When Su Ma woke up again, she was already on a bed, lying with her limbs shackled to it. The overwhelming dizziness overtook her. “Qin Chuan?” she uttered when she saw him standing just a few feet away from her bed.
“I cant— I can’t move my body.” She said, her voice hoarse. “What did you do to me?” Seeing the sneer in Qin Chuan’s eyes, fear instantly crept inside her. The last thing that she remembered was losing consciousness from the hunger and thirst. She gulped. Her hunger and thirst was no longer there. Was it possible that Qin Chuan had fed her?
“Please… let me— “
“Now… you don’t look like her anymore.” A smile became apparent on his face before he turned his back on her. “Enjoy the food. That will be the only thing that you will have in the next three days.” He said before leaving the room.
“Qin Chuan! What do you mean?” She tried to sit down but her body was so numb she could not feel her limbs anymore. “Qin Chuan!” she yelled as she looked at the room. It was a white room with no window nor toilet. No table or furniture aside from the bed that she was lying on. “Qin Chuan please….” She begged.
Does this mean that she would spend the next three days alone in this room, with no food, no water without the capability of moving a inch?
“Qin Chuan!” She screamed when she noticed him close the door.
“You can scream as much as you want. Your choice. Enjoy it… Tang Lingyun.” He said, his apathetic voice made her shiver. “Enjoy the solitude.” He said before he left, his footsteps echoing behind him.
“Qin Chuan!!!!!! Let me out of here! What did you do to me!”
“Qin Chuan!”
“Please!!!! Let me go!”
Her voice echoed inside the underground of the Qin Family mansion. However, Qin Chuan never stopped walking. His steady steps took him out of the underground prison while he hummed a tune. With his stern face, Qin Chuan walked towards his study to prepare before going to his office.
The image of Bec Facci on his table caught his attention. A sad sigh left his lips.
As hard as it was, he needed to move on. He needed to let go. He held the frame gently as he smiled. Lily and Qin Yuanfeng seemed happy now. Without him, the twins were happy and content. With the same gentle smile on his face, he dialed a number on his phone.
“Lawyer Xi?” Qin Chuan said. “Yes, it is me. I would like to see you tomorrow at my office. Yes… it is about my will.” The same smile was on his face as he gently put Bec’s frame back on top of his table. “Hmmm. Yes… I will make some last minute changes.”
Not long after, Qin Chuan ended the call before he left his study and went to his office.
“Mr. Qin, the police are here to talk to you about Mrs. Qin’s disappearance. Shall I let them in?” His secretary’s voice woke him up from his stupor. He immediately donned a sad smile before walking towards the large portrait of him and Su Ma on his wall.
“Of course. Let them in.” He answered. “Prepare some refreshments for them.” Tears started to pool on his eyes before he turned towards the officers who just walked inside his office. “Please sit down.” He gave them a sad smile.
“Thank you, Mr. Qin.” The tall officer smiled. “I understand that it was you who reported Miss Su missing?”
“Yes, Officer. I have never heard from her for… four days, three hours and seven minutes now.” He nodded. “My apologies… I just….” Avoiding the officer’s eyes, he held the photo of Su Ma that was on his table. “I don’t understand… why she would leave without letting me know?”
The officers started asking him questions about Su Ma and the things that he noticed before she left. Of course, Qin Chuan told them ‘everything’ that he knew. This included all of her jewelry going missing as well as some of the images and documents that she considered dear. At the end of the interview, the officers concluded that there was indeed a possibility that she ran away.
Of course, the issue of violence also came up. However, Qin Chuan had always been known as a good man and all of his employees said the same thing. He was too in love— they had never seen as happy as he was when he was with Su Ma.
The possibility of him hurting her was just— close to nonexistent.
Moreover, Mr. Qin Chuan’s sadness was real. One could clearly see the sadness in his eyes, the loneliness from his voice and his miserable appearance. He was depressed from losing her.
Wasn’t he just too pitiful?
The officers immediately promised him that they would do their best to find Miss Su. However, when the officer’s left, Qin Chuan’s face changed. From sadness to being apathetic. He sat on his leather chair as he stared at Su Ma’s photo.
Slowly, the sadness in his eyes was replaced by disgust. He could not wait to burn all these photos, he thought inwardly. Maybe he should burn them in front of Tang Lingyun, let her feel the agonizing pain from the fire.
He smiled. Someday— Someday, Tang Lingyun would wish that he would just kill her. She would beg, kneel in front of him. She would not plead for him to let her go. She would plead for him to bury a bullet in her head, ending her life instantly.
And he could not wait for something like that to happen.
….
“Hey do you think… Miss Su really left him?” the police officer asked the moment they left Qin Chuan’s office.
“The walls have ears, Officer.” The older detective said. He turned his head to his left and right, as if afraid someone might have heard the younger officer’s words. “The walls have ears.” He said before dragging the young officer towards the elevator.
