“My Dear, I want you to come and find me right now, immediately. If not you know what will be happened.” It was Lan You speaking voice from the other side of phone.

But, in Yao Yao’s ear, Lan You voice sounded more like a threat.

“Do as what you want.” The current her not afraid of him.

She has already lived the days without a pride, she has experienced cheating other people, she also hurt her friends, she even almost sold her soul, being tortured by the addiction caused by drugs. And now what’s more should she care? Her life has screwed and messed, rotten to inside.

After all for Yao Yao, her life is worth nothing so she doesn’t fear at anything.

The phone call is ended.

Hei Yan Long curiously walking close to her, asked: “Who is calling?”

“Not an important person. Someone used to be friend in past.” Yao Yao answered him only to get his question over, but subconsciously her eyes turned away.

“Yan Long, can you go to take the car. I’ll come to find you soon.”

“En.”

Quickly she rushed to Bing Ye direction.

“You haven’t returned? I thought you have gone.”

“I am waiting for you.” Bing Ye coldly opened his mouth.

Immediately Yao Yao showed her helpless expression: “Ye, you know that I am not going back with you.”

“The situation is not same now. You don’t have anything bounding and tight you. Ao Tian is going to marry other woman soon, then you mustn’t have reason to stay in here.”

“Ye, thing isn’t as you think.” Yao Yao pulled Bing Ye’s big hand: “I am not returning to Ya Si Lan not because I am unwilling to let go anything that I have here, but it still the same words, I don’t like my life in Ya Si Lan. Do you understand?”

“Understood. Actually I just want to ask you one more time for the very last time.” Bing Ye held her hand: “This is really going to be the last I am asking you. If you want to stay here then you just living in here.”

“Ye.” In Yao Yao’s memory, Bing Ye is extremely stubborn man, she is little bit not understood, why suddenly Bing Ye changed?

“Aish, a girl really can’t keep for long time.” Bing Ye was joking while shaking his head, and then, he lifted her and put her sat on his shoulder, he moved circle for few times.

Duo Duo

Duo Duo

An instantly, Yao Yao recalled her childhood moment with Bing Ye. She recalled when she just born not long time, he also did this too, lifted her in the air, let her sat on his shoulder.

That time, Bing Ye hasn’t turned to be so strict, that time Bing Ye was treating her alike little baby, pampering her so much. That time, in her memory, Bing Ye always took the role as her father. In the past she also thought Bing Ye as her father.

“Oh My! You are growing up, really growing up.” After he moved few times, Bing Ye was putting her back to ground: “I almost cannot carry you anymore.”

“Ye.” There are tears on her eyes. It blurred Yao Yao’s eyesight. That’s right, she has grown up, Bing Ye is also getting older. But honestly he is only thirties something mature man, moreover he still single until now.

It feels like Bing Ye has given all his life and only living for her and now she as if dumping Bing Ye without thinking for him. She really selfish and bad.

“Duo Duo, don’t cry. If you are crying then I will change my mind, bringing you back by force.”

“Ye, accompany me for while, will you?” Yao Yao grabbed Bing Ye’s hand tight.

Bing Ye helplessly smile, then he gently patting her head: “Since you are not staying in Ya Si Lan, if I am also not staying there, then our Ya Si Lan country might be taken by other countries. So that Lan Duo, I need to take my leave now.” It was a faint smile, the moment when he turned, that cold face as if no warmness as instantly, his handsome face showed his unwillingness as well his bitterness.

This moment is alike a father who married off his own daughter, in which she would forever leave him.

He hasn’t really believed Lan Duo still alive, and now he should force himself to accept the reality that he should separate from her again. This is so cruel for a lonely man like him.

Her eyes kept on seeing him, then Yao Yao closed her eyes, took a deep breathe. She clearly knew, once Bing Ye returned to Ya Si Lan country, the thing that awaiting him is an eternal loneliness.

Because Ya Si Lan country has regulation that the heiress should marry her guard protector. And now since she as the heiress is gone missing, then as guard protector, Bing Ye must obey the rule, living with loneliness.

She really not understand why Bing Ye is so stubborn to go back to Ya Si Lan.

If he decided to stay, he could marry someone, he could has his own children. If he doesn’t encounter woman that he loves, then she could take care of him until he old just alike he taken care of her when she was a little.

“Everyone, everyone has their own fate and responsible. Since first day I met Bing Ye, I have known that he is a responsible man.” She didn’t know since when suddenly Hei Yan Long has been already standing at Yao Yao back.

She wiped her tears on her eyes, with her redden eyes, she turned to see him.

“For Bing Ye, taking care of you, it has already been his responsibility. Perhaps, it is right thing for you to choose leaving him. By doing this, at least, you can make Bing Ye to go slowly adapting his days without you, living his life without you. By doing this, perhaps he can spend more time for himself, thinking about himself and his future.”

Yao Yao always believe, Hei Yan Long is someone who living wisely, he knew and understood all the people.

And now, thing that he said about she leaving Bing Ye is something right thing to do, then this must be right thing to do.

If she is carefully thinking, it was so obvious she went missing when she was four, but one year ago when she met Bing Ye, staying at Bing Ye’s General Mansion for couple days, she could see there are lots of her things being kept. The way Bing Ye looked at her, Bing Ye habits, it has changed so much compare from last time, a drastic changes.

As seen, for more than ten years she has been missing, it has affected Bing Ye so much. To the point he has lost himself.

“En. I hope all is well.” Yao Yao faintly smiled.

Hei Yan Long patted her shoulder: “Let’s us get into the car.”

“En.”

