"Of course not… of course not…" He said weakly.

"Say goodbye to your other eye then," Yue Niang warned, flinging him down to the floor with a loud thud. She grabbed her trusty makeshift stake and plunged down, only to find herself unable to do so, because someone was holding her back.

"Mom, what are you doing? Don't tell me you're really going to…" Tai Xuan whispered, horrified as he pulled his mom's hand away.

When Tai Xuan first looked at the men, both of them had gouged eye sockets that were steadily bleeding. It was something he never expected to see in real life, and it made his stomach turn. Dinner had threatened to emerge from his throat, but in the heat of the moment, he didn't bother to think how this man had gotten this injury.

Now he knew.

His mom did it! How was that possible! He eyed the weapon in her hand - oh my goodness, she had used part of his sister's desk chair to gouge out a man's eye! The whole thing was still dripping blood. He retched, and his mother took this chance to escape from his hold, leaving him bewildered. When was his mother so skilled at things like these?

Tai Xuan could only stare at his mom in confusion. He wanted an explanation for her brutal behaviour.

Instead his mother patted his shoulder and replied.

"Targeting the eyes of your opponent is an important skill you need to learn for self-defence! If you can't handle it, go stand outside and keep watch. Or get Ming Guang here," Yue Niang instructed.

"Mom?" Tai Xuan repeated faintly. Was this woman even his mother? Or was his mother always this woman?

"I need him to tell me about his plan with the restaurant." Yue Niang said, a nasty glint in her eye. She gave him a dismissive look. "If you're not going to help, don't get in the way."

,m "Why… how…" Tai Xuan could only blink, helpless at the new knowledge that his mother was a genius at interrogation. This definitely wasn't something you could claim as self-defence!

"Now you see why I say your mother is a monster?" Ding Fei added, scoffing at the appalled look on the man's face as he slowly walked away, staggering in shock.

"Ha, you better think twice, you're going to lose your son if you kill me."

"If I don't stop you, I'll lose all of them." Yue Niang retorted, her eyes flashing coldly as she twirled the stake in her hand, droplets of blood splattering all over the room. Cleaning up would be difficult, but it certainly worked as an intimidation tactic, for Ding Fei lost his earlier cheek and was now scuttling against the wall, trying to get away.

Yue Niang kicked him in the head, causing him to fall.

"So… are you going to talk now?"

=====

Tai Xuan tried not to listen out for the sound of a body hitting the floor as he walked away from the room. He knew that it was most likely the kidnapper who was injured, and said kidnapper was a criminal, but he felt the strangest stirrings of pity for him.

It was easier to think about that, than to think about his mother and all her actions. But try as he might, he couldn't shake the cold, deadly glare from his mind. His mother, for all the times she'd been angry, had never seemed so calculatingly cruel! This was an attitude more suitable for evil masterminds, not his sweet caring mother!

Shaking his head, he quickly looked for Ming Guang, only to find him planted in front of the bathroom door, standing guard. There was a chair lodged in front of the bathroom door, preventing the door knob from turning.

Tai Xuan could hear the outraged yelling from behind the closed door, as well as the sound of someone throwing themselves against the door to open it. Whoever was trapped inside was clearly a monster!

"Ming Guang! What are you doing? What happened to your arms? Did you get attacked by the kidnapper?"

"No." Ming Guang said wearily. "I got attacked by Miss Li."

"Wait… so that means that… the monster was his sister?!

10 MINUTES AGO…

At Li Yue Niang's first scream, he immediately went to protect Miss Li. He wanted to rush to Sun Jingwei's side, but Sun Jingwei would be safer at the restaurant. Li Xue Ning was the one in greater danger!

"Mom!" Xue Ning was in the midst of showering, but at the sound of her mother screaming, she immediately turned off the shower and burst out from the bathroom, preparing to help - only to be greeted with Ming Guang's impassive face the moment she opened the door.

"Please get back inside, Miss Li," Ming Guang said, refusing to let his eyes drift towards anywhere that wasn't her face.

"No! I want to help!"

"You're naked with soap suds all over you!" Ming Guang protested hotly, internally facepalming. Sun Jingwei and Li Xue Ning deserved each other - both had equally deficient senses of self-preservation. "Are you planning to blind the robbers with your naked body?"

Xue Ning spluttered, but she sensed the wisdom in his words. Her face burned and she whirled back into the bathroom, slamming it shut. Ming Guang could hear the shower begin again.

He knew that she'd be out in a flash the moment she was clean and dry, so he ran to grab a spare chair. He quickly planted himself back in front of the toilet door, and true enough, she was out again, ready and raring for a fight!

"Stop that, get back inside!" Ming Guang demanded, shoving her back into the bathroom, with limited success. It was like battling an angry wet cat! "Don't come out!"

Xue Ning snarled angrily, clawing at his arms as she tried to free herself. "My mother is in trouble! I need to help her!"

"Your mother is fine!" Ming Guang said, even if he didn't know for sure. The fact that no strange men were storming out of her room demanding valuables was a sign that she had things under control.

"How do you know?" Xue Ning asked, pausing in confusion.

Ming Guang took this chance to shove her back inside, slamming the door on her, ignoring her shrieks of protest and the way her fists beat against the door in outrage. He quickly used the spare chair to block the door, and he stood in front of it protectively, until Li Tai Xuan stumbled upon him.
