Hello, Mr Li Chapter 308 - Your forgiveness doesn't matter to us.

Sara knew that Medusa meant it. 

There was no way she was going to let her leave there alive after riling her up.

She thought the woman was probably dumb. Was she ever going to walk into the Lion's den empty handed or without a prior plan? 

"Oh... I'm so scared" Sara made a show of shivering before laughing out loud. 

"Aren't you curious about how I knew your secrets?" 

Truthfully, Melissa was. The Blacks were so good at hiding information that it took only the very best to be able to hack into it. But here, this annoying Sara even called her by her real name! 

She could not remember the last time she heard someone call her that name. Neither could she remember the last time somehow spoke to her this rudely.

"So... How did you know about it?" Medusa tried to sound indifferent when she asked. 

"You brought it to me, of course." Sara said as the smile disappeared from her face. 

"If you had not showed up in front of me, never would I have thought about digging up on you."

"Don't play smart with me little girl. No one lives to tell the story after annoying me." Medusa threatened once again.

"Just like your ex-husband I guess?" Sara added boldly while observing her intently.

"Does your recent husband know about it? About how you stabbed your own husband to death? I'm not sure he would be able to sleep well with his eyes closed."

Medusa's eyes darkened immediately. 

Before Sara knew it, the door opened and five men came in. All dressed in black. 

They stood in attention and patiently waited for Medusa to give her orders. 

As Sara looked at them, she smirked. "More like what that the Hans would do" 

"I am not a Han. Don't you ever call me that!" Medusa lost her cool and screamed for the very first time. 

"But that's your name. You also killed your ex-husband. You are into a lot of illegal stuff. And your brother is a gang leader." Sara spoke casually like she was talking to a friend about something entirely different. 

"You are going to die Sara Wang" Medusa assured her in a very angry voice. 

No one had ever annoyed her as much as Sara was annoying her now. 

"I cannot die in your hands. Have you forgotten who my boyfriend is?" She retorted boldly. 

"Li Muchen would never let you be if you hurt me." 

Medusa began to laugh immediately she heard her. All her tensed muscles relived her and she moved back to sit on the couch leisurely.

"I hate girls like you the most. Who run into trouble and expect your so-called boyfriends to come and save you. What do you intend to achieve by coming here? We all know that CEO Li Muchen broke up with you and fired you from being his sister's coach. There is no news I cannot find. So are you here because you wanted to die so badly?"  Medusa mocked with an amused expression on her face.

Sara frowned when she heard that. 

But deep down, she was joyous.

It was all a part of the plan and she knew they had bought it. It was not so difficult to trick spies.

"How...how did you know about it?" Sara stammered in shock. 

Medusa still found the entire thing amusing and began to laugh again. 

"You are really dumb. It's a good thing he broke up with you." 

Medusa said before crossing her legs casually.

Even if she was not going to get the painting again, at least she could get rid of Sara. And there was no powerful person beside her anymore. Since Muchen already broke up with her.

"It's because of you!" Sara yelled at her angrily.

"If you had not asked me to steal that painting, he would not have thought I was a thief and burned the painting. Neither would he have fired and throw me out!" Tears formed in her eyes as she accused Medusa.

Her reaction caused Medusa to laugh even more. "And you still dared come here? Do you really have a death wish?" 

Medusa thought it did not make sense that Sara was simply coming to only rile her up and complain. Or was she simply stupid?

"Lock her up. And wait for my orders" Medusa ordered the big men who had been waiting patiently for her orders.

As one of the men tried to grab her, she swiftly dodged him and the rest, and quickly appeared before Medusa. 

"Aren't you curious about the other things I know and who I have told?" Sara asked her as she continued to dodge from the men who were trying to catch her. 

Humans were naturally curious. Especially when it involved knowing things that related to them. 

Plus she was already tired of their cat and mouse chase. So Medusa agreed to listen.

"Alright. You should at least be useful before you die. Make sure you leave nothing out. I want to hear all of it" 

"Why did you kill him? Your husband I mean. Because of the domestic cases you filed but was not treated accordingly?" Sara was a bit calmer when she asked now. 

