Somewhere within Zhong Hai City, a building with paint of green and blue on its wall constructed right at the sidewalk of the main road of the street.

The sun was on halfway toward the west, and people were going inside and outside that building.

A woman, wearing an office suit, was ambling among the crowd of the people, with a black purse on her right shoulder and brandy watch on her left wrist, she made her way toward the inside of the building which had the unique scent of medicine.

*Thud*

The woman was looking at her phone when her slender shoulder clashed against someone from the opposite direction, she was pushed slightly and tilted her body, the iPhone on her hand almost fell on the process.

"Hey, look at where you going!" the woman protested despite she could also take the blame since she hardly pays attention to her front.

She turned around to scold the person only to see the culprit had strode far from the distance she was expected, it was if hitting her had no matter to the person.

"Hmph, people these days..." the woman snorted as she decided to drop the case and continued her purpose of coming here.

Her monthly stint had been spent on buying the new Prada high-heel shoes, and not long after, they had released a new model of perfume, she must ask for more money from her lover.

This was her first time coming here albeit her lover had been hospitalized about a week, well it couldn't be helped since she's also busy and someone else needed her attention.

"4th floor, Royal Section, Room number 4..." the woman said as she looked at her phone.

She minced her steps toward the elevator and pressed the intended button as soon as she entered it, there were a couple of people that also went inside the small box, this was the elevator specialized for people only.

The woman stood at the left corner, she fished out her makeup tools and started fixing her own look in the front of a small mirror in it, as she brushed her bang, she noticed a small package right at the right corner of the elevator.

Thinking that probably just some stuff people accidentally dropped, she ignored the package and continued arranging her facial look.

The people with her had been lessened one by one along with the raising elevation, now there was only her, and she was on her way toward the 4th room.

Her lover had been impatiently wanting to see her, therefore she must give him the best appearance he would never dream to see.

That way she could extorting him easier if he was completely enchanted.

Craftily smiling while slightly drooling at the thought of grasping that new perfume soon, the woman ambled out from the elevator as its gate slid open.

But at this moment...

*Bang!*

The entire elevator exploded in the instant, crumbling the wall around its vicinity and burned one four of the 4th-floor area. The fire spread fast, it was infected the rest of the area on the floor and soon it descended to the poor floors below it.

That woman in the official suit's clothes had disappeared into ashes, her beauty was swallowed completely by the fierceness of the blazing flame.

"The news said that the burning building was a bombing case, it had taken more than fifty lives and caused injuries to hundred people, the police had caught the culprit in his house three days later, and he was sentenced to be imprisoned for a lifetime," Lin Ruoxi said while tapping on her elbow,"but not over a week, he already committed suicide by cutting his own wrist."

"Thus, isn't the case already concluded? Also why this has anything to do with Chengsi Company?" Mo Qianni said.

Lin Ruoxi turned her swan-like graceful body, the double breast hoisted up by the pressure from her hugging arms, "Because the last words he left behind before he killed himself, 'I will never forget this...',"

The ice-cold CEO walked toward her desk and opened her mini laptop, she tapped on the keyboard for a while then slid the laptop 90 degree, facing at Mo Qianni's direction.

The cute PR's Department Head approached the laptop then bent her body to look what was lay beyond the display.

"Ruoxi this is..." she widened her eyes, glanced at Lin Ruoxi doubtfully.

Lin Ruoxi nodded, "The Fire Hero, one of their programs with the most viewers."

"It first aired Five years ago, but for the last two years, the rating of this program was dropping significantly, the show told the experience of fire fighter, they also build the simulation to replicate the event, at first, it catches some viewer's eyes because of several firefighters, had interesting experiences, but after a while, the show became stagnate as it no longer showed any special experience, and the burning case's accident also had been few, for the next couple of month, the program started to show a declining popularity. What worse, the program began to tell fake experiences, this cause major dissatisfaction thus lessening the number of viewers till they are almost shut down this program because it no longer has any benefit."

Ruoxi sat on her desk, curling one long leg over her slender thigh, "But last year, that burning hospital's incident, because their television showed a live recording of how the firefighter extinguished and cooled down the incident, their rating immediately spiked up, even surpassed their previous achievement."

