If She Survived, She'll Be Dead

The soil felt moistened beneath her heels cause of the early rain. The air was mixed with the fragrance of plants the night breezes slightly chilled her. There were swooshes by her ears as she walked opposite the directions of the wind and began to climb the wet stairs.

Mei Xing looked around. It was extremely quiet in the cemetery. A gust of wind blew, dripping of raindrops on the leaves could be heard.

At the peak, when she saw a faint silhouette of a standing man with his broad shoulder towards stairs as he stood there gazing the city lights in a far distance her legs took the pace as she hastened on the stairs eager to meet her lover.

It's been more than a decade, Mei Xing was sent abroad for studies and she returned to China a few months ago.

In the evening, Zhang Han messaged her to meet him tonight at the cliff, and now she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

'Please, God! No more surprises.'

From the day she returned, Zhang Han had been giving her surprises almost every day. Candlelight dinners, late-night musical shows and taking her for the outing and giving her gifts was their daily routine. These past few months she was entirely preoccupied with him while spending most of her time with him.

Mei-Xing never imagined, there's a man who loved her more than anyone in this world, he dotes her more than her father, cares for her more than her mother. Since childhood till now, he loved her the most. And all these years staying apart he didn't change a bit.

Sometimes, she wonders how could a person love this deeply? She is everything for him!

Hurriedly, Mei Xing's steps speed up, her heels clicking while hastening and climbing on the stairs. She couldn't wait to see him. Her lips curled, she felt her heart smiling like an idiot.

While in the states for years, Mei-Xing disremembered his promise to marry her when she grows up. At that time she was five and doesn't even know what does marriage means. So it's natural to overlook that. Afterward, she was fully occupied with her exquisitely pact-lifestyle in the states.

But today she felt a bit nervous and a lot giddy because tomorrow her father is going to make the public introduction of Mei Xing to the world. She'll get the recognition of being his daughter and the heiress. It will also be a new beginning of her life, with an official announcement of her marriage and been engage to CEO of the Zhang groups. Tomorrow is a big day for her. After this event, it will be her destination wedding within a month.

Swoosh...

Mei-Xing abruptly stopped. She felt shockwave like something brushed, passed right by her sides. Within that fraction of second, she heard a striking yet faint sound of something hitting a tree trunk like an arrow was hit. She wasn't sure and didn't hear it clearly when the noise caused by the giggling leaves with the strong wind was more intense and noisy.

She stood there like a statue. 'What was that?' She thought to venture about that noise. Too bad she can't see that far away in a dark cloudy night.

Mei-Xing turned while pointedly gazing at her left side where she heard the sound, shortly she turned to take a look in the opposite side. With narrowed eyes, she tried to examine her surroundings discreetly but the trees were dense and dark with the dim street light only on the right side of stairs.

A deep frown befalls on her head. 'Was that...?'

Then the next moment, she shook her head and paused her line of thoughts. 'Whatever! Don't overthink.'

Forget it! Might be some nighty creatures.

Inspecting for a while, Mei Xing took a deep breath before proceeding towards her destination right up at the hill. Her heart began to thump loudly.

Earlier, She wasn't a bit scared while passing through the lonesome cemetery in a remote place then why to be scared of nocturnal animals.

Is Zhang Han wants to scare her as he often chooses the lonesome places to romance but a graveyard? Weirdo!

Nearing towards the man in the dark, she was exhausted while breathing heavily. It's been months she had a run on staircases.

"Z-Zhang Han?" She breathes out his name gently trying to catch her short breaths and slowing the pace. From a distance when she almost saw the man's outline, she felt amiss.

Woosh...!

Inherently, a wind piercing sounds like a bullet traveling with lightning speed. Before Mei Xing could seize the situation. Zooop...a sharp bullet pierced her skull right between her brows.

"Gotcha!" behind the scene, a man with blonde hairs sneered releasing his finger from the trigger of the quietest sniper rifle.

" Wh...?"A throbbing pain engulfed Mei-Xing. Her vision blurred, unfocused. Hot blood overspread on her features dyeing the lovely face of the girl with blood before she could see the man's features. Within a few seconds, a dead body fell on the wet ground with a loud thump!

