Chapter 405 - Story (1/2)

''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.