"Don't ask me stupid questions!" Medusa shouted at her. "I asked you to tell me something else. Not ask questions"

As much as she tried not to show it, she was obviously tensed. 

She knew that whoever knew about her affairs was not any ordinary person since they had been able to find such details about her. It meant that the person who did the diggimg on her with Sara was quite influential. And that was going to be a huge problem for her.

"Who else knows about this?" She asked again since Sara was still quiet.

"Someone" 

"Are you messing with me right now?" She asked impatiently in displeasure.

"I am going to die anyway. So why can't I just mess with you all I want?"

"Take her away. She is useless" Medusa said to the men in black.

As they were about grabbing her this time, she quickly opened her coat to show Medusa the device that was attached to her body.

Medusa vaguely knew what it was but she did not want to believe that Sara passed the detection without a bomb being detected on her body. 

It was very small and counted silently. She could see that it was currently reading 3:46

"We'll all die together." Sara said with a smile before turning to face the men who looked as shocked as Medusa.

"What are you waiting for? Quickly take her out of here now" Medusa ordered anxiously.

As they moved closer to Sara, she did not dodge this time. 

Anyone who touched her had a syringe to their necks. And before Medusa knew it, they were all lying on the floor, unconscious.

"It's a surprise that you smuggle ammunitions  without knowing much about them. This, cannot be detected." Sara said proudly while pointing at the device that was tied around her waist.

Medusa finally showed how frightened she was. 

She did not want to die with this crazy girl. 

"You want to kill yourself because your boyfriend broke up with you? I pity your father for giving birth to a child like you"

"Just like I pity your parents for giving birth to two useless children who slept with each other." Sara said with irritation.

You are both one big social problem." 

Medusa's eyes bulged out when she heard that. 

One, because Sara had just revealed something else that was top secret. Two, the timer was now 2:59

"Y..o..u! How dare you accuse me of something so preposterous." 

"I am glad you know it's prepresterous." 

"You better leave now. I am warning you." Medusa warned with a dark expression.

"Leave? Thought you didn't want me to? But sorry, like I mentioned earlier, we both die together."

Medusa was about to say something, when she heard her phone began to ring.

But the thing was, her phone was not with her. It was ringing close to where Sara was standing and she could not remember when Sara took it.

Sara took out Medusa's phone from her pant's back pocket and placed it on 'silent' before keeping it back on her pocket. 

"What are you doing with my phone?"  Medusa asked as she continued to press on the little remote in her hand that was supposed to alert more men come inside. 

But no matter how much and hard she pressed, no one appeared inside. She could no longer hide the fact that she was scared. She did not want anything to interrupt her plan especially now that something big was coming. Neither was she willing to die. The only one who was supposed to die was Sara!

Medusa looked for a way to escape, but there was no way she could run out through the front door since Sara was blocking her way. 

She knew now was not the time to act indifferently. It was the time to save herself. 

Quickly, she began to run further inside the penthouse.

Sara wasted no time before following her but she kept a fair distance.

As Medusa continued to run, she kept pressing some almost invisible buttons on the wall but still, no help came.

She entered a room and quickly opened the walk-in closet's door while throwing things at Sara to stay away. 

Sara watched as she quickly threw down a painting that was hanging on the wall.

When the painting dropped to the floor, she saw something like a light switch on the wall where the painting had been hanging.

In a hurry to get away from Sara before the explosion, Medusa pressed the switch and immediately, the wall slided open to reveal a dark secret room.

Never in Sara's life would she have thought that there was a secret door there.

As Medusa was about to run in, Sara finally appeared behind her and dragged her back with full force, which caused her to trip and fall. 

Sara looked down at the counter and counted the last numbers with it. 

"10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...0"

As Medusa closed her eyes to wait for death, she heard a phone begin to ring instead. 

It was Sara's.

Immediately Sara answered the call, she placed it on loudspeaker.

"Good Job" A male voice said to her. 

Sara smiled and ended the call immediately.

"What...what was that?" Medusa asked  in confusion and shock. 

Quickly, Sara pulled the timer from her body. "My little cousin makes use of this timer whenever she's doing her homework. How didn't you know that?" Sara laughed. 

