When Sera woke up from her extreme fatigue, the dark side of the day had come. People's howling, shouting, talking and the car's loud honking of engines was clearly heard in her ears.
What time is it?
Where was she?
This place...
Right, she remembered that when she escape from the mansion, the long secret tunnel in their base led her to the alley canal of the city. It was a good thing that it didn't rain, and the foul stench of the animal's dung didn't really smell. Her face was filled with dark dusts and the whole body was enveloped with a kind of dirty liquid that she had acquired from crawling in the dark tunnel.
When she came into, Sera - filled with disgusting smell and fatigue had fainted on the ground. Without the security, her fluffy bed, the soft aroma of orchids in her room and the smooth smelling delicacies being baked in their kitchen; instead, her full of anguish self immediately went into slumber.
The back alley of the buildings. There was a deep canary on the side, which up until now is still dry. The mice's little sounds rang into her ears as it happily run around the dirty ground. There was a flickering light coming from a broken street lamp that even made the surrounding eerie and spooky.
When Sera woke up, she felt hungry. But she could only feel her empty stomach and swallow a few mouthfuls of her saliva. She didn't have any money at all. No belongings that she can pawn into, no friends that she can turn on.
This time Sera was alone...
Alone with a bear bunny in her arms; wrapped in dirty rags and foul smell just like herself.
Next second, Sera's eyes lit up. She looked up desperately at the toy in her hands. With a little ray of hope in her tone, she desperately utter a few words,
"Ai, tell me who is the influential person in this place?"
The Ai program that she was talking lit in recognition of her tone and a mechanical voice was heard on it,
" Xiang Lou Bai. Male. The heir of the conglomerate in the F Country. Has a tremendous social standing in society and was rumored to have been a direct descendant of the emperor in the Tang Dynasty.
Appearance: Excessively handsome.
Temperament :... a little of eccentric on the record. "
Ai answered coherently, without pauses as it read what had its data gathered.
Sera raised her eyebrows, Eccentric? How can that be?
"Does he have a wife?"
"Answering Master, at the moment, there are lines of women lining as his marriage prospects."
"So there isn't."
Is this good news to Sera?
"Occupation?" Sera ask lastly.
"Currently employed as the head of an investigative crime unit in a private detective agency."
"How come, he isn't in the business field? He's the conglomerate heir, isn't he?"
"Xiang Lou Bai is a bit eccentric in his decisions. His family couldn't go against his plans and path in life."
"But so, why a detective agency? He's going low key isn't he?"
"Answering Master, Xiang Lou Bai wanted to butcher criminal and tend to have an excessive violent behavior towards them. One time, after an incident of catching a serial murder, when the culprit was caught, Xiang Lou Bai secretly order an electric chair with a 1000 volt and torture the culprit for an entire night."
"Isn't that a death penalty?"
"It is. But Xiang Lou Bai always leave his victims alive...or at least barely alive..."
Holy Cow... will she be alright to find that man...?
Sera thought for a moment. If she back down now, there would be nothing that she could do against Song Ming. Even if she sacrificed herself, if it's for taking her own claims, she will offer herself on him.
An idea appeared in Sera's mind. Although it was her only resort at this moment. It was a good thing that the Ai program is in her hands or else she will really be doomed right now.
"Ai, prepare me a certain document and later I will ask you about it."
Sera listed the papers she needed from it and handed it to Ai. She knew how this Ai works, so she let it do its job.
Sera leaned on the wall and panted heavily. Her wounds were already dry, and no blood came out of it, but the pain it had even become more painful than before.
"Ai, where is he right now?" Sera, with chapped lips and pale face, slowly stood up.
The bunny bear blinked three times and replied, "Ongoing mission. Catching a runaway detainee from their cell that is about to transfer to the local police."
"Alright, lead me to where that criminal is."
Ai didn't answer her but rather show a video footage of a person in black hood and cap and was staggering in his walk. Sera focused on the scene. Seemingly thought that the area is a little familiar, her lips hooked into a smile.
It seemed that the heaven is going according to her plans.
