It was a karaoke room.
Seems as though they had rented out a cheap room where the caras won’t work too well to catch their actions, where no one would have minded upon seeing a high school girl who seed delirious being caught by the young boys into a karaoke room.
Li ZiChen watched everything while holding down the livid emotion swirling in his heart. He felt as if he wanted to enter the screen, to be there and to bring AiLin out of the hands of those people but he can’t. It kills him to think about what he could have done if he was there but he wasn’t. He wasn’t able to be there for her.
"She’s unconscious finally," said soone with a laugh. When he walked into the cara, his red hair burn the screen. This young man had a plate na on his uniform that was large and clear, ’HangZhou’. It was the son of the politician, HangZhou, as well as OuYang’s boss according to AiLin’s newest information from the kidnappers.
"I told you that she’s too vigilant but there’s only one way to make her drop her guards," said another one young man with the glasses and the disgusting smirk as he pushed his glasses to his eyebrows. The na of that young man is ’TaLu’. Though he wasn’t rich at first, his family soon gain wealth when he was in high school. TaLu was soone who hated the rich, thus his discriminatory against wealthy children, especially the girls though Li ZiChen knew how hypocritical of this as TaLu himself then turn into those wealthy children he despise upon his family’s success.
Another young man ca into the cara, staring at AiLin for a long while. Her clothes had been torn apart, showing her underwear, these n themselves had taken pictures for their fun, crawling on top of her as though she was a lamb surrounded by the hungry wolves, "She’s gorgeous. So sad that her first ti would be with soone she doesn’t rember." The na on that young man who seed prettier than the rest is "FaIn" unlike the rest, FaIn didn’t have grudges against AiLin. He simply participated because he thought it was fun. FaIn now beca a Boss of a casino house.
Three people. Those three people is the sa three young n whose nas were listed by AiLin.
"You did well," chuckled HangZhou while looking at the cara. "I didn’t know that she would drop her guard in front of you. We will make sure to compensate you well."
Li ZiChen gritted his jaw as he saw them moving toward AiLin altogether. As he slamd his fist down the table, the video was suddenly blacked out. Soone rushed into the room, a loud fight and clatter then entered his ears. Li ZiChen’s anger then turned into confusion as he sat down back to the chair, listening to the conversation and the surrounding of the fight.
TaLu, the glasses boy seed to be punched as he yelled, "What are you doing here?!"
Soone else then spoke out and that was HangZhou, "What the fuck?! How did you find this place— No! Bai HaiZe!"
Li ZiChen’s eyes widened slightly. Bai HaiZe. That young man. The one that was loved by AiLin.
His knuckles had turned so white with how tight he had clenched his fingers together. He had bitten down his lower lips, trying to hold back the anger that surge into his heart as he heard the na Bai HaiZe. But it seed in this video, it proved that the person who had helped AiLin was Bai HaiZe.
No wonder AiLin had always had a soft spot for Bai HaiZe. After all, the one who had helped her that ti was Bai HaiZe... not him. Not Li ZiChen.
The video was cut after that fight. It seed however, Bai HaiZe could successfully bring AiLin away from the hands of the people who wanted to assault her.
Li ZiChen was thankful that the whole process didn’t continue into sothing even worse but... emptiness filled his heart.
He wondered what AiLin feels about her savior, Bai HaiZe. If there was only one platform, would she choose Bai HaiZe in a heartbeat? How could she not? After all the person who had saved her in high school was Bai HaiZe, not him. He wasn’t there. He wasn’t able to save her, so how could he feel angry that he wasn’t chosen? All he felt was regret and disappointnt.
He slamd his own fist down his knees, trying to calm himself down but find his heart subrging into sadness. Li ZiChen took his ti to process the informations he had seen. The fact that indeed those n, FaIn, TaLu, and HangZhou are the next three people whose lives need to be ruined. He needed to be careful as not to kill them before AiLin could move as he had almost killed OuYang back then when he had cut his fingers and his tongue.
