Chapter 247: Is he Yukira?
Nana didnât know where she was aiming. It was all over in a split second. A cut appeared on Qian Meiâs neck, and blood started to trickle out. She clutched her throat and collapsed.
âAhâ¦save meâ¦itâs hurtingâ¦â
Nanaâs hands were trembling. Now that the danger passed, she slowly came in her senses. She couldnât believe what she did.
âI-I tried to kill herâ¦â
She had never imagined a day like this would ever fall upon her. But it was a do or die situation. If she hadnât attacked Qian Mei, then she would have killed Nana and her baby. At that moment, Nana couldnât think about anything. The only thing that occupied her brain was her childâs safety.
She couldnât 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 Fanâs orders were deaf to her. Qian Meiâs face contorted in pain. Her hands also turned red in blood. Tears stained her cheeks.
âPlease save meâ¦I donât want to dieâ¦Lady Liuâ¦â She looked at her pitifully. âPlease forgive me.â Her voice was getting hoarse. âBut save me. I-Iâ¦donâtâ¦want to dieâ¦â 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.
âIsnât 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 donât mind even if I die! But I will take you down to hell with me!â
Qian Mei continued. âPlease, Lady Liuâ¦Iâ¦I cannot breatheâ¦â
Nana snapped out of her daze. Her instinct told her not to believe her tears.
âNo, I cannot fall for that. She is hurt, but she can try to harm me again if I step closer to her.â
Qian Mei gritted her teeth.
âWhy isnât she coming here!?â
She didnât have much time. She was losing consciousness.
Suddenly, the door opened with a bang, and two men came in.
Huo Xiao Fan snarled. âTake the maid away! Such a fool!â
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 wonât 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.
âWho are you?â
The security guard came running behind. âMam, I donât know who they are, but they just forced their way in. I tried to stop them, but they wonât listen.â
Serena was furious. âYou are not allowed here. Get out-â
Then she noticed the badge on their vest. The crest was golden, and a name was imprinted in it.
Liu Guards.
âLiu family guards?â She frowned.
A bodyguard came forward. âMiss Serena, our boss wants to meet you. Please come with us.â
âLiu Jinhai?â
âYes.â
âBut why? And why did he send all of you?â
Then she got a bad feeling.
Is it related to Nana? Does he know anything?
The bodyguard said, âWe have the orders to take you to him. We cannot answer any of your questions.â
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. âHow are you?â
Serena said with a smile, âIâm fine. W-why do you want to meet me?â
âYou will soon know. Sit.â
âWhy donât we sit in my office and talk?â
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.
âSerena?â She froze.
Jianyu came beside her and saw all the bodyguards surrounding her. He immediately recognized them.
âLiu family guards?â
He looked inside the car and was stunned.
âBro?â
Jinhai stared back at him. âLong time, cousin.â
Jianyuâs snapped out. âY-yes. Itâs a long time.â
Serena interrupted. She felt a sense a fear and panic grip her heart. âJ-Jianyu, why are you here? You didnât say that you were coming.â
âI wanted to surprise you for lunch.â Then he realized that Serena didnât know about their relationship. But, Serena didnât seem to be shocked.
What if she comes to know that Iâm Chen Jianyu?
Before she could say anything, Jinhai smiled. âPerfect timing, cousin. Why donât you come with us too?â
Jianyu darted a glance at Serena. He furrowed his brows.
She must know that he is Nanaâs husband, Liu Jinhai, but why isnât she asking me how we know each other?
Jinhai said, âBoth of you will get your answers. Just sit inside. I want you to take you both to a nice place.â
â
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.
âA few minutes backâ
Yukira bent his head and started chewing on the ropes of his right hand.
âHey, Yukira! What are you doing?â Yukito asked. âHow will we even escape when there are two guards still standing outside? The door is the only exit.â
But Yukira didnât 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. âWhat is that?â
Yukira took the object out, and his brother was stunned. It was a small dagger. Yukira didnât waste any time and cut the remaining ropes tying his wrist and legs.
He was now free.
âW-what? How do you have that thing?â 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, âWe donât have time. Letâs go.â
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 didnât 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 didnât 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.
âPresentâ
The twins were also equally shocked.
âNee-chanâ¦? What are you doing here?â
Nana finally found her voice after she realized that what Yukira did was indeed a reality. She wasnât dreaming.
âF-first, you tell me Yukiraâ¦What is this? Did you beat them up?â
