"You probably have a death wish," Ling Sheng scowled as he glared at the MRI results, "only a few days out of the hospital and you ended up with another head injury." Gray eyes turned to Feng Mei Hiu.
"It was an accident," Feng Mei Hiu pouted, "it's not as though I ran to the car and told it to hit me." Feng Mei Hiu rolled his eyes in exsaperation.
"You're lucky it's just skin wounds, I will give you some ointment and medicine, but you have to be careful with your head." Ling Sheng sighed.
"Thank you Doctor Ling." Feng Mei Hiu smiled as he stood up from his seat.
"Well amnesia has certainly made you more tamer." Ling Sheng snorted. "You were so hot-tempered before." Feng Mei Hiu simply nodded, deeming it hypocritical to judge the previous soul of the body he now occupied.
Outside Ling Sheng's, three able-bodied men were waiting for him. They had followed him since when he left the house, obviously Wei Ehuang was not taking chances for any mysterious disappearance to happen again.
"What?" Feng Mei Hiu glared at the men as they made it follow him, "you want to follow me to the bathroom too?" The men exchanged looks and sighed.
"We'll wait for you here, but please don't stay long else we will be forced to come get you." Feng Mei Hiu smirked at the threat and walked down the hallway.

"It's been two days Han Yichen and I haven't heard a single word from her." Han Yichen let's out an annoyed huff, can't a man have a moment of peace.
"Daiyu is a grown ass woman Cara, your overprotectivenss isn't cute anymore." Cara threw a knife at him, which Han Yichen caught with ease despite his back being turned to her.
"Can you stop being so indifferent, she didn't look happy to leave with her family and I have checked everywhere, her house and her company, she hasn't contacted anyone either." Han Yichen turned the treadmill off; an addition that was much to displeasure of Ling Sheng.
"Someone sounds like a stalker." Han Yichen chuckled as he tossed the knife back at her. "You should work on your skills, if you're going to be throwing knives like that, you will be dead in a minute." He ignores Cara's glare and wipes the sweat from his chest with a towel.
"Han Yichen, that's not the focus." Cara felt like punching Han Yichen but knew it wouldn't keep the man down, she's speaking from experience.
"Cara if Daiyu needs my help she has means of contacting me, and it's not as if they kidnapped her, she went with them willingly." Han Yichen rolled his eyes. "Besides, she was the one who refused when I offered to kill her father." Cara's green eyes widened.
"You offered to kill her father?"
"Oops! That wasn't supposed to slip out."
"What on eart-"
"Am I interrupting." Han Yichen immediately breaks into a wide grin at the sight of Feng Mei Hiu.
"Come in." Han Yichen turned to Cara. "If you wouldn't mind giving us some privacy."
Cara scoffed. "So much for friends in need." She mumbled as she exits the room.
"You can look if you want darling, I know I am hot." Feng Mei Hiu doesn't bother to hide his stare, his sapphire orbs ogle at Han Yichen's abs, but who can blame him.
Han Yichen is all lean muscles, not small enough to be ignored but also not big enough to be considered unattractive, his muscles are just right, each swell and curve simply glorious, his broad shoulders tamper off into a narrow waist line with a gorgeous V line, his eight packs strong and attractive.
"I have seen better." Feng Mei Hiu snorts once he manages to get a grip of himself.
"Really?" Han Yichen smirks, "I have travelled across the world, seen lot of men and I can tell you something confidently, I have never seen a man hotter than me."
Feng Mei Hiu rolls his eyes, "arrogance and narcissism isn't hot."
"I have been called proud, egoistic, narcissist, but trust me it's just self-confidence," Han Yichen chuckles as he runs a hand through his dark locks, "admit it darling, you have never seen a man as hot as me."
Han Yichen is right, Feng Mei Hiu has never seen a man so damn hot, the alpha is pure sex on legs, but Feng Mei Hiu isn't here to feed his narcissist tendencies.
"You're a business man right? I am here to offer you a business deal." Han Yichen arches an eyebrow in interest.
"What deal?" He casually puts on a white T-shirt much to Feng Mei Hiu's unspoken disapproval.
"I want your protection in exchange of ten percent shares of Feng Corporations stock that I own." Han Yichen's dark eyes glimmers with a dark gleam.
"Feng Xueqin wouldn't be happy with this, you're willingly throwing around Feng Corporations shares, she would certainly be angry." Han Yichen informed.
Feng Mei Hiu had heard of Feng Xueqin, the rumoured ice queen of the Feng family, but he had never met her.
"Let her be angry, the shares are mine and I decide what I do with them." Feng Mei Hiu is unrelenting.
"Alright, you have got yourself a deal, but my protection isn't cheap, let's make it twenty percent." Han Yichen smiles chillingly.
