Chapter 21 - A breath away

Bai Meiyue had learnt and used a lot of tricks to survive in the post-apocalyptic world. If she hadn't, then before the zombie virus arrived, she would have lost her life in the hands of those who wanted to take advantage of her. 

Back then there were no resources, and people were so desperate that they started to eat human flesh. How many times had Bai Meiyue fallen in the hands of these people? How many times had she struggled and escaped? 

She could even kill those people when she didn't know how to fight and save her life. But now that she knew so many skills, could she not take care of Chen Yuya? 

With apparent ease, she continued to press down Chen Yuya's neck with her hand; at the same time, her finger never left the button on the side of the elevator, causing the two doors to press harshly on Chen Yuya's neck. 

Though Bai Meiyue was really weak now, she could still kill this woman if she wanted to. Just a bit more, and this woman would lose her puny life. 

The onlookers never expected that Bai Meiyue would suddenly go crazy like this; she had always been polite and gentle. Not once did she lose her temper at anyone, no matter how she was treated by them; for them, Bai Meiyue was like a rag that could be suppressed and stomped on at any moment. 

They were shocked at first, but then they screamed in horror. 

"Bai Meiyue, what are you doing? If you do this, Chen Yuya will be beheaded!" 

They saw how Chen Yuya's struggle started to get more and more feeble, and soon she couldn't even move a finger. Her legs and hands were jittering; she tried to kick her legs, but she was so out of breath that she couldn't even think of fighting against Bai Meiyue!

Bai Meiyue, however, didn't seem to notice anything. Instead of letting go of Chen Yuya, she pressed both opening and closing buttons, causing the elevator to open and then close. 

Crick. 

Crick. 

Crick. 

The horrible sound of the elevator doors opening and closing on Chen Yuya's neck echoed in the giant hall. 

"Bai Meiyue! Stop it! Stop it! Are you trying to kill someone here?" Lu Ling came running out. Earlier he wanted to see Bai Meiyue getting scolded and humiliated, which was why he did not stop Chen Yuya. 

But it was a completely different matter if she was trying to kill someone. 

If Bai Meiyue killed Chen Yuya, then his company would be involved. And once the investigation started, all sorts of things, including tax evasion and many other things, would come out in the open. 

He couldn't let this matter escalate any further!

He turned to his assistants and secretaries before shouting at them, "What are you doing? Why are you not stopping her? Are you waiting for someone to die?" 

Though he glared and yelled at them, no one moved. Chen Yuya went ahead and provoked Bai Meiyue and ended up getting taught such a vicious lesson. 

If they were to stop her, what if she did the same thing to them as well? 

Someone, heavens knows who, screamed behind her and said to Bai Meiyue, "You need to stop! She will die if you don't!" 

Bai Meiyue raised her head and coldly looked at the woman who spoke. Those who were morally condemning her just now were now standing far away. 

Only the secretary of Lu Ling was standing a bit close and looking at her with a stern yet terrified look on her face, 

"Bai Meiyue, you should let go of her. If you continue acting like this, then you will certainly kill someone. If that happens, then you will have to go to jail, no matter what complaints you have—you should use your words and not your hands." 

The secretary was worried that if Bai Meiyue didn't stop now, she would really kill Chen Yuya today. Though she agreed that Chen Yuya went too far with her words, there was no need to kill her! 

When the secretary saw that Bai Meiyue was not letting go, she couldn't help but say to her, "Bai Meiyue, hurry up and go. Or else we will have to call the security to stop you." 

Her threat was empty, but Lu Ling, who was standing behind a bunch of women, thought that it certainly worked. He could not involve the police as it would put his neck on the line, but if the security was to get involved then everything would be fine.

'She is quite bold,' thought Bai Meiyue as she looked down at Chen Yuya, who was just a breath away from dying, and pursed her lips before letting go of the woman. 

Chen Yuya keeled and fell on the floor. 

Bai Meiyue clicked her tongue and kicked her onto the side. 

Chen Yuya was in a sorry state. Her mouth was foaming, her eyes were rolled back in her sockets and her tongue was lolling out of her mouth. Though she looked like she had lost her sorry life, Bai Meiyue knew that this woman was still alive. 

Behind her, she heard the sound of someone tapping on the screen of her phone. Though the sound was rather light, she could hear it clearly. 

Bai Meiyue was surprised. Were her powers already awakening? If that was the case, then this was good. In a few weeks, the world was going to face the biggest disaster. 

If she awakens before the doomsday begins, then Bai Meiyue was confident that she would be able to protect her family. 

However, before that. 

She twisted on her feet and picked up the clutch that was lying beside Chen Yuya and hurled it at Lu Ling. 

The phone in his hands knocked down as Bai Meiyue glared at the man. "Don't even think about it." she threatened him. 

Her stance scared Lu Ling so much that he dropped his hands on his side without even moving to pick up the phone from the floor.
