Lang Ruoxian frowns. âWho is she?â
âDonât you know?â There is a hoarse voice sounded like a scraping iron pan, giving others goose bumps. âHaha! Itâs funny. You donât know your own mother!â
Lang Ruoxian canât see the face of the man in the wheelchair, but he can hear him mocking. He looks at the woman again and smiles. âDo you mean my father have fathered me when he was young with a woman like that?â
Then he apologizes to the old woman. âIâm not saying you are bad. But actually, from the way you look now, you were just a normal person when you were young.â
He draws the corner of his mouth. âI thought, at least my mother was a beauty, so that my father could have done it?â
â...â The man in the wheelchair seems stunned by his words and raises his hand after a few seconds.
A gun is pointed to the old ladyâs head, causing her shake and cry for mercy.
âYouâre right. I must have made a mistake.â The man in the wheelchair says. âThen thereâs no need for her to live. Am I right?â
Lang Ruoxian glances at the old man. âDo you think Iâll plead for her? Come on. I donât know if Iâll live or die!â
âHahaha! People are wrong about you,â The man in the wheelchair bursts into laughter. âFirst Young Master of Lang Family is really cruel and ruthless. Do you usually disguise yourself in that way to confuse anyone? Someone in your family?â
âI heard your father is now a cripple who longs for die.â
Lang Ruoxian stretches his legs. âHe gets ripped off by a woman. Whoâs to blame? Do you mind me to lean against the wall for a while? Youâve tied me up for two days after all.â
âGet First Young Master a chair.â The man in the wheelchair raises his chin.
The bodyguard who just enters the room comes forward, holding the three kidnappers.
âYouâre so worthless. How did he run with all three of you?â
Liang Kun doesnât look well. He comes up to Lang Ruoxian to spit and kick him in the stomach. âDamn you! Canât you fight? Fight me!â
âF**k!â Lang Ruoxian throws him onto the ground before he can stand and gives him a blow on the head. These two men scuffle, and the man in the wheelchair shouts. âAre you all dead? Pull them apart now!â
Liang Kun scrambles to his feet, giving Lang Ruoxian a nasty look, and walks over to the wheelchair.
âWe failed. This order we donât charge you money.â He points to the wounded men. âCan we go to hospital first? Gunshot wound is emergency.â
The man in the wheelchair thinks for a moment. âLet my men follow you to the hospital. Donât do anything extra, or Iâll kill you at any time!â
Liang Kun nods tamely. Several bodyguards help them into the car and away.
âItâs quiet now, and we can talk it over.â He says, looking at Lang Ruoxian with dark glasses. âI heard you grew up in an orphanage. Letâs talk about that!â
Lang Ruoxian raises his eyebrow. âWhy do you care so much about my childhood? Do you know my father or mother? Or, you know me?â
âShut up!â The man seems impatient. âSay whatever I ask. If you answer well, I may let you go.â
The man knows me... Lang Ruoxian keeps thinking and makes sure that he wonât kill him, or he doesnât know whether he should kill him or not.
âThe winter was cold at the orphanage, as I remember...â
In G City, Yan Hua finishes two days of shooting. Fei Shan knows she is so anxious that he finds an excuse to take away the film crew. When Yan Hua gets home, she tries to call Xiaokai while Gungun is taking a bath, and sees an email notification on the phone.
Yan Hua doesnât want to read it, but clicks into the mailbox accidentally. When she wants to close it, she sees the content of the letter, which has only two lines. Her expression suddenly changes.
âAny news, Shu Sheng?â Xiaokai is in a hurry on the phone, but he can do nothing.
Luckily, Shu Sheng receives a call from the hotel just now.
âSomeone left me a message in the hospital and let me get it.â
âHospital?â Xiaokai freezes for a second. âWhy is the hotel calling?â
On the phone, Shu Sheng sounds like he is driving with a loud wind blowing. âI donât think they can reach me. But they knew which hotel we were staying in, so they called the hotel.â
âCould it be the men who kidnapped our Young Master got the money and plan to set him free?â Xiaokai says pleasantly, but then he considers something wrong. âBe careful. That may be a trap.â
âWhatever it is, Iâll go!â
No sooner has Xiaokai hung up than Yan Huaâs call comes.
âXiaokai, come to my house.â
Yan Hua shows him the email.
âYan Hua, Lang Li can speak now, and he was pretending and deceiving us all. Heâs investigating Lang Ruoxian on suspicion that he poisoned him. Iâm at Room 901 of Haili Hotel. His men are following me! Hurry up! Come and help me! Deng Jingjing.â
After reading the letter, Xiaokai looks as solemn as her. âSo... Lang Li is probably the one who kidnapped our Young Master! Isnât it...â
âNo!â Yan Hua shakes her head. âI donât think he has any proof. And Lang Ruoxian is his own son, he wonât kill him until he gets enough evidence.â
âBut Young Master, he is...â Xiaokai shuts up suddenly.
