It was a cold night. Frigid winds were blowing smoothly when two men peaked into the great Lu mansion like wraiths, impalpable from the guards.
Lu Qiao Yan came out of the bathroom, wearing his bath robes. Today, he purposely lowered his guard because he was tipped by his spies that 'The Wan's' would send some weaklings to threaten him.
After all, it had been a long since Lu Qiao Yan returned and his enemies hadn't sent any gifts to him.
The two men covered in black costumes with guns in their hands went straight to Lu Qiao Yan's room. They saw him sleeping on the bed, covered with a quilt. They slowly reached close and removed the quilt only to see pillows and cushions.
Instantly someone from behind fired bullets at them on the spot and their bodies lye there lifelessly.
On the other hand, Yang Yifeng called Rong Zhi as he was worried about Lu Qiao Yan.
''Rong Zhi, did you call Lu Qiao Yan?'' Yang Yifeng asked him.
''Yes master Yifeng but master Lu is not picking up the call''. Rong Zhi also seemed nervous.
''Rong Zhi, are you hiding anything more from me?'' Yang Yifeng questioned him.
''Master Lu Qiao Yan ordered me to keep an eye on master Lu Xiao Xan and master Hui Jian Yu''. Rong Zhi's whole body was shivering.
''So?'' Yang Yifeng asked.
''Master Hui Jian Yu reached back home safe but I have lost contact with master Lu Xiao Xan''.
''This kid is such a pain in the ass''. Yang Yifeng stomped his foot on the floor angrily. ''Try calling Lu Qiao Yan and I will head out to find that troublesome boy''.
Rong Zhi called Lu Qiao Yan a couple of times again but still, there was no response so he left for the Lu mansion.
When Rong Zhi reached the Lu mansion, he saw the head guard of the mansion and some guards along with the workers outside Lu Qiao Yan's room.
Rong Zhi quickly ran upstairs.
''What's going on here?'' He asked. His sight fell on the white floor covered with crimson blood. The guards had already removed the dead bodies from there.
''Where is master Lu Qiao Yan?'' He questioned.
The head guard in his forties, Gu Xue, sighed as he said, ''Young master Lu Qiao Yan was already aware of this assassination so he prepared himself earlier. The two assassins were killed on the spot''.
''Where is he now?'' Rong Zhi felt his mind exploding. How would he explain to the Elder master Lu about this?
''Master left the mansion saying he had to do something''. Gu Xue informed Rong Zhi.
''And dead bodies?'' Rong Zhi raised another question.
''They are packed with red flower bouquets and sent back''. Gu Xue replied.
Rong Zhi came downstairs. ''These two young masters will get me killed someday''. He gritted his teeth as he took out his phone. Just then he received a text.
''You must have reached the 'Lu mansion' in search of me. Now go to my room and take out the file in brown color and burn it before I come back. And remember, you are not allowed to openit''.
Rong Zhi took off his glasses, he was on the verge of screaming. He had been calling Lu Qiao Yan and he replied to him just to give another order and that too to burn a file.
He went back upstairs. Opening, Lu Qiao Yan's closet, he found a brown file and took it out. He then went out and burned it.
Yang Yifeng started searching for Lu Xiao Xan. Lu Xiao Xan was a very sneaky and quick-witted boy. But today his cell phone's last location was The Phantom.
''He must be clubbing somewhere''. Yang Yifeng thought as he sent his men to search for Lu Xiao Xan at The Phantom.
''Before doing anything, Wan Tian keep one thing in your mind your reckless decisions would have a great effect on Hui Jian Yu's life let alone others''. Lu Xiao Xan's words echoed in Wan Tian's mind.
Wan Tian was sitting inside his car which was parked outside at a remote place. He checked the time and then looked out of the window.
''Would my decisions affect him as well? Would his life turn white and black as well? But that's what he wants. He wants to get rid of him and I would just be killing two birds with one stone, then why not?''
A world where justice and truth were turned upside down. He had to flip things around to see them properly. Wan Tian believed these words and adhered to them.
Whether it was grief, loneliness, pain, or whatever it was, all humans were subject to an equal amount of time where they had to endure it. And those who do it were rewarded for it later. Everyone thought only the time they had to endure it was heavy and the reward was too light.
The wounds you thought can not heal, leave quite a deeper scar sometimes deep inside we only want those regrets to end so the warm sun can shine once more on our lives of perpetual winter.
''Master Wan Tian, the boy is making great deal of fuss''. One of the guards on duty came and disturbed Wan Tian.
''Tie his mouth firmly''. Wan Tian said.
''Master we did tie his mouth but it was of no use''. The guard told him.
''Give him a sleeping injection and don't go hard on him, he is just a bait to lure the enemies''. Wan Tian ordered.
His phone rang. He checked the caller ID. Wan Tian's brows twitched. Why was Hui Jian Yu calling him at this time of night? He picked up the call.
''Darius, where are you?'' Hui Jian Yu asked.
''Why? What happened?'' Wan Tian spoke in his usual normal tone.
''I think I made a very big mistake of exposing myself''. Hui Jian Yu seemed anxious.
