Tang Cao and Fang Diandian almost climb to the ground in fright.
âDid you just hear that?â Fang Diandian covers her chest and asks, âDid she call Mr. Tang?â
Tang Caoâs face is a little bad and he says, âNo. We must have heard it wrong.â
âThen why are you so afraid?â
Tang Cao squints and says, âWhy are you so keen now?â
âHum! Do you keep something from me?â
âNow is not the time to say that.â Tang Cao opens the curtain. The woman below has broken free and run over. She clings to the tree in the tree house. Two men are dragging her. Other visitors are attracted by the sound and come out to watch them.
âPlease help me, Mr. Tang!â The woman keeps shouting.
This time, Fang Diandian hears it clearly. She is stunned and thinks that the voice is familiar to herâ¦
âShe isâ¦â
Tang Cao looks at her indescribably, âItâs Hong.â
That day, when Lang Ruoxian said that Hong should be dead, Tang Cao was in a cold sweat.
âWas it a ghost that we saw?â He shouted, trying to suppress his voice, âBut she still walked in the sun during the day.â
âAre you silly?â Lang Ruoxian mocked him on the other end of the line, âWho said sheâs a ghost?â
âYou said she was deadâ¦â Tang Cao wiped his forehead. He was in a cold sweat.
Lang Ruoxian paused for a moment and simply told him, âI suspect she may be controlled by some foreign organizations.â
âWhat do you mean?â As a playboy, this is beyond Tang Caoâs comprehension.
âShe may not be dead but I donât know why she was falsified.â Lang Ruoxian explained, âShe was taken abroad and given a new identity by someone. But she can never come back because sheâs dead here.â
Tang Cao understood, âIs it possible that she has committed a crime and then changed her identity and fled abroad?â
âNo.â Lang Ruoxian told him that Hong was a common rural woman, who had a car accident a few years ago and fell down a cliff and was burned to ashes.
âIs her approach to me a coincidence or a plot?â Tang Cao, a person of this status, is very sensitive to interpersonal communication. Otherwise, he would not doubt Hong and ask Lang Ruoxian to investigate her.
Lang Ruoxianâs answer was.
âI donât know.â
Finally, he said, âIf she has a plan, it means that she knows your identity. You can try to see if you can meet her in the next place. If you can, she must approach you on purpose.â
âI thought she would show up when we went back to the capital of Rui Country, but I didnât expect she would come hereâ¦â Tang Cao tells Fang Diandian everything, âShe just knew my name. It seems that she approaches us on purpose.â
Fang Diandian is in a daze. Why is her honeymoon so creepy now?
âThen⦠What shall we do now?â
Seeing that she is really scared, Tang Cao hugs her heartily, âDonât worry! Iâm with you!â
Although he is a playboy, he has to stand up to protect his women at this time. Whatâs more, Lang Ruoxian said that K in the foreign country has already come here. Maybe he will arrive soon!
But⦠Now he has to face it himself.
Tang Cao presses Fang Diandian onto the sofa seriously, âYou stay here. Iâll go down and have a look.â
He hesitates for a moment and says, âIf something happens, you must not come down!â
âI⦠I want to be with you.â Fang Diandian cries. Tears come down.
Tang Cao grits and decides to go with her!
When Hong sees them coming down, she looks as if she has seen the Savior. She didnât cry before. But now she suddenly grovels on the ground and begins to cry.
âWhat do you want to do to my friend?â Tang Cao asks the two men in English.
Seeing him, the two men are stunned. Then they ask, âAre you from Hua Country?â
âIs that important?â Tang Cao thinks of Lang Ruoxian and Tong Yueâs posture on the negotiation table, trying to imitate them, âShe is my friend. She doesnât want to go with you. Please leave.â
Fang Diandian hides behind Tang Cao and beckons to Hong. Hong quickly gets up and runs over.
âThank youâ¦â She whispers to Fang Diandian, âIâ¦â
Fang Diandian glances at her and says, âWe can talk about it later.â
Now is not the time to explain. The two men saw Hong running away and even want to come and catch her. Tang Cao reaches out to stop them, âWhat do you want to do with so many people watching in the daytime?â
âSir!â The man with red hair grabs his companion and smiles at Tang Cao, âYou misunderstood us. We are a couple. She hasnât forgiven me for quarreling yesterday.â
âMy friend and I donât want to catch her, but to take her back. She is a woman! Iâll coax her later. But if sheâs gone alone, it will not be safe. Do you think so?â
Tang Cao also smiles, âItâs you who misunderstood. I said that Hong and I are friends. Do you think I came out temporarily to do justice? Didnât you hear her just call my name?â
The manâs face changes. He just heard Hong calling at the tree house. He thought it was made up by her. Is it really someone she knows?
