Chapter 55 - Mole Within the Top Floor (3)

"I apologize for underestimating you, President Xi." Xi Ana stood from her char and motioned for him to sit on the couch intended for the visitors.

The way the man walked is very confident and if one would witness the scene a while back he would think that this person walking right now is different from the one who knelt without hesitation.

Once they were seated the the man took the initiative to speak, "Do you really have a real gun with you?"

He was deliberately acting like he was really scared a while back because that was what they instructed to him, that if he was caught red-handed he would act as if he was just a simple spy who was blinded by money.

The family who hired him is quite influential and they said that he doesn't have to worry and if he really was caught they would push the blame on another family.

When he heard the plan it was as if he was slapped by the reality of what he put himself into and before he knew it, it was already too late to retreat.

Xi Ana cracked a smile and answered him with a question, "Are you sure that is what you should be asking me?" in her mind, what he should be asking is why she had spared him despite his betrayal.

When the man didn't respond she decided to speak and just like that, the temperature of the room seemed to have gone lower and lower with each second passing by, "You have to be proud of yourself, you are the very first mole that entered my Top Floor."

She paused for a while before continuing, "Why were you planted in my domain? And who do you work for?"

Although there was a bit of hesitation he managed to overcome this and started speaking, "President, before I tell you everything can you promise me that you will keep my sister safe?"

They were orphaned at a very young age and the only family he has is his younger sister, he promised before the grave of their parents that he would do everything to give her a comfortable life.

Instead of immediately answering, Xi Ana laughed which made Gao Bei Cheng confused and a little bit scared because of how sinister it sounded to him, "You should have thought about that before betraying me. You think the rumor about me being ruthless is just a joke?"

Because of what he heard, he was alarmed, "Please spare my sister, President. I will tell you everything I know I just wanted to make sure that my sister will be safe no matter what happened."

"Keeping her safe is not a problem and I'm not the type of person who hold grudges towards those around the person who have done me wrong, I usually return the favor directly to that person. Quit dilly-dallying and get straight to the point. Will you speak or not? Choose."

"I will speak." he heaved a deep sigh before continuing.

"It was the Fang Family of City M, the Fang Family of the Nine Noble Families that sent me here."

The man has been long gone although he was let go just like that, the man himself knew best not to test her patience after all the life of his sister is in the hands of Xi Ana.

Because of their indirect announcement of their relationship, they found a concrete proof that Xi Ana is indeed backing up Fang Wenna.

It was known in the elite world that Fang Wenna is the heiress of Fang Enterprises, the biggest and most successful company in the toy industry of the country and they also know that it was all because of her capabilities that she managed to be one.

If Elder Fang based his will according to birth, Fang Wenna wouldn't stand a chance at all. His father was the youngest son of Elder Fang, and she is the youngest grandchild that's why her uncles can't accept it and they are n ow making their move to obliterate her.

"They've made their move and they're making you their next target, Ana Jie."

The woman who's been hiding inside the room for quite sometime now appeared beside Xi Ana who is thinking deeply. She watched the whole scene unfold before her. Being by her side for years now she can almost recognize her facial expressions and right now she knew very well that there's a tinge of disappoint in her eyes and she knows the reason behind it.

Xi Ana looked at the petite woman beside her, "Xinyi."

"Yes, Ana Jie?" she asked.

"Will you betray me as well?" Fang Wenna's problem is indeed an important matter they need to attend to it's just that she expected that it would be connected to the person she'd been looking for, even though she hates to admit it she is a bit disappointed. But because of what happened today, the problem with the Fang Family needs to be sorted out as soon as possible.

She was a bit taken by the question not because she is guilty but because of its suddenness. "That question should never be asked of me, Young Miss because no matter what happened my loyalty lies to you and you alone."

It was tiring enough to make everyone believe that she can't remember what happened before, to maintain that facade to everyone, it's tiring enough to stay alive after all the torture she'd been through because of that person, and yet people still choose to feed their greed.

Wang Xinyi suddenly remembered her first encounter with Han Tu Mo a few weeks ago, although she knew everything about Han Tu Mo the latter doesn't know about her existent. Honestly speaking, she could easily get the gun from her it's just that she can't risk exposing her identity. A newly hired secretary, weak-looking and meek, and an orphan. She is supposed to be a low-key secretary so that she wouldn't attract people, that was the identity they've decided for her.

"I know this is not the best comparison there is but I will say it anyway, no matter what happens I will never be the same as Han Tu Mo." they were both raised by Xi Ana and she used to be jealous of Han Tu Mo because she could be near her, they would often bring her everywhere they go while she was left in the care of a nanny.

"Wang Xinyi, that was the name you've given me when I was eight years old and I promised in that name that I will stay beside you whatever happens."
