63 Close One

" Thank you for the warning. " Zhi Ruo nodded calmly but inwardly she started panicking.

' Damn it! I got myself in trouble on my first day here... The mafia? Isn't that like freaking overpowered?! They can drug me, torture me, kidnap me and then kill me off. Disposing of my body would be super easy for them! Argh! I am such a dumbass! '

' It seems like you are not from here, would you want me to lend you some bodyguards? " the girl smiled.

" Why would you go to such an extent to help me? " Zhi Ruo frowned.

" You look interesting," she stated, seemingly truly curious.

" Then I will kindly reject your offer. " Zhi Ruo said.

' I know this kind of character, looks extremely innocent on the surface but she is probably a bit crazy inside. '

The woman mysteriously smiled before handing Zhi Ruo her business card, " My name is Alessia, call me if you need anything. "

After saying what she had to say, Alessia gracefully stood up and left the restaurant.

Zhi Ruo frowned, it seemed like she had attracted too much attention right when she arrived.

She called the waiter, ordered a drink and asked if she could borrow a computer.

Nowadays, hotels were very prepared and had many things prepared so shortly after her demand, a laptop was sent her way.

Zhi Ruo thanked the waiter and immediately got to work.

She firstly disabled all functions on the computer that could lead to the discovery of her act being discovered and proceeded to hack all systems she knew to block all information on her and her family.

Zhi Ruo's fingers flew on the keyboard at a fulgurant speed, deleting any type of data or file on the Internet and proceeding to explore dark webs that had information on public figures and taking them down.

Jessica was bound to try and find some information on her and that Alessia also looked like she would like to meddle so it was safer for her right now to limit any type of information on her.

This barely took Zhi Ruo an hour and by the time Wang Yong arrived, she was almost done.

" Good morning, Ruoruo. " Wang Yong sat across her and greeted.

" Hmm. Good morning. " Zhi Ruo didn't raise her head and continued to focus on the screen, strings of extremely long code flew and the person sitting behind her was in awe as this happened.

" What are you doing so early in the morning? " Wang Yong questioned.

" Can you give a few minutes? I am almost done. " Zhi Ruo absentmindedly said.

" Okay. " Wang Yong sulked a bit as he was being ignored but he soon forgot his grievances when he observed Zhi Ruo with a serious face.

' Sigh...my princess is always so beautiful even when she is working... '

After exactly five minutes, Zhi Ruo finally managed to wipe out all the information she could and closed the laptop.

" I am sorry, there was something urgent I needed to do. " Zhi Ruo explained.

" It's fine. Were you waiting for a long time? " Wang Yong sipped the coffee that he ordered earlier.

" Around an hour. I couldn't sleep so I came down early. " Zhi Ruo answered.

" The others should be coming down soon. " Wang Yong added, " We should order first as you must be hungry. "

" Okay. " Zhi Ruo nodded and they both took their turn to order.

" So what are you going to do during this trip? Do you want to follow me to work or are you going to go sightseeing? " Zhi Ruo asked while taking a sip of her drink.

" I will probably go sightsee and see if I have any recollections from this place before searching for my friend. " Wang Yong answered.

" I recommend you to hire a personal tour guide so you can take your time and visit the places you are interested in. " Zhi Ruo commented.

" Good idea, I will go to a travelling agency afterwards then. What about you? Are you busy every day? " Wang Yong inquired.

" Yeah...I have a lot of things to do and I told Lin Xia to bring everything I still had to do so I can work on it during my breaks or when we are on the move. I hope I can finish everything in two weeks. " Zhi Ruo revealed. If Hui Yin heard her, she wouldn't be happy.

" Ruoruo didn't you say you would be careful? " Wang Yong frowned unhappily.

" I am being careful! " Zhi Ruo refuted.

Wang Yong stared at her dubiously, looking straight into her eyes.

Zhi Ruo who was suddenly being stared at didn't really know how to react, she wanted to evade eye contact but Wang Yong stopped her, " Zhi Ruo. Look at me. "

Consequently, Zhi Ruo awkwardly looked at his perfect face, feeling her cheeks starting to redden, " Yes..? "

" Promise me you won't tire yourself out. " Wang Yong sternly looked at her.

Zhi Ruo somehow lost herself in his clear brown eyes. Then her eyes scanned his handsome face and her gaze somehow stopped at his lips before she tore her eyes off in shock.

' F*ck. What the hell is this perfect human?!? My heart can't stop beating loudly. This is so embarrassing! ' Zhi Ruo screamed in her mind.

" I promise you. " Zhi Ruo answered in a feeble voice before taking a sip of her drink, hoping it would her calm down.

" Are you okay? You look a bit red... " Wang Yong teased while pretending to be innocent.

" Yeah... I just... " Zhi Ruo racked her brain to find a reason when at the corner of her eye, she saw Fei Long, Olivia and Lin Xia walking towards them.

" They arrived! " Zhi Ruo promptly changed the subject.

' That was a close one... '

" Hmm. " Wang Yong complained in his heart, he was so close...
