chapter 8

In the morning, Hai Rin wearing a black dress that she borrows from Zi Fei. They walk to the cemetery ground and visit her mother's tomb.

She put her palm together and said inside her heart.

'Mommy, thank you for keeping me by your side during my childhood days. You were my best friend ever. I couldn't ask more from you as I know you didn't abandon me without a reason and I love you with all my heart. I hope you will find your peace and please lend me some strength to move forward. I wish, I too could live a happy life as you had with dad.'

Yu Lin also do the prayer and said inwardly.

'I've found my sister, mom. Thank you for giving me a sister and I'm sorry for misunderstanding you when you were still alive. I don't know at that time why you were always at Calestical city and left me with dad. After I know it, I feel guilty that I'm not close to you as I am to dad. But mom, you're always in my heart since then and now.'

After they both put down their hand, Yu Ran walks close behind the twin and hug them from behind.

"Thank god I still live and see this moment happen. I promise to take care of them, Ling.." his voice sounded sad.

'Dad must be missing mom.' Yu Lin thought. He feels sad for his father too. Since his mother died, he never saw his father get any closer to any woman. Sometimes, he saw his father stare at the huge frame picture with a sorrowful expression.

Zi Fei just stands near the three of them. She also feels sad about what had happened to their family because of Rong Yuan's doing.

After they visited the tomb, they continue went to her father's military base and introduce Hai Rin to the staff and their units there. They all were super friendly towards her father and them like one big family.

...

8 AM in Lee mansion.

Richard open his eyes when he heard the bird already chirping at the outside of his balcony. He couldn't even close his eyes the whole night.

He sits at the edge of the bed and looks at the floor absent-minded. After some time he has been sitting there, he finally moves and took a shower.

After done, he skips his breakfast and goes to his study room. Turn on his computer, he sits at his comfortable chair and he starts his daily routine to check on his E-mail first.

Mostly is regarding work that needs an urgent signature but there's one e-mail that looks suspicious to him. He scrunches his eyebrow a bit before he clicks to open it. The content was simple and it also has an attachment file with it.

He clicks on the video attachment. He looks carefully at the video as his eyebrow starts frowning. After a moment, his eyes turn dark. His body starts to feel like there's a huge fire inside. He tries to control his anger.

He closed his eyes for a second and took out his phone from his pocket. Tried to control his voice, he said calmly to the receiver.

"Meet me at the location that I will send to you later. We need to talk."

After he sends the location, he calls Andy Lu to send the SWAT team and get ready when he gives him a sign later. He changes his casual shirt to a full leather jacket suit. He also brings a bag pack with him.

Getting ready to go to the location, his private phone suddenly ringing from his pocket.

He looked at the caller ID before he sighing and answer it.

"What did you planned to do?"

"Something that should I do a long time ago."

"Have you get the fourth location yet?"

"Not yet."

"Then how do you planned to find the last location if she's gone into custody?"

"She won't. This is the fastest way to find it."

"Whatever you plan on doing, this mission cannot be failed. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

He ended the call. Start his Yamaha YZF-R1 bike, he rides out from the mansion.

..

After 30 minutes, he arrives at the location. It was located on the outskirt of the city. His secret house.

Su Zhin was there smiling contently to the man who just arrived. He looks stunningly handsome in her eyes. She arrived early than him. When she receives the location for their meeting she could not help but feel a bit joyed.

Richard takes off his full-face helmet, walks to her, and said: "Let's go inside."

"Aww~ darling..you're being so romantic to bring me here. Do you remember, this is the first place our meeting right?" she clinging into his arm. She already excited to think that Richard will do something good to her.

Richard pulls her hand gently like always. Whenever she tried to cling on him or hug him, he surely will break release her embrace slowly. But people often see it wrongly and thought that he doesn't mind with the clinging and hugging from her. He actually minds and wants to push her in a natural way.

When she walked inside the house, she sees his furniture looked entirely different from the last time. But, she did not pay attention to it. It's been a long time after all.

She takes a seat at the couch, while Richard takes the sit in front of her.

He took out an envelope from his backpack and pass it to her.

"Hmm..what is this?" she lifts up her eyebrow a little.

"See it yourself." his voice was still calm.

Su Zhin feels something was different from his way of talking to her and his gaze also looks different from usual. She then opens the envelope and sees the content in it.

It is full of her picture with Rong Yue. Her hand trembled a bit.

"Darling..listen.. this..this is not like what you think..this is..this is.." she lost her word.

"Now, will you listen to me?"

Su Zhin face turned pale.

Richard pulls out another document from his backpack and passes it to her again.

"I think these details inside are accurate, don't you think?"

Su Zhin looked at the document. Her eyes widen and feel like want to pop out from its socket. It was details about her dark past.

And all of the details that were written inside are accurate.

The document on her hands, states that she has been sold by her father to the Rongs since her father can't pay the loan that he takes from the Rongs many years ago.

She was just 10 years old at that time, her father abandoned her and sold her to Rongs without a second glance at all. However, Rong Yuan was not interested in child trading. He then makes her as a plaything to his son, Rong Yue.

Since then, she being Rong Yue's plaything. Rong Yue already 17 years old at that time. He always tied her up to her bedroom and do something inappropriate to her.