Sitting on Hei Yan Long’s car, Yao Yao kept on frowning, as if she has something inside her head. It could because Bing Ye is leaving her but more it is because she has been missing for few months. And after she returned to China, everything that she saw, today’s, it is only left for her a sadness.

She tried hard to flash back everything that she experienced before she went missing.

That time, she just got back her childhood memories for not long. Returned from Japan with Yu Ao Tian. She even gave Zeng Qing a lesson. Then she was participating government dinner party, meeting Lan You. And then the explosion happened.

She really curious, if she didn’t save by Lan You, what kind of situation would be today?

Could it be Zeng Kai Rui has killed or has she been leaving her peaceful life. Perhaps during that time she has already had her own law firm.

Hah.

There is no that many ifs. If she really not saved by Lan You, then she must be already died caused by that explosion.

Go around, at the end, actually this rotten life she has now, it is really given by Lan You.

Her eyes staring outside the car.

Without that Nano SD Card do you really think that Yu Ao Tian can fight me, even if he has gained half of evidence of mine. At the most I would charge life sentence. While this life sentence, it perhaps not long after that I still can get out. Moreover, do you think that I don’t leave way for myself?

In her ears suddenly she felt as if all the words spoke by Zeng Kai Rui repeating.

She could feel, the day of them would be come soon, she just wondered how Yu Ao Tian do all the preparation to welcome that day to come.

Again, since Zeng Kai Rui could say something like that, it could be seen, he must be so confident that Yu Ao Tian could drag him to hell.

Her little hand, slightly curled up.

“Yan Long.”

“En.”

Yao Yao quickly turned her head, immediately she saw Hei Yan Long: “Let’s us go to Western suburb of Guang De.”

“What are we going to do there?”

“I am looking for someone. Yan Long. Please drive me to there.”

Seeing the determination eyesight in Yao Yao’s eyes, he finally turned his steer wheel, changing his direction to Guang De western suburb.

This is the address that Lan You sent to Yao Yao not long ago.

Due to narrow mountain road, the car is stopped on the foot of mountain. From far away one could see there seem to be a castle in the hillside.

Hei Yan Long parked the car, he raised his head to see at that building which alike castle: “Whose address is it?”

“My friend’s. Yan Long, I am troubled you. You should leave now, I have something to talk with him.” After said, Yao Yao got down from the car.

Suddenly Hei Yan Long pulled her hand: “The friend that you mentioned, was the one who called you before?”

Yao Yao silent.

The next seconds, Hei Yan Long coldly said: “He is Lan You, Isn’t he?”

It seems, she really cannot hide anything from Hei Yan Long. Just like how she also cannot hide and lie to Yu Ao Tian. The differences between these two men, Hei Yan Long is more accommodating her.

She down her head, weakly Yao Yao nodded her head.

“Yao Yao, didn’t you say that you don’t have feeling toward him, have you forgotten what bad thing he had done to you. Why do you still come to see him?”

That’s right.

Everything that Hei Yan Long said to her, all are right. Toward Lan You, she really wanted to avoid him. But…

“Yan Long, there is something that he has, a thing that able to kill Zeng Kai Rui directly. I must get that thing from him.”

“Isn’t he Zeng Kai Rui’s man?”

“He is not.” Yao Yao looked so affirmed when she gave her answer.

In the beginning, when she was still staying in the Sky City, she did suspicious if Lan You perhaps is Zeng Kai Rui’s man but slowly she realized, Lan You is so different with Zeng Kai Rui’s other men. Normally Zeng Kai Rui’s man would obey whatever Zeng Kai Rui instruction. But in Lan You case, on contrary she could feel, Zeng Kai Rui is the one being used by Lan You.

Especially…

Without that Nano SD Card do you really think that Yu Ao Tian can fight me.

What Zeng Kai Rui said about these, it obviously, he also doesn’t have that Nano SD Card on his hand.

Therefore Yao Yao is so certain that Nano SD Card must be still on Lan You’s hand. But why Lan You didn’t give it to Zeng Kai Rui, from here, she could make an assumption, the relationship between Lan You and Zeng Kai Rui aren’t as simple as partner in crime. But…

This doesn’t mean Lan You and Zeng Kai Rui don’t have relationship too. Anyway, Lan You, this person appearance, he always comes out with a mysterious vibe. No one knows what he wanted to do and no one knows which direction he is heading.

Regardless of these, one thing that Yao Yao sure for, no matter what Lan You wanted to do, he is absolutely the one who not standing in right side. Perhaps he is a person who more dangerous and vicious that Zeng Kai Rui thousand times.

“Yan Long, you rest assured. I have a hunch, Lan You won’t give any harm to me.” Yao Yao was showing her positive eyesight. But, this kind of eyesight it only to comfort Hei Yan Long. Toward Lan You character, actually she is so clueless too.

“I understood. Then I am waiting you at here. You quickly go.”

“En. Okay.” After said, Yao Yao turned and left.

Hei Yan Long sat inside the car, while his eyes kept on staring at Yao Yao, quickly he took out his mobile phone: “Director Yu, are you busy?”

“I am having meal with Ao Yun. What’s matter?”

“Yao Yao is looking for Lan You now.”

“What?” Immediately Yu Ao Tian expression changed once he heard the news from the phone: “Address.”

“Guang De western suburb.”

“You wait for me.”

“En.” Once the phone call ended, quickly Hei Yan Long got down from car.

He did say that he would be waiting her at here but impossible for him to keep on waiting here without doing nothing. Moreover when he knew the person she going to see is Lan You.

But at the same time he also knew, if he stopped her or perhaps he asked to go with Yao Yao, she would definitely refuse him.

