Ting Hao saw Bai Cao running. She was crying. Ting Hao ran behind her.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, stop!

Bai Cao didn't stop, but Ting Hao kept on running and everyone also started running behind them. Everyone called out Bai Cao's name, but she ignored them all and kept on running. Then suddenly, a taxi came and stopped beside Bai Cao, Bai Cao sat in the car and the driver drove it away.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao!

Fei Yu - Is it not illegal to drive a car at this hour?

Everyone hit their hand on their forehead.

Everyone - Fei Yu.

Xiao Ying - Fei Yu, were you really in the US or were you in some kind of place where there are such strange rules?

Fei Yu gave no answer. He was embarrassed.

Ting Yi - Where did Bai Cao?

Chang An - Or we should say, why did Bai Cao go?

Yi Feng - Chang An, what do you mean?

Chang An - Is it not obvious? Ruo Bai did something.

Yi Feng - No, I am sure that Ruo Bai did nothing.

Chang An - How are you so sure?

Yi Feng - Because I know him.

Chang An - You know him. It's been many years and you... you were not with him.

Yi Feng - So what?

Chang An - So, people change, Yi Feng. People change. I am the biggest example. No one knew that Ruo Bai was alive. Who knows that he has changed or not?

Yi Feng - I know him, he will never hurt Bai Cao purposely.

Chang An - How are you so sure?

No answer from Yi Feng.

Chang An - Yi Feng, let me ask you one question... did you knew that Ruo Bai was alive?

Yi Feng - Of course not, Chang An. I did not know that Ruo Bai was alive.

Chang An - Why should we believe you? You were also in the US when Ruo Bai was there. If you were not with Ruo Bai, then where were you? What were you doing?

No answer from Yi Feng.

Chang An - Yi Feng, I am asking you a question, what were you doing in the US?

Yi Feng still did not give any answer. 

Lin Li(thinking) - I should go and tell everyone the truth.

Lin Li took a step towards Chang An, and Yi Feng noticed it.

Yi Feng - Lin Li, no.

Lin Li - Why?

Yi Feng - Not now.

Xiao Ying - Wait, wait, wait, why are you stopping Lin Li, Senior Yi Feng?

Yi Feng gave no answer. Then Xiao Ying turned her head towards Lin Li.

Xiao Ying - Lin Li, you tell me, what is going on?

Lin Li also gave no answer.

Chang An - Yi Feng, I am asking you one last time, whatever answer you will give, I will believe in it. Did you have any idea that Ruo Bai was alive all these years?

Yi Feng - No.

Chang An - Okay. I trust you, Yi Feng, but let me tell you if Ruo Bai hurt Bai Cao because of which she ran away, then... then I am not going to leave him... keep that in your mind.

Then suddenly, Ruo Bai, Chu Yuan and Ma Li came there. Seeing Ruo Bai, Chang An was very furious. He went over to Ruo Bai and grabbed his collar.

Chang An - What did you say do Bai Cao? What did you do to hurt her?

Ruo Bai - I just asked her to do something.

Then Ting Hao went near them.

Ting Hao - What did you ask her to do?

Ruo Bai - I asked her to not go to Feng Yun hall.

Ting Hao - How do you know that Bai Cao is going to Feng Yun Hall?

Ruo Bai - I just know it. My eyes were on you all for twenty-four hours, seven days.

Chang An smirked a little.

Chang An - In short... you were spying on us. Right?

Ruo Bai - You can say that.

Chang An was more furious. So, he punched Ruo Bai.

Chang An - Why were you spying on us?

Ruo Bai punched Chang An.

Ruo Bai - How dare you punch me?

Then Chang An punched Ruo Bai again.

Chang An - Like this.

Then Ruo Bai was about to punch Chang An, but Ting Hao came in between,  and he got punched by Ruo Bai.

Chang An - Ting Hao!

As Ting Hao raised his head, there was blood near his lips. Seeing that blood, Chang An was again very furious and was about to punch Ruo Bai, but Ting Hao stopped him.

Ting Hao - Chang An, no.

Ruo Bai - Why did you come in between, Ting Hao?

Chang An - How dare you punch him?

Ting Hao - Enough, guys. I am sick of you two. Why are we here? We should look for Bai Cao now, and you guys are fighting.

Ruo Bai - Where did Bai Cao go?

Yi Feng - She was running and crying. Then she sat in a taxi and went.

Ruo Bai - Why are you all so worried? She will come back. She can protect herself.

Everyone was shocked by Ruo Bai's statement.

Yi Feng - Ruo Bai, what happened to you?

Ruo Bai - What happened to me! Nothing happened to me. I fine.

Ting Hao - Ruo Bai, are you the same Ruo Bai who loved Bai Cao unconditionally, for whom... I gave up on Bai Cao once?

Ruo Bai - I am that same Ruo Bai, Ting Hao.

Yi Feng - Chang An, you were right, people do change.

On the other side, Bai Cao was still in the taxi. Then Bai Cao came to place.

Bai Cao - Stop.

Bai Cao came out of the car and gave money to the person who was driving. Then the car went away. The whole place was lightened up by only the moonlight and Bai Cao went there. She sat on the grass and looked up in the sky and started crying. She started thinking about what happened there inside the palace when she went with Ruo Bai.

Flashback

Bai Cao - What did you want to say, Senior Ruo Bai?

Ruo Bai - Bai Cao, you are not going to the US.

Bai Cao - How do you know about this?

Ruo Bai - I was spying on you.

Bai Cao - You were spying on me! Why would you do that?

Ruo Bai - Because I was not here.

Bai Cao - Why were you not here?

Ruo Bai gave no answer.

Bai Cao - Senior Brother Ruo Bai, why are you not answering?

Ruo Bai went near Bai Cao and grabs her arm tightly.

Ruo Bai - Bai Cao, I told you that you are not going to Feng Yun Hall. That is it.

Bai Cao was shocked by Ruo Bai's behaviour because he never behaved like that ever.
