You poked his eye! Bad! He is hurt!

  　　Jiang Zhen stared at the small chip in Xinyue's hands. "You bastard! What is that-"

  　　He lunged towards him, snarling but in Wei's single signal, his guards caught Jiang Zhen in time and forced him to kneel on the floor.

  　　He froze.

  　　Wei stepped before him and tilted his head. "Remember something from a few months ago?"

  　　Once Wei was in his position, bent on knees and forced his head lowered before Jiang Zhen. But now the tide had reversed. Jiang Zhen was forced into a corner just like that day.

  　　"Jiang. Wei!" He yelled at the top of his voice, only to be echoed in the villa with no response. His fingers twitched with an urge to tear the smile off his face.

  　　Xinyue smirked and placed the chip on his palm. "What you did was right. Fooling your army after disguising as Shen Yang would have been difficult. That's why I had already made the preparations. It was risky, but I disguised myself as one of your guards one night."

  　　Jiang Zhen widened his eyes.

  　　"He didn't even realize what happened. While 'patrolling' your villa, I was searching for a good place to put my chip and the small camera embedded in it. I wanted it to be on a moving target which was when I snuck into Ruru's room that night."

  　　Ruru remembered that night very well. At first, he was terrified. But he remained calm nevertheless when he saw someone's presence in the room.

  　　"I am not here to hurt you. I am Lihua's brother."

  　　His black orbs widened in shock.

  　　"I want to take her out of this place. Do you know that your father has forcibly brought her here?" He narrowed his eyes.

  　　Ruru trembled and hugged his teddy bear. He slowly nodded.

  　　"But taking her out will take time. For that, I need to know about your father's men and underworld. I want my eyes and ears in this house and where all his men are. Do you want to help me?"

  　　Ruru's eyes teared up. "Lihua…leave?"

  　　He stared at him. "She has to one day. But if you will be good, you can always meet her whenever you want."

  　　He pursed his lips and found some comfort in his words.

  　　"I want something to put this thing in," he showed a chip with the camera in it.

  　　Ruru tilted his head. "Why don't you ask Lihua…?"

  　　He sneered. "That woman? She cannot keep secrets. Her face will definitely give something away. She is very expressive. If I tell her, she will be too nervous all the time, and the last thing I want is your father catching her."

  　　Ruru's small nostrils flared, hearing him talking disdainfully about Lihua.

  　　This brother is mean!

  　　Xinyue glanced around the room and his gaze fell on his teddy bear. "So you carry this everywhere?"

  　　Ruru protectively held his bear and nodded.

  　　His eyes glinted with a thought. "Do you want to help Lihua?"

  　　Thinking about his tyrannical and selfish father, he felt his chest burning with a desire to help him.

  　　He always hated Jiang Zhen. He abused Jiang Hua and treated her like a slave. He saw his mother cry numerous times but what he hated even more was that Jiang Hua never fought back. He used to dream that they would leave this house and live a life without his father who always cursed them. Even towards his own son, he was never a good father.

  　　He began to resent Jiang Hua because she never took any action. But in his small heart, he always wanted to do something to change this situation. He was a child and before the adults, he had no power.

  　　But now that Xinyue offered him a chance, he wanted to grab it with his tiny fists.

  　　Ruru nodded hard. "Help Lihua!"

  　　He smiled. "Good. So the next thing you will do is start accompanying Lihua wherever she goes."

  　　Ruru bobbed his head in agreement.

  　　"Great. You are a smart boy. Give me your teddy bear now."

  　　Ruru blinked his eyes rapidly.

  　　"I told you about the chip, right? You carry the bear everywhere with you. That's what I want you to do. Take your bear with you wherever you go outside."

  　　Xinyue grabbed his bear and to Ruru's horror, he poked its eye out, fit the chip and put the eye back.

  　　"This is connected to my piece, so I will see and hear everything."

  　　My friend…
　　Ruru suddenly started hitting him on his chest in a fury and with tears pooling his eyes.

  　　"……"

  　　"Your bear is not hurt. It doesn't breathe so it's fine."

  　　Ruru - "……"

  　　"Lihua is very nice. You are not…you are mean. You are a monster…" Ruru sobbed. "Lihua always loves my friend. Not hurt like you."

  　　Xinyue grimaced.

  　　Kids are…
　　"I cannot stay here anymore. Do what I have said and things will soon change one day. And don't cry. Your friend is strong and brave."

  　　Ruru glared at him.

  　　At present, Jiang Zhen was utterly baffled.

  　　No wonder…
　　That day when he said he would give Lihua a tour of his base, Ruru was adamant about joining them. He remembered he had that teddy bear with him too.

  　　Then he accompanied Lihua at all times during her campaign.

  　　The bear recorded all the information about his base and other vital data Xinyue needed to plan his army replacement strategy. It also served as an evidence against the drugs and prostitution business.

  　　He sneered. "That's also how I communicated to Jiang Wei's family about Jiang Ruiling's disappearance. Remember he was there when you and Lihua witnessed his 'craziness.' Through Ruru's bear, Iet Jiang Weiyuan know that his daughter was safe. Then how can I forget the main course? The day when I replaced Shen Yang. It was your son who helped me."
