The dark sky that covered Imperial slowly turned brighter as the sun began to rise from the horizon. Due to its early calling, most of the people in Imperial still slept soundly since their alarms had not alert them to start their day.
However, this time at Imperial Airport, the once empty place is already crowded with a certain amount of people. Some leaving to go travel out while others are just now entering.
Amongst a crowd sitting in the waiting area, a man is clothed in a brown trench coat. He wore dark sunglasses and a mask that hides his facial appearance.
He held a newspaper like he was reading the latest news, but he would often glance from behind his sunglasses to check his surroundings.
"Sir, are you alright?"
Sitting one seat away from the man, a woman asks as she held her daughter in her arms.
They were waiting for her husband to finish checking them in so they can go through security check. However, she noticed that this man had been here since they arrived at the airport.
Thinking that something must be wrong since he kept looking up, she couldn't help but ask.
The man did not look at the woman nor did he answers her question. He kept his eyes on the passing crowd before rising from his seat and walks away. He did not take the newspaper but leaves it behind.
Given the cold shoulder, the woman furrow her brows in confusion with a slight feeling of suspicion. However, quickly brushing it off, her attention returns to her daughter.
As the man walks away in the direction of the security point to board the planes, he made sure that there were people blocking every side of him.
Confirming that he was not being followed, he sighs in relief.
There were five people in from of him until it was his turn to go through security check. Once he passes, he will be long gone from Imperial and away from Lu Tian and Fate.
As one person after another moved forward, his eyes lit up from behind his sunglasses.
It was only a matter of time before it was his turn.
"Ugh."
Just as he was about to take a step forward, the person behind suddenly bumps into him.
Born with a short temper, blood boils inside him. He was already moving in pace with the line, how dare this person push him.
"What is your problem?"
He lowly growls as he turns to face the man. It wasn't just anger but annoyance that rushed inside him. He was in a good mood, but this bastard of a person ruined it for him.
When his eyes met the person, he snorts a scoff.
It was a man slightly taller than him by half a head. He was wearing a black suit and had neatly comb hair slightly brush to the side.
From his appearance, he looks like a businessman with good looks.
Eyeing the unknown person from head to toe, the man clicks his tongue. He thought it was someone looking for a fight but turns out it was a good for nothing bastard.
"Tsk. Watch who you push, or I'll kill you."
Spitting out words of threat to scare the person, the man turns around as it was nearing his turn. However, just as he turned, this unknown person spoke.
"Where are you going, Chu Li Xiang?"
"…"
That's right. This man in such suspicious attire is none other than Chu Li Xiang.
When he heard his name suddenly called, all the hair on his body stood on ends as he froze in place. His pupils shook from behind his sunglasses before he sounds a sarcastic chuckle.
"Chu Li Xiang? What Chu Li Xiang?"
He curse inside but force out his words as naturally as he could. However, once his last word fell, he turns to the side and push the man as he makes a run for it.
The man was not affected by the sudden push at all. He doesn't give chase but stares at the man running for his life.
["Wah, Liu Shan, why did you have to scare him?"]
Xu Long's faint voice sounds from the earpiece Liu Shan wore. He lifts his hand and he press the button on his earpiece.
"He's headed towards the east side."
["Got it."]
This time, it wasn't Xu Long who spoke, but Lin Hui. However, following his words was a sinister laugh like a evildoer up to no good.
Liu Shan leisure steps out of the crowded line when he notices the security guard giving him a confused and suspicious look.
He smiles to the man and points in the direction Chu Li Xiang had run.

"My uncle's brain isn't working well. He forgot that his flight isn't today."
Oblivious to the people after him, Chu Li Xiang ran as fast as his legs could go. He ran through the crowd in the airport without a care for the people he had bump into.
If anyone got in his way, he would shove them and carry on in his attempt to escape.
He doesn't know who the man he encountered was, but since he (Liu Shan) knew his name, it can only mean his cover was blown.
Just as he reach the airport exit, he slows down in his steps. There were many people outside and he could not differentiate who is actually regular passerby and who is foe.
If he suddenly rushes out there, there is a good chance he will be quickly captured.
"Fuck…"
He curse under his breath before thinking of a new plan. Turning from the airport exit, he runs for the parking garage. Once he is down there, he can hide between the cars and slowly escape.
Running towards the escalator, he aims for the one going down to the garage parking.
He felt relief wash over him as he was one step away from this hell hole.
Just as he was three steps away from the escalator, a figure in a black motor jacket steps out from behind a pillar.
This figure's head was slightly shaking, and he was clasping his palms together in a mocking way.
"Aiya, Chu Li Xiang, ah Chu Li Xiang. Where are you going?"
Caught off guard, Chu Li Xiang stumbles back and falls onto the ground. His sunglasses also fell to reveal his eyes and one can see how shocked and terrified he is.
"Fuck!"
His face pale as white as a ghost, but he quickly picks himself up off the ground and makes a run for another escalator.
Since he can't go down, his only option left is to go up then make his way down to the parking garage.
Shoving the people aside, he climbs up the stairs without any intentions of stopping.
Lin Hui's eyes follows the man as he runs up the escalator. He touch his earpiece and chuckles.
"Xu Long, he's headed your way."
As Chu Li Xiang reached the second floor, he felt another wave of fear wash over him.
Xu Long stood near the top of the escalators with his arms folded over his chest. When he saw Chu Li Xiang's panicky figure appear, he grins at the man and unfolded on arm to wave hi.
"Well… hello there, Mr. Scaredy Cat."
Chu Li Xiang sounds a curse inside and without stopping, he pushes Xu Long out of the way.
He doesn't know how he offended Fate, but seeing that Xu Long is here, there's a possibility that Lu Tian is also here somewhere.
Watching the man run as like his life depended on it, Xu Long shook his head in shame for him. Then again, seeing how terrified he (Chu Li Xiang) is, he (Xu Long) actually doesn't feel so bad.
As Chu Li Xiang's figure continue to make a run for his life, Liu Shan and Lin Hui leisurely rode the escalator up to meet Xu Long.
"Well, it seems he won't be going anywhere."
Lin Hui's voice sounds as he and Liu Shan joins the assistant. The moment Chu Li Xiang appeared in front of him, he wanted so badly to rip the man into pieces.
However, he could only hold himself back, since it is his boss and Lu Tian who should be given the honor to do so.
Standing in the middle, Liu Shan's eyes did not move away from Chu Li Xiang's figure running in the distance.
He lifts his hand to the earpiece and spoke calmly spoke into it.
"He's heading towards the parking garage. Remember, do not capture him, but make sure he doesn't leave Imperial."
["Roger."]
From the three men's earpieces, multiple voices sounds all in one time.
Liu Shan, Lin Hui and Xu Long had been keeping eyes on every CCTV in Imperial for the man.
Surprisingly, he did not make an appearance until now and from the looks of it, Steelhead must have informed him that Fate is also looking for him.
Luckily for him, they could have easily capture him right now, but Yue Ling and Lu Tian ordered them to only make sure he doesn't leave Imperial.
After all, they still have plans for him.
Returning from his thoughts, Liu Shan slowly looks away when he sees Chu Li Xiang enter the door for the emergency staircases.
"Let's go."
