Once in a month, Yijun never failed to visit the Orphanage of Hope as he often interacted with the children.
But this time it was different the whole orphanage gave off an unfamiliar aura.
The moment he stepped inside the usual activities of children running and playing around the hall were at halt.
"Mother Lucy?" He called out the woman in charge of the reception.
"It's you." A voice from behind belonging to a man questioned him while pointing a sharp sword just few inches away from his throat.
"Huh? Woah wait Mr- Is this even real?"
The man was dressed in an unusual attire something from a costume drama from ancient times.
"They found her! Prince Jianyu! Hurry!" Two men in the same unusual attire ran towards them with swords in their hands.
"Take this man hostage." Jianyu said in his authoritative voice.
"What? Hey! What hostage?" Yijun was lifted like a child off the cradle and a portal showed up ahead as Sheng walked inside it followed by the two men and Huang Jun.
By the time Yijun gained consciousness he was in shock, his arms and legs were chained up in what looked like a dungeon.
"Help! Hello? Anyone? This must be a prank I'm sure of it..no way it's happening for real ha..ha." He started laughing like a mad man as the guards rushed towards him, one of them slammed the metal bars.
"Keel silence! Don't cause a scene traitor."
"He looks so suspicious, it must be him luring our precious princess in the mortal realm.''
"What? Hey! Who paid you guys to kidnap me? Are you loan sharks? Or do you want money? I can give you anything just–"
"Anything?"
"It's you! Listen to me–"
"How dare he call the Prince informally!"
"Let's chop his tongue off!"
"No! No! Aim for the throat ''
Yijun gaped and widened his eyes at their remarks.
"Get out!" The guards obediently left without wasting a second.
"Why did you bring me here? Who paid you to do this? Rival Companies?"
"You talk too much snaps his finger " This caused Yijun unable to utter a single word.
"Whmn! Yhm!"
"Haoran ah...you don't remember anything do you?"
Yijun kept mumbling as the Prince looked at him with mixed emotions.
"Why is he looking at me like that? How does he know my brother's name?"
