Lima syndrome

Han Jae-jung was stunned when he heard his words, and then he showed a creepy smile with a scar across his cheek.

"What a surprise! Young Master Bai actually knows me?"

Before, when Ji Seung-hoon said he wanted to arrest him, he had sent a photo to Bai Zhiyan. The scar on his face was too obvious, and it was hard for Bai Zhiyan to forget it.

"You tried to attack my eldest sister before but failed. What's going on now? Have you changed your target to me?"

"Yes, that's right." Han Jae Ting pulled a chair over and sat down, facing Bai Zhiyan, staring at him with eyes full of resentment.

"Doesn't Bai Jitai like to torture people? How did he treat my father? I will naturally treat him in his own way."

His words frightened those who heard them, but Bai Zhiyan just glanced at him calmly, without any fear on his face.

After all, he knows so many perverted lunatics, and Han Jae-ting is even worse than those people.

"Why, do you want to cut off my fingers or dig out my organs?"

"That would be too good for you."

Han Zaiting leaned over slightly and got close to him, pinching his face and looking at it carefully from left to right. "I don't like your eyes. When the time comes, I will dig out your eyes first, and let you slowly experience the pain of being cut into pieces in the darkness."

"How about sewing my mouth shut, too? That way you don't have to worry about me screaming?"

Looking at his calm face which even had a hint of smile on it, Han Jae Ting narrowed his eyes slightly as if trying to see what kind of storm was hidden in his ink-black eyes.

"Do you think I wouldn't dare? Or are you trying to provoke me on purpose?"

He pushed Bai Zhiyan away and said, "I'm telling you, it won't do you any good to anger me."

"I know. So haven't I been behaving myself well and not making any noise until now?"

After being pushed by him, Bai Zhiyan sat in an awkward position. He carefully twisted his body to make himself sit as steadily as possible.

"It's just that I feel like you're taking revenge on the wrong person."

"What do you mean?"

"Han Jae-jung, do you really think Baek Ji-tae will come to save me?"

As soon as the words fell, Han Zaiting's ferocious face showed a slight hesitation, "Nonsense, you are his brother, of course he will come to save you."

Hearing this, Bai Zhiyan just smiled lightly, "Then you are really wrong."

"Didn't you ask about my identity and background when you were planning to kidnap me?"

Han Zaiting was stunned for a moment and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Bai Zhiyan's words.

"I'm sure you know my identity, but Bai Zhengren took me back after I became an adult. Why did he take me back now instead of earlier or later?"

"You also know that all the dirty things Bai Jitai did were to help Bai Zhengren, right? But his power is growing step by step. Do you think Bai Zhengren would allow Bai Jitai to share power with him while he is still alive?"

"Then what do you mean-"

"I was just a pawn used by Bai Zhengren to suppress Bai Jitai's power. Bai Zhengren has now failed in this power struggle and was killed. All his property has been taken by Bai Jitai. Do you think I am still useful?"

Bai Zhiyan said all these words in one breath. His face was calm and his tone was composed. He did not look like he was lying at all, which made Han Zaiting inexplicably convinced.

"If you don't believe me, you can look at my arms and forehead. There are scars left on them from Bai Jitai's beatings."

"People can lie, but the body cannot."

Han Zaiting approached him suspiciously, brushed aside the loose hair on his forehead, and saw a light brown scar. He frowned, untied the rope, pulled his arm, and lifted his sleeves to find countless scars on it as he said.

"He regarded me as a thorn in his side. When Bai Zhengren was alive, he wanted to get rid of me as soon as possible."

"Do you think I will believe what you say?" Han Jae-ting grabbed his collar, and when their eyes met, Bai Zhiyan's eyes were open and honest.

"When I called him just now, he was so angry that he wanted to kill me right away. Is this what you mean by unimportant?"

"Then why do you think he came to rescue me today?"

Even though his lie was exposed, Bai Zhiyan was not flustered at all. He listed the facts in an orderly manner, "At Bai Zhengren's funeral, his eldest son successfully took over the Rijiang Group on behalf of the Bai family, but I was nowhere to be found. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"

"How many people think that Bai Jitai couldn't tolerate me and deliberately disposed of me? How will the media report it? Will it be 'After the death of the head of the Bai family, the inheritance is unknown', or 'Bai Jitai maliciously prevented someone from attending his father's funeral for the sake of the inheritance'? Which one do you think will make him more likely to be ruined in the eyes of the public?"

