19 Love or Life? End

"Open it," Xi Anran exclaimed.

God knows how desperate he is. He hopes that his sister is just behind the door. Anxiousness, nervousness, excitement-all sort of emotions mixing inside his head.

But of course, if someone is rejoicing, some people won't be happy. That's just how human works, instead of lifting the other's success, they would pull each other in the abyss of destruction.

"The maids hold the keys," Mu Ziyu said scornfully.

Although Mu Ziyu has the guts to ridicule him, he's also nervous inside. He's unsure whether Xi Sheng is still behind the door or not. If she is and she's just scared to come out, then that's good, if she's not, that would also be good. As long as Xi Anran didn't find her, everything is good.

Xi Anran:"Qin Song!"

Qin Song was startled from being called out, nevertheless, he answers Xi Anran's order:"We infiltrated the Maid's quarter earlier and," he paused.

'I hope the young master won't go mad,' he prays in his head.

He gulps several times before continuing:"The maids inside their quarter are all dead, even in the kitchen. They died due to several stabs..

Qin Song closes his eyes.

After he had said that, he waited for angry shouts, gunshots, and their guards pleading the young master to stop beating Mu Ziyu, yet he heard nothing of those.

He slowly opens his eyes and saw the stiff and nervous guards. He looks at his young master and saw him calmly looking at Mu Ziyu. Seeing the young master wasn't going berserk is already a miracle.

But why does he feel the tension and pressure suffocating them? Bad! This is bad! The young master is super-duper angry!

He already expected that those maid would be killed to ensure that none of the information circulating inside the asylum won't leaked. Knowing Xi Anran's character, Mu Ziyu is waiting for him to go crazy, but was shocked because Xi Anran did the opposite.Xi Anran sigh and smile that didn't even reach his eyes, he raised his hands and signals someone.

A man wearing a police uniform steps in and kneels before the door. He was holding a wire. "Stop! Yo... You can't do that! Don't..."

Xi Anran was already pissed enough so her order his men:"Hold them down!"

Bam!

Mu Ziyu and his men are all put into their knees, their arms forcefully put to their backs. Some of them resisted but no one regained their freedom, their guns were taken by Xi Anran's men so even if someone breaks free, they won't have anything to defend themselves.

Mu Ziyu is the only one resisting:"Don't break in! That's fucking illegal!"

Xi Anran only snorted at his pathetic state.

Kacha!

The door was opened.

Xi Anran looks at the door expectantly. He muttered longingly:"Sister..."

When the door was fully opened, no one was there but a messy room. Qin Song and his men went inside and search every corner of the room.

Then a crazy laugh was heard:"Hahahaha, I told you! No one is there!"

Mu Ziyu's joyous moment was cut halfway.

"Sir, we found a body inside the vent!"

They carefully took the body outside and placed it in the sofa.

Seeing the familiar clothes, Xi Anran's hope and worry were lit up, but when he took a closer look, the woman wearing the clothes isn't the person they're searching for.

This time, hopelessness had eaten Xi Anran's mind.

"Where is my sister?! What did you to her?!"

Others tried to stop Xi Anran from choking Mu Ziyu, but Xi Anran's stubbornness in gripping his neck is also kind of powerful. Mu Ziyu can't resist because someone was holding him back.

"Ack! I.. Don't.. Know!"

"Sir, please stop! That won't do anything!"

"Yo.. Young Master.. Don't! Stop choking him! Please!"

When the hands gripping his neck vanish, Mu Ziyu pitifully gasps for air. He thought that he would really die!

Qin Song and the others hold Xi Anran tightly, preventing him from doing anything. They could feel his trembling body and deep breaths.

After five minutes, Xi Anran orders them to let him go, but they didn't even bulge a bit. 'Who knows what crazy antics you will do if we let you,' though Qin Song and the subordinates. Xi Anran inhales deeply:"Let me go now. This is an order."

The others look for Qin Song's permission, and they let him go. But they're still on guard if Xi Anran tries do anything to Mu Ziyu.

Xi Anran made the body sit. He pulls her hair and made her face clearly everyone. "Who is she?"

He was waiting for anyone in Mu Ziyu's team to react.

