Kang Chen had only one thought in his mind, Ming Mei was missing.
Yes, she was missing.
She disappeared just like that, without him even knowing.
Kang Chen finally understood why he felt a sense of panic and unease from the moment he awoke that morning, as if he had lost something incredibly important. It was only now that he realized what he had truly lost.
—Ming Mei was missing.
Missing.
At that moment, he flung away the woman's hand. Kang Chen wanted to draw his gun and force that woman to tell him where Ming Mei was. He wanted to kill, he wanted to know who had arranged for him to take Ming Mei's place.
But after an intense internal struggle, Kang Chen held back. He let the woman leave without letting her notice that he had realized she wasn't the real one.
Then, with a heartache so intense it felt almost suffocating, he forced himself to leave the detention center. Once outside, he could no longer hold himself up and collapsed with a thud.
