Unexpected Encounter:They Were Meant To Be Together

"Very bad Elder sister, very very bad," dragging his metal rod on the floor, Farak slowly made his way towards Ben and Clara.

Tightening her grip on Ben's shirt, Clara buried her face on his chest. Her shoulders were shaking and her body was shivering. Ben's heart ached seeing her like this, so scared and vulnerable. His soul shivered when he thought about all the sufferings and pain she had been through alone.

Kissing the top of her head, Ben whispered, "Don't worry babe, I am right here with you."

"You are Li Jin, my would be brother-in-law." Grinning from ear to ear, Farak added, "I was hiding behind the pillar when you entered the house. I wanted to follow you behind but then I thought that I should make sure whether you fulfilled your promise or not." Dragging the metal chair, he sat down and added, "But I am happy that you did. I was wondering if you would bring someone with you but you are wise enough not to do it."

Taking out the keys from his pocket, he gave it to Ben. "Here, you can unlock elder sister now."

Taking the keys from his hand, Ben quickly unlocked the lock and tossed the chain aside. Pulling her into his embrace, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Everything is okay now, calm down."

Burying her face on his neck, Clara slowly nodded her head.

Just then Farak frowned and started crawling towards Ben and Clara. Stopping right in front of Clara's bleeding foot, he took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket and started wiping her wound, making her hiss in pain and curl her toes.

Ben frowned and snapped, "What are you doing? Don't touch her." before kicking him away from Clara.

Farak groaned when his back hit the metal pipe Clara was chained up in. He then started laughing out loud and helplessly shook his head. "Li Jin is the first man who kicked me."

Forcing himself up, Farak started dusting his clothes. "My parents never kicked me and my elder sister never kicked me too but you did, but it's fine as long as you keep my elder sister happy."

Bending down, he picked up the rod and dragged his chair near Ben. "You are a little late though, elder sister already suffered a lot because of you." Scrunching his face, he looked at Ben with teary eyes and added, "I didn't want to harm her but she wouldn't listen to me when I told her to call you here. S-she kept refusing and it was ANNOYING—"

"Farak let Ben leave, don't arm him. I'll give you whatever you want." Clara said in a very low voice. Her condition was getting worse and she was continuously bleeding but she was still thinking about Ben and his safety.

Pulling her closer, Ben said, "Sshh don't talk honey, I'll take you to the hospital."

"But my debt is very huge and you aren't that rich elder sister. So only Li Jin can pay off my debt."

"Listen Farak, I'll pay all your debts okay? I'll do whatever you want but first let me take Clara to the hospital okay? She is injured and bleeding a lot." Ben calmed himself down and tried to be as sweet and nice as possible with Farak. He already knew about Farak's mental problem and he wasn't someone hard to deal with but he still had to be careful because Clara was also present and she was injured too. Ben didn't want to do something stupid.

"No you can't leave," Farak shouted. "We have to kill brother-in-law when he arrives. If we don't kill him, how will you marry my elder sister and become my new brother-in-law?"

"Look, we will figure out a way okay? Let me take her to the hospital for now."

Gritting his teeth, Farak shouted, "No you can't leave until brother-in-law arrives." He then attacked Ben with his metal rod, aiming his head.

Ben, who was fast enough to analyze his attack, grabbed the rod and pushed him away. Throwing the rod in a corner, he scooped Clara in his arms and made his way towards Farak who was lying on the floor groaning his pain. Kicking him multiple times on his chest and stomach, he carried her out of the bas.e.m.e.nt.

…..

Hall.

"Ben," she called him out in every low voice.

"Yes honey, I am right here."

"Li Jin," Farak shouted, making Ben halt his steps.

Turning around when he saw Farak standing not too far away pointing a gun at them, Ben sighed and helplessly shook his head.

Coughing and limping his way towards them, Farak chuckled, "You can't leave without my permission." Pulling the trigger, he was about to fire a shot when he suddenly groaned in pain and crashed on the ground holding his bleeding left thigh.

Yinhai helplessly shook his head and chuckled, "What a weakling psychopath."

"Yinha? I thought it was Liang who was supposed to inspect the hall." Ben asked.

"Yes but I took over because I had a feeling that this mental man would definitely do something as silly as this." Walking towards Farak, Yinhai added, "Brother Sam and that Philip guy is waiting in the car for you."

Without wasting any more time, Ben rushed out of the farmhouse along with Clara.

….

Hospital.

By the time they arrived at the hospital, Clara was already unconscious and was rushed to the emergency room.

Just then Rose, Quin, Ming and Singtan arrived followed by Becca, Yumi, Qiang and Huiling.

"How is she?" Quin asked Sam.

"They just took her in."

Ben was pacing back and forth in front of the emergency room while Philip silently stood in a corner.

"Where is Zian and the rest?" Singtan asked.

"We informed the police so they are waiting for them there." Sam answered.

Just then Yinhai and Ashton arrived. When Qiang did not see Guang, she frowned.

As soon as they approached them, Qiang and Huiling snapped at the same time.

"Where is Guang?"

"Where is Huang?"
