REDPEAFOWL, Chapter 15: Memory Lane
Four years ago, Lu Yipeng had just joined the police force, having been appointed for just over a year. He was assigned to investigate the disappearance of Zhang Jiang, the former secretary of the Ministry of Public Security of mainland China, who had resigned before disappearing mysteriously, amidst allegations of budget corruption in the procurement of military equipment during the time the official held the position. The Chinese government at that time coordinated with the Hong Kong police force to help investigate the case. It was rumored that Zhang Jiang’s disappearance might be related to an old triad group with a long history of almost thirty years, who called themselves Red Peafowl.
The police officer previously assigned to this case disappeared without a trace for almost a week. He was found again in a public park. With his limbs and feet cut off and after recovering, he kept repeating the words “Red Peafowl” all the time.
As the top-ranking student with the highest overall scores in his graduating class, Lu Yipeng was determined to fully investigate this case. Starting with tracing the companies holding shares in the name of Red Peafowl, and following the trail of Hong Kongque’s private car registration number, he succeeded in stealthily entering the man’s residence. However, he faced the trap set up to catch intruders and the skilled servants who were proficient in martial arts, until the bodyguards of Hong Kongque, who were skilled in martial arts, were able to catch him.
Lu Yipeng had planned to let himself be caught. In order to directly encounter the Red Peafowl boss, if he could handle the boss, the younger ones wouldn’t dare to do anything, but things went terribly wrong. He encountered Red Peafowl for the first time, tied up like a prisoner, unable to even touch the man, not even with a fingernail. To preserve his life and complete the mission assigned to him, Lu Yipeng bravely wrote the letters “Hong Kongque” on his left calf using hot iron that glowed red. The intense pain from the heat almost made the young police officer lose consciousness several times while writing those letters, but with determination, Lu Yipeng completed all the letters before passing out, still holding the hot iron.
…
The young police officer didn’t know how long he had been unconscious, but when he woke up, he felt a heavy headache. The dimly lit ceiling, the faint light from a nearby lamp, he tried to move and found himself tied up with something.
After regaining consciousness, Lu Yipeng realized that he was lying on a narrow bed in a small, dimly lit room, with an ancient lamp placed beside him, and it was turned on. He wasn’t wearing clothes, just covered with a white linen sheet, giving the feeling of being buried like a corpse.
Was he still in the darkness under Hong Kongque’s control, or was this something else happening to him?
Lu Yipeng pondered for a moment while lying there. Then he heard the sound of a door opening. The young police officer looked up immediately and met a tall man with scars all over his face, starting from the roots of his hair down to his nose. When confronted with that intimidating light, he felt as if he were facing some kind of ghostly apparition. Behind the man, there were two more men following him. Lu Yipeng’s vision was still blurry, but the doctor didn’t say a word and went straight to remove his linen sheet, lifting his left leg. Then, the other man held a bandage while the third one poured saltwater onto his wounds.
Earlier, when he woke up, Lu Yipeng felt pain in his left calf, but being doused with saltwater like this, the taste was indescribable. The young police officer clenched his teeth, sweat pouring down his face.
After the tall man finished pouring saltwater on his wounds, he took the white cloth from the tray and dabbed his wounds. It wasn’t heavy nor light, but when applied on top of the stinging salt, it made the young police officer’s face even paler before opening the ointment bottle to apply to his wounds. Then he poured it on again.
Lu Yipeng’s eyes were so swollen that the man applied medicine to his wound and then covered him up with a blanket before walking out. The young police officer was in so much pain that he could barely think straight. Before long, he passed out again.
Lu Yipeng regained consciousness, accompanied by the smell of food. It seemed to be the smell of porridge. When he tried to move, he realized that his hands and feet were still tied up like before. He looked towards the narrow window with curtains. It seemed to be late at night. The young police officer tried to move his hands and feet, only to discover that they were chained to the bedpost with iron handcuffs.
The stomachache made the young police officer almost lose control. The porridge bowl seemed to unsettle him more than the pain from his leg wound.
Just when he was about to vomit, someone opened the door.
Lu Yipeng couldn’t quite make out who the person was. Whether it was a man or a woman. The primal desire for food overshadowed everything he had been taught. He forgot to be cautious that the food might be drugged or poisoned. The person dragged a chair over and sat down. Then they picked up the porridge bowl and blew on it before feeding the young police officer.
The porridge was somewhat hotter than ideal, but Lu Yipeng didn’t notice that the person holding the bowl was not using any utensils. There were signs that it might be too hot, but the young police officer ate eagerly, almost oblivious to the taste. Apart from swallowing it down to calm the turmoil in his stomach.
