Before retreating to the kitchen, Su Meng and others pickup their chopstick and took a bit of dumpling as they chatted away. Old Xu lifted his Soy milk and was about to take a sip, Su Meng who was talking to Jiao eyes widened as a peculiar smell drafted through his nozzles.

In the next moment the glass in Old Xu's hands was knocked to the ground, instantly then room fell into tense atmosphere as everyone stood up and look at Su meng and then at Old Xu's reaction, perplexed Old Xu look at meng with confusion and a hint of dissatisfaction. Not paying any heat to other's Su meng turned towards the su family butler stating

His fury evident as his gaze turned cold and murderous scanning the crowd in front of him, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief as they exchanged glances before looking at old Xu Old Xu smiled at them dryly. Mean while the staff started murmuring as they shook their heads in denial Meng walked over as he sniffed the scent in the air as he passed by each and every member. Su Meng paused for a second in front of a young girl in her 20's with a brown hair and fair completion before taking a step back coming to halt Infront of an elderly women beside the young girl. Su Meng glared at her coldly asking in a hush voice
"why did you poisoned old master"
The elderly women broke into a cold sweat before collapsing onto the floor in despair, Su Meng smirked as he gestured the nearby two bodyguards to help her up, both of them exchanged glances before stepping forward helping the elderly women up while pulling her two hands. Su Meng waved his hand indifferently once again stating
"I will ask you for the last time, why did you poisoned old master"
The elderly women look at Su Meng losing all hope she wiped her tears before stating
"if you promise to help me with my granddaughter's treatment, i will tell every think i know"
Su Meng shook his head as he look at the elderly women before him, as his complexation darkened sending a chill through the women spine as she took a step back almost stumbling to the ground her words struck in her through. Su Meng laughed with a hint of sarcasm retorting
"Do you think you are in the position to negotiate term, i can find it even if you didn't no let me make a guess"
Su Meng said as he pondered for a second before continuing as he look into her eyes firmly with a mockery in his eyes
"Is it Xu hai dong"
"How did you ?..."

"Uncle Fei how did your investigation into Xu Hai Dong going"
"Almost done waiting for your review, once everything is in place we can take action"

"Bang"
As Su Meng finished talking a gun shot rang through out the room Su Qian instantly pulled Jiao behind him, while Old Xu look at the source of the sound as Ming hide under the table while pulling Both Xu Ruohan and Xu Cheng, Fei Hong closed his eyes in fear. Few seconds later Fei Hong slowly peeked through his eyelids only to see puffs of smoke coming from Su Meng's arm, opening his hand Su Meng produced a dampened bullet in his hand before turning his head to one of the bodyguards standing beside the elder women, only to see him stood their motionless as his jaw dropped in shock. Su Meng launched at him even before the guard can digest everything happening in front of his, Su Meng send him flying several meters away.
Upon hearing the crashing sound everyone opened their eyes as they gazed at Su Meng and then at the corpse lying on the ground. Su Meng scanned the room and saw that everyone's faces are etched with terror especially Xu Cheng and Ruohan. Su Meng walked over to Ming side asking
"Is everyone alright, you are not hurt anywhere right"
As he bent down on one knee Ruohan slowly peeked out from the gap between Ming's hand as she ran into Su Meng's embrace, followed by Xu Cheng Su Meng gently ruffled their heads. Xu Fei Hong breath a sigh of relief lifting a pressure in his heart upon seeing Xu Fei Hong was safe and sound.
Ai Bo who was in the Xu Xin's embrace smiled slightly upon seeing the close relationship in between Xu Cheng and Su Meng, as the tension subsided SU Qian and Xu Jiao went back to the company to address some important matters. Su Ming and Su Meng took a taxi to Empire HQ meanwhile Xu Ruo Han who came downstairs after bringing her back started crying after learning that meng already left.

Su Qian and Su Ming were sitting on the bed sideand Su Meng nowhere to be found. After ensuring that Xu Jiao was well taken care off Su Meng took off to the under ground prison along with General manager Shi.

Her face sofe and delicate with a fierce aura around her, with a striking resemblance to Xu Jiao with brown almond eye's her figure akin to that of a celestial being sculptured by a Jade. Su Meng look at her with a piercing gaze resembling a ferocious tiger ready to pounce anytime.
"So, you are the one who is claiming to be my sister "
Su Meng was the first one to break the silence as he spoke with a scrutinizing and piercing gaze that penitrates into to the depths of once soul. A shiver run down red spider's spine as she swallowed a mouth full of saliva, composing herself she nodded before adding
"That what the Zhang family head told me since I am little "
Su Meng took a deep breath as he stood up and walk towards the red spider with a deliberate steps and stood an inch away and raised his hand high in to the air and brought it down with a force. Red spider closed her eye's instinctively, 1 sec,2sec, as the time passed their was no expected pain or slap, she opened her eye's only to see Su Meng hand paused in a mid air just a inch away from her cheek.
Su Meng smiled slightly before cupping Red spider's face in his both hands and curased her cheek gently as he spoke: how about we talk about your experience as a Zhang family assassin until the DNA results are out, shall we
As he released Red spider's face as he sat beside her, Red spider
