YRMD-76 Don’t Be Afraid Of Anything With Him Around


 
 
Zhan didn’t want to wake up, but he had to.
 
Looking at the bright sky outside. The weather was very fine today.
 
Zhan did what he used to do today, spending time with his grandfather when he dropped Fei off at kindergarten.
 
“Grandpa, I’ll read you a book.” Zhan gave his grandfather books and newspapers to keep him from getting bored.
 
“Zhan, I haven’t seen Yibo for several days. Is he busy with work? Ask him to take a rest. Health is the greatest wealth.”
 
“Don’t worry, Grandpa. He will take care of himself. He went on a business trip, and will find some authoritative experts to cure your disease.” Zhan said.
 
Grandfather tightened his eyebrows, “Zhan, my illness… Why bother to go abroad to find doctors? If… I mean, if it can’t be cured, we just leave it alone, I am old now and I have lived long enough. I don’t want to cause you too much trouble.”
 
“Grandpa, why are you talking about? I told you that your disease is not a big problem, but if you want to do an operation, you should find a better doctor, isn’t it? Yibo and I will cure your disease, and you are going to get better.” Zhan stared at Grandpa. “Grandpa, let’s work together.”
 
Grandfather nodded havily, not wanting to disappoint Zhan.
 
He knew that Zhan valued family affection, and he didn’t want to face the fact that Grandpa would leave the world one day. 
 
“Then let me read to you.” Zhan rearranged his mood and faced the difficulties and pressure with a positive mind.
 
It was the end of another day. Grandfather’s condition was a little worse today, Zhan didn’t go home until 11 o’clock.
 
He was always careful when driving, but on his way back up to the mountain, he came across a broken branch lying in the middle of the road. He had no choice but to stop the car and ran to the front of the car to move the broken branch away.
 
While he was moving the branch, he did not perceive someone was approaching him.
 
Zhan did not see the shadow in the dim light until the man came closer.
 
Just as he was about to turn back, the man raised a stick and hit the back of his neck, Zhan only felt a sharp pain and then fainted. He tried to look at the person before he passed out, but he could not see him clearly.
 
When the man saw that Zhan was completely unconscious, he removed the broken branch from the road. He then turned Zhan’s car over to the curb, put it into gear, and let the car drive off the road and rolled down the ramp.
 
He watched the car roll several times and hit a tree before he turned around.
 
And then he tied Zhan’s hands behind him and tied up his feet, and put him into a van in the middle of the woods.
 
Then he put duct tape over Zhan’s mouth and covered his eyes with a black cloth.
 
When he was fully prepared, he drove away from the scene.
 
He drove all the way down the road, and after a long time, he stopped at a quiet and deserted hut in the remote place. 
 
The man lifted Zhan out of the car, kicked open the old, rusty iron door and took him inside. The hut was not big nor small.
 
The house was made of brick and wood with a high roof. There were a lot of unused boxes and old machines in the room, which were covered with cobwebs and dust. It could be seen that the machines had been disused for some years.
 
The man carried Zhan to the middle of the room, where there was a post, and he tied him to the post.
 
Zhan was still unconscious, letting the man tie him up and his head drooped limply. 
 
The man was relieved when he had done all this. He took off his raincoat and sat down on a box.
 
“Zhan, I worked hard to get you today.”
 
Hepeng had investigated that Yibo was not around these days, and Zhan either went to the hospital or went home, so he and Lingjiao could make this kidnapping plan. 
 
And it was a success.
 
He took out his cell phone and made a phone call. “Lingjiao, I have tied Zhan up in a warehouse that the Feng family has deserted for a long time. Rest assured. I am the only one who know the place and got the key.”
 
“Hepeng, you did a great job. Thank you very much.” Lingjiao said, “Could you take some pictures of him and show them to me?”
 
“Yes.” Hepeng agreed, and then took several pictures of tied Zhan at different angles with his camera and sent them to Lingjiao.
 
