No sooner had Xuan Da Yu brought the tied up Wang Zhi Shui home than a sudden phone call forced him to go to Ma Cao. It was one week later when he had finally finished taking care of business and returned.

Before he left, Xuan Da Yu locked Wang Zhi Shui into a pitch black room where five to six people took turns to guard him.

During this entire week, Wang Zhi Shui's life revolved around this dark room, three times a day his meals were brought to him. There was literally no differences to his time spent in prison, the only altered fact was that he no longer had to share space with another convict, the treatment here was better as well, and it was quieter.

All through his trip, Xuan Da Yu dedicated most of his thoughts to Wang Zhu Shui, he would make at least a few phone calls everyday to make sure his prisoner hasn't escaped. The instant his work was finished on this end, he immediately booked the earliest flight back, no hesitation.

Once home, the first thing he did, even before changing his clothes, was calling out Wang Zhi Shui's guards and interrogate each one of them.

"How has he been these few days? Did he give you any trouble?"

The person in charge said, "No, he remained exceptionally trustworthy, not one word of complaint."

Xuan Da Yu snorted coldly, "What game is he playing, we don't know yet."

"I went to check on him twice, his mood was perfectly fine, he even asked me for a cigarette. I'm feeling particularly frustrated, you see, for a normal person to be trapped in that kind of condition, spending his days with no one to talk to, no information, he wasn't even allowed to take a quick stroll outside, it should have driven him to craziness. But this guy is just the opposite, he can spend a whole afternoon playing with a bunch of bugs."

Xuan Da Yu switched footwear, "But you can't use the "normality scale" for him, that's wrong, because he's not freaking normal!"

"Would you like me to bring him to you now?" The guard said.

Xuan Da Yu nodded, "Go on."

Wang Zhi Shui was sitting cross-legged on his bed "meditating" when suddenly a bright light hit his lids, forcing him to open them up. A rat faced man indicated for him to exit the room.

"Big Brother Da Yu has returned?" Wang Zhi Shui asked.

"Yes, he's been missing you every single day, quickly come out here."

The main guard pulled Wang Zhi Shui into the bathroom first to wash him and spruce him up for Xuan Da Yu's presence.

Xuan Da Yu, who was wearing a flowery shirt, sat lazily on the cushy sofa, cigarette in hand, leisurely flicking through some documents in his hand, being the epitome of a rich kid.

Wang Zhi Shui, on the other hand, was forced into a kneeling position at Xuan Da Yu's feet, his head half turned up. A large man snatches his hair backwards, forcing him to look directly at Xuan Da Yu.

Xuan Da Yu scanned Wang Zhi Shui's body and coldly said, "You certainly seems chubbier from the last time I saw you, not a bad mindset, I see!"

Wang Zhi Shui breathed in deeply, "Big Brother, what perfume are you wearing? Such an exquisite fragrance."

"Exquisite?" Xuan Da Yu laughed coldly, "Then I'll spray some on these men's dick for you to smell all night long, maybe even taste it. I can assure you, you won't forget."

These words immediately brought on a roomful of laughter.

Wang Zhi Shui's face paled considerably, "Too much joking isn't funny."

"Who the hell is joking with you?" Xuan Da Yu's eyes glared.

Wang Zhi Shui diverted his gaze towards the window, not looking at Xuan Da Yu anymore.

Xuan Da Yu grabbed Wang Zhi Shui's chin and harshly twisted them back, he smirked, "What? Finally knows how it feels to be scared?"

"I'm not scared." Wang Zhi Shui said quietly, "But my heart hurts."

"Bullshit, you don't have a heart to hurt." Xuan Da Yu's eyes showed a glint of taunt, he lifted his head to look at the men around the room, "Did you hear that? The son of a bitch says he has a heart!"

His callous eyes then returned to Wang Zhi Shui, "I felt sorry for you, but then you continued to steal, and now you can't fucking be talking about your 'hurting heart'?"

