At the hotel reception, George Green held Helen hostage.

'No body move,' George Green said. 'I'll shoot her if anyone moves. I'll let her go after I escape.'

'Even a blood thirsty tiger like you wouldn't want to kill your own flesh and blood,' William Reynold said.

'What do you mean flesh and blood?' Helen asked.

'He is your biological father,' William Reynold said.

Helen looked at Henry Charles.

'Dad... is it true?' Helen asked.

Henry Charles loved Helen's mother, and he loved Helen like his own daughter. He never wanted Helen to be hurt by the truth. George Green used his secret to blackmail him.

Helen closed her eyes. She didn't want to accept the truth. The man who raised and loved her for more than twenty years wasn't her biological father. But the man who was holding her hostage was her biological father. Fate played a cruel joke on her.

George Green pulled Helen toward the hotel reception door.

'Boss,' Huyen Di said.

Yue Gu Zai signalled for Huyen Di not to make a move.

Cheng Yi jumped from the second floor onto George Green, and gun shots were heard.

William Reynold spotted Zhen Zhen at the door first. He ran to her, and protected her from the bullets.

'No one move,' William Reynold said and pointed his gun at Zhen Zhen's head.

'Let my wife go,' Yue Gu Zai said.

'I only want your beautiful wife to help me escape,' William Reynold said.

Zhen Zhen recognised the man who was holding her hostage. William Reynold was the same Reynold who wanted to pursue her.

Reynold slowly backed out of the hotel reception with Zhen Zhen to his car. He forced her to drive while he pointed his gun to her head.

'You lied about my parents wanting me to go on a blind date with you,' Zhen Zhen said.

'You're a smart woman,' Reynold said.

'There is nowhere for you to hide,' Zhen Zhen said.

'Who said I want to hide?' Reynold asked.

Zhen Zhen noticed Reynold's hand on his stomach was bleeding.

'You were shot,' Zhen Zhen said. 'I'll take you to the hospital.'

'No need,' Reynold said. 'It's too late.'

Zhen Zhen stopped the car.

'Why did you protect me and get yourself shot?' Zhen Zhen asked.

'Don't cry,' Reynold said. 'If you cry, other people will think I'm mistreating you.'

Zhen Zhen didn't stop crying.

'The first time I met you, I thought you're an interesting woman,' Reynold said. 'But you only focused on eating. I don't know when I fell in love with you. The last time I saw you was at the party. You purposely stepped on my feet.'

'I'm sorry,' Zhen Zhen said.

Zhen Zhen helped Reynold put pressure on his stomach.

'I only wanted to be with you one last time,' Reynold said. 'Your husband will be here soon.'

'Don't talk anymore,' Zhen Zhen said. 'I'll take you back. Bai Yu Tian is a good surgeon, he'll save you.'

Zhen Zhen didn't want anyone to die because they saved her life.

'I heard the leader of Ni Sheng is a good man,' Reynold said. 'You're blessed to have a good husband. You and your husband will live a happy life together.'

'Reynold...' Zhen Zhen said.

'I'm happy you remember my name,' Reynold said. 'I hope you'll remember my name forever.'

'I promise I won't forget your name,' Zhen Zhen said.

Reynold lightly kissed Zhen Zhen's lips while she was distracted.

'I'm sorry I'm greedy,' Reynold said. 'I don't want you to forget me.'

Reynold hands were limp and he closed his eyes for the last time.

'Reynold...' Zhen Zhen called. 'Wake up...'

Yue Gu Zai chased after Reynold's car. He stopped the car when he saw Zhen Zhen stood with vacant eyes outside Reynold's car. He immediately got out of the car and ran to her. There were blood stains on her hands.

'Zhen Zhen,' Yue Gu Zai called softly.

'Gu Zai...' Zhen Zhen called.

Zhen Zhen collapsed onto Yue Gu Zai's chest.

'Boss, William Reynold is dead,' Chu Gian said.

'I'll let you take care of him,' Yue Gu Zai said. 'I'm taking Zhen Zhen back to headquarters.'