The porridge bowl was big enough for two people. Lu Yipeng finished it within a few minutes. When his stomach was full, he finally looked at the person who fed him. The man had a stern look. Despite the full stomach, Lu Yipeng vaguely remembered who this man was.
“Hong Kongque!!” exclaimed the young police officer, trying to sit up. Hong Kongque smiled before picking up the tea cup on the table, “Would you like some tea, officer?”
Lu Yipeng looked at the man in front of him and the teacup in his hand. The scent of tea was invigorating, making his mouth water. The young police officer hesitated before speaking, “How can I drink if you tied me up like this?”
The man smiled slightly, picked up the tea cup to take a sip. Then he lowered his face closer to the cup.
The scent of tea leaves wafted up his nose until Lu Yipeng, who had never drunk tea in this way. He was a police officer who almost did not know the taste of tea, but only heard it all through. Both surprised and confused as to why he had to be kissed by a man. This is crazy.
“What are you doing, you lunatic?” That was the first sentence Lu Yipeng stuttered after Hong Kongque had pulled his mouth away. The person being scolded made a face, before responding, “You have a bad mouth indeed. Even though someone kindly served you tea, you still complain. Then just drink it as it is.” Finished speaking, he lifted the teacup towards Lu Yipeng’s face. The warm tea rushed into his mouth and nostrils, scalding the young police officer’s face.
Lu Yipeng coughed slightly and his face turned extremely red. Hong Kongque poured out the tea and placed the cup on the table. Then he stood up and looked at the young police officer as if he wanted to kill him.
“Go to sleep for a while, officer.” Then he reached his hand straight to the back of Lu Yipeng’s head and gently pressed a spot. The image in front of the young police officer slowly faded away…
This time, Lu Yipeng felt himself in the darkness. Not because it was dark, or someone turned off the lights in the room, but because his eyes were closed with a long piece of cloth tied over them. His wrists and ankles were still tied the same way. The wound on his leg no longer hurt, but his small belly suddenly became unbearably hot for no apparent reason. Then he felt that someone was lying on top of him. The young police officer’s back immediately went cold.
!!!
The young police officer tried to speak but could only make a moaning sound as his mouth was covered with another cloth. The person lying on top of him slipped his hand down on his chest. Then he pressed tightly until the owner of the body was shocked with pain. He massaged his chest for a while, then his hand moved down, touching his slightly bulging belly, sliding down to his groin bones, and down to his thighs.
The young police officer shuddered again when the hand touched the wound on his leg. By now it wouldn’t hurt, but the feeling seemed to linger on the raised scars.
The person then massaged him all over. Then he came back to press firmly on his chest once more, and pinched both sides of his chest until the young police officer shuddered again before sliding his hand to the crucial part that was erect between his legs.
Lu Yipeng resisted strongly. It’s not like he hadn’t been grabbed by someone there before, his ex-girlfriend who broke up with him when he entered his new government job has done this to him, but when that male hand clamped down, a sudden wave of heat seemed to pass through and rush straight to his back. Hot flashes entered his belly, arousing his emotions instantly.
Being fondled for a while, the young police officer began to moan. If he wasn’t being restrained by handcuffs and ankle restraints, he would have jumped up and subdued the person on top.
As he bit his lip with restrained desire, the other person stopped their hand. Then they shifted, and Lu Yipeng could feel the wetness of their mouth, and the hot tongue and lips tightly around his vital area. His body shivered again.
Lu Yipeng clenched his fists, feeling as if his wrists and ankles were being twisted until they hurt. Just focusing on the pleasure between his legs made him forget about the pain and discomfort. The tongue and mouth of the other person moved deftly, almost making him release multiple times, but when he touched his hip, they stopped, seeming to want to tease him more than anything else. Encountering this, Lu Yipeng wanted to escape from the intense activity even more, to be able to wrestle away through that way.
He got teased there with Hong Kongque mouth for a while. Then the other party pulled their mouth away. Then their hand moved down to his hip. This time, Lu Yipeng shivered.
Damn… It can’t be…!!
The sound of breathing grew louder, as the other party slapped his buttocks hard. Then something like a condom was put on, and something tight and full was pressed into the tip of him. Lu Yipeng only just realized that the person mounting him couldn’t be a woman.
If that’s the case…
That tight, narrow passage slowly sucked in his cock him little by little, making him moan involuntarily. His shaft length was compressed tightly until it disappeared inside Hong Kongque. He only could make it halfway through. He was almost near ejaculating. It was a feeling he had never experienced before.
