Dear Young Master, Spare Me Please?

han yun xiang slightly inclined his head but still didn't open his eyes. he was trying to identify other sounds except from that familiar voice.

yes, he was called h. special members of black.com normally called using only a single letter.

he didn't know what kind of system the organization followed under the command of the new leader but during his time, only five of them could use this kind of title.

the other three already died during one of their 'missions' and the last one was severely injured causing to be paralyzed from his waist down.

he's the last one among his group who's still very much alive and 'healthy'. maybe it's also one of the reasons why he wasn't treated the way normal returnee would be treated.

he believed, he's special. especially for the current leader.

going back to his situation, he knew where he's actually located but he wanted to know where the leader was currently in.

he could heighten his sense of hearing if he's not using his sense of sight.

unfortunately, he couldn't hear anything peculiar aside from the usual sound which indicated that the person was probably in a secluded room.

as for which room, he didn't know. he was thinking that the leader would be in some place not near to where he was currently in.

he sighed before he calmly said.

"my wife." he knew that they didn't plan to kill him. wasn't he still alive?

even though he's basically covered with wounds and dried blood could be seen on his entire body, he knew better that anyone that these wounds were only gruesome to look at but not really life threatening.

in short, his torture was somewhat only for a 'show'. as for whose the audience, he also didn't have an idea.

"oh, you have a wife?" the leader mockingly asked. h's voice wasn't loud enough but reading from his lips, the leader understood what he said. it was the same set of words he kept on saying the moment they captured him.

but the man didn't answer in return. he calmly opened his eyes and looked directly at that tiny dot on the wall. that small camera was his idea in the past.

when he joined black.com he didn't mention anything about his personal details. it wasn't important as long as one could pass the series of 'tests'.

only few of the higher ups before knew his real identity and his life before joining.

he wasn't actually planning to be captured. but since the leader changed so was the system and processes.

he didn't expect that his 'secret' route was already closed thus he made a detour and a minor mistake that ended him up in this room.

his train of thought was disrupted when he heard the voice again.

"but she's already dead. what are you going to do now?"

the man didn't even flinch upon hearing what the leader said.

'dead? heh!' he said inwardly.

his lips slowly curved into a knowing smile which the leader hated.

the leader could deceive everyone, except him.

the flight was not more than 4 hours but han meixiu was a bit groggy by the time the plane landed in q city international airport. she wasn't able to sleep in the plane during the flight. she was helping liu zijian filter some information her brother long sent them.

from the airport, it would take approximately an hour to the liu family's residence. although madam liu wanted to pick them up, the young couple decided not to bother their mom thus she instead prepared for the arrival of the two.

"welcome!!!" madam liu greeted the couple as she tightly hugged han meixiu.

it's actually the latter's first time to visit the liu residence in q city. like the usual main houses of influential family, the liu residence was majestic in its own sense. it wasn't imposing like the han's or vibrant like the zhang's.

since they arrived pretty late at night as they took the last flight of the day to avoid the congested road, they had only light meal together with the older liu couple before they were escorted to the their room.

liu zilong wasn't around as he was still working out on their next target investment somewhere.

after breakfast the following day, madam liu gave han meixiu her plan for the entire month.

"what do you think?" the older woman asked.

"i'll ask zijian if he's not going to need my help for…"

"it's fine. all you have to do is agree. he said as long as you like it, he's not going to say 'no.'" madam liu immediately answered. her son actually enumerated his conditions for taking his wife somewhere but she didn't plan telling the younger woman about it. it was just too troublesome. besides, they would not go somewhere far.

they would basically roam around the city only. her husband also warned her not to be reckless and go to the country area when she showed her initial plan.

"okay." han meixiu simply answered. she could see the excitement on her mommy yi's eyes thus she didn't comment anymore.

with that han meixiu's days in q city became extremely busy. she was dragged here and there by madam liu. they did what a normal mother and daughter would do.

having finally someone who could accompany here in the places reserved only for women, madam liu was clearly ecstatic.

before, the older woman used to hang out with other wives from influential family. but since most of the topics in their conversation were either gossips or bragging about something, she slowly drifted away from the group.

han meixiu would be lying if she said she didn't enjoy their activities. of course she did. it was just exhausting. thus on the fifth day, she asked for a 'break'.

"mommy yi, can we just stay at home tomorrow?" she said when they finally arrived at home. their last stop for the day was the salon where they had their nails taken care of luxuriously.

madam liu looked at her daughter in law. she pouted her lips slightly before she nodded. "okay, let's stay here tomorrow. but...the day after we should cover up what we skipped." she added.

han meixiu let out a soft laugh. "alright. we will."
