When Bai Luo Yin received such a huge attack from Gu Wei Ting yesterday, he did not even shed a single drop of tears. But just after hearing Bai Han Qi say those words a moment ago, a painful stabbing spread throughout his chest. Before long, a sweltering heat rose on his cheeks, followed by tears that he tried to force away. Unable to hold it in any longer, he suddenly choked with sobs.

"Dad, I know that what I'm doing is hurting you, but if I don't do this, it would be even more painful for me. Do you know what kind of torment Gu Hai is suffering through in there? His dad imprisoned him in an underground tunnel without letting him eat or drink anything. There's not even a blanket for him......"

"Alright." Bai Han Qi caressed the hair on Bai Luo Yin's head, "There's no need to say anymore. Dad understands it all. Just listen to what I say. You and Da Hai have to go as far as you can. Wait until the day Da Hai's dad figures things out and comes around, then the two of you can come back."

"How did you suddenly come up with this idea?"

"It wasn't sudden. I've already thought it through for several days now." Bai Han Qi tightly wrapped his hand around Bai Luo Yin's arm. "Dad's psychological endurance is poor. Actually, I can't watch you suffering like this."

Bai Luo Yin glanced at the overcoat draping off his shoulder before he turned his head around to look at Bai Han Qi. His eyes seemed to light up with realization as it lingered on his father's face.

"Dad, don't tell me you've come here every day for a quick glance at me?"

"A quick glance? I've been squatting here for several nights already. It's just that I never showed myself, that's all."

Just as Bai Luo Yin's tears were about to flow down once more, Bai Han Qi quickly spoke again to prevent him from doing so. "That's enough, that's enough. Dad was just teasing you for fun. If I really saw you suffering like this, do you think I'd let you stay here in the cold? I would've dragged you back home already."

Bai Luo Yin could faintly sense it. Bai Han Qi lied because he has always understood his son the best.

After what seems like ages, Bai Han Qi finally spoke again, "Think of a way to get Da Hai out of there. Then the two of you can leave here as soon as possible."

Hearing those words, spoken so firmly by his kind father, an overflowing sense of anxiety flooded Bai Luo Yin's mind, causing a thick layer of anxiousness to sprinkle across his pale face. "If I leave, then what will you do? What if he causes a disturbance at our house again? Even if he doesn't go, my mom will. Don't you already know what kind of person my mom is?"

"Don't worry," Bai Han Qi says as he patted Bai Luo Yin's back. "If you both really want to disappear, they won't be paying any attention to me. Please, they would be long gone treading across the world in search for the two of you. At most, they'll come to me looking for information. If my mood is good, perhaps I'll leak a bit of details. If not, I won't pay any goddamn attention to them ."

Bai Han Qi's remark did not dispel Bai Luo Yin's apprehensions at all, in fact it increased his sense of guilt instead.

"It won't be that easy to make them leave. Since you've already clarified your attitude toward this situation, they'll definitely regard you as our accomplice. The moment we leave, they'll definitely use every unethical means to make it difficult for you. Once we know of this, we would have to come back."
