Married to his secret crush

Chapter 402 - You Lost Your Chance

In Ren Mansion.

The atmosphere in the living room was tense as Jun Zixuan sat on the couch with his eyes closed.

"Master...'' Steward Gu's fingers curled into a fist as he dropped to his knees, ''I have not been doing my work properly...''

Jun Zixuan's eyes opened and he looked at the man before looking at the rest of the servants standing in a queue,''What about the rest?''

''Nobody was around when Young Mistress left the mansion. No one has seen her,'' Steward Gu replied.

''The CCTV footage of all the nearby places and the security guards,'' Jun Zixuan said, ''You have 5 minutes. Get them here.''

Steward Gu nodded as he pushed himself to his feet.

''And check if my phone is left at hospital,'' Jun Zixuan stood up from the couch and a deep frown was etched between his brows.

...

Yu Mei stopped the bike at a alleyway which was at a little distance from the given location. She removed the helmet before getting off the bike as she looked around the place.

There was a small house with a spacious lawn around it and she could see the outlines under the streetlights. Yu Mei placed the helmet on the bike before she checked her phone. She called Jun Zixuan and Han Jian Yu on her way but they did not pick up her call.

She cursed under her breath when she noticed that the network was dead.

Yu Mei wondered if they tried to call her back but could not reach because of the poor network. But she was relieved that she dropped texts for them.

The bad network connection here must have something to do with this place.

Yu Mei walked towards the house in the dark. She knew this was risky but there was 90% chance that it was Mia in those pictures and if it was true then she could not afford to take any risks. For Mia to be in that condition, something must have happened to her or else there was no way a human can harm her.

And Yu Mei did not know exactly how vulnerable was Mia at this moment for her to be reduced to this condition. So despite the risks involved, she knew she can't leave her alone there.

She stood behind the wall as she looked at the gates at the entrance of the house. The metal gates were shining under the streetlights and the narrow road was empty.

Yu Mei did not spot a single man patrolling and her brows furrowed. In the construction site, Han Jingyi had hidden her men in every floor and she almost missed it because her carelessness.

Yu Mei turned around and walked towards the darker end of the alley, her footsteps were slow and steady as she made sure to not make any noise.

There were no streetlights at the backside of the house and as she stood there, she could make out the structure of the high wall under the pale glow of the moonlight. She tilted her head to the side and spotted the tree that was attached to the wall.

'Bam'

As Yu Mei steadied herself on her feet, she held in a breath. It has been a long time since she last climbed a tree and she thought she would fall on her face.

She regretted letting Han Jingyi go after ever everything she did to her. At this point, Yu Mei only hoped that Mia was fine or else...

She closed her eyes and took deeper breathes to calm herself, a tear drop rolled from the corner of her eyes as Mia's image flashed in her mind, where she was lying in a corner with her little body curled up and bloodied.

'Bang'

She took out the gun from her waistband and pulled the trigger, shooting the man behind the bushes who fell forward in the next moment.

The shiny metal of his gun had caught her attention the moment she had climbed on the tree.

As soon as the place returned to it's silence, three men came out of different spots, charging at her.

Yu Mei pursed her lips as she kicked one in the face while shooting the other person's knee, ''Is Han Jingyi the person behind this?" Such intricate planning... was Han Jingyi that desperate to kill her?

The third man paused when he heard the question, ''You don't need to know it when you are dying,'' He stopped at a distance and in a quick movement, he moved his gun before pulling the trigger.

'Bang'

Yu Mei's back collided against the wall as she stepped to the side. The moment he started talking, she had guessed that he had something like this in mind.

'Bang'

'Bang'

She shot the man before shooting the man who was charging at her with a dagger in his hand, ''You lost your chance,'' Yu Mei whispered before she turned to look at the man lying on the ground, unconscious.

Some rustling sounds in the distance caught her attention and she slowly stepped towards the window of the house, following the source of the noise.

''And you lost yours...'' came a whisper from the back and Yu Mei felt a sharp pain shooting through her neck while the cold metal of the gun was pressed against the back of her head.

'Bang'

''Ugh.... Ahh..'' A miserable shriek resounded in the empty lawn as she twisted her wrist before shooting the man from back.

'Bam'

''No, I didn't,'' She turned around to look at the person who fell on the ground.

Her lips thinned as she slowly raised her hand towards her neck. Yu Mei closed her eyes before she grabbed the tip and pulled out the syringe that was stabbed on the back of her neck.

''Ugh...'' She bit her bottom lips, enduring the pain and the awfully tingling sensation on her neck.

Throwing the syringe away, Yu Mei turned around and glanced of the window.

"You can come inside...'' Came a baritone voice from the side, ''...by the door.''

She already expected this.. With all this noise and gunshots, it would have been impossible for them to not know it.
