"Let's go!" he smiled and started to drive his car back, Zhi Xiang could only nod his head, Dae Hoi glanced at Zhi Xiang then he smiled secretly.
"He's a very cute mafia," muttered Dae Hoi to himself, smiling.
"Hey! Why are we here?" asked Zhi Xiang curiously, they headed to the big river where Zhi Xiang's parents ashes were sprinkled.
"I guess you miss your family, I miss Aunt too" Dae Hoi replied while looking at the river, then Zhi Xiang ran towards the river bank and Dae Hoi followed behind him.
Zhi Xiang remembers an incident when he was 7 years old, he and Dae Hoi got into the trunk of a car that kidnapped Zhi Xiang's parents. Dun Ming's men took him to a hill, at the edge of a cliff near the river. They dragged Zhi Xiang's father and mother closer to the cliff, Zhi Xiang and Dae Hoi got out of the car secretly to see what they were going to do. Old man Zhi Xiang's eyes were covered by a black cloth. Dun Ming came close to Zhi Xiang's parents.
"I won, the leader believes in me, everything you have is now mine, finally I can destroy you both hahaha.. don't worry, I'll keep the rank you gave me. Hm.. to keep this position safe I have to get rid of the owner first the first one. Ow! Which weapon shall we use? Ah.. yes, just your weapon, it won't hurt hahaha.
"Boom!"
The sound of gunshots always crossed Zhi Xiang's mind, he saw his parents being killed before his eyes. Zhi Xiang was screaming between fear and pain of losing the person he loved in front of his eyes and he couldn't do anything. Zhi Xiang fell down and cried he screamed hysterically. The current incident is exactly the same as what happened to his parents, they were both betrayed by the same person. Dae Hoi is shocked to see Zhi Xiang who looks so depressed and he hugs him so Zhi Xiang can calm down.
"Father, Mother I missed you, I will repay you," Zhi Xiang said as he sobbe.
"Dae Hoi, if I die before you, please find me with my parents here. Okay?" Zhi Xiang's request made his heart ache.
"You have to take care of my child please promise me" those words always appeared in Dae Hoi's mind, that was the last message from Zhi Xiang's father to Dae Hoi, he glanced at Zhi Xiang.
"I will take care of you forever," Dae Hoi said sincerely.
The atmosphere became very quiet, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of running water accompanying them. They make a bonfire by the river, Dae Hoi tries to catch some fish for dinner but his efforts are in vain. Then Zhi Xiang walked closer towards the river.
"You suck so much. Here give me the wood, I want to try it, you think my little arm is unreliable? I'm even better than you," said Zhi Xiang snatching the wood from Dae Hoi's hand.
Zhi Xiang went to the river and took the wood that Dae Hoi was holding and looked for fish, with one try Zhi Xiang was able to catch the fish.
"Yeah! I got it, let's eat!" Zhi Xiang shouted happily then grabbed Dae Hoi's hand and brought him to the river bank, Dae Hoi just looked at Zhi Xiang and smile.
"Finally we won't go hungry, I can be relied on" Zhi Xiang said boasting himself, they started grilling the fish and eating it, suddenly someone came.
"That's them!" shouted someone who had just arrived.
"Aish.. Why did they come before we ate this fish. Aish.." Dae Hoi annoyed, Zhi Xiang was very surprised how they could be this fast, they rushed to run into the forest.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Zhi Xiang! Hurry up!"
They kept running in the middle of the night through the forest, the sound of gun shots always accompanied their steps. Dae Hoi suddenly grabbed Zhi Xiang's hand and asked him to take cover behind the bushe.
"Shut up!" Dae Hoi said covering Zhi Xiang's mouth because he was too panicked and shocked.
When things got clear, they ran the other way to avoid Dun Ming, but Zhi Xiang fell and his feet were bleedin.
"Ahhh!" shouted Zhi Xiang in heart.
"Are you okay? Your feet are bleeding, get on my back fast!" asked Dae Hoi then crouched down in front of Zhi Xiang.
"No, I'm still strong enough to walk. Come on!" Zhi Xiang refused and he forced himself to keep going. They walked very fast, with Zhi Xiang's condition like that finally Dae Hoi forced to carry Zhi Xiang who had a limp.
"They're there!"
Dun Ming's men find them, Zhi Xiang and Dae Hoi quicken their pace, suddenly Dae Hoi stops and lets go of Zhi Xiang's hand.
"Why? Why did you stop? Come on!" said Zhi Xiang in a panicked tone.
"At this rate, neither of us will survive. Go, get out of here, Zhi Xiang!" said Dae Hoi with a serious expression.
"No, let's go together!" coaxed Zhi Xiang through tears.
"Please," pleaded Dae Hoi.
Zhi Xiang looked at Dae Hoi's face then he left Dae Hoi as he wished. Zhi Xiang tries to walk by dragging his feet, he must be able to survive so that the efforts Dae Hoi has put in for him are not in vain.
"Please comply with my request this time! Let me keep my promise!" shouted Dae Hoi from afar, Zhi Xiang heard the sound faintly and his sobs intensified.
"You have to survive," Dae Hoi said softly.
"Hey! Losers! Why are you sneaky like this? You all are also deceived! Hahaha.." shouted Dae Hoi frustrated he really looks like a madman, he really doesn't feel afraid because he knows he will die here.
"Kill him!" Dun Ming ordered his men and he chased after Zhi Xiang.
A fight breaks out between Dun Ming's men and Dae Hoi, but there are too many of them and Dae Hoi can't beat them all. Dae Hoi's head was hit with an iron and he fell covered in blood on his head.
Zhi Xiang was cornered on a steep cliff and below was the river where his parents died. There was a certain man standing by the tree watching him.
"You will die here with your parents hahaha.." said Dun Ming then shot his gun at Zhi Xiang and Zhi Xiang fell into a deep river.
"boom!"
"I will go with you Father, Mother," Zhi Xiang said quietly and without the slightest resistance, then Zhi Xiang sank into the river.