Yan Long, you rest assured. I have a hunch, Lan You won’t give any harm to me

Didn’t know the reason, somewhat it sounded so strange but Hei Yan Long did feel same too. He felt Lan You wouldn’t hurt Yao Yao this time. Or else impossible for him to report Yao Yao was having drugs last time.

It is only toward that man, Hei Yan Long has kind of familiar feeling toward him, the fear and scary feeling that coming from that man, the dark character that no one is able to read of him. As if no one knows what would be going to be on the next second, perhaps Lan You, himself also not really sure what kind of next step he would take.

“Yan Long.”

Less than ten minutes, Yu Ao Tian has brought his men came to the address.

“Where is she?”

Hei Yan Long looked at the castle in the hillside: “She has gone there.”

“What does Yao Yao want to do? Why suddenly she coming to see that man again?” Long Ye with his unhappy face said.

Slowly Hei Yan Long turned to his direction: “Yao Yao said, Lan You has a thing that able to corner Zeng Kai Rui into dead end, so that she came here to take that thing from Lan You.”

“Thing that can put Zeng Kai Rui into dead end?” Long Ye looked at Yu Ao Tian.

That good looking face showed his gloomy expression, His thin lips moved: “She must come to ask the Nano SD card from Lan You.” He spoke with low voice and sounded so weak.

Toward Yao Yao movement, strangely Yu Ao Tian felt there is a sour bitter feeling in his heart.

He wouldn’t ever forget, the moment when court pronounced Yao Yao’s world class license is revoked, her tears came out but he was so powerless and couldn’t help her.

Toward everything that Yao Yao had done for him, he really couldn’t describe it with one or two words.

And today, she has already had nothing, in this battle she has already burned herself into ashes and yet she still silently helping him such as searching for representative lawyer to replace her, she even came to see Lan You in order to take back the Nano SD card.

As said the first thing that Yao Yao done to move Yu Ao Tian’s heart, it was her cuteness and innocent, then after she got back her old memories which actually has made her changed quite lot, it was really something that made Yu Ao Tian fell for her.

Eventually without that Nano SD Card, Yu Ao Tian would still make a new plan to drag Zeng Kai Rui into hell.

“Let’s us go there.”

“Okay.”

An instruction from Yu Ao Tian, all the people were followed at his back, quickly they rushed to the castle in the hillside.

Knock knock knock

Standing in front of the castle that surrounded by wood, Yao Yao knocking the door but there was no one opened the door.

Then she opened that metal gate by herself.

Thing that caught herself once she has gotten inside, it was all the decorations of the castle actually really similar alike Sky City.

At the end of the corridor there is a double metal door again.

The moment when Yao Yao opened the door, she could feel herself as if gotten back to the Sky City.

Here, it is the hall of the castle.

At the end of the hall there is a Royal Armchair that usually used by the British.

In her mind, this place really looked so similar with Sky City, a place that she always wants to leave. At the same time she recalled there was once Lan You asked his ten men to force her, at the last she gave up and admitted the only man who ever slept with her only Yu Ao Tian so that everything finally stopped.

And now, the person who sat on that armchair, he is Duke K, she staring him with hesitated eyesight.

He elegantly nodding his head to Yao Yao: “Miss Luo, what brings you here?”

Heh?

Isn’t this place belonged to Lan You?

Why K is here?

Moreover he was even asking her why she came here.

“I am looking for Lan You.”

“Oh.” K just nodded his head, then he smiled faintly, slowly he stood from his armchair and then walked heading to Yao Yao: “Miss Luo, last time when we met at the Gala dinner, it was bit abruptly. Actually I always want to have good talk with you.”

Talking?

Yao Yao wouldn’t ever forget, thing that he ever said when she was a child. Then the talking that he meant, was it a reunion or seeking an opportunity to revenge on her?

She really didn’t know what kind of bad deed she had made in her past life. Coming here to meet Lan You has already taken a risk. And now, coming here to see Lan You yet she even met her ‘old nemesis’.

“Hahahaha, Duke K, what kind of talking do you expect to have with a commoner like me. Oh, are you Lan You’s friend?”

Listened to Yao Yao cheeky words, K coldly smiled: “I never thought there would be a day, the heiress of Ya Si Lan country, a person who has high position, after more than ten years, you even can down yourself this much. Time really could change your aloof character. Or have you offended too many people so that you have already changed to this chicken heart.”

Thump!

An instantly, Yao Yao could feel as if her heart seemed to jump out through her throat. It seemed, K recognized her must because he was told by Lan You or could it be K had known her since the beginning when they met, he recognized her as Lan Duo.

Hah, Today’s focus, K really knew how to pick time, appeared at this place. She afraid this isn’t as simple as coincidence.

“Since you, K has said this clearly, then I also don’t have anything to say more. But there is one thing that you have mistaken about me. I am Lan Duo, I never afraid to offend anyone because everyone whom I offended, their result, most of them are already die by this time.” Yao Yao coldly narrowed her eyes, while her mouth curved upward showing her scary provoking smile.

K raised his head, he stared at Yao Yao: “That’s right. Lan Duo is someone with delirious speech because she has the capability to do so, but I wonder, does the current Luo Yao Yao also has same capability?” He turned his head, then quickly he walked to the foils which hanging on the wall. He took those two foils: “Lan Duo, did you remember when you were still a little the first match we had?”

Remembered.

How possible she forgot about that?

It was her first time lost moreover because that match, she had doubted herself, had questioned her competency for long time. As additional K did come to see her in the late of night. To put it simple, it was the worse humiliation that Lan Duo ever had in her life.

