Lima syndrome

Bai Zhiyan had not expected that he would do such a thing. Through the layers of confusion in the darkness, he saw Bai Jitai's hawk-like eyes staring at him.

Blood was still flowing down his arm, and Bai Zhiyan was thinking that his wound must be more painful than the scratch on his own arm.

"Don't worry, President Bai. I will keep my word."

Although Bai Zhiyan didn't know whether Bai Jitai could bring the person here, it seemed that his situation was not that bad now.

Knife after knife.

Time passed slowly, and Bai Jitai really did as he said, slashing his arm once a minute. Now his arm was bloody and unrecognizable from the knife wounds.

"President Bai, aren't your people arriving a little too late?"

"No hurries."

Han Jae-ting's patience was slowly running out. He always had a bad feeling that maybe Bai Ji-tae was deliberately delaying time.

Looking at his face that had turned pale due to self-mutilation, Han Zaiting could no longer wait. As long as Bai Zhiyan was still in his hands, he was not afraid that Bai Jita would not hand him over.

"It's been so long and no one has come. Are you trying to fool me? I don't have time to waste time with you. I'll take your brother away first. If you dare to follow me, don't blame me for being rude to him."

"Where are you taking him? Let him go!" Bai Jitai took a few steps forward and stopped abruptly when he saw Han Jae-ting moving the tip of the knife to Bai Zhiyan's neck.

"Stand there and don't move!"

Han Jae-jung grabbed Bai Zhiyan and left in another direction, where his hidden car was. Seeing Bai Jitae protecting him, Han Jae-jung's previous concerns disappeared.

"Master Bai, is this the person you said wanted to kill you?"

He lowered his voice and taunted Bai Zhiyan with a playful tone. Bai Zhiyan lowered his head and said nothing. How could he know that Bai Jita would really sacrifice himself to this extent to save him?

As Han Jae-jung dragged Bai Zhiyan out of the side door, they were seen by Che Jingcan who was chasing after them.

"Zhiyan!"

This earth-shattering roar, wrapped in the cold wind of the winter night, rushed straight into Bai Zhiyan's eardrums. The sound was deafening. Bai Zhiyan suddenly raised his head and looked at the person who should not be here with disbelief. How long had he not heard this familiar voice?

"Che Jingcan you..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Han Zaiting covered his mouth and said, "Master Bai, where did this person come from?"

"Let him go!"

Cha Kyung-chan has been in poor condition these days because of taking care of Yoon Mi-sun. Today, he dressed up specially to meet Baek Ji-yeon. Unexpectedly, he learned that he was kidnapped. Now he has been looking for him with his hair disheveled and looks dirty. He looks so embarrassed.

Han Zaiting said disdainfully, "Who are you to him? I haven't heard that the Bai family has a third son."

"Who the hell do you care who I am? Don't even think about taking him away today!"

The noise here curbed Han Jae-ting's actions. When Bai Ji-tae chased over, he saw Han Jae-ting holding a knife against Bai Zhiyan's neck with one hand and covering his mouth with the other hand to prevent him from making any sound. On the opposite side was Che Jingcan who had followed over at some point in time.

Last time, Bai Jitai fought with Che Jingcan because of Bai Zhiyan, but I didn’t expect to meet him here again so soon.

But now was not the time for them to confront each other. They surrounded Han Zaiting from the front and back, but no one dared to step forward.

"Why don't you two get out of here? Do you want to see blood?"

Han Zaiting, whose exit was blocked, was extremely angry at this time. His hands moved uncontrollably and left a bloody mark on Bai Zhiyan's cheek, which was very glaring on his pale face.

"Um——" Bai Zhiyan frowned as he felt the pain.

"Zhiyan!"

Seeing that he was injured, Che Jingcan no longer dared to stop him, and quickly stepped back to let him leave, "I let you go, please don't hurt him."

His actions made Bai Jitai very dissatisfied. If he let Han Zaiting go like this, who knows if he would do something more cruel after taking Bai Zhiyan away.

Han Jae-jung held Bai Zhiyan hostage and slowly retreated, watching them vigilantly.

"boom--"

Suddenly a gunshot was heard, and the shaky glass on the window finally shattered, breaking the situation that the few people had just maintained.

Several people squatted down at the same time. Han Zaiting grabbed Bai Zhiyan's increasingly uneasy mood and looked out the window. The police had already arrived.

Bai Zhiyan twisted his neck stiffly to look outside, but he saw someone even more unexpected.

Xu Shiyuan actually came here with Ji Chengxun!

Why are the two of them together?

Before he could think more, Han Zaiting's hand suddenly exerted force and tightly grasped his throat. The tip of the knife had pierced the skin on his neck, and the pain brought him back to consciousness.

