It was a normal night, and the weather was great. I was on my way home from high school, when I saw someone. He looked so terrifying that I wasn't even sure if it was an object or a human.

I lived alone in a small house in a deserted area of Hong Kong, and I am twenty years old. Once I saw that man, I am quite certain that my heart started beating two hundred beats per minute. I ran for my life, when that person took a step towards me.

Once I got home, I ran to my bedroom, and then suddenly... Everything darkened and I collapsed.

When I woke up, there were white walls surrounding me. I was lying on a white bed. There was a man, leaning against the wall, in a corner of the room. He was the very man that I saw the previous night. The man didn't seem that frightening after all. He was tall and well-built. He was fully clad in black and his teeth clenched onto a twig from a mango tree. The man looked towards me, and I noticed something else. The man was wearing black sunglasses. "He's blind," I thought.

"Am I dead?" I asked the man.

"I'm Li Wei. I know that you are Zhang Xin and that you ran and collapsed once you saw me last night. Also, child... You are not dead. I brought you to the hospital," Li Wei replied. "How do you know where I live?" I questioned again, still in shock.

"I have been trailing after you for some time now," Li Wei answered, holding out the Black bag that was in his possession, "You are the boy I'm looking for. In this bag, is a sum of two million renminbi. I will give you the other two million when we return from the expedition that I want you to accompany me in. You understand? Take it as I am a good kidnapper who has only kidnapped you to go on a journey with me, eh?"

"Expedition with you?" I stuttered, "But... Aren't you blind?"

"Blind?" Li Wei laughed.
 
"You... You are not blind then?" I started trembling.

"Half blind. I can see in the night without these sunglasses and I can see during the day with these sunglasses. And, young boy, would I have located and taken you out of your house, all the way to the hospital if I was blind?"

I shook my head rapidly, "No Sir. B- but I never did agree to go anywhere with you."

"I have already given you my name and you have agreed to go with me on my expedition. Why do you talk with such formality?" Li Wei grinned.

I gulped. Li Wei walked towards my bed. I was seated, leaning against the bed arm. Li Wei placed his right hand on my left shoulder and then placed his left hand on the part of the bed arm that was on my right.

"Boy. I have offered you money, and you have no way out. Your parents have died, you earn money for your education by selling homemade cookies and anyway, you barely pass your tests. The expedition that I am going to take you in is going to shape your future. You also earned two million already. What could be better?"

"I have school tomorrow-

"Oh, just take a break. Your teacher won't mind you being absent for a week, right? Although it might take a bit more than that... It doesn’t matter. Pack your necessities and meet me tomorrow at the park's rear entrance," and with that, Li Wei walked out of the hospital room, leaving me in a daze and utter despair.

"He said he was tracking me. However, he...
