A young man in a white printed t-shirt and black jeans was driving his BMW down a busy city street.

He had short slick black hair and fair skin, and he was quite attractive. He smiled as he looked at the tall skyscrapers on either side of the road.

Today was the day his dream came true; he became the company's youngest CEO.

Despite the fact that his father owned several businesses, he began his career at the bottom of a low-performing company.

Many people may be envious of his good luck. But few knew about his struggle and hard work to turn that company into one of the best in the country.

He was still in his late twenties, but he was tipped to be the next heir to the Chi business empire.

"Chi Han, when are you coming? I've been waiting for you for over an hour. Did you forget about our date?" The speaker's voice was slightly angry.

"No way, how could I have forgotten about our date? It's just that I was stuck in an emergency meeting." Chi Han shook his head slightly, his gaze shifting to a box of rings on the passenger seat.

He was completely honest. Today was the meeting at which he was named CEO of the company. In a short time, the news will be broadcast on all of the news channels.

And today was the day he was going to propose to his childhood friend and girlfriend for two years, Su Xian.

"It's always about your meetings. If you don't come in fifteen minutes, I am breaking up with you." the call was cut off.

Chi Han shivered slightly and shifted his gaze forward to see the road clogged with cars and trucks.

Somehow he felt guilty towards Su Xian. Because of the work, from time to time he neglected Su Xian, but she still stood up to him and he didn't want to make her wait on such an important day.

His legs pressed the accelerator, and his car sped past many other vehicles on the road.

While his attention was focused on the road, he was startled by a sudden phone ring, and his gaze subconsciously shifted to his phone, which was lying on the passenger seat.

He had no idea that when his attention was drawn to his phone, the traffic light at the intersection turned red.

Chi Han's brow furrowed when he saw the caller's id on the phone screen.

"Why is he calling me?"

But then his heart skipped a beat, his body jerked, and an immense pain spread throughout his body, the entire world spun off in front of his eyes, and gradually darkness surrounded his consciousness.

The last thing he remembered was a loud bang filling his ears.

.........

In an unknown place.

The gurgle of the stream, along with the chirping of insects and the calling of cicadas, filled the silent forest. The strange sounds of birds occasionally disturb the peaceful woods.

A burly figure carrying a log of wood on his shoulders stood in front of a dilapidated hut, his entire body covered in animal skin and his face covered in a thick grey beard.

His eyes were filled with vicissitudes and nostalgia as he scanned the surrounding forest.

A chuckle escaped his lips, and he shook his head as he threw the log on the ground and pushed the hut door open to find a young boy around 15-16 years old lying on the wretched bed.

The boy's entire body was covered in green slime, but underneath, there were numerous bruises on his body.

He had fair skin and black hair that covered his face, and he appeared malnourished.

The man's gaze was fixed on him when he suddenly arched his brows as he noticed the boy's eyelashes flutter and slowly open his eyes.

"You awake," the man asked in his raspy voice.

The boy struggled to move his head to look at the man; his eyes were lost, but there was a slight shock in them when he saw the man.

Meanwhile.

Chi Han, who had last remembered a loud bang before passing out, slowly opened his eyes.

But his body flinched as he felt stabbing pains all over his body. Even when he flinched, he almost cried out.

He was clearly aware that he had been in an accident, but instead of a hospital, he saw the roof of a dilapidated house.

His pupils dilated as only one thought ran over his mind, 'Where am I?'

But suddenly a raspy voice entered his ears.

"You're awake?"

'Someone is here?' Chi Han thought as he struggled to turn his head to look at the source of the voice.

But his heart skipped a beat when he saw an almost seven-foot middle-aged man covered in animal skin standing in front of him.

'What the fuck! Where am I?'
