He got out and gave the keys to Lei and said, “Find whose jeep is this and get me all the details related to it. Also look into this license plate number and find me whose car is it. Hunt them down.” Hui handed a piece of paper with the mentioned license plate number.
“Yes Boss, I will work on it.”
As they walked into the building Hui stopped midway turned around and told him, “One more thing. Look into a person called Mei. Get me all the details you can get about her. Don’t leave out any details. Do you get me?”
“Boss, I don’t think I will be able to dig deeper with just one name.”
“Ah… That is right”
“We have no clue

Mei didn’t utter a word as she stood there staring a hole at Xue. Not knowing what to do Xue just pulled out an awkward smile before continuing with the phone call.Mei ignored it as she walked to the kitchen to grab a glass of water.“How is Mei?” asked Su Lin from the other end.“What do you think? You should have an idea?”“It was my mistake.”“You are always ready to apologize but also the first one to hurt her. How could you even think of something like that? I really don’t want to spend another minute on you. If you wanted to know about her you called up the wrong person. I’ll leave you here.”She hung up the phone and looked around to see Mei exit the kitchen.“Mei!”Mei turned around to see her walking towards her. “What did he call for? Routine Checkup or what?”“You could probably say that. Anyways what are you up to

The moonlit night created an ambience for healing and relaxing. She took a turn into the alleys and went where her legs took her.After searching up Hui she understood the farther she was away from him the safer she would be.

Hui had impulsively decided to head to her place to return the jeep. It was halfway that he thought about her staying back at Xue’s place. Therefore, he was not expecting to run into her. This unanticipated situation that leads to their encounter brought him a millimeter of joy. He wanted to know her more. As she turned around to leave, he called her out, “Wait!” She looked back at him. He was fidgeting not knowing what to say. Just then he saw her bandage turn to a darker shade of red. “Bl.. Bloo.. Blood” “Wha-” before she could question what he was saying she felt something trickle down from her forehead. She lifted her fingers and brushed the side of her forehead. She saw blood on her fingers. Irritated she rubbed it of with her sleeve. ‘I should have been a bit more careful. Where the hell did, I hit my head.’ Before she could complete cleaning, her forehead Hui grabbed her hand and pulled her along his direction. She struggled to
Don't Take Me Lightly 1. SCARS ARE HARD TO HEAL
The dream flashed through...the tightly held hand loosened its grip before it started to slide away. The doctors rushed and occupied their position. "The pulse has dropped" alerted the nurse. "CPR. CPR" ordered the doctor. Everything was falling apart. The chaos didn't seem to disturb her anymore. His last words kept ringing in her ears like an echo. ********* "Over-Over-Over-Wake-up-Wake-up-Over-Over-Over" repeated the alarm. The Deep long curtains seem to hide the passage of time making it hard to differentiate day and night. Even though the bed seemed much cozier than yesterday she gave up the fight to sleep again. It was another weekday and another workday to get started with. The dark shades of dresses in her closet didn't seem to make any difference from each other. She took out the usual shade of black and laid them on the bed and walked to the washroom to take a shower. The vapors ga
Don't Take Me Lightly 2. A WAR OF WORDS
She was always ahead of time. So was she today. To her, punctuality meant 5 - 15 minute before the decided time. The buzzing designing office settled down sensing her arrival.She was seen as a heartless figure by her subordinates. Her 16-inch long wavy jet-black hair was only meant for her, her black pupils hid the unknown giving out no clue of anything. She wore no expressions, the only thing she wore was confidence. She wore it like an armor which made her aura strong and unique.Her cold expressions with this unbeatable aura made her unapproachable.She headed straight to her cabin. She was followed by her assistant, Ai Chyou, on her way. Chyou recited the first few tasks of the day to get started with."Hmmm....One strong espresso with a pack of sweetener." she responded before parting ways with Chyou. Chyou left for preparing her request.She closed the door behind before taking her seat comfortably and settling down for work.

Ling was totally taken aback by what just happened. There were no words that could help him climb up the shock that he just received. Standing in the room made him look like a fool who dug a pit for himself. He didn't want to spend another minute here.He left the the room without a word. He wanted to pay her back for what she did.As she pushed open the door of her cabin she was welcomed with another uninvited superior.As she walked towards her chair, she questioned, "Chyou, seems like appointments hold no value when it comes to position and status. Don't you think Mr. Su?""Meilin, I am sorry for coming in without letting you know. I just wanted to talk to you." said Lin as he hoped that she would not turn him down again."Mr.Su Lin, I don't think we are close enough for you to address me in such a way. Also, I would prefer to keep all our conversations formal and work-related. If it is something beyond my requirements lets leave it here."

