Chapter 247: Is he Yukira?
Chapter 247: Is he Yukira?
Nana didn’t know where she was aiming. It was all over in a split second. A cut appeared on Qian Mei’s neck, and blood started to trickle out. She clutched her throat and collapsed.
“Ah…save me…it’s hurting…”
Nana’s hands were trembling. Now that the danger passed, she slowly came in her senses. She couldn’t believe what she did.
‘I-I tried to kill her…’
She had never imagined a day like this would ever fall upon her. But it was a do or die situation. If she hadn’t attacked Qian Mei, then she would have killed Nana and her baby. At that moment, Nana couldn’t think about anything. The only thing that occupied her brain was her child’s safety.
She couldn’t control the resentment when Qian Mei said that she would kill her child. As a mother, how could she have tolerated this?
And Qian Mei had lost it. Even Huo Xiao Fan’s orders were deaf to her. Qian Mei’s face contorted in pain. Her hands also turned red in blood. Tears stained her cheeks.
“Please save me…I don’t want to die…Lady Liu…” She looked at her pitifully. “Please forgive me.” Her voice was getting hoarse. “But save me. I-I…don’t…want to die…” Every word coming out of her mouth sent a sharp pain in her throat.
Qian Mei was furious. She thought it was easy to deal with a pregnant woman. But it backfired!
But she still had a trick up her sleeve.
‘Isn’t Nana very kind? If I shed some tears, then she would definitely come forward to help me. And that time, I would make her trip and kick hard on her stomach with the last bit of strength I have. Then I don’t mind even if I die! But I will take you down to hell with me!’
Qian Mei continued. “Please, Lady Liu…I…I cannot breathe…”
Nana snapped out of her daze. Her instinct told her not to believe her tears.
‘No, I cannot fall for that. She is hurt, but she can try to harm me again if I step closer to her.’
Qian Mei gritted her teeth.
‘Why isn’t she coming here!?’
She didn’t have much time. She was losing consciousness.
Suddenly, the door opened with a bang, and two men came in.
Huo Xiao Fan snarled. “Take the maid away! Such a fool!”
On the other side, she wanted to bang her head on the wall as she saw what happened through the monitor.
What a fool I chose! I never thought she would become so violent and crazy.
The men lifted Qian Mei, but she was violently struggling in their arms. And this action confirmed to Nana that she was indeed plotting once again. On one side, she wanted to live, but now she was protesting.

Serena was absent-mindedly working in her office. She knew what Huo Xiao Fan had planned today.
Because she was the one who had aided in the twins kidnapping. She was the one who had told them to run an errand on a street that was almost deserted of any human life. It became easier for the men to kidnap them without attracting any attention to them.
Huo Xiao Fan had promised that they are just bargaining chips to make Nana divorce Jinhai. She won’t hurt them.
But, Serena was still a little nervous. Afterall all, they were his children with another woman.
Suddenly, five to six men dressed in black clothes barged in her cabin. She was shocked.
“Who are you?”
The security guard came running behind. “Mam, I don’t know who they are, but they just forced their way in. I tried to stop them, but they won’t listen.”
Serena was furious. “You are not allowed here. Get out-“
Then she noticed the badge on their vest. The crest was golden, and a name was imprinted in it.
Liu Guards.
“Liu family guards?” She frowned.
A bodyguard came forward. “Miss Serena, our boss wants to meet you. Please come with us.”
“Liu Jinhai?”
“Yes.”
“But why? And why did he send all of you?”
Then she got a bad feeling.
Is it related to Nana? Does he know anything?
The bodyguard said, “We have the orders to take you to him. We cannot answer any of your questions.”
Serena bit her lips and nodded. Outside, she saw a black car parked in front of her office. She saw Jinhai sitting at the back.
He rolled down the window and smiled. “How are you?”
Serena said with a smile, “I’m fine. W-why do you want to meet me?”
“You will soon know. Sit.”
“Why don’t we sit in my office and talk?”
He shot a cold glance, and she shut up. There was something dangerous in his gaze.
The door opened, and she was about to take a seat when a voice called her.
“Serena?” She froze.
Jianyu came beside her and saw all the bodyguards surrounding her. He immediately recognized them.
“Liu family guards?”
He looked inside the car and was stunned.
“Bro?”
Jinhai stared back at him. “Long time, cousin.”
Jianyu’s snapped out. “Y-yes. It’s a long time.”
Serena interrupted. She felt a sense a fear and panic grip her heart. “J-Jianyu, why are you here? You didn’t say that you were coming.”
“I wanted to surprise you for lunch.” Then he realized that Serena didn’t know about their relationship. But, Serena didn’t seem to be shocked.
What if she comes to know that I’m Chen Jianyu?
Before she could say anything, Jinhai smiled. “Perfect timing, cousin. Why don’t you come with us too?”
Jianyu darted a glance at Serena. He furrowed his brows.
She must know that he is Nana’s husband, Liu Jinhai, but why isn’t she asking me how we know each other?
Jinhai said, “Both of you will get your answers. Just sit inside. I want you to take you both to a nice place.”

After Qian Mei was taken away, Nana immediately made her way to the twins. She imagined them to be helpless and tired and scared. But a different scene greeted her.
The two men keeping a guard at the twins were lying on the ground, groaning in pain. One was coughing blood.
But the most shocking thing was that Yukira was still clutching onto one arm of one of the men and twisting it hard.
Yukito was the one who had his eyes wide open the entire time.
–A few minutes back—
Yukira bent his head and started chewing on the ropes of his right hand.
“Hey, Yukira! What are you doing?” Yukito asked. “How will we even escape when there are two guards still standing outside? The door is the only exit.”
But Yukira didn’t answer. He moved his jaw and tightened the ropes in between his teeth, trying to loosen them. Thankfully, the ropes were not too thick, so after working for a while, Yukira was able to free his hand.
And immediately with his free right hand, he lifted his pant at the left ankle. Something small metallic came into view.
Yukito was puzzled. “What is that?”
Yukira took the object out, and his brother was stunned. It was a small dagger. Yukira didn’t waste any time and cut the remaining ropes tying his wrist and legs.
He was now free.
“W-what? How do you have that thing?” Yukito was stupefied.
Is he really Yukira, my twin?
Yukira set his brother free too. But he was still in a daze. Then they heard some noises outside.
Yukira said, “We don’t have time. Let’s go.”
Suddenly, the door budged.
Yukira narrowed his eyes. He signaled Yukito to be quiet. He quickly tiptoed to the other side of the door.
One man entered and was shocked to see a chair empty. His back was at Yukira. Before he could raise the alarm, Yukira grabbed this chance and smacked a karate chop at the end of his neck. He felt a sudden pain surge inside him, and he collapsed on his knees, clutching his throat.
Then Yukira jabbed a strong upper knee cut aiming at his chin, and he fell on the ground with the impact.
Yukito had no words to say. When did his brother learn to fight? Out of both of them, he was always just slightly meak. But now, that was nowhere to be seen.
Then they heard footsteps. The other guard must have come to look since his fellow guard didn’t return.
The other man had just entered the room when Yukira suddenly grabbed him by his collar, dragged him inside, and punched him hard in his gut. The gun fell from his hands as he coughed out a mouthful of blood. He didn’t even understand when everything happened.
Yukira twisted his arm and threw a few more punches at him.
Which was the scene Nana saw when she entered the dilapidated room.
–Present—
The twins were also equally shocked.
“Nee-chan…? What are you doing here?”
Nana finally found her voice after she realized that what Yukira did was indeed a reality. She wasn’t dreaming.
“F-first, you tell me Yukira…What is this? Did you beat them up?”
