Rolling on her bed, Chen Jingyun sweetly stretched her limbs as she woke up from her deep slumber. A smile seemed to be playing on her lips. She had a good dream.
However, she lost grasp of it before she could reminisce it.
Chen Jingyun slowly opened her eyes only to be met with a quiet and empty room. None of the boys were in sight. Looking at the clock hanging on the wall, Chen Jingyun found out it was past noon. She figured everyone was out for lunch.
She also heard the rumble of her stomach begging to be fed.
Hopping out of bed, her feet touched the cold floor. She went for a cup of water and prepared herself for the day.
Sunday was meant to be a slow, uneventful, and peaceful day. Nothing like yesterday will happen again...
Oh, yesterday!
Chen Jingyun slapped her forehead which she instantly regretted. It brought a wave of dizziness.
Blinking it away, she remembered drinking much more than she had hoped or planned for. She remembered punching Luo Shao on the arms for teasing her. Pouting and cursing the dark lord in his face for his winning streak. Sticking her tongue out at Su Long every time she won over him...
And after that... she ended up in bed.
Biting her lip, Chen Jingyun felt increasing worry as she thought about what happened next.
Did she drag herself to bed, or did someone help her to it?
Did they feel anything? She thought as she touched her bound chest.
Gosh, she was too careless.
Shaking the bad thoughts out of her head, she reassured herself. If they felt anything, she would be anything but left alone to sleep. They could have taken advantage of her, but there are no signs of that, they could have stayed and bombarded her with questions, but none of that happened.
She was just left alone.
So... for now, her secret was safe.
But she couldn't help but go back to scolding herself. She should be more cautious!
When she was out on the streets, looking for a good place to eat, she couldn't help but ring Lu Xin. She thought she better let someone know before things scaled up. Food also tastes better with company.
However, Lu Xin wasn't picking up.
Instead, coming right behind her was the whole gang- not a gang - Red Stones. They all looked very fresh and energetic, the peak of youth. Eye-candy to any age group.
Long Tang was leading the group with a silly smile, he seemed to be in an extremely good mood. Long Rao had a blank face with dangerous hints of grumpiness, he seemed to be reluctantly tagging along. As for Fu Wang... he was visibly happy to catch her out in the streets, like a puppy ready to bolt towards her.
Tiptoeing towards her, making sure to not get her attention, Fu Wang prepared to scare her.
However, before he could even startle her, she timely dodged his paws. Years of experience has refined her senses to the point she could smell his intentions from miles away. She only gave him a deadpanned expression, shaking her head at him, and hopped off to the group.
"What's up, guys?" She greeted happily.
Poor Fu Wang was left licking his paws sadly.
"Great!" Long Tang laughed merrily, mainly at Fu Wang's pitiful appearance.
"Fine." Long Rao shrugged as he accommodated his glasses. He didn't seem to be faced by anything in his sleepy haze.
"Did you guys have lunch yet?"
They shook their head.
"We're going to eat Italian food, want to tag along?"
"Sure."
The three of them left without paying mind to the last boy.
-
Earlier that day...
Hidden in different spots...
"Say... where do you think the rascal will be going today dressed so nicely? Losers buy drinks food tonight! Shadow 1, over."
"Where else do you think? He's obviously going to the office. Shadow 3, over."
"Maybe Madam arranged for a blind date? Shadow 2, over."
"Tsk tsk, all of you know nothing. He's actually going to the station. Shadow 1, over."
"How are you so sure? Shadow 2, over."
"A little bird told me- Oh! Young Master is on the move. Go, go, go! Shadow 1, over!"
This young master was Li Minghao.
He entered the parking lot and walked by many luxurious and eye-catching cars. A normal sight at their school full of young masters. However, his car looked nothing, like a young master's car. It was less flashy and more thoughtful in its practicality.
The car he liked to use was black and low-key. It didn't have any fancy design but its machine was one of the quietest and fastest ones in the country. Easy to lose sight of in a chase. Easy to chase others.
That night they went to the karaoke place, the car couldn't be appreciated under the poor street lighting.
However...now that it was under the sun. It was easy to see this car was a beauty!
On his own, this young master looked like a young businessman enjoying his morning ride to work. His suit and distinct demeanor could not be compared to that of a high schooler.
He was a man on a mission.
Half an hour later, Li Minghao stopped by a tall building.
The First Police Department.
