The race was on… Who would be the first to find Professor Petrovich. Will it be Lord Knightley who has all the resources, Yun Shen who Professor Petrovich promised to help or Elizabeth, who has gained some of her memories about the man. However, will the memories she recovers be enough for her to find his current whereabouts or will it only lead her to a dead-end?

Yun Shen was on his way back to China hoping that the girl has return home as well. She has no identification and even if she does forge one, it will only make it easier for them to find her and catch her. This means; she'll return home and look for one of her friends, who can help her make a fake identification for her… That is why Yun Shen thought she would return to China since her current friends are her. Plus, Lord Knightley will surely have gained control over her friends in the west.

However, Yun Shen found everything a bit suspicious. Lord Knightley has not done anything to intervene as if he already knows the girl's current location.

"Tell me, has there been any news of Li Zi contacting her friends?"

"Chairman Yun, I've sent men to follow Miss Li Zi's cla.s.smates and family. It's been days and I don't see Miss Li Zi ever planning to contact them."

"Are you sure?" Yun Shen frowned confused as to why things aren't going according to his plans. "She needs money, she needs her identification…"

"Chairman Yun, I really don't know what Miss Li Zi is thinking. Maybe she is still back on the island and has not made her way out."

"Impossible, someone like Li Zi could fool any man and they would pity her. With a face like that, who wouldn't pity her."

"Then… Chairman Yun, what should we do?"

"Continue to observe her friends. I'm sure she'll contact them soon."

As his subordinate left his office, he came walking in was Li Yefeng who seems upset about something.

"First Bro-"

Without any warning, Li Yefeng punches Yun Shen in the face causing him to lose balance and fall back a few steps.

"F***! You Shen! I mean, was all of this necessary? We thought you and Li Zi were dead, I didn't expect you'll go this far just for what? Shen, she's not by your side still and she'll never be… Have you really lost your mind for a woman? Shen, your mother has been crying in her bed for months, she is in the hospital now because of you! Chairman Yun has been searching all over the country for you! G** D*** it! Weren't you upset that your grandfather is wasting his time looking for a dead person whom you can't find? Yet here you are adding to your grandfather's pain. What the h.e.l.l were you thinking?!"

Those cold words coming out of Li Yefeng mean nothing to Yun Shen. His heart has turned into stone and has gone blind because of love. He does not care what others think all he wants is to be with the girl.

What they said about love can make a person blind and do crazy things. That is what Yun Shen is currently experiencing. He was willing to do crazy things for a woman whom he loves but is unsure if the woman still loves him back.

"Shen, did you even think of how Xiaotong will feel? Shen, he let you have Li Zi but why must you let him suffer as well. He left you to go with her and he gave Li Zi her freedom to go with you but you didn't have to make him suffer. You can even cause the Zhao family to go insane. I know Lord Knightley knows where Li Zi is and is keeping a blind eye and ears on everyone including his family because of you. But, why? Was it all that necessary?"

"You don't understand?" Yun Shen responded blankly as if his soul was not intact with his body.

"What don't I understand? Are you saying I don't know what it means to love someone so badly? Shen, we have all been there… We all have loved someone so much that we are willing to do all sorts of crazy sh*t! But, to even cause so much pain to your own family and best friend… B***S***! You've gone too far!"

"It's because she needs to pay for the life she took from me!!!" Yun Shen went wild and pushed Li Yefeng aside.

"What are you talking about? Li Zi saved Little Yan before, she saved Little Yan more than we can even think of. Yet, you're saying she needs to pay the life she took from you. Li Zi has not done anything like that. Shen, Li Zi did but Little Yan in danger before but she saved Little Yan and nothing happened. So, why must you do something so extreme?"

"You don't understand, you don't know what I've been through, why she must stay by my side and Little Yans'. You don't know and you will never know the suffering we went through?" Yun Shen spoke with such hatred in his tone.

"Shen, why does it sound as if you hate Li Zi. As if she'd done something so awful to you? Shen, I though you love her? But why does it sound as if you want to punish her as well? Shen, what's going on?"

"First Brother, it's best you don't know. The more you know the more it will make things harder for you. Just take care of the company for me while I'm gone. Make sure to contact me if something bad happens. I'm sure it won't be long for Lord Knightley of the Zhao to attack the company for what I've done." Yun Shen explained with so much confidence as if he's not affected by what to come.

"Shen, tell me? What is going on? I thought Lord Knightley only does not want you to be with Li Zi because your Yun family is in danger. Don't tell me there is another reason as well to this? Shen, tell me g**d*** it!"

"I am not the heir to the Yun!" Yun Shen directly shouted at him, frustrated with all the nagging and question.

"What? What are you talking about?" The look on his face was filled with confusion. As if he just heard something so outrageous and unbelievable.

"The real heir to the Yun is Little Yan's mother who pa.s.sed away a few years ago. Meaning, the rightful heir is Little Yan. But, since Little Yan is still a child, the next heir is Yun Bai for his is my father's illegitimate son."

"What, what are you talking about? Isn't Little Yan your daughter? What sister? The Yun's never have a daughter…"

"My sister was born secretly and I was brought to the Yuns' secretly as well. It is why Lord Knightley is so against of my existence. However, he kept mentioning that I will only be a replacement for someone important in Li Zi's past."

"Wait, you saying Lord Knightley knows who your real parents are?"

"Hmm…"

"Does Li Zi knows?"

"I'm not sure, but I have a feeling she does know now. But, still… I won't let her go."

"Shen, what's the point in chasing her when she can't be with you. Her family will never agree for you two to be together. She is the heiress of the Knightley family and a royal princess. Who are you compare to her? I mean, even Xiaotong isn't fit for her…"

"That's not the point…"

"Then, what's the point in all of this? I don't understand why you need to make so many people suffer from just one girl?"

"It's because of her, a simple girl, because of this so-called one girl, so many people are suffering yet she does not care. Just because of this one girl selfishness and craziness so many people suffer. Just because of this one girl, so many lives have been lost. You don't know and you will never know."

"Shen, I know Li Zi has a dark side in the past but that was because she was brought up in the underground society. Plus, she is a Knightley… They have strange and strict training in order for them to survive in this world. You can't blame her for that. I'm sure, what she did in the past she never meant any of them to happen."

"Hha, then, she should return the life she took."

The more Yun Shen spoke about life and what the girl took made things even more confusing for Li Yefeng that in the end, he decided to give up and stay silent. Seeing the man seems to have lost himself, he left the room without any further words.
