Both the men turned to look at her when she stopped them.

Han Sheng slowly stood up from his chair as he glanced at Han Jian Yu before he raised his hands to clap, ''It was not that I never doubted your identity but I got nothing on my hand against you. The whole world was not even aware of the fact that the great President of Amaranthine even has a sister. You played well, Han Jian Yu.''

Yu Mei was beyond disgusted when she heard him using that tone to talk to Han Jian Yu. No matter what, he was still his biological son but then it would be too much if she expected him to hug Han Jian Yu.

''And now you are standing in front of me, with your gun pointed at me, the man who is your biological father,'' Han Sheng shook his head in disappoiuntment, ''You really are something, my dear son...''

''Enough nonsense,'' Han Jian Yu interrupted him, ''You have something against your biological mother, go confront her. You dared to touch my sister and for that, I don't mind shredding you to pieces and feeding you to wolves.''

When Yu Mei heard what Han Jian Yu said, she understood that the live recording going on was not only meant for the Han Family but everything was also witnessed by Jun Zixuan and him.

Han Sheng paused.

While the duo had their attention on each other, nobody noticed when Jun Zixuan, who had his gun pointed at Han Sheng's head put it down while he looked in a particular direction.

No one noticed, except for Yu Mei who had her gaze fixed on Jun Zixuan the moment he came there. She noticed him staring at Mia whose body was covered with blood while a man held her.

And for a few seconds, Jun Zixuan was in a daze.

His lips parted slightly as he turned to look at her and she noticed how his expression changed even more as he looked at her.

She followed his gaze and slowly raised her hand to her face, her fingers stroked her cheeks and she could feel it aching like someone had stabbed it. Her eyes teared up as she looked into Jun Zixuan's eyes. It was as if everything that she went through in the past few hours.... everything she tried to be so calm about, suddenly felt like too much for her.

She felt like she had suffered a lot and there was nothing more that she wanted to do at the moment other than burying her face in his arms and crying her heart out. 'Mia...' She mouthed as tears rolled down her cheeks 'I don't know...if she is alive or dead.'

Jun Zixuan, who was quietly looking at the bruises on her jaws, read her lips and he froze for a moment when he understood what she was saying.

On the other hand, Han Sheng who was still stunned by Han Jian Yu's words recovered from his initial shock. It was not like he did not know what kind of person he was when he was younger but the younger Han Jian Yu still knew something called fear.

Though he talked back on his face but there was always that slight tremble to his tone, that would give him away and expose the fear that he was hiding inside his heart.

But right now, Han Sheng did not trace a bit of fear in the man who was standing in front of him and after his momentary shock, the corner of his lips tugged up, ''Very well,'' He smirked, ''Kill me. my dear son. Atleast, give it a try,'' As he said so, he slowly raised his hand.

Han Jian Yu frowned, ''Mei, get away from him,'' His voice went cold as he watched the man's hand moving towards Yu Mei.

''Do you dare to, my dear niece?" Han Sheng asked.

Yu Mei stood rooted to her spot, "Brother...put that down,'' She looked at gun in Han Jian Yu's hand, ''Zixuan... No..'' She whispered when she noticed his fingers tightening around the gun.

Han Jian Yu frowned, ''What has he told you for you to act like this...'' He paused speaking when Han Sheng grabbed her neck, choking her.

'BANG'

'BANG'

The sound of two consequent gunshots reverberated in the huge rooftop.

Yu Mei closed her eyes as blood splattered on her face.

Han Sheng hissed as two bullets grazed past his wrist.

'Kachk'

Yu Mei's eyes snapped open when she heard the familiar sound and the sight that she witnessed made her go numb once again. The man had stabbed Mia's paw once again, the same one he had stabbed before and she could see fresh blood oozing out of the gauze that was wrapped around it.

It was only at this moment did Han Jian Yu turn around to look that way. Initially, he was too occupied with everything to notice it. His eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at what looked like a cotton ball with blood everywhere on it.

It took him a moment to notice the birthmark on the forehead of the little thing. He looked at it for some time before his gaze roamed on her bloodied body... ''It's that fox...'' The one who had escaped from him, and then he looked for her allover the place.

But he discovered it much later that it was Mia's pet...

''Why is she here?" Han Jian Yu's gaze landed on Yu Mei's bruised jaws and teary eyes and his blood boiled, ''Mei, come here.''

''No,'' A whisper escaped her lips, ''They will kill her... He will kill her,'' She said softly.

Han Jian Yu once again looked at the fox whose body was filled with bruises and there was no movement in it, ''It...won't survive,'' He whispered, despite feeling a dull ache in his heart. Somewhere he knew that he was a bit attached to this little thing... He closed his eyes.. Despite everything, it was his sister who meant everything to him and there was no way he would let her risk her life, even if he was being ruthless doing this, he didn't mind.
