056: Imprisonment / "Where do you want to go?"

After seeing that cold and aloof face.

Huaiyan was so frightened that she turned and ran away, without even taking her schoolbag containing her clothes.

But the man strode over with his long legs.

With a single reach, she grabbed the boy's collar.

"Baby."

The man's voice was deep and authoritative, and his question sent chills down one's spine: "Why are you running?"

The tone is as if a superior is addressing their disobedient lover.

It was as if they knew the boy would definitely be here.

"You...you..." the boy stammered, his voice barely audible, "How did you get here..."

Huai Yan was petite, and in the face of a man's absolute strength, she was like an ant trying to shake a tree.

He was powerless to resist the man in the slightest.

"Where do you want to go?"

The man's thumb vigorously rubbed the soft flesh of the boy's neck, causing his body to tremble.

Seeing the boy trembling incessantly.

Fu Tingyu leaned down, his hot breath brushing against Huai Yan's ear, tender yet dangerous: "Hmm?"

“No, I didn’t go anywhere,” Huaiyan stubbornly tried to avoid the man’s movements. “I’m leaving, you…”

But before the boy could finish speaking, his wrists were restrained.

The struggling movements stopped as a result.

"Where are you going?" Fu Tingyu repeated coldly, veins bulging on his arm. "Baby, where do you want to go?"

The boy seemed frozen in place, his right hand gripping the plane ticket, enduring the strange looks from others.

He didn't understand.

If Fu Tingyu already has Miao Yu, why would he come back to find him?

Moreover, the man was clearly in the hotel just now.

Why did they find us so quickly?!

"Let go of me," the boy's slender, fair forearm pressed against the man's chest, "I don't want to see you..."

As he spoke, the boy's eyes instantly reddened, and he refused to look at Fu Tingyu's face.

Overwhelmed by endless grievances, Huaiyan could hardly breathe.

He's only coming to find him now.

With such speed, the man should have known where he was that very night.

But they didn't come over to take him back.

Instead, it was a fatal blow delivered just as Huaiyan was about to leave.

The boy stubbornly tried to push the man's hand away, his sobs uncontrollable.

"Why are you crying?" Fu Tingyu suddenly grabbed Huai Yan's waist, taking in all the boy's struggles and thrashing.

Then, the tears on the boy's soft cheeks were gently wiped away.

The man felt as if he were handling a fragile treasure, and he could no longer stay angry.

"Get away from me!" Huai Yan slapped Fu Tingyu's hand away, her soft voice turning hoarse, "I don't want to..."

The boy's eyes were red from crying, and he couldn't stop crying even more when the man questioned him.

For no apparent reason, she evoked pity and affection.

Suddenly, the flight announcement came on.

The plane ticket in Huaiyan's hand is for the next flight.

"I want to, I want to leave..." The boy started to panic, but he was held in the man's grip and couldn't move.

"Fu Tingyu... let me leave..."

The boy's tears flowed down his small chin and onto the floor.

Regardless of what passersby thought, Huaiyan's cries gradually turned into pleas.

The boy was very delicate; his eyes would become red and swollen if he cried even a little.

At this moment, his swollen eyes, his aggrieved and angry face, and his face wrinkled up from crying made him look even more delicate.

If we don't leave now, we'll miss our flight.

Jiang Ze said that he would be in danger.

But Fu Tingyu still didn't let go of his hand, and even used force to hold the boy tightly in his arms.

"Baby."

The man's voice suddenly lowered, filled with an indescribable sadness.

Fu Tingyu asked softly and somewhat bewilderedly, "Was there something I didn't do well enough?"

That's why the boy turned and left without a word, and even went to look for Jiang Ze.

Now, the plane is about to take off, and the boy looks at him in despair, saying he wants to leave.

A man who is always in control and can firmly grasp everything.

Surprisingly, I felt a little lost.

If he wanted to leave, he could certainly let the boy go far away.

But things have already come to this point, and there's no going back no matter what.

This controlling nature was driving Fu Tingyu crazy.

The vague illness in my heart is showing signs of flare-up.

If the boy were to utter another word about leaving, the man's pent-up rage, like a volcano about to erupt, would burst forth.

Fu Tingyu was reluctant to let Huai Yan go.

Upon hearing this cautious question, Huaiyan paused, blinking her swollen eyes.

Jiang Ze's words echoed in the boy's ears once again.

“Jiang Ze sounded anxious, so it’s highly likely that Jiang Zhi is looking for you,” even 073 said. “You have to escape. You can’t defend yourself against a mentally ill person.”

The boy had nothing, and his fighting skills were pitifully weak.

Unable to face Jiang Zhi, who had been confined to a mental hospital for several years and was no longer normal.

The plane was just a stone's throw away; taking that one step would allow them to escape danger.

It is also possible to escape Fu Tingyu.

This was originally a choice that would have been a win-win situation: to leave.

But now, Huaiyan is hesitant to take that final step.

"Let's go." 073 sighed and reminded him, "Don't forget, Miao Yu hasn't been dealt with yet."

