"If anyone is there out? be good, untie me and we can talk this out. You need money, I have it. You need what more? As long as I can give you! It's okay. Money can buy anything. And I don't give any shit if you don't want any, but let me go. Easy say! Right?" Grinning to no one but a gremlin guard. "This buddy here won't pay heed to my say, he doesn't need money. How about one comes in here. And we negotiate?"

"Shut up old man. Shut up!!!!!" Banging the wall with a whip. While Mr He gulped hard. Thanks to his palms be tied together, clasped them not to show his fear.

"You talk a lot."

"Be obedient. We have your dog son here. All quiet and listening. Be a dog too and stay silent. Before I shave all your white hairs that grew sideways only." Bulky body built guard spoke with his rough voice.

"My son? You have my son? You hypocrite!" His thighs were whipped once. Screaming in agony. A tape was spread across his mouth, letting out small whimpers. Wet patch can already be seen from his groin trailing between his thighs.(he peed his pants.)

"That way you'll stay silent." Returning to his post.

"Yibo...

"Haoxuan, where is he?" Placing his silver watch nicely on the table. He didn't need to be way too much official. Put on his cadet trouser, black t-shirt, down went by sandals. "Wei isn't back from work yet. But if he does and tries to barge in when I'm not out, please, don't let him in. I won't guarantee how will i-

Haoxuan cut him.

"No need to worry. I know what you don't like most. And I promise you for that."

"And the kid's too. They shouldn't come and play back there. I know the noise always echos."

"Rest assured. He is in the next room.. Camden is there watching him."

"I love it more if he is the guard on watch." Leaving with his simple steps. Hands in pockets. A cape, giving it's vibe, of a teenage boy.

.

"I know. Then make sure the towels, brushes, are washed and neatly kept. Please, cleanliness is something that we should make it our priority. Casey, come here, how are you? Grandma?" Sitting facing her who stood beside him.

A small girl most likely to be Wei's age, looks unhealthy, and full of problems surrounding her.

"I'm fine. And... Grandma is doing fine. Just left the hospital yesterday." Smiling for assurance. "It's just thanks to Mr Wang that I'm here working. I don't own any certificate to clarify me here, but his kindness was enough to make me take classes and be worthy enough working here." Facing her nails.

"Where did you meet him?"

"At the street. I was tired, after a whole day of asking for help by passing house to house, and he was the one who saw my inner turmoil. That same day, I ate, and he followed me to where I live, seeing my grandma's situation, immediately he carried her to the car for the hospital but I was abundant because I had no money, but thanks to him, she is all well and back home."

"Hospital bills?" Smiling a bit. "Sit down please."

"He did pay for her whole stay in the hospital and the treatments. I had nothing to worry. And there after, he offered me job, for once I refused because I knew nothing about fashion industry, which this is more like it, but I had promised him to help in finding professionals on this. I had a lot of friends who completed studying about makeup but got no job, and that's how I ended up here. But because I got a job here, taking classes too, can help me one day to decorate someone's face. And until that day, being a cleaner will my post "

"You love the post?" Looking at her.

"I do. Because I eat, and my grandma gets healthy meals too. The bonus we got from him, is just enough to make me thank him forever and the work will do best. Not everyone is like him and you. Accepting me even when I have no knowledge about this." Smiling.

"Be my student. I'd be happy to teach you, if you want, of course!... No payment..it's free. Pay me the day you'd decorate a bride's face. Because I'll sure leave that on you." Winking at her, raising some hue of pink on her cheeks.

"I'd appreciate that. Thank you so much." Bowing over Wei.

"Please stop that. I'm twenty. Spare me the kind of respect." By the mention on his year his eyes sprang open.

"Casey, come here." Her fellow worker called her. Saying her gratefulness last time she left.

Wei, turned gloomy for a minute. Then fetched his phone and called his parents.

"Oh! Speaking of you who framed my parents to frame the engineer who built that company building, the old man came shouting outside the company, calling my parents names! You were behind it." Again taking the iron weapon burning his thighs, dragging it, forming a path that his flesh is now on everyone's eyes who's in there. His tailored trouser now has a lot of holes from fire burn, leaving his skin with different burns on his thighs.

His face shaped with sweat, screaming down the throat, while his head thrashed right to left wishing the tape can be stretched away from his mouth.

"That wasn't enough, that you tried to send your dog son, to come and threaten me with your words, did you think I'd buy them? You are fuckin wrong!" Tilting his head over the torture table with tools also. Choosing what to go with it. "Because I was damn tired which it was thanks to your stupid son's mouth, got to know that something wasn't right. But I regret now." Slapping him with a chain fifth times across his stomach that blood filtered itself on his grey shirt. "I regret that my parents aren't here to see that I'd be torturing the crazy man who also framed them for embezzlement and fraud. Cursed enough they are gone because of you. Damnit!!"

Taking the scissors, stabbing his thighs, twice, thrice, going to his hands, stabbed them as if nailing a nail on the board. Stabbing him hard on his chest, pulling away the tape, Mr He screamed followed by rapid pants but yibo ignored the noise and started throwing punches on his face, uncountable but strong ones to throw out two pieces of tooth from his mouth, string of blood drooling sideways, while yibo's palm covered with blood.

"Your son is in there because of you. He got the same torture because of hiding you. And because he knew nothing I won't let him suffer, I'll give him a proper farewell. I'll bury him alive, with you watching. Who knows he might be a threat later wards?"

