Wang Yibo's POV:

"Wang" Adrian yells my name frantically "let's go buddy" he pulls me out of Zhan's bedroom. Dazed I follow him only to be stopped by Ms. James "Mr. Wang, I don't know what has happened to Master Zhan but please save him" and all I could do was nod.

Save Zhan.

It was when we were in the elevator do I turn to look at Dre who looked extremely pale "What happened to him? How..." I pause to take some deep breaths. It's time to save him Yibo. Concentrate. "How was he abducted?"

"Zhan's therapist Dr. Xiao XingChen apparently invited him for dinner. They agreed to meet at Plaza Diner. They met and were enjoying their dinner. No one expected the next turn of events" we enter the elevator and he continues "2 rounds of shot could be heard. First one hit Dr. Xiao XingChen right through his shoulders and the second one hit Dr. Ruan Suk in his arms. It was during this commotion that Zhan was kidnapped."

Fuck. A deep searing pain aches my heart.

"Where are we going now?" I enquire as we exit the elevator. "We're going to the St. Martins Memorial hospital. Chief is present there. Dr. Xiao XingChen is unconcious fighting for his life. Dr. Suk is present and ready to give his statement. Drew and Sean are despatched to the scene of crime. Jun is waiting in the car to drive us to the hospital. Wang" catching hold of my elbow gently he stops us midstride "we'll save him. I made a promise to you when we were young that we'd never let any untoward harm get to him. Trust me. I'll be there with you. Don't let J play with your mind. For now let's try and save Zhan. Alright?"

All I could do was nod meekly. Meeting Jun in the car he drives us when Adrian's phone pings. Cursing at whatever message he received, Adrian passes his phone to me which makes me bite my lips and causing them to bleed.

The CCTV camera of the restaurant clearly depicts the shooting. Both the doctors are shot. Xiao XingChen falls on the ground immediately and next was Ruan. The shooter was covered in a hoodie and angled away from the cameras (he knew where they were), took the opportunity of the commotion and right there one could see him injecting Zhan with a needle and he collapses quietly. Picking him up, the shooter walks away quickly.

Fuck.

Handing him back the phone I close my eyes and pray to the universe to keep my Weibo safe.

"We're here" Jun's calm voice breaks me from my reverie. With a heavy heart we enter the hospital and one of the rookies meet us at the entrance. Guiding us to a private suite, we meet few of the officers outside. With a nod Adrian and I enter the room to find Chief  and Ruan in the waiting room whereas Dr. Xue Yang was with Dr. Xiao XingChen inside.

"How is Dr. Xiao XingChen?" Dre enquires as my eyes seek Dr. Suk's casts. His smile was pale and his eyes emoted the pain he was going through. 

"Still unconscious. They removed the bullet from his body. His partner is with him inside. Ruan was updating me as to what transpired" turning to look at me Chief's voice is stern "Officer Wang, follow me." I dutifully follow Chief only stop and instruct the officers outside "Boys, stand guard. Don't let anyone without thorough inspection. If either Drew or Sean contacts any of you, let them know that they need to report to me."

"Yes sir!" they salute and I turn to Adrian "If Dr. Suk is in position, take his statements and if possible take Dr. Xue Yang's too. We'll obviously wait for the doctor's confirmation on Dr. Xiao XingChen health." He nods and re-enters the room.

Watching Chief's grim face I walk next to him and with his chin he gestures me to follow him. I take a seat on the bench in a remote corner of the floor with my eyes dazing out of the dark window.

Wasn't it just last night that we kissed? Wasn't it just couple of hours ago where he kissed my neck?

"Here" Chief hands me a cup of coffee and he grimaces at its taste "the bullets that were discovered are from the same weapon that was smuggled into our country. Yibo, I am afraid that we need to solve this case in next 48 hours. If not the case is going to be transferred to the Human Trafficking and Arms Trafficking department respectively."

My eyes widen and they look at Chief frantically "But-" he cuts me off "I am sorry kid. They wanted to transfer the case immediately but then I tried to convince them that this isn't the case for any other departments. I also made a report of our prime witness being kindapped and this being the case of a serial murderer. We have 48 hours to save Mr. Xiao. Let's give it our everything, kid." He pats my back as I clutch my hair.

