*Flashback continued*

  The first thing that Mo Huojin did after stepping out of the base was taking Mo Hina to a safe place, out of Wei's reach.

  They were finally free.

  Xia Nuan gritted her teeth. "That Jiang Wei! He-he killed Song Jia…"

  Mo Huojin was silent.

  "We also have to find Lihua."

  "I hope she is okay."

  "She is not. Jiang Wei…… loves Song Lihua."

  "What!?" Xia Nuan was aghast. "Are you kidding me? He loves Song Lihua, the sister of the woman that he killed with his own hands?"

  "That's what I realized when we met last time. Jiang Wei was really furious that Lihua used to meet up with me. He was clearly jealous, and he also warned me of the consequences," he quietly said. "I am pretty sure that Jiang Wei must have married her by now. Lihua seemed to like him too, so it's not impossible."

  Xia Nuan trembled. "How can she…"

  "She doesn't know the truth, Nuan. To her, Jiang Wei is nothing but a good man."

  Xia Nuan bit her lip. "This is preposterous! How dare he shamelessly fool her? He had the nerve to love her when he killed his sister!?"

  Mo Huojin patted her shoulder. "But now the time has come. Let's find Lihua first."

  As they did so, a certain unknown woman met them as she hid her face. She said she knew where they would find Lihua.

  "I was expecting your escape around this time. There was no way that you would have stayed obedient for the rest of your lives stuck up in that base."

  Mo Huojin narrowed his eyes. "Who are you?"

  "Doesn't matter. What matters is that you can find Lihua today. Just come to this address and you can finally free Lihua of her misery. This is the chance that you can expose Jiang Wei."

  She left without saying anything further.

  Xia Nuan had her doubts. "Should we trust her?"

  Mo Huojin said, "My instinct says that we can trust her for now. We don't know her motives but I felt her hatred for Jiang Wei. I saw her clench her fists when she uttered his name. Her goals and our goals are the same at least for now."

  *Present*

  Lihua saw another woman coming right behind him.

  Shen Yang had no words to express his shock. Even the second prisoner was out.

  What the hell are these guards doing!? Are they sleeping? How can both of them escape together?

  Mo Huojin smiled. "It's too late to inform Jiang Wei anyway. By now, Lihua knows almost everything. We are just here to prove it."

  Lihua shivered. "Wh-who are you?"

  Mo Huojin stared at her. He still couldn't believe that Wei would go so far as taking away all her memories. She didn't remember anything. Her life, her friends, her sister…… everything was gone.

  He stood before her. "I am Mo Huojin."

  Xia Nuan said, "I am Xia Nuan. I used to work with your sister and was a part of the undercover mission with her. But…"

  She clenched her jaw.

  They slowly revealed everything to her. Lihua couly only silently listen to them in a daze.

  The pictures that Bobo showed her, the gaps in her memory, Shen Yang's hesitation and silence upon the truth and now the witnesses who proved that not only Jia existed but how she was murdered too…


  Lihua felt completely blank.

  After a long silence, she started to laugh as tears streamed down her cheek. "Y-you all are wrong. My Wei will never betray me. You have no idea how much he loves me. You-you all are lying to me! I know that Wei will have an explanation for everything! Ju-just you all wait. Wei will prove everyone wrong!"——

  Coming out of a shop, Wei stared at the small box with a gentle smile on his face. He opened it and looked at the beautiful diamond ring again that he had specially made customized just for Lihua.

  Today was their six months anniversary and the perfect chance to wear the ring in her finger. Their marriage happened in a hassle, so Wei didn't have the chance to get the best ring for her.

  So how could he miss today's chance?

  He was already excited imagining her expression when she would wear the ring. Looking at the ring, he missed Lihua. He didn't want any compromise on the ring, so he had left early in the morning.

  I want to hear her voice……

  Wei quickly pulled out his phone. He was shocked to see so many missed calls. One was from Lihua and the rest were from the guards at his base. There were multiple missed calls from Fu Renshu too.

  He was about to call Lihua when he heard a frantic voice.

  "Boss!"

  Wei turned and saw his assistant, Fu Renshu hastily running towards him.

  "What is it?" He coldly asked. Wei was still quite annoyed at him for bringing up that topic of saying the truth to Lihua.

  "It's bad news! We have been trying to reach you for so long but…"

  "Lihua's gift. I didn't want any disturbance."

  Fu Renshu said in distress. "But now we need your intervention. Mo Huojin and Xia Nuan have escaped!"

  Wei froze.

  "……What?"

  "Yes! The other guards found the one unconscious who was on duty. Even his clothes were sacked. Mo Huojin, Xia Nuan and Mo Hina aren't in the base anymore!"

  Wei blankly stared at him.

  Not in the base……The first person Mo Huojin would meet will be…


  As if a huge mountain collapsed on somebody, the crushing pressure in the air suddenly increased.

  "Find. Them. Right. Now."

  Suddenly, his phone buzzed at the same time and he saw Lihua's number. He quickly picked it. "Lixue! Where are you? You are at home, right? Stay there. I will-"

  "Wei…"

  He stiffened sensing something wrong in her voice. "What's wrong, Lixue? A-are you alright? Your voice doesn't sound well…" he panicked.

  Fu Renshu paled.

  Did they already reach her?

  "Please come here…" she burst into soft sobs, "Please come here quickly. They-they are all saying bad things about you. I cannot hear it anymore. Come here please…"