"Yibo, let me see him." Came in Haikuan, he was also out of office wear today but casual just like his brother. Taking an iron that's full of hot charcoal in it, closed the lead and punched it on his face. "Listen old hag. That night, crystal's sister was among the idiots who did your dirty work to burn our house, to kill us. And after you killed them. But I know it was a long time process. Saw the footage. You tortured them like animals, and soon the rest, you threw their bodies by the sea. That's intelligent of you. But you know what! Your pain will be fast and very painful, we don't have time to waste on a disgusting tick you. Your pain is going to be memorable to your soul. And your son, will be buried alive. I should agree on my brother to that." Taking the iron away, his half face is out of skin that remained on the iron and flowing blood. His neck resting sideways as his eyes are open just a little.

Seeing the two cunning and angry boys, facing him with pure anger and dissatisfaction on their frames. How they wish to torture him more. But that's more like wastage of time. Their parents up there wish to see them dead as soon as possible. Closing his eyes, yibo breathes a rough sigh of desperation.

"You have grown up..... You... Are grown up.... Shits.... *String blood drooling from his mouth to his burns.* "Just like how shit your parents were.... Even when I die now, I fuckin don care...." Burping. "This pain is nothing to me. But you'll pay for this...." Suddenly laughing.

His voice high, void of nothing but mockery. Sadistic bitch, he still has power on him.

"I just need to shut up you. "Is it?" Taking a hammer bonks his head thrice times which Haikuan turned away in horror while yibo didn't flinch even when blood drops ended on his face. He still remained bastard. Feeling his is now silent more like half dead, yibo threw the hammer away. "Is the warehouse already?"

"Yes. Everything is on place."

"No police should know about this. Did you already spoke to Kris Wu?" Asks he.

"Yes. He was hesitant in between but agreed lastly." Camden the guard answered him.

"Good. We are going to leave now." Leaving to be met with Haikuan's friggin body leaning outside the door. Almost like bent. Breathing fast. "Brother... Brother, you okay. I'm sorry you had to see things like that." Standing as far as he could from his brother. He is no different from the beaten ones. Full of blood but no wounds.

"Yibo, I'm fine. I just don't like the stench of blood." Raising on his feet. "You are very brave yibo. I envy you." Taking a step towards him. While he takes two back with a stagger.

"You are the brave one. You being the savior of my life, enduring that tragedy perfectly in your head. Growing up with it. You are the brave one. I'm just cruel but nothing inside me clarifies I'm brave. I'm just a weakling who got bullied always. I'm just a weakling who can't even play a good role to the one he loves. I'm sure father would have scold me for being this pathetic. Listen brother, you aren't going with me. Just help me take care of Wei and the kids. I'll leave just now, and end these burdens once and for all. You gave me life, and I'll give you, us, and Wei the peace we need. I don't wish to hear anything from you. Now." Bowing at his brother yibo left the house.

..........

The warehouse that's just in the middle of the woods. Inside are three old souls. Half death souls. Wrecked wounded souls. Everyone on their chair. Tired with ropes by their arms and legs. Cold water is splashed on everyone making crystal cough off from choke, Peng gasping for air. Except the old hag who couldn't even hear his own voice.

"Being the bitches in this life, next life people are more cruel than me, my brother or anyone you made their life hell in this world. I assure you one thing, that, you aren't going to forget my face ever. My brother's. my parents. nor.... Wei's parents whom you murdered years before." Closing his eyes. Clenching fists. "I don't think I want to see your faces now." Taking a gallon full of kerosene, poured on them, on their bodies from head, every inch, around them. And walked as he poured all the way. Taking a lighter from Camden. Opens it. Then lights it on. "You guys are going to pay for your sins-

"But I never knew about my father's deeds? Don't kill me yibo, I'll leave your sight forever... You! You won't get to see me. Please...." Peng who had a lil strength in him pleaded.

"Just be thankful I didn't bury you alive. You'll get to watch your father burning alive while you burn too. I don't want to talk more. You've wasted my time and destroyed my years, our years of life. You started it and I'm ending it." Throwing the lighter on the ground.

Fire spread rapidly, a bone crashing scream escaped peng's mouth when he saw his father's full body burning, then after, crystal's, her cries echoed the room, making yibo close his eyes, shaking rapidly. He should overcome his trauma if he wants to be the best in everything. Falling on his knees, clutched his chest, facing the huge fire Infront of him, with two ear killing screams.

"Boss-

"Let.... Let me be." Standing up, still in shake, faced the fire Infront of him like a display, his stomach chun by the smell of burning body, taking one step he vomited, hardly when a soft palm soothed his back.

"You are fine now."

"Haoxuan-

"It's over now. You destroyed the ones who killed your life. The one's who destroyed your brother's, parents, and... Wei's... Parents." Circling his arms around his shoulder to hold him in one place. "Your braveness, is always there yibo. And this is how you proved it to me."

"I'm just a weakling-

"Or else you wouldn't stand here and watch this dreadful sight." Hugging him. "Uncle and aunt must be proud of you."

And that's how yibo uncovered his shield over his lifetime brother, who was there for him, whom he hide his pain and showed him a little pain. Cried and cried a lot saying everything he had kept in his heart. The fear, sorrow, hurt and pain he felt all this time. Haoxuan heard it all and was very happy for yibo.

Thank you.😼😏😏

What do you think made Wei feel frightened like that? Just after speaking with the girl called Casey?

And about Wei's parents, who wishes to know about them?

We just got to know that Wei's parents were murdered with the He's heir, then, who were they? What connection did they have?

It just feels good to write this story when I feel it's end will be pretty soon.

Thanks again for being good supporters till here. Good day.🙂🙂🙂
