Part II

Lijuan... Don't leave me…. Please don't go… You promised...

Hong splashed ice cold water onto Jin, and instinct brought him crashing back to consciousness.

"LIJUAN!!!" he bounced to his feet, eyes searching everywhere for her. Everything was the same, the faces were the same, but his girlfriend was nowhere in sight.

Before he could move, Lijuan's father grabbed him, his face red with rage. Cameras flashed, and the paparazzi drew close to get a close look at what was unfolding before them.

"Get them out of here!" Mr Qin commanded, and the security team ushered them out.

"Please let me go... Lijuan… I want to see her... I don't want her to leave me," Wu begged.
