Chapter 17
In Between
Trust
‘Why did you do that?!’ Chun questions angrily.
Rainie just kept quiet.
Chun: You kidnapped Gui Gui and intended to kill her, right?
Rainie: Who in the world told you this absurd news?
Chun: Your best buddy, Selina.
Rainie frowns. At this point of time, Rainie’s feeling towards Selina is no longer positive. She felt betrayed.
Rainie: Whatever it is, your Gui Gui is safe and sound, isn’t she?
Chun: Selina told me, she was the one who saved Gui Gui and you were the one who intended to kill her!
Rainie: Shut up! What else did she tell you?
Chun: What else have you kept from me?
Rainie says blandly: Nothing that you need to know.
Chun: You promised to help me, to win Gui Gui over, and now you are out to kill her?
Rainie: No, I didn’t want to kill her. As you have said, I had promised to win Gui Gui over for you. Why would I kill her? Don’t believe what Selina has to say.
Chun: Why should I believe you instead?
Rainie: Because I am the only one who are willing to help you. Selina is no longer on my side. She had betrayed me. How could you believe a traitor’s words?
Chun had nothing to retort back. He did not know what to do…
Chun: Then why was Gui Gui kidnapped?
Rainie lied again: I am still trying to find out the cause of this incident. Chun, trust me. We are allies, not enemies.
Chun POV: Should I trust her?
Chun hesitated for a moment before he decided to ignore all the rumors and trust Rainie.
Chun: Then what plan do you have for now?
Rainie: Honestly, I am not so sure yet. Aaron and Gui Gui’s relationship had became stronger these days and it’s hard to separate them. Gui Gui’s trust for Aaron is very strong...
Just then, a thought strike Chun.
Chun: But how about Aaron’s trust for Gui Gui? I don’t believe that nothing in the world can come between them.
Rainie: Well, if that’s the case, we will have to manipulate Aaron’s feelings instead…or better yet, the both of them…

At the mortuary
George: *Sighs* I still can’t seem to find any evidence on Sonia Sui.
Aaron sat at the couch, sighing too.
Aaron: Our clues are all gone…
George turned around and asked curiously: Gone? We don’t even have any clues in the first place.
Aaron: Huh? Oh…I meant…
George sighed: Whatever it is, I think this is going to be one of those unsolved mystery cases.
Aaron stood up and said with gust: I won’t let it be!
With that, he rushed out of the office, heading towards the police station.
George shakes his head: Weird kid…
Just then, someone entered into the office.
‘Hi.’ She spoke softly and calmly.
George: You are….?

Police Station
Aaron whispered: How was it?
Gui Gui: The search was tedious but I found out that Show Luo is still within the country and the most astounding fact is that he is going to ride a midnight boat.
Aaron: He is going to escape…
Gui Gui: Aaron, why are you so sure that he is the murderer in this case?
Aaron: I…I will tell you these later. It’s a long story.
This is, indeed, a long story and Aaron had no idea how to tell Gui Gui about it.
Aaron: Gui Gui, don’t let anyone know about this.
Gui Gui: *smiles* I won’t. So what time are we setting off?
Aaron: Huh? No, you are not going.
Gui Gui: I should be the one saying this. I am an investigator, a die-hard crime fighter. How could I not go?!
Aaron: Gui Gui, it’s going to be dangerous and you have just recovered from your sprained ankle and the shock from the kidnap. I don’t want you to be…
Gui Gui: *Interrupts* Speak for yourself. The wound on your arm is not fully healed yet. So, we are on par. Furthermore, Aaron….
Aaron: But…
Gui Gui: Aaron….I trust you.
Aaron: *Sighs and gives up* All right. Let’s go together then…
Same day
-----Close to Midnight--------
At the Jetty
Aaron and Gui Gui knelt behind the crates.
Gui Gui: Aaron, even if Show is escaping tonight, we have no evidence against him. How are we supposed to nab him?
Aaron: Don’t worry, I have a plan.
Gui Gui smiled nervously: I hope your plan works.
Just then, someone arrived. It was Show Luo and he was alone.
Aaron: *whisper* Look, he’s alone…
Gui Gui: Yea, what do we do now?
Aaron: Just follow me and do what I tell.
Gui Gui nodded.
Aaron and Gui Gui walked out to approach Show.
Show was taken aback by the appearance of two strangers.
Show: Who are you?
With that question, Show pulls out his gun and aim at the two of them…