"Han Zaiting, it's not too late for you to let him go now. Don't make things irreparable."

Ji Seung-hoon's usually gentle and steady voice was now mixed with an indescribable nervousness. He looked at Bai Zhiyan, who had a grim expression, and tried to calm Han Jae-jung down first.

Xu Shiyuan followed behind him, his face was uglier than anyone else present, but Bai Zhiyan's eyes just swept across his face without stopping for a moment, and then stared at Chi Chengxun's face.

At this time, the police officers were beside Ji Seung-hoon, and they were pointing their pistols at Han Jae-jung, fearing that he would lose control of his emotions and hurt Bai Zhiyan.

"Master Bai, you are quite popular."

At this time, Han Jae-ting still had the mind to tease him. Bai Zhiyan felt the cold temperature of the blade and frowned without saying anything.

Che Jingcan said: "If you let Zhiyan go, I will be your hostage!" After that, he took a few steps forward.

"Trade you? Who do you think you are?" Han Jae-ting pressed the knife against Bai Zhiyan's neck again and turned to face Bai Jitae.

"Today is a dispute between me and President Bai. You bunch of insignificant people, why don't you get out of here right away? Otherwise, don't blame me for dying together with the young master!"

"you!"

Che Jingcan was so angry that he wanted to rush over and snatch the person from him.

"Don't mess around!" Chi Chengxun yelled, "Han Zaijung, we will definitely help you realize the demands you mentioned before. If you have any problems, we can discuss them properly."

Han Zaiting sneered, "Discuss? You have so many people and so much power now, what is there to discuss?"

Before, Ji Seung-hoon had promised him that he would rescue his father. At that time, he had been waiting foolishly because he believed his words, but in the end, he got the news that his father's fingers had been chopped off.

He suppressed his body's impulse and questioned him, "Prosecutor, you said before that you would guarantee my father's safety. Is this what you promised? It's not enough that he has suffered so much pain and torture, and you still can't rescue him. Is this the strength of your police in handling cases?"

Chi Chengxun's eyes flickered and he didn't dare to look him in the eye. "We are sorry about your father..."

When he lowered his eyes, his gaze swept over Bai Jitai. Everyone knew that he was the one who did what happened to Han Jae-jung's father, but they could not arrest him because there was no evidence.

"But Zhiyan is innocent. I said I would help you find your father. Before that, don't make a big mistake because of a momentary impulse!"

"shut up!"

Ji Seung-hoon's words instead irritated him. Han Jae-jung's face was distorted and hideous, and he lost control of his hand and cut Bai Zhiyan again.

"Today I just want to settle accounts with Bai Jitai, all of you get out of here!"

"Don't get excited yet. We won't get close to you."

Although it was winter, Ji Chengxun couldn't stop sweating, so he had to calm down first.

Looking at Bai Zhiyan's pale face, the others didn't dare to move for a moment. They didn't dare to breathe and had to step back slightly according to Chi Chengxun's instructions.

Bai Jitai's expression became increasingly ugly as he looked at Han Zaiting's somewhat crazy face. He had just asked his men to go back and find a man with a similar body shape to his father and bring him over in the hope of temporarily tricking him away, but now the situation has changed and he can no longer let Bai Zhiyan go.

He endured the pain from the wound on his arm and faced Han Zaiting with a relatively calm expression, "Okay, since you said it's a matter between us, how do you want to solve it?"

Han Jae-jung held Bai Zhiyan hostage and moved closer to Bai Jitae step by step, and the hand holding the knife gradually moved away from Bai Zhiyan.

"It's simple, I want you to die!" Han Jae-ting shouted at the top of his lungs with red eyes and stabbed Bai Ji-tae with a knife.

No one expected that Han Zaiting would suddenly attack Bai Jitai. At the critical moment, Bai Zhiyan took advantage of the moment when he raised his hand and used all his strength to break free from Han Zaiting. The knife that was supposed to stab Bai Jitai's heart changed direction and only cut the collar of his shirt in front of his chest.

Bai Jitai pushed Bai Zhiyan away. At this time, he was very close to Bai Ji Han Zaiting. When Han Zaiting held the knife and wanted to continue stabbing, Bai Jitai chuckled and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Han Zaiting, I killed your father a long time ago."

"what?"

While he was stunned, Bai Jitai dodged and kicked him in the abdomen. He raised one hand to grab his hair and used the other hand to grab his wrist holding the knife, breaking his fingers. While no one could see clearly where they were fighting, he shoved the knife into Han Jae-ting's body.

