Bab 78: Lucky Charm
"Wait! I am not done yet." Lena pointed out.
Kris stopped and turned back to Lena.
"You saw him. The man with the scar on his face. The same man I showed you a picture of a while back."
Kris lifted his chin. "He got away."
"No. With your team, he would have not slipped out of the area. You let him get away. Why?"
Kris walked up to Lena. "You want me to be your teacher? Anyone here can tell you that saving a life is easier than taking one."
Kris moved his face closer to Lena. Lena could see his dark unwavering eyes and his distinctive cologne. "I choose to save someone instead. You cannot raise the dead but you can still chase after the live ones."
Kris saw Lena's firm eyes and a strong heart. He walked back to take a seat on the sofa. "So student, tell me, what is your next step."
Lena brightly smiled and looked up to James to show that she was successful. "Play them."
"And how are you going to do that? Madam Yang had played you a few times now. And her pawn has Andy wrapped around her fingertips."
"But she made several mistakes. I am still alive, and I know what can bring her down."
Kris approved this behavior from Lena. When you get knocked down, you get back up stronger. Hit your enemy with their weakness, something Lena had been doing this whole time to him.
"Gary is the half-brother of Andy." Lena stated.
"Say what?" James was shocked. Everyone else in the room did not expect that. They looked at Lena to continue.
"Madam Yang had an affair and gave birth to Gary. Gary is her worst mistake. If the Yang family knows about this, it will ruin her. We need to find out who she had an affair with and make sure Gary is safe."
Lena looked out the door. "He is our ace card."
Kris did not know this change of information. With this, as Lena said, it will be easier to take down Madam Yang. He had already figured out who the inside man that she sent into the Li Group. He will use the mole and fired it back at that witch.
"Are you not trusting me too easy?" Kris questioned Lena.
"No. We both have the same end goal. As long as I am not useless for you, you won't harm me. Plus… your mom likes me."
Kris sighed and pushed his hair back with one hand. 'His mother....'
"So… how easy it is to fake someone's death?"
"Not that hard, Miss. Shen." Keso replied.
Lena discussed a few more things with Kris. Kris told her that he will take care of Gary. Their first plan of action is to use the news to cover up their story. "Miss. Shen has PTSD and boyfriend died from kidnapping."
Allowing the news to spread will secure Lena and Gary's safety. Madam Yang would not be able to look for Gary and Lena would just be a piece of wood. Lena was feeling tired so Kris said they can talk again next time.
"Oh, I forgot to give you this." Kris took out something from his pocket.
"AH! That's my lucky charm."
"It dropped."
Lena grabbed it from Kris's hand and kissed her lucky charm. This must be the reason she is still alive! Lena recalled back a bit to when Kris entered the room to save them.
"By any chance… did you carry me out?" Lena asked.
"Me? Touch you? I think you would be dead if I did that." Kris looked her up and down. "You look pretty heavy too."
"Hey!"
"Rest well, student." Kris turned away and waved his hand. Keso followed him out. Kris closed the door and look at Lena through the glass window on the door.
"Why did you not tell Miss. Shen the truth? You did carry her out and thankfully they were able to revive her on time."
Kris's hand was shaking just thinking about it. He opened and closed his hands before putting it in his pockets.
"She does not need to know about it. And don't let her know about it."
-- Small Flashback ---
Before he came here, he saw that man running the opposite way. However, he told Keso to chase after him while he goes check out the way the man came from.
Kris took off his outer shirt to use it for bandaging. It was hard for him to find the wound since Lena was wearing a tight qipao. The dress was already ripped so he just tore it more, up to her waist. He wrapped his shirt around her waist to keep the pressure on her wound.
"I don't want to go back."
He could hear Lena rumbling some nonsense and then she stopped talking. He checked her pulse again and could not feel it. Kris could feel that his body was already agitated and reacting from touching Lena.
However, he dismissed it. He quickly started chest compressions and checked her pulse. Her heart was beating again but it was just a faint pulse. At this moment, he did not know if Gary was still alive or not. He made the choice to save one and he should focus on saving one.
Kris knew that he needed to carry Lena out before her heart stops beating again. He stood up and shook out his legs and arms.
"She's a man. She's a man.." Kris stared down and look at Lena. He stared back to the wall. "A man...Just a man. Ah, F*ck it!"
He punched the wall then crouch down to carry Lena. He saw something slipped out of Lena's dress. It looked like a ribbon. He grabbed it and stuff it in his pocket before carrying her out of the room. He was running as quickly as he can out of this suffocating place.
When he reached the exit, the medical team saw him running out with Lena. Kris quickly dropped Lena's body on the stretcher. Keso came out after him and rushed to check on Kris because he had blood all over him.
"I need to punch someone." Kris spoke.
"What?" Before Keso could process what Kris said, he got punched right in the face. He turned back to see that something was wrong with Kris. Keso wiped the blood on his lips and looked behind Kris to see that Lena was outside.
The medical team was using a defibrillator on Lena.
"She's back. Send her out to the hospital now!"
Keso focused back on Kris, whose hands were slightly shaking. "Are you fine? You can hit again if you want."
"I am fine."
