CHAPTER 755 – Frightened

Her lips clamped shut after a minute of screaming her lungs out.

Her heart leapt into her throat; her eyes still focused on the plate beside her. Her breathing was ragged.

The thudding of her heart against her chest was loud enough to burst her eardrums. Still, it did not stop what she saw or change the sight.

Bai Qing Mei retracted her hand, clutching it close to her chest. Her eyes did not move. Her fear rose, marring her pretty face with it.

It was different. Her plate. Her fruits.

Some seconds pa.s.sed, and it was still the same thing.

Left with no choice, she chose to brace up and check.

.....

‘Qing Mei, you can do this. Stand strong no matter what, brace up. Do not let your fear in. What did mum tell you?’ She chanted inwardly.

Replaying her mother’s words in her mind, she found her heartbeat began to calm down.

Bai Qing Mei kept her mind strong and checked whether what she saw was authentic or not. It looked that way but she could not say.

Slowly, her fingers moved down towards the plate, her breathing completely still as they proceeded further.

Finally, she touched the top of a strawberry, staining the tip of her fingernails with the liquid acting as a saucer on her fruits.

Wasting no time, she brought her fingers back up, close to her face and when she rubbed them together, the truth finally became clearer.

Her face was ashen with shock.

Her eyes were wide as though they could fall from her sockets any second from now as her heartbeat sped exponentially fast in her chest.

“Blood.”

Immediately the look on her face changed to one of fright and disgust and the next thing her brain could do again was scream. And this time she did so more loudly than before.

Hearing the ear-deafening sound of the young miss of the Bai family, the young man who was dressed in one of the worker’s outfits of the Bai’s residence, smiled to himself as he pressed down on the handle of a door towards the far end of the corridor and entered.

He went straight for the mirror in the room, casting a glance at it and his reflection.

Nodding his head, he picked up a black nylon bag he kept hidden in the room, peered inside and gave a satisfied smile.

Quickly, he got out a black bag, opened it and brought out a black nose mask, changing it with the white one he had on.

He proceeded to take off his hand gloves, replacing them with a new piece from the bag and kept all of the used items back in the bin nylon and got ready to leave.

“One, two, three.”

Soon enough the sounds of footsteps, running in the corridor, all seemingly heading to the room he had left from resonated in the house.

His smile broadened in his mask, spilling into his eyes at the triumphant victory he had.

He was sure that with the kind of scream she had and knowledge of the past episode of breaking in, there would hardly be a soul who would not be heading straight in this direction to save the young miss.

At the very least, he was sure that plan was a success. He leaned down and picked up the waste nylon, properly keeping his equipment and bag in as he proceeded to the window.

Sliding the window open, the young man carefully glanced around.

He first made sure there were no security men walking in the area from which he was jumping out before making his escape.

Putting a leg on the ledge, he went through the window and carefully made his way down.

This kind of job was no new feat to him and thus was as easy as anything he had faced.

All that was left was to continue as a worker and take the trash out, from there, he planned on loading things and using one of the vehicles outside of the residence.

All of his plans went well with everybody in the house trying to calm the young miss who till now, never stopped screaming.

“Aaaaahhhhh!”

“Miss, please.”

“Young Miss please calm down. It was only a nightmare,” he heard one of the workers in the residence say.

They were all doing their best not to scare her further and pacify her scared soul. Still, she refused to listen and screamed non-stop.

“Idiots, getting that plate out of the way should have been your first act in saving her stupid brain,” the young man muttered as he gazed up at the window of her room.

“What are you standing there for?” He heard the head butler yell out. “Get that d.a.m.n plate out of her sight and clean up everywhere,” he ordered again.

“Yes sir.”

“Young Miss, please calm down. We will see what can be done. When did this happen?”

Bai Qing Mei could not speak. She did not know what the first word to say would be considering the last time she was warned not to talk else her grandfather’s life would be in danger.

Howbeit, recalling this new attacker never said anything, she decided to speak.

With a shaky voice, she looked up at the Butler and muttered. “N-now-w.”

“Huh?”

“N-now. Call my mum,” she uttered quickly, clutching hard on his arm.

“Fast where is the person I asked to place a call to the madam? Call her now! Inform security. Check everywhere. If this happened now, he must not have gotten far.”

“Yes sir.”

“Who knows he may still be in the residence. Do a thorough check. Have the gates closed. Let no one out or in.”

Hearing this, he clicked his tongue against the rough of his mouth and shook his head. “Too late.”

Looking ahead, he was but a few footsteps away from the vehicle planned for his escape. “Bingo.”

Just as he was about to take the next step forward, he heard the bold call of a man behind him. “Hold it right there!”