It raises Yan Huaâs curiosity. âWhatâs it?â
âNothing. What I mean is to contact Shu Sheng at once.â The baby face picks up the phone. When he finishes, he sees Yan Hua dressed and coming to the door.
âWhere are you going?â
âTo Haili Hotel.â
One hour later, they are stopped over ten meters from the hotel. The sirens are still ringing not far away, and there are many people and police around the hotel gate.
âIâm afraid weâre late...â Xiaokai parks the car. âI get off to have a look.â
He returns in a few minutes. Yan Hua signs. âWhatâs wrong with her?â
âShe jumped from the top floor, and the police made a preliminary assessment of suicide. The specific results will be known after their investigation.â
âShe didnât kill herself!â Yan Hua says. âIt must be Lang Liâs men who killed her, then disguised her as a suicide jumper.â
Xiaokai starts the car to leave. âWe know, but the police donât.â
âWe can give the police the email.â Yan Hua says, flipping through her phone.
Xiaokai holds her hand. âDelete the email.â
âWhat did you say?â Yan Hua thinks she misheard.
âForget it. Iâll log in your email-box later to do it. The police have technology to recover it if you delete in this way.â Xiaokai says, driving carefully. âYoung Master will be involved if the police find this email.â
Yan Hua freezes for a few seconds. âWell, you do it.â
âIf the police donât call you...â Xiaokai adds. âIt means Lang Liâs men might have read the email and deleted it.â
Yan Hua is shocked. âIs it dangerous for Lang Ruoxian?â
âI can only take care of you now.â Xiaokai looks at her seriously. âYouâd better not leave this house before Young Master comes back. And donât take part in that TV show any more.â
Yan Hua stares at him for a second and nods without saying a word.
âWhere did you go?â When she goes to Fei Yingâs house to pick up Gungun, she sees her face is not normal either. âMy brother says Lang Ruoxian is missing?â
Yan Hua takes her hand. âDonât ask anything! Because I know nothing either!â
âOK! I wonât ask.â Fei Ying nods. âLet me know if thereâs anything I can do for you.â
âWhereâs Fei Shan?â Yan Hua asks. âI canât film his show for a few days.â
Fei Ying replies yes. âIâll inform him.â
She takes Gungun back home and finds several bodyguards in Lang Ruoxianâs flat next to her house.
âThey will protect you as long as you stay in the house.â Xiaokai says as he is leaving. âGungun canât go to school these days, because the bodyguards canât follow him to the classroom. We should be very cautious.â
Yan Hua surely understands that if Lang Li really catches Lang Ruoxian, then his next target may be her.
âIt wonât be long.â Xiaokai adds. âShu Sheng got Young Masterâs lead, theyâre on their way.â
When Shu Sheng arrives at the hospital, as he is told on the phone, he finds a cell phone with a satellite image in the toilet of the emergency room.
âQuick! Be quick! Go here now!â
On the map image is a red dot, which refers to a mountain located 60 kilometers away.
Meanwhile, Lang Ruoxian takes a drink of water and asks. âWhat more do you want to know? My high school, or college life?â
âYou were found by the Lang Family in high school. Lang Li didnât admit your identity but he gave you whatever you need.â The man in the wheelchair asks. âDo you hate him?â
Lang Ruoxian can hear his voice shivering in spite of his efforts to control it.
âWhy should I hate him?â Lang Ruoxian smiles. âHe didnât know I existed. My mother was very sick when she gave birth to me. I was sent to an orphanage after she died, and it was my father who found me.â
He pauses and adds. âI should thank him, shouldnât I? At least he made me who I am.â
âYou never hate him, really?â The man in the wheelchair asks again.
Lang Ruoxian knocks the water bottle on the floor. âItâs not me to hate. Itâs his present wife to blame. Now that you looked into me, you might know how much his current wife hated me. She even cursed me... to death.â
âBoss...â A bodyguard approaches the wheelchair with a phone. âThereâs an accident.â
The man in the wheelchair takes the phone and begins to tremble after listening to a few words. âYouâre all rubbish! You canât even control a woman!â
The man must be flustered and begins to gasp, breathing very difficult. The bodyguard takes out a bottle of medicine quickly and gives him to take in a quivering manner. It takes a long time before he stares at Lang Ruoxian again.
He gazes at him for so long that Lang Ruoxian starts to wonder if he is going to kill him.
âYou can go...â
Lang Ruoxian raises his eyebrow. âAre you sure?â
âGo or stay here forever.â When he lifts his hand, the bodyguard points a gun at him.
Lang Ruoxian gets up, patting the dirt, and goes into a car behind them. He says, leaning out from the window after he starts the car and turns it around.
âI donât know who you are or what this mean. But I hope we wonât meet each other again. Or next time will be my turn...â
With that, he steps on the gas and the car speeds away.
