"Tell me, do you know anything about Xavier?" Long Xun asked.

Su Yanyan held her head and made a thinking action, she tilted her head to the left and then to the right before she jumped up with excitement. "I remember, I remember, " she screamed in joy.

"Good girl!" Long Xun praised. "Now tell me, where is it? What do you remember Yanyan?" he asked carefully. He wanted to get this thing done with. Once this girl would tell him something about that Xavier, his job would be done. He can then send her away to a good, nice place where she can live her life sufficiently and without any problems.

If this girl wasn't acting and lying to him, then Long Xun definitely has a nice future plan for her but if she is lying to him then he would show her, how big her mistake was to come into his dungeon and play with his goodness.

"I, I remember him talking about going somewhere...." Su Yanyan whispered.

"Where?"

Su Yanyan frowned. She started thinking about it again but she really couldn't remember anything. Shaking her head vigorously she denied, "I don't. I don't know."

Long Xun cursed.

"Are you sure?" Long Xun asked as he narrowed his eyes at Su Yanyan.

Suddenly, the pressure in the room went down and even Layla felt goosebumps rising on her skin. Before her Boss could erupt like a volcano, she quickly interrupted.

"Boss, I think she is like this because of trauma and mistreatment. If we show her to some good doctors, I am sure that they might be able to cure her condition. Once she is all well, then you can get all the information that you need from her." Layla reminded.

She was aware of her Boss's anger and impatience. He would not even put his mind to things that are not related to Li Xiaolu. His patience, his tolerance, and all of his understanding were only for one person — Li Xiaolu.

"Fine, " Long Xun sighed when he realized what he was doing. Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, he heard the door open and he saw Housekeeper Qin enter the room.

"Xun, the doctors will be here in an hour or so with all of their equipment." Housekeeper Qin informed.

Long Xun nodded.

"Who is he?" Su Yanyan asked as she pointed towards Housekeeper Qin. Her eyes looked carefully at the old man who entered the room. He didn't look as beautiful as Uncle Xunxun but she didn't know who he was.

"He is Uncle Qin, " Layla answered.

Su Yanyan looked at the man for a few minutes before she nodded. "Brother Qinqin, " she called giving Housekeeper Qin a sweet smile.

Housekeeper Qin: "..." Qinqin?

Layla: "....."

Long Xun: "...." Brother?

He glanced at Su Yanyan and wondered if he looked old in her eyes. A handsome man like him is called "Uncle" by her while an old man like Uncle Qin is called "Brother" by her. How does her brain function?

Long Xun sighed again and massaged his aching temples. He can only take this much nonsense for now. He got up from his chair and started walking towards the door. Just as he was about exit from the room he heard something.

"Are you going to leave me too, Uncle Xunxun?"

Long Xun paused. Hearing her words, something stirred up in his heart that Long Xun couldn't express. What is happening to him? Clenching his fist, he took a deep breath in, and then he exhaled it out. Doing it for almost a minute he spoke through gritted teeth without looking at the girl, "Housekeeper Qin, shift her into the upper room and make sure that she stays far away from me as possible."

Housekeeper Qin nodded.

"Layla, you take care of her for the time being and if there are any changes in her behavior, inform me about it. Otherwise, don't disturb me, " he instructed.

"Okay Boss, " Layla agreed. "Oh yes, what about the doctors?" she asked when she remembered that female doctors were coming to check Su Yanyan.

"Don't irritate me regarding these things. Just do as the doctors say, " Long Xun shrugged before he quickly left the room or more like he was fleeing away from something unknown, something he couldn't understand.

"Long Xun are you alright?" Housekeeper Qin inquired when he saw Long Xun's pale face.

"I am fine." Long Xun answered curtly. He didn't want to think about that girl or anything related to her. If possible, he would love to stay away from her and focus on much more important things, for eg. Li Youbin.

After giving himself another internal talk about 'getting his mind to focus on important things ', Long Xun felt better. The weird sensation or whatever it was in his heart, disappeared. After having his mind at ease, he completely went back to how he was before. He was no longer disturbed nor he was feeling uncomfortable in his heart.

After getting his mind straight, Long Xun decided to go and visit his favorite prisoner — Li Youbin. As he was walking towards Li Youbin's cell, he paused and he looked at Housekeeper Qin. Thinking about something he said, "Housekeeper Qin, you don't need to follow me ahead."

Housekeeper Qin was started. He glanced at Long Xun carefully and he wondered whether Long Xun might have discovered something or not. "Why?" he asked carefully.

"I think I can handle Li Youbin on my own." Long Xun decided. "For now, watch over that girl and make sure that everything is going well on that side."

Housekeeper Qin nodded with a grim face. He didn't like Long Xun's decision and he didn't want to leave Long Xun and Li Youbin, all alone in the room. He wanted to be there while these two people were confronting each other because if necessary, he knew that only he can stop Long Xun.

That's why be wanted to be present in the room but now when Long Xun was sending him away. He was not in a position where he could blatantly disobey or object Long Xun's decision because that would make Long Xun suspicious about him. That's why with a heavy heart, he watched as Long Xun entered Li Youbin's cell, and then he left hoping that his friend would be alright after this confrontation.
