~ Flashback ~

When Wang Lu saw how the man touched Feng Mei, Wang Lu felt his blood boiling. With three large strides, he grabbed the mysterious man by the shoulder, making him bump fall to the ground.

"Who are you and how dare you touch my wife!?"

Even though the mysterious fell on the floor, he laughed maniacally, his head tipping up. It was as if Wang Lu said something very humorous that made him laugh out loud.

"Mr. Wang Lu," Wang Lu's secretary called out to him, his eyes not leaving the man who was on the ground. "This is the man who had kidnapped Ma'am Feng Mei. His name is Gu Zhi."

Hearing this, Wang Lu's eyebrows twitched. He then removed his blazer and had used it to cover Feng Mei who was cowering in fear as tears uncontrollably escaped from her eyes.

Her body stiffened when she felt Wang Lu's suit wrapped around her. However, she felt slightly calmer when she noticed that the man before her did not mean to hurt her.

Wang Lu stood up, glaring at Gu Zhi who now slowly stood up. Wang Lu discreetly looked at his secretary, as if asking for a signal to make a move if ever things could go wrong.

"I applaud your effort in finally looking for this area, Wang Lu," Gu Zhi said, his words chilly. "But thanks to you for taking up too much time, I was able to 'have fun' with Feng Mei."

"What did you do to her!?"

Wang Lu's voice roared, echoing in the vast abandoned warehouse where they are now. Gu Zhi laughed as he shrugged, feigning ignorance as he narrated what he had done to Feng Mei.

"Oh, nothing much," he said, sounding sarcastic at the same time. "I just told her a lot of mean words. I kept here in the dark alone, letting her soil herself. Sometimes feeding her, or drugging her from time to time."

Every word stung only fueling the fire that burned inside of Wang Lu. Every violated phrase was like gasoline to it, his fists beginning to clench and his jaw rooted. It was like one Mentos had been added to the coke inside of him. Wang Lu exploded with anger, his body trembling in rage.

"How could you!"

Wang Lu grabbed Gu Zhi by the collar. He then punched him hard on the face, instantly making his nose bleed. Even though his nose bled, Gu Zhi laughed as if it never affected him—as if he was not hurt at all!

His blood dripped on the ground. With Wang Lu's secretary eyeing Gu Zhi in front of them, he had his hand on his pocket just in case he needed to fish his phone out of his pocket so he could make a call.

Of course, Wang Lu and his secretary did not only come here unprepared. They had called backups beforehand, making most of them wait outside of the warehouse, hidden so their target would not suspect a thing.

Wang Lu and his secretary went inside together on purpose so they could easily assess the place. Of course, with Feng Mei locked inside, Wang Lu would want to come with his secretary to check the location.

However, the very thought of not finding this place quick enough immediately made Wang Lu feel frustrated. It was as if his power was too weak for him to immediately look for the person whom he longed to look out for.

"You asked me… why I did this to your dear Feng Mei?"

When Gu Zhi spoke, it immediately snapped him out of his thoughts. His eyes suddenly turned cold, a glint of malice passing through his eyes.

"Why not ask yourself what you did, huh? Ask yourself what you did—what you said, making me act this way!"

There was anger etched in Gu Zhi's voice. Wang Lu furrowed his brows, unsure of what Gu Zhi was talking about.

"Mr. Wang Lu," his secretary mumbled, cautious as he still had his hand in his pocket. Wang Lu discreetly shook his head, signaling his secretary not to do anything just yet.

"What I did?" Wang Lu dared ask Gu Zhi the question, making him laugh at the same time as if Wang Lu had said something stupid. "What on earth are you talking about?"

"Ha!" Gu Zhi scoffed, "How could you act as if nothing happened!?"

Wang Lu furrowed his brows, confused of what was happening. Gu Zhi now was fuming mad, his face red, his blood still dripping from his nose.

"Because of you, my sister changed! She lost her sanity because of you! How could you reject a girl like her!? How could you choose that woman over my little sister!? Isn't my little sister enough? Is it because you think that she's unattractive?!"

"What?" Wang Lu obviously looked confused by now. "What are you saying—"

"Gu Ren!"

Gu Zhi shouted the name of his sister out loud, getting a photo of her from her pocket as he showed it in front of Wang Lu.

"Don't tell me you forgot this face! This is my sister, Gu Ren! Because she met you—because she met you that she fell in love with you!"

Wang Lu's body froze. When his eyes landed on the photo in front of him, he immediately recognized that it was the girl he saved when he saw young boys bullying her.

He also remembered how he was being stalked by Gu Ren and when he rejected her and had pointed Feng Mei who was waiting for her, that was the last time that Gu Ren also saw Wang Lu.

Now everything made sense. With Feng Mei's disappearance and with how Gu Zhi is venting out to him, Wang Lu could deduce that he was doing this because of Gu Ren, his sister—and it was obvious how he loves her dearly.

"Gu Zhi," Wang Lu's voice was cold. "So it was because of this… that you tortured Feng Mei?"

"Yes!" Gu Zhi was not afraid to admit it. "My sister… my sister wants to torture whoever gets in her way in between your love! I know that you won't ever reciprocate her feelings, but with seeing her this way? How could I let this go? I want to make people pay—make people pay for torturing my sister this way!"

The laughter evaporated from his eyes. His customary warmth gone faster than summer rain. It was pointless to try to reach him now. Wang Lu knew that even though he wanted to talk to Gu Zhi properly, it would be pointless.

As the man before him, too, was at the brink of losing his sanity.

"Gu Zhi," Wang Lu's voice was cold, getting Gu Zhi's attention. "You don't have to do this! But since you have resorted to this, I have no choice but to stop you!"

"Stop me?" Gu Zhi scoffed, "Stop me!? Oh, you will never stop me until I am satisfied! You will never stop me until I would get my hands on whoever woman who would get your attention!"

"Mr. Wang Lu!" There was a warning tone in Wang Lu's secretary. "You have to get to Ma'am Feng Mei now! He might—"

With Gu Zhi suddenly running towards Feng Mei, Wang Lu instinctively went In front of Feng Mei in an attempt to protect her.

"Do it! Now!"

Wang Lu's secretary acted quickly. With the gun that he held in his hand, he accurately shot Gu Zhi two times, making him stagger to the ground as blood started coming out of his wounds.

"Argh!"

Gu Zhi wailed in pain. He immediately fell to the ground, his blood pooling before him as his eyesight started to blur, becoming weak in an instant.

With Feng Mei witnessing this before her eyes, she went unconscious, making Wang Lu carry Feng Mei in his arms for security and protection.

"Y-you…" Gu Zhi desperately gasped for air as he looked at Wang Lu's figure carrying the woman he targeted. "I am… not… done yet… Feng Mei… she will…"

BANG!

Another bullet went through Gu Zhi's head. Wang Lu's secretary did not even see when his boss took his gun. He didn't bat an eye as he was also a trained bodyguard as he watched his boss killed the man.

Wang Lu's secretary bent down, checking for Gu Zhi's pulse. The moment his fingers touched his neck, he could not feel his pulse beating, indicating that he was already gone.

"Mr. Wang Lu, what should we do?"

Wang Lu looked at Feng Mei who was in pain, sleeping in his arms. His eyes then turned cold as he looked at Gu Zhi's lifeless body on the floor, his words cold as he told his next orders to his secretary.

"As long as he's good as dead, it's alright. Do everything you can to make sure you cover this issue up. Nothing's more important than Feng Mei's safety and security."