Someone knocked on Master Bai Cang's wooden door in a hurry.
"Sir, sir, please save my child, sir," said an old man holding his child in panic. Then Master Bai Cang came out of the house to check it out.
"Put him to sleep there, I'll brew some potions first," said Mr. Bai Cang.
After Mr. Bai Cang checked the spices, the child had stale food poisoning, Mr. Bai Cang quickly made a potion for the child to drink.
"Ouch!" the child wakes up and groans in pain.
"Taoist! Taoist!" shouted Tao's father worried about his son's condition.
"Father!" call the boy.
"Your name Tao?" asked Master Bai Cang.
"Yes, I am Tao sir," replied the boy innocently.
"Don't eat carelessly, okay, you have to stay healthy, boys have to be strong and be able to take care of their father so he doesn't worry about Tao," said Pak Bai Cang advising Tao.
"Yes sir," Tao replied in the affirmative.
"Give this medicine twice a day so that he can recover quickly," said Master Bai Cang to Tao's father.
"Okay sir, thank you for saving my son. I only have chicken, please accept Master," said father Tao giving the chicken to Master Bai Cang. Master Bai Cang received the chicken with a smile and they left to go home.
"Tao! If you're hungry, just come here," said Mr. Bai Cang.
Then they both bowed as a sign of thanks.

In the water, Zhi Xiang opened his eyes again and saw a very familiar figure.
"Isn't that my image? No! I've never worn anything like that," Zhi Xiang muttered as he looked at the figure in front of him.
The woman who appeared in front of him, she was very similar to her face, the height to the stature was the same, the only difference was her clothes.
The woman was wearing a traditional dress and looked very elegant. Suddenly the water turned into a whirlpool. Finally Zhi Xiang sank into that whirlpool.

Mr. Bai Cang went into the house to check the medicine, which turned out to be low. Then Mr. Bai Cang took a bag and a knife to look for herbs in the forest.
The weather was getting cloudy, there was a hunter riding a horse. But something strange happened, he brought a palace maid with her head covered in black cloth into the forest. Master Bai Cang hides watching what they are about to do.
"Sir, forgive me, my lord, please forgive me, I will not tell the truth, sir, please," said the lady-in-waiting begged.
"Srang!"
Master Bai Cang was shocked by what he saw, the man's sword was dripping fresh blood and the woman was lying on the ground. Master Bai Cang slumped under a tree and clutched his bag tightly.