A K who able frightened her to the point she not able to make a move.

“K, what do you mean by this? Can’t you be more straightforward with your words?”

“It nothing. I just want to re-match the battle that we ever had when we were young. I want to know whether your fencing skill improve or not?” After said, K was throwing one foil to Yao Yao.

She grabbing tight that foil, coldly she glared at K.

She has predicted, this man appearance at here, it wouldn’t be something simple. She could feel that he has intention to humiliate her again, but the problem…

Impossible for him not knowing, if her memories had gone for long time, so that impossible her fencing skill is improving. Didn’t he bully her?

But due to Yao Yao stone head character, impossible for her to admit lost before she gives a try.

Her small hand held the foil.

“Fine, since K, you are so interested to play this, then I am going to play with you.” After said, Yao Yao raised the foil in her hand and directly pointed the foil to K.

Quickly K changed the way he grabbed the foil with his left hand, on second he succeeded blocking Yao Yao attack.

“En, since when you K has turned to be a nice person, you don’t have to give in by holding the foil with left hand.” She clearly remembered, K isn’t a left-handed person. Since he is holding his foil with his left hand, isn’t he trying to give in?

K, he silent, didn’t say anything. That handsome face suddenly changed to be so eerie.

The next second, he was using his strength to grit his teeth, then moved to attack Yao Yao.

It is so obvious, K who is using his left hand, his fencing skill is far multiple times comparing to when she was a child, but the current Yao Yao has stopped practice her fencing skill for long time, but toward current K, she doesn’t even feel hard to win him over.

She blocked his attack in three or two strokes, and then changed to take the position to defend while he still attacking her. After few strokes, it is so obvious K looked better than her.

Yao Yao suddenly stopped her attack: “You still not using your right hand?”

K looked so furious glaring at her: “It is not your business Royal Highness Lan Duo, my right hand cannot hold the foil.” He was shouting, the way he shouted was alike Lion roaring, pa pa pa, he was alike crazy kept on attacking Yao Yao.

What’s going on here?

Why K right hand couldn’t hold the foil? Moreover why he looked so furious.

Yao Yao was trying to defend K’s attack, she looked curious so that her eyes looked at his right hand, as seen, there is a scar of deep cut on his right hand, very clear that kind of scar is happened because someone cut nerves of his hand. No wonder he said that his right hand couldn’t hold the foil.

For once again she looked at furious K.

She could see bloodshot on his blue eyes, she also could see there is such hate and resentment on his eyesight when seeing her.

Actually what is going on with him?

It was so obvious when she was young, K was the person who humiliating her, she hasn’t angered him, then why suddenly K angered her?

Wait…

Wait wait

Something is off here.

An instantaneously, Yao Yao seemed to be recalled on something, but once again when she saw K’s face suddenly changed to be so pale, really white pale.

When she distracted, K has already hit on her hand that holding the foil and make the foil fell from her hand. While his sharp foil end has already pointed straight at Yao Yao’s throat.

“Royal Highness Lan Duo, I remembered you did say, during the match, there is no compassion, you say, at this time if I thrust this and kill you, can this mean I am won over you?”

Listened to the way how sarcasm K speaking tone, Yao Yao white pale face showed her disbelief: “You.”

“Yao Yao.”

“Yao Yao.” At this time, suddenly Yu Ao Tian and others have arrived in the hall.

The moment when they pushed open the door, he could see K has pointed his foil on Yao Yao’s neck.

All of the people stopped their footstep.

Yu Ao Tian looked so angry, shouted: “K.”

“K? Who is K?” Hei Yan Long who standing beside was nervously looking at Yu Ao Tian.

At this time, Long Ye was whispering to his ear: “The Duke of British at the same time, he is also the Vice Prime Minister of England, K.”

An instantly, Hei Yan Long black eyes widen, his mouth opened wide, then he dumbfounded looked at K who was not far: “No, something is not right here.”

“What is not right?” Long Ye really didn’t understand what Hei Yan Long said.

“Duke K, what are you doing?” Yu Ao Tian slowly walking to come closer to them.

“Nothing, Director Yu, I just playing with Miss Luo.” K smiled then he drew his foil.

Yu Ao Tian’s eyes flashed, slowly he looked at Yao Yao: “Yao Yao, come over, we are going home.”

“No. No.” Yao Yao seemed not to listen what Yu Ao Tian did say to her, she still like before, she looked straight at K who standing in front of her with confusion eyes.

“Yao Yao.” As if Yu Ao Tian did sense something off.

Just at this time, as he saw, Yao Yao has curved her hand into a tight fist, with her shock expression, very complicated expression, she looked at Yu Ao Tian, then she looked all the people surrounded. Her finger, she suddenly pointed at K who standing beside: ” He is not K. He is not K.”

“En.” Yu Ao Tian’s face also changed, toward K, this person, he really didn’t have much information because after all K is someone who has been out of his reach.

“Yes. He is not K.” Hei Yan Long who has been murmuring alone at this time suddenly gave a same answer like Yao Yao.

K looked at all the people, then he pretended as if know nothing, shrugged: “Miss Luo, CEO Hei, since two of you said that I am not K then who am I?”

Hei Yan Long didn’t know who he is, but he is 100% knew, he is absolutely not K.

“You are.” Yao Yao’s body was bit shaking when she walking closer to his in front, raised her hand, she was pulling the blonde wig wore by the fake K: “That year, you are the person who followed K.”

An instantly, that man real hair color saw by all of them.

Yao Yao biting her lips, looking at the man who standing in front of her, someone who seems to be familiar but unfamiliar too, slowly she down her head, she murmured: “Finally I know, the reason why you were showing your anger to me, showing that hatred eyesight, finally I knew it, the reason why your right hand cannot hold foil. I am sorry.”