"What did you do?" Medusa tired to get up from the ground but she could not because her ankle was hurting a lot, and she tried not to show that she was going through pain. 

"I was only buying time. Are you stupid? Even if I wanted to die with someone, it would be your brother. Why would I come in here and start having a long meaningless conversation with you?" 

"Not just your new arrivals, almost every illegal businesses you own, plus this hotel you run with criminals.  Everything is going down. I told you all I do not like to get angry. Your people even dared make my little cousin cry on the day she was supposed to be happy. This is my little payback for you all" She said with a dark look.

The only way to fully get the Blacks was to get rid of Medusa. If there had gone for the Blacks directly, Medusa was obviously going to help them out or probably use other organisations she supported. And aside from that, they wanted to know where their journals were kept. Since Medusa was more like Black's sponsor, they believed she would have most of the journals to prove she had been into illegal dealings.

Once Sara was done explaining to Medusa, some men who were dressed in army uniforms entered inside the walk-in closet.

At that point, Medusa knew she had been had. 

Even the door to her secret room where almost every of her journals and ledgers were kept was open. 

"Thank you for your help Miss Wang. The gang leader and some other members escaped but but we are certain they would be apprehended soon. But for now, we'll be assigning some men to guard you since we cannot have you stay at the Barrack as you are preparing for your wedding." A man who looked like a general said to her. He was around his early or mid forties.

As they spoke, two men had already pulled Medusa up and used an handcuff on her.

"Alright." Sara said with a smile before handing him Medusa's phone which currently had many missed calls and text messages.

Medusa was still stupefied by the whole thing.

She opened her mouth, but nothing came out.

She was even more shocked when Muchen suddenly came in and hugged Sara.

"There's no way in hell I'd ever allow you do something this dumb again." He said in relief as his hands tightened around her. 

As the men took her away, Medusa looked one more time at Sara and Muchen.

Was she really as evil as they saw her?

She had wanted a simple life also. 

After her parents died when she was still very young, she grew up alone with her brother. 

He had been like her father, brother, and friend. 

He did illegal things to support her and to send her to school. 

Although she did not like the fact that he did bad things, there was nothing she could do about it because she really needed to go to school and live like her mates. 

Along the line, she developed an abominable kind of feeling for her brother. 

He probably did too because he did not push her away when she made the first pass at him.

She had not wanted him to continue being in an organization and had asked him to leave with her to somewhere far, but he refused her saying that he wanted to be the leader so he could take good care of her. He dedicated his soul into that conquest and out of anger, she cut ties with him. 

That was when she got married to a terrible man who always beat her up. No matter the number of times she reported him to the police, they did nothing because he always paid them off.

When she could no longer take it, she went to her brother for help after years of being apart. At that time, he was already the leader of Black after killing the previous leader.

He made her swear to be a part of them passively. That way, he could fully protect her with his people and would make her powerful. 

When she agreed, it all resulted in her stabbing her ex-husband to death. From that moment, she knew there was no turning back. 

She also stopped using her name just like her brother who had also changed his name many years ago.

Many manipulation from her side with support from Fuji, she got into the Jin's household that was at the verge of collapse. 

It had been a simple deal. Father Jin would marry her, and they were going to raise the Jin corporation to the top with the Black's help.

Not just that, fifty percent of the profit from the Jin corporation would go to the Blacks for as long as the organisation continued to exist.

From the moment the Blacks helped the Jin corporation find their feet again, the Jin family became known. 

But now...

Here she was. Was her time of fame over?

She had been quiet for years. Did not go oit for any occasions, did not have friends.

She had lived quietly. 

But the first time she came out, because of a stupid painting she wanted to give to her father-in-law as a bribe so he would give them much of his inheritance.

Now, she was like this because of greed. 

Why did she come out?

Why did she meet Sara again?

Why did her father-in-law like that artist's painting in particular?

Why was that painting the only one left of that artist?

Why did she fall into Sara's trap?

So many whys in her head, but she was going to keep asking herself that question in prison.

Because as it was now, she was not seeing any hope of her ever coming out. 

Even her brother could not save her now..

"I won't ever forgive you" She said to Sara with glazed eyes.

"Your forgiveness doesn't matter to us" Muchen answered instead