As he pushed all the way in until the end, Lu Yipeng couldn’t help but thrust his hips against that person, and heard them moan. Then the two bodies moved in a frenzy, colliding with each other fiercely. The fingertips that were tightly gripping his legs, and the tingling squeezing that made his senses tingle, made
Lu Yipeng’s mind go blank. He only perceived the immense pleasure that was happening, and wished it would continue forever.
He didn’t know how many times he thrusted to that point. All Lu Yipeng could remember was feeling like he was close to death because of the overwhelming pleasure that was consuming him. The passage stretched and squeezed his pleasure like crazy. He didn’t want to stop moving for even a second, as if he wanted to suck the life force out of him through that passage. He wouldn’t stop, as if he wanted to keep going tirelessly, wanting the bliss to continue endlessly. The feeling was like on the verge of death from pleasure. That passage stretched and squeezed the pleasure into him insanely, not stopping for a moment. It felt like sucking the life force out of him, incomparable. It was both tormenting and feeling good to the point of losing one’s mind.
If I have to die with this much happiness, sometimes it might not be worth holding a grudge.
…
Feeling light, almost floating, Lu Yipeng opened his eyes to find the sky bright. Blindfold and gag removed, his hands and feet were free.
The young police officer closed his eyes again, still not recovered from the bliss of his previous moment of forgetfulness, but managed to fall asleep for a while. His consciousness could eventually return.
Lu Yipeng’s memory suddenly surfaced, realizing he had just endured a clear sexual assault, and most importantly, he might still be in the clutches of that mysterious mafia. If so, the assault might have been recorded for blackmail.
Thinking this, the young police officer regretted his lack of awareness, but also considered that in such a state of being, who could actually maintain consciousness? Furthermore, that guy must have put something in his tea or porridge. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been hard and sexually aroused to such an extent.
While contemplating the potential future events, the door swung open, and a man in his twenties to thirties, with side-swept hair and a dark red shirt, walked in.
“Good morning, police officer. How do you feel?”
Lu Yipeng lunged at the man, hoping to suffocate him and make him fall silent, then grabbed him. He heard him respond, “Really?”
Lu Yipeng then saw the man’s footwear in front of him, and his face forcefully hit the ground, causing a sharp pain. That person pressed his foot on
Lu Yipeng’s shoulder and asked, “Do you come here to arrest me for real, or what? Where’s the arrest warrant?”
Lu Yipeng tried to lift himself up, despite being stepped on only on his shoulders, but it seemed like an iron barrier was holding him down. Eventually, he had to speak helplessly while still lying face down.
“I’m here to ask about Zhang Jiang.”
“Oh… The one with the glasses, huh?” Lu Yipeng felt embarrassed about having to ask questions or speak while being stepped on like this. This bastard!!.
“Do you know about him?”
“Who told you that I know? Do you know who I am?”
“Hong Kongque.” Lu Yipeng said, continuing, “Our sources report that you are the only one who might know where Zhang Jiang has gone, because he has a connection with you.”
“Oh… you are indeed a diligent investigator.” Hong Kongque said, then lifting his foot up, he pushed Lu Yipeng and toppled him down again. “Don’t stand up too quickly. I’m just tired and want to switch sides with my feet.” Hong Kongque said, as he raised himself up to stand but hadn’t fully stood yet. He was kicked down again.
“Lift your head your head up.”
The young police officer insisted, and then managed to stand up a little before raising his head to look. He saw the corner of his mouth twitch, “Just tell me your name again.”
“I’m Lu Yipeng.”
“Lu Yipeng.” He repeated, smiling, “About Zhang Jiang’s whereabouts. I can’t tell you, but if it’s about the incriminating information about him, I can give it to you. How about that?”
“Why can’t you tell me his whereabouts?” Lu Yipeng asked, still close to the ground.
“Oh… because it’s not safe to tell officers like you. Besides not having the intelligence to protect your life, you would also lead enemies to silence you.
Don’t think there aren’t government agents in the police force. I’ll give you a choice, to go back with solid evidence or empty-handed.”
Lu Yipeng remained silent for a while before responding, “Do you have those documents for me to see?”
“Of course. Otherwise, why should I tell you.” Hong Kongque said, “The evidence is complete with a certified document that can be used as testimony in court. Do you want it or not?”
“Let me see it first.” The young police officer said.
“Alright, but let me say first. If you think of jumping on me after I lift my foot, I will kick you down until you are knocked out and then hang you on the rooftop to make sun dried meat out of you.”
“Umm.” Lu Yipeng agreed. Then Hong Kongque lifted his foot, and the young police officer stood up, “Where are the documents?”
