116 Wheres My Son (1/2)

He calls for his bodyguards and they arrive in under thirty minutes.

With their help, he manages to break the door down before barging inside.

The first thing he sees when he walks in are the are maids drugged and sprawled on the floor.

A wave of dizziness takes over him, but he manages to remain awake. His eyes wander to the corner and he sees some type of gas leaking out from a small cylinder.

His blood turns cold at the sight of it.

”An incapacitating agent.” One of the bodyguards grabs the cylinder and rushes out with it.

Han Yuan runs to the living room and sees Su Lian and her grandmother lying on the carpet with their arms tied behind their back. Both of them are also unconscious.

He rushes to her and unties her the scarves binding her wrists. ”Get me water.” He roars at his other bodyguards standing idly by. Startled, they run off in different directions.

”Lian...” He gently strokes her cheek and carries her in his arms.

He dabs a cold cloth dipped in water over her face to clean off her sweat.

With the gas out of the room, it doesn't take long for Su Lian and the others to wake up.

”Yichen!” She cries out the moment her eyes open.

Noticing that she is in Han Yuan's arms, she pushes herself out and breathes a sigh of relief.

She fixes her dress and looks up at him. ”Where's Yichen?”

”...” Han Yuan opens his mouth but closes it back again.