When she took the pictures, she was not satisfied, “They are so vague! The light is so dim. I couldn’t see who he is. Take some other pictures, with bright lights and a clear face. Thank you. We’ll have a lot of money and can live a happy, secure life soon.”
 
Hepeng was coaxed into being a good boy by Lingjiao.
 
He stepped forward and turned on the electric light facing the post, and its bright incandescent light cast a beam of light from above Zhan, which made Zhan look clear and bright.
 
Hepeng stepped forward, so as to raise Zhan’s head up. And then he moved the phone right in front of Zhan and took several pictures.
 
Lingjiao was satisfied when she saw Zhan’s face clearly. “Hepeng, please stay with him and do whatever I tell you to do. I promise we’ll be safe and sound and live a peaceful life for the rest of our lives.”
 
“Well, I believe you.” Hepeng had already trusted Lingjiao. 
 
Lingjiao kissed him on the phone before ending the conversation.
 
 
***
 
The smile on her face faded, and then a look of malice rose in her eyes.
 
She held the phone tightly, saying in her heart, “Zhan, I will not let you go this time. I will take back what you have taken away from me!”
 
Lingjiao quickly found Darren’s WeChat and sent him the photos. But she was deleted by Darren.
 
She was so angry that she could only call him, but Darren didn’t answer her phone at all.
 
There was nothing she could do, so she called the Jin family. 
 
An aunt received phone, “This is The Jin Family. Who is this?”
 
“This is Lingjiao. I’m asking for Darren. Ask him to answer the phone and tell him it is about Zhan.”
 
As soon as the aunt heard it was Lingjiao, she suddenly woke up and said, “Miss Xiao, your call will not be forwarded. Bye.”
 
“Wait a minute…”
 
Lingjiao hadn’t finished, but the aunt had hung up.
 
Lingjiao was so angry when the aunt hung up the phone. If she hadn’t had to use her phone, she would have smashed it.
 
She didn’t expect that Darren could get rid of her so cleanly!
 
All this was Zhan’s fault, so how could she let go of Zhan!?
 
Lingjiao didn’t give up and called Carmen.
 
Carmen, awakened by the phone, answered the call. “Lingjiao? Is that you?”
 
“Mom, It’s me.” Lingjiao said with a cry.
 
“Lingjiao, don’t ever call me again, and don’t ever call my Mom.”
 
Carmen turned her down.
 
Lingjiao’s heart was cold now. She squeezed the phone, “OK, then tell Darren to answer my call. It is about Zhan’s life, or he will regret it for the rest of his life!”
 
“Lingjiao, what did you do to Zhan? Stop doing stupid things!” Carmen had a bad hunch, “Lingjiao, He’s your brother. You can’t repeat the mistakes again and again.”
 
“When did he take me for his own sister?” Lingjiao sneered.
 
“He’s the best in your eyes. What have I done for all these years? If he cares about Zhan, then ask him to answer my phone.”
 
“Lingjiao…” but Lingjiao had hung up the phone.
 
“What’s the matter?” Shenhai asked, “Is that Lingjiao?”
 
“Well, I don’t know what she did to Zhan. She wants Darren to answer her phone or Zhan’s life will be in danger.” Carmen frowned.
 
Shenhai also looked grim, “Life matters. Call Darren.”
 
So Carmen called Darren and told him what Lingjiao had said, “Darren, also don’t be impulsive, don’t be fooled, Lingjiao might be lying…”
 
“Mom, I know.” Darren’s heart was clenched. “I’ll check the situation first. Don’t worry, and get some rest.”
 
Darren called Lingjiao and said, “What do you want me for?”
 
“You’ll know when you friend me.” Lingjiao said.
 
Darren quickly friended her.
 
Then he received the photo forwarded by Lingjiao in his WeChat. Looking at the tied Zhan, Darren’s heart was like a stone sinking into the bottom of the lake.
 
Darren’s heart pained and he warned, “Lingjiao, what do you want? Release Zhan!” 
 
“What if I don’t let him go?” Lingjiao felt painful, but Darren only had Zhan in his heart.
 
