The girl darted her eyes around. Hoping for a way to escape. As her back hit the wall, the filled up tears slowly flowed out. Her breaths turned rapid. There were around five to six hooligans cornering her.
"She sure is a good catch." commented one of them.
The other all agreed as they chuckled seeing the desperate situation of the girl.
She froze for a moment. She fell of her knees and covered herself protectively with her hands. She had her head down and she spoke with her trembling the voice, "Please, let me go. Please" her sobs made the entire situation more interesting for the hooligans.
"How could we? We don't let chances pass this easily." replied one of them.
The girl cried helplessly after hearing them.
Meilin watched; her blood boiled seeing the situation. She calculated the situation and drew a rough sketch, after all this wasn't too hard of a situation to deal with. Alley between a club and a closed storage building. The night was dark enough so the club should have people. Since it was alley she looked for a door from the club. Sure enough she found one.
She smirked as she made her move.
The girl had all her hope wash away. She only had one move to make. Go Crazy.
As she made a decision the hooligans were close enough to take advantage of the situation. The entire moment was interrupted as a 'Thud' was heard. Everyone looked around to see what had happened. The girl slowly lifted the head to see the commotion.
The all had their eye on the figure in the dark shade of the night.
"Seems like everyone is having fun." spoke the figure walking forward raising the curiosity of the hooligans.
"That is nothing of your business." replied one of them.
She smirked as she heard the reply. Her slightly raised lips could be clearly traced when the dark shadow was slowly left behind.
"But it bothers me. You have one last chance to leave it or face it. " she said in a warning tone.
"Are you asking us to run away like cowards. We don't like your deal." mocked the head.
"Then make sure to ask someone to pick you up."
"Huh?"
"It was a suggestion." she responded before moving forward to make her attack. She kicked right in the stomach of the first one, before moving in to take down the rest. As she moved in draining the energy of each one of the them, she stood in front of the girl who was still trying to read the situation.
She took a moment to bend down. She spoke to the girl in a low voice, " Make sure you go through the door you see on your left when you get a chance." the girl searched for the door and nodded desperately.
She turned around to face the rest of the hooligans. 'The Climax' she said in her head as she grabbed the glass bottles on the ground and smashed them one by one on their head after giving them a taste of her pepper spray. The girl had taken this short span of time to escape through the door and make her way out of the bad situation.
Meilin turned back and looked at her art and thought,'Sure enough things like this should be dealt in the girly way. That was much faster that the last one.' She climbed up the building making her way out of the scene after ensuring the situation was truly under control.
**********
As Mey headed towards the back door of the club to attend a call she was received with the sight of the fallen hooligans in a terrible situation in the alley. She quickly glanced at them before heading back in and locking the back door. Why do people go around beating? Sure enough they should be into something bad. Otherwise they wouldn't have been beaten down this bad. They must have surely asked for it. How many people would have been there to taken them down? The opponents should be really well built.
Mey had her thoughts running as she thought about what she had just seen.
She met with her friends and bid them farewell after she dropped a message to her brother to come pick her up.
She headed outside the club waiting for her brother. It wasn't long until he had arrived to pick.
"How bad the situation is, there will always be two choices left; Do or Die."
The cool wind brushed against her as she dashed over the tall building roofs. Not far away she could see UM Apartments. She increased her speed as she headed towards its direction.The minimal small decorative artistic protrusions on the walls of the apartment, always made climbing easier. As she made her way down to the 7th floor's corner balcony, she could smell delicious home-made food. As the mouth-watering smell hit her senses, she slowly made her way through the balcony door. She headed straight to the kitchen.She leaned on the door frame as she watched Bo Xue make the dishes.Xue always stood beside her whether she was right or wrong. They knew each other from high school. She still remembered how desperate Xue was during her high school. Her friend's betrayal had left her broken.She floated away thinking how their friendship grew over the years. Her support during the hardest times of her life were one of the reasons she kept taking small steps
The youthfulness of the night slowly started to fade as dawn crept in. Her apartment was minimal and aloof just as she preferred. The dark shades of black and grey paired with a bit of white gave off a boring and lonely feel. She was used to being lonely and she enjoyed how it left her with space and thoughts.She took out a paper and pencil and sketched out the route she took this night. She checked the locations to spot for CCTV cameras to see if anyone of them had recorded her. She had gotten her findings about the cameras mixed up last time, almost getting herself into trouble. If not for her to check the map of the location out of instinct, she would have been trapped. She had to get Chyou to look into it to clear the footage.As her hands flew through the familiar keyboard she found something strange. There was only one CCTV camera that could have captured her. The footage that might have recorded her was missing clips. She headed to the 'Black Room'. The room oc