Wang Zhi Shui said, "I tricked you because I like you, I know that little bit of money is nothing to you. I was afraid you would forget me, so I was forced to do something you'll remember me by."

"Oh for fuck sake!" Xuan Da Yu pushed Wang Zhi Shui to one side, "Hell, a malicious bitch like you really makes people want to become malicious..."

A large man standing beside him used his Tai Ming dialect, "Malicious people will end up in the same house one way or another."

Everybody in the room was trying to hold in their laughter.

Xuan Da Yu slammed the documents in his hands down onto the table, "Be quiet!"

Wang Zhi Shui continued, "Each time I stole from you I would always leave clues behind for you to find me, but you were to dense, you never found me, that's why I had to think up such a clumsy plan. The first time we met again was at the casino club, think about it, how can there be such a coincidence? If I had jumped into another person's back wouldn't that mean you would never have been able to catch me?"

"So I made up a story to tell you, then I stole your precious watch, all for you to remember me by. After that, I even drank people's wine to get caught, just think about it, who would ever be as stupid as to not leave immediately?"

Xuan Da Yu's thoughts were on the verge of being led away by Wang Zhi Shui's words, luckily, he didn't stray too far.

"Of stop the bullshiting! So what about stealing from Xia Yao? Are you saying you also like him?"

"I didn't steal him because I like him but because I was jealous with the thought of you liking him."

Xuan Da Yu's head exploded, suddenly, the looks that he was given from around the room made him uncomfortable, it took him a minute to completely calm down. I can't believe his words, he has a mouth like a bullet train, one glint of trust and you're dead.

Xuan Da Yu leisurely leaned back against the sofa, his menacing eyes started straight at Wang Zhi Shui.

"So according to your words, your coming here is fulfilling your wish?"

Wang Zhi Shui glanced around at the strange men, "Without these people, then yes."

"Ha ha ha..." Xuan Da Yu laughed out loud, "My bad, you chased after me, but these guys chased after you. Don't you like men? Big Brother especially prepared a dozen dudes for you, do you think this is enough?"

A few men rubbed their palms together and approached Wang Zhi Shui.

Wang Zhi Shui's face paled, "I like men, no lies."

"I knew it!" Xuan Da Yu indicated around the room, "and because of that I have prepared a roomful just for your appetite."

"No, you've got it the wrong way." Wang Zhi Shui pushed away a bunch of teasing hands, quickly redeeming himself, "Because I like men, I truly value my virginal flower, I want to save it for my true love."

Xuan Da Yu burst out laughing, oh for fuck sake, can you find a reason that's anymore scarred to persuade me?

His large hand swung out to indicate to the men to start their job.

Five six guys began ripping off Wang Zhi Shui's pants, the rest pulled their own down to expose their manhood. In a tick, the room was filled with human odor.

Admiring such a sight without a snack is a waste, so Xuan Da Yu picked up a sweet biscuit and watched eagerly.

Wand Zhi Shui's shirt was teared apart, his pant snapped open, they used his captured hair to force his head towards their crotch. Wang Zhi Shui closed his eyes, locked his jaws, and fought with all his might to not give in.

"What's keeping you?" Xuan Da Yu became anxious, "I'm here eating biscuits not for him to watch! Stuff your meat into his mouth, quick."

A muscular guy squeezed Wang Zhi Shui's mouth open, but before he had the chance to do anything, Wang Zhi Shui had already bit him hard. This dude immediately screamed like a dying pig and kicked Wang Zhi Shui over.

As he slammed down onto the ground, Wang Zhi Shui didn't forget to yell at Xuan Da Yu.

"Xuan Da Yu, I really do like you, I knew I had fallen for you the moment I heard your name."

Xuan Da Yu pretended to be deaf, nibbling his biscuit he said pointedly at the gang, "What are you waiting for, take off his underwear!"

Wang Zhi Shui had a death grip on his underwear, his face was bright red. But still, he bravely shouted.

"A scholar prefers death to humiliation!"