"Ten percent."
"Fifteen percent."
"Ten percent."
"Thirteen percent."
"Ten percent."
"Fine then, ten percent." Han Yichen narrowes his eyes.
"I am glad we reached a deal," Feng Mei Hiu smiled, "first thing, I want two capable bodyguards."
"Isn't Wei Ehuang capable of providing you bodyguards?" Han Yichen asked.
"She is, but I don't trust them." Han Yichen rolls his eyes.
"And you trust me?" Feng Mei Hiu smirks.
"Of course I don't, but at least you don't have any reason to kill me, currently." Feng Mei Hiu notices the way Han Yichen's dark eyes gleam like a predator watching prey.
"I will have my lawyer draft the share transfer papers, partner." Han Yichen said. "Your new bodyguard is waiting for you outside and the other one will join you later."
Feng Mei Hiu nods and prepares to leave, "one more thing, partner, I hate red roses." Feng Mei Hiu takes secret delight at the way Han Yichen's smile dwindled.
********
The car ride to Times Square is silent, his new bodyguard Jin Liang is a man of few words and doesn't speak unless spoken to.
Feng Mei Hiu immediately designated Jin Liang as his driver, he hasn't driven in years and isn't confident about his driving skills presently.
Times Square is it's usual bustle of human and vehicular traffic, they find a safe place to park and cross the road to the shopping mall on feet. There's a huge crowd in front of the shopping mall and Feng Mei Hiu understands the reason when he sees the movie playing on the large screen.
In memory of late actor, Lin Daoming, Glow Entertainment was hosting a thirty days event of broadcasting the late actor's movie every afternoon.
Feng Mei Hiu stood in a daze as he gazed at the screen, Lin Daoming dead ? The whole situation sounded like a bad joke.
By a freak accident of nature, the movie that was playing was one he and starred in as Fu Xiang. It had not been a major role, just an extra. He had played as the villain's mute son whose face wasn't even shown, he had been killed in the beginning of the movie and only had five minutes in the movie.
Lin Daoming had talked to him after his role was over, he had encouraged Fu Xiang not to give up acting because he noticed his burning passion for acting.
"Don't give up, your passion for acting is beautiful and soon enough the world will see it, you're meant to be a star."
And Lin Daoming had been right, he did become a star, but like all stars, he faded out.
"Be careful." A firm hand pushed him sideways just in time to avoid being bumped into by a man.
"You should be more alert, this place is brewing with Lin Daoming's fans and desperate thieves." Feng Mei Hiu snapped out of his daze, turning to gaze at the tall alpha, with tanned skin and dark brown hair. He was dressed in a floral shirt with the two top buttons popped open and a pair of white shorts, his sunglasses looked too big for his face.
"Who are you?" Feng Mei Hiu frowned suspiciously at the man.
"Oh! Forgive my manners, I am Ken, your other bodyguard." He pulled his sunglasses lower to reveal baby blue eyes and smiled. "Boss Han informed me you are my new boss, nice to meet you boss." He stretched his hand out for a handshake.
Feng Mei Hiu disregarded the offered hand and turned to look for Jin Liang, seeing the stone-faced man just standing a few steps from them and not reacting to the presence of Ken, the blue-eyed man was certainly not lying.
"Let's go in." Feng Mei Hiu pushed pass the crowd the two bodyguards following him.
*******
"I think we she finally met Boss Han's rival." Jin Liang doesn't reply, but he nods in silent agreement to Ken's words, their arms are filled with clothes, the shopping assistants not faring any better and Feng Mei Hiu is still buying.
"I will take this."
"And that trouser looks amazing."
"Oh! Don't forget the suit, the blue goes well with my eyes."
"And that hairband looks gorgeous."
"Careful omega." A warm chuckle has Feng Mei Hiu's blood freezing in his body.
Desperate sapphire blue eyes snap up to met amused black eyes and suddenly Feng Mei Hiu is drowning, it's a face he will never forget.
"Beg more and maybe I might let you go."
"You can't run from me."
"You belong to me, underneath me, like the slut you are."
Feng Mei Hiu can't breathe, he can't think, not even with the system buzzing in his head. Suddenly he's back to that dingy cell, chained and abused, he's back in his old body, thin and scarred.
Someone rips the man off him and pins him to the wall, an angry Jin Liang asking what he did to Feng Mei Hiu, but the man can't answer, he too is stunned.
Feng Mei Hiu is screaming and shaking, but he can't stop, he can't control his own body.
"Feng Mei Hiu clam down." Ken's hug is assuring, but Feng Mei Hiu struggles, the hold reminding him of the chains he thought he had escaped.
Pathetic, Weak, Useless.
"It's alright, you can sleep now." The system's voice is the last thing Feng Mei Hiu hears before he passed out.