The abandoned warehouse fell into deathly silence, with only the broken window still leaking air, making a terrifying sound.

"So you mean that if Bai Jitai came to save you, it was only because of his reputation?"

"Of course. I believe you have investigated our Bai family. I have been with him for less than a year since I met him. Why do you think I deserve him to save me?"

Seeing that the person in front of him seemed to have listened to what he said, Bai Zhiyan continued to work hard.

"And I also know one of his secrets. I originally planned to use this secret to save my life when he attacked me. But if you are willing to cooperate with me, I can tell you this secret."

"But why should I believe you?" Han Jae Ting narrowed his eyes, with a dangerous light flashing in them.

"Even if you don't believe me, you have nothing to lose, right?"

Han Zaiting looked at him without saying anything, and Bai Zhiyan knew that this meant he should continue speaking.

"I know you have evidence of Bai Jitai's crimes and you want to put him to death. I also want to. If that's the case, why can't we two unite to fight against the same enemy?"

"Then tell me what secret you know first."

Bai Zhiyan rubbed his wrist, which was already rubbed with blood by the rough hemp rope. The only bargaining chip he had left was Bai Jitai's life experience.

Although as Bai Jitai said, even if he knew this, he could do nothing about it. Even if he made it public, compared to Bai Jitai, Bai Zhiyan, who was brought back to the Bai family halfway, is more worthy of suspicion as to whether he is Bai Zhengren's bloodline.

"After Bai Zhengren died, I discovered that he was investigating Bai Jitai's bloodline. He was not Bai Zhengren's biological son at all. After he knew the truth, he was killed before he could take back all of Bai Jitai's power and status."

"Who do you think killed him?"

He stared into Han Jae-jung's eyes, and his originally gentle eyebrows became unusually sharp, making Han Jae-jung think for a moment that he saw Bai Jitae who had once abused him.

Han Zaiting turned his face away subconsciously, but his heart was beating wildly. Bai Jitai, this madman, actually killed his father! He actually dared to kill his own father!

No, that's not right.

If Bai Zhengren was not his biological father, he would not be considered as patricide, but after all, they were his relative who had lived together for more than 20 years, and he could be so cruel.

After his brain was confused, Han Zaiting still refused him, "The secret you told me is indeed beyond my expectation, but this alone is not enough for me to cooperate with you, and I will not let you go."

Seeing that he was unmoved, Bai Zhiyan didn't get anxious, as he still had one last trump card.

"I know where your father is?"

"what?"

Han Jae-jung turned his head and widened his eyes in disbelief, and the scar on his face began to tremble. He grabbed Bai Zhiyan's shoulders tightly, roaring uncontrollably and questioning him.

"You know where my dad is? How did you know! Where is he now! Tell me where he is now!"

"Of course I know."

It's fake. How could Bai Zhiyan know where his father is? I heard Bai Jitai mention it on the phone before. His father was beaten to death a long time ago. The most likely possibility now is that he has turned into ashes.

"Cooperate with me." Bai Zhiyan looked at his crazy face coldly and poked his chest with his finger.

"I don't need you to let me go. I just want you to hand over the evidence of Bai Jitai's crime to me. I will naturally tell you the location of your father."

"you!"

"No one wants Bai Jitai to die more than I do. There is nothing between him and me except hatred."

Bai Zhiyan's words were not only for him to hear, but also a warning to himself.

He couldn't give up his hatred just because there was a real connection between the two of them. With Bai Jitai's character, he would never let go of himself. What's more, he had done so many evil things and had countless lives on his hands. He would not have a good ending.

If he wants freedom, then Bai Jitai must die.

But he didn't realize that his voice was trembling when he said this.

"Bai Jitai has now inherited Iljiang and is now in control of Seoul. Do you think you can punish him based on the little evidence I have?"

"That's better than nothing. You don't have to doubt me. This is the best cooperation for our mutual benefit and win-win situation."

Bai Zhiyan looked at him calmly, bent down to pick up a piece of glass from the ground, cut his palm without hesitation, raised his eyes without frowning, stared at Han Zaiting, and put his hands together.

