Ruan Thiuan's body was shivering, she turned her head trying to recover the trauma. She felt pain in her knees, struggling to get up. The crush has twisted her ankle. Her eyes widen as she saw a handsome young man came close to her. She had no idea who he was!
Her brow lifted with curiosity. She asked – "who are you people? What do you want from me?"
The man curled his lips. Then the man made a mocking sound at the back of his throat.
He said, "I am Jian Xuan. I am the CEO that you wanted to meet so desperately…"
She was struggling to lift herself up so she looked at the man. She could not see his eyes which was covered with sunglass. She lifted her head with disgust and said- "Your company has ditched our family and it's time that you must pay back the money that we deserve. Otherwise we will complain to the police."
Jian Xuan picked up his phone form his pocket and dialed a number then gave the phone to Ruan Thiaun and shouted-"Talk bitch! This is the police… I want to see what the fuck can you do to me!"
Ruan Thiaun received the phone to her ears and from the other end a man said, hello Mr. Xuan. Please ask how may I can help you."
Ruan Thiaun shook her head she said, "I am Ruan Thiaun, I want to file complaint."
The police officer in the other end said, "What is your complain?"
Tears kept dropping from her eyes, Ruan said hesitantly –"My father worked for Jian Xuan's company. He had an accident. But Mr. Xuan did not helped us, also he is trying to kill me. His man has killed my father and the taxi driver and now he wants to kill me. I want your help."
The police officer was really unhappy as he said in disgust, "You bitch. Who the hell are you think yourself? Just give the phone back to Mr. Xuan and ask for mercy. Otherwise we will make sure you are caught and spend rest of your life in jail."
Ruan Thiaun dropped the phone, she began to tremble in fear and sorrow. Her lips began to quiver.
"You can not do that. You are murderer."
Jian Xuan growled at her, "My men warned you to get away from me. Don't worry you will be fully paid."
The he ordered his men to take care of her. And he went back in his luxuries car.
Ruan did not understood what he meant. By this time, some men dragged Ruan Thiaun. She was hurt she could not get up. The man put the handkerchief to her face. She fainted.
The last thing she could remember that she found her in bed as she was drugged and abused by the men that kidnapped her and taken her somewhere unknown with many other captured girls.

Lee, bruised but not broken, lies in a hospital bed, surrounded by comforting yet sterile surroundings. Their face, while still bearing the marks of battle, shows a glimmer of resilience and hope, suggesting a journey toward healing and a future where their spirit can be fully restored.
Ruan came in to see how was Lee doing, as her eyes locked with Cynthia. She nodded her head signaling her to come close. Her eyes following Lee until the point she sat on the nearby chair beside his bed.
"How is Lee doing now?"- Ruan Thiaun clicked his tongue.
"Lee is physically and mentally very strong. The mutated beast has infections that was resistance to the drugs. We have made anti body to fight these the against the resistance bacteria. The formula was developed by Dr. Lily. It has been applied of Lee. He is stable now. Probably need some rest than he will be completely fine."
Ruan Thiaun asks Cynthia with some hesitant in her eyes.
"That's great news! Hope he recovers quickly."
Lee turned his head around and was calmly listening to the conversation. He frowned his brows and said, "I don't like to waste too much time. Just need to have a heavy lunch with lots of meat and fruits. That will do!"
Cynthia smiles at Lee. "Don't worry. Ruan… he is all right. Doctor has given him some time to rest. At least he needs to be here for couple of days."
Ruan Thiaun had hoped for a quicker recovery.
"Very well, as soon as Lee will recover we will get back to rescue Dr. Lily."
Cynthia rolled her eyes. She swallowed the urgency of Ruan Thiaun.
"There is no way in hell that, we will send you back there with out any help this time. We care about Dr. Lily as much as you. But we really want to save Dr. Lily but not for the cost of your life."
"Don't worry Ruan, I will be alright tomorrow, then we can head back to the alternative plan." Lee inhaled deeply, forcing calm into his veins.
"We have made an alternative plan. We will make a deadly team with some experts recruits that will team up with you. You will work as a team with full support. Just wait a couple of days."- Cynthia told with a sharp voice.
"It will be a perfect set up this time. We are not taking any chance this time. We are trying to locate them trough the hub that we have managed to access. We will have information and proper access. So, we will be ahead with our moves this time. But just need to wait couple days."
"I guess we have to wait then."
