"Ah!"

A piercing scream from just outside her office shattered the quietness of the news agency.

The expression on Qiao Lian's face showed shock, but she was also stunned because of the shriek that had come from Su Meimei, who was standing at the door. Su Meimei's eyes were transfixed on the gift box on the desk, covering her mouth with her hands.

Her scream got the attention of the other workers in the office.

"What happened?"

Very quickly, a small crowd gathered at the entrance of her office. Alarmed gasps could be heard coming from crowd.

Finally, Qiao Lian got over her shock and reacted, looking into the package again.

She clenched her fists tightly.

The beautifully-wrapped gift box contained a dead cat.

It used to be a white cat, but it had been very cruelly dismembered and its white fur had been dyed bright scarlet, reeking of fresh blood. It was a horrifying sight.

She gulped. Her fingers were trembling uncontrollably.

Although she had always been bold and courageous, this unexpected bloody sight was an assault to all her senses and it sickened her.

Both Zhang Chunhua and Liu Zhixing had also hurried over by now. When they saw this thing on the desk, Liu Zhixing jumped in fright. "What happened here?"

Zhang Chunhua, on the other hand, said gleefully, "What else could it be? One look and it's obvious she must have crossed somebody. Qiao Lian, I must give you this one! How do you always manage to attract trouble all the time? Can you not keep your private affairs private?"

When she heard this, Qiao Lian looked at Liu Zhixing jerking her head up. "Managing Editor Liu, the package was addressed to 'Xiao Qiao' and that is not my original name. So I suspect that this may be a malicious threat from someone who I have written about before."

And she didn't need a second guess to know who this person was.

Wang Wenhao.

Because of her article, he had completely fallen from grace and been subsequently beaten up in public by Shen Liangchuan. It had caused the end of his career in the entertainment industry.

She frowned, annoyed at how troublesome this was turning out to be.

For someone like Wang Wenhao, who had lost his chance of a successful future, there was no telling what else he would do next.

She looked at Liu Zhixing directly. "Managing Editor Liu, I'd like to file a police report and apply for a protection order."

Zhang Chunhua laughed derisively the moment she said this. "That's making a mountain out of a molehill. You want to file a police report over such a small matter? And what if the police turns up? You think they will protect you 24/7? I say, Qiao Lian, are you paranoid or something?"

Qiao Lian was furious. How could Zhang Chunhua accuse her of being paranoid when such a package was actually already on her desk?

If anyone was sick in the mind, it would be Zhang Chunhua for sure.

She looked at Liu Zhixing and asked, "Managing Editor Liu, so what's your take on this?"

Liu Zhixing thought for a while and said, "This matter affects the reputation of our news agency. Besides, the sender has only given a warning so far. If we filed a police report now, they won't be able to do anything. Let's wait and see. If he makes another move, we can file a police report then."

Shi Nianyao could not contain her anger upon hearing this. "If his next move is to kill someone, then what's the use of filing a police report then?"

She took out her cell phone and insisted, "This is harassment, we must file a police report immediately!"

"Shush! Are you in the lead or am I? If you dare to call the police now, you can leave immediately. You're just an intern, how dare you challenge me!?" Liu Zhixing lashed out at Shi Nianyao, causing her to deeply frown.

Seeing her expression, Qiao Lian shot Shi Nianyao a comforting look and said aloud, "Fine. Let's not file a report yet then."