"Merciful Father, I swear on my life that I will devote all my future time to revenge Bai Jitai and let him experience the pain of all those he has harmed. Even if I am cut into pieces, it is not a pity."

"My revenge on him will not end until I die."

"If I break this oath, I will die without a complete body."

As soon as he stopped his resounding oath, thunder rumbled outside the room and lightning streaked across the night sky. Han Zaiting was shocked to see his gloomy and pale face and bleeding hands illuminated.

But what Han Jae-jung didn't know was that Christianity does not allow believers to swear, and Ji-yeon is not a religious person.

He looked at Bai Zhiyan's pale yet determined face, his clenched bleeding hands and his mouth saying such a cruel oath, and for a moment he felt that he was terrifying.

"You are such a lunatic," Han Jae-jung said.

"No, I'm not." Bai Zhiyan put down his hands and looked at him and smiled sincerely.

What kind of madman is he? The people around him are crazier than each other.

"Om-"

While the two were still talking, there was a roar of cars outside the abandoned building, followed by the sound of people getting off the cars. Han Jae-jung reacted quickly and immediately pushed Bai Zhiyan back to his seat and tied him up.

Han Zaiting frowned, his tone ambiguous, "I didn't tell Bai Jitai your location at all. He's really fast."

Bai Zhiyan didn't say anything. He also felt a little strange. He had just been kidnapped and Han Zaiting hadn't revealed their current location. How could Bai Jitai always find him so accurately?

No, why every time?

"Someone is here. Remember what you said just now and cooperate with me." Han Zaiting tied his hands and feet tightly and pulled his hair.

Bai Zhiyan withdrew his thoughts, bent his black and white eyes, smiled and nodded at him.

"Han Jae-jung!"

A roar cut through the sky, and Bai Jitai led his men into the building.

"Long time no see, President Bai."

Han Zaiting said these words almost with gritted teeth, and the strength of his grip on Bai Zhiyan was gradually increasing, and Bai Zhiyan's neck raised in a painful arc.

Bai Jitai was so furious when he saw Bai Zhiyan being tied up that he almost cut him into pieces with a cruel look in his eyes. "What the hell do you want to do by taking Bai Zhiyan away, you bastard? If you still want to walk out of here alive, I advise you to let him go right now!"

"Why are you so angry?" Han Jae-jung slowly let go of his hand and straightened his slightly curled hair. "I heard that he is not even in your Bai family tree, right? Is it necessary for President Bai to mobilize so many troops for a weed-like existence?"

Hearing his words, Bai Jitai calmed down a little, clenched his fists and restrained his hostility.

"This is a grudge between you and me, and has nothing to do with him."

"Fuck the grudges! I just want to know where my father is now and what you did to him!"

Han Jae-jung was a little excited. He took out a knife from behind and put it against Bai Zhiyan's neck. The sharp blade slightly scratched Bai Zhiyan's slender neck.

"Put the knife down!"

The scene was too dangerous, Bai Jitai felt as if his tense nerves were about to break.

He had his father chopped into pieces and thrown into the sea a long time ago, and now he couldn't be handed over at all.

"As long as you let him go, I will release your father immediately."

But Han Zaiting was unmoved. He sneered and put the knife to Bai Zhiyan's face, "Unless you let me see him now, otherwise Master Bai's cute little face will be disfigured."

Bai Jitai's eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot. He turned around and said something to his subordinates to let them go out first, then said to Han Zaiting with an unclear expression: "I will have someone bring your father here. Don't touch him. This matter has nothing to do with him."

Han Zaiting looked at him and then at Bai Zhiyan, and smiled coldly, "But I don't have much patience, so let's just do this -"

He pulled out another knife from behind and threw it at Bai Jitai's feet.

"Until I meet my father, you cut yourself once every minute. I'll keep time for you. If I cut you once, I'll make up for it on him. What do you think?"

Bai Zhiyan had not expected things to develop to this point. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Han Zaiting's gloomy and hideous face. If Bai Jita didn't care about his life or death, wouldn't he have to be cut by him with a knife all the time?

"can."

Bai Jitai's steady voice interrupted his thoughts. He bent down, picked up the knife and cut his arm without hesitation. Blood flowed down his arm.

"You'd better time it right and don't even think about bumping into him."
