"Xiao Ge" came the words from Wu Xie's mouth and both Zhang Qiling and Fatty were shocked.

Wu Xie's cousin who was by his side, shook him twice to gain his attention back.

"Wu Xie, what did you? Xiao Ge? Who is Xiao Ge? What happened to you? And why are you crying?" Xie Yu Chen asked his naive cousin.

Regaining his posture and conscious, Wu Xie touched his cheeks and eyes and was surprised to see them wet. He then looked at Xiao Hua who was looking at him confused and then the other two, who seemed shocked(?).

"Was I crying? Why? What happened? Why are you all looking at me like this?" Wu Xie asked and the two who were shocked now sighed.

"Just now, you called someone's name. Xiao Ge.. Who's he?" Xie Yu Chen asked and Wu Xie instantly looked at Zhang Qiling.

"Ah, I called Xiao Ge? I don't know, it just came out of my mouth and I felt this very unsettling feeling inside me. I felt hurt, in pain and...." he stopped and walked to Zhang Qiling who was now confused.

"I don't need a lawyer. I was at the shoot and I have an alibi. This, my cousin, Xie Yu Chen. He called me and informed me about the accident. I don't stay with my parents, I mean the Wu Family House. For last 4 months, I have been staying at the hotel as it's close to the shooting site." Wu Xie told him and gave the Hotel Card to Fatty who took it and immediately called the hotel.

After confirming he gave Zhang Qiling a nod, who looked back at Wu Xie. Then Fatty continued...

"Wu Xie, I know you're not involved. As naive as you are, I bet you have never even killed a chicken. Right now, we need to take advantage of this rumors which says, you were in bad terms with your family which led you to do this. But only a monster would try to kill his own parents. You're too good for it. We will show the people that we are taking you into custody. But you will straightaway go to your house." And Wu Xie looked at Xie Yu Chen.

"What do you mean go to my own house?" Wu Xie asked and looked annoyed.

"Wushanju" Fatty replied and both Wu Xie and Xie Yu Chen looked surprised plus shocked.

"We're detectives. It's no big deal to find out about these little things. Plus you are Master Wu Xie, the only grandson of Old Master Wu. It's a children's play." Fatty replied and it did make sense.

"Okay, so you have a plan? I mean, with so many people out, you can't possibly take him home." Xie Yu Chen asked this time.

"Master Hua, don't worry, you should know better how." Fatty said and Xiao Hua suddenly smiled.

"Cool, get it. Wu Xie, you stay here with Uncle and Aunty now. I will go home and bring whatever I need for you to get out from here. And he is right. Who will know better than me?" And Xiao Hua left after giving his brother a small hug.

"There are police outside and in the hospital, so you can stay here worry free. Nobody will disturb you. And if you need us, or if you feel there's any danger, give us a call. Here." Fatty assured Wu Xie and gave him his and Zhang Qiling's contact.

"Wu Xie," Zhang Qiling called his name and Wu Xie felt the same again.

Why is he affecting me so much? Why does him calling my name hurt me? Do I know him? Does he know me?

"Yes, tell me." He said but the questions were written on his face. His eyes screamed them loud and clear.

"Don't be afraid. I- We're here to help." Zhang Qiling was about to say that he is there for him but he corrected himself immediately.

And Wu Xie nodded in response.