That year, when Duke Charles was suggesting his own guard to have fencing match with Yao Yao.

Yao Yao because wanted to vent out her anger due to the humiliation given by Duke Charles so that she didn’t courteous with this man but evenmore, she without any hesitation directly cut his hand nerves.

If not because K showed up, perhaps this man might be killed by Yao Yao.

“Sorry?” Suddenly that man with fierce face, he took off his blue contact lens, then he pulled Yao Yao collar shirt, fiercely he shouted: “As the highest security guard, a Royal Knight of British Empire, because of your viciousness that year, I don’t even have ability to hold sword anymore. You know, how much pain and harm that you have given me, Lan Duo. It is better for you to directly kill me. You are simply the most vicious person in history.”

“Free her.” At this time, Yu Ao Tian who standing at beside, coldly opened his mouth.

Quickly Yao Yao looked to his direction: “Ao Tian, It’s okay. It is a mistake that I had done in the past. I must face it.” She stared that man with her guilty eyesight: “I know, that year, everything that happened, it is really my mistake. But, other than saying I am sorry, I don’t know how to make it up for you.”

“If you really want to make up, then you kill yourself, you end your life now.” That man’s hand which grabbed on Yao Yao collar shirt was getting tighter.

“Hey, I don’t know what kind of mistake that my sister did do to you, but, you are not able to hold sword, then how can you ask her to kill herself.” Long Ye couldn’t stand with all these things.

Quickly that man with his pair of sharp eyes looked at him: “You say, I am too over, do you people know, that year, what did this girl do to me in such simple ‘friendly’ match? During that time, I was giving her face since she is the heiress of Ya Si Lan country so that I was enduring her, I gave in. But she heartlessly cut my hand’s nerves. Which make me not able to hold sword for the rest of my life.”

“Toward Royal Knight of British Empire, such high position of guard, not able to hold a sword, it is not more than a useless person. It is not any different with knight without soul. It is thousand times painful than any pain. If not because I have been waiting to see one day someone might kill her slowly, perhaps I have suicide, Lan Duo. Also, I believe in this world there would be people who are also waiting you to die, so they keep on living.”

Silent.

The next second, all the people have gone silent.

Because they did hear, the spirit and soul of British Royal Knight is their sword. Once they lost their sword then it is equal to die. Since Lan Duo injured his nerves, it is similar like forcing him to die.

Indeed…

What she did really too vicious and cruel.

Long Ye turned his awkward face to other side, while his eyes showed such helpless sight.

“You dare to say, for your entire life you never done any mistake moreover during match, there would be people who win and lose. This is something so normal. If all the people are behaving like you, then I really don’t know how many people would be my enemies.” Yu Ao Tian who has been silent suddenly opened his mouth.

Whatever he said, it is really logical.

To say, all the people at there, who can guarantee whose hand is clean. Let take Yu Ao Tian as example, no one knew how many people had died on his hand, but he never encountered someone as extreme as this man.

He wouldn’t deny, Lan Duo indeed was so cruel, but the attitude this man shown to them, didn’t he too radical and extreme.

“Yu Ao Tian, it is so easy for you to say it. Since you are so open minded, then why are you still seeking a revenge to Zeng Kai Rui.” The man hit the point.

Yu Ao Tian slowly curved upward his mouth, showing his sexy devilish smile: “If you really have this ability, you can also seek a revenge to Yao Yao.” After said, that pair of bottomless eyes flashed, in dashed he has pulled Yao Yao to his side from that man.

An instantaneously, that man opened wide his eyes, quickly he tried to take out his gun from his pocket and pointed it to Yao Yao.

No one knew if this man would take out his gun, in second, all of them showing their worry and panic expression.

Just at this time…

“Arthur, I will only allow you to call Lan Duo in here, who give you right to hurt Lan Duo? Put down your gun immediately, right now.” It was a voice that coming from the second floor of the hall.

All the head raised to see whose voice it was.

As seen, Lan You is leaning on the second floor stairs rail, while his face smiling to all the people.

“Yes. Master.” Arthur kept back his gun.

Master?

This man is called Lan You as Master, then he must be…

“My Dear, I was calling you to come here alone. Why are you taking so many people with you?”

Yao Yao slowly moved her heavy feet, the moment when she walked to the center and facing directly to the second floor, she raised her head, she looked Lan You with shock expression: “K, you are the real K.”

At this second, it felt as if time freeze. The big hall turned to be so silent as if once needle falling down, it might sound so clear. Everyone as if have founded their answer.

They are waiting quietly for the truth to be revealed.

Lan You who still standing in the second floor, the smile on his face looked deeper, he stood straight, not in hurry he said: “Finally you are recognized me.” He raised his hand to get rid his wig, then he also removed the contact lens that covered his beautiful blue eyes.

Stunned.

A dazzling blonde hair showed in front of everyone eyes, matching with his pair of captive clear sea blue eyes that alike boundless ocean, K’s stunning appearance seemed to add a bit of charm and mystery.

At the same time, there is kind of magnanimous aura coming from him, such a vibe of oppressive-overbearing appearance.

Lan You who standing in the second floor is alike a majesty king, looked so arrogant and aloof.

Yao Yao’s eyes glazing when she saw a man in front of her, a person who looked so familiar but unfamiliar too.

She should have guessed it since first time she saw Lan You. He must be K.

When she was a child, K did give her such deep impression but when she met the fake K, she didn’t feel that familiar spooky and scared feeling. On contrary, she did feel K aura on Lan You.

