Married to his secret crush-Chapter 405 - Story

''You miss your brother, right?" Han Sheng asked.

Yu Mei averted her gaze from the timer as she looked at him quietly.

''How about this? You can drop a text for him... You don't want to?" He added the last line with a frown on his face when Yu Mei did not move from her spot. As she did not make any move to take the iPad from his hand, Han Sheng took his other hand out of his pocket before he snapped his fingers.

In the next moment, the door was pushed open again as two men came inside, approaching Mia.

'Bang'

Yu Mei pulled out another gun from her leather boot as she aimed it at Han Sheng's hand before pulling the trigger.

Han Sheng moved in time and shifted from his position, dodging the bullet successfully but it grazed past his arm.

The two men who were making their way towards Mia stopped in their tracks as they rushed to Han Sheng to support him.

Yu Mei walked to the corner before she picked Mia up in her arms.

At this time, the man who earlier guided Yu Mei to the room rushed there only to witness this scene. ''You...'' Given how naive she looked, he did not bother to recheck if she had more weapons on him at that time.

Han Sheng laughed. With the blood flowing from his arm, and the scar on his face wrinkling up, his laughter seemed maniacal to a point.

He handed his iPad to one of his men who placed it on the floor, ''The countdown starts now,'' Han Sheng whispered while looking at Yu Mei before he walked out of the room, the rest of his men followed after him.

Yu Mei stroked Mia's fur as she closed her eyes befor taking a deep breath.

After a few minutes, she opened her eyes, feeling a little calm. She slowly scratched the back of her neck befoe she looked around the room.

The room was very small and appeared cozy in comparison with the extravagant mansion. There was a fireplace at a distance on the opposite wall. But other than that, Yu Mei did not even find a single window in the room.

She quietly glanced at the gun in her hand and her thoughts drifted off to what Han Sheng said. She killed two people.... It was not the first time that she did it. She had killed some of those assasins before but... her fingers trembled slightly and she looked at Mia, ''Why won't you wake up?" She whispered as brought her knees closer to her body.

Feeling a strange itchiness on her back, she raised her hand and massaged her neck. Holding Mia in her hand, she tried to stand up, only to end up stumbling on the floor.

...

''Ah...'' Yu Mei winced as she opened her eyes, feeling a numbness on the back of her neck.

She blinked slowly as she hugged her body, feeling a gust of cold air grazing past her skin. Her body curled up slightly. But suddenly, her eyes opened wide as she sat up, ''Mia...'' Yu Mei looked around only to be greeted by the sight of a huge swimming pool in front of her eyes. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m

She scanned her surroundings.? She remembered being in that small room then how did she get here? Why did they bring her to the terrace?

''You are awake,'' came a voice from behind that had her alert within an instant.

Yu Mei pushed herself to her feet as she turned around to look at the man who was sitting on an armchair with a coffee table in front of him.

Her gaze wandered off to the chess board kept on it while Han Sheng played the game by himself. ''You want to join?" The man asked as he glanced at her.

''Where is Mia?" Her fingers curled into a fist.

"Hmm... Mia... Who is Mia?" Han Sheng's brows tugged together as he looked at her in confusion. Then, his eyes suddenly lit up, ''Oh, are you talking about that fox?...Hmm, I wonder where it is..''

Yu Mei's lips thinned.

''Maybe it is swimming inside the pool?" Han Sheng asked as he glanced at her.

Her lips parted and Yu Mei turned to look at the pool. Because of the dim lighting in the terrace, she could not see anything other than the surface of the water.

Just as she was about to step towards the swimming pool, Han Sheng spoke up once again. ''I said maybe. Myabe it's not there as well.''

''If anything happens to her...'' Yu Mei glanced at the man as she shook her head slightly, her tone was barely above a whisper, ''...I won't spare you.''

''10 minutes left,'' Han Sheng moved in the chair casually as he spoke, acting like he was not just threatened a moment ago, ''...I knew you missed your brother so I called him here. Should you thank your Uncle?"

"Why are you doing this? Why do you even want him here?" Yu Mei glanced at the man, ''All this while, we have stayed far away from Han Family members and had nothing to do with them until the truth came to light. My brother.... He is your son too. Why must you do everthing to hurt or harm him?"

Han Sheng smiled, ''I wonder why? How about this, Lirttle Mei... You sit on the chair next to me and I tell you a story. I promise it will be short one,'' There was a crazed look in his eyes.

Yu Mei nodded, ''I will listen to you but I need to make sure my fox is fine. Show her to me first.''

''You are a stubborn one,'' Han Sheng clicked his tongue before pointing his hand in the other direction.

Yu Mei followed the direction of his finger and she spotted a man standing with Mia in his arms at a distance from them.
