Chapter 100 - Have We Met Before? (1)

***Present*** 

"Ahhh! What the hell do you think you are doing!" Zhao Fan screamed, grabbing the attention of the people on the third floor. She tried wiggling herself out from Xiong Jingfei's death grip. 

The more she struggles, the tighter Xiong Jingfei held onto Zhao Fan's wrist. She didn't seem to have a reaction to Zhao Fan's scream. 

"Feifei, let go of Zhao Fan..." Xu Cheng calmly said, running out of the jade store with Feng Huan. He doesn't know what got into Xiong Jingfei. 

A moment ago, she appeared to look like she was going to pass out. Breathing very hard and was having unfocused eyes. Xu Cheng thought she was frightened by Zhao Fan's manic outburst. So when he reached out to hold onto her. 

All of a sudden, Xiong Jingfei pushed away his hand and ran out of the store. She didn't run far. Xiong Jingfei was in front of the store and leaning her head against the glass rail fence. Maybe she needed fresh air?

What Xu Cheng wasn't expecting was for Zhao Fan to chase after Xiong Jingfei. 

"Where do you think you are going!" Zhao Fan roared, storming right after Xiong Jingfei with her black heels clicking against the hard floor. 

Just as Zhao Fan was about to grab Xiong Jingfei by the hair. She suddenly spun around and glared at Zhao Fan. Never had Xiong Jingfei ever glared at her. It made Zhao Fan stop before touching a single strand of hers. 

That wasn't the only thing Xiong Jingfei did to her. Taking advantage of Zhao Fan's mild shock. She grabbed Zhao Fan's wrist and twisted her arm behind her back.

"Let go! I order you to let go of me, you mute!" Zhao Fan shrieked, using her other free arm to attack Xiong Jingfei. 

Instead of getting a mark on Xiong Jingfei. Zhao Fan was grabbed at the back of her neck and dragged closer to the edge of the rail. 

"Are you crazy!" Zhao Fan said, looking alarmed. Using her free hand to hold onto the rail as her life was depending on it. "Y-you aren't going to push me off, are you? Ahh!" 

Zhao Fan's neck was pushed against the cold silver rail. A shiver ran through her body. She wasn't sure if it was the rail or the height from the third floor to the first. It wasn't a height she could survive from. If she did, she would be in a vegetative state for life. 

"N-no! I-I won't allow that to happen to me!" Zhao Fan struggled to free herself. She tried using her free arm to push her neck off the rail, but it wasn't working. What in hell strength does someone like Xiong Jingfei have! 

Having her head turned to the side with her neck on the rail, she looked up at Xiong Jingfei "Are you seriously trying to kill me-"

The angry and threatening tone Zhao Fan was using instantly died. Her heart thumped crazily against her chest. This was really the end for her! Just based on the way Xiong Jingfei was staring down at her. It was like a person voided of all emotions. A person who wouldn't shed a tear or have a breakdown if they killed someone. The scary type that one shouldn't provoke! 

Zhao Fan couldn't recognize the Xiong Jingfei pressing her neck against the rail. What happened to the quiet and weak Xiong Jingfei? The one appearing like a frightened bunny when in trouble. Where did that Xiong Jingfei go? Did she finally snap?

"X-xiong Jingfei, I apologize for all the things I did to you. Please let me go..." Zhao Fan begged, peering down at the first floor and back at Xiong Jingfei. 

Receiving no reaction from Xiong Jingfei. Zhao Fan bit her bottom lip. She thought the weak-hearted Xiong Jingfei would release her if she showed a little remorse. There was no way she was going to continue pleading. Having to lower her dignity to beg someone like Xiong Jingfei! 

"Feifei, please calm down and let's talk, okay?" Xu Cheng tried coaxing her to let go of Zhao Fan. He took one small step at a time towards them to not agitate Xiong Jingfei. 

"Ahhh!" Zhao Fan high pitched screams resonate throughout all the floors in the mall. Having her neck and head closer off the rails. "Don't come any closer! Back away! Huan, help me!"

It wasn't just Xu Cheng who stopped, but also the security guards called by the onlookers for help. One of the security guards tried persuading Xiong Jingfei next, "Miss, I don't know what happened between the two of you. Please let that lady go, and we can talk this out?"

Feng Huan spoke next, "Feifei, I will apologize for Zhao Fan's temper tantrum. Please let her go, I don't want to see you get hurt because of this."

