The four of them trooped into the basement with Zuo Ci leading the way. They entered a room with a young man sat bound in an armchair inside.
His eyes stared at the four of them all in turns. He looked scared.
"Please, let me go. I don't know who you are. I won't talk to anyone about this. Please let me go!"
Xi Jian sat in front of him and immediately asked.
"Why did you follow that woman?"
"What woman?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid! Last night I found you following Miss Ling. If you have nothing to hide, why did you run away when I greeted you?" Zou Ci put his hands on his waist.
"Miss Ling?" Suddenly the young man's face glowed. "So all of you here know Miss Ling?"
"Hurry up and say it!" Zou Ci smacked his head from behind.
Xi Jian furrowed his brows. "Who are you?"
"My name is Xing Qian Ye."
"Why did you follow Miss Ling for a few days?" Zou Ci asked again.
"I was her schoolmate when I was in elementary school. I followed her because I wasn't sure if she really was the Ling Yue I knew, so I followed her." His voice narrowed and then sounded cheerful instantly. "But it turns out she really is my Ling Yue! I made sure when I saw her take off those glasses. Once I was ready to greet her, you chased me!"
"Stalker!" Gan Ji hissed in annoyance. He thought Zou Ci had another clue about their problem.
Hearing the words 'My Ling Yue' spoken from the lips of a stranger made Xi Jian boil inside. He stood and turned.
"Investigate it further. Get him out after you make sure he can't open his mouth."
"Understood." Zou Ci and Gan Ji nodded.
"Wait! What's that mean?" Qian Ye widened his eyes.

Ling Yue accompanied He Luo to the party tonight. He Luo deliberately asked her to dress up because of that Ling Yue wore a bolder dress. She put on a long-sleeved dresses that fall above the knee, with a deep V neck that makes her cleavage clearly visible. She let her hair fall over her back.
He Luo smiled broadly when he saw Ling Yue's appearance.
"You look so beautiful!" praise He Luo.
"Thank you." Ling Yue did not dismiss his praise. At first He Luo only told her that they were going for dinner, suddenly his plans changed and he wanted to attend a celebration party.
Ling Yue wanted to refuse because her mood was not so good for the party but Bai Xu accidentally told her that Xi Jian would come to the same party. So she decided to be here.
Since entering the party area, her eyes swept the people there but Xi Jian's whereabouts were not found. With Xi Jian's aura and personality, it was impossible for him to be invisible. That means Xi Jian really weren't there.
The disappointment that attacked her heart could not be cover up. Ling Yue headed for the drinks table and took whatever she saw. He Luo still talked to his business partners but his eyes continued to glance at Ling Yue. Finally he excused himself and approached her.
"Wow princess, the party has just begun and you intend to get drunk?" He Luo tried to take the drink in Ling Yue's hand and she hit He Luo's hand.
"Don't even try. It's mine. You can take another!"
"I think that's enough." He Luo while smiling forcibly took her glass which was greeted by her pouting lips.
"Boriing!" She turned and staggered out.
"Where are you going?" He Luo supported her.
"Bathroom. I can go by myself." Ling Yue pulled his hand.
"Okay. If you don't come back in fifteen minutes, I'll pick you." He Luo let her go. "Hey do you know where it is?"
Ling Yue raised her thumb and grinned. "I'll ask."
She walked down the corridor to the bathroom after asking the waiter. Although rather drunk, Ling Yue could still see people staring at her with a mischievous look.
"Hello miss, do you need any help?"
"No."
The deadly cold voice made the man who tried to hit on Ling Yue lift his legs without thinking twice. Ling Yue turned and saw the face she had been waiting for in front of her.
"Ow, My Prince!"
Xi Jian narrowed his eyes when he saw Ling Yue front facing him. He tried to keep his eyes fixed on Ling Yue's eyes after seeing her dress almost showed two of her valuable assets.
"You..."
"Why are you here? Is this real thing?" Ling Yue poked Xi Jian's cheek with her index finger. "Uhm ... this is real though."
Xi Jian caught her hand. His eyes watched the people passing by. "Who are you coming with?"
"I came alone." Ling Yue giggled amusedly at her own lies.
"You're drunk!" Xi Jian smelled alcohol from her breath. "Come here, I'll take you home. " Xi Jian half dragged her out of there.
"I don't want to go home!" Ling Yue whined all the way. Xi Jian who drove himself was forced to stop once or twice at the curb because Ling Yue bothered him.
"All right. All right, I won't take you home." He said annoyed.
Ling Yue chuckled. "Let's go home ~"
Xi Jian glanced at her. "You said you didn't want to go home. Now you want to go home. Pick one!" he massaged his temple.
"Let's go to your home~"
