He cherished his brother but he wouldn't let it slide if he was betraying him. There were no ties in this world that survived the encounter of betrayal!

Right now Li Qiang was sent back still oblivious to his plans. There was no clue pointing at him so it was easy to say he was off the hook for now.

An awaited knock resounded on the front door, straying his thoughts and seconds later Fan Bingbing entered his office followed by a hastily running Ji Zhou.

He stepped forward unconsciously s.h.i.+elding Fan Bingbing from his Boss wrath that was going to leash on them on his report. Li Yuan noticed the gesture but didn't react.

Ji Zhou kept a file on the desk and solemnly spoke, "Sir...Sir, they have disappeared off the radars since Miss Lei's disappearance."

Li Yuan raised an eyebrow at him questioningly about how did it go unnoticed.

He took a protective step back, "Sir, it has nothing to do with our investigation, we have been discrete." He a.s.suringly glanced at Fan Bingbing before turning to hIs Boss, "Our best a.s.sumption is they suspect Miss Lei may sell them out for the freedom to her captors and that is why they have disappeared."

There were possibilities but they were still showing up at places that required their presence to not let the suspicion raise.

Yu w.a.n.g and Jiang Cheng are away on the pretext of mourning and recovering on vacations but still, they showed up in meetings and family gatherings. They are not living in their Bachelor's pad for a month and a half now.

Su Qianwei whose sole location was unconfirmed did too show up at his place from time to time. In her case, she would be showing up at his door sooner than later. She was persistent so he just had to be patient and wait for her to come at his doors again.

Now either he could wait for Jiang Cheng and Yu w.a.n.g to show up at any place or he could hunt them down. He preferred hunting good dogs.

Yu Youhan could be d.a.m.ned for all he cared, but he wasn't going to stand in front of him. If those two turn out to be Lei's he will make sure they are treated how they are known for treating traitors.

They stood in their lines for years pretending to fight with them when they were informed well enough that all the while they were the ones all the wars were against!

Li Yuan seethed at the burn of betrayal. He preferred an enemy that played fair instead of a serpent that betrayed him in his own lines and he treated them such.

They will pay for it!

They had seen his friends.h.i.+p and kins.h.i.+p, what they hadn't seen is his enmity! They know how to stand with him well, now the time will show if they know how to stand against him. 

"Locate them, I will pay them a visit myself." Li Yuan gritted and clenched his fists.

--------------------------

In the mountainside in a secluded area Yu w.a.n.g drove his heavy bike past the stony pathways in a steady fast pace, he didn't need a map to get through the thick forest, it was his peculiar maze, his sanctuary.

In times like this, he wouldn't prefer coming out of his safe breather but Yu Youhan wanted to hin see into some petty details, if he refused then he would have pestered him then gotten suspicious.

And suspicion would mean he would go around looking for him like a h.e.l.l hound and he would also invite that Li Yuan in his search.

They wouldn't find him even then, no one could go to and fro out of this death trap easily except him, who grew up in the shade of its trees, sliding, climbing and falling.

His mother who was killed in the Game of Heirs years ago brought him up here for the sole purpose when a situation like this would arise.

Here he learnt to fight, survive and hide. This was what a player of life should know to live. You fight when you are cornered, other times you try to survive even by hiding if it requires.

Lei Xinyi was precious to him, h.e.l.l she was precious to every soul she had touched but for all he knows. she was dead. It was a possibility that the body wasn't Lei Xinyi's

Or it can be that it was Lei Xinyi's body and the heir who killed her mutilated it to lure other heirs to the trap of her search.

Lei Xinyi was the only who was acquainted with all the other heirs and every one of them owed her one way or the other so when she was p.r.o.nounced dead, many would go sentimental and clung to the hope that she was alive because of no concrete proof of her death.

Then all the murderer had to do was leave a trail of fake leads and when the next heir follow them and falls in his trap he/she would kill them.

Easy, efficient and relentless!

The game was brutal and he wouldn't put it above them to not play it dirty.

When the winner of the last Game Of Heirs had killed his mother in front of her eleven years old son, he had seen it. He lured her out of her sanctuary by killing half of her clan. She was driven mad with rage and grief and wanted to kill him...

Lei Xinyi was one of the hardest to take down and she took pride in the fact but in a critical position where she had crashed, she was vulnerable so it was a possibility.

She was good but not G.o.d...

The beauty about this creepy forest lies in the death and decay that it flaunted. One other reason people steered away from the place, wild animals.

And because of eerie silence, you could hear if there was anybody tailing you then it was a perfect place for a thrilling burial and you know the rest.

Yu w.a.n.g drove and entered the vicinity of his comfortable big sized cottage. He was about to get off the bike when he froze as his eyes fell on the half ajar door of his cottage. 

He remembered locking it when he left...
