Getting the gag out, the lawyer coughed and greeted Dongmei first, "Cough, I'm glad to meet you, Miss Guan. I'm sorry for my lack of— Ugh!" Unfortunately, before he could finish, he received a kick in the stomach as she Dongmei repeated her question angrily, "What happened here?! I won't ask again."
Seeing that Dongmei prepared to give him another kick, the lawyer quickly went into his character in this scene, "Okay, okay! Mr Li passed me a message for you, Miss Guan. He said that he already planned this from the moment he arrived but your appearance in his life changed it, making him postpone it. He said you will be able to meet just as you both discussed earlier but he decided to escape earlier."
"What?! He is planning to escape by himself?! Idiot!" Dongmei naturally exclaimed accordingly, just as Wuxing expected it. Why risk getting caught if all he needed to do is wait with her here for the lawyer to clear him from all charges.
Dongmei instinct was to run out of the room and chase after him, knowing he would probably use the cargo ship to escape, but then she heard the lawyer cry out, "Miss Guan! After you read the letter, you will understand everything!"
Hearing his shout, Dongmei froze, looking towards her drawer where she hid the letter Wuxing gave her all those days ago. She actually forgot about it after Wuxing stopped mentioning it. If not for the lawyer reminding her, Dongmei would run out without looking at it.
Getting permission to finally view it, she dashed towards the drawer and pulled a letter which was stuck to the ceiling there, unpacking it and pulling out the note from the inside which contained neat writing, almost filling the whole page.
Dongmei sat down on the bed and didn't hesitate to read it, feeling really conflicted. She hoped there was a good explanation inside which could help her understand what the hell he was thinking.
"My honey, hehe, I hope I'm already calling you as such on the moment of my escape else this will be the time I start. I don't think my feelings will change from how they are like now. I think I will just fall for you more.
You probably wonder why did I escape or how do I even want to achieve it? Well, you will understand everything when you see the surveillance tapes from the day I sneaked away from the apartment. There is something that I didn't tell you fully and that is my power. I won't explain it here as you will understand it better when you actually witness it. I hope that by then, you will realise why it was better for me to escape earlier.
Another reason could be your father who would probably send someone to kill me even if leave you alone. He will notice that you had genuine feelings for me and for him that is enough of a threat that needs to be eliminated. If my escape is successful, the old Li Wuxing you know will be gone. I will change my identity, my appearance, but the only thing that won't change are my feelings for you. I hope yours will stay the same as well."
As she read up until this point, Dongmei's anger slowly started dissipating as she began to understand what was going on. The way he wrote the letter also made her smile a little, especially the last part where he confessed his feeling for her. She understood why Wuxing was escaping but the only question she needed an answer was how.
"Dummy… Why didn't he tell me?" Even with that, Dongmei was still frustrated that he hid this plan from her. There was no reason for not telling her up till this point. Sure, maybe she wouldn't agree to the plan at first but they could still talk it out and get a make a better one, together. Rolling with her eyes, she moved them to the next part of the letter.
"If you wonder what you should do right now, I hope you will follow these steps down below. I believe you will make the right decisions."
Wuxing then listed what exactly she had to do together with timestamps, everything calculated to the minute. She couldn't believe Wuxing actually foresaw everything together with continuing to pretend and follow the actual plan they had now. He also included how they will be able to meet in the future and how she could convince their parents to let her join the Seven Stars easily.
'So he had everything planned already… He knew exactly what will happen and how our relationship will proceed… I was in his plans right from that moment.' Dongmei thought amazed in her mind, actually impressed with Wuxing's brain.
Dongmei couldn't help but wonder what made him fall for her this fast as she read the last part of the letter, but just as she read the first paragraph, she understood it. She snickered unhappily from getting tricked this easily.
"You probably wonder how the hell did I guess and foresee it all? Well, I didn't. The original letter had just vague information about the situation. I switched it yesterday for the updated version. I hope you are not mad.
Ps. After you finish reading, burn the letter and you can proceed with the list. Don't forget to gag the Lawyer and leave him there for the next three hours. I should already be able safe on the land by then. Dongmei I love you, but please, don't act by yourself. Let's work as a team."
Looking back at the closet, Dongmei suddenly wondered, 'Why did he leave him here while taking all of his stuff. Is he trying to impersonate the lawyer to leave? But that doesn't make sense! Their faces are not similar at all…' She still couldn't grasp how Wuxing wanted to do it all. He told her to stay put for now, but she really wanted to run towards the dock, hoping to see him once again.
Dongmei looked back at the instructions he gave her and walked back to the closet while biting her lips. The lawyer was still laying there patiently, knowing Dongmei was reading the letter. Upon seeing her, he smiled and called out happily, trying to be helpful, "Miss Guan! How is the situation? I didn't get any other messages from Mr Li but if there is anything I can do, please tell."
