While that person is holding Xiao Rin in front of him, everyone is alert and looking at him with vigilance. They did not know who the woman that he is holding as a hostage is, but they can tell Xin Wei knew who she is, so the four women did not make their move.

Suddenly, everyone felt coldness in the air that seems to seep into their bones. It is a biting cold that tells them that something bad is going to happen.

Then they all turned to Xin Wei who is now showing deep hostility towards the man. The strong killing intent coming from him began to suffocate everyone around him as they subconsciously held their throats.

The man could not help but be shaken as his grip of the knife in his hand loosen a bit.

Xiao Rin knew that everything is going to be dangerous if she did not make a move. She knew who this person is; she knew that if she did not do something, then this person would surely die at the hands of Xin Wei.

She made her decision and suddenly closes her eyes.

With her eyes close, she enters into the world of that person's fantasies. From there she could see what this person wanted the most.

But what she saw made her heart hurt deeply.

When she saw this person, her determination was already shaken to the core and she wanted to run away as far as she could because she still could not make herself turn her back on him.

A mother would always be a mother in front of her son. No matter how cruel her son could be, no matter what grievance her son did to her, she still could not let go of that motherly love that she felt for him.

And now in front of her is the desire of her son to be with his mother. To be cared for by her, give him the love that he wanted from her, and most of all someone to lean on whenever he is down on his luck. As of this moment she is seeing her son's desire for his mother to be with him at this time.

Upon seeing this, she could not help but began to tear up. Her heart is torn between being hurt by the two people she cared for the most and leaving them so that she would not suffer anymore.

But it seems that she is really weak towards her son's affection. She slowly caresses his hair and then carefully patted them as she gave him a loving hug. She missed him so much. She missed the day when her son would act playful towards her; she missed the day when her son would hug her, and kindly treat her like she is the best woman in the world.

She missed those days when her son would say, 'Mom, I love you!'…

Upon remembering this, she began to cry as she slowly hugs her son tightly.

Before all of this, he was the best son in the world. He was kind, polite, responsible, loving, and gentle. But then everything changes when he was involved in some group. His attitude changed, his way of speaking changes, and the way he treats her changed.

It has truly caused her great pain.

But now, everything seems to have gone back to the way they used to be as mother and child. And she really likes this attitude of her son, her loving son.

Right at this moment, the mother and child are hugging each other inside their old house.

While savoring this moment, Xiao Rin suddenly noticed that her son seems to be hugging her too tightly. It was as if he is trying to choke her.

"Son… Are you okay?" she asked gently.

But her son did not reply. The hug became tighter and tighter. Then she came out of the character in that imagination of her son and there she saw the expression of the child.

His eyes are crazed and he has that sinister smile on his face.

Then suddenly she saw her son throwing her to the bed which appears out of nowhere.

"You are a whore of a mother! You let others f*ck you… Hahaha… Now you are only going to be mine!…" her son suddenly shouted as she saw him tear her clothes apart.

The scene in front of her eyes is too morally damaging that it made her began to tear up. She could not believe what she is seeing right now. She could not believe that her loving son would do that to her, his own mother.

As she could not take the scene anymore, she decided to go out of his mind.

She then opens her eyes and saw four young women in front of her. They are showing concerned looks on their faces. Then she turns around and saw that her son is already in the corner tied up on a tree. Upon seeing him, her expression suddenly turned sad. She did not expect that her son would have that thought of her as his own mother.

This immediately caused a tear to slide down her cheeks.

When the four women saw this, they all showed confusion in their eyes.

"Miss, are you okay?" Bai Yunya asked with concern.

Xiao Rin seems to have been woken from her stupor with that question. She just looks at the four women and nodded her head.

"Where… Where is…" she wanted to ask about Xin Wei as she seems to have recalled his state when he saw her being held, hostage.

In fact, when she saw the anger in Xin Wie's eyes, her heart could feel that the young man truly treated her as his own family, someone that he wanted to protect. She was really touched by his expression of anger and resentment toward the person holding her as a hostage.

However, she could not let her real son be killed, so she decided to activate her skill.

But what she saw in her sons' mind made her far too depressed that she did not know what to do right now. All she could think of is to cry. But remember that young man who showed her true kindness the heart of Xiao Rin slowly calms down.

"Where is Xin Wei…" she asked.

"He is somewhere in the forest. We dare not follow. His state of mind is a bit chaotic that we could not even come close to him." Zhang Wanwan said with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"So you girls are young Xin Wie's companions?" Xiao Rin asked with a hint of a slight smile on her face.

But no matter how hard she tries to show her smile, they could still see the pain in her heart.

"Yes, I am Bai Yunya, this is Zhang Wanwan, and this is Yang Chin… That one over there is Ji Jiwon…" Bai Yunya introduces.

"What's your name miss?…" Bai Yunya asked with a slight smile.

"Haha… Don't call me… Miss… I'm already married, and I'm older than the four of you…" Xiao Rin said with a smile.

"What? No way… But you… you look like you're only around my age… 25…" Bai Yunya blurted.

Well, this could not be blamed on the four of them as Xiao Rin despite her age, has a babyface. She is one of those that has rare genes which made them age slower than others.

Upon hearing this, the four women showed a faint astonishment in their expressions.

While the five of them are talking and exchanging pleasantries, they were all startled when a loud sound coming from deep within the forest reverberated in the air.

The sound seems to be coming from a huge creature as it roared angrily in the air.

I was too agitated that I almost lost control when Auntie Xiao Rin was taken hostage by that person. I wanted to immediately kill that guy, but at this moment, I knew that if I could not regain my calm, I might even hurt Auntie Xiao Rin.

When she fell to the ground along with that man, my consciousness suddenly snapped. For some unknown reason, I could not control my body and I suddenly rushed towards the two figures. I wanted to go wild.

But then suddenly, I seem to have hit an invisible wall.

Then I heard someone crying on the side. That's when I knew that I seem to have made some mistake. I saw Ji Jiwon sitting on the ground holding her head as a pain look on her eyes could be seen.

I did not want to hurt any of those who helped me or my friends. Seeing Ji Jiwon in pain made me feel afraid that if I stay here, I might hurt the others in my state of mind.

So this time, I decided to run to the forest in the meantime and cool my mind.

I did not know how long I was running, but I suddenly felt something in the air. Something that smells wonderful and enticing which slowly calms my very being.

As I turn around, I now found myself inside this strange forest, and I felt confused.

But my confusion did not last when suddenly I heard an ear-piercing loud roar nearby.

From that roar alone, I already knew that his place is very dangerous.