Bai Jitai lowered his head and leaned close to his ear, his dimples gradually showing as he smiled, "Go down and accompany him."

The others had no time to react to what happened in an instant. Seeing Han Jae-jung fall down with his hands on his chest, Ji Seung-hoon and the police immediately rushed forward to subdue Han Jae-jung.

"Zhiyan!"

When Che Jingcan saw Bai Zhiyan being thrown out, he immediately rushed over and hugged him in his arms.

"Zhiyan, Zhiyan, how are you?" He touched Bai Zhiyan's bright red neck with trembling hands. The glaring red color almost made him faint.

Xu Shiyuan also hurried over to check on him. In the night, his bruised face looked even paler than the injured Bai Zhiyan.

"I'm fine." Bai Zhiyan opened his mouth only to find that his voice was extremely hoarse.

"Does it hurt Zhiyan——"

Just as Xu Shiyuan was about to touch his arm, Che Jingcan shook his hand away. He hugged Bai Zhiyan tightly like a ferocious dog protecting his cubs and stared at Xu Shiyuan.

"Don't fucking touch him!"

Xu Shiyuan, whose hand was shaken off, did not care about Che Jingcan's actions. His eyes were still fixed on Bai Zhiyan's face, as if he did not want to miss any expression on his face.

“Zhiyan…”

Bai Zhiyan didn't have time to pay attention to the fight between the two, "Let me go."

Che Jingcan was afraid of hurting him and didn't dare to use any force. Bai Zhiyan broke free from his restraints, stood up, and staggered to the side of Ji Chengxun and looked at the dying Han Jaejun.

"I... and..."

Han Jae-jung couldn't stop vomiting blood. Ji Seung-hoon and the police officers were still organizing medical staff to come for rescue, but Han Jae-jung stared at Bai Zhiyan, and there seemed to be thousands of words in his eyes.

Probably knowing what he wanted to say, Bai Zhiyan squatted down and looked at him with a hint of pity in his eyes. Han Zaiting didn't seem to care about his injuries. He held Bai Zhiyan tightly, his eyes revealing despair and determination.

"Myeongdong Cathedral..."

After saying this, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and then died.

Bai Zhiyan looked at the blood on his hands and his eyes that were still open, and understood what he meant.

"How are you, Bai Zhiyan?"

Bai Jitai covered his bleeding arm and walked up to Bai Zhiyan. He didn't know why Bai Zhiyan looked at Han Zaiting like that. He turned Bai Zhiyan's head to look at the scar on his neck caused by the knife.

"Do not touch me."

But just as he touched Bai Zhiyan, he dodged him. Just as he was about to pull him over, he saw two faces that disgusted him.

Che Jingcan and Xu Shiyuan also came over. The way the two of them stood behind Bai Zhiyan and seemed to be hesitant to say something made him feel extremely sick. He wanted to take Bai Zhiyan home as soon as possible.

"elder brother……"

Bai Zhiyan didn't give the three people any look, and staggered towards Chi Chengxun with tears in his eyes.

Ji Seung-hoon, who witnessed Bai Zhiyan being taken hostage, had heartache in his eyes. He took a few steps forward to steady Bai Zhiyan's shaking body, took off the scarf from his neck and put it around his neck, then hugged him.

"It's okay, Zhiyan, don't be afraid, don't be afraid--"

It was not until this moment that Bai Zhiyan truly felt saved. He buried his head in Ji Chengxun's shoulders and neck, trying to draw warmth from him.

"Seung-hoon hyung..."

"Brother is here, don't be afraid, Liao Zhiyan."

The other people were so angry when they saw their interaction, especially Bai Jitai. He felt a surge of blood in his heart and wished he would vomit blood and die in the next second.

"Bai Zhiyan, what the hell are you doing!" He stepped forward and grabbed Bai Zhiyan, "I am your brother. I just saved you. What are you doing now!"

"I said don't touch me!" Bai Zhiyan shook off his hand and still leaned on Ji Chengxun. At this time, his black and white eyes were staring at him fiercely.

"If it weren't for you, would I have been kidnapped? Bai Jitai, are you disgusting?"

"you!"

Bai Jitai was already exhausted from losing too much blood, and now he could hardly stand due to the excessive blood flow.

"Ji Yan is right." Ji Seung Hoon stretched out his arms to protect Bai Zhi Yan behind him.

"President Bai, this incident was caused by you. We ask you to go to the police station and cooperate with our investigation."

Looking at Ji Seung-hoon's dignified and righteous face and the way Bai Zhiyan addressed him, Bai Jitai was in a daze for a moment and finally understood why he felt familiar with him.

It turns out that he is the person on Bai Zhiyan’s phone wallpaper.
