nBut his hand touched a liquor bottle and accidentally knocked it on Leng Zichun's shirt.

n

"Ah!

"

n

"Hey!

"

nBoth of them flinched and stood up hurriedly. Zhao Yichen hurried towards the old man and asked politely,

"Gra… grandpa, are you looking for Luo Lixi?

"

n

"Where are the men?

" Luo Qintian asked this instead of answering. He wrinkled his face when the over drunkard Leng Zichun waved at him.

n

"Did she choose anyone?

" The old man added.

n

"Umm…

" Zhao Yichen didn't reply and looked towards Leng Zichun who was busy stuffing his mouth despite his clothes getting wet a moment ago.

nHe was so drunk that he didn't even care about Luo Qintian who had entered the room and was staring at him.

nZhao Yichen was embarrassed and glanced at the ground as he said,

"Some emergency came up in the foreign company of Xixi and she left with Pan Er Jiu.

"

n

"What emergency?

" Luo Qintian asked with concern.

n

"That… I don't know.

" Zhao Yichen answered. Both his and Leng Zichun's skin had turned so red that it appeared as if they had applied red colours on their body.

n

"Go home. Also, don't drive.

" Luo Qintian said and then left. Zhao Yichen waved his hand and murmured.

n

"Bye-bye, grandpa. Good night!

" Then, he slowly closed the door and went back to Leng Zichun. The latter handed him a glass of wine and asked.

n

"Wanna try?

"

n

"Hmm…

" Zhao Yichen nodded.

nThus, both of them started to drink again. At a blind corner of the room, a figure who was bound with firm ropes was struggling desperately. It seemed he would bang his head against the wall if he wasn't released soon.

nZhao Yichen snorted as he stood up with gloominess. Leng Zichun stopped him and said domineeringly,

"You can't go before you finish this bottle! Obey this lord!

"

n

"...

" When Zhao Yichen saw the wine bottle, his lips twisted. He gently pushed Leng Zichun away and went beside the curtain. When he removed the curtain, the figure behind stopped struggling.

nZhao Yichen crouched down and took out a small knife. He rubbed it against the man's skin and smirked dangerously. The other person trembled and his eyes showed fear.

n

"Can cook? Can do housework and can… quit your job?

" Zhao Yichen whispered with a devilish grin and asked as he left a small cut on the man's skin,

"A man who is unfilial to his mother and abuses her for money… is so dedicated?

"

n

"Mmm… fhmn!

" The man struggled while shaking his head. Accidentally the knife cut his skin deeper and a fresh drop of blood went down.

nZhao Yichen was unmoved as he moved the knife towards his neck and asked with bloodshot eyes.

n

"Who has sent you?

" Zhao Yichen pressed the knife on his neck and asked.

n

"Mfm… Nhm!

" The man hysterically shook his head, denying. When Zhao Yichen moved the sharp edge to stab into his shoulder, a voice shouted behind him.

n

"Yichen, I'm done! let's go!

"

nLeng Zichun stood up and wobbled in his muddleheaded state as he began to inch towards Zhao Yichen. It seemed he would fall any moment if he was not supported. Zhao Yichen clicked his tongue and suddenly cut the rope which was binding Hai Liu.

n

"Leave and never appear in front of her. If you dare... I will see the end of it.

" In an extremely chilly voice, Zhao Yichen whispered.

nThe other party bobbed his head frantically and spat out the cloth which was stuffed in his mouth.

nThen without looking back he ran away frantically in fear and left straight out of the restaurant. While he was bypassing an alley, a figure suddenly grabbed him and made him stop in his tracks. Then that person dragged him to that dark alley.

n

"You!

" Hai Liu flinched out when he saw the other person. His face held contempt and hatred for the other person as he avoided his touch.

n

"Is the work done? Was she pleased by you?

" A man whose face was covered with a mask asked rashly.

nHai Liu swatted his hand in front of the man's face and shouted in fear,

"Can't you see I am injured? How do you expect that she would pick me! Anyway, I have failed but I won't give back any money to you!

"

nAfter saying that, he turned around and dashed in one corner, intending to leave. The masked man smiled and raised his hand.

nIn the next second, Hai Liu became a pile of flesh, devoid of any life and fell on the ground. The man put away the blade and walked away calmly.

nAfter a few hours, someone discovered the body and many people rushed towards that area to help but it was already too late.

n…

nLuo Corporation.

n

"Er Jiu, tell me the general situation.

" Luo Lixi inquired with a frown as she sat down on her desk and opened her laptop. Her joyous mood fell down the moment she heard the problem that happened abroad.

nPan Er Jiu stood in front of her with an anxious face and briefly explained the whole situation.

n

"Boss, after we have left the company, some people took advantage of the situation and stole our recent jewellery designs. Not only that, but they also went ahead and copyrighted them before we could notice the anomaly and take action.

"

nLuo Lixi slammed her hand on the table. Her face flushed in anger while the vein throbbed in her neck. Pan Er Jiu was quite scared by her reaction. She didn't dare to look ahead and whispered.

n

"I have tried to retrieve the company's CCTV footage but it was destroyed and it will take time to retrieve them.

"

n

"Er Jiu, all the designs are kept in my studio, in the hidden compartment. I can't understand how it can get out?!

" Luo Lixi furrowed her brows and thought that they needed to recover the footage as soon as possible.. It was such a serious matter that Luo Lixi could not even take a breather.
