Chapter 403 - Please Wake Up
Yu Mei tilted her head to the side and she was greeted by the sight of a 6 feet tall man standing there. Something flashed in her mind but it went by so quickly that she could not catch onto it. The person's face looked familiar to her but she could not remember where she saw him...
As the man led Yu Mei inside, she quietly followed after him while observing the surroundings.
The house looked small from outside and it was small from inside as well. There was only a living room and an open bedroom without any door.
The man did not stop neither did he talk to her as he walked inside the bedroom before standing in front of the wall.
Yu Mei quietly followed after him.
He removed a painting from the wall and she noticed a 16 inch black display behind it.
The man placed his palm on it and the black screen lit up with a blue light.
He stepped back from the wall and Yu Mei watched as the wall split open, sliding to the sides revealing a huge staircase that led underground.
The lights on the either sides of the staircase lit up, lightening up the grand European styled living room.
''I want to see Mia first.''
The man did not respond to her.
Just as he was about to step forward, she pressed the tip of her gun on his neck, ''Take me to her first.''
The man paused, ''If I don't?"
The thought of something happening to Mia had left a numbing sensation on her heart.
Unless she saw her with her own eyes, Yu Mei did not care about anything else. Either they take her to Mia, or all of them perish together...
Just as the thought crossed her mind, Jun Zixuan's face flashed in front of her eyes.
''Then you die,'' She pulled the trigger, her tone was emotionless.
'Bang'
The sound of the resounding gunshot reverberated in the air with Yu Mei's hand in air, pointing towards the roof. The man had grabbed her wrist in time and changed the direction where the gun was pointing at.
''You are being taken there, to meet your pet,'' The middle-aged man said as he looked at her, his gaze meaningful, ''Till then, you should be patient. If I die here, we won't know if your pet is breathing.''
Her fingers curled tighter around the gun and her knuckles turned pale. ''Let go of my hand,'' She narrowed her eyes.
The man's grip on her wrist tightened and he snatched the gun from her hand.
Yu Mei did not speak all the way as he led her inside what looked like an underground mansion. They walked past the living room and she observed the rooms on the side as they walked in the hallway.
His footsteps came to a halt in front of the cornermost room that lied on the end of the hallway. Yu Mei noticed him putting his palm on the door before he looked at the black screen in front of his face. The screen lit up as it scanned his irises.
'Click'
The man pushed the door open before he stepped inside. Yu Mei quietly followed after him.
''Here it is, your pet,'' The man pointed his finger towards the dark corner in the room.
Yu Mei looked over in the direction and her eyes slowly teared up as she witnessed Mia lying in the corner lifelessly, there was no movement from her and she was curled up like a small ball. Even in her fox form, Mia have always been like that proud and arrogant Princess, strutting around with her chin raised.
Yu Mei bit her botttom lips as she she tried to hold her tears. But it was as if she had no control over them as they streamed down her cheeks.
"It does looks expensive but is it worthy for you to risk your life?'' The man said, almost in a mocking tone even though his face remained indifferent.
Yu Mei stepped towards Mia without responding to him. There was nothing she could see or hear at this moment. Her mind stopped working the moment she saw Mia in this condition...
''Mia... Mia, wake up...'' Yu Mei cradled the white little fox in her arms but the body felt lifeless to her touch. It was so cold that she felt a freezing sensation on her palm and the blood soaking her furs had dried at some point but there was fresh blood oozing out from her paws.
If she was not aware of the fact that Mia's body temperature was naturally cold and it was even colder when she was in her fox form, then she would have thought Mia was dead taking her faint, almost non-existent breathing in consideration.
But even so, Yu Mei could feel the fear creeping up in her heart... She has never seen Mia like this. She has always seen the woman claiming that no human can hurt her, that they don't hold the power to hurt her.
"How pathetic,'' The man mumbled under his breath looking at Yu Mei as he shook his head before walking out of the room.
"Mia... Please wake up...'' A sob escaped her lips as tears rolled down her cheeks, ''I will always listen to you... You can do whatever you want, I won't stop you. I won't let brother hurt you too. You have always wanted to sleep with him, right? You can seduce him however you want. I won't stop you. And you can cause chaos for the people whom you don't like, I won't stop you from that as well. Just don't leave u-us....''
Yu Mei did not know what was going on or what the whole situation was but at this moment, she felt like something was terribly wrong with Mia.
"Mia, what should I do so that you wake up?" Yu Mei hugged her, lightly enough to not tear open her cuts. Anger burned in her heart and tears rolled down her cheeks, ''I won't spare those who did this to you.... Please wake up,'' She broke down while speaking to her.
