Chapter 1 - She Is Dead (1/2)

”You… What exactly do you people want?” The woman retreated a few steps as she looked at the men standing in front of her, clad in black suits with their faces fully covered. There were four of them pointing their guns at her.

As she lowered her head, her gaze landed on eight men lying on the ground, not unconscious, but dead.

She somehow managed to deal with them. But in the end, she was still outnumbered. It was out of her calculations that they had brought back up with them.

She glanced at a bike parked beside her from the corner of her eyes, she could see the keys were still there. She wondered who parked the bike here, in the middle of nowhere in this road, with the vast endless forest expanded on both sides. That person must have run away after seeing the situation.

Anyways, it has got nothing to with her. She was sure that once the bike started, even the ghosts would not be able to catch up to her, let alone humans. But how was she supposed to distract them?

Confusion marred her beautiful face as her red lips pursed in displeasure. Han Mei stroked the watch on her right hand, a habit she had developed over years.

The watch had a tracker and she was sure he would be on his way to coming here already, she just has to go through this for a few more minutes.

A gust of wind swept by swaying her high ponytail, her straight hair swayed while the bangs lying above her eyelashes slightly shifted, revealing her starry eyes even more clearly.

She bit her lower lip slightly, her white teeth were a complete contrast to those soft lips painted red.

A sight that could even make a demon gasp, let alone some ordinary men. The assassins were awestruck as they looked at her, a woman as beautiful as her was indeed capable of bringing men to their knees.

Dressed in that red top that was ending right above her navel and black skinny jeans, she stood straight sporting those five-inch high heels, she seemed to be looking straight into the eyes of her death fearlessly. A sight that not everyone could forget.

Han Mei curled her hands into a fist as she took a small step back, her heels seemed to be stepping on air as there was not even a small sound as she tried to retreat carefully.

But somewhere deep within her mind, there was a voice in her mind telling her how impossible her plan was.

From the moment the backup team of assassins arrived, she was on the losing side because of the gun pointed at her head from distance, a single wrong step and she would be done for.

'What kind of fucking action scene is this? Why did I even step out of home today?' She thought to herself before taking another small step back.

”Stop right there.''

Her eyes widened as she turned around only to find a swarm of black behind her, there were approximately twenty men.

As she looked around, there was neither a car nor any other vehicle. That had her eyes narrowed almost instantly, it meant they were toying with her from the very first beginning.

They have covered the whole area. As she glanced at the dense force, a mocking smile appeared on her face, who knew if there were more mercenaries hidden in the shadows.

She sighed and her starry eyes turned tranquil as she glanced at the man who warned her to stop. Since he was standing in front of everyone, he must be their captain.

”So, why me?” she asked, coming straight to the point.

She did not provoke some big shot that would send an army of mercenaries to get her head.

The man chuckled, ”Because, it is you. Being a Han was your biggest fault, you see,” he said.

Han Mei froze. Han? She had yet to find something related to her birth, the truth of her existence. But the situation has already come to this.
