Closer, he's coming closer. Liuxang, brace yourself, be calm and focused, use your reflexes, not your mind and deliver one good solid—

Wham! Liuxang's fist connected with Lang's jaw as Lang checked his wrist for a pulse.

"Sucker." Liuxang grinned triumphantly as Lang recoiled and fell with shock and surprise. Franziska's shock turned to raging fury when she realized Liuxang was playing dead. As a sign of achievement, he made a victory pose with his two fingers forming the universal sign for victory.

Kay sighed in relief. Good ol' Whitey proved too tough to die yet. Shi Long stared stupidly at Liuxang, still recovering from his shock while he rubbed his jaw. "Damn," Sola said," I sooo wanted to see Liuxang in a casket."

"Make that two of us," Franziska said through clenched teeth. Luna cheered, she knew Liuxang would live through almost anything.

"I'm disappointed in you, Agent Lang," Liuxang said turning to Shi Long," you should have checked me first before you declare Franziska a murderer, besides" – Liuxang ripped the cloth from his back – "I knew this would happen."

An ingenious contraption was strapped to Liuxang's back, a deflated inflatable cushion was hanging limply and rocked by the wind. Franziska bent her whip.

"Liuxang, what was this for? How dare you make Agent Lang think I murdered you?"

"I apologize, princess, but I did that to check if Agent Lang change, I am disappointed in him, he didn't meet my expectation." Specks, Liuxang's snake, climb up his master until he coiled himself on Liuxang's shoulder. Liuxang stroked Specks's head, making Franziska shudder. "Don't worry, I won't press charges and besides I came here to tell you something, in fact both Shi Long and I might be here to tell you the same thing."

Shi Long glared at Liuxang suspiciously. He knew that Liuxang knew the latest bit of news, where Liuxang acquired it, he didn't know, and he wasn't willing to tell his sources, which made Liuxang suspicious even though he was willing to help. What was the catch, Lang wondered, he had to make sure Liuxang wasn't dangerous. "And besides that news, Tyrell's out of jail," Liuxang concluded.

"What?" Shi Long exclaimed," he should have gotten eight years tops." Liuxang smiled, the Long's had quite deep connections, and with the Long's blood in him, not much politicians could say no to him. All Liuxang had to do was pull some strings, and those overfed politicians would do anything for him.

"You had something to do with it, didn't you, Long Liuxang?" Franziska demanded.

"Save it, Sis, Longs are usually politics, how Liuxang ever got to be a doctor is beyond me, instead of those government posts," Lang taunted. Liuxang smile grew bigger, now to drop the bomb on them.

"You know, Ernest Amano is dead, he was shot in the head by some thug who conned him."

Silence, as Shi Long and Franziska stared in shock at Liuxang. He bowed, mimicking Edgeworth. "And need I mention that good ol' Shells's body is stolen when it was sent to the morgue?"

Lang grabbed Liuxang's collar. "How did you know this?" he asked with gritted teeth, his voice dangerously low," you can't be Qilin's twin, you're nothing like him, he was just like Qilin. Who are you? Tell us the truth now!"

Liuxang suddenly looked at Lang in the eyes. Lang saw what was inside, Liuxang's eyes were dead, and Liuxang slapped away Liuxang's hand. "Fine, you want the truth?" Liuxang asked, his tone matching Shi Long's cold and dangerous," You can't handle the truth!"

Lang and Franziska stepped back, they were unprepared for Liuxang's outburst. "You saw my eyes, Shi Long, you know what it means."

"It doesn't tell us anything, Liuxang." Lang took a step neared to Liuxang.

"Huoniao and Qilin died in that fire, but each had different deaths, one mentally, one physically, therefore, I am only Long Liuxang, no one's sibling, I am just a ghost who wants to right a wrong that has spanned for years."

With that Liuxang turned back and walked slowly. "I have a plane to catch, because that day is near. Kay, Sola, and Luna, help those three, when they need assistance."

With that Liuxang slowly melted from view, as quietly as he had come. Miles woke up groggily.

"So, what'd I miss?" Miles asked groggily. Franziska glared at him.

"You FOOL!" And Miles fainted the third time that day.

"Where to now, Sir?" Liuxang's butler asked. He had just hired Walter in the early hours of morning.

"The airport now, Wally, I need to visit him soon," Liuxang replied.

"You didn't bring your clothes, Sire."

"Zhengfa is my home, I left my clothes there, besides, it's you who I'm worried about."

"I beg your pardon, Sir?"

"You're coming with me."

Walter was going to object but he kept his mouth closed. "Yes sir."

"Wally?"

"Yes sir?"

"Call me sir one more time and I'll stuff a hell lot of wasabi in your nostrils, I hate formality, call me Liuxang."

"... Yes s-Liuxang and thank you."

"What for?"

"For ... well ... y'know."

"It's nothing Wally, after all, what kind of world would we live in without some kindness."

"...I see..."

"I booked business class, we're going to have one hell of a plane trip, now where was those fake bombs I had in my luggage ..."

Walter sighed as Liuxang started rummaging through the car.

"You don't bear a grudge, Sir?"

"You had your reasons, I have mine, though different, we both have the same goals, redemption."

"You gave me the antidote to that poison sir, you saved my life, but you knew that I killed them."

"It's not you I blame, but the one who sent you and tried to kill you."

"I see."

"As I said, you punishment is to have a new life, not to live in your old life."

"Thank you."

"You want to meet him too, don't you? He helped me decide your fate."

"Him? But he's –"

"No, he's not." Liuxang put his hand on his chest. Walter nodded, he knew what Liuxang meant.

Kay made a leap of faith, and landed with a cat's grace near Lang. She handed him a chip.

"Here ya go, Wolfy!"

"What the heck is this?"

Upon closer examination, he saw letters scribbled on the chip.

QILIN'S DIARY

"From Liuxang, with love," Kay said.
