Yang Zi took her stance ready to slice the neck of anyone who dared to stop her.

A hot fight ensued between the two parties. Those inside the warehouse were not aware of what was going on outside.

​​

Yang Zi and Feng Shu fought side by side like professional fighters that they are. Within the space of fifteen minutes, three men had fallen under the sharp daggers of Yang Zi.

Just then someone came out of nowhere and joined the team of Yang Zi and Feng Shu.

"Mr Jiang!" Yang Zi remarked in shock when she got a glimpse of the person's face.

"What the hell are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to protect my mum? If you had done that, this wouldn't have happened," Yang Zi said while fighting.

"Young Miss, let's focus on saving Madam first. You can question and even punish me after that, I won't blame you," Mr Jiang said. They deliberately did not use the gun in their possession for fear that it will alert others.

Ten minutes later, they all heard a gunshot coming from the warehouse. They all momentarily stopped fighting. Yang Zi's heart began racing rapidly. She could not control the rate at which it beat.

I just wish that something bad has not happened to mum.

Yang Zi thought as she attempted to run towards the entrance but the annoying men blocked her path. The next move she struck killed the one who stopped her at the spot.

Feng Shu's eyes widened in shock when she saw Yang Zi kill someone without even batting an eyelid.

"Anyone, who dares to stop me will die by my hands right now. I promise you that," Yang Zi said, as she tried to walk to the entrance again but one of the guys in black suits stopped her again.

After fighting with him for five minutes he fell dead.

"Anyone who dares to stop you guys, kill them all. That is an order," Yang Zi gave the order before she rushed into the empty storehouse. The scene she met when she entered the large room was one she will never forget in this lifetime.

Entering the large hall, the moment she raised her gaze, she saw Yifeng pointing a gun at her mum who was lying in her pool of blood.

Seeing this scene even from her afar, Yang Zi took two steps backwards. Her expression shows that this is not the person or scene she expected to meet.

For a moment, she was too shocked to react, she just stared at Yifeng still pointing a gun at her dearest mother. When she regained her senses, she ran to the upper side of the hall where Yifeng and Guangzhou were standing.

The force at which Yang Zi applied in pushing Yifeng away when she got to where he was standing was so great. He moved about five steps backwards. If she had applied just a little more force, Yifeng would have hit his head against the brick wall.

"Boss, are you..." Yifeng quickly signalled him not to utter a word when he saw Yang Zi hugging her mother tightly.

"Mum... Mum... This is your beloved Zi Er," Yang Zi said as warm tears trickled down her pretty face. The way she was trying so hard to force back her tears looked so painful.

"Mum... Your... Your unfilial Zi Er is sorry for arriving this late," Yang Zi said, as she hugged her mum tighter. She did not care that her mum was covered in her blood. All that was on her mind was to hug her mum and that is what she did.

Just then Yang Zi felt her mum moving her hands, she lowered her gaze to see whether what she felt was wrong. She smiled bitterly when she saw her mum struggle to open her eyes.

Seeing her usual bright mum looking so pale, her heart felt like it was stabbed by a dagger.

"My Zi Er is always the ugliest girl in the world whenever she cries so stop crying or mum is going to get upset," Mrs Yang said weakly. From the way she spoke, Yang Zi could tell that she was very weak.

"Mum, don't say that or else I will never be able to smile ever again in the future," Yang Zi said as she cupped her mum's face with her left hand. She tried her best to suppress her tears just for her mum.

Yifeng and Guangzhou watched this heart-wrenching scene with a pained look.

"Zi Er...," Mrs Yang coughed repeatedly before she could complete her words.

"I love you and Mi Er so much. After my husband's death, your entry into my life brought so much sunshine into my dark world. You gave me a shoulder to cry on. You taught me how to live again. I am only alive up to date because of you...," Mrs Yang coughed violently. After about two minutes of coughing, she coughed out a mouthful of blood.

"Mum, please stop talking. I will take you to the hospital I am sure you will be alright," Yang Zi said, as her tears resumed falling again. Mrs Yang slowly raised her weak hand to her face.

She gently wiped Yang Zi's tears.

"Zi Er, don't let my death weigh you down. You must live on for yourself and baby sister," Mrs Yang said painfully as tears trickled down her face.

"Mum, don't say that. You will be alright and it is you whom Mi Er wants and not me. She wants her beloved mother and not her sister so please don't say such heart-wrenching words to me," Yang Zi scolded as she held her mum's hands which are on her face.

"I love you so very much mum, so please don't leave Mi Er and me," Yang Zi said painfully. She gently stood up and tried to lift her mum.

The instant she tried to lift her, her mum's hand which was in her hand fell.

At that instant, Yang Zi's entire world came crashing down on her. Yang Zi shook her mum and kept pleading for her to wake up but no matter how many times she pleaded, Mrs Yang did not utter a word.

"No, this can't be happening... Nooo...," Yang Zi screamed in anguish. She broke down in tears with her mum in her embrace.
