"F***" Long Xun cursed angrily as he punched the pillar that was next to him in anger. "How could you say that to me? What gave you the right to say that to me?" Long Xun roared as he punched the wall again and again. His hands were getting bruised but he didn"t stop.
But before he could punch the wall once again, Housekeeper Qin intervened. "Long Xun, why are you hurting yourself for that man?" he asked.
"Uncle Qin, did you hear what he said? What does that guy think of himself? Why does he need to show me his concern when he the reason behind my downfall?" Long Xun asked.
Housekeeper Qin kept silent. He took hold of Long Xun"s hand and quickly placed an ice pack on his swollen hands which were brought to him by one of the servants. "Calm down Long Xun, " he said.
"How can I calm down after this?" Long Xun screamed s.n.a.t.c.hing his hand back. Knowing that was disrespectful towards Housekeeper Qin, Long Xun stepped back. Taking a few deep breaths he apologized, "I am sorry Uncle Qin. I shouldn"t have screamed at you."
"It"s fine Long Xun. I can understand what you are going through right now." Housekeeper Qin said.
Long Xun sighed.
"I want to be alone for some time, Housekeeper Qin. Make sure that no one disturbs me tonight," he said.
"Long Xun then what about those people in the dungeon?" Housekeeper Qin asked.
"I will take care of them tomorrow..."
Housekeeper Qin nodded. "Okay, then I will send your medicines and a gla.s.s of juice for you."
Long Xun nodded and then he walked upstairs towards his room. Seeing him going up, Housekeeper Qin smirked. Finally, he got the needed chance to rescue Li Youbin"s family. Tonight he was going to send Li Roulan and Yu Rus.h.i.+ away. With this thought, he walked towards the kitchen to make orange juice for Long Xun.

Long Xun went into his room and then he closed the door with a bang. Walking towards his closet he opened it and took out a picture of his parents. This was the only picture he had of his parents with him.
He looked at the picture of his parents and tears started filling in his eyes. This picture of his parents was taken on their wedding day. In the picture, his mother looked beautiful and young and she was wearing a wedding dress while his father looked handsome in the suit.
In the picture, his parents were looking at each other so lovingly. Anybody with eyes could tell how much Long Xun"s father loved his mother by just looking at the picture.
As Long Xun was looking at the picture, there was a knock on the door. Long Xun kept the picture and walked toward the door. He saw Housekeeper Qin outside with a gla.s.s of juice and his medicine.
Long Xun took the medicine and quickly gulped it down with the gla.s.s of juice. "Thank you, Uncle Qin," he said and closed the door.
Taking the picture of his parents, Long Xun sat down on the ground. All the memories flashed inside his head. The first time he met Zhehan, the start of their friends.h.i.+p, their fights, their playfulness, their fin times, their promises... he remembered everything.
Why?
Why did they do this to him?
Long Xun cried holding the picture of his parents. "Mom... I miss you, mom! Dad, why did you leave me alone? I need you...." he cried.
Today, when Zhang Zhehan hugged him, Long Xun almost lost control of his emotions. He was angry because at that time he realized that even after what Zhang Zhehan had done to him, he still couldn"t bring himself to hate Zhehan.
At that moment, Long Xun realized how weak he was in front of Zhang Zhehan. Long Xun was disgusted with himself for not being able to hate Zhang Zhehan. How could he be so weak?
In that one hug, Long Xun forgot about his revenge. Long Xun was ashamed of him. Thinking about that day he lost everything, he cried. He still couldn"t remove that vivid picture from his memories. That memory of his father beings beaten, thrown out like some dirt, his father being burned alive.... he still couldn"t overcome these memories.
These memories were his nightmare. They haunted him and that"s why he needed to take medicine every time he was emotional.
Zhehan why did you lie that my father tried to molest Zhu Qian? Why did you lie?
Zhu Qian... I considered you as my mother. You were my father"s best friend. Why did accuse my father of harming you? Why?
His tears fell as he hugged the picture tighter. He was feeling so alone and abandoned. "Dad where are you when I need you?" he sobbed.
"Dad, give me strength. Give me the strength to face our enemies. Help me to get justice for you..." he cried.
"I am not strong enough...."
"Dad, I am not strong enough..."
"Dad, where are you?"
Soon the drugs kicked in and Long Xun fell asleep on the ground while still holding the picture of his parents. Meanwhile, at Li Xiaolu"s side, Tang Jun drove the car quietly. Li Xiaolu and Zhang Zhehan were sitting in the back seat while Gao Yifeng was sitting next to Tang Jun in the pa.s.senger seat.
n.o.body talked and there as a complete silence in the car. Li Xiaolu was looking outside the window while Zhang Zhehan was lost in thoughts. This silence bugged Gao Yifeng and Tang Jun.
They glanced at each other not knowing what to do. "I still can"t believe that Long Xun is alive..." he said trying or break the silence in the car.
n.o.body replied.
"Zhehan, you were right. All of us believed that Long Xun has died in that fire but only you said that Long Xun was still alive. Now seeing him alive and alright, isn"t that great news?" Tang Jun asked.