An evil smirk towed at the corner of his lips, the man been tall and proud turned over to see her fall, under the shadow of a lamppost his eyes shone, thrilled to see her dead. Slowly, he walked towards her dead body as she thumped down heavily. Her eyes were wide open with flash no life. A bullet bored between her thin brows looks like a hole drilled. He crotch down to take a close of her haunting yet beautiful but dead eyes.

"Damn! She was lucky before," the blonde-haired man said after coming out of hiding. A heavy load of a gun on his right shoulder as he said confidently "otherwise, she won't be able to reach the peak, my Lord."

But the person he was speaking to was entirely dazed.

...

Outside the Hospital,

A black Maybach with a high speed rushed through the emergency gate of VIP.

Almost everything was prepared beforehand, possibly the best team of Doctors was gathered who awaits the patient. The car door opened. A specialist nurse rushed forward to support while cautiously handling the bleeding body. Taking to the operation room.

...

Outside the operation theatre, a man stared at the huge white doors that were shut close. He glanced at the red light above the door's crest and his face turned pale with fright.

If anything happens to her...

No!

Meanwhile, inside the operation theatre, a girl's lifeless body lay on the operating table as the Doctor's team working their best to save her life. She had lost a lot of blood but the cut wasn't too deep.

Beep.....beep! The machine gave a warning.

Being warned, the doctors tried to restrain. The waving lifeline on the patient's monitoring system moderately began to stretch flat. Profusely sweating, Doctor's attempted to stabilize the patient but missed.

beeps...........!

Their breaths hitched. In the frightful silent ward, only the endless and eternal beep could be heard.

"DEAD!?" Utterly disappointed, a Doctor called.

Doctors looked at each other and after a few exchanges of the words and checked before confirming with a nod. Dejectedly, they turn to leave while the nurse switched off the focusing light on the dead body and the girl's pale face with a sheet. Whereas, Doctors were removing their gloves and discussing the cause of death in hush tones. At such a moment, suddenly, the dead body jolted and slumped back sucking a long breath. The cloth heaved on her chest and face with her shallow breathing.

Beep, beep,...

Breaking the silence, the patient's monitoring system gained a distinct beeping sound of the patient's heartbeat. The lifeline began to wobble again onscreen. Astonished by hearing the low pulse rate, everyone turned back and hurriedly got back to operate.

Outside the White Door:

"Second Master," bowing her head deeply a lady in her late twenties greeted the young man seated like a statue.

The man turned over his expression dark and he asked in a heavy tone. "How did this happen?" his voice as freezing as his appearance.

Instantly, The Manager's expression changed, she didn't dare to delay to justify herself anymore, " S-Second Master, It was an accident.",

" After the party, as usual, I dropped Li Na to the Villa. Inrush, she forgot her cellphone on the backseat. I noticed when a message came in. I wasn't that far. So to return the phone I went back." the manager felt a huge lump in her throat as the tears flooded.

"But...when I reached the residence none of the servants was there. The doors were also opened. So, I enter and knock her room's door, the door opened slightly a-and I saw..." the lady started to cry while speaking. " I-I j-just saw her back and-and she was holding the gun on her temples. I rushed in to snatch the gun..." She covered the sniffling face filled with catastrophe. "...s-she fought back."

Suicide!

Li Na attempted suicide.

What was she thinking? Does she really wants to die that badly!

"I-I pulled the gun forcefully...To stop her I pushed her. T-then blood... She was bleeding, I-I d-don't know h-how she..." the lady slumped on her knees crying and blaming herself profusely. Only crying.

Lu Junhui waved his hand for the bodyguard to take away the kneeling woman. Taking deep breaths, Lu Junhui wiped off the sweat from his brow as he presses a few buttons on his phone to make a call.

"Li Na. Li Na. This is nonsense! Utter nonsense...Stupid Girl! Idiot. I have to tell, Brother." he said defeatedly. She really made Lu Junhui call his brother for her.

'Even if she survived, surely she'll be dead after this.'
