"What? Missing? Oh my God!" Nala was shocked by the news.

Nick continued, "The government won't publish the news of her disappearance. Don't let Zhuang Lei say that either."

As a scholar and as a genius, Professor Ryuren was close friend of many powerful and influential people all around the world. Just like the Royal Family of Saudi Arabia, he had many pollical backings too. If he or his family's misfortune leaked out, it would be a disaster. They would try to find out everything and Zhuan Zhen and her son Jonah would be exposed. The opponent was unknown and powerful too. Who would know was going to finish them off? Moreover, if the enemy was too powerful, many others would back down immediately while thinking of their own selfish needs. In that case, nothing would help Zhuan Zhen and Jonah if their matter was exposed.

Nala agreed. "Yes, boss. I will talk to the lawyer immediately. Anything else?"

"No." Nick hung up. He hung his head. He didn't know how to disclose Hua Lan's disappearance in front of Zhuan Zhen.

Hua Lan slowly opened her eyes. She constricted her eyes as the lights glared at her. She tried to cover here eyes but realized that her hands were tied. Remembering what happened before she fainted, she forced herself to open her eyes. As a result, her eyes watered up. She silently blinked the tears away.

She heard some noises. After adjusting her eyesight, she looked around and found out that she was in a hospital room. But it had more things than a hospital room had. There were lots of monitors, trays full of equipment, bottles filled with medicine, tubes filled with colorful liquids, most horrifying thing was, there were three women and two men in the room, they were wearing white clothes and their faces were covered with white masks, and they put some syringes in Hua Lan's body.

"Subject HL21051999 is awake." A woman said. Her tone sounded cold.

Others who were working, stopped whatever they were doing and glanced at her. They came forwards one by one. They began to observe her every move.

"She looks confused. She is not scared. Very interesting."

"Her eyes are steady. She is focused."

"A five years old girl should be crying seeing unknown people and unknown place."

"There are tears. Must be because of the lights."

"She is curious and thinking who are we and what we are going to do."

"Oh, you read her mind. Now she is panicking."

"Will she cry?"

"Let's observe a little more."

One of the women was noting down everything in the laptop.

"She is struggling. She wants to free herself."

"She doesn't like being tied."

"This is different. She isn't an obedient type. She loves freedom."

"It will be awesome making her tame."

"Her skin is flawless. Because of her struggling, her wrists are getting red."

The eldest one said, "So, she will rather hurt herself than staying in the cage… hmm… interesting…. She was strong will…. Look at her. Even though she has eaten nothing in three days, she still has strength to fight. I like her. We will use her body. Proceed with the examination."

Everyone began to hurry. They became busy as the elder one was instructing them what to do.

One of them said excitedly, "Her body is healthy. She doesn't easily catch disease. We got a good product this time. I hope that she won't fail us."

They all acted as though they were going to experiment a guinea pig. Just like a rat squirm under the operation light, Hua Lan, the five years old girl was doing the same thing. Their hearts neither flinched, not did feel pity for the girl.

Hua Lan spoke up, "Who are you? Let me go?" Since she didn't eat or drink anything in three days, her throat was dry and her tone was hoarse.

The oldest one came forward with a bottle of water. He changed the position of the steel bed and made her sit. He moved the bottle in front of her and let her drink.

After drinking the whole bottle of water, Hua Lan said, "Untie me."

The oldest man chuckled and said, "Do you really think everything goes according to what you say. From now on do what we say or we will hurt you."

He threatened her with a meaningful smile which gave her chills. She shivered and pleaded, "Please let me go. I want to go home." Her voice cracked as she began to cry silently.

No one heeded to her cry and plead, as if she didn't exist. They gave her food to eat, but she refused. They thought after a few hours, she would cry for food. But she didn't. She even stopped crying knowing that these bad people wouldn't let her go.

"Papa…. I'm waiting…. Papa…. You promised that you would save me…. Papa….. you said that if I follow your instruction, I wouldn't suffer… Papa….." Her silent cry couldn't be heard by anyone.

Three days later, she already lost all her strength and fainted. She was given nutrition and medicine to keep going. When she woke up, she was forced to eat. After that, she was given medicine to keep up with her strength. Everyday, they took six tubes of blood from her body and it made her vulnerable.

After a month, she gradually got used to the lifestyle in the prison laboratory. There were plenty of children being experimented, but since she was a special child, she was kept alone in a room and being observed every day. Even if she was changing dress, going to washroom or bathing, they were observing her through the surveillance cameras.

At this point, she still believed that her father would come and save her.

Two months later, her health improved because of the medicines and nutrition. Since then, they began to give her academic skills; by using computer, they taught her languages of different countries.
