That Special School was harsh in the discipline of their students.

In order to prevent the students from escaping from their harsh rules and regulations, the instructors actually worked on s.h.i.+fts round the clock to guard the place. The school was also surrounded by high walls and barbed wire fencing.

I attempted to run away three times! The first time when I failed, I was so badly beaten up that I couldnt walk for three days. The second time, I almost lost my life

He gave a pause and narrowed his eyes slightly as he mourned over that terrible piece of memory. The third time, I succeeded, his voice sounded hoa.r.s.e. However, it was not because Im really good at this. It was purely because Xie Wanwan sacrificed herself.

Xiang Wans heart sank.

She held his hand back, tightly.

Although there were only the three of them, it was still tough for Bai Muchuan to tell her about this.

That night, there were four instructors on duty. Two of them patrolled around the school whereas two were standing guard near the entrance. Xie Wanwan told me that she could help me take care of the two at the entrance. She told me to grab the opportunity and run away!

Grab the opportunity?

What opportunity?

Xiang Wan looked into Bai Muchuans brooding expression.

This was something that he had never mentioned to her before.

Xiang Wan had never asked him about this in-depth. He didnt want to tell her about it either.

At that moment, she suddenly understood something from Bai Muchuans face.

Next to the duty room was the gate, which was locked all year round, even during the day. That night, I hid outside the duty room and when I saw Xie Wanwan waving her hand I dashed inside to take away the instructors clothes to take out the keys They were naked so they couldnt chase after me

I ran very fast. When I got out of the main gate, I heard Xie Wanwans pained screams

No wonder!

No wonder Xie Wanwan was rejective of physical contact.

No wonder Xie Wanwan wanted him to pretend to be her boyfriend and he didnt object to it.

Xiang Wan looked at him in shock. The feeling toward Xie Wanwan now got even more complicated.

I told her that I would definitely go back to save her Cough Cough, cough

Bai Muchuan then started to cough violently.

His shoulders moved as he coughed.

He had lost quite a lot of weight during this period and his face didnt seem as healthy and sunny as in the past.

Now that he was coughing, he seemed paler; his eyebrows furrowed, the creases were obvious to see. His lips were peeling and he hadnt been shaving his chin

Xiang Wan was distressed at that sight. She hugged Bai Muchuan although Cheng Zheng was there.

Only then did she realize that Bai Muchuans body was stiff as a rock.

Bai Muchuan, you made good on your promise. All of the students were saved because of the two of you. Both of you are really brave.

Yeah! Bai Muchuans face had become calm. During that period, I was frustrated as the adults who kept saying that they loved their kids, were not the ones who saved them from the horrible ordeal.

Cheng Zheng was startled and looked at him. Dad was full of regret and had been blaming himself.

Bai Muchuan sneered. So what if he did?

He wanted to bring you back home, said Cheng Zheng, but, he was worried that history might repeat itself and you might get hurt again Uncle Bai was his best buddy and someone whom he could trust. Dad had your best interests at heart when he entrusted you to Uncle Bai

Cheng Zheng might have wanted Bai Muchuan not to brood over what happened in the past by trying to explain what consequently happened.

However, he had overlooked the point that the more he tried to explain Cheng Weijis acts, the more rejective Bai Muchuan would be.

Its true that I became a fine man. Bai Muchuan revealed a smile but one would have problems ascertaining if his smile was genuine or sarcastic. If I was not with the Bai Family, many things wouldnt have happened and I wouldnt have gone to Red Thorn He looked at Cheng Zheng seriously. Red Thorn is the unit that groomed me. If there was no Red Thorn, I, Bai Muchuan, wouldnt be what I am today.

What a person had today was formed by a countless amount of yesterdays.

No matter how many painful experiences he had gone through, all these experiences had molded him into who he was today.

As long as one was able to endure and get over it, one would see dawn after experiencing the darkness.

Bai Muchuan had learnt all of these during the days in Red Thorn.

So, I dont feel hatred.

No, you do. Cheng Zheng felt it difficult to say that. Youve always felt hatred.

I only ignored you and him. Its not hatred. Theres no need to hate those that I dont care about.

He doesnt care, huh?

Cheng Zheng took a deep breath. Do you know why the moment you asked to get posted to Jin City, I also followed along?

Bai Muchuan just looked at him without much expression.

I actually didnt want to come back from overseas, said Cheng Zheng, Dads the one he forced me to come back and go to Jin City.

Why? Bai Muchuan replied, So he sent you to spy on me in case Ill seek revenge?

Cheng Zheng puffed a sigh slowly. Look at you. How can this not be hatred

Bai Muchuan turned toward Cheng Zheng. Just when he wanted to talk, he started coughing again.

Alright, thats enough! Xiang Wan quickly stopped him as their stances and tones were starting to feel confrontational. She patted Bai Muchuans back and persuaded him. Do calm down, youll still unwell.

A while later, Bai Muchuan stopped coughing.

Xiang Wan took the paper napkin from Cheng Zheng and wiped Bai Muchuans forehead and mouth. Then she quickly changed the topic.

Theres something that I havent been able to understand.

What is it?

Ye Lun said something to me. He told me that if not for him, I would have been dead in the hands of Cui Ming This is really strange, right? Why did Cui Ming want to kill me? Also, why did Ye Lun protect me?

Bai Muchuan looked towards the emergency operating theatre and remained silent.

Xiang Wan muttered softly, Looks like I can only get an answer from him.

Bai Muchuan did not respond to that.

The light in the emergency theatre was still on.

The three of them sat on the chair and waited quietly.

Xiang Wan started to feel tired. Bai Muchuan let her rest on his shoulders.

She gradually fell asleep but was awakened by the ringing tone of Bai Muchuans mobile phone.

When she opened her eyes, Bai Muchuan had covered her with his coat on her shoulders. She leaned against Bai Muchuan like a baby bird. Cheng Zheng was nowhere to be seen. There were only the two of them sitting outside the operating theatre.

Xiang Wan yawned but she didnt make any sound as she listened to Bai Muchuan talking on the phone.

Over at the other end of the phone, Salimus voice was clear and crisp. Boss, Ive thought of everything I could but I cant open the flash drive.

Bai Muchuan grunted in displeasure. Oh, so there are also things that youre unable to crack? Didnt you used to claim that you could settle the security systems of the Pentagon within minutes if you want to?

Cough, cough, cough Salimu laughed awkwardly then spoke in a serious tone. This is not an ordinary flash drive. Its not that I cant open it. Its just that if I crack it without the pa.s.sword, the flash drive will self-destruct the data inside Im worried that I wont be able to recover it.

Alright, you should take a break and dont force it. Bai Muchuan paused for a while. Maybe you might come up with another method for all you know.

Salimu chuckled. Alright boss.

Why are you acting cute?

Alright! Captain Bai, goodbye.

Hmph!

When Bai Muchuan put down the phone, the doors to the operating theatre opened.

Xiang Wan looked towards the doors and saw Cheng Zheng walking out.

He was wearing a pale green uniform like the operating theatre personnel.

Bai Muchuan.

His tone sounded heavy and he suddenly looked towards Xiang Wan.

Ye Luns awake now.

Mm. Bai Muchuan glanced over at Xiang Wan before turning back to Cheng Zheng. How is he?

He might not last long, replied Cheng Zheng, he wanted to see Xiang Wan.