âHong, is this really your friend?â The other man asks with a warning in his eyes.
Hong is wearing a thin sweater and a skirt underneath. She just cried. Her pale face was red and blue because of the cold weather. But her eyes are firm, âOf course, he comes to spend his honeymoon. He went to my shop so coincidentally.â
Then she takes a look at Tang Cao. Her eyes are invocatory, guilty and determined.
âYou donât want to do anything to him. I can tell you his name. You can go to the website of Hua Country and check it. If something happens to him here, youâll be in trouble.â
The two men look at each other. They really wanted to do something to Tang Cao, but nowâ¦
âSo it is!â The man with the red hair suddenly smiles, âSince itâs a misunderstanding, we will go first. You can have a good reunion with this friend who suddenly meets again. Remember to come back tomorrow. We donât have much time. We will go back to the capital.â
Then he takes a meaningful look at Tang Cao and turns away with his companion.
âLetâs go back.â Tang Cao pulls Fang Diandian and goes up to the tree house. Hong follows them closely.
Fang Diandian locks the door and checks it specially. Then she looks at Hong and says to Tang Cao, âShall I take her to clean up first?â
âOK.â Tang Cao says, touching her head, âDonât be afraid!â
âOK!â
Fang Diandian asks Hong to take a shower and puts on her clothes. Hong baths very fast and she is ready in ten minutes. But Fang Diandian is smaller than her, so her clothes is short for Hong.
âThank youâ¦â Hong kneels down.
Fang Diandian immediately stands up. Tang Cao pats her hand and pulls her back to the sofa, then says coldly, âYou used me.â
âMr. Tang, I⦠I have no wayâ¦â Hong bursts into tears and says, âIâve been waiting for three years. Itâs not easy for me to wait for an opportunity. I⦠I donât want to give up.â
Hong says that she grew up in a rural area of Gui Province and later had the opportunity to work as a waiter in the city. She met a foreign man on a trip by chance. She found the wallet that the man lost in the restaurant. The man thanked her very much and asked her to be his guide.
âThat man is just the one with the red hair. His name is Tang Nasen.â Hong smiles sarcastically, âHe paid me a lot, so I agreed. In the next month, I took him all over Gui Province.â
At that time, Hong thought that Tang Nasen was gentle and rich. For a girl like her from the countryside, he was a prince. Soon she was fascinated. The prince promised to take her abroad to live like a princess.
âHe said that he was not a rich man in Rui Country. But he opened a small shop himself and the business was good.â Hong goes on, âI thought he was more reliable then.â
She was not stupid either. How could a millionaire like her?
âThen I took him home, but my family didnât agree.â
Hongâs parents hadnât even been to Yanjing. A foreigner suddenly appeared and wanted to marry their daughter. They couldnât accept it. Itâs too far away abroad. They disagreed.
âAt this time, Tang Nasen said that something happened in his shop. He wanted to hurry back and let me not worry. He said that he would come back to pick me up soon. But I knew my parents wouldnât agree, so I told him to break up. We had no fate.â
But half a month later, Hong had a car accident in the street. She was already on the boat when she woke up. Tang Nasen looked at her with a smile.
âHe said the accident was arranged by him. My family thought I was dead.â Hong looks into the distance, âI was afraid, for the unknown future. I was even angry with him.â
But under Tang Nasenâs gentle enticement, Hong forgave him and followed him to Rui Country.
âWe got married and had a happy life.â Although she says this, her eyes slowly become dull, âHe was very kind to me. But every Monday, there were very strange guests coming and then they went to the basement together.â
Itâs locked by Tang Nasen. He told Hong that some business partners had left some things in it, which were inconvenient for her to see. Hong didnât care. Later, she found that there were often strange people going down. Although she was curious, she didnât think much.
âUntil one dayâ¦â She shivers, âOne day he took people down again. I suddenly had a stomachache and wanted him to take me to the hospital. But he didnât answer the phone.â
So Hong had to bear the pain and go to look for Tang Nasen.
âThe basement door wasnât closed. I pushed it open easily. Then I saw Tang Nasen put a frozen thing into a special box and handed it over to the guest.â
Fang Diandian feels as if she is listening to a mysterious story. She shrinks into Tang Caoâs arms, âWhat⦠What is it?â
âAn organ.â Hongâs eyes go crazy, âItâs a liver.â
