Liu Yu Zeng stared at the woman walking away from him, worried. There was something off about her, and all of her men knew that. She hadn't had her period for the past two months, and they didn't know if they should be excited because she was pregnant or concerned that she was so stressed she stopped having her cycle.

It was also a delicate balance because they didn't know how to bring it up to her. If they told her that they thought she was pregnant, and after a while, her period came back, then she would be crushed. Not to mention, now was really not a good time for her to be expecting, seeing as she was going to enter the Reaver's camp any day now.

He also didn't want to think about her being in that much danger with a new life growing inside her. However, if there was one thing that he learned in his time, it was that there was no such thing as a 'perfect' time for something. You made the perfect time.

If you were looking for excuses, you would always be able to find some. The trick was to not even bother with the excuses and look to the positive of any situation. If she was pregnant, then there was no safer place for her to be other than beside her men. It didn't matter if they were back in their cabin in the mountains, on her ranch outside of City A, or in the middle of a Reaver camp. She would be safe.

"Are you even listening to me?" demanded a sharp voice, pulling Liu Yu Zeng out of his thoughts.

"Not really," he answered with a shrug. There was no point in dealing with cannon fodder. At some point in time, he was going to die, so Liu Yu Zeng might as well concentrate on the important things... like Li Dai Lu.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Should I?" sneered Disease, turning his attention to the man who so desperately seemed to want it. "Or is it just that you managed to forget your own name that you needed me to tell you?"

"Are you trying to start a fight with me? Because I am telling you, after you know who my father is, you will be shitting yourself in fear," sneered the man that was hiding on the rooftop instead of being involved in a fight.

"Sure," grunted Liu Yu Zeng, not even bothering to waste his breath. "You know who his father is?" he asked, turning to the guy who had followed him upstairs. According to him, Li Dia Lu had made him the new acting manager of the club, so he might as well prove himself useful.

"I do," answered the other man, nodding his head.

"You know where to find him?"

"I do."

"Perfect," answered Liu Yu Zeng, stretching his neck back and forth to try and relieve some of the tension that had been gathering for the last few months. "There are going to be three new guys appearing downstairs in the next few minutes. If his dad is someone with legitimate power, ask Liu Wei or Wang Chao to go with you to talk to him. If he is more part of the underbelly, get Liu Wei or Chen Zi Han to help."

"And if he is both?" asked the guy, no longer paying attention to the zombie food.

"If he is both, take Liu Wei. He has his feet planted firmly in both worlds," continued Liu Yu Zeng. He would have gone himself, but he was feeling extremely insecure, letting his woman out of his sight for any amount of time.

For the sake of his sanity and the health of anyone around him, it was best to keep him by her side. Or God help them.

"What should we do with him in the meantime?" asked the manager, looking at the man that was trying to disappear into the background.

"I found some cages in the basement. You can put him in one of them until his father pays up. If he doesn't, then at least he will already be in place for the zombies when they are hungry," shrugged Liu Yu Zeng.

Li Dai Lu had only been out of his eyesight for five minutes, and he was already starting to turn stabby. He could see the manager from the corner of his eye open his mouth, but Liu Yu Zeng was not in the mood. "You know what you are supposed to do. Deal with it yourself or find someone to deal with it. Either way, shut up and prove yourself."

The manager closed his mouth.nove(lb/1n

"Are you really going to let him talk to me like that?" asked the dead man talking.

"I really am," confirmed Mao Jing, nodding his head. "Now, let's go down into the basement and wait for your father's response."

"You will be sorry. Dad will pay whatever ransom you demand and then raze this place to the ground to get his money back," sneered Gong Ling Xin, not at all fearful of the consequences.

"Somehow, I don't think your father's usual tactics will work this time. But I could be wrong," shrugged Mao Jing as he pushed the other man toward the stairs.

"In this, you are dead wrong," assured Gong Ling Xin. "Just you wait and see."

"That's fine. I have all the time in the world. You, on the other hand, are on borrowed time. I bet you didn't see this coming when you woke up this morning," mused Mao Jing, a smirk on his face as he thought about how the tables had turned. This man, whom he once considered one of his best friends, completely turned his back on him when his father disinherited him in favor of his younger half-brother.

"You and I both know you could do something to keep me alive," sneered the other man as he stomped down the stairs. "Don't pretend otherwise."

"Maybe, maybe not. But we will never know because I am not going to risk my life and this potential future for a piece of shit like you," responded Mao Jing with a smile.
