        It felt like a flashback as Wuxian's car lifted off the ground and was afloat for a minute or so. A flash of memories passed by as the glass shattered and every metallic piece broke and bended. The seat belt did very little to restrain him against the impending doom and he could only do so much to protect himself. His head banged against the head board as he grunted, the whole weight of the car being felt and he folded like a pretzel.

     It was only after several turns did he finally come to a stop and Wuxian literally gasped. He felt the sticky blood flow and cover his eyes as his twisted body got trapped. Rugged breathes in and out, he was confused for a while as his senses took time to recover. The loud sound of a door closing reached him and he knew he wasn't alone. Of course, he couldn't be, this must all be part of his plan... Jin's plan. He struggled to stay awake as the approaching footsteps sounded and the outline of black shoes came in view. He was here...... Or at least he thought it was a he. His visioned blurred, the image of Qin Su suddenly appearing before him so much so that he couldn't even tell which was real or fake anymore. Eventually, he couldn't hold on as he fell asleep, hands outstretched towards her in attempt to save her a second time. He would just have to see where this lead.

      ~Back at Lan Estate ~

  Lan Zhan yelled at the deadline over and over until he realised that it was pointless. Wuxian was already on the move. Fuck! It was a bloody crisis! They had to go now but they couldn't figure out where Jin lived exactly. That's the one thing he had been very secretive about this whole time and they hadn't been able to find out. Picking up his phone once again, he began to call a close hacker associate to begin tracking both Sizhui's and Wuxian's phones. Hopefully they still had them on them and they had to be in one location if Wuxian knew where he was.

     He jumped off the flight of stairs, not bothering to waste time when suddenly a sharp pain cut across his heart, paralysing him. (this is in time when Wuxian's car got hit). Succumbing to the floor, Xichen rushed to Lan Zhan's side, now full of terror that Lan Zhan was falling ill at the news.

     "LAN ZHAN! LAN ZHAN! LAN WANGJI!!" he called out, holding him. Lan Zhan's face reddened as he struggled to breathe, the pain unbearable. He didn't know how but he was sure that something was wrong with either Wuxian or Sizhui or both. It seared through him from all sides so much so that his whole being crumbled. It was like it was being clawed out.

     "Lan Zhan!! Talk to me please!!!" Xichen begged as Lan Zhan slowly came back. They had to go.

    "I'm fine..... I'm fine, let's go!" Lan Zhan muttered biting back the agony as he stood up and stumbled. Xichen wanted to object but there was no stopping this time.

    A servant burst in as they headed out, calling for their attention.

   
    "Masters! Come, you have to see this!!!"


        ~Jin's Hideout~

     He was enveloped....... It felt like he was enveloped. Wuxian wasn't fully to but he wasn't far gone. His touching sense was the one that picked up first, feeling that he was secured to something...... A chair, pole, column he didn't know but his hands were bound. Next came his hearing, it was a vacant room due to the spacious air feel as well as the fact that everything echoed around. From what he could make out he was in an abandoned place, the emptiness pressing.

       A wave of cold water hit him as he got drenched and that was more than enough to shock him awake. His head was pulled back painfully and Wuxian came eye to eye with Jin's bloodshot, demonic ones.

    "Finaly got you, you bitch!!" Jin spat right in to his face. He let him go and Wuxian grimaced. He had to buckle up because this was going to be a wild ride.