Zhao Fan's hand gripping on the rail tightens. Feng Huan doesn't want to see Xiong Jingfei get hurt? What about her, who is this close to falling off from the third floor? 

"Let go of me! You crazy mute!" Zhao Fan snapped, glaring at up at the person Feng Huan was more concerned about. 

Again, Xiong Jingfei didn't give her any reaction. Dead as a doll. Looking down at her without any concern that she is going to tip Zhao Fan over. Watching Zhao Fan struggle to release herself from her grip. 

No, she is not looking at me. Zhao Fan was getting that feeling as she kept looking up Xiong Jingfei. Like she was looking at someone else through her. 

A crowd was gathering from all four of the floors. Some took out their phone to record, and some tried persuading Xiong Jingfei to let go of Zhao Fan. It is never too late to talk things through! 

"Please let go of me, Xiong Jingfei." Zhao Fan cried, giving in and sincerely begged. "I-I won't bother you anymore, I promise!"

"You're always lying."  

Zhao Fan's heart took a leap. It has been a while since she last heard that soft light voice... Her eyes widened as she stared up at the person she hated the most in the world. The person who stole Feng Huan's heart, Xiong Jingfei.

Meanwhile, Xu Suying, who was unaware of what was going down on the third floor. She was humming and swinging a black bag down on the first floor. Feeling extremely happy that she was able to snatch the last limited edition purse. 

"What is this?" Xu Suying tilted her head. Watching a group of people gathering in the middle of the mall. 

They were pointing and filming something from on top of them. Xu Suying skipped over to them and looked up to see what was so exciting. She wanted in too! Not anymore when she saw the "fun."

"Feifei! Zhao Fan!" Xu Suying shrieked, running on her heels to press on the elevator to go up. "Too slow!"

Xu Suying ran up the stairs two at time. People were surprised she didn't trip or break an ankle with heels on. 

"Feifei, let go of her!" Xu Suying shouted, trying to catch her breath once she got on the third floor. "Brother, what happened? I leave you guys alone for a moment, and this happens." 

"I don't know how this happened too." Xu Cheng said truthfully. His jaw tightens, knowing like his voice wasn't getting through Xiong Jingfei.

"Feifei, can you hear me?" Feng Huan said, retaking a step towards them. 

Seeing that Xiong Jingfei wasn't pressing Zhao Fan's neck any harder onto the rail. He made his way towards them but at a slow pace only. On Feng Huan's second step, another tall figure was already ahead of him. 

He casually walked up from behind Xiong Jingfei. Putting his big hand on top the one holding onto Zhao Fan's neck, and the other covering Xiong Jingfei's eyes, he whispered, "Feifei. Darling, it's okay. You are safe with me."

The death grip holding onto Zhao Fan was released. She tightly held onto the hand in hers. This voice... She leaned against his sturdy chest and closed her eyes. The feeling of danger lifted from her chest. She was no longer in danger in that dark thick forest. 

"You know what to do," Yang Zheyan said, without his usual hint of warmth for others to see. He didn't even look at any of them as he carried the passed out Xiong Jingfei. 

"No problem, I am good at cleaning up messes..." Lu Weisheng grumbled, an expert in cleaning up my own messes.

"Sir," 

All of the security guards shouted, taking a small bow. Why of all days did the owner of the mall have to be here? They were afraid to get fired because they couldn't control something like this from happening. 

"You there," Lu Weisheng lazily pointed to one of the security guards. "Announce that we were filming a movie and ask for everyone to delete any video or picture taken. Is there any issue with completing this small task?"

"No, sir!" The security guards answered, scattering to all four floors to talk with the people that gathered. 

Lu Weisheng quickly dialed a phone number he memorized by heart, "I need you to delete a video and picture taken off the internet. No! It has nothing to do with me this time."

Zhao Fan coughed and rubbed her neck with a reddish mark forming. Is this all! She almost died, and they were going to act like it wasn't anything! Since Yang Zheyan was on Xiong Jingfei's side, she can't afford to go up against him even with her family backing. Except, there was another person strong enough to go against him. 

She ran up and hugged Lu Weisheng's arm with tears in her eyes, "Master Lu Weisheng, please, you must help me."

The quarreling between Lu Weisheng and the person on the phone immediately stopped. He looked down at the woman his sister-in-law almost toppled off the third floor earlier. His heartbreaking playboy smile plastered on his face, "What can I do for you, Miss Zhao?"