“I’ll tell you. If you dare touch Zhan, I won’t let you go!” Darren threatened.
 
“Darren, you once said this for me, said to Zhan for me! Why have you changed now and threatened me for him? Darren, do you know how much you have hurt me when you said that?” Lingjiao laughed wildly and loudly.
 
“And you are not the only one who would not spare me. Anyway, no one cares about me. I was abandoned by parents, by my lover… I got nothing. Do you think I could be any worse off than I am now?”
 
“What do you want? Say it and then let Zhan go!” Darren suppressed his anxiety.
 
“The more you care about him, the more I won’t let him go!” Lingjiao bellowed.
 
She was insanely jealous of Darren’s care for Zhan, but he was so cruel to her.
 
Darren tightened his eyebrows, “Lingjiao, I’m the one who filed for divorce. It’s between us, and it has nothing to do with Zhan. Our marriage can’t last anymore. Being together is torture for both of us. I just want to be free.”
 
“If you are angry, just vent it on me. Don’t make things difficult for Zhan. Besides, he’s Yibo’s wife now. It won’t do you any good to hurt him. It would be better to die if you offended Yibo.”
 
“Lingjiao, stop it. Let Zhan go. I can pretend this never happened and I won’t tell anyone, including Yibo.” Darren tried hard to persuade Lingjiao, “As long as you listen to me, I will give you a sum of money, and you can leave a peaceful life.”
 
“I don’t want any of that!” Lingjiao’s voice was trembling slightly.
 
“Well, tell me what you want, and I’ll promise you anything I can do, if you let Zhan go.” Darren begged her, afraid that she would hurt Zhan.
 
“You’ll promise me everything?” Lingjiao’s choked voice added a touch of hope.
 
“Yes, I’ll promise you anything.” That was his condition.
 
“Well, I want you never to divorce me, I want everything in your name, and I want you to own the baby I’m carrying!” Lingjiao touched her belly, “I want you to love me like you used to! Can you do these?”
 
“Yes,” Darren did not hesitate and readily agreed, “as long as you let Zhan go.” 
 
Although he was extremely against Lingjiao, for Zhan he was willing to do what he was most reluctant to do.
 
Because his life was saved by Zhan, without her there would be no Darren, so he would not hesitate to sacrifice everything for her.
 
But it made Lingjiao feel strange. She thought that the reason why Darren agreed her conditions without hesitation was because of Zhan, not because of herself.
 
Sadness swept over her heart.
 
“What if I don’t let go of him?” Lingjiao asked him.
 
“If you don’t let go of him, I’ll treat you the way you treat him, and return it double.” Darren’s tone was firm.
 
Lingjiao clutched the phone, and feeling extremely painful. She didn’t know what she could do to make herself less painful.
 
“If you care about him so much, then I’ll torment him. He’ll suffer, and you’ll feel heartbroken. And I, would be happy.” Lingjiao laughed.
 
“Lingjiao, where are you? I’ll get you.” Instead of provoking her, Darren softened his tone. “Lingjiao, I want to see you.”
 
Lingjiao was touched by his words, and her eyes were wet.
 
“Lingjiao, are you listening? I want to see you, right now. Tell me where you are, and I’ll come and find you.” Darren did not hear her response and repeated it again.
 
“Darren, are you finally going to see me?” Lingjiao smiled bitterly.
 
“Yes, I want to see you.” He affirmed.
 
“But what if I don’t want to see you anymore?” Lingjiao’s tears quietly slipped out of her eyes, “Darren, you have broken my heart. I am no longer Lingjiao who would listen to everything you said. Lingjiao who once loved you to the extreme and was humble to the extreme has died!”
 
“Lingjiao, it’s alright. It’s a relief for you, too. Not to love me is better than to love me.” Darren said indifferently.
 
Lingjiao closed her eyes slowly, tears streaming down her face. She bit her lips hard to stop herself from crying.
 
