“What happened?” Qing Han asked, his voice immediately changing. I could tell that he sounded worried.I shook my head. “A man warned us. When I look around, I see them. They keep looking at us,” I said.“Okay. I want you to stay calm. I'll be there in a few minutes, but I'm sending someone. Just stay on the call,” he said.I nodded and pulled Tuan Tuan closer to me. I kept looking around us in fear.I heard Qing Han call someone else and give them directions. I just prayed in my heart that they got there in time.But when I noticed the men walking more obviously towards me, I tensed up even more. “Qing Han…” I called. “They are here. I don't think we will have enough time.”I could hear his engine revving from the other side. He was obviously speeding.“I want you to look across the street. There is a building marked Royal Ferries. Do you see it?” he asked.I stood up and quickly scanned the area. When I saw it, I quickly nodded my head. “Yeah, I see it.”“Okay. Start walking towards

Initially, I had thought that Huang Yan was just trying to have a conversation with me. But when I saw the camera, I realized that he was deep into it with them.“I really don't know anything about my dad,” I said, shaking my head. I was scared that things would really get bad.Huang Yan stared at me deeply for a second before he scoffed. “No one would believe that, Chen Xiu. I think my time with you here is done.”“No! You have to listen to me! I really don't know anything about my dad! Why do you want him anyway?” I asked.Who exactly was my dad? And did that mean that he was alive?“You chose the hard way, Ah Xiu. Even I can't help you,” Huang Yan said and left the room.“Yan! Come back here,” I tried to shout, but it all didn't work out. I could only sigh and try adjusting myself on the chair. The knots were so tight that I could barely move.A few minutes after he left, the door was opened again. A middle-aged man with long beards walked in. A few other men followed in, carrying

I didn't know how much I had been out, but when I opened my eyes, it was dark everywhere. I gasped and groaned in pain.It felt very painful even to just breathe. It was like my lungs and air passages were filled with water. It was almost the same feeling as when you accidentally choke on water.My hands and legs were still tied, and I was in pain too. I tried to call out, but my voice was barely audible.The door was once again opened, and the lights switched on. The bright light made me shut my eyes. It was almost blinding, especially after being accustomed to the darkness in the room.“I see you are awake,” Mr. X said, and I shivered a little.Just like before, he pulled a chair and sat in front of me. “You are so weak, Chen Xiu. I'm sure that another round of torture could kill you. Why don't you just tell me what I want to hear?”This time, I didn't even want to play along. The pain I had was unbearable. I tried to breathe calmly, hoping that the pain in my chest would go away.H

The more Qing Han spoke, the guiltier I felt. He had missed all those things in Tuan Tuan's life because I kept him away.My hands tightened a bit in his. “I'm sorry,” I whispered. “Maybe I shouldn't have kept him a secret at all…”Qing Han shook his head immediately. “No,” he said. “I have been thinking all these days. I wanted to blame you for that. But I realized that I was the one at fault.”“Um…”He held my cheeks and smiled gently. “It's the job of the man to take care of his family. He should not give any excuses whatsoever. I should have been careful enough to notice that you were pregnant before you left. I should have followed up to know how you were doing. So this is all my fault.”I sighed and looked at him helplessly. “So you don't blame me anymore?”He sighed too and shook his head. “No, I don't. I just feel a little bad that he doesn't even know who I am. He has acknowledged Mo Xuan as his father and…”“Even though Mo Xuan has always been there for him like a dad, I hav

Qing Han didn't have to explain more. I realized that the person who had been after me all that time was Ru Wanran's brother.I furrowed my brows. "When did he become a scientist or whatever?"And Qing Han furrowed his brows more. "That's what I'm trying to understand. Did they tell you what they wanted you to do?"I immediately remembered the conversation I had had with them. "Me? No! They wanted to know about my… father?"I paused a little. The more I thought about it, the more confused I felt."What?""Your father?" Qing Han and Mo Xuan asked at the same time. They looked at each other and then back at me.I shrugged. "Yeah. And I was just as surprised as you both," I said.The only time my dad had ever been mentioned was when my family criticized me for being a bastard that no one wanted. So when people started asking me about him, I couldn't help but feel scared.Qing Han moved closer to me again. "What exactly did they say?"I shrugged. "They wanted to know where my father is. T