The serious conversation Meilin was having with her subordinates were interrupted as An Cheng, Su Lin's assistant requested her presence in a currently held meeting. She furrowed her brows upon hearing the request.She handed the files to Chyou before heading to the meeting leaving Cheng behind.She pushed open the doors and walked in to the conference room. Her pump heels echoed in the room screaming authority. She sat in the vacant chair crossing her legs idly.The atmosphere turned dense upon her arrival. The earlier lively meeting died the moment her domineering presence filled the room.The silence was broken as one of the directors mustered up his courage to speak up,"I hope you know why you are here?""I wouldn't have bothered to come here then." she stated as a matter of fact.She quietly studied her surrounding atmosphere. She could understand that they were all planning to trouble her again. The last time they found trouble for her
He closed his eyes and replayed what just happened. He grabbed the resignation letter breathed in deeply and calmed himself down before heading out of the room. An Cheng followed him behind closing the door.His steps were a bit hurried. He went straight into the designing department and pushed open her cabin door.*****She had left the room with an airy feeling. It was a sudden and immediate decision. As she came in the cabin she halted and looked around. She learned how to conceal and cover. It was over an year since she had smiled freely. There was a time when this cabin was everything. It held her happiness and beautiful memories.Now it is over. No more of holding it in. Nothing lasts after all. She went ahead and started collecting empty boxes to pack up her belongings. Sensing the door being pushed open she turned around to see Su Lin.He glanced at Ai Chyou who was standing beside Meilin. Ai Chyou hurried out of the cabin followed by An Ch
The words calmed her down. She looked at the figure protecting her. She felt safe. She wiped off her tears and hummed in agreement to her words.Mei was surrounded by the goons as she sheltered the little girl. She attacked as they headed against her. The little girl stayed close to Meilin.As two of them closed in she kicked one down and punching down the other one. When she got a gap, Mei carried the child and hurried out of the park. She ran down a narrow road to a crowded street to lose them.The goons halted as they saw them heading towards the crowded street."How could I lose that little girl!" said one of them with anger."Let’s not move in and act now. We will be discovered." reminded one of them among the group."Retreat" shouted the head.Mei and the girl watched them withdrawing. She sighed in relief. She slowly put the child down. She held her hand and walked down the street. As she was around the corner of the stre
Su Lin never expected Mei to quit. 'Mei I can't let you go that easily. All the effort that I put in, I don't want it to end like this.'He was pulled out from his trail of thoughts as he heard a knock behind him."Come in." he said.An Cheng entered and walked in to the front of the table. Su Lin turned around to face An Cheng."The files regarding Hu Meilin's resignation." An Cheng said after placing the folders on the table.He glanced at the folders on the table and said,"An Cheng call Shadow. Tell him to meet me in our usual place." He picked up his jacket and headed to the door."Are you sure? Have you thought about the aftermath?" asked An Cheng with concern."An Cheng, I delayed it way too long and my benign manners only ruined my calculations. This time I am going to do it my way." He replied with a firm tone before heading out, leaving An Cheng staring at the closed door.*****Hui listened to Liliang as she na
The unusual knock on the door disturbed the silence she was immersed in. She waited for it to die down as she leisurely sipped a glass of wine. The cool breeze from the open balcony rushed in to caress her. Knock! Knock! Knock-Knock-Knock-Knock! The slow paced knock slowly increased as the visitant became impatient with the lack of response. Mei slowly closed her eyes and patiently waited for the knock to stop as she savored the remnants of wine inside her mouth. The silence crept back in as the dissonant knock drew to a halt. Click! Her eyes shot open upon hearing the sound. 'Someone just picked the lock'. She grabbed her phone to check the visitor outside. Seeing the tall thin figure outside the door just made her think deep as what to do. She got up from her chair and slowly headed towards the door. She stood in front of the door unmoved as she contemplated her next move. Bohai had already decided to barge in only to find that the d
It wasn't long before she was hit with dizziness followed by realization. As her eyelids turned heavy she placed the wine glass on the table clumsily before trying to get back on her feet. She tried to support herself, only to loose her balance each time. She gathered all her strength and turned towards Bohai and asked him,"The w..i..ne.?" She could hear him say as he lowered his head, "I am Sorry". She cursed herself for letting her guard down before loosing all her consciousness. Bohai rushed to hold her to avoid her hitting the ground. He held her up closely and placed her on the chair. He gazed at her closely. At the thought of what he just did resurfaced on his mind he turned his head away in remorse. He stood up and texted,'Done.' He stared outside the balcony into the endless darkness. 'I can't go back to the past to change what I have done but I hope I could just see your nonchalant smile again.' It didn't take a while to hear