"Oh yes, I heard about this, the program showed a personage of firefighter did dramatic rescue in the incident, there is this pair of mother and her baby which was trapped in one of the room, the flame at that time already surrounding them, the smock was very thick, their voice was unable to breach through the wall of fire, thus they were almost impossible to be rescued. But one firefighter personage who at that point of time, stumbled upon their location and braved himself to cross over the sea of fire, and luckily managed to save them," Mo Qianni put her finger on the red kissable lips.

"Yes, thanks to him, the mother and her baby were saved, he got a medallion for his bravery and the program's rating also went up in a big scale," Lin Ruoxi nodded.

"..." Mo Qianni stared at her, she hesitated slightly then said: "Ruoxi, you don't think that incident... have anything to do with this program, right?"

"Qianni, what do you think?" Ruoxi didn't reveal many expressions.

"It's a pure coincidence, well, not the bombing case, but the firefighter, the program, and the mother-baby two people, all of them told no indication of any fabrication."

"Sure, the arrival of firefighter on the scene half an hour after it happened it's coincidence, that personage stumbled on the scene where it was almost impossible to recover the lives of these two victims also a coincidence, the program sudden rising on rating also a pure coincidence," Lin Ruoxi said: "So yes, Qianni, I believe all of this also coincidence..."

"Alright, Ms. President CEO..." Mo Qianni sighed, "what do you want me to do? I remind you even if you have a suspicion, we are impossible to do anything about that, we have no relation with it whatsoever."

"Of course..." Lin Ruoxi nodded, "you relate with Mr. Ma, go to the fire fighter division building under the guise of a third rate newspaper company."

"Why I must go with him?" Mo Qianni's face became inconceivable, "You know his reputation within the company and how much I loathed him, what if he makes a move on me?"

Lin Ruoxi almost fell from the desk she occupied, truly this best friend of her has this much confidence in her beauty.

"Don't worry, he won't dare..." Lin Ruoxi bitterly smiled.

"Why?" Mo Qianni's wrinkled her eyebrows, "did he finally repent and had been converted into a priest?"

"Qianni, your imagination is too much..." Lin Ruoxi once again almost fell her curled bottom from the top of the deck.

"You told me what dirt you have on him," Mo Qianni relentlessly said.

"Enough, our time is not many, I also must go to that Chengsi," Lin Ruoxi stood from her chair and began to walk toward her bathroom.

"Oh, OK..." Mo Qianni begrudgingly said: "what should I do, after I inquiries about that incident?"

"Goes to the prison next!"

Lin Ruoxi lightly said but leaving an incomparable shock impression on the cutesy gal.

Zhong Hai city, west side.

One police car drove on one of the streets, there were two people sat on different position of the seat, one at the front, another was in the back.

"Really unbelievable," the figure on the back groaned, her face twisted in an ugly manner despite the beauty she possessed, "I get it pleasure can make you forget about time, does it also make you forget to answer an important call?"

"Chief, maybe Mr. Guo is truly busy,"the front person revealed a bit scared expression, he cursed his own bad luck for having a free time now, thus he must accompanied an annoyed tigress.

"What busy?! Hanging around in the casino since last night is busy?!" the green iris woman slammed her fist on the back seat cushion, her hand sink on the leather cover, showing the magnitude of her irritation had reached a whole new level.

Well, what do you expect from someone who hasn't sleep up to this hour, and still on recovery from broken rib at that?

"We are heading now, Chief, Seventh Clover is not that far..." the officer said.

"Hmph!" Cai Yan snorted, then she took out a pill case from her breast pocket and fed herself one pill before drunk mineral water from the small bottle.

"Chief, maybe you should calm down, you haven't-"

"Don't tell me what to do, you are not my mother!"

Well, fuck me...

The police car passed several blocks before it arrived on a sizeable building, the car blinked its left sign then slowly parked across the building.

