Huang Li arrived at home twenty minutes after Hana did only to see the door half-open. For some reason, he suddenly felt a bad feeling crept up in his c.h.e.s.t.

    He slowly pushed the door open and went in. As he took a step forward, he paused and noticed a red fluid... blood, leading to the living room.

    Crash!

    "Xiao Yao!" He rushed to where the loud sound came from and upon entering the room, his eyes went wide when he saw his wife on the floor.

    Hana was on top of her and was trying her best, using all her strength to push down the knife to the other woman''s c.h.e.s.t while Fan Xiao Yao was fighting back and was trying to resist her by pushing away the knife from her. Both were too focused on each other that they didn''t notice Huang Li.

    His customary warmth gone faster than summer rain on the tarmac. All that rage came out faster than magma and just as destructive when he saw that someone was trying to hurt his wife. In the next second, he attacked Hana, taking advantage of the situation. He assaulted her from behind, he took a vase and crashed it on her head, not caring if she died from it.

    Hana ended up falling on top of Fan Xiao Yao, unconscious. He rudely moved her body away from his wife and helped her get up.

    Fan Xiao Yao was looking at him in surprise and at the same time in relief. The moment she sat up, she pulled him into a hug and burst out crying. Her body was trembling, "Y-You''re here... You''re here..."

    "You''re safe now. I won''t let her hurt you." He wanted to hug her as tight as he could but he noticed the cut on her arm. The blood he saw on the floor, trailing toward the living room came from there.

    Huang Li''s eyes darkened. He slightly leaned back from the hug just so he could stretch his arm to grab the knife that was now laying on the floor. "I should make sure she''s dead."

    Fan Xiao Yao shook her head vigorously, "W-we need to get out of here!" She wiped the tears off her face and tried her best to control it. "The kids! We have to get them out of here!" She tried to get up but flinched and ended up falling back into his arms.

    Huang Li lowered his head just to look at her ankle and saw it swollen. He clenched the knife''s handle tighter. He should have come earlier! He could have protected Fan Xiao Yao properly if he brought he didn''t leave the place! He tried his best to contain his anger just so he wouldn''t scare his wife. He threw the pocket knife back on the ground and helped his wife to stand up.

    Just then, they heard footsteps rushing towards the room, and when they both turned their heads, they saw two men, holding guns.

    Huang Li''s eyes narrowed like daggers when he saw them. He was ready to jump in and protect his wife. "Who are you?" He spat coldly.

    The men kept their guns and one of them calmly replied, "We were sent here by our master, Lu Mello. We have been keeping an eye on Hana for a while now."

    Huang Li scoffed, "Keeping an eye on her? Looks like you''re pretty lousy with your job. Mello should replace you both."

    The men stood on their ground, their lips pursed. The reason why they didn''t come to Fan Xiao Yao''s place was because they thought that Hana was visiting the married couple just like how she usually did. No one expected that things would turn out this way. How should they know what was happening inside the house when they were outside?

    "The least you can do now is to take that bitch out of our sight before I do something worse to her and kill her."

    And so, one of the men brought the unconscious Hana with him. He was careful to bring her out since he didn''t want any paparazzi to capture them, making the situation even worse for his masters. Meanwhile, the other man remained in Huang Li''s house just to make sure Hana''s partner in crime won''t appear. He guarded the place while Huang Li brought his wife to tend to her wounds.

    "Yes, I''m fine. Don''t worry, Xiao Xi, I''m really fine. Huang Li came and saved me." Fan Xiao Yao said while talking on her phone. "Also the kids are alright. Mr. Zhou is guarding them too."

    A sigh coming from Shi Enxi was heard on the other side, "I can''t believe that dirty wench tried to kill you." She thought that Hana would lay low after framing her. She couldn''t help but think of the reason behind her attack on Fan Xiao Yao.

    "Well... It''s because she saw the kids."

    "So she''s after my sons now?! Is that it?!"

    "No. She''s only after Xiao Yu..." She trailed off.

    Huang Li who was quietly listening to their conversation frowned in confusion. Little Jade?

    "Yu''er? What has this to do with Yu''er?"

    "Hana is his real mother... And... She badly wanted to kill him."

    Shi Enxi became quiet in the line and so did Huang Li who was now looking at his wife in disbelief.

    "His... Real mother?" She asked, trying to make sure that she heard things right from Fan Xiao Yao.

    "Yes." Fan Xiao Yao sighed. Even she was shocked when she learned it from Hana. She couldn''t help but wonder why she wanted Little Jade dead. He was only a child. An innocent child who did nothing wrong. Why would she want to kill him?

    "She must be lying. How''s that even possible? Mello adopted Yu''er from an orphanage not from the streets."

    "I don''t know, Xiao Xi..."

    Hana could be lying but for some reason, Fan Xiao Yao didn''t think so. The look in her eyes was pure hatred when she mentioned her son. She wasn''t joking around when she said that she wanted to kill him.
