5 The Mastermind Is One Of Us!

Xander was alone in his house and was about to start the engine of his car when an unknown man entered with a gun.

"Wtf!! What are you doing in my house? Who are you?" Xander asked the man on a mask with no worries.

"Hands in the air or I'll shoot." The man ordered Xander with a shaky hands as he held his gun tight.

"You've come to kill me right?" Xander smiled while he came down from his car. "Give it your best shot." He let out an evil smirk making goosebumps to grow on the man's body.

"That's it then." The man uttered and tried to fire the bullet but it fell on the ground instead, he was about to pick up the bullet when he received an unexpected punch on his face. "Damnit."

Xander made the lie on the ground and removed his mask. "Tan Shun! Who sent you?

"I'd rather die than to reveal the Mastermind, Master Li." Tan Shun became breathless with fear written all over his face.

"You asked for it! I won't force you to tell me but I'll definitely figure it out. You used to be my ally and you betrayed me." Xander picked up Tan Shun's gun.

"I'm so sorry, Master Li." Xander fired the bullet and it went straight to Tan Shun's fore head and he died instantly.

Meanwhile, that was how Xander killed Tan Shun and how he narrated the incident to both Mu Chen and Master Wang Shu.

"How did you dispose his body?" Mu Chen asked with an heavy heart.

"I threw his corpse inside a bush and heavily guarded my house, since I'll be expecting the Mastermind sooner or later." Xander let out a sigh of relief and noticed Mu Chen's sudden attitude.

"The Angelic Beings must have sent him. They might have hypnotized him to do so." Master Wang Shu concluded with a frown on his face.

"You're wrong Master Wang Shu. The Mastermind is one of us." Xander smiled evilly while Mu Chen hid his face in guilt.

How come he knew the Mastermind was one of us? He might have just guessed it. Xander never joked with his words and he's a man of actions. The saying 'Actions speaks louder than words' is all what Xander believed in.

Mu Chen was going to be on a low key now because if Xander finds out he might end up like Tan Shun.

At the other part of the country, where Ping Ming and Anna Shen reside. Ping Ming was having a visitor; Ling Fei her ex friend.

"Miss Ling, I have no business with you so stop being a bitch and use the exit door." Ping Ming yelled her Ling Fei.

Ling Fei used to be Ping Ming's best friend back then in high school. Ping Ming went on a vacation leaving only her busy fiance, who Ling Fei always had eyes for, at home. A month later, Ping Ming came home only to see her fiance with Ling Fei on her matrimonial bed doing what is called lovemaking.

Now Ling Fei is back to apologize for her nasty behavior.

"Ming, if you just give me this one last chance I'll amend my ways." Ling Fei sobbed bitterly.

"After having an affair with my fiance!" Ping Ming tightened her fist in annoyance wanting to pounce on Ling Fei to disfigure her smooth face.

"It wasn't intentional Ping. I didn't know how I ended up in his bedroom." Ling Fei bit her lower lips.

"You used to be my friend until I caught you in my matrimonial room with my fiance." Ping Ming frown deepened. "You backstabber, you always had eyes for my fiance."

"I'm asking for this one last chance, Ping." Ling Fei knelt down on the tiles floor.

"You should be ashamed of yourself, you still have the guts to show yourself to me." Ping Ming remembered vividly how she saw Ling Fei riding on top of her fiance.

"It wasn't my clear eyes. He forced himself on me." Ling Fei tri d to convince Ping Ming to make her believe what she was saying.

Ling Fei was feeling guilty,she really should be ashamed of herself for being such a slut. She had the chance so she grabbed it with a welcome arm. Ping Ming's fiance was from a social class background and admired by all.

"He forced you and you willingly succumb. I'm not that dumb to believe a slut like you." Ping Ming was already exhausted by Ling Fei's lies. Ping Ming stood up,pointing to the exit door ordering Ling Fei to leave.

"Please Ping, give me a last chance. I'm a changed person now!" Ling Fei pleaded like a puppet.

"Leave this instant!" Ping Ming yelled. Ling Fei shamefully left Ping's house.

Ling Fei knew Ping Ming won't fall into her trap this time and won't believe anything she says. Yes, she can amend her ways but she can't change what she has already done in the past.

Ping Ming was aware that her ex friend was into something bad against her which was why she kept on apologizing. Ping Ming won't allow herself to be fooled by Ling Fei again. She was a fool in the past by believing her lies but not again.

Ping Ming brought out her phone to check what the time, it as already noon and sh hasn't heard yet from Anna who left the house before dawn. Hasn't she arrived at the Shen's mansion yet? What was keeping her to stay this long? Ping Ming was worried about Anna. Ping Ming left the house to the grocery store to pick up some items they'd be needing to prepare dinner.

"Jeez! Anna won't be happy if she finds out that the store room is empty." Ping Ming laughed inwardly. Anna was like family to her now and she would do anything to please Anna because she was actually the eldest and often describes Anna as 'Little Anna'.