Cai Yan took a deep breath before she pushed the door open, landing one foot on the roadside, she supported herself by holding the window frame then pulled her body out of the car. She turned her athlete body around and looked at the flashy building ahead with contempt look,

Any rich people hobby always made her felt disgusted, even golf, particularly golf.

"Chief, do you need a hand?" the officer said with worried, while secretly thought he might get to touch her one or two times.

"No need, you lead in front!" Cai Yan coldly said although she couldn't read her subordinate dirty intention but she's not in the mood for acting benevolent.

They both rapidly crossed the street, the front building had a clover made of neon stuck on the balcony of their front gate, it still lit with green lights despite the sky had turned very bright.

"Really waste of energy, no wonder this day electrical bill is getting expensive..." Cai Yan didn't let an opportunity to lash out an insult like this such go away, though no one listened.

The officer just pretended he heard her tantrum or it might get worse if she truly being ignored, she might get really upset, and oh boy, you don't wanna see her upset.

"Strange, why there is no guard around?" Cai Yan said after she had tired herself with the complaint, she looked to right and left of the building side but no one stood nearby.

Usually, a place like this had hunky and scary face people to guard the gate, mostly just to scare teenager or people with no money, sometimes a police too.

"Maybe they are close?" the officer said.

"Then why the neon around still lit?"

"Perhaps they forgot to turn it off?"

"Fool! If only one that still up, that is forgot, this is the whole neon, how come someone forgets to turn off the whole light on the building?!" Cai Yan's body flushed thoroughly red, perhaps it's best not to provoke her much further.

The officer quickly didn't dare to say anything, he strode forward and knocked on the door.

*Tap Tap Tap*

...

One minute passed...

Two...

Four...

After the officer had knocked about three times, even Cai Yan had used her delicate foot to stomp on the door, no one came out to greet them.

"Alright, that's it, I am going to eradicate this building, whether the person we are looking is inside or not, I don't care anymore, I am going to rip off their gambling permission!" Cai Yan took out her gun.

"Chief, wait, don't need to be rush, perhaps the people inside are busy..." the officer became panic.

He understood that not only the lack of sleep caused his beautiful chief to be very annoyed right now, the result of finger prints they found last night on the karaoke place also led them to nothing but unidentified identity.

All the work were for nothing and now, when they tried to contact the boss of those victims, Mr. Guo, he hadn't been answering their call, even this morning also.

When they contact Mr. Guo's company this morning, his secretary said Mr. Guo hadn't come to his office, when they contact his house in the morning, his wife told them he hadn't come come since last night.

That's why Cai Yan was truly upset.

"They can be busy all they want, but I am also busy, any kind of action that hinder police investigation is considered as an act against the law, proper punishment shall be delivered..." Cai Yan rose her gun, aimed at the front's gate handle, "and I am about to punish."

*Psiu* the golden like handle immediately had a hole on it, without waiting for more seconds, Cai Yan dashed toward the gate and pushed it abruptly.

Immediately, the scent of rotten meat...

The thick air of iron taste...

The dreadful atmosphere that as if coagulated the time...

The buzzed noise of many flies.

*Clack*

Cai Yan stopped her steps, the whole body froze in the spot, the wrathful expression she previously wore gone in the instant, replaced with confusion and, a bit fear.

The officer behind her also stopped, cold sweat now soaked him from top to bottom.

Right before them, was a man, hanging upside down from the ceiling, head bent to the side while two clear stabbings wound on his chest and stomach. His blood was already dry, but the puddle below his body had formed quite many.

By the looks of his attire, this person... is the bouncer, the one who supposedly guard the front door.

Cai Yan's breath became rapid, the memory from several days immediately resurfaced into her brain.

"C-chief, w-w-w..." the officer unable to form the complete words, not only he was incapable after what he just saw, but Cai Yan had absentmindedly walked pass the hanging dead.

"Chief, wait!" the officer tried to chase after her, but because his legs were lost power for a moment, he was lagged behind.

Cai Yan forced her way from the Casino's entrance, she raised her hand to open the door into the main hall.

Then her mind instantly blanks, before she swallowed by complete darkness.

The only last thing she remembered, she was seeing hell.