“The conditions are still valid, but it doesn’t mean I still love you, Darren, I just want you to live in pain.” Lingjiao took a deep breath to control her emotions. “Someone will take you to my place soon. If you dare to play tricks, I will let Zhan die right away!”
 
“Fine.” Darren said.
 
After Darren finished talking with Lingjiao, he called Yibo immediately, but Yibo turned off the phone.
 
He dialed again, but again to no avail. Then he found Fanxing’s cell phone number and called it. Fanxing’s phone was off as well.
 
So, he could only send a text to Yibo.
 
Soon, someone picked him up. He was not allowed to carry any communication devices and was checked to see if there was anything hidden on his body.
 
After checking, Darren was taken into a van, blindfolded and bound before the car drew away.
 
After a long time, the car came to a quiet old residential area, which was under demolition, so there were no people living here. 
 
Darren was taken out of the car to upstairs, and was pushed into a room.
 
Darren couldn’t see anything and was pushed so hard that he knelt on the ground.
 
Someone untied the black cloth on his eyes. When Darren opened his eyes, Lingjiao stood in front of him.
 
Lingjiao dropped her eyes and looked down at him, making her look like a queen, while Darren was like a humble servitude kneeling at her feet.
 
“Darren, how long haven’t we met? We finally meet again.” Lingjiao bent softly, smiling harmlessly as she did before. “I really like this way of meeting each other.”
 
But Darren didn’t like it. For Zhan and so as not to anger Lingjiao, he didn’t say anything..
 
“Now that we’ve met, what will it take for you to let him go?” Darren cared about Zhan’s safety.
 
Lingjiao took out a contract and put it on the table, “As long as you sign it.”
 
Lingjiao winked at the strong man behind Darren, who came forward to untie Darren’s hands.
 
Once Darren’s hands were free, he kneaded his wrists, which were bruised from the binding.
 
Lingjiao also saw this. But even though she felt distressed, she could not show it.
 
She had to not care about him at all, just like he didn’t care about her. In this way, he couldn’t use love as a weapon to hurt her.
 
“Give me the contract,” Darren took the contract Lingjiao handed and scanned through it, “Pen.”
 
Lingjiao gave him the pen. Darren took it, flipped to the last page, and was about to write his name.
 
Lingjiao’s throat moved. Her voice was a little hoarse, “Wait! Darren, you have to think it over. Is it worth it to do this for Zhan? Even though he saved you, he is married! If they don’t divorce, you’ll never get him back!”
 
“You don’t need to remind me of that. He is my life saver, Even if I give him my life, I think it’s worth it, not to mention these worldly things. And what’s the difference between not being able to marry him and my being stuck in this marriage?”
 
Darren looked up. His eyes were so black, making people a little breathless.
 
“I’ll be happy if he is happy. If he is not, I will be with him and wait for him. If we can’t be a couple, it’s not bad to be friends and relatives. You, Lingjiao, will never know what love is!”
 
“Darren, do you think you know love and you are great?” Lingjiao found it hard to breathe, “Do you think Zhan will appreciate you for that?”
 
“I don’t care. What I want is for him to be safe and healthy. All I can do for him is watch over him.” Darren didn’t want to say any more and signed on the unequal contract without hesitation.
 
Even if he would be penniless in the future and trapped in the marriage with Lingjiao forever, even if he could never be close to Zhan again, he would not regret it.
 
“Done. Let Zhan go now. You can come home with me. I will never divorce you and be with you forever. You will always be Mrs. Jin, okay?” Darren handed the signed contract to Lingjiao.
 
He stared into Lingjiao’s eyes and was as calm as a ripple-free lake.
 
He was more numb than calm.
 
Anyway, things had come to this point and could not be worse.
 
Lingjiao took the contract. What she lost was regained now, but why didn’t she feel a bit happy?
 
She couldn’t tell Darren’s emotion, as if he was just an obedient puppet who did everything he was told, Wasn’t that wonderful? That was what she wanted. She should be happy.
 