Mu Ziyu's facial expression didn't react, but Xi Anran saw the ripple in his eyes. But he didn't plan to interrogate him.

"Huh?"

Xi Anran smirked. Someone reacted.

"Get him," said Xi Anran and pointed someone beside Mu Ziyu.

The man looks naive and inexperience. Xi Anran snigger, while Mu Ziyu frowns in displeasure.

Xi Anran stares at him:"Who is she?"

The man whimper as a response, he clearly have no intention to answer.

Bang!

"Ahhh!! My leg!"

Because he didn't answer, he was now roaring in pain.

Qin Song was covering his face.

My dear young master! How did you steal the gun, again?!

"If you don't answer, I assure you that you won't stand up again for the rest of your life."

Xi Anran was wearing a ferocious expression, and there's no hint of hesitation.

The man was already trembling in fear. He didn't want to be shot twice!

"Head... Head maid.. Head maid Khan..." "Stop your madness, Xi Anran! You can't shoot anyone just becaus---"

"If you dare butt in again, I will make sure that your brain will welcome a bullet," Xi Anran said impatiently.

The words he was going to say were all choke up. He was scared because he remembers how he died in his past life. And he didn't want to die again.

"There's still something that you aren't saying. Say it!"

Xi Anran pointed his gun at the man's other leg, his index finger playfully touching the trigger.

"I was.. Wondering because I clearly... Saw head maid Khan in the basement... If head maid Khan is here..."

Then who was the 'head maid Khan' I saw earlier?

"Maybe it was me?"

All eyes look at the owner of the voice.

Xi Anran run to her direction and hugs her:"Older sister!"

Xi Sheng pats Xi Anran's head in her embrace.

She jokingly said:"What? You miss your sister's hugs? I thought you're a big boy already?"

008 shakes his head:"Read the atmosphere. You dumb dumb." It's not a time for your stupid jokes.

Xi Sheng snorted:"Sorry, there's no letter hanging in the air. Can't read it."

008:"That was metaphor!"

Xi Sheng:"I'm a literalist, so my answer is no."

Xi Sheng and 008 were mutually harming each other in their cute little world when Mu Ziyu breaks in:"Ah Sheng?"

Xi Sheng looks at the kneeling Mu Ziyu, his face was ashen and disbelief is written in his face.

"Let's talk later, Doctor Mu,"Xi Sheng said and accompanies her brother in exiting the asylum.

Mu Ziyu didn't make a sound. When the siblings are gone. He raises his hands at the back of his head and said:"I surrender."

...

Xi Sheng looks at the sky. She thought that it was going to rain so hard but the blue and warm sky says otherwise.

The storm has already passed.

"Are you okay? Is there any part of you that hurts?"

Xi Anran asks Xi Sheng in overly worried tone. His previous savage expression is already tampered with care.

Xi Sheng didn't answer any of his questions: "Let's go home?"

Xi Anran nodded.

Seeing the weary backs of his masters, Qin Song waves them his goodbye and prays that they have a peaceful and safe journey.

"Are they gone?" A policeman asks, this man is apparently the chief of the policemen. The mole planted by the Xi's and Qin Song's friend.

Qin Song nodded and stretches his whole body:"Its time to work."

"Cleaning time, is it? Well, let's go. After this, let's drink okay?"

Qin Song nodded.

Xi Sheng and Xi Anran left with a helicopter.

At first, Xi Anran didn't want to sleep but maybe because of stress and fatigue, he slept like a log.

"Did you use the helicopter in coming here? That was dangerous, wasn't there a storm?"

The pilot answers her:"Yes ma'am, but the young sir pleaded to use the helicopter no matter how dangerous it is, he arrived first while the others took the ferry and followed later."

Xi Sheng:"So that's why they arrived in a just a short time."

008:"But that was really dangerous. It was good that the storm didn't harm them."

Xi Sheng:"That was also good the people that pointed their guns at me were Xi Anran's subordinates."

008:"Yeah, if those men aren't, who knows what's gonna happen to--"

008 shrugs and smile:"Have a good rest."

The siblings slept peacefully.

They helicopter lands in a helipad located in a spacious garden, that is just a meager space in Xi Clan's valley.

