Lima syndrome

“Hey Jiyeon, it’s me.”

Ji Seung-hoon called and Che Kyung-chan hung up, but then he called again.

Bai Zhiyan was nervous when he received a call early in the morning. "What's wrong, Chengxun brother? Did something happen to Bai Jitai?"

"It was indeed an accident."

Chi Chengxun took a deep breath on the other end of the phone. "Ji Yan, don't worry after you finish listening to me. Bai Jitai will be released soon, and he has specifically asked you to pick him up."

"What!" Bai Zhiyan exclaimed, he could hardly believe his ears.

"Haven't we already collected evidence of his crime? Why was he acquitted?"

Bai Zhiyan's voice gradually increased. Che Jingcan heard the noise and came out of the bathroom and walked behind him.

"It was his lawyer who brought up his history of mental illness. He was prepared to use mental disorder as an excuse to escape legal sanctions."

"This madman, Bai Jitai, this madman!"

They thought the matter would end there, but they still underestimated Bai Jitai's methods. Even if they arrested him, in addition to falsifying medical history, there would probably be countless people willing to be his scapegoats.

After hanging up the phone, Che Jingcan looked at Bai Zhiyan's pale face at a loss. He didn't understand the entanglement between him and Bai Jita. He originally thought that Bai Jita's control over him was too strong and Bai Zhiyan hated him. Now it seems that it is not just that.

"Ji Yan, Zhi Yan, can you calm down for a moment?"

He hugged Bai Zhiyan and raised his hand to gently stroke his back which was trembling with anger.

There had to be something else, something he had missed.

Bai Zhiyan was in no mood to pay attention to Che Jingcan's comfort. His brain was working frantically. When he looked up at the white walls of his room, he finally thought of something.

"The wall...the wall!"

He broke free from Che Jingcan's embrace and hurried to Bai Jitae's room.

Looking at the gorgeous lotus and colorful striped butterflies on the wall, he raised his hand and knocked on the hollow wall again.

When Che Jingcan chased after him, he saw Bai Zhiyan facing a painted wall that was out of tune with the dark-colored bedroom. His hands were tapping on the wall, and a look of madness seemed to appear on his face. He had never seen Bai Zhiyan like this before.

"This wall is..."

As the sound of "knock knock knock" was heard in the room, no matter how slow Che Jingcan was, he realized that there was something wrong with the wall.

"This is our last hope."

As Bai Zhiyan spoke, he ran downstairs to the warehouse to look for tools. Che Jingcan didn't understand why, but still followed him closely.

When he saw him swinging the hammer at the wall, Che Jingcan finally understood what he was going to do.

"let me."

"No need for me to--"

He snatched the hammer from Bai Zhiyan without saying a word.

If Bai Zhiyan wanted to commit crimes such as kidnapping and extortion, he was willing to be his accomplice and bear the blame for him. If Bai Zhiyan wanted to kill, burn, behead or poison, he was willing to be his executioner and help him carry out the execution himself.

When a big hole was created in the wall as Che Kyung-chan raised his hammer, the thing that Bai Zhiyan and Ji Seung-hoon most wanted to see finally appeared.

It was indeed what he was thinking.

They collected all the evidence related to Bai Jitai's crimes, but could not find any clues that he had colluded with the underground market to sell human organs.

He actually hid the evidence in his own room.

"It's really dark under the lamp."

Looking at the information that was like a small mountain in front of him, Bai Zhiyan could no longer suppress the madness in his eyes. He immediately sent a text message to Chi Chengxun. He couldn't wait to go to the police station to witness Bai Jitai's end with his own eyes.

After Ji Seung-hoon replied that he would be there with the police soon, Bai Zhiyan's tense heart could finally relax. This time, Bai Jitae had nowhere to escape.

"Zhiyan, your brother - Bai Jitai..."

Che Jingcan was so shocked by the scene before him that he was speechless. This was far beyond his imagination. He had heard about Bai Jitai's thundering methods before. He was a well-known killer in the circle, but he was so bold and presumptuous.

"It's time to end this."

Bai Zhiyan stood up, tidied his clothes and went downstairs to wait for Ji Chengxun's arrival. Che Jingcan was shocked but still followed Bai Zhiyan closely.

After Chi Chengxun arrived with his men, they successfully retrieved the information, and Bai Zhiyan naturally became the whistleblower of Bai Jitai's crime.

"Brother Chengxun, I want to go back with you." Bai Zhiyan pulled Chi Chengxun's sleeve, "Doesn't Bai Jitai want to see me? It just so happens that I have something to say to him."