As Chyou turned to exit she was hold up by Meilin as she asked, "Any update about what I asked you to look up?"She turned around to reply," The CCTV cameras have all been checked at the location you mentioned. None of them has spotted the figure you mentioned except for one.""Send me all the information about the location that holds the footage.""Yes, I understand.""No word should go out about this.""I will make sure."As Chyou exited the cabin she thought 'what does boss has to do with the footage. Strange.'As soon as she received the information, Meilin took her laptop and hacked into system with the footage. She cleared everything leaving no trace of it. Then she busied herself with work.She wanted to get done with the day. She always wanted to leave the company but due to the contract with Su Lin she was tied down to stay. She was waiting for the day when she could leave everything here behind. 'Just a year more' she

The girl darted her eyes around. Hoping for a way to escape. As her back hit the wall, the filled up tears slowly flowed out. Her breaths turned rapid. There were around five to six hooligans cornering her."She sure is a good catch." commented one of them.The other all agreed as they chuckled seeing the desperate situation of the girl.She froze for a moment. She fell of her knees and covered herself protectively with her hands. She had her head down and she spoke with her trembling the voice, "Please, let me go. Please" her sobs made the entire situation more interesting for the hooligans."How could we? We don't let chances pass this easily." replied one of them.The girl cried helplessly after hearing them.Meilin watched; her blood boiled seeing the situation. She calculated the situation and drew a rough sketch, after all this wasn't too hard of a situation to deal with. Alley between a club and a closed storage building. The night wa

Don't Take Me Lightly 20. NO MORE HERE
Mei pondered about the events that happened as she ate her sandwich. She got up and went into the kitchen to grab a glass of water. She decided not to waste her time and give up her thoughts to go get a good nap. On the way to the room, she bumped into a table nearby. As the books on the table fell on the floor an old photo slipped out from one of the books. She slowly bent down to pick it up. A single tear escaped from her eye as she looked at the picture.The picture had a lively feeling. A man held a child high up in the air and a lady was sitting on the ground looking at you and waving. It seemed like she was calling someone to join her. Mei stood there not moving.Xue had come around hearing the sound. She was met with the sight of Mei looking at the picture longingly.“Mei…”Despite the call she didn’t make a movement.“I still can’t get over it, Xue. It still hurts….. I still see them in my sleep.

The heavy aura covered the room with pin drop silence. No one uttered a single word. As Su Lin rested in the tall wingback chair with creased eyebrows beads of sweat slowly formed in the forehead of the people surrounding him. Everything that happened was not within his calculations. He was not even able to complete a quarter of his plans. It all went awry. He contemplated what to do next to fix this mess. As he got into his line of thoughts, he got interrupted by the loud noise that came from opening the doors. He turned his head to see Bohai barge in through the doors. He clearly seemed irritated and ready to take out all his frustration. He slowly leaned back to take in what was coming. “What the hell did you do? Did you just let her go like that?” “No. I didn’t let her go. She escaped.” “You know the mess you have created right.” “It is not something to stress on. We could just try harder.” “Despite how calmly you are stayi

Mei was already tired with everything that happened. She really wanted to take a nap. She knocked at the door as Hui stood by her side keeping a distance. It didn’t take a while for the door to flung open. “OMG! What happened? Did the sun rise in the west? Why are you coming throug-” Mei immediately held her hand over Xue’s mouth not letting her complete the sentence. Then she whispered near her ear, “Keep it in we got company.” Xue immediately looked around to find someone standing a few meters away from her. Standing a bit taller than the average he had an athletic build. His tanned skin gave of a warm and friendly backdrop. She traced her sight back to Mei with wide eyes, “Where did you pick him up from?” “Not me, it was the other way around.” Saying so she pushed her aside and walked into the apartment. “What do you mean? He picked you up?” she followed behind her resuming the convo. Hui tried to pick up whatever was happen
Don't Take Me Lightly 17. A STEP CLOSER
The atmosphere seemed a bit tense. Mei always hated the idea about relying on someone. So, Hui’s intrusion was kind of irritating for her. “Anyways, you will have to get admitted tonight. You have lost quite an amount of blood and you are weak with all the added wounds. I suggest you lie down for the night and leave tomorrow morning.” said the nurse. Hui asked for the forms to fill for her stay only to come across her rejection over and over. The nurse couldn’t resist glancing at them. “You know fights happens; you don’t have to drag it when you are sick. It will only make it worse.” advised the nurse throwing a meaningful glance at the two. Mei gave up realising that it was better to rest. He completed the papers and headed towards her bed. Only to find her fast asleep with her guard down. “She looks much more approachable with her eyes closed.” He found a comfortable spot and closed his eyes. ***** The early m
Don't Take Me Lightly 16. THE CONFRONTATION
Mei held her head as a sudden wave of pain hit her. Hui closed in seeing her action, “Hey you alright?”.He met a face stained with blood and he could see a small trail of red making its way down from her forehead. Before he could act his eyes turned towards the beam of light that grew brighter.He immediately picked her up from the ground, “I am sorry, I can explain my actions later but right now we need to get out of here.” Her head was throbbing with pain leaving her no way to repulse his actions. He headed towards the parked jeep, laid her in the back seat and he sat behind the wheel. He turned on the engine and slowly drove towards the direction of the incoming vehicle. As he drove past the vehicle right around the curve, he ensured to obstruct his face view. He kept an eye through the rear-view mirror until they got farther away.Mei slowly observed his actions. Her suspicion grew seeing his actions and she raised her guard up. He h