Though it seed he needs to see that disgusting blackmailer again to gather more information about HangZhou.
Li ZiChen’s mind had cooled down quickly. He clicked his mouse, staring at the torture thods that were listed by YanLan, his cousin who was always attached to help him with all his plans. He scrolled downward, wondering what could make HangZhou to despair as much as OuYang did?
After a while, Li ZiChen humd, "This sounds good." He seed as though he was browsing into a shopping website, his grin wide and his smile so bright as if he had just won an award. He then looked at the small fra of AiLin’s picture that was of her in middle school after being chosen for the student council. He gently patted on it, "You don’t need to dirty your hands, AiLin. I’ll do it for you."
By morning, AiLin yawned as she heard Li ZiChen who had spoken gently, "I’ll pick you up for the therapy session. You’re free the whole day, so you can go on to wherever you like."
"Hmm, I don’t have places to go to."
"Then why don’t you visit JingYi in JS entertainnt?"
"What?" AiLin recalled what had happened in JS entertainnt and could tell that she would be eting with the hopeful writers of the movie she was going to turn down by this evening. Not wanting to feel guilty, she responded in a small voice, "Uh, for what would I be going there for?"
"Oh, it’s nothing. You told you like the novelist of Death By Your Hands right? She’s going to be there today to congratulate the actors and actress picked for the movie."
"Oh..." but she was going to turn it down... AiLin felt torn as she really respect the novelist and had always wondered if she could have a chat with the novelist herself but to see her and to turn down the offer of being an actress of such a beautiful story? She was going to die from sha!
"And other than that, JingYi is in a trouble so I thought I could ask you to help ," Li ZiChen placed the rice into a bowl and settled it in front of her, his eyes not eting her, shy and ashad for asking help.
AiLin blinked. This was her first ti ever asked for help by Li ZiChen! How could she turn this one down?
She decided to push the story, "What happened? JingYi is in trouble? But I don’t know if I could help with it."
"Well you see," Li ZiChen continued to talk while AiLin listened to the story closely. Her eyebrows gradually furrowed tighter as she listened on the entire story. Once done, she placed her spoon beside her plate with an insidious expression.
"What? He’s being stalked?!" AiLin shook her head, "But you think the stalker is in the company so you want to look about it?"
"I wish I could ask soone for help and I know this could be dangerous but just like Canary, JingYi doesn’t like to tell about his problems. I knew about this from his secretary and while I want to put my own n around my little brother, it’s going to attract too much unwanted attention and that would drive the stalker before I could catch their tail."
"True," AiLin humd, "I seem to be a better choice."
"But you’re not going alone," Li ZiChen crinkled his eyes. "My Cousin will be there with you."
The next day arrive with AiLin standing in front of the apartnt’s entrance. A man stepped out of a black car, dressed in a bright and gaudy purple Hawaiian shirt with splatters of bright red and li yellow. He had a black sunglass resting on his eyes, his hair as long to his neck and he had an odd grin that only pull the left side of his lips every ti he smile as if he was born to only give out a smirk that would make him appear suspicious.
He hopped over her, raising one hand, "Hi! Hi! Welco to YanLan handyman service," as AiLin thought he was joking, the young man pulled out his na card and settled it to her hands which had a golden border around the rectangle na card. "I do everything for anyone in help! Need to look into soone’s identity? Ask ! Need to fix a light bulb in your bathroom? Ask ! Need to kill— I an to scare soone? I’ll co in a heartbeat!"
AiLin blink at the na card that indeed say that YanLan would do anything from gardening to climbing the South Pole if asked...
She slowly pulled the nacard down to see the young man’s face that was indeed as handso as everyone in the Li Family though he looked sillier than the rest, having not even an ounce of Li ZiChen’s coldness.
"Are you really Zi Chen’s cousin?"
"By blood yes! By personality? We’re as different as Fire and Water!" He said proudly while tapping his chest.
"O-Oh..." AiLin responded awkwardly.