Dongmei wasn't interested in a chit chat with the lawyer and asked straight away, "When does the ship set off back to the land?" She wanted to know how much time she had to figure out what was going on and how to proceed further. Wuxing's plan looked reasonable but she didn't like how much they would be apart from each other. From what he wrote, there was still like a week and a half until Seven Stars would start their special training program and Dongmei didn't like such separation.
The naked lawyer glanced at his arm with sadness and replied based on his feeling, "I don't have my watch anymore but I think we still have about thirty minutes before the ship leaves the dock."
Hearing him, she calculated her time and knowing there wasn't much of it left, she had to get moving. She didn't forget about Wuxing's reminder and ordered while picking the second kneesock of the same kind she pulled out from his mouth before, "Great, now open your mouth."
When the lawyer saw Dongmei folding the kneesock, he already knew what she planned to do with it and pleaded, "Miss… You are not goin— Mhmm!" Unfortunately, just as he started talking, Dongmei suddenly put it in his mouth with one swift movement and smiled, saying, "You can have this pair. I'm dont need it anymore."
She was kind enough to leave a light turned on as she closed the closet doors, only planning on releasing him later when she is supposed to make Wuxing's escape public.
She didn't even dry her hair before putting her sandals on and finally leaving. The guards looked at her weirdly as she quickly closed the entry doors behind her so they wouldn't see much in the inside and said without explaining, "Follow me."
"Miss, what about Wuxing?" The guards didn't follow without a word and asked, quite used to Wuxing following them anywhere. They didn't mention her wet hair as they were not her babysitters, reminding her to stay healthy. They would only get scolded for meddling like that.
To their surprise, Dongmei glared at them and said, "He is not my boyfriend anymore so he doesn't need to walk with me everywhere. He is taking a shower now. Let's go." Without waiting for their reply, Dongmei walked towards the elevator and the guards could only follow, having nothing to dispute her. Since she broke up with Wuxing, Dongmei returned to her old cold self so they didn't dare to talk back to her even once.
Getting out of the hospital, they swiftly manoeuvred between the various gates, reaching the staff block. Dongmei had no idea where the surveillance room was but with just one sentence, she made someone lead them to it. Just as they were walking up the stairs, she heard someone talking just one floor above them. She recognized one of the voices as Chief Warden's and found the second one familiar as if she heard it not long ago.
"Haha, It's always good to catch up with an old friend. Make sure you say another hello to your wife from me. I still miss the apple pie she used to make and share it with us."
"Yes, I will make sure to tell her if she is not mad at me. The ship is going to leave soon. I guess I will get going."
"Haha, yup, I will come with you, I'm free anyway."
"Alright, we can talk on the way back."
As she listened to their conversation while walking upstairs, she suddenly started slowing down her footsteps, not believing her ears. She already heard this voice and not that long ago. When she heard the sounds of footsteps signalling that they were coming downstairs, Dongmei stopped walking and looked up to see for herself and confirm. She knew it was impossible, thinking that maybe two people had similar voices but without seeing it for herself, she couldn't be fully sure.
Just when Chief Warden and his guest passed the staircase turn, she finally saw the man's face and her eyes widened while her mouth opened, trying to say something but no words came out.
Seeing Miss Guan here, Chief Warden naturally smiled happily to her and greeted her, patting the lawyer on the shoulder, "Oh, Miss Guan. Good Morning. Did Miss come to meet with the lawyer representing Mr Li? This is the gentleman in question."
'Impossible! I just saw him!' Dongmei's mind naturally was running wild as saw the lawyer's face. She just left him in the closet and he was here again.
Unbothered by Dongmei's troubles, the lawyer smiled and reached out with his hand, greeting her kindly, "Good morning Miss Guan. I will make sure to take care of Mr Li. No worries."
Dongmei didn't react to the handshake, only looking into the lawyer's eyes with mixed emotions. She tried to hide them but it was almost impossible not to react. She looked as if trying to discern something, find something that could tell them apart but there was nothing she could see on the first glance. Even second and third glance didn't help, making her feel lost.
She couldn't understand what was going on until she finally noticed something in the lawyer's eyes. There was still brilliance in the lawyer's eyes, giving him a confident and smart vibe which she couldn't see in the naked lawyer which she left back in the closet. Dongmei also found it somehow familiar and just as she was about to ponder about it, she saw a smirk appear on the lawyer face, a smirk which she saw many times during the last of her days here in the prison.
It belonged to no other than Wuxing, her dear boyfriend. Now that she thought about it, everything made sense now. Only Wuxing could steal her the lawyer's clothes and here he was, wearing it while having another's person face instead.
Looking at him, she couldn't help but ask herself in her mind, 'Wuxing… Who are you?'