Looking at the determined eyes of the young man in front of him, Ji Seung-hoon pursed his lips and finally nodded, then took Bai Zhiyan and Che Jingcan back to the police station.

On the way to the police station, Bai Zhiyan and Che Jingcan sat in the back seat. Che Jingcan could clearly feel his body shaking uncontrollably. As if to share his uneasiness, Che Jingcan held his cold hand tightly to give him warmth.

Bai Zhiyan lowered his eyes and looked at his hand that was being held. He didn't say anything and didn't pull his hand away. He didn't let go until they got off the car.

Ji Seung-hoon took the two of them to the interrogation room where Bai Ji-tae was imprisoned. Bai Zhiyan didn't want Che Jingcan to go with him, but Che Jingcan insisted on coming with him.

"Never mind. It's up to you."

It has been almost a week since I last met Bai Jitae, and a lot has happened in this short period of time.

"You are finally here, Bai Zhiyan."

Bai Jitai was not surprised to see Bai Zhiyan coming, but he couldn't help frowning when he saw Che Jingcan behind him.

"Why did he come with you?"

Bai Zhiyan did not answer his question. He pulled the chair in front of him and sat down. Che Jingcan stood behind him with a vigilant look on his face.

"Aren't you curious about why I came here?"

Hearing the all-too-familiar voice, Bai Jitai raised the corners of his lips. The days of interrogation did not make his face look haggard and dishevelled. When he smiled, he was still as dignified and superior as before.

"These idiots have no way of arresting me for my crime. They have no reason to detain me. Bai Zhiyan, you can only take me home."

"Oh, is it so?"

Bai Zhiyan sneered and leaned closer to Bai Jitai, "I did come here to tell you some good news, but it's not what you thought."

"What do you mean?"

At this moment, there was an indescribable expression on Bai Zhiyan's face. The corners of his mouth were raised, his eyebrows were slightly upturned, his eyes were full of mockery, and even his low chuckle was more relaxed than ever before.

Seeing him like this, Bai Jitai clenched his fists and began to exert force unconsciously.

"What good news?"

"What's hidden behind that wall in your room? I don't need to tell you, do I?"

After he finished speaking, Bai Jita's eyes widened, and he suddenly stood up and moved closer to Bai Zhiyan.

"What do you mean? What did you do to that wall?"

Bai Zhiyan stepped back slightly to keep some distance from him, smiling all the time.

"Of course it was smashed."

"Smashed?"

"Yes, I smashed it. I thought you didn't like the painting on the wall anyway, so I helped you destroy it, but who knew there was a secret behind the wall."

Bai Jitai was suddenly furious. He rushed towards Bai Zhiyan without caring that his hands were still handcuffed.

"How dare you destroy the painting! Bai Zhiyan, how dare you smash it!"

Che Jingcan was afraid that Bai Jitae would hurt him, so he quickly pulled Bai Zhiyan back and protected him in his arms.

"Are you okay Chiyan?"

"I am fine."

But Bai Zhiyan didn't expect that Bai Jitai would be more angry because he destroyed the painting than because his hidden things were discovered.

Seeing the intimate interaction between the two, Bai Jitai's eyes were red with anger. He felt inexplicably panicked in his heart and had a strong premonition.

"You haven't answered me why Che Jingcan came with you. Did he help you? Bai Zhiyan, answer me!"

After Bai Zhiyan stood firm, he looked at Bai Jitae whose eyes were red, but before he could speak, Che Jingcan took the lead and took Bai Zhiyan's hand, interlocking their fingers and answering before him.

"Of course I came here with him because I was worried about my Zhiyan."

Bai Zhiyan still couldn't accept the cheesy name that Che Jingcan kept calling him, and turned his head away in embarrassment.

"What did you say? What do you mean by your Zhiyan? Do you know what Bai Zhiyan's last name is?"

"What's the important thing about your last name? President Bai, I've said it before, what era is it now? Do you still want to go through the monarch-subject, father-brother system?"

As he spoke, he was about to put his arm around Bai Zhiyan's shoulders.

Bai Jitai's panic gradually increased with Che Jingcan's words and actions. He looked at Bai Zhiyan who didn't seem to deny it, and the worst guess in his heart seemed to have come true.

"Bai Zhiyan, are you with him?"

After hearing his question, Bai Zhiyan did not answer immediately. After adjusting his breathing, he hugged Che Jingcan's strong waist back, acting like a little bird.

"Yeah, can't you see?"

