Under the night sky, all was quiet in the slums of Imperial. The old Victorian hotel stood like a mighty pillar despite its horrible condition that looked like a rock can destroy it. The once tightly shut doors to its entrance slowly opens and four figures wearing masks leisurely steps out.

"I can't believe Ning Mei would have such a vicious heart! If I knew she was this evil, I wouldn't have agreed to meet her by the docks.

"

Walking in front of the group, Nie Chen was fuming with rage at the loss of his boss's baby. Both his arms waves in every direction as he hits the air and legs didn't forget to kick the ground below.

If he could turn back time, he would have come find Yue Ling sooner. Maybe then, he would have been able to help protect her from danger.

He stops in his steps in front of his motorcycle and his breathing turned rapid with his nostrils flaring.

"Ning Mei and Chu Li Xiang are too evil. Both evildoers deserve what is happening and happened to them.

"

He stomps one foot angrily on the ground and he ruffles his hair like a mad man.

"Arg! If Chu Li Xiang isn't dead, I would have tied him up and cement him onto the street so I can run him over with my car millions of times!

"

After they bid their goodbyes to Hu Ma and were taking the elevator down, Liu Shan and Lin Hui told him everything that happened while he was not here. The two men also went into detail of how Lu Tian took care of Chu Li Xiang.

However, despite the despicable man dying so pitifully, he (Nie Chen) still felt it wasn't enough. He wants Chu Li Xiang to die then be revived only to die again and again.

As Nie Chen immerse in his own anger, Yue Ling, Liu Shan and Lin Hui quietly followed behind. The boss, assistant and subordinate did not bother to try and calm him down because they know how he is when angry.

"Boss, what do we do now?

"

Liu Shan stops in front of his motorcycle and asks as he turns to look at Yue Ling. Since they have sent Ning Mei here according to the plan, his boss hasn't said anything about what they should do until the 24 hours is up.

Hearing his question, Yue Ling had also stop in front of her motorcycle. She removes the red hannya mask and a dangerous light flash in her eyes, but only for a quick second before the look in her eyes return to normal.

"Carry on with your regular schedule for 24 hours.

"

Grabbing her helmet, she puts it on then gets on her motorcycle as her words continue.

"Once 24 hours is up, it will be showtime.

"

The engine to her motorcycle revs as it turns on and without saying another word, she drives away in the direction of home.

Liu Shan stares at her departing figure in silence. The expression on his face held no emotions, but only God knows how much he has been wanting to ask. To ask her how she is really doing as she is a person who is very good at hiding her pain.

Thinking this, he turns back to look at the old Victorian hotel.

Never in his entire years of follow Yue Ling have they done what they did to Ning Mei to anyone else. Not because they couldn't, but because they were not the type of people to do something like this.

As a matter of face, everyone from Fate hates anything that involves rape.

However, this is an exception.

Ning Mei may act like an innocent person on the outside, but she is full of evilness. If she can go far as to sleep with married men and blackmail other men to get what she wants, she can consider those beggars from Dark Clouds as men who will help her reach her 'dream'.

His eyes slowly blinks and he ends his thoughts. Holding his helmet with his hands, he place one leg over his motorcycle to sit down then puts on the helmet. Turning the engine on, he drives in the direction Yue Ling had gone.

Behind, Lin Hui had just put on his helmet when he saw his boss leave then Liu Shan. He gasps inside at how they ignored him and quickly follows after them.

Oblivious to the other people, Nie Chen continues to mumble incoherently to himself. He puts his helmet on and finally turns to look at the three people.

"Yue Ling, how can you be so calm at—

"

His words fell and he could only swallow his remaining words. His eyelids grew heavy by the second and he could not believe that while he was venting his anger, Yue Ling, Liu Shan and Lin Hui had dare to leave him behind.

Not only that, he didn't even notice when they left, let alone even hear the sound of their engines turned on.

His chest heaves heavily and he revs his engine like an angry beast ready to unleash his wrath upon the world.

"You're all dead meat!!

"

He roars an angrily growl into the night sky and drives after the three people to catch up to them.

As Yue Ling and her three subordinates leave the slums of Imperial, no one bother to care about the situation Ning Mei is in. It was as if they had never been to Dark Clouds but were a group of friends enjoying a night cruise under the starry sky.

Back at the house, the dark metal gates open as Lu Tian's black Maserati Levante Trofeo pulls up. Sitting on the driver seat, the aloof man held a frowning expression when he saw Liu Shan's car parked outside.

However, instead of it being parked in the driveway, it was parked right outside the gate.

He found it rather strange since the assistant has the gate code to get inside.

Just when the thought came to him, he quickly press on the accelerator and sped towards the house.

He had been out dealing with Wei Hongyi. Could it be that something happened to his wife while he was away?

Parking his car right in front of the house, he swung the door open. He didn't bother to turn the engine off and sprints for the front door.

"Yue Ling?!

"

He calls out for his wife the second he pushed open the door. At the same time, he didn't forget to frantically search for her with his eyes.

Taking a step inside he checks the entire first floor including the back courtyard, then the second floor.

"Yue Ling?! Inu?!

"

His voice sounds again, but this time he also searches for the Samoyed as he knows the little guy will never leave his wife's side.

However, the only thing that greeted him was an empty house in the silence of the night.

He stood in the middle of the upstairs hallway and his brows crease tightly together.

Reaching inside his coat pocket, he takes out his phone and call his wife, but right after one ring, the call went straight to voicemail.

His eyes flash dangerously and calls another person on speed dial.

"Assistant Xu Long here.

"

"Locate my wife.

"

Lu Tian quickly gives a short order the second Xu Long answered the call. He doesn't say anymore and ends the call to try and call his wife again.

This time, the call rang three times before the line connects and the sound of passing wind can be heard from the background.

"Hello? Tian?

"

Hearing the sweet angelic voice of the woman he loves dearly, Lu Tian finally remembers to breath again. The knot in his chest from worrying was also loosening, but not all the way.

"Where are you?

"

"I'm sorry for not letting you know. I had some things to take care of with my subordinates, but we're heading back now.

"

Lu Tian sighs inside in relief at her words. For a second there, he though he was going to have to turn Imperial upside down to search for her.

"Tian, it's too loud, I'll see you at home.

"

Yue Ling's words fell from the other line and she quickly ends the call as the passing wind and the sound of motorcycle engines were too loud to talk over the phone.

Even though the call ended, Lu Tian still held to phone near his ear. He is curious to know where she went, but he'll wait for her to get home and ask.

For now, he can be at ease knowing that she is fine and with her subordinates.

Turning for their bedroom, it didn't take long for him to enter the room. He puts his phone down on the bedside table and grabs a set of sleeping clothes in the closet.

He then heads for the bathroom as he decides to take a quick shower before his wife gets home.

Seconds after he closed the door, the sound of running water can be heard from inside the bathroom. However, at the same time, the black screen on his phone brightens up and the sound of his ringtone plays inside the bedroom.