They were welcomed by Butler Qin Jie. Xi Sheng woke up but slept right after.

Butler Qin smiles at her behaviour and orders his men to carry the siblings carefully to their respective room.

...

When Xi Sheng opens her eyes, it was already the next and her last day.

She took a shower and changes her sleeping attire and went to their dining hall.

Xi Anran saw her and said:"Let's eat together!"

Xi Sheng and Xi Anran ate happily without mentioning what happened yesterday. They didn't even feel the loneliness looming in the room.

After their breakfast is done did they discussed what happened yesterday.

They landed near the asylum and coincidentally met with guards under Seven. They were also injured but close to healing.

They first destroy the electricity and infiltrated the asylum. To quicken things up, they bombed the upper floor with sleeping gases. After that, they subjugated the asylum's defense squad and ambushed the middle place. While others were roaming to find Xi Sheng or vanquish other staffs.

"What happened to Yu Zhan?"

Xi Anran became upset just by hearing that despicable name, but he still answers her:"Yu Zhan was confirmed to be ingesting illegal drugs and then he was put only under house arrest."

Xi Sheng raised her eyebrow:"Yu Clan interfered?"

Xi Anran nodded.

Qin Jie didn't want to break the harmony between the siblings but he had to do his job.

"Young Mistress, a call for you."

Xi Sheng took the call. The other line express that her presence in the police station is needed.

"I'm going," said Xi Anran.

The Xi sibling went to the police station.

...

Qin Song lead the way to an interrogation room.

"What's going on?"

"Good morning, my name is Su Wang," said the man.

Xi Sheng immediately understood the reason of the man's presence:"Why is General Su here?"

"Let me get straight to the point, let Doctor Mu and Miss Yu go."

"And why should we do that? You do know what happened to me, right?"

Su Wang glances at Qin Song:"Can we talk without the outsiders?"

Xi Anran made signals Qin Song to retreat and made sure that no one will hear their conversation.

"First, I am very sorry to what happened to Young Miss Xi, the fault is in us. However, the higher ups wishes for Miss Xi's forgiveness. The North Z Mental Asylum is under our jurisdiction. It is a special place where we conduct our special research on defending the country. That hospital is a secret place, and its very existence cannot be disclosed into the public."

Xi Sheng nodded.

"Do you think that because it is---"

Xi Sheng stopped Xi Anran which made him to shut up.

"I understand what you're trying to say, but how does it concern us? How do you plan to compensate me?"

Su Wang's eyes became sly and said:"I heard your parents were in need of political support?"

Xi Sheng was satisfied by his answer. Truthfully, Xi Sheng didn't want to do anything like revenge or sought justice for herself. After getting out alive, she just wants peace.

However, Xi Anran wasn't satisfied with his answer. Helping his parents is good, but what if he didn't save his sister? What would happen to her?

"That is unfair to us," he said while looking at Su Wang.

"Then what does Young Master Xi has in mind?" Su Wang asks.

Xi Sheng stands up and said:"Settle your business here, and I will just talk to Doctor Mu."

Xi Sheng, with Mu Ziyu occupied another room.

"I really wanted to save you..."

Mu Ziyu sadly smiles at her.

"I really do..."

Xi Sheng wasn't affected by his pitiful smile:"I'm disappointed at you."

He nodded.

"I wasn't given a time to say this but, I really believed on what you said that you wanted to save me," Xi Sheng paused.

"If you want to chase both rabbits, you'll catch neither. You wanted to save me, but you also wanted to protect her. In the end, you save nothing..."

A tear escape from Mu Ziyu's eye:"I just thought that I could make both of you happy. That's all."

"Honestly, you are living in your own delusion."

"You were guilty of what happened to me in the past, in the present you use that guilt in pretense of wanting to save me. But in the process of it, you were getting tired of it. You want someone to blame and shoulder that guilt for you but in return, you fall for her, because you want to abandon the guilt you were feeling..."

After talking and talking, Mu Ziyu didn't give his opinion. He just stared at the table.

"If you're not talking, then I'm leaving."

Xi Sheng waited for him to talk, but he didn't. Xi Sheng left the room while shaking her head in disappointment.

After both sides are satisfied, Su Wang and Xi siblings parted in good terms.
