Time: 1:22 PM. Eleven hours and eight minutes remaining. *Bai Li* "You know what Zhang Chao said when I ran into his room, crying and screaming to tell him that Ning killed Mom?" I said, "With your tone, I can say that he must be very thrilled." Her voice got low as she spoke, "The news didn't even twitch a single muscle on his face. The only thing that he uttered was 'That's unfortunate.' And I was just standing there looking at him, shocked. That was it, and then he went back to reading the morning…

*Bai Li* "So, two heirs from rival parties joined their hands together to take revenge on their families," I said. I heard Zhang Xiulan speak, "We are not any heirs from the Yi or Zhang family. We are only someone connected by the empathy of their mother's deaths. I want to destroy the Zhang family, and Yusheng wants to uproot the Yi family." Liao Huifang spoke, "And you two met in Scotland?" "Yes. As to why I was in Scotland, my dearest sister would have told you that already." I felt the sarcasm in…

Back to the time when Bai Li met Zhang Xiulan. *Bai Li* "You are the barmaid of Micro Pub," I said. "Long time no see, Major Bai Li." I sensed a hint of amusement and playfulness in her tone as she spoke. "I am not a Major anymore. I see you aren't using your voice changer like you did in Tianjin." I heard her taking two steps in front of me. "I don't have to anymore." "Because I know the truth. So, you don't fear me recognizing your voice and making Zhang Ning know that we have met before." "You…

Time: 11.51 AM. Twelve hours and thirty-nine minutes left. Ying Yue was pushed inside the room once again by the guard. "Arf! Arf!" "Sis!" Chu Jie and Cocoa immediately surrounded her. Long Hu asked, "Ying Yue... what happened?" Ying Yue seemed pale, and she collapsed on the ground. They saw that her dress was a bit torn apart like irregular stripes on her back, and there were bloody marks on it. "Did they hit you with a belt or a hunter?" Ying Yue was sweating, and she finally let out her whimpers…

Time: 11:04 AM. Thirteen hours and twenty-six minutes left. *Bai Li* Qi Qiang gave me the information I needed, so I set out towards my destination with Liao Huifang. I was ninety percent sure that I was right in what I had figured out. I just needed that last ten percent assurance. I heard Liao Huifang say, "Yes, this is the address that Qiang gave." I nodded. "Let's go." She pressed the doorbell, and a few moments later, I heard someone opening the door. "Yes?" The voice was gentle and sounded…

*Xin Lei* I saw her slowly coming out in the light where I was. As our gazes met, Zhang Ning tilted her head and giggled. "Just as I expected, you know who I am. I felt it in your expression when you came back." I typed. "You did a good job of hiding until now." "Isn't it?" I smiled and typed. "But, only cowards hide." The smile on her face flickered just a bit. I continued typing. "First, you hid behind your sister. You blamed everything on her and got away. And now you are hiding behind a username…

Time: 8:17 AM. Sixteen hours and thirteen minutes left. --- *** "Fuck!" Ditzybitzy cursed as he slashed a belt on Ying Yue's back. "Why aren't you screaming!? Come on! Scream. Cry. Beg us!" Ying Yue's condition was pale as the men continuously kept on torturing her. Sweat covered her forehead, and her lips were trembling. But, she didn't make a sound. She refused to cry and scream for them because she knew that's what they wanted. "This bitch is just like that other woman! She refused to cry…

*Bai Li* "Bai Li. Is anything the problem?" Zhang Ning asked. It was strange. I turned on an impulse. It felt as if Xin Lei was calling me. "Nothing…Can you see Xin Lei coming?" I heard Liao Huifang speak, "No. She is still not here." "It has been fifteen minutes already. She just went to send a text." Then Zhang Ning spoke, "I think she might be talking to someone on the phone?" Still, my gut feeling was saying that something was wrong. Why am I not feeling calm? There was an unsettling…

Time: 7:02 AM. Seventeen hours and twenty-eight minutes left. *Xin Lei* Zhang Ning's complexion suddenly seemed much better now. "Oh, thank you so much!" I had already told Bai Li that Zhang Ning liked him, so he must have figured out her intention, but he still agreed to stay. Maybe he wanted to investigate more so… I sighed. On my side, Liao Huifang was still looking at Zhang Ning as if she was seriously concentrating on something. Zhang Chao asked, "I know it's early for breakfast, but…

Time: 6: 30 AM. Eighteen hours left. *Xin Lei* We went outside, letting Zhang Ning rest. Zhang Chao took us into his study. Bai Li roughly turned his head his way and asked, "What happened?" "Ning was partying all night with her friends, and when she returned at almost 5:30 in the morning, a car suddenly drove past her at high speed and knocked her out. Her head hit a pole, and that's how she got the injury." I typed. "Did she see who was driving the car? Did she say anything when you brought her back…
