Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 400 - Surprise (5)

"Okay, can you just tell me what is going on?"

True to their words, Yunru's colleagues locked his wrists so that he wouldn't resist. They were close to taping his mouth shut, but Yunru finally acceded to his 'kidnap.'

His buddies shrugged. "Dude, you ask too many questions. Now one more question and remember that we have the tape with us."

His mouth twitched. The car moved, taking twists and turns, and by some point, Yunru lost which way they were actually going.

Then a while later, he finally got some clue as he heard the roaring sound of airplanes flying in the sky.

???

The car came to a stop and they took Yunru out. They walked a bit, and Yunru felt that they were going through some spacious area. The wind blew quite strongly, and now the sound of airplanes was clearer.

"Are we...on a runway?"

"Yeah shut it, smart cop."

"..."

Can I not even try deducing the place you are taking me to?

He climbed some stairs which he thought was definitely an airplane. Or maybe a private jet.

What is going on...

The jet flew to a height, and now he was in the air. Yunru joked. "Are you dumping me on some remote island?"

"Not a bad idea actually. But not today."

The jet flew with an incredible speed, and a while later, they finally landed.

"Can you now open my eyes?"

"No."

Damn it!

Next, they made him sit in a car and drove some distance. Yunru tried to calculate. The flight took nearly fifty minutes to reach their destination.

What places are an hour away from Beijing?

Zhouzhou? Shunyi? Fangshan?

But why here?

The car came to a halt, and one of his buddies said, "We are here."

"Finally! Now take off the band from my eyes-"

"No."

"..."

Next, Yunru felt he was going up the elevator. Before that, he heard the usual commotion of people working. He faintly heard a bell and someone he thought would be a receptionist talking to a customer

Is this a hotel?

Well...at least it's not a remote island…

His friends opened a door and dumped him in a room.

"Get him ready. And don't take the band off."

He had an urge to slap his friends. "Shut up!"

He heard the door close as they left the room. The man before him said, "Sir, please stand straight."

"What is happening?" He tried to gauge from the man's voice.

"You are changing."

"For what?"

"I am not at liberty to say that, Sir."

His mouth twitched. "Can you at least give me a hint?"

"No."

"Ahhh fine! Do what you want!"

"Thank you, Sir."

Then a few minutes later, he asked again, "Who is the mastermind behind all this?"

"I am not at liberty to say that, Sir."

Is your tape stuck in just one place!?

The man made him sit, and Yunru felt him applying something to his face.

"Hey, what are you doing to my face?"

"Makeup."

"...."

"M-Makeup?"

"Yes, Sir."

"Why?" He was speechless.

"I am not at liberty to say that, Sir."

Yunru gritted his teeth and now seriously felt like punching this man too. Everything made him too curious, but he wasn't getting any answers.

Finally, Yunru was ready. Once again, his friends came to 'escort him.'

"If you don't open your mouth in thirty seconds, then trust me, I know how to get answers," Yunru coldly said.

He was already frustrated that Zizi didn't know about his birthday and moreover, she met Feng Xiao even today! His heart held a lot of grievances.

They laughed. "Chill dude. We are here."

They stopped, and so did he. One of them untied the band around his eyes. Yunru breathed in relief.

Thank God!

He immediately opened his eyes, but it was all dark and silent. His gaze traveled everywhere, but it was pitch black.

Suddenly, light shone in him from above. He instinctively shut his eyes because of the glare.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SOO YUNRUUUUU!!!"

Crackers popped and balloons burst in excitement. He opened his eyes and was stunned to see the crowd and place before him.

This…

Isn't this the same hall where the National Conference for Peace and Protection was held? Why am I here?

Wait...am I in Shanghai!?

He saw the familiar faces of Xu Hui, Sun Zihao and Bai Guiren that handled different regions within China. Then he saw Yin Liu too, who was the head of China's Intelligence Services.

"You all…"

The rest of the faces were awfully familiar too. They were cops from all over the country.

Yunru looked down and saw himself all dressed up in an expensive set of clothes with fancy shoes.

What was most shocking was that he spotted Soo Enlai in the crowd too. His expression was of pure shock.

Dad?

Soo Enlai eagerly waved his hand, laughing. "Yunru! Yunru! Your father is here! I am here! Can you see me?"

I can see you just fine…

Everybody was cheering and roaring in excitement.

"What is going on?"

"What else do you think?"

Feng Xiao grinned and came up on the stage. Yunru immediately turned frosty. His eyes shot death beams at him.

You! The cause of all my misery! How dare you show your face to me!?

But wait a minute…

Wasn't Princess with him today? And he is here. So where is Princess?

Yunru tried his best to sound polite even though he was cursing him to no end. "Feng Xiao…"

"Hahaha! How do you like your birthday surprise?"

He widened his eyes. "Birthday surprise?"

Everybody was giggling at him.

"Of course! And guess who planned everything?"

He blankly stared at her. Too many questions were swirling in his mind. But his heart skipped a beat as Feng Xiao asked that question.

Who planned…

"Princess…?"

Everybody whistled.

"Oh God! He is so cute. He called her Princess."

"What an endearing nickname!"

Yunru coughed.

As if his heart had stopped beating, he found his answer slowly walking towards him. His breath got stuck in his throat.

Donned in a beautiful crimson knee length dress that fluttered along the wind, Zizi came forward, carrying a bouquet in her hands.. With delicate steps, she walked towards the stage and stood in front of him.