Moreover when she was staying in the Sky City, the old maid who taking care Lan You’s mother keep on calling him as Your Majesty. When Lan You angry he would address himself as ‘Ben Dian Xia (Royal Majesty)’, no doubt it was a symbol of his status.

“After all you are the real K.” At this time, Yu Ao Tian who still standing on his place, smiled devilishly when opened his mouth.

K titled his head: “It seems that Director Yu has known about my identity.”

That’s right.

The day when Yu Ao Tian brought Yao Yao to attend Gala Dinner held by government, he did feel suspicious with the K who also attended, perhas he is a fake K.

Because from the way Yao Yao described K, he must be a unique man, moreover when he was young, his craziness and audacity multiple times than Lan Duo.

But Yu Ao Tian could confidently say K who came to the Gala Dinner, he is someone so ordinary, indifferent, nothing really impressive at the same time, he doesn’t have that ‘majesty’ aura on him.

On the contrary, Lan You is the one who gave such unforgettable impression.

Also not long ago, he did do an investigation about the real Lan You who actually had died in England two years ago, thus his suspicious grew stronger, could it be the current Lan You is also the fake one.

Moreover the one who pretending to be Lan You perhaps is the real K.

“Hah, I really feel so curious, K, why don’t you stay in England? You come to China and even pretend to be Lan You, what is your motive? Could it be you are also interested to Minister position?”

“Of course I am not interested. The reason why I do so…” K bent down his body, supporting his chin with one hand on the second floor stairs rail, happily smiled and said: “Of course I come to fulfill my promise to Lan Duo.”

‘Waiting until you 18 years old, I will come and take your life.’

Yao Yao didn’t forget all the words that K did say to her. She smiled sarcasm: “So that you are brought me to Sky City and did all those things to me?”

The moment when she said about staying in the Sky City, quickly Yu Ao Tian turned his head and looked at Yao Yao with unbelievable expression.

She had been in Sky City.

“K, didn’t you say that you are coming to take my life then why didn’t you let me die in that explosion. Don’t you think it is faster and better?”

“My Dear, it seems you have mistaken one something.” K pretended to act as if he is helpless, while at same time, his arm crossed in front of body: “The promise that I mentioned not this one.”

Isn’t the only promise she had with him, it is when she reached 18 years old then he would come to kill her?

Then what else did she promise K? This is such ridiculous! Or perhaps she did forget something that related K in her memories. But she did only meet K twice, didn’t she?

“I don’t know what are you talking about?” Yao Yao’s face looked stern: “My purpose to come here today is to get back the Nano SD Card. Give it to me.”

“Why I should give you?”

“Since you are not giving the Nano SD Card to Zeng Kai Rui, my assumption, you are also not intending to let him to have a peaceful life. Since Ao Tian wanted to seek revenge on him, why don’t you be the good guy, helping us by giving the Nano SD Card back to us.” This is something that Yao Yao certain for 100%, Zeng Kai Rui and K are not two people in same boat. Due to K current position, nicely to say, whatever Zeng Kai Rui wanted to do, he still needs to give K face.

She guessed, Zeng Kai Rui himself also not knowing if Lan You is the real K.

“Hmm, helping you. Well, how about this, Lan Duo you go with me to England, I will hand over the Nano SD Card to Director Yu. What do you think?” K was teasing when said it.

Yao Yao frowned, Go with him? It is not easy for Yao Yao to quit drugs, freeing herself from the tortures. If she really back with him, then he must force her to use drugs again. Then what to do?

“K, my woman, why should she go with you? Moreover.” Yu Ao Tian’s eyes slowly turned to look at Yao Yao direction: “I don’t need that Nano SD Card anymore. Could it be, in your heart, I am such useless man?” His speaking tone sounded bit guilty, but his face was showing such loving and caring smile.

Because he knew, the reason Yao Yao to come here, looking for K because she wanted to get back the Nano SD Card in order to help him.

“Ao Tian, I never thought you are useless, it is only the Nano SD Card has lost in my hand. I…” She tried hard to speak, halfway, she down her head because Yao Yao felt so guilty. She always believes on Yu Ao Tian capability, It is only she really wanted to help him doing something. Even if it is only a small thing, at least she also put an effort to help him.

“Director Yu, It seems that you have forgotten, your woman is the late Minister Qi’s daughter. Should I make a phone call you ask Miss Qi to come here?” K speaking tone sounded ridiculed Yu Ao Tian.

An instantly the smile on Yu Ao Tian’s face disappeared, Yao Yao did feel bit awkward too thus she turned her face away.

Qi Xin Er, for Yu Ao Tian is something alike a big stone which suppressed inside his heart, but the thing that Lan You said before he really couldn’t refute it.

While for Yao Yao, Qi Xin Er is a pain that she wouldn’t able to cease away. Whenever her name bringing up, Yao Yao would feel there is a strange guilty feeling from inside her heart. Perhaps, she should leave this place with K, even if this man really someone so vicious and cruel.

“I.”

“Yao Yao.”

Hei Yan Long who has been silent for all this time suddenly stopped Yao Yao to continue her words. He stepped one step in front, coldly he said: “I believe Director Yu has already prepared everything that needed. Since Duke K doesn’t want to give you the Nano SD Card, then we should leave this place.”

“Aiya, Aiya Yan Long ah.” K smiled despicably: “We are such good friend, a best friend. How can you act as if we are not knowing each others? Moreover, you should help me not other people, shouldn’t you?”

Yan Long and K are friends?

Quickly Yao Yao looked at Hei Yan Long who showed his anger face right this moment.

