Back in his room, DX prepared some snacks and hot drinks for Kai Xin who was on the phone with Layla.
She was drying her hair when she received an emergency call from her mentor.
The reason Layla came back was to check on the child of her ex-employee who passed away recently in a car accident.
When she chat with the police, she realized that there was something wrong with the statement given by the child's maternal uncle who was her temporary guardian.
She felt that the uncle might have been bribed by the perpetrator to say that the accident was partly the fault of his sister.
"So, that's the story. Furthermore, according to the police report, it was the chaeuffer who took the young master's car and caused the accident. However, my guts told me that there's something more to this..."
"...Check your email. I've sent you everything I managed to gather on the case, " said Layla.
Since Kai Xin linked her phone to the sound system in the room, Layla's voice came from the loudspeaker.
Kai Xin merely asked, "How can I help?"
"I need you to talk to that child. She refused to talk to me. I think she was scared of me. It would be easier if you talk to her."
Kai Xin nodded, "Once I rescheduled my meetings for next week, I would let you know of my availability."
"I'm sure you can just skip whatever meetings with that bonehead President."
Calmly picking up the phone, DX said sharply, "She's done here."
He hung up before Layla can reply.
Kai Xin frowned, "She's my mentor you know."
"Ex-mentor, " said DX before passing her a hot cup of ginger tea, "Drink up. As for Layla, she would just come after me. There is no reason for you to fret over this."
As she sipped on the drink, he continued to blow dry her hair.
Once he was done, he sat on the couch and pulled out two laptops from the drawer of the coffee table.
Handing one to Kai Xin, he said, "You can check your emails with this. It would be easier than using your phone."
Kai Xin nodded. She sat on the floor, cross legged, and started to read through the files that Layla sent her.
Meanwhile, DX went through his emails and replied to whatever was necessary.
After about an hour, Kai Xin yawned.
When DX saw her action through the corner of his eyes, without breaking the momentum of his typing speed, he said,
"Come up here if you are tired."
Kai Xin wanted to continue working but another loud yawn caught her and she knew that she had to take a nap or she would be dead tired tomorrow.
Climbing onto the couch, she lied there with her head resting near DX's thigh.
It was impossible for him to continue working with her being so near to him.
Maybe she was really tired or maybe it was because of the sound of rain, but It took her less than a minute to go into a deep sleep mode.
DX placed his laptop aside.
After covering her up with the comforter and gave her a kiss, he went to Callum's room.
....
Even though it had been a week since they crippled the heir as well as the power of the Shangguan Family, Callum felt unease.
Once everyone went to bed yesterday, he started going through all the files he collected.
Shangguan Xing did try to rape Kai Xin...but who was the one who placed those two in the same room?
Why was Kai Xin naked and cuffed to the bed?
If he managed to knock her out, he should be strong enough to prevent her from running.
Based on her skills, Shangguan Xing was unlikely to be the one who knock her down.
It had to be someone who was good at martial arts.
Callum winced and clenched his thighs as he felt an imaginary pain down south when he thought about her vicious sneak attack.
Glancing at Kai Xin's profile on one of his screens, he thought out loud,
"Unless he managed to convince someone to spike her drinks...but why her?"
He rested his forehead on the desk as he thought, "Besides, she was dressed as a male..."
Furthermore, who was the one who hacked into their system? Who and why did they do this?
"Argh!!!!!"
Callum groaned loudly as he glared at the pile of evidences that he had compiled for the past week.
Nothing made sense!
He noted that Kai Xin and Shangguan Xing went to the same school but according to his reports, they barely interacted with each other.
The only possible link between those two was Zhen Kai An.
According to the reports, Kai Xin's brother was the same age as Shangguan Xing and they were both in the Student Committee Society where Kai An served as the President.
Callum glanced at the photos taken during the birthday party that were pinned on the cork board above the screens.
He kept staring at them for hours, trying to find someone suspicious.
However, before he can find anything, he fell asleep and dreamed of an incident that happened during his high school.