“Lingjiao, let’s go home. You should let Zhan go for the sake of our child.” Darren pleaded with her once again, “Let’s forget all the unhappiness and live our lives like we used to. We can give our child a happy family. Lingjiao, give me a chance and give yourself a chance. I’ll do what I say.”
 
For the sake of Zhan, Darren gave up all his insistence and principles, just to get him peace.
 
Darren opened his arms to Lingjiao and welcomed Lingjiao’s return with his embrace.
 
“Lingjiao, come and hug.”
 
Lingjiao restrained well just now. But at this time, looking at the gentle embrace Darren opened for her, she could no longer restrain.
 
The soreness and sadness were like the tide and surged through her, making her want to cry.
 
It reminded her that every time she got angry before, Darren would open his arms and tenderly said to her, “Come and hug.”

 

 

Lingjiao finally shed tears, and her mind was blank at this moment.
 
“Lingjiao, isn’t it good to go back to the old days?”
 
Lingjiao looked back at Darren, who was as gentle and charming as eve. She couldn’t help it anymore and threw herself into his arms.
 
In his arms, she smelled a familiar scent, which fascinated her.
 
“Darren, is this true?” Lingjiao asked with uncertainty.
 
Happiness came so suddenly that she was really caught off guard, and even terrified.
 
Darren tightened his arms and hugged Lingjiao, “Can this still be fake?”
 
Lingjiao closed her eyes and felt this sudden sense of reality quietly. She was very careful not to lose such happiness. 
 
“I’ll hug you like this every day from now on.” Darren was also good at saying words of love.
 
Hearing his words, Lingjiao softened. She calmed down and was as gentle and beautiful as she was before.
 
“Now I’m yours. Let’s go home.” Darren took her hand.
 
Lingjiao got what she wanted. She sealed the contract and handed it to the strong man, nodding. Even if the happiness was only an illusion, she did not care.
 
“Ms. Xiao, what about the other party….?” the strong man said. 
 
“I will deal with it.” Lingjiao knew that this was her exchange with Darren. She was willing to take risks for the happiness..
 
With that, Darren and Lingjiao left the run-down neighborhood and went back together in the van.
 
But they did not go to the Jin family’s mansion. Instead, they went to Darren’s own apartment.
 
Darren led Lingjiao inside, “I’ve been living here recently. This will be our home from now on. It’s too late today. Go take a shower and rest.”
 
“I am here. Call me if you need anything.”
 
“Okay.” Lingjiao then went into the bathroom.
 
The bathroom was large and fully equipped. Lingjiao touched the washbasin… 
 
This life was what she once had. Now, she was finally back.
 
She stared at the large mirror, looked at herself, and smiled triumphantly.
 
“Lingjiao, is back! I am Mrs. Jin.”
 
Lingjiao was very proud and had a sense of satisfaction and superiority.
 
Lingjiao still felt that it was like a dream now. But she kept telling herself inside that she was really back.
 
She came back with her own efforts. She was still Darren’s wife.
 
But if it were not for Zhan, how would she have gone through so much and even been abandoned by the Xiao and the Jin family!
 
So, Zhan should not have existed in this world long ago. She was too soft-hearted back then. She had thought that as long as Zhan left Chongqing, he would not pose a threat to her. If she had known it would be like this, she should have killed Zhan in Tianjin.
 
A look of sinister flashed across Lingjiao’s face. 
 
She walked towards the shower and turned it on. Water fell with a crash.
 
Then she took out the cell phone she had with her and called Hepeng. 
 
When Hepeng saw that it was her, he quickly picked it up, “Lingjiao, how are you doing there? What should we do next?”
 
“I have not yet negotiated. You must guard there and not leave, watch Zhan, otherwise we will have no leverage.” Lingjiao coaxed Hepeng.
 
“It has been so long. Will he agree?” Hepeng frowned, “It seems that he doesn’t care so much about Zhan, but more about the money.”
 
“He definitely will think it over. After all, once he agrees, he will have nothing.” Lingjiao sighed.
 
“Then what should we do? I’m afraid something will happen if we delay like this.” Hepeng looked at the time. It had been over an hour since he had kidnapped Zhan here.
 
