Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 42 Assassination

*A few hours ago*

Yan Mei looked at Lei Zhao as he slept underneath his covers. The white pillows and white hospital suit brought out his features making him look gentle and pure. The wounds on his head had been covered with bandages. Brushing a hand over his forehead, Yan Mei placed a soft kiss on his forehead.

She was damn tired, she hasn't slept properly for the past two days and the fear of losing Lei Zhao had taken a toll on her mentally. Now that he is okay, she wants to take a bath to release all the stress she has gone through.

Yan Mei stared at Lei Zhao for a couple of minutes and smiled softly. He had fallen asleep while they were arguing about who was going to take revenge on the person who had hit him.. Yan Mei knew he was tired and probably feeling sleepy when they were arguing but he didn't want to sleep. He claimed he wanted to spend time because he missed her while he was unconscious.

"Stupid." Yan Mei whispered as she shook her head helplessly. She looked at her watch and saw it was late. She decided to quickly go home to take a bath and comes back before Lei Zhao wakes up.

****

Yan Mei rubbed her shoulders as she removed her shoes and walked towards the bedroom. She started a bath before she stripped out of her clothes. Once the tub was filled, Yan Mei got into the scorching hot water. Her tense muscles relaxed as she lowered herself further inside. She leaned her head against the edge of the rail, closed her eye, and let out a deep breath.

The scene of Lei Zhao passing out still vivid in her mind. Fortunately, nothing bad happened. She lathered her hair with shampoo enjoying the lavender scent. Her shoulders relaxed and felt the hot water soothe her muscles.

Twenty minutes later, she dried herself with a towel and walked towards the bedroom. Yan Mei tied her hair into a messy bun and put on a hoodie and sweatpants. She frowned when she heard a loud thud outside the door.

The door of the bedroom was kicked in revealing a man with an angry look with a gun. When he entered he saw Yan Mei sitting on the bed with a bored look on her face.

The men frowned when he saw her sitting lazily on the bed. He looked at her with a puzzled look on his face. Shouldn't she be afraid and scream? This woman was really interesting.

"Hmm. I wasn't really expecting anybody to have the guts to send someone to kill me." Yan Mei said lazily as her eyes glittered with wickedness.

The man frowned when she glanced at him with no sense of surprise.

"Stand up, turn around and place your hands on your head." The man ordered her with a glare which made her smirk grow wider in amusement.

"And if I don't?" Yan Mei questioned sarcastically, a smirk evident on her lips.

"Shut up and turn around!" The man was clearly annoyed. He was a known ruthless assassin who cause people to shiver just by the mere sight of him. But this woman had completely disregard him the moment he entered this door. He was really angry at her for treating him like that.

Women are supposed to fear men and pleased them, the man thought as he admired her beauty. Her hair was tied in a messy bun with some curls falling on her face.

"Okay, at least tell me who wants to kill me. I deserve to know the person who wants me dead before I die right?" Yan Mei batted her eyelashes at him with a seductive smile on his face.

The man walked closer to her. An amused grin on his face. This woman was really alluring too bad he has to kill her. She didn't even look frightened at the thought that he can kill her right here.

"I will tell you if you get on your knees and give me a good head. I might even leave you a full body."

Yan Mei smiled playfully when she heard him. She was really mad right now.

"You shouldn't have said, now I'm mad." Yan Mei tutted with a smirk.

"The last man who told me such filthy words, had his tongue cut while he was still alive."

Before the man could comprehend what she just said, a needle flew in his direction and pricked his neck."

The man felt his body paralyzed the moment the needle hit him. His eyes widened in fear as he fell onto his knees. He tried to fix his blurred vision as he spoke.

"You..no it can't be. You can't be her!" There is only one person known for her legendary usage of the Chinese needle to kill her enemies in just one stroke. If the man knew Yan Mei was the one, he wouldn't have taken this job! The man thought bitterly before he died.

Yan Mei snorted when she saw the fear in the man's eyes before he died. She really hates men who don't value women.

Yan Mei picked up her phone and dialed a number.

"Hello?" A man said huskily on the other end of the phone. He seemed to be doing vigorous work when Yan Mei called.

Yan Mei : I have a dead body in my room. Send someone to clean it up.

The man: …..

Yan Mei: Also, I want to know who sent him in the next thirty minutes.

Yan Mei hung up the call and sighed.

The man looked at his phone in a daze for a few minutes before he realized what had just happened. He hurriedly got up from the woman who was buried underneath him and run a frustrated hand through his hair.

"Where are you going?" The woman pouted as she asked. The man ignored her as he hurriedly got dressed and left the room.

He bitterly cursed at the person who made his boss interrupted him in the middle of such an important thing.

He wouldn't let the person go if he finds him or her.

*****

"Please let me go." A woman whispered as she hyperventilated, tears constantly running down her eye.

This woman was the same person who had hit Lei Zhao last time.

"Should I?" Yan questioned and chuckled evilly.

"P-please." The woman pleaded as she stared at Yan Mei, fear written all over her face.

Yan Mei smiled darkly and looked at her nails.

"Do you know what you did? You hurt someone you shouldn't have." Yan Mei said blankly as she looked up at the woman.

"Please, I'm sorry. I didn-" the woman swallowed her words when Yan Mei's cold eyes peered at her.

Yan Mei tugged her tongue at the corner of her cheeks and looked at the woman with no emotions in her eyes.

"Do you want to know how I found you?" The woman bit her lips as she stared at Yan Mei.

Yan Mei chuckled, "when you sent someone to kill me, you never thought I will find you right?"

The woman's eyes widened in fear and she took a step back.

"How did you-".

"Find out?" Yan Mei interrupted her as she stood up from the chair she was sitting on.

She blew a whistle and a man came inside.

The woman looked at the man who just came in and her lips started trembling. She doesn't know why but she had a bad feeling in the depth of her stomach.
