Chapter 28

Leah opened the door immediately. She was shocked by the overwhelming smell of blood.

The man in front of her was covered in blood, but he was still calm and didn’t seem to be

injured. It was someone else’s blood. Leah figured it out after she recalled the screams she

heard previously.

“What happened outside?”

“Don’t bother.” The man pulled her arms and took her away. They passed through the

corridor while people were rushing at them. A blade appeared out of nowhere in the man’s

hand, and he slashed all of them with it. Their blood almost splattered on Leah’s face.

Leah was already feeling numb about seeing him kill people. The man held her hand tightly.

It was a mess around her. She knew this man was the most dangerous person here, yet she

had never felt so secure before.

Leah was breathing heavily because she couldn’t catch up with the man, so she had to run.

A ray of white light appeared in front of her followed by the howling cold wind at night.

Leah’s head cleared suddenly. She wondered if she was finally going to escape from the

place?

The man pushed her towards the door, “Go! Don’t ever get caught again. You might not be

so lucky to meet me again.”

“Thank you.” Leah raised her head and looked into his eyes.

He sneered, “If you are prettier, I might be reluctant to let you go.”

Leah knew he was joking. She held onto the door handle of the iron door as the wind blew

on her hair from behind.

“What is your name?” Leah asked him.

The man shot a glance at her and only said, “Go! The further, the better,” He didn’t tell her

his name.

He gave Leah another push out the small backdoor and closed the iron door behind her

slowly to block Leah’s

vision.

It was bustling inside Euphoria Land, but it was just a narrow and dark alley outside. The

wind at night was chilling. Leah held her jacket tightly and started to walk faster.

Suddenly, she smelled something burning.

Leah’s eyes widened. She was shocked when she looked in the direction where the smell

was coming from. She saw flames in the dark alley. Euphoria Land was on fire! The fire was

big and spread quickly. It couldn’t be extinguished with water.

Was he the one who set fire to Euphoria Land? Did he plan to burn the place to ashes from

the start?

Leah was terrified. She couldn’t help but think she would also perish in the flames if she

hadn’t gone to ask that man for help.

Leah snapped out of her daze when she heard sirens approaching her location. Euphoria

Land was on fire, and it would surely attract the police and the media. She could not stay

here any longer.

Leah walked quickly and started running through the alleyways. Her footsteps were getting

heavier, and her head was spinning. Leah didn’t know how far she ran. She was trembling

from the cold.

It was pouring at three in the morning. Leah’s speed started to slow down. She dared not

walk on the busy streets and could only walk along the quiet highway. Although she had a

clouded consciousness, she still remembered the direction to lan’s house.

Her breath was getting warmer. Leah realized she must have had a fever caused by the

inflammation of her wounds from the pouring rain. However, she still had a long way to go.

“Screech!”

Chapter 28

Leah heard the sharp screeching noise of a vehicle braking. Its light was shining in her eyes,

blinding her. With a loud bang, Leah was hit and flew three meters away. She fell to the

ground and passed out.

The rain was pouring. Someone came down with an umbrella, and two men rushed toward

Leah.

“Sir, it’s a young lady. She passed out.”

An old man with a white mustache squatted down to check if Leah was still breathing and

touched her forehead.

“Her forehead is burning. She has so many injuries on her. She might die if she doesn’t

receive emergency treatment.”

Another man raised his umbrella slightly. He was wearing an expensive suit and looked like

he is in his forties. When he heard what the old man said, he frowned slightly, “Mr. Carling,

take her back to the White residence.”

Mr. Carling carried Leah on his back and put her inside the car after hearing the man’s

orders.

Back on the streets of Euphoria Land at quarter to three in the morning, the firefighting

team already extinguished the fire when Han arrived. The investigation team’s patrol cars

were parked outside. A police line was put up surrounding a ten-meter radius around the

place to stop everyone from getting close.

Han walked in with Ben. He took a glance and wanted to rush into Euphoria Land.

“Sir, you can’t go inside. We are still cleaning the scene.” An investigation officer in a black

uniform stopped Han.

Han stared at him with his cold eyes and spoke in a cold voice, “Get lost.”

The investigation officer was dumbfounded. Right then, a fat man, who was the officer’s

team leader, came over, “You’re so senseless. This is Mr. Howard. Move over!”

Han didn’t even look at him and walked straight into the underground gambling den.

The place was burned to ashes. Everything has been burned down. The only thing

remaining was the acrid smoke.

Han was very angry.

He walked towards B301 while the investigation team’s leader advised him politely, “Mr.

Howard, don’t go there. That is where the fire started. You might get hurt.”

Han ignored him and kicked down B301’s door.

“Cough!” The leader was choked by the smoke that came out of the room.

Meanwhile, Han’s expression was grim. It was supposed to be a locked room but it had been

burned to ashes. There was no one inside. Ben saw Han’s expression and came forward,

“Mr. Howard, perhaps Ms. Leah left the room before the fire started. After all, chaos must

have broken out, and it’s possible for her to escape during that moment.”

However, the team leader didn’t agree with Ben’s opinion, “We’ve ordered our men to

check all the exits. All of them are locked. No one could have escaped this place.”

Ben stared at him. Han stayed silent and walked inside the room. He crouched down and

picked up something on the floor. It was a silver earring.

Han’s eyes turned into a chilling stare, “Find her. Even if she’s dead, I want to see her body.”

Ben was shaking in fear. He had seen that terrifying expression before when Leah fell into

the ocean.

Fifteen minutes later, Ben and the investigation tearn leader ran back while gasping for air.

“Mr. Howard, we found a burnt female body at the female toilet. She was wearing. The

clothes you bought previously

The earring fell from Han’s hand. He walked quickly toward the body covered with a white

cloth. Her feet were exposed, and she was wearing the high heels that Han bought.

Han’s head went buzzing.
