Same day but a few hours ago,
Wang Lufan woke up early to check on Su Yeon's location. It was showing the same as yesterday, her home. He sighed in relief. He can bet that she will not wake up early since it's the weekend. She is really a lazy kitten.
He woke up and continued doing some exercise. After taking a bath, he started doing his work. He wore black clothes inside but also took an overcoat with him. Around 9 am, he left his apartment and went to that location.
When he reached the closed factory, he wore that overcoat and a black mask. In the pocket of that overcoat, he kept a scalpel for the emergency. He remained inside the car for more time as it was showing that Su Yeon has not left her house.
He has parked his car a few meters behind the factory because when he came last night to check the surrounding, he found out that there was a camera. Though it was off, the kidnappers might come later and turn on the camera by hacking it.
Fortunately, there was another part of that factory just behind that camera. He decided to hide there when she left her home. When he saw that she left her home, he first had to check if she really coming in this direction. He prayed that she will not come here, but to his dismay, she already took this route.
Fear started to build in his heart. He only wished that nothing should happen to her. When he was about to open the door, he saw few movements near the topmost floor of the factory. Darn it! They have already come.
He came out of the car. They didn't notice it since he was genuinely entering the building beside the factory. He went to the backside and climbed efficiently to the part of the factory which was behind the camera. No one noticed his movements.
He then saw Su Yeon was coming to this site and looked at the factory side. Their leader was standing on the topmost floor, probably waiting for him.
Wang Lufan smirked, "So they are indeed waiting for me. You people better not touch even a single strand of her hair, else I have to show my true self."
Whatever he was predicting started to happen. Someone from their gang started following her. Lufan waited to see exactly what will they do. When that guard was few meters away from her, he kept the scalpel between his fingers, removed his overcoat and wore a cap to hide his face from that camera. When he was about to take a step, suddenly, a tall black figure came out of nowhere and captured that guard.
Wang Lufan was shocked, "What the hell?" He saw that Su Yeon felt something and stopped her tracks, but the tall man was one step ahead of her. He probably guessed that she must have noticed his movements and took that guard with him inside the factory the moment she turned around.
Involuntarily, Wang Lufan sighed and praised the quick-wittedness of that tall man. He was once again shocked by the techniques of that tall man. Just in less than five moves, he knocked down that guard on the spot.
Wang Lufan carefully watched the whole fight. The way that tall man knocked down another two guards and his intense fight with their leader. When Lufan saw the face of the leader, he got confused, "Huh? Isn't he Python? Does that mean he is still alive? Now he is back, he will definitely take revenge. But why he is after me?"
He saw that the guards were taken by the tall man's subordinates but Python couldn't do anything. As far as he remembers, Python was the best fighter in the underworld, of course not better than someone he knows. This tall man was way better than Python, probably at the same level as his… that person.
At the end, Python chickened out from that fight but couldn't chase after his opponents. Because of Python's kick, that tall man kneeled on the ground for few moments. "Is he a friend or foe?" he thought.
When he noticed that Python went to chase his men, he quickly went to that tall. Lufan caught the tall man from behind and went inside the factory so they would not get captured by the camera. Wang Lufan held his face down and pushed that tall man on the wall and kept his scalpel on his throat, "Who are you?"
That tall man widened his eyes when he saw Wang Lufan. He involuntarily flipped Lufan's hands in such direction that he can cut that mask with the scalpel in Lufan's hands.
Wang Lufan was completely caught off guard. His face was revealed to that tall man!
Due to anger, he showed no mercy and blocked his hands and once again put his scalpel on his throat, but now his scalpel was right on the skin. One single move and his throat will be sliced.
Still, the tall man once again managed to escape from his clutches. He knew that Lufan will tear down his mask and he didn't want to show his face this soon!
The tall man moved a bit far from Lufan but stood still looking at him. Wang Lufan squinted his eyes, "Who are you? Why did you save her? What do you want from her?.."
"Sorry youn…" the tall man interrupted him but stopped suddenly as he remembered his mistake. Wang Lufan got confused, "Sorry? For what?"
The tall man also got confused. Why did he just apologize to him? Once again, he felt a sharp pain in his head. Tears started welling up in his eyes.
