"Where are my parents? I want to see them!" Nina burst out crying while following Mushu to the living room.

"Sit down." Mushu motioned Nina to sit. Mushu's stoic face petrified Nina, and she rushed to sit on the sofa facing Mushu.

"Your brother has sent your parents to another city to keep them safe since you're too stubborn and won't listen to them. Master Chu Yan is afraid you might compromise their safety, so it is better to separate them from you.

From today, you will stay here with Butler James and choose to do nothing or do whatever you want. If you need anything, tell Butler James. If you decide to do something, inform him.

But remember, this is the first and last time I will save you. Keep yourself safe. You can't keep your phone from now on. If you need to call, ask Butler James to connect you." Mushu finished his speech and didn't wait for Nina to say anything. He stood up and left.

"Young Miss, you must be hungry. Come and have dinner." Butler James invited Nina to eat.

Nina suddenly remembered being famished and having not eaten all day. She nodded and followed Butler James to the dining hall.

Nina's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Xu, are staying at the guest house at the back of the castle's main house. Four Eyes arranged to teach Nina a lesson and told her their parents were away. Mr. and Mrs. Xu could see Nina through CCTV, which was made possible by Butler James, so they wouldn't worry and miss Nina much.

The elderly couple looked at Nina and were happy she was finally back and safe. They are very thankful to their son and Mushu for saving her.

"How could she end up being kidnapped?! She is so stupid!" Four Eyes said furiously. His sister is truly born to anger him.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I was too careless. I'm just glad that we were able to find and rescue Nina immediately." Ling Li apologized.

"How could it be your fault?! My sister is too ignorant! And she is even a thief!" Four Eyes is so mad. He is further infuriated upon knowing Nina was kidnapped and Mushu has to rescue her.

"Nina is young. She feels she is being controlled and becomes troubled and rebellious whenever you advise her. I already planned with Mushu how to set her up and teach her a lesson, but we never considered encountering these kidnappers." Ling Li explained.

Ling Li dialed her phone, "Mushu, have you found out who the kidnappers are?"

"Um, I see."

"Is Nina alright?"

"What about her friends?"

"That's good." Ling Li hung up the phone and looked at Four Eyes again, whose face looked crumpled.

"Look at you. Your face is crumpled. Your brows are already knitted together! Nina is back home, and she's alright." Ling Li informed Four Eyes.

"Who cares about her?!" Four Eyes responded angrily.

Ling Li tapped Four Eyes' forehead, "Eh, you're as stubborn as your sister. The kidnappers are newbies. They spotted Nina shopping daily, visiting these luxury shops with her friends, and staying in this luxurious hotel. These kidnappers also found out that your parents were staying at the Bayside Castle." Ling Li explained.

"Well, too bad Mushu is not too merciful. They are all dead." Ling Li announced, trying to cheer up Four Eyes but to no avail.

"How was your training today?" Ling Li inquired.

"Um."

"Um." Ling Li repeated his reply. "What does 'um' mean?"

Four Eyes looked at her, "You're not tired? What about several rounds?"

"I'm tired! I'm tired! Let's sleep! Good night!" Ling Li covered herself with the blanket and turned her back against Four Eyes. He chuckled and stretched his arms, pulling Ling Li towards him and putting her in his embrace.

The following day, during breakfast, Pharsa said, "Madam, there will be a battalion run on Sunday. You always love to join this run, so I thought I'd inform you about it."

"Really?" Ling Li was overjoyed upon hearing what Pharsa said. She indeed loves joining her subordinates in the forest. "Let's all join," she announces.

"But, Madam, our trainees aren't ready to run ten miles in full gears." Pharsa reminded her.

"Let them run carrying riffle only. I'm sure they can finish the ten miles with it." Ling Li stated. "They still have three days of training. Let them run the next three days with it 1-3-1. Then, do the drill for half the numbers with it as well. They'll be ready by then." Ling Li instructed.

1-3-1 means 1 mile, 3 miles, and 1 mile run alternately for three days.

The four gentlemen looked at Ling Li and Pharsa, not understanding what they were talking about; all they comprehended was that both were talking about them and what they would be doing during training. They could feel torture coming again soon.

"Mom, I remember something," Ren said excitedly, which got everyone's attention.

"What is it? Tell me."

"Brother said he has met Otako." Ren declared.

Ling Li almost choked on the food she was eating. Pharsa and Mushu as well.

"Shi Min honestly told you?" Ling Li wanted to confirm if she heard it correctly.

"Yes, Mom! Why can he meet Otako while we can't? Mom, you're so unfair!" Ren said, whining.

"How did your brother tell you he met Otako?" Ling Li seriously questioned Ren; she truly wanted to know.

"Mom, do you think that Shi Min would just tell me voluntarily? Of course, I have to make ways." Ren replied proudly.

"I know because I made him promise not to tell anyone, especially you." Ling Li spoke.

"Tell me, What did you do to make Shi Min break his promise?"

"That's a big secret!" Ren responded while she acted, zipping her lips.

"Then I have to punish your brother." Ling Li said while she was about to get her phone to call Shi Min.

"No! Mom! Don't call Shi Min! He will kill me!" Ren almost yelled in panic.

Lily, who was beside Ren, started laughing.

"Just tell Mom already." Lily blurted out.

"Lily, are you on this too?" Ling Li asked in a reprimanding voice.

"Oh, Not at all! I just so happened to be there when they were arguing about it. Big Brother was so pissed off! Ha ha ha ha!" Lily responded.
