It was hard to believe that a woman like Bella could handle men that were double her size. Nine refused to believe so but then, upon feeling a chill run down his spine, he noticed that it all came from the woman who was sitting at the passenger seat.

In the end, he followed his instincts by giving in to what the woman said.

The car stopped at a secluded place and so did the two other black cars that were following them.

"Be a sweetheart and wait here, will you?" She looked at Little Peanut, making sure that he was comfortably sleeping in his cradle.

"B-but-"

"Hush, darling. I'll be quick." She flashed him a sweet smile before she unbuckled the seatbelt and went out of the car.

Nine was internally panicking. If things went bad, he would have no choice but to leave her but… he was not that type of person. Even if he wanted to help her out there, he couldn't, not when he had a baby to protect.

Shit! Shit!

Not being able to hold back his desire to help the woman, Nine finally went out of the car. He looked at the back and saw five bulky men who surrounded her.

"We don't want to hurt you, miss. We only want the baby," said one of the men who seemed to be the leader of the group.

Bella ignored his warning and instead opened her mouth to say, "I would love to compare you to a worm but that would be an insult to the poor thing. Besides, a worm has five hearts and you only have one so you're lucky I can't kill you."

The men looked at each other and ended up laughing at each other, treating her words as a joke.

"Girl, you should do-"

The man who talked was interrupted when a small fist crashed into his face.

Thud!

The man fell on his butt, groaning in pain because of his broken nose.

"For your information, I prefer to be called a lady," Bella said, massaging her wrist by twisting it a bit.

Everyone was shocked, including Nine who witnessed the scene played before him. She was quick with her feet and the unbelievable strength she put in her punch was enough to have the person she hit fall.

Just who was this woman?

The other men were shocked but then, realizing what kind of person they were dealing with, their expressions changed.

"Now who's next?"

Her words taunted them. Nine was about to go and help her but in the next second, as the group attacked her, Bella's fast reaction together with her reflex allowed her to avoid every punch they threw at her.

The men were skilled martial artists but… so was she. Nine could tell how experienced she was with the way she moved. She was like dancing every time she evaded their attacks.

She was right. She could handle them all alone. She didn't need his help at all.

…

(Present)

Bai Jingye paused at the question. He had never seen Lu Mengjie this way. She truly was not as simple as she looked. "Five."

"No one died, right?" Knowing that Bella could kill anyone, her only condition to her was not to kill anyone unless her life was in danger. Not killing those men only meant that their skills were not as good as hers.

"Yes, but all of them were fatally injured." He never thought that one woman could beat up five men. He remembered the way Nine addressed her after sending the report. She was a 'monster'.

"Just who is she?"

"She's Huasheng's godmother," this time she replied with a grin.

"I guess I'll be visiting my son in Switzerland after I take care of Bai Keran." She turned away and began walking out of the place.

Switzerland…?

He took a step forward and followed behind her. He quickly caught up to her because of his long strides.

Upon seeing Bai Jingye's confused gaze, she continued to explain, "it's where my friends are. Huasheng will be safer there."

"How long do you plan on keeping him there?"

Lu Mengjie came to a stop in front of their car. She paused at the thought of how long since she couldn't tell at all. She was going to start from scratch when it came to looking for the people behind her case. She heaved out a sigh as she responded, quite grimly, "I can say, Jingye but I have to make sure that no one is after me. Until then, I have to hide my son. It's for his sake."

That's right. Most of the mothers would go far as to do anything just so they could protect their children. Lu Mengjie was not different. If she has to be away from her son just to protect him then she would do so.

He reached out to the car's door and opened it for her. "Have you already told Han Yizhou about this?"

"No, not yet." She entered the car and sat in the shotgun seat.

Bai Jingye looked down at her and watched her put on her seatbelt. "Don't you think that you should tell him? He's your husband and the father of your child."

The father… A small, subtle smile appeared on her lips as she was reminded of Little Peanut's father. She has yet to know that. Aside from that, with Yong Liwei who was mostly in control of Han Yizhou's body, telling him about her plans would only be a waste of time. She needed to get on good terms with that cold-hearted alter first but thinking of him made her frown. Her? Get along with someone like him? That would take forever! His personality is not likable at all!

"He'll understand. He already knew my situation," she said as an excuse.

Bai Jingye could only sigh before he finally shut the door. He walked towards the other side of the car, opening the door and getting in the driver's seat.
