Chapter 384 - Let Him Go

Yu Mei narrowed her eyes. As expected, she knew. She knew her real identity and she knew who she was. 

From the corner of her eyes, Yu Mei noticed that Director Xiang was still in that elevator, struggling to remove the rope from his body while her guard was holding the chain with one hand to keep the elevator from falling while he fought with the men around. 

Han Jingyi made full preparation and had hidden her men around without a trace. 

Yu Mei wanted to go there to help but it would only endanger them further considering how chaotic the situation looked and Han Jingyi was distracted while talking or else one would not know what crazy thing she will do considering how psychotic she looked.

"What has it got to do with you? Like who I am or what am I am or my identity...why does it matter?" Yu Mei was curious about this. Han Jingyi seemed to have known a lot about her. 

"How could it not?" Han Jingyi frowned, "I did everything to get rid of you but I never expected you to come back."

Yu Mei was a bit stunned, despite already expecting it. As it turns out, Han Jingyi was the one responsible for her assassination all along. 

As if Han Jingyi got conscious with her words, she raised her hand and moved a finger. One of her men walked towards her and dragged the Vice President out of the place. The man put a struggle but it was of no use as the other person was powerful.

At this point, Yu Mei observed the situation behind. Jun Zixuan's personal guard could deal with all these people with one hand so he was definitely strong. But him holding the chain with the other hand made the situation a bit sticky as there were almost 5-6 people he was dealing with. 

And Yu Mei noticed that there were some more at a distance too, behind Han Jingyi. 

Either this woman really hated her to the core or she wants to go to an asylum. 

Yu Mei turned to look at her, "So you are admitting that you are the one who was behind the assassination attempt?" She asked, using the word 'attempt' for a reason.

From Han Jingyi's attitude, it seemed like she had no clue that Yu Mei Zhen and Han Mei were indeed two different people. And she wanted to keep it that way. Matters like how she woke up in this body and everything that followed were too complicated for her to let it be publicized. 

Han Jingyi lowered her head. 

Yu Mei raised an eyebrow. Was this woman guilty out of nowhere or she was planning to pounce on her? 

She tilted her head and looked at her with her eyes narrowed, "You know, I have always hated you. Be it as Han Mei or be it as Yu Mei."

"Let him go. We can discuss this after that," Yu Mei pointed her hand in Director Xiang's direction. 

"No. How will I hold you here then, cousin?" There was sarcasm in the way she said cousin. 

Yu Mei frowned, "I will be here. You don't have to hold him hostage for that. I want to get some answers as well and for them, I will be here."

Han Jingyi chuckled before shaking her head, "Do you take me as a fool? I let him go and you leave after that with the help of this man who is obviously here to protect you?" She could see how strong this man was to be handling her men single-handedly while he supported the chain of the manual elevator with the other hand. 

With no restrictions, he will be able to slay all her men effortlessly. 

"Han Jingyi, you have to be a fool if you think I care about his life," Yu Mei said out of nowhere.

Han Jingyi was stunned for a moment before she glanced at Director Xiang, "You heard her?" She said in a loud voice, "She said she doesn't cares about your life. And you stay loyal to a person like that. Tsk."

Yu Mei shook her head, "Vice President was my right-hand man. I did not care about him being bought by you, then why would I care about Director Xiang? He is someone I have known for a few months only."

"Then, why do you want me to let him go?" Han Jingyi glanced at her doubtfully. 

"Because I can't get a murder written under my name. I am with Zixuan and I can do all I have to not ruin his reputation," She said seriously. 

Han Jingyi narrowed her eyes and a few thoughts flashed in them before she nodded, "Help him out of there," She commanded one of her men. 

Yu Mei, who saw through all the thoughts in her eyes sighed inwardly before nodding at her guard, to assure him to let the person in the open elevator. 

The man tightened his grip on the chain and soon Director Xiang was carried out of the elevator.

Under Han Jingyi's command, two chairs were arranged on the further corner of the room for Director Xiang and the bodyguard. 

As he walked across them, the guard looked at Yu Mei with a fleeting and meaningful gaze. 

And the corner of her lips tugged up in an angle Han Jingyi did not notice. Since Jun Zixuan knew about this, he should be on his way. This location is more on the abandoned site of the city but she believed he will be able to come here. 

Till then, she wanted to extract answers to all her questions from Han Jingyi. 

She wasn't exactly burning with hatred but she sure was holding herself back from killing this woman. Although in this life, they are on the wrong note but in her previous, they did not even know each other then on what basis did she want her dead?
