That day, I had a terrible argument with Xi Han. He refused to break up and even threatened me, saying that if I wanted to end things, he would rather destroy me. I felt so sad and utterly desperate. I didn't know what to do. All I wanted was to escape—escape from Xi Han and escape from my current life.
I began to quietly plan my escape. Since Xi Han wouldn't let me go, I decided to disappear completely. I started secretly preparing for a staged death. I leveraged all the connections I had in the film crew and directed a scene myself—a scene that would lead to my total demise.
On set, the lights were dim. We were filming an explosion scene. I sat quietly in a chair, waiting for the moment of detonation. Soon, the explosion came. With a loud bang, flames shot into the sky. And in that firelight, I completely vanished. At least, that's how it appeared to everyone else because I was already dead.
I had meticulously planned this death—from the explosion point to the amount of explosives used, to the force of the blast and the resulting fire at the scene. Every step was carefully calculated. My "body" was burned beyond recognition. Everyone believed that I was dead.
The news spread quickly. In no time, the entire film crew was engulfed in panic and chaos. Meanwhile, I hid in the shadows, watching coldly. My death had garnered enough attention from the outside world. Next came my disappearance.
I plan to wait for this period to pass, then change my identity, move to a different place, and start my life anew. After all, I am already "dead" in a sense. No one will pay attention to me anymore. If Xi Han knew I was dead, he would probably give up trying to control me, right? After all, I no longer hold any value for him. As long as I wait for the right moment, I can leave.
However, things did not develop as I had anticipated. After learning about my "death," Xi Han quickly launched an investigation. Although he had no evidence to prove that my "death" was fake, he still suspected that I was alive. His pursuit made each day a nerve-wracking experience for me. I had to be extremely careful and not show any signs of being alive because I knew how terrifying Xi Han's abilities were. If he discovered that I was still alive, it would be the end for me.
Days passed like this. I lived in constant fear. Xi Han's investigation grew tighter, and my pressure increased. I felt like I could barely hold on any longer. Fortunately, a turning point soon appeared. Xi Han needed to go on a business trip out of town for a while. This was an opportunity for me. I knew I had to leave; if I didn’t go now, it would be too late.
So, I chose to leave on a rainy night. That evening, the rain poured heavily. I drove alone on the empty streets. The rain fell continuously, and the car's taillights flickered in the night like red eyes. I felt that I was finally about to break free from my shackles. I was finally going to escape from Xi Han.
But for some reason, I did not feel relieved at all. Instead, there was an inexplicable fear within me. It felt as though I had overlooked something important.
What could it possibly be?
I drove all the way back to where I currently live.
I parked the car by the roadside, got out, and prepared to head home.
The rain was pouring heavily, with raindrops pattering against me.
I felt completely chilled to the bone.
I quickened my pace towards home.
Just as I reached my front door, suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed me.
I was startled and turned around to see a familiar face.
Xi Han!
It was him!
Wasn't he supposed to be on a business trip?
Why was he here?
I was completely stunned.
Xi Han held onto me and forcibly pulled me down from the car.
His gaze was fierce, like that of a wild beast.
"Leng Yue, did you think you could fool me?"
I looked at him in terror, unable to speak.
"Did you think staging a fake death would let you escape?"
"You are so naive!"
"I'll tell you this: in life, you are mine; in death, you will be my ghost."
"You will never escape from my side in this lifetime!"
I looked at him, feeling an icy chill rise from deep within my heart.
I couldn't escape.
I would never be able to escape from Xi Han's grasp.