He coldly narrowed his eyes: “We aren’t friend anymore since the day I left England. There are nothing between us.”

At the day when Yu Ao Tian held his engagement ceremony, it was the first time Hei Yan Long and Lan You met each others. That time when he saw him, he felt there was a familiar feeling, he really felt as if he must have known this man. But because the color of his hair as well his pupil, he wasn’t really certain whether he is K or not.

And today, Lan You has exposed his real identity, then Hei Yan Long must not allow Yao Yao to have any relationship with K.

Because for Hei Yan Long, K is kind of existence of death reaper who coming from hell. He doesn’t have any empathy, he doesn’t have any kindness inside him, moreover he only knows how to use and take benefit from other people, someone who hand in hand with darkeness.

“Yan Long, you are really such heartless.” K was smiling charmingly. But soon that beautiful pair of ocean blue eyes in second showed it’s murderous intention: “If early I know you are this kind of ungrateful person, I should kill you that time.”

“The pain and harm that you gave to me, it is more cruel than kill me, K. Perhaps all people in here, they don’t know about you, perhaps I am also not really understood you, but I one thing that I am so certain, sure about. All the cruel and bad things that you have done, it wouldn’t able to pay off even you died for thousand times.”

Listened to Hei Yan Long wrath, Yao Yao could feel, the hatred Hei Yan Long has for K.

If they were friend before and now are enemy, she believes there must be many things happened between these twos that no one knew about it.

“Director Yu, Yao Yao. We should leave this place now.” Hei Yan Long coldly glared at K, then he turned to leave.

K who still standing in the second floor, smile faintly, he straightened his posture then pair of his hand supported on the stairs rail: “Do you think that you can leave this place as easy as you wish?”

The moment he spoke this, whoosh whoosh, there are hundred of soldiers came inside the hall, they surrounded them.

Yao Yao suddenly felt there was a cold air penetrated into her spin, turned her head, she angrily looked at K: “You.”

“K, impossible for you not knowing the internal politic conflict in England, while in here, I am still focusing myself to fight Zeng Kai Rui. Best thing for you not to provoke and force me to join hand with your British Royal Right Wing to fight you too.” Yu Ao Tian disdainfully smiled.

It still a same word. Today, all his focus right now is to drag Zeng Kai Rui to hell, and regarding about other country matter, he doesn’t really care. But this doesn’t mean that he won’t join hand with other country’s party.”

Just what he said, K as Duke of British Royal as well Vice Prime Minister, actually this position is also coming not easy because he needs to plan everything step by step.

Just few days ago, actually K had gotten news about internal conflict that happening, he also got a message urging him to go back to England in order to solve the happening conflict. It happened that he also knew, at this time if he really makes Yu Ao Tian as his enemy, there are no any benefit either for Yu Ao Tian or him. Because at the last both of them would get same harm.

“Hah, I never thought you, Director Yu are such clear about my country news. Fine.” K waved his hand, signaling his soldiers to retreat.

“I will leave China the next day and go back to England. Lan Duo, Director Yu, if both of you are still wanting the Nano SD Card, come to find me in Ye Di City.” After said, slowly K disappeared from everyone eyes.

For the past few days, the doubts entangled in everyone’s hearts were finally cleared up by the appearance of the real K.

Yao Yao finally understood why Lan You would keep on mentioning and bringing up everything about their childhood.

Hei Yan Long finally understood the reason why Lan You looked so familiar for him.

Yu Ao Tian finally got to know the real identity of Lan You.

And then,

Their expression changed to be pale not because they knew the real identity of K, on contrary, it was because K appearance made them to recall all their bad memories in the past.

After K has retreated, Yu Ao Tian in forefront walked first to the mountain foot. Standing at the car’s door, from far away he looked at Yao Yao who just walking down from the hillside, at the same time there was a deep meaning on his eyes.

Turned around and entered a car which parked on the side of the road.

“Yan Long, I am troubling you, please wait a moment.”

“En.”

After he spoke to Hei Yan Long, Yao Yao slowly walking to Yu Ao Tian direction. She could feel, judging from how Yu Ao Tian looked at her before, it felt as if he has something wanted to tell her.

Opened the car door, Yao Yao got inside, slowly she sat down on the opposite way of Yu Ao Tian.

It is such big car, the quietness really suffocating. While all the people were quietly standing at outside the car, as if they didn’t want to disturb this pair of bitter couple spending their time together.

After awhile, Yu Ao Tian who down his head and didn’t say anything, slowly he raised his head, he looked Yao Yao who sitting right on the opposite way, took an effort, he said: “You have been staying in Sky city.”

Her clear and calm manner tried to avoid Yu Ao Tian’s eyes, while her small hand pinched her sleeves, difficultly she nodded her head.

At this time, Yu Ao Tian’s heart feel undescribable pain and hurt as if cut with a sharp knife.

Just now when K brought up about Yao Yao had stayed in Sky City before, he has already felt his heart got smashing by big stone.

He clearly knew, what this meant and also what this represented.

“Do you know when I was going to save Xin Er?”

Yao Yao really didn’t want to recall that moment which she missed out the timing, she also didn’t dare to think, if that time when Yu Ao Tian came to Sky City and founded her at there. What would be the result today?

“I knew it.” It was so hard for Yao Yao to say it out, she took her strength to breathe, suddenly she could feel her eyes blurred because of her tears.

In Yu Ao Tian’s heart, Yao Yao is someone who likes to cry, but also a girl who dislikes to cry.

Perhaps she would cry once she got a shock, crying so loud, she completely doesn’t care about herself image. Or perhaps when she is getting unfair treatment, she would hide and secretly crying. At least, she wouldn’t tell in front of everyone regarding all her hardship, struggling and bitterness.