“Lingjiao, can you hurry up?”
 
“I can’t help it if he doesn’t agree.” Lingjiao was helpless, “Maybe we’re not ruthless enough.”
 
“So what’s to be done?” Hepeng glanced at Zhan, who was tied and hadn’t awakened.
 
At this time, Zhan’s head moved slightly. It seemed that he was waking up.
 
Hepeng immediately put on his hat and mask to hide his appearance from Zhan.
 
“He’s waking up.” Hepeng lowered his voice.
 
“Then you can be ruthless. Find some cardboard boxes and branches or something. Light them around Zhan and pretend that you are going to burn him to death to force him. See if he can still insist.” Lingjiao gave Hepeng such an idea.
 
“OK.” Hepeng listened to Lingjiao, “I’ll send you photos when it’s done.”
 
“Okay.” Lingjiao then ended the call with Hepeng.
 
After waiting for a while, Hepeng sent her the photos and Lingjiao smiled with satisfaction.
 
She changed another number and dialed a number, “Is it the police? My Master has been kidnapped… His name is Xiao Zhan. The man wants money, or he will burn my master to death. The place where the money is paid seems to be the forest on the other side of a mountain. Please go and find out if… this news is true.”
 
After calling the police, Lingjiao was happy with her perfect plan.
 
She stripped and stepped into the bathtub and took a comfortable soak.
 
This was the life she should have, living like a princess.
 
 
***
 
At the same time, Hepeng looked at the burning cardboard boxes in front of Zhan and thought that he could make it this time.
 
Zhan was awakened by the heat and smoke of the fire. He opened his eyes to see nothing but flames and a man.
 
“Who are you?” he asked directly.
 
The man did not answer. In addition to the bright light over rose’s head, it was dark all around. Besides, he was wearing a hat and a mask and standing a little far away. So, no matter how hard Zhan tried, he couldn’t see who the man was.
 
Zhan struggled twice. He was tied too tightly and could not break free at all.
 
“Who the hell are you? Why did you take me here?” Zhan looked at the burning flames in front of him and felt the heat, which seemed to be able to dissolve people.
 
Zhan endured the uncomfortable burning sensation, “Whatever you want, I can give you. Please let me go. I promise I won’t tell anyone about what happened today and will act as if nothing happened, okay?”
 
“No way.” The man finally spoke and lowered his voice a lot.
 
Zhan guessed that this man should be his acquaintance. This man was afraid that he would tell his identity from his voice. So, he lowered his voice while speaking.
 
And when Zhan looked into his eye, That man looked away and was guilty, not daring to meet his eyes.
 
Zhan looked at him narrowly. The more he looked at him, the more he thought he looked like someone he knew.
 
It was Hepeng…
 
Zhan was already sure of this answer inside. But he couldn’t say it. If he said, he would be hurting himself.
 
No kidnapper wanted to be recognized. Those who were recognized would usually kill the abductees. So, Zhan pretended to know nothing.
 
“I think you must not be a bad person. You must be in a difficult situation to do so in desperation, right? Do you want money? My husband is very rich. As long as you want and we can do, we will give you what you want.”
 
Zhan guided Hepeng cleverly, “Let’s make a deal, okay? I’ll give you as much money as you want. Then you can rest assured and we’ll pretend that nothing has happened.”
 
“My husband is Wang Yibo. You should have heard of him. If he pursues it, you may go to jail. But if you let me go, nothing will happen. You also have parents, wife, and child. You don’t want them to worry, do you?”
 
“Especially your child, do you know how much this will affect him? He won’t want to have a father who’s a kidnapper. If you go to jail, it will be a shadow over his life. So, this is the best way.”
 
“I promise I’ll do what I say. I also have a child. I understand your feeling. We’ll do what’s best for our children.”
 
Hepeng remained silent. But he was a little hesitant inside.
 
After all, Yibo could offer much money which was enough for him and Lingjiao to spend in their lifetime. They could no longer worry about money in the future and even live well.
 
