"I believe when you woke up from your 'supposed accident', Mingshen would also have been there with Wei, right? I bet there had been no nurses or other hospital staff."

  Lihua remembered the dark room where she first opened her eyes. There was indeed only Wei and Mingshen. It was his office, not a proper ward where a patient who had undergone an accident should have been admitted.

  "Mingshen hypnotized you and locked your memories while Wei beautifully wrapped you in his story," she chuckled.

  Shen Yang gritted his teeth. He lightly held Lihua's wrist. "Madam, let's go. Don't pay any attention to the woman who had only ever plotted against people."

  Ruomei said as he looked up at him, "Then why can you not admit that I am lying? Say to Song Lihua that it's all a misunderstanding. Say to her that there is no connection between Wei and Song Jia…… Tell her that he didn't kill her. Tell her that he didn't selfishly snatched her identity and become her husband without caring about her feelings. Tell her that this kid is also lying to her."

  Bobo bit his lip and his eyes turned my misty.

  Sis Jia……dead?

  Shen Yang glared at her.

  How the hell did she get to know all this about Boss? It's impossible for her!

  Ruomei continued. "Even your best friend. Meng Ya tried to tell you the truth, but Wei……well you can imagine the rest. He told Fu Renshu to 'take care' of her. Whoever will try to tell you the truth will have a horrible end."

  She shook hard.

  Did that mean that Meng Ya was also dead?

  Seeing her pale countenance, Ruomei was extremely satisfied. Ever since she was thrown out of the Jiang villa, she had been waiting for a chance to ruin her life.

  Now she was finally getting what she wanted.

  She was seething in rage that she was tortured in the base and then forced to leave China while Lihua and Wei enjoyed their life together.

  I would live in misery? No way! This day was bound to come after how you made me suffer.

  Shen Yang said, "Madam-"

  "Shen Yang," Lihua quietly looked at him. "Tell me the truth. Was Song Jia- s-sister really investigating Wei? Was she really undercover in Jiang villa?"

  He clenched his fists. "She is lying!"

  "No, she is not."

  A voice came from the back.

  Ruomei looked at the figure behind Lihua who just came rushing into the cafe. She smiled.

  Perfect timing.

  Lihua turned and furrowed her brows seeing a strange man before her.

  Shen Yang rapidly blinked his eyes and they widened in realization.

  Wait a second……he is that man who Boss ordered to keep in the base. Isn't his name Mo Huojin?

  What the hell is he doing here!? How did he escape from the base? What the fuck is happening?

  Does Boss know about it?

  *Flashback*

  Mo Huojin hadn't been sitting in vain in Wei's base for the last six months. It was challenging, but he was keeping an eye on the guards, their routine and their shifts. He had completely memorized which guard took turns to keep an eye on him.

  He knew that a straight charge at them won't help him escape the base. So, he was studying his surroundings to find that perfect time for his escape. He didn't cause any commotion in the past months and behaved as an obedient prisoner to lower their guards. It was human nature.

  Once the guards realized that Mo Huojin wasn't making a fuss and causing them problems, they slowly began to ease up and slightly relaxed too.

  During that time, he also learned where his sister, Mo Hina, was kept. She wasn't tortured like her brother and was treated well in a good room. However, she was still not allowed to go out until Mo Huojin agreed to Wei's demand.

  Out of all the guards, he waited for that man's turn who was the most relaxed and less threat to his plan. As soon as he came, Mo Huojin acted normal in the beginning and time passed by. He then casually asked him to uncuff his wrists for a bathroom break with absolutely no change in his expression. Everything was normal as always.

  The guard didn't feel anything wrong.

  So, he went ahead and uncuffed him. Mo Huojin walked for a few seconds in front of him but then suddenly jabbed his elbow right at the guard's face. The guard collapsed and fainted.

  It was so sudden that the guard didn't have any time to react at all.

  Mo Huojin then quickly grabbed his keys and unlocked the room where his sister was kept.

  "Big Brother!" Mo Hina came rushing to him and hugged him as she sobbed.

  Mo Huojin took a look around the room and indeed she was kept really well. But she was still a prisoner with no freedom.

  "Stay behind me, okay? We gotta escape."

  Mo Hina wiped her eyes. "Yes."

  He dressed as the guard who fainted and took his gun. He dragged him back to his room.

  "Lower your head and don't say anything. Just follow my lead," he said to his sister.

  "Can we finally leave?" She sniffled.

  "Yes. But before that, we have to take someone else with us too," Mo Huojin narrowed his eyes.

  Xia Nuan, the cop who was undercover with Jia, was kept in the room beside where he was. From the bunch of keys, he unlocked her room too.

  Xia Nuan lifted her head. She had become quite thin in these last months. Even though the guards gave her food, she would always refuse to eat it.

  She widened her eyes. "You…"

  He put his finger on his lips and she immediately nodded her head. She understood his plan with the way he had dressed as a guard.

  Under the mask, Mo Huojin hid his face. He kept them at gunpoint and walked ahead. When he met the other guards, he simply gave an excuse that Wei, their Boss, ordered him to bring them to him. The rest of the guards didn't find any fault. His disguise was perfect and he had altered his voice too.

  Mo Huojin whispered. "Let's go."
