Second Chance.

Missing hours

*24 Hours ago*
Shen Wei heard the voices and screamed. He suddenly got up and walked out of the house and got into a van. The van drove off to the same building Zhao Xin Ci was once taken to. He followed a man who referred to Shen Wei as young master. They got to the garden and to Shen Wei's surprise the man he thought he would never see again stood before him.
"Hello A'Wei." Wei Fang said to Shen Wei.
Shen Wei was overwhelmed, he didn't know how to respond, he was shocked to see him he felt weak in the legs as he took a step back. Wei Fang walked closer to Shen Wei and hugged him. "Ol-Old F-Fang..?!" Shen Wei's eyes widened as he was being hugged.
"I missed you my child." Old Fang said whilst rubbing Shen Wei's back.

At that moment Zhu Hong walked on them and they all sat down as Old Fang began to explain himself to Shen Wei. "I will cut to the chase, I know you're surprised to see me alive but I need your help A'Wei. Your powers they are more than what they seem, if you help me I can bring Zhao Xin Ci and your parents back to life."
"We've been planning this for centuries, you are a spirit master and your individual powers are not what they seem. You can do more Shen Wei with or without the help of Meng Po. Meng Po actually limits your powers, you are capable of bringing people back from the dead and you have immortality due to being a Spirit Master." Zhu Hong added.
"A'Wei I know you're struggling because you did kill Zhao Xin Ci and I know you did play a part in your parents' death. I can ease your guilt." Old Fang persuaded.

Shen Wei went silent before he asked if he could really bring Zhao Xin Ci back to life.
"Yes." Old Fang responded.

"How does this work?"

"It's easy. Break up with Yunlan. This only works when you go through a heart break."
Shen Wei scoffed as he told Wei Fang to keep his offer. "Do you think I'm stupid enough to do this?! I know you killed my parents Wei Fang I remember what you did to me before my parents died. You really are a monster Old Fang!"

"Haaa so you know about them, then this makes it a lot easier. Since you know what I'm capable of then I suggest you listen to me A'Wei. Break Up with Yunlan or else he will the be the next one you'll be trying to bring back to life, like Zhao Xin Ci wasn't enough..."

Shen Wei stood up to leave and Wei Fang warned him Yunlan will die.
"You will come begging soon." Wei Fang said to himself as he watched Shen Wei leave.

*12 hours ago*
Shen Wei got to his home and the voices returned. He groaned in pain as the voices grew louder, he thought to himself to break up with Yunlan for Yunlan's sake. He entered the house and was greeted by a worried Yunlan who asked where he had been. Shen Wei took a deep breath unnoticed by everyone else and told  Yunlan he was with Zhu Hong. He also announced with a fake smile on his face that Zhu Hong makes him happy so he wants to date her. Yunlan was shocked and asked what he meant by that.
"It means I don't love you anymore Zhao Yunlan, LET'S BREAK UP."
Yunlan walked closer to him and held his arms and told him to say that again while looking at him in the eyes.
Shen Wei pinched his thigh before answering "I don't love you anymore...with Zhu Hong it's easier, she really understands me. So let go of me!"
Yezun walked closer to his brother and slapped him. "HOW CAN YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO YUNLAN GE?!!"
The entire room went silent as Shen Wei ran up to his room, and started to cry. Jing walked in after and locked Shen Wei's door. "Hey, what's wrong?" Jing asked. Shen Wei hugged Jing and told him it was for the best. "It's better this way." Shen Wei repeatedly said. Jing wanted to ask him what he meant but Shen Wei told him he wanted to sleep. Jing stayed with Shen Wei until he fell asleep then he left the room.

*6 hours ago*
Shen Wei was sat at the dinner table with his head down on the table. Yezun walked in and wrapped some ice in a blanket and placed it next to him. "About earlier, I'm sorry Ge." Yezun said to Shen Wei but he didn't reply.
"I understand you're angry and I'm sorry Ge, say something please."
Yezun walked closer to his Ge as he placed his hand on Shen Wei's head, Shen Wei was burning up. Yezun shook his brother to wake up and with Shen Wei's head still down, Yezun began to feel a strong pain in his chest and fell to his knees. He shouted at Shen Wei to wake up as he began to cough out blood from his mouth. Yezun dragged himself on floor to Shen Wei's feet, hitting him to get Shen's attention. Yezun helplessly kept trying until he lost consciousness.

Minutes after, Shen Wei woke up and noticed water dripping from the table to the floor. He then felt a grip on his foot and saw Yezun laying lifeless next to him. He quickly got up to wake Yezun up but he didn't answer. Shen Wei checked Yezun's pulse and couldn't hear or feel anything. He went round the house looking for Lin Jing but he was no where to be seen. He picked up his phone and as he was about to call for an ambulance, Zhu Hong walked in telling him to calm down. Zhu Hong checked Yezun's pulse she couldn't feel anything and Zhu Hong told him the only person that can help Yezun is Wei Fang. Without hesitating Shen Wei put Yezun into Zhu Hong's car as she drove them to a building Wei Fang was waiting for them.

They arrived and Shen Wei pleaded to Wei Fang to help save Yezun. "Don't worry child I will save him but first you need to do exactly what I tell you to do and promise me that no one will find out about thi." Wei Fang said whilst smirking.

Shen Wei nodded as Old Fang took him into a room where they drew his blood and put him in a machine connected to another machine which old Fang entered. They turned on the machine and the first name Shen Wei called out as he screamed in pain was Yunlan. Shen Wei's life force was being pulled out of him and placed into Wei Fang's which woke Meng Po up. He managed to get out of the machine and run for his life. He was lost and with the mind of a 7 year old searching for his mum he wandered off to the cemetery. He got there and laid in a foetal position on Shen Rou's gravestone.

*Presently*
Li Qian was visiting her mother's grave and noticed a familiar man sitting on one of the gravestones. She walked closer to the man saw a familiar face and called out Shen Wei's name. There was no response from the him, when she saw his face he didn't seem himself. She quickly pulled out her phone and called Zhao Yunlan to tell him she's seen Shen Wei in the cemetery and he didn't seem himself. Yunlan told her to stay next to him and not let him out of her sight. Yunlan drove as fast as he could to get to the cemetery. Yunlan got there and noticed Shen Wei sat on the grave stone which belonged to his mum. He was sat staring into space whilst humming to himself. Yunlan got close to him and hugged him but he looked at Yunlan like he was a stranger. "What are you doin-...!" Yunlan cut his words short when he saw the look in Shen Wei's eyes staring at him blankly. The last time he saw something like that was when Meng Po came out. He helped Shen Wei  up and heard "Save Shen Wei, he's about to make a huge mistake. Only Yunlan can save him." before Shen Wei collapsed in his arms.