Zhan!

Weibo!

My phone rings and it was Jun "Boss, could you come back to the stake house I have some information?" I relay this to Chief and he suggests to drive me back to Weibo's place. Dropping in a text to Adrian, Chief and I, we head back home.

"Chief, Boss check this out. I ran a background check on the list of relatives given to me by JC. Sean even went a step further to find out some more details but none of them have reported any boy missing but get this" he hands over a paper "this one is a little strange. Zhan's mother had a distant cousin. The couple passed away few years ago. They had a son who was born blind and grew up in an orphanage. When I contacted them by stating I was a social worker in search for this kid. I gave them my number as reference they gave me another angle to the entire story."

"What did they reveal?" Chief was anxious and so am I.

"They said about half a year ago there came by this doctor who claimed to be a family friend of this boy in search of him. He hoped to help this boy regain his sight. With enough assurance and donation, they found him legitimate and sent the boy with the doctor." Jun places few more papers in front of us.

"Who is this doctor?" I enquire and Jun looks at me with apprehension "It says Dr. Xiao. I even traced the bank account and this is where it gets even weirder. This is an overseas bank account through a sham company. All trace ends there."

Dr. Xiao?

"What's the boys age and name?" Chief probes and Jun places another paper in front of us. It was a photo of the boy taken about few years ago. This is strange. His eyes weren't normal. His pupils were grey.

"He's about 12 years old and his name is Sharon Li."

At the same time my phone rings and I check the call to see it was Adrian. "Dre?"

"Wang, can you come back to the hospital? Dr. Xiao XingChen just woke up but insists on speaking to you."

"I'll be there" collecting the papers I inform Chief and Jun about Chen's wishes.

"You and Jun go back to the hospital and I'll try to find more information here" with a salute we leave and Jun drives us back to where I hope we'll finally get some answers.

Walking into Chen's room we are asked to wait in the waiting room with Dr. Xue Yang as the doctors were conducting some tests on Chen. It's when he sees the papers of our investigation of Sharon Li that he looks perplexed "Office Wang, can I have a look at those paper?" There was no reason to deny and I hand him the file. "This boy, how do you know him and why do you have these bank details with you?"

His questions baffled me.

At that precise moment a sharp pain pierces through me. An image of Wei Ying flashes through my mind. Blood. Burn. I could now see the glow of the Red String of Fate diminishing slowly.

Weibo!!!

(Couple of hours ago)

Xiao Zhan's POV:

With a heavy ache I blink my eyes open to see me bound by hand against a chair in an old wooden room. I immediately knew where I was. Looking around there was no one save a window which let me know that it was way past midnight. I remember hearing two shots being fired and before I could react, someone drugged me and the rest, well is the present. But why would they bring me here?

Hearing a pair of footsteps, the door opens and my eyes widen when I see the man in front of me.

Fuck.

"I assume you're not here to save me?" I bite out and he chuckles. Placing another chair opposite to mine, he sits in front of me crossed leg.

"As usual you're deductions are far superior, Master" he grins.

"You far overestimate me, Ruan" I smile back. Two can play this game. "What do you want from me, Ruan?"

"You," he gives me the same old answer and I roll my eyes "well but today let me start by saying that my name isn't Ruan. Not really."

"Then what's your name? J?" this peeked my curiosity.

"Let me first ask you this, Wei Wuxian" his voice is soft as he gets up from his chair and crouches in front of me.

Wei Wuxian? My heart thunders.

"Do you remember your age old nemesis Jin Guang Yao?" he enquires and I nod. Ofcourse he was Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji's nemesis.

Placing his hand softly on my cheeks he whispers "Don't worry. I am not that wretched imbecile" he whispers in my ears "rather I was his son who was killed at a very young age. The 'J' belongs to me Jin RuSong, son of Qin Su. Aka Li 'Ru'- an 'Su'- k. Cousin of the the beloved Jin RuLan."

Fuck.

Li Ruan Suk.

Jin RuSong.