Even if Jiang Ze were told that Miao Yu was the one causing the trouble, it would still take Jiang Ze time to deal with it.

It's impossible to remove an obstacle so quickly.

Therefore, there is still only one option: a one-way street.

After much hesitation, the boy finally mustered his courage and, once again, brushed the man's hand away.

While speaking, Huaiyan avoided Fu Tingyu's gaze.

He lacked the courage and dared not look into the man's cold and indifferent eyes.

Huai Yan turned her head away, dodging, and whispered, "Fu Tingyu, move aside..."

He has to leave.

……really.

Fu Tingyu's eyes darkened, revealing a paranoid and morbid gloom in that instant.

It can no longer be hidden.

"I have to—"

Before the last syllable could be uttered, the boy's voice abruptly stopped.

Fu Tingyu did not give Huaiyan a chance to finish speaking.

The man reached out and caught the boy.

-

The villa was pitch black.

Only a desk lamp remained, along with the man's upright back.

Fu Tingyu lowered her eyes and looked at the sleeping boy.

The madness and gloom in his eyes were quickly concealed.

The wall clock is still ticking away tirelessly, making its unique sound.

The dim light enveloped the boy's calm and gentle features.

But it cuts the man's entire profile into two sides of light and shadow.

Endless darkness seemed to stretch out behind Fu Tingyu.

Just one small step back and you'll fall into the abyss.

One is bright, the other dark, like two different roads that, after converging, create a clear boundary.

The plane ticket is for Y City, Huaiyan's hometown.

The boy grew up there, and his parents had also passed away in Y City.

It can be said that Huaiyan had never left that place before going to university.

Fu Tingyu's back seemed to have bent down a little, as if it had lost its support.

He had no suspicion whatsoever if the person wasn't locked up.

The boy will run it a second time, a third time, until he finally succeeds.

Men wouldn't allow that to happen.

He nipped Huaiyan's escape attempt in the bud.

The boy can return to Y City, at least not now.

Fu Tingyu stood up.

After carrying the boy back to the room, the man turned around and opened a pure white door.

The room was spacious, with only a two-meter-wide bed and a huge birdcage studded with diamonds.

Besides that, there were photos covering the walls.

The main characters above are all the same person.

—Huai inkstone.

Among the nearly 10,000 photos, some were taken secretly, others were taken from the front, and the scattered photos managed to capture all the stages of the boy's life.

After getting close to Huaiyan, Fu Tingyu began to investigate the boy.

From Huaiyan's past to every period before she met him in college.

The man, too, used to spend his days and nights working, and would come into this room after finishing his work.

To suppress his morbid and insane emotions.

Fu Tingyu also keenly noticed this.

After the boy met him, his personality underwent a dramatic change.

The change is significant, so significant that it's noticeable.

The boy from before and the boy now are completely different people.

Fu Tingyu firmly believed that he was not wrong.

In some ways, he has an intuition that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

-

"You're awake."

As the boy slowly woke up, 073 swung his leg and announced, "The escape attempt failed."

Fu Tingyu was clearly a trained fighter; he could knock someone unconscious with just one hand.

Huaiyan was caught off guard and knew nothing about it.

It made it easy for the man to get what he wanted.

Of course, even if Huaiyan knew in advance that Fu Tingyu was going to make a move, she couldn't escape it.

With a man's overwhelmingly powerful and absolute strength, there was simply no chance of escape.

"What do we do now?" The boy lay on the bed, his face pale. "Will Jiang Zhi come looking for us?"

If Jiang Zhi comes looking for her, she might drag Fu Tingyu into a dangerous situation as well.

They can't reason with a mentally ill person.

“Actually, I think,” 073 said, “that you might be safer staying with Fu Tingyu.”

Even if the man had bodyguards, he wouldn't be able to run into Jiang Zhi.

The bodyguards might not even need the boy to ask for help; they would handle it themselves.

“And coincidentally,” 073 continued, “we’re almost at a plot point anyway, so you can protect Fu Tingyu.”

In the end, what if Jiang Ze accidentally follows the same path as in the original story?

Everything that had been done was in vain.

The boy nodded, his voice weak, as if he were thinking about something.

After a while, Huaiyan hesitated before asking, "Where is Miao Yu?"

This should be Fu Tingyu's home.

Miao Yu was with Fu Tingyu, so he should be here now as well.

“He’s not here,” 073 said definitively. “MA hasn’t come back yet. Even if he were here, he couldn’t do anything to you.”

"oh."

The boy responded sullenly.

Could it be true that Jiang Ze mentioned a lover from a football team?

Since Miao Yu isn't here, Fu Tingyu must have taken her to another residence.

It seems to match what Jiang Ze said.

Huaiyan felt a lump in her throat and almost cried.

Fu Tingyu is conflicted. If she has someone else, why is she still coming to him?

He would rather have been stabbed to death by Jiang Zhi.

The boy helplessly turned his body to the side, but in the next second, his whole body froze.

A cold, strange sensation came from my wrists and ankles.

It made a clanging sound between the iron chains.