Xuan Da Yu nearly choked on his snack upon hearing that humorous remark.

Suddenly, a loud bang echoed from within this noisy mess. It all happened in the blink of an eye, everyone surrounding Wang Zhi Shui parted.

When Xuan Da Yu saw blood on the ground, he truly did choke.

Fuck! What is this situation?

Wang Zhi Shui lied there unmoving, blood poured from his nape down to the cracks in the tiles. His clothes have been ripped off, only leaving a few tattered pieces on his bottom. Both hands were still holding on to his underpants tightly, his body in a curled up position.

Xuan Da Yu moved forward and flipped Wang Zhi Shui's body over only to discover that blood was gushing out from his forehead and he has fallen into a coma.

What... How can he act so spontaneously?

Xuan Da Yu froze for a second before screaming at the people next to him.

"What are you standing there for? Come and give me a helping hand to take him to the hospital."

* * *

Xia Yao was at Yuan Zong's company helping the TV station staff set up when he received Xuan Da Yu's phone call.

"Where have you been for the past few days?" Xia Yao said in a resentful tone, "You never picked up when I called."

Xuan Da Yu hesitated, "Come over, a problem has arise."

Xia Yao immediately hung up and ran over to the hospital.

Xuan Da Yu was smoking on the hospital staircase when Xia Yao arrived, "What happened?"

Xuan Da Yu told everything to Xia Yao, who couldn't help but frown.

"Didn't I tell you to control yourself? How could you have let this life threatening situation happen?"

Xuan Da Yu wasn't exactly joyous either, "How was I supposed to know he values his daisy more than his life?"

Xia Yao mentally slapped himself. If he had known this would happen he would never have handed Wang Zhi Shui over to Xuan Da Yu, but punish him himself. If he'd done that, none of this would ever be.

"So how is he now?"

Xuan Da Yu answered, "He was taken here yesterday, today he was transferred from the emergency room to a normal one, he has finally escaped a life threatening condition."

"Take me to him."

The two walked inside Wang Zhi Shui's room but weirdly could not find a shadow, so they hurriedly went to find the doctor in charge. The doctor said, "He's gone."

"Gone?" Xuan Da Yu was taken back by the news, "Isn't he suppose stay here for further inspection?"

"That's right, we told him the same thing, but he demanded to be discharged, we had no choice but to respect the patient's wishes!"

Xuan Da Yu had no way of accepting this, how the hell did this guy disappear in one cigarette? Here quickly ran to the window and peered down to see Wang Zhi Shui getting on a bus.

"Quick, come down with me!"

The elevator was to slow so they took the stairs instead, but by the time they rushed out onto the streets, the bus was nowhere to be seen

Xuan Da Yu was even planning to run to the car park but was ceased back by Xia Yao.

"There's no need to chase him, you will never be able to catch up. By the time you get into your car the bus would have already made its final stop."

Xuan Da Yu stomped his feet in indignation.

"Fuck sake, I lost him again. That brat must be scared about me punishing him again."

Xia Yao didn't say anything, "No, it's because he really is short of money."

Xuan Da Yu couldn't understand what Xia Yao was saying.

Xia Yao explained, "If he had really wanted to run, why not catch a taxi? Why did he have to wait for a bus?"

Xuan Da Yu didn't utter a word.

He suddenly remembered Wang Zhi Shui's last words "thank you for the medications you donated". He then had an uncomfortable feeling in his guts. How did this person I hate make me feel like I owe him something?

Xia Yao sighed heavily, he looked to Xuan Da Yu.

"What's your next move?"

Xuan Da Yu said, "Continue the search."

"You're still going to find him?" Xia Yao mentally sighed, "He has been through enough torture, why don't you try to be a little bit more humane, why are you always trying to work up trouble with him, what does that even bring you?"

Words were stuck inside Xuan Da Yu's throat for a long period before they finally spilled.

"Hell, it has now become my habit!"

Xia Yao, "..."
