Married to his secret crush-Chapter 411 - Weakness

"So, what do you want?" Han Jian Yu glanced at the man quietly.

''Kneel!'' The corner of Han Sheng's lips tugged up as his voice reverberated in the huge terrace.

Yu Mei froze but Jun Zixuan kept her locked in his arms, not letting her move,?''Don't look. It will be over soon,'' He whispered as he stroked her back.

''What exactly do you mean by over? This crazy man....'' She inhaled a deep breath, ''He hates brother. He won't spare him...''

Jun Zixuan wordlessly kept stroking her back.

Han Sheng glanced at Han Jian Yu, ''You want to go back on your word, President Han....or do I say my dear son?" He raised his hand to stroke the scar running down from the corner of his eyes while he glanced in the other direction.

Han Jian Yu followed his gaze and found him looking at the baby fox, his fingers curled into a fist. It would be lie if he said he didn't feel his heart aching at the sight of that little thing tortured to this extent.

And at this moment, he knew what Han Sheng was planning to do. If he didn't give in to him, then he would torture that fox further and use it to control Yu Mei... And eventually, the same process will keep happening.

'Thump'

Han Jian Yu loosened the tie around his neck as he came to his knees without speaking a single word.

Han Sheng laughed, pleased at the little victory he felt. He took a sip from the glass of wine before he spoke, ''Who could have known that this little pet would be this useful?" When he was taking Han Jingyi back to the Han Family from the construction site, Han Jingyi suddenly blabbered about a white something in shock while pointing her fingers in the direction of the forest.

Although he acted like he didn't care, but he texted his men to trace the place and much to his amusement, they found this small fox who was lying unconscious under a tree.

Later he casually asked Han Jingyi about it and because of her state of mind, she did not think much before revealing it to him that the white fox was Yu Mei's pet. 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨ｍ

While cursing Yu Mei, Han Jingyi revealed how that fox had scratched her when she tried to pat her head and also how Yu Mei was protective of her.

Han Sheng took this risk, to use that fox whom he catured as a bait to lure Yu Mei and then to use Yu Mei to lure Han Jian Yu and Jun Zixuan.

He was afraid at the thought of provoking Jun Zixuan or offending him. As powerful as Han Jian Yu was, Han Sheng was certain that Yu Mei was his biggest weakness.

But who knew both these powerful and invincible men had a woman as their weakness. And this smart and witty woman had her pet as her weakness.

So, all of them had a weakness and he moved the pawns accordingly, using their respective weakness to bring them down.

''You know what, son? You ruined all my plans,'' Han Sheng glanced at Han Jian Yu disdainfully, ''The day when my dear niece was being kidnapped by her nanny, there was no way I wanted you to follow after her. You should have been a good boy and stayed at the mansion while she died outside,'' His words were as vicious as his tone.

And Yu Mei felt Jun Zixuan's arms tightening further around her body. She felt slightly breathless but she let him hug her like he wanted.

She knew she would make them worry by coming here but at that time, all she thought of was Mia and no one else. But now that she knew that her brother and Jun Zixuan saw live recording of everything that happened, she knew that there must be thousands of thoughts, anxiety, worry running through their minds when they were on their way to here.

It was just like when she saw Mia's pictures where she was all bruised and bloodied, she could not drive properly, thinking of what might have happened though the condition was not any better right now.

Crack!

Yu Mei snapped out of her daze when she heard the sound... It reminded her of... of the crack of a whip.

''Zixuan, let me go,'' She struggled in his arms.

''Stay like that,'' Jun Zixuan replied, slightly loosening his grip on her but not enough for her to move.

''Let me go,'' She placed her hands on his chest as she struggled but her attempts to move away from him and turned around were all futile as the man didn't even budge.

Han Jian Yu's expressions remained unchanged as a man flogged his back while he knelt in front of Han Sheng quietly.

Han Sheng looked at the straight face. It was still the same. Though that face might have changed and matured with age, but that expression. That same straight face, fearless eyes, and unafraid expressions... the one which he detested the most.

He downed the entire glass of wine before he pushed himself to his feet and walked towards Han Jian Yu. While looking into his emotionless eyes, he whispered, ''Do you know that I have always hated you? Since the day you were born, all I ever felt for you is hate. That face of yours have always invoked my disgust. Always.''

Han Jian Yu's expression shifted slightly as he tilted his face upwards, ''Why?" He had always known it.

Though this man will be amicable at times but Han Jian Yu have always felt the hatred directed at him. He just never understood what was the source. Why did he hate him so much?

As blood oozed out from his back because of the whip, Han Jian Yu thought about it quietly.

Amidst everything, nobody noticed a small movement from the fox which was held by Han Sheng's man.

Fresh blood started seeping out from Mia's back, seeping through her fur which was already red because of the cuts and bruises on her.. A small frown formed near the crimson birthmark on her forehead.
