After finishing her shower and returning to the room, Qin Youxuan tossed her bathrobe onto the sofa and dove into her bed covers.
Although she was dead tired, her mind suddenly became crystal clear.
Especially that text message from Dan Hanjie, it kept floating in her mind.
[Tomorrow at nine in the evening, Yujing Villa]
And Yaoâs inexplicably mysterious warningâ¦
âCanât he just speak directly, whatâs with the riddles!â Qin Youxuan rolled over, wrapped herself up in her blanket and grumbled into her covers.
Sheâd rather memorize a whole book of detailed legal statutes than ponder over a question that was seemingly impossible to solve.
âMaster, itâs getting up time, if you love getting up or not⦠Master, itâs getting up time, if you love getting up or notâ¦â
Qin Youxuan, who had suffered from insomnia and only fell asleep in the middle of the night, sat up straight on time the next day with a pair of panda eyes and slammed her alarm clock off.
âWhy do you keep yelling if I love getting up or not? Why am I so sleepy, ahhh!â Qin Youxuan held her face in her hands, and the thought of the unsolved problem from last night made her extremely grumpy after waking up.
âI canât take it, I need to sleep a bit more!â Qin Youxuan felt her head splitting, her cat-like eyes blinked and she pulled the blanket over herself and laid back down.
âBuzz buzzâ
When the cell phone rang, Qin Youxuan was still nestled in her blanket. She struggled to stretch out her hand to grab it, and on glimpsing the time on the screen, her sleepiness instantly evaporated.
âDad, Iâm on the way to the office now, Iâll definitely be there within half an hour, donât worry, I wonât be late!â
Qin Youxuan tossed the phone and swiftly bolted out of bed and into the bathroom. She got herself ready at lightning speed, quickly grabbed her bag, and dashed out of the Qin family mansion.
As soon as she got in the car, she immediately dialed Ning Yananâs number, âYaya, Iâm on the first national highway right now, near my house, heading to Qin Group. Is there any shortcut that isnât on the GPS?â
As an entertainment journalist, Ning Yanan was nicknamed âFico City Live Traffic Mapâ. If you didnât know the way, she could help you figure it out instantly!
âWhat? The shareholders meeting of Qin Group is less than half an hour away and youâre just leaving now? My lady, youâre not doing a great job at pretension. I came early in the morning with my video camera waiting for the exclusive news. If you embarrass me, Iâll strangle youâ¦â
After a bout of angry shouting, Ning Yanan didnât bother to inquire about why Qin Youxuan overslept and quickly informed her about all the shortcuts she knew.
âAlright, I got it, Iâll rush over right awayâ¦â Qin Youxuanâs heart lifted, and she quickly turned her car around, driving onto a small road adjacent to the main road.
âXuan, shortcuts are usually through remote roads, be careful!â
âI got it!â
Qin Youxuan ended the call, removed her Bluetooth, and focused on driving.
Following the route Ning Yanan had given, she soon took a shortcut through a narrow tunnel.
âWhooshâ
The car stopped steadily in the tunnel, Qin Youxuan turned on the headlights, and was suddenly taken aback by the large truck parked in front of her.
Before she had a chance to back up, another car entered from behind, blocking her retreat.
Qin Youxuan felt a jolt of fear, a sense of foreboding spreading throughout her bodyâ¦
Dan Groupâs Building.
In the post-modern CEOâs office, a tall figure stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
Dan Hanjie held a cigarette between his slender fingers, faint white smoke curled around his enchanting face, his alluring eyes cold and ruthless, he exuded an aura that warned people to keep their distance.