Hong Kongque tapped a brown envelope on the bare back of the young police officer, “Hey… you really are firm. Your lower parts also look so tantalizing. Do you want a rematch from last night?”
Lu Yipeng glanced at the person speaking before grabbing the envelope and walking slowly to the bed, wrapping the blanket around his lower body,
“Hmm… What are you being embarrassed about? I have seen everything, holding it now won’t help anything.”
“That’s on me.” Lu Yipeng said, opening the envelope to look at the documents inside for a moment before responding, “I have to send these documents for inspection first.”
“Take your time.” Hong Kongque said, “If you’re not satisfied, you can come back here or come to that door. Otherwise, give me a call first.”
Lu Yipeng raised his eyebrows in surprise as Hong Kongque walked in and clapped his hands on his thighs, “You have a pass already. Don’t go around talking about it, or I’ll kill you.”
Before the person being held could react and raise their hands to brush off the gesture, Hong Kongque quickly moved away. Then, raising his hand under the person’s chin to make Lu Yipeng look up, and said, “Go shower and change your shirt. I will give you the phone number, remember, do not write it down or save it in your phone. I will only tell you once, if you forget and come screaming for it, someone will hear you scream for about three hours.”
Lu Yipeng tried to brush his face and escape, “Understood. Let me go.”
Hong Kongque chuckled, then pulled in to kiss Lu Yipeng suddenly. Before he could react, his tongue was already inside. This kind of unexpected kiss had never made him feel so dark and confused before.
Meeting lips for a while, Hong Kongque smiled softly, “I want you to stop by more often. When you leave, don’t forget about me.”
Lu Yipeng glanced at the other party before abruptly stepping out, “I promise not to step foot here again.”
“Uh… I’ll wait and see.” Hong Kongque said, standing and staring at the young police officer with piercing eyes, until the person being looked at hurriedly walked into the adjacent bathroom.
…
“Why are you smiling like that?” Lu Yipeng asked, looking up to see the person sitting at the table smiling faintly, a smile that had been there since minutes ago when Hong Kongque looked at Lu Yipeng’s hands scooping porridge and smiled, “I was just thinking about the first time we met, you were eating porridge like a garbage disposal.”
Lu Yipeng glanced at the person speaking immediately, “Oh… That’s something I really don’t want to think about at all.”
“Why are you blushing, Pengpeng?” Hong Kongque said, then playfully tapped the young man’s nose with his spoon.
“My nose is not a boiled crab.” Lu Yipeng replied, brushing the spoon away, which didn’t quite work as expected, “And I’m not embarrassed. I just can’t stomach such vile talk.”
“True.” Hong Kongque chuckled, giving Lu Yipeng another look before setting down his bowl of congee, “I’m done eating.”
“Oh… what’s this? Despite being all grown up, you still want me to feed you?” Hong Kongque said, feigning disappointment, looking at Lu Yipeng with a pout, “Your words make me lose my appetite altogether.”
“Well… I wasn’t talking about anything as revolting as a worm or a centipede, Pengpeng. If you want me to feed you, just say so. I’ll have Li Kong bring a fresh, piping hot bowl of congee for you. It’ll be fun. Interested? If not, just finish your meal. Wasting food isn’t good.”
Lu Yipeng pursed his lips before picking up his spoon to continue eating until it was all gone. The young police officer then stood up, ready to leave.
“Leaving so soon? Aren’t you going to stay and chat with this old man a bit longer?” Hong Kongque asked, but Lu Yipeng raised a hand to adjust his shirt and turned to respond, “I have to leave, it’s because of you that I’ve been up all night… and I have to work today.”
“Well… complaining won’t make you old. You’re not that old yet.” Hong Kongque said, as he patted the firm buttocks of the young police officer under the table with a mischievous grin.
“Oh, stop feigning old age for a moment.” Lu Yipeng said as Hong Kongque chuckled, “Where do you see me feigning, Pengpeng? You think too much.”
Lu Yipeng shot him another look before speaking again, “I’m off.”
“Hmm… will you come this evening?”
“Not coming. I have to water the plants. The water I’ve prepared will dry out.
I have to go to work today.”
“Well… are you sure you don’t want to come?” Hong Kongque nodded,
“Fine, bring the plant for me to see.”
“Hmm… sure. You must be persistent.” Lu Yipeng said, then walked out.
“And don’t send me anything strange again, pity the forensic team a bit.” Officer Lu Yipeng continued, withdrawing a sigh, “I didn’t send anything strange this time Pengpeng, you were suspicious yourself, as always.”
Lu Yipeng closed the door with a loud bang.