But now, she is showing her bitter expression, there is tear on her eyes. The thing that she showed now, undoubtedly the bitterness as well pain that she experienced during that time.

“Yao Yao, you, do you hate me?”

“I did hate you.” Finally she dared to look at Yu Ao Tian’s eyes, her hand which pinched her sleeves trembling: “But, the moment when I founded the truth, I don’t hate you anymore.”

“The truth.”

“After that explosion, I have lost consciousness for more than one month, staying in Sky City. When I wake up, I kept on trying all the way to escape right the moment I saw K. But later after that, I realized no matter how I tried I couldn’t leave Sky City. Therefore, K and I did a bet. If within three months, you haven’t gotten new girlfriend, he would free and let me leave Sky City. If you got a new girlfriend, then I must stay at Sky City forever.”

Slowly she recalled her nighmares days in her memories. Gradually Yao Yao’s eyes misty: “I really afraid lost. At that time, when there was a party, I met Director Xiao who ever had business with Berson Group before. I was asking his help to inform you that I was staying in the Sky City. Moreover I did hand him the Nano SD Card too.”

“I didn’t meet Director Xiao.” At this time Yu Ao Tian was panic cut Yao Yao’s word.

She showed her bitter smile, helplessly she shook her head: “That time I didn’t know if you are not seeing Director Xiao. I thought everything has gone smooth as I had predicted. I thought you must have known that I am in Sky City. Therefore I was waiting for you to save me. Just as expected, few days later I got a news that you were invading Sky City.”

“I did see you arrived from my window, I did see you brought sister Xin Er out from there. I did see you hide and avoid from the attacks. At the same time, I did witness you brought Sister Xin Er to the helicopter and left that place.”

She wouldn’t dare and able to forget it, she wouldn’t be able to forget what kind of mood she had that time.

She was having few times of nightmares, in her dream, she was continuously run after the helicopter. Kept on playing the moment when she tried hard to reach the helicopter but the result always same. She witnessed how the helicopter flew high and leave her alone at place.

“Hah.” Yu Ao Tian pursed his lips, letting out a sarcasm smile. He frowned, hardly he said: “And then?”

“And then, everyday I was comforting myself, I was telling myself, perhaps you didn’t have enough time to save me, so that you gave up on me. But, I wouldn’t deny, I was blaming you. Until there was a day I founded the Nano SD Card which I thought it should be on your hand in K’s study room. Then I knew Director Xiao was sold me off. Because of that I could feel my mood slightly better.”

Although the matter has passed for long time, the misunderstood has solved. But Yu Ao Tian still could see there was a blame in Yao Yao’s eyes.

He could understand if Yao Yao still blaming him, he even understood the way how she felt at that time. It was about one more step, she would able to see him but he wasn’t even realizing her.

Yu Ao Tian finally understood.

The reason why a news of Qi Xin Er being kept on Sky City could be leaked. The reason why the hardest place like Sky City could be easily invaded by him and even he was so easily able to bring out Qi Xin Er, escaped from there.

It is because…

K really wanted to make Yao Yao stay. As for Qi Xin Er, she is not more that a bait for Yu Ao Tian.

“And then.” Yu Ao Tian who never really interested with anything before, at this time, strangely he really wanted to know what had happened to Yao Yao within those five months. He really wanted to know how she living.

“And then.” Yao Yao who staring at him became more and more sorrow. She frowned, quickly she down her head, slowly she said: “I got the news about you and Sister Xin Er are dating. Later, I was using drugs. Perhaps K saw I was such in hopeless state, then he also knew that there is no possibility between you and I, therefore he brought me back to China.”

Listened to her simple describe, somewhat he felt unspeakable pain.

Toward Yao Yao death, Yu Ao Tian did feel so sad, he felt in pain, but compare to her bitter, struggle and pain, he realized his sadness is nothing comparing to hers.

“I am sorry.” It really hard for him to say it out. Yu Ao Tian sourly down his head.

Yao Yao couldn’t see his expression, but she could faintly feel his emotion, this strong man right this moment was showing his gentle side.

This, perhaps has been more than enough.

At least, this has been a proof that she doesn’t love a wrong person. Even if both of them keep on missing out each others.

It seems everything that had happened, it has fated by heaven.

“You don’t have to feel sorry. Toward all the decision you have made, I will always respect it and also I will always wish the best for you. Same with me, I hope you will respect me. You shouldn’t say something like the engagement night to me again, because for me, this is the biggest respect you have given to me.”

When she is dealing with feeling and relation, Yao Yao always standing in passive side, a rational one.

If the person is yours, then he would be yours forever. If he doesn’t belong to you, even if you are using force, at the end of the time, the retribution will always find it ways to take it back.

Toward the current result, Yao Yao wouldn’t deny, there are so many regretful things, because she hasn’t really fought for it yet she has already turned to be loser. But, during Yu Ao Tian and Qi Xin Er engagement ceremony, even if she wanted, trying to fight for the last time. The result wouldn’t change, it still going to be the same result.

“Yao Yao.” Yu Ao Tian quickly raised his head, that pair of bottomless eyes showing it conflicting eyesight. After awhile, he seemed to get such determination, trying to say: “Actually Qi Xin Er and I…”

“Ao Tian.” The car door suddenly opened, Long Ye half body got inside, seeing the atmosphere was little bit awkward, he was saying: “Am I disturbing you twos?”

“No.” Yao Yao quickly shook her head.

Yu Ao Tian big hand has already curled tight fist, silent turned his head away.