Che Jingcan was flattered by Bai Zhiyan's initiative to get close to him. He hugged her tightly, looking like a young couple in love.

"You traitorous bastard! Bai Zhiyan, you actually dared to team up with outsiders to deal with me——"

Seeing the intimacy between the two, Bai Jitai became furious. He stood up and wanted to pounce on Bai Zhiyan viciously, but the police behind him suppressed him first.

"be honest!"

"Bai Zhiyan, how dare you betray me!"

His roar made Bai Zhiyan's body tremble unconsciously, which was a sequelae of being locked in the basement by him before.

Cha Kyung-chan felt the changes in his body and gently stroked his head and placed a kiss on his forehead, "Don't be afraid Ji-yeon, I'm here."

"You two bitches! Do you think you can convict me like this? Don't even think about it!"

Bai Jitai kept yelling and cursing and struggling. The two policemen behind him could hardly hold him down and quickly called for someone to come over.

At this time, there was chaos in the interrogation room. Bai Zhiyan broke free from Che Jingcan's arms and looked at Bai Jitai's angry and bloodthirsty eyes with firm eyes.

"Even if I can't convict you of a crime, I will send you to a mental hospital for treatment in the name of your family. Bai Jitai, don't think you can come out unscathed."

For mentally ill patients who have committed crimes, their families have the right to send them to the hospital for treatment. Now Bai Jitai's crime is no longer sufficient for him to use his history of mental illness to escape legal sanctions.

"How dare you! Bai Zhiyan, how dare you do this to me!"

"There's nothing I'm afraid of."

Bai Zhiyan curved his eyebrows and showed a false smile, "Don't worry, I will find the best hospital in Seoul for you."

"You bastard! You're such an ungrateful bastard!"

The police who arrived quickly subdued the man. Bai Zhiyan didn't want to listen to Bai Jitai's dirty words anymore, so he pulled Che Jingcan and wanted to go out.

When he finally walked out of the interrogation room, Bai Zhiyan heard Bai Jita's hysterical roar.

"Don't even think about running away. I, Bai Zhiyan, will never let you go in this life!"

Bai Zhiyan paused, then left the interrogation room without looking back.

Che Jingcan looked at him worriedly, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Bai Zhiyan forced a smile, "It's just... it's finally over."

He exhaled deeply, as if to let out all the depression he had been holding for so long.

Bai Jitai deserves this. Even if Bai Zhiyan does not seek revenge on him, he will sooner or later suffer retribution for what he has done.

This incident had a great impact. The next day, the news that Bai Jitai was handcuffed and taken to a mental hospital quickly made it to the social news and became a hot search.

Along with the news of his being escorted came the paternity test between him and Bai Zhengren.

Bai Jiying held a press conference about the Rijiang Group, at which she announced that Bai Jitai and Bai Zhengren had no parent-child relationship. She also successfully took back the Bai family's assets and replaced Bai Jitai as the chairman of the Rijiang Group.

At this point, Bai Jitai's incident finally came to an end.

Watching Bai Jitai with his hands handcuffed and a grim look on TV, Xu Shiyuan felt very happy that this damn madman was finally punished.

However, being locked up in a mental hospital seemed too easy for him. Even though the Bai family is now managed by Bai Jiying, it does not mean that Bai Jitai has no chance to make a comeback.

This is not okay.

He had suffered so much from Bai Jitai before, and letting him hide in a mental hospital might help him recuperate. He and his mother had suffered so much pain and torture because of him, and they couldn't let him go like this.

After some thought, Xu Shiyuan thought of a suitable candidate. There were many people who wanted to take revenge on Bai Jitai, and there happened to be someone who could be used.

After turning on his phone, Xu Shiyuan sent some messages to that person. He believed that he would succeed this time.

Compared to doing it himself, killing someone with someone else's knife is what he is best at.

Just when he was about to put away his phone, a message suddenly popped up on his social app. When he saw it was Che Jingcan's post, he didn't want to pay attention to it, but the text he added was too eye-catching.

"The beginning of spring arrives with you, my love."

In the end, Xu Shiyuan couldn't help but click on Che Jingcan's post. The picture below the text was a pair of hands clasped together, and both hands were wearing a very similar bracelet.

He had seen this bracelet on Bai Zhiyan's wrist before.

Could it be that……

"No, it's impossible! Jiyeon said it, he said he would never like Che Kyungchan to be with him in his life, it's impossible... impossible!"

He clearly said that!

Baek Ji Yeon had told himself countless lies, but what he said about never being with Che Kyung Chan was absolutely true.

"Why! Why is even this fake!"
