"You want to use my family to threaten me?" She felt like her voice was stuck in her throat.

"Yes." He admits frankly and knew that the words he had just spoke were cold and ruthless.

"Your family is my bargaining chip. Don't violate the rules of the game anymore, teacher He. Don't test my patience."

 After a while, she spoke up. "So if I'm obedient, you won't hurt my family?"

He chuckled and asked her: "Teacher He, haven't you realised that I am actually more trustworthy than you?"

She clenched her teeth and asked again.

 "When can this game end?"

"When I get bored with it." He answered and paused for a while.

Then he said, "Teacher He, your husband is calling you again."

Sure enough, there was a prompt for an incoming call which appeared on her mobile phone screen.

"Pick the call, Teacher He. I don't feel that our game needs to involve your family. What do you think?"

Then, he gave a reminder.

 "Also, please remember that my name is Fu Shenxing."

Her conversation with Liang Yuanze was very short. Liang Yuanze took some time out to call her in the training room. He was a little worried for her because she had not answered her phone for a long time. He Yan did not dare to say much, as she feared that she would be unable to stop herself from crying, or that someone was eavesdropping on their conversation.

Liang Yuanze was sensitive and aware of her strangeness.

He asked, "What's wrong? You sound a little down."

"Oh, I have a little cold." She answered in a dumb voice, and finally found an excuse to cover up."My nose is blocked and my tears keep flowing."

"Little idiot!" He laughed, feeling both sad and funny at the same. "I have only been away from home for a few days, and you have become like that."

He Yan burst into tears and murmured softly.

 "I miss you, Yuanze."

"I miss you too, Yanyan." He lowered his voice in response, and couldn't help but to laugh.

"Okay, don't say anything else already, we're about to start. I have to turn off my phone ."

Liang Yuanze hung up the phone, and He Yan was holding her phone in a daze. There was no call history with Fu ShenXing, and naturally, there was no audio recording of their conversation. This proved that he did something to her phone. While she was considering how to deal with it, she received another text message: "Don't change your phone, continue to use it."

He Yan felt like her mind was almost numb. She went to the bathroom to wash her face in the dark and dialled her parents only after her voice sounded better. The old couple had just returned to the hotel from their sightseeing and were excited to tell her anecdotes about their journey. She spoke very little and only listened quietly.

"Pay attention to safety." 

The next day, she went to school as if everything was back to normal. When it was almost noon, the boy she helped came to the office to find her. He asked carefully: "Teacher He, are you angry with me? You didn't answer my phone yesterday." She didn't answer but instead looked up at him. He Yan was wondering if whether he was paid by Fu Shenxing, or that he had been used by him.

The boy misunderstood her silence and explained in a low voice.

"I was waiting for you outside of'Zizitian' the night before, but afterwards I had something on so I left first. When I came back, I saw you driving away. I had called you twice, but perhaps you did not hear me."

Even though she had encountered such a bad situation, she was still willing to believe that there is kindness in this world. He Yan forced a smile out. "It's true that I didn't hear it. I'm fine. Thank you."

Life seemed to revert back to the calm and peace. Fu Shenxing was like a monster sneaking in the water, dragging her into the dark bottom of the water and after humiliating her, he disappeared without a trace.

Her parents who went out to play for more than a month finally returned to Nanzhao. When He Yan was eating with them,her mother mentioned a thrilling incident that they had encountered during the trip.

"Oh, Yanyan, you don't know what happened to us. It was during the time when you told us to pay attention to safety. On that day, we heard someone next door knocking on the wall in the middle of the night. Both my father and I were woken up by the knocks. Your father knocked back angrily twice, but there was no response. Guess what? The very next day, I heard that someone in the next room was killed, and there was a word "shen" written in blood on the wall. I was scared to death! I don't know if it was a person or a ghost who knocked on the wall before. It scared me and your dad, and we quickly moved to a new hotel!"

He Yan's face was white, and her hands were trembling so much that she couldn't even hold the chopsticks.
The evening before Liang Yuanze returned to China, He Yan received Fu Shenxing's call again. He said: "Teacher He, come and help me spend time with my guest tonight, the car is waiting for you outside the school."
