys in the exit.

And finally.

"Xunian--huk--!" Xiu Lin saw the gunman fired and so he took the opportunity to block the shot. Facing Mo Xunian, Xiu Lin was pushed by the bullet that hit his back. The pain immediately crawled into his back as blood made its way out of his mouth. The Gun being stuck between his bones. "ow..."

"Xiu Lin!" Mo Xunian was surprised, looking up to the source of the shot and fired an accurate shot to the hitman straight to his forehead which killed him instantly.

After that, he leaned down and held the young man properly as to not touch the injury to his back. Xiu Lin twitched from the pain. He wanted to reach out to his back but his cuffed hand prevented him from doing so. He could only sweat coldly and lean his own body to Mo Xunian's sturdy shoulders.

"It kinda hurts..." he mumbled with trembling voice.

"Why did you do that, you fool?" The gunshots finally dissipated. Mo Xunian removed what's left of his buttoned shirt and placed it to the young man's back.

"Viper! We're retreating!" one of his colleagues called out. "The entrance is cleared."

Mo Xunian acquiesced. He placed one arm around Xiu Lin's shoulders and the back of his knees before lifting him up.

"--ugh" Xiu Lin yelped from the pain, tears began to form on the side of his eyes looking very pitiful.

Xunian's eyes darkened as he watched his 'boyfriend' tried to suppress the pain, involuntarily curling even smaller. "Endure it a little more. We'll take you to a doctor." He said, his cold face just now made opposite to how his voice had softened.

"...No..." Xiu Lin mumbled.

Doctor? Who needs that? Let me bleed to death!

"They're only after me... just, leave me here. You'll just... get, uh... involved." The young man hardly said the words as if he was struggling to learn it.

Another rain of gunshots began to emerge from behind when they passed by the entrance door. From the entrance, there was another yard and in front of that yard is where the other agents are waiting.

"Be quiet. We'll be out soon." Now his tone became colder.

Xiu Lin looked at him with blurring lavender eyes. He frowned at him. "Xu-nian, just--" the young man coughed out blood again.

What the fuck! Where the heck did they shot him? What's with this exaggerated blood cough?!

"I told you to stop talking." Mo Xunian was getting impatient and panicked.

"They just... want to kill me, okay? You can just leave." The weak voice still protested. But soon, Xiu Lin finally felt the consequences of his bloodloss. His head felt dazed and his consciousness gradually left, only leaving a weak delicate young man whose eyes were tamely closed.

He held the young man firmly and quickened his pace until he reached the gate and got into the van successfully avoiding the others.

"Alright! We're leaving!" the group cheered and sped off. Behind them, the entire building exploded...

"Viper, isn't that your S-class target?" from the back of the van, Hawk: another agent, peeked on the middle seat and looked at the young man Mo Xunian was carrying.

"Oh, the mafia heir? Why is he here?" agent Panther, another person from the passenger seat turned to look at the young man asleep in his colleague's arms.

Mo Xunian's eyes visibly darkened as he looked at those closed eyes. The curly long silvery-white lashes shaded his under eyes. "He just got involved." he explained.

"But it's not bad. Let's take him back to the base and interrogate him for more information." Salamander, who was on the driver's seat also suggested.

"Yeah. Then what after? Silence him?" Hawk asked.

"Why not? He's the heir. If he's gone, underground collapses. End of story." Salamander replied.

"Wow. I'm surprised an idiot like you joined the intelligence." Panther said.

"After he's recovered. He was shot." Mo Xunian said seriously.

"Oh. Then we'll have to go straight to Phoenix's lab. Since he's the doctor and all."

"Yeah, the doctor quack." the group chorused.

Laughter filled the van as they sped away through the empty roads, disappearing into the cloak of many other vehicles that piled up in traffic that evening.