In fact, he didn’t want to go to jail for this. After all, he still wanted to see the child born. He wanted to be a father and raise the child.
 
Besides, the charge of kidnapping and arson was serious. He could be in jail for ten years. With Yibo’s ability, he even might never be released.
 
Zhan’s offer was really tempting.
 
But Lingjiao would definitely not agree to let Zhan go so easily. Hepeng was hesitant and annoyed.
 
“I’m going out for a cigarette.” Hepeng lowered the brim of his hat and turned to leave.
 
Zhan looked at his back as he left, knowing that Hepeng was hesitating.
 
As long as he put in more effort, Hepeng would be persuaded and then he would be saved.
 
But the heat of the fire burned him so badly that his hair and clothes were wet with sweat.
 
Zhan struggled two more times, but still could not break free.
 
A strong wind blew in from the broken window. It blew the pieces of paper that hadn’t been burned all over the house, where there were some flammable items. In such dry weather, a little spark could turn into a sea of fire.
 
Looking at the items that were ignited, Zhan was shocked and widened his eyes.
 
Zhan froze for a moment before he began to try to scream for help.
 
But his mouth was taped shut. He could not call for help. His scream only became a whimper, and Hepeng could not hear it at all.
 
The fire was burning. Zhan looked at the fire and could no longer be as calm as just now. He panicked.
 
He was desperate and suffocated.
 
Was he going to die here today?
 
He still had too much to worry about….
 
His Grandpa’s illness had not been cured. He was worried.
 
Fei had not grown up. He was worried.
 
As for Yibo, they hadn’t seen each other for a long time. He missed him so much.
 
And at this time, he missed him even more.
 
It was getting hotter and hotter. 
 
The fire was approaching and the smoke spread everywhere… 
 
Zhan felt that he could not breathe and began to be dizzy and weak.
 
He seemed to see a figure walking to him in a trance. 
 
It was not Hepeng, but… Yibo.
 
No, Yibo was still in abroad now. He must be hallucinating because he was very eager to see him.
 
“Zhan, wake up. Don’t sleep…” Yibo’s gentle voice sounded in his ear.
 
He slapped Zhan’s face, trying to wake him up.
 
Zhan also made great efforts to open his eyes. It was the face he was familiar to and missed.
 
Zhan saw the anxiety and panic on his handsome face, Yibo quickly untied the ropes tying Zhan’s hands and feet and tore the tape off his mouth. 
 
Then, Zhan could be free…
 
But because Zhan had been tied for too long, he fell limply once he was untied.
 
Yibo held his weak body. Zhan fell into his arms and was held tightly in his embrace.
 
Smelling the familiar scent of his body, Zhan was relaxed and settled down.
 
But Zhan couldn’t hold back his tears and cried heavily.
 
Yibo kissed him on the brow, “Zhan, don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
 
But when Zhan heard this, he cried more heavily and even trembled.
 
“Why are you crying more heavily?” he didn’t say anything wrong.
 
“I am just too happy. When I think of you, then you are here.”
 
With him around, Zhan didn’t have to be afraid of anything and could leave everything to him.
 
Even if the sky fell down, Yibo would support him. So, it was good to have him.
 
“Yibo…” Zhan hugged Yibo tightly.
 
“Let’s go out first and talk about it later.” Yibo picked up Zhan.
 
The roof began to collapse and dropped things. It would be terrible if they were hit.
 
Yibo was also nervous. He held Zhan, observed carefully and dodged the fallen things, quickly rushing towards the door.
 
The wooden frame on the roof of the door was burned and fell, Seeing that they were about to be hit, Yibo threw Zhan out with all his might in the nick of time.
 
Zhan fell on the grass outside the door. He was not seriously injured, just a little bruise.
 
However, the doorway collapsed.
 
With a loud noise, smoke was rising everywhere.
 
Zhan watched Yibo buried in front of him. He couldn’t believe his eyes and didn’t dare to face such a cruel reality.
 
“No…” Zhan then screamed, “Yibo!”