When she was 15, Rong Yue force her to go to the night club that he owned and spike her drink that night.

That is when she met Richard. She tried to escape from him and go hid at the prostitute house. After a week, Rong Yue totally went crazy looking for her around the town. After she was forcefully returned to his house, he finally makes her as his woman. With the safety Rong Yue provide for her and the sweet promising from him, she becomes his lover.

When Rong Yue knows about how she met Richard, he used her to get close to Lee's family. With the promise that he would not tie her up again and let her live her normal life again. And she agrees to the deal. The reason is Richard holds mountains of gold and he also had much authority around the world.

Using his power and money, she and Rong Yue can enjoy the wealth and use their power once Richard was married to her. They also planned to kill him after she married him.

"Eight years ago when I learned about your past, I feel sorry for the fate that you have to go through since you were young." Said Richard to broke the silence between them.

"I took you in under my care and declared you as my girlfriend, so that, Rong Yue will give you a little bit of trust and let you live your way without him tied you up in his bedroom again."

He paused a moment before he looked into her eyes and said with a cold voice.

"So, is this how you repay back my kindness? I want to provide you protection, but you keep return to him and used me to satisfy your greedy needs."

Su Zhin already wants to cry. She trembling and said.

"Richard..this.."

"What? Not like what I thought? Then explain to me why did you try to kill my wife?"

"No. I'm not.." she shakes her head tried to deny it.

Richard pass her his phone and play the video. Upon seeing the video she cried out loud.

"No! This is not me who did this..it's Rong Yue's idea! I don't know. I swear!"

"Then, tell me about this."

Richard walks to the cabinet in the living room and takes out an arrow and an ID card inside it.

"This is the people that you hired to kill my wife aren't you?"

She gasps. 'Shit! What do I do?' She took out her phone and call Rong Yue on her phone secretly, tapped her phone using her finger making some morse code sending help sign to the man.

She shakes her head, "No...It's not me. I don't know him." after she has done tapping her phone, she threw herself to the floor kneeling in front of Richard with her teary face and sobbing hoping that Richard will turn soft to her.

"I can still tolerate you if you just want to play with my money. I don't care about money, it's not an issue to me, but I really can't tolerate with you again if you do something to my wife."

Hearing Richard keeps saying the word 'my wife' made her go mad. She furiously bristles to him.

"Richard! She just the fake actress that you pick her up at the street. She's not your real wife! You pay her to be your wife but she is not. You never liked a woman."

Richard becomes stiff. He looked at Su Zhin's face with his blizzard eyes.

"Who said that she is not my real wife?"

"It's true. You pay her right? You pay her for goddamn billions just for the play!"

"Whether I pay her or not, she still holds the certificate. And you are not!"

"Heh! But, you never liked a woman in your entire life."

"Who said that I never liked a woman?" his tone turned even colder than before.

"You can't deny it, Richard... You never lay your hand on me before. I'm your girlfriend for about 8 years! 8 years Richard! It's so damn long and you never once appreciate me!"

"So? Just because I've been with you for 8 goddamn long years does it make me need to get laid with you?"

"No man can resist me!"

He lift up his eyebrow. Shocked with her statement and confident.

"You're not attractive enough for me to lay my hand on you. Only one woman can make me lay hand on her. And that woman is not you." his voice was firm and clear.

"You.."

"Su Zhin, from now on. You're not my girlfriend anymore. Even so, I still will give you a protection for your own good. You will be held into custody and cooperate with the police."

As he said that, a troop of SWAT already surround the house. A group of man wearing utility uniform and complete with the equipment arresting her. Andy Lu also walk inside the house look at her with a disgust look.

She can't moved after seeing the trooper pointed their glock pistol on her head. Her wrist was handcuff by one of the squad and she has been detained by the police.

A troop of SWAT squad was securing her in the armor vehicle on the road. They taking her into to the prison and she was treat like an A class criminal.

.

.

From afar, Richard and Andy also ride their motorbike to the other road and was much faster than the convoys.

Not long after, the convoy go into the tunnel. When they reach at the middle of the tunnel suddenly a big container truck hit the first defends.

While in the back there were ambush by a group of black car. The van that carried Su Zhin was immediately go upside down when suddenly Rong Yue hit the armor vehicle from the side using bulldozer.

Open the Vehicle's door, he instructed his people to take off the chain from Su Zhin's hand. She was still alive and had a minor injury on her forehead.

"Don't you dare to leave me." he said with a cold eyes looking at her.

"Baby!" She feel like want to jump because of happiness.

She knew, Rong Yue wil never abandon her. He is villain but, he is quite loyal to her. Even though the first few years was so hard to her but when he really fall her, it made her feel more safest.

The Rong group left the scene with the troop who is majorly killed by them.

"Richard.." Andy try to voice out.

"Let her go."

"But.."

Richard lifting his one finger making gesture for silent a moment.

He wait for his call to be pick up.

"Ramon."

"I'm on it dude!"

"Good."

He turned his face to Andy's.

Andy lost his word. He knew Richard already knew this will happen.

"Call medic team ASAP." Richard walk out from the small alleys in the tunnel. All his unit has been wipe out by that monster.

"Soon..It'll be your turn to pay the price." he said slowly before he put back his helmet.
