The Maple Lake Rehabilitation Center was a place completely cut off from the world, at least for Ke Mingxuan, it was utterly isolated. His daily routine revolved around this small villa. Eating, sleeping, reading, taking walks in the yard to get some fresh air, and waiting for the medical staff to come regularly to check his body and do shoulder rehab. After some time of rest, his right arm was nearly fully healed, and his basic daily life wasn’t much affected. His doctor said that as long as he kept…- 208.3 K • Completed
- The car made a sudden stop, pulling Bian Yiqiu back from his memories from two months ago. He furrowed his brow and glanced at the rearview mirror, meeting Zuo Cheng’s innocent face, which was as expressionless as ever. “Red light,” Zuo Cheng said. Bian Yiqiu couldn’t be bothered to respond. He turned his head to look out the window at the busy city street and finally realized they had returned to the city. Not far away, a grand building with a unique twisted design shot up into the sky.…

- Less than a hundred meters stood between them, barely a few dozen steps for Bian Yiqiu to cross. In his younger days, he could’ve sprinted the distance in under twenty seconds. Now, though, he could only sit in the car, staring through the tinted, dark-gray window at the direction of the villa. The modest two-story building was shrouded by lush greenery, with carefully maintained landscaping. At key vantage points, professional bodyguards stood guard, forming an invisible but impenetrable barrier.…

- Liang Ziyue was considered the most down-to-earth among this group of second-generation heirs. His background wasn’t as intimidating as the Ke or Chu families, and he was more straightforward and gentle. He wasn’t particularly close to Ke Mingxuan, and he only spoke a few extra words with Bian Yiqiu when they were off-roading because of his daughter. Afterward, they could be called friends at best, the kind who’d call each other to check in during the holidays. They didn’t keep in regular contact,…

- Bian Yiqiu felt like his body was falling apart. When he was seven, a stray dog bit through his palm. Terrified of rabies, he used a piece of iron heated by fire to scrape away the swollen, raw flesh around the wound. He later realized it was pointless, but luckily, the dog had just been hungry, not infected. At twelve, he fought with a group of thugs over turf. He lunged at their leader, sinking his teeth into his throat, while steel pipes, fists, and baseball bats pounded his back relentlessly.…

- Lin Jiayan’s attempt to help Bian Yiqiu escape infuriated Qian Ying but he couldn’t bring himself to hit or scold him. Left with no better option, he dragged Lin Jiayan back to the lounge and locked him in. He instructed the guards at the door, “As long as he doesn’t harm himself or try to commit suicide, even if he tears the lounge apart, don’t open the door.” “You bastard Qian!” Lin Jiayan banged on the door, shouting at the top of his lungs, “Let me out, you son of a bitch! Qian…

- With Lin Jiayan’s persistent efforts, the thick hemp rope was finally cut. Bian Yiqiu immediately felt a sense of relief, but he still couldn’t get up. Lin Jiayan didn’t notice this. He put away his dagger and walked to the door. Peering through the small vent in the door, he lowered his voice and said, “There are two people guarding you, but there’s one more following me. I’ll go out first, take the one following me with me, and then you can go out. No problem, right?” He spoke in a…

- When Qian Ying returned to the warehouse’s temporary break room, he hadn’t gotten close yet when he heard the sound of something heavy hitting the ground, followed by Lin Jiayan’s furious shout: “Get out!” He silently sighed, thinking to himself that this young master was even harder to deal with than Bian Yiqiu. The subordinate in charge of watching Lin Jiayan opened the door with a pale face. Upon seeing him standing at the door, his eyes lit up, as if he had seen a savior. Qian Ying…

- Qian Ying was undeniably a skilled criminal. He had boldly used his flashy Mercedes S-Class to abduct Bian Yiqiu, yet left no trace behind. Ke Mingxuan went to the traffic police and pulled surveillance footage from all the roads near Celebrity Club. He quickly found traces of Bian Yiqiu. The footage showed Bian walking alone, slowly making his way down the avenue and turning into Banyan Street. His figure looked relaxed and at ease. But in the next frame, the screen abruptly went black. Ke Mingxuan…

- The movie is the latest hit Hollywood action blockbuster, scheduled for this Friday night at 8 PM. The perfect time, and the perfect couple’s seat. The cinema is located not far from Junlin Tianxia, in COCO MALL. It’s just a five-minute walk through the street behind the community. The original plan was to wait for Ke Mingxuan to finish work, then go to the restaurant upstairs in the cinema to have dinner, and after a short rest, go downstairs to catch the movie. It should have been perfect. But…
