"Miss Yang and boss. They are back," Jiu said to the awe of everyone as he raced towards approaching Yifeng who looked so tired and haggard. Others raced towards them too. They tried to assist him in carrying Yang Zi, but he signalled them not to. Everyone except Su Jin and Wen Min waited downstairs. They were so relieved that they were back safe and sound.
"Thank goodness, nothing happened to you and Miss Yang. I almost had a heart attack awaiting you guys arrival," Su Jin said, watching Yifeng wrapped the bedsheets around Yang Zi's body.
"What are you waiting for? Help me prepare a hot bath in her bathroom," Yifeng shouted angrily, startling Wen Min and Su Jin. Su Jin thought he was referring to him, so he made to do what he was ordered to do, but he got confused when Yifeng threw him a murderous glare.
"What the hell do you think you are doing? I wasn't talking to you but her," Yifeng shouted coldly. Su Jin was surprised to see his friend act so cold. It has been a long time since he last saw him like this.
"Get moving already if you don't want to be the one lying in this condition," Yifeng threatened. Even Wen Min who never saw him like this was shocked to witness this side of him. She feared how scary he looked. The looks in his eyes showed that his words were not just mere threats, but he meant it. She hurriedly ran to the bathroom to prepare the hot bath since she did not want to be the one lying in bed.
She resurfaced again five minutes later. Yifeng, who was expecting them to leave, raised his head and stared at them. What he did not know was that he looked like a total stranger to them.
"Su Jin, don't tell me you want to see me undress her?" Yifeng asked, staring at him.
"Oh! Sorry about that?" Su Jin apologised, turning to leave, but Wen Min's voice made him stop walking.
"Hey! Don't tell me you are the one who wants to bathe her? Have you suddenly lost your mind? Don't you know that Yang Zi has a boyfriend? Even though she doesn't have a boyfriend you guys are not in a relationship so why do you want to bathe her?" Wen Min asked sternly. Her words made sense to Su Jin, but Yifeng was out of his mind to think straight. The dead gaze he gave her made Wen Min guess that he would strangle her to death for interrupting him if she was within his reach.
"Did you just say something?" Yifeng asked menacingly. His gaze gave Wen Min the chills. She did not need anyone to tell her to know that her cousin was out of his damn mind.
"I know you don't care about your reputation, but think about what those people sitting downstairs will say when they learn that you gave a bath to someone else's woman? It will ruin her reputation. I know you feel hurt and frustrated now, but don't be selfish or your selfishness will ruin that woman beside you. She worked so hard to build this outstanding reputation of hers so please don't ruin it hmm," Wen Min coaxed, trying to see whether he will calm down a bit. Her words slowly pulled Yifeng back to his sanity. He looked at the shivering lady in front of him. He took a deep breath to calm himself down as he turned to face them once again.
"Make sure you soak her in the hot bath for a long time. Don't be a brat like you have always been and take good care of her. I will make you pay dearly if something bad happens to her. Call me right away when you are through bathing her," Yifeng ordered before he signalled her to take over from there.
He turned around to look at her again before he walked away with Su Jin. "Don't forget, I will not hesitate to kill you if you dare mess up," Yifeng threatened once more before he closed the door. Yifeng did not utter a word until they got downstairs.
"Everything is okay, so you can all go to your dorms and prepare for the next item on the agenda. I forbid you all from not performing the show we had planned for tonight. Yang Zi will be alright so you guys don't have to worry," Yifeng reassured. As he was saying these words, he was also trying to reassure himself too. Just when everyone was about to leave, the rescue team, police and emergency team arrived. The already informed Yifeng about their lateness for two hours stared daggers at the approaching vehicles.
He felt like murdering all of them for arriving so late. Yang Zi's condition would not have worsened to that extent if they found them on time, but where were they when he needed them?
"Sue them all," Yifeng ordered his workers before he walked away angrily. They didn't need to be sorcerers to know that their boss' mood has hit rock bottom. They did as he instructed. Su Jin followed him afterwards to keep him company. He knew that Yifeng needed a friend to talk to in the state he was in.
"I was so scared that I will lose her too," Yifeng spoke emotionally after about twenty minutes of silence.
"I am certain I will not be able to live properly if she dies too," Yifeng said sadly. From his expression and tone Su Jin knew how sad and scared Yifeng was. It was a miracle to all of them when Yifeng started living a normal life after the two tragic events that made him lose his mind. Although he always seemed fine, Su Jin always knew that he was never Ok. He knew Yifeng was just pretending not to recall those incidents so he would keep on living. Even he finds it hard to forget that incident not to mention Yifeng who was the most affected back then. Su Jin quickly pushed the memory of their past behind. He wanted to deal with the one at hand.
"You don't have to sound so disheartened Feng. Yang Zi is a strong woman, I am sure she will be alright. She just needs optimal rest and care to regain her normal self," Su Jin said reassuringly. With the state Yifeng was in at the moment he could not bring himself to ask him what happened to Yang Zi that made her condition deteriorate tremendously.