Wang Lufan felt weird. Why did he start crying? What happened to him? Is he experiencing a stroke? When he took a step forward, that man took two steps backward and pleaded, "Please don't follow me… I mean no harm to Miss." Taking advantage of Lufan's shocked state, he quickly ran from that place.
Wang Lufan came out of his daze and followed him, but there was no single trace of him. Remembering something, he sneaked out of that factory, went to his hiding place and checked his laptop. He sighed in relief as it was showing that Su Yeon is in the library.
Just then his phone rang, "Dr. Wang, it's an emergency," it was a call from the resident doctor. He replied, "I will reach there shortly." He went inside the car and made few phone calls to his subordinates. He can't let this fact aside that someone else was also protecting her.
...
In this whole scene, everyone almost forgot the presence of one person who was standing not far away but witnessed the whole scene.
A short-haired man came to this premises at his relatives' place. He left their house early due to some work. He was walking on the road which was at the backside of the factory while talking to someone on a call.
"… I think he must have mistaken you for someone else. Even if it was late, at least he realized that you are not someone who will snatch away his little dumpling from him… Huh? I... I left because I have some work to do, bye then," after saying this he hung up the call.
Suddenly, he saw some movements on the topmost floor of the factory. That light attitude on his face changed into a serious one. He squinted his eyes and sneaked inside to check. He saw a gang was keeping an eye on the road as if expecting someone.
Also, there was another person who was hiding in the factory office which was just below the security camera. He smirked and said, "Well… this seems interesting," and called someone, "Find out the people who are hiding in the factory near my location right now."
He saw the whole scene. 'Did everything happen just for one girl? And it seems like that girl has no idea what had happened behind her back! That tall man was just extraordinary!' He wanted that tall man in his group.
When he was about to approach him, that person hiding in the office decided to show up and pushed that tall man inside the factory. "Ohh… smart move!" he thought and praised that person's logic.
The short-haired man knew the structure of this factory very thoroughly so he also sneaked inside the factory anticipating another interesting scene. When he saw that person's face, he exclaimed, "Ohh? I have seen this face somewhere…but I don't remember."
At the very next moment, he heard their conversation and froze.
Suddenly, a scene appeared in front of his eyes, the same people but different surroundings… like a different era!
.
It was at a place at the corner of a market. The same two people were in front of him, just that their clothes were different and their young physique was indicating that they must be teenagers. The taller one was shocked and the other one has kept a dagger on his throat and said,
"Who are you? Why did you save her? What do you want from her?"
The taller teenager replied in his young and shaken voice,
"I… I mean no harm to Miss."
Just then, the short-haired man heard his friend's voice from the left side, "Ahh… We lost him. That slave boy has already been loyal to her. He could have been our best guard." The short-haired man looked at his left side and in the blink of an eye, that scene got vanished.
.
When he looked again at the two of them, he saw that the tall man was completely shocked and said, "Please don't follow me… I mean no harm to Miss."
Both of them has already left but the short-haired man was still standing there in a daze. He came out of the factory and went inside his car. He slumped at the driver's seat and closed his eyes.
The scene which came in front of his eyes earlier was a dream he saw a few days ago but couldn't remember the faces. When the exact scene happened today, he clearly remembered that dream and faces.
Same people, but two different eras. The only difference was the two people were teenagers in his dream. Also, he heard his friend's voice, though that voice was of a young boy, it was definitely of that handsome demon!
It has been few months since he was having some strange dreams. The last time when they were eavesdropping on the conversation at Sky Lounge, he somehow believed in whatever he heard.
"Ahhhh… what's happening with me!" he shouted annoyingly. "Wait!..." he mumbled and realized something. That tall man said that he meant no harm to Miss… Miss???
That person from the Sky Lounge, Gon… has also wanted to protect his Miss! So does that mean the tall man was that Gon? And that little girl was his Miss? Of course, she must be! Now he got more curious about this matter.
While driving he got a call from his colleague. He put on the Bluetooth and received the call, "What happened... Oh yes, I will be joining the headquarters at Imperial City... Yes, I have once visited... From tomorrow... Bye."
He hung up the call and sighed, "Fortunately I will be working in the Imperial City. I have many things to do now.
