The familiar voice evoked Jiang Yining’s memories, and her hand that was holding the phone instantly tightened.
She opened her mouth and wanted to ask him for help.
However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Jiang Yining hung up the phone.
Toot, toot, toot…
The busy tone rang out on the phone and Gu Zhanqing’s brows were deeply furrowed.
He looked to the side and asked in a deep voice, “Did you manage to trace the call?”
“Miss hung up too quickly. We can’t determine her exact location, but we managed to lock in on the neighborhood she called from.”
The bodyguard respectfully placed a laptop in front of Gu Zhanqing.
He glanced at it and noticed something.
Jiang Yining called from one of the most well-known wealthy districts in
A-City but she had run away from home without any money…
Why would she be in that vicinity?
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Gu Zhanqing ordered coldly, “Send more men to search the nearby area.”
If her phone signal appeared there, there was a very high chance that they would bump into her.
It had already been so long; he could not spend more time looking for her.
“Yes, sir.”
Jiang Yining flung the phone away and hugged herself with a relieved expression on her face.
She still didn’t want to have anything to do with the Gu family.
Since she couldn’t ask Gu Zhanqing for help, she would think of a way herself.
She had never been one to drag her feet.
She sat up in her bed and quickly logged in on her computer to send a message to K.
She then entered the hacker’s site on the dark web and browsed through the missions.
Finally, she decided on two missions. One paid a million yuan, while the other ten million!
She sent a message to the job poster to find out more about the mission…
Meanwhile in the villa, Qi Feng’s phone buzzed.
He took it out and saw that someone had sent him a message.
And it was about the hacker, Queen.
Without any hesitation, he went upstairs to inform Lu Zhi.
“Sir, the hacker, Queen, has accepted the mission.”
“The kitten has finally taken the bait,” Lu Zhi said. “Follow my instructions and continue to engage with her.”
“Yes.”
Qi Feng nodded and sent a reply to Queen.
Lu Zhi stood up, put on his coat, and strode towards Jiang Yining’s bedroom.
A few minutes later, he knocked on her bedroom door.
Jiang Yining was just chatting with someone when she heard the knock on the door. Her heart skipped a beat as she asked vigilantly, “Who is it?”
“It’s me.” Lu Zhi’s clear voice sounded.
“You… Why are you looking for me? I’m changing my clothes.”
Jiang Yining didn’t want Lu Zhi to know that she was Queen. She jumped out of her bed and quickly changed the page on her internet browser and took out a set of pajamas. She put the pajama top over her head as she took off her clothes.
Lu Zhi leaned his ear against the door to listen to the commotion inside her room.
“I have something urgent to discuss with you, so I’m coming in.”
“Wait!”
Jiang Yining panicked and almost tripped over her pants.
Lu Zhi didn’t give her time to react and opened her door with a key.
Click.
He pushed open the door. Jiang Yining was almost fully covered in her pajamas, except her fair and trim waist.
Lu Zhi’s eyes darkened, and his throat tightened.
Jiang Yining followed his gaze, bit her lower lip, and quickly pulled down her pajama top.
She then said with annoyance, “Lu Zhi, don’t you know how to respect a girl’s privacy? I said that I was changing, but you still barged in. What happens if you caught me naked?”
“At most, 1’11 take responsibility for you.”
Lu Zhi lowered his eyes and glanced at her computer.
Jiang Yining’s heart skipped a beat as she spat, “Who wants you to take responsibility for me? You lecher!”
Lu Zhi ignored the furious Jiang Yining and walked to her desk. “It’s the middle of the day and not yet time for an afternoon nap. Why are you changing into your pajamas?”
“I didn’t sleep well last night. I want to take an early nap. Do I need your permission?”
Jiang Yining saw him rummaging through her computer.
Liked a whirlwind, she rushed over and covered the computer screen with her hands.
“Don’t go through my things.”
“You don’t have any secrets. Why can’t I see what’s on your computer?” Lu Zhi put his hands on her sides as he approached her closely. “Unless you are hiding something on your computer and don’t want me to see it…”
Jiang Yining’s eye wandered. What did this mean?
She had just logged on to the hacker website when he came over and asked her about keeping secrets…
Could he have discovered that she was the hacker, Queen?
That was impossible…
Before she logged in, she had already set up several layers of protection.
Even the best computer experts couldn’t track her.
Jiang Yining felt more confident. She raised her chin slightly and said, “Everything on my computer is private! Any normal person would have their own little secrets, alright? Why should 1 tell you everything about me? Why don’t you show me your computer?”
“If you want to see what’s on my computer, you can go and look now. I won’t stop you.”
Lu Zhi’s thin lips moved slightly as he got even closer to her.
The two of them were so close that they were almost kissing…
Jiang Yining felt a little uncomfortable and avoided his burning gaze as she said, “I don’t want to look at your computer. Besides, you’re so rich and have countless computers. Your computer at home might not have anything valuable and that’s why you’re willing to let me check it.”
What an eloquent girl.
She was so flustered, yet she could still refute him.
She was unwilling to take any losses.
However, this was also good. At least she wouldn’t be bullied.
Lu Zhi said, “There are people who would pay 100 billion yuan for the things on my computer. Why is it worthless coming from your mouth?”
“Hmph, it’s worthless to me.”
Jiang Yining twisted her soft body and hugged her laptop close to her chest. “Didn’t you look for me for something very important? Instead of seizing the time to talk about important things, you are talking about such nonsense.”
When Lu Zhi heard her words, he remembered the excuse he had made up earlier.
He said with a chuckle, “I just wanted to ask if you have time next week to accompany me to meet someone.”
“Meet who?”
“A new business partner.”
“What’s his name?”
“I won’t tell you for the time being. Anyway, it’s a very important customer.
You will join us as Mrs. Lu.”
“Okay, I’ll go with you.”
The agreement between the two of them was that she would try her best to cooperate with his activities.
And he would try his best to protect her.
He had held up his end of the bargain, so she should too.
“Remember to dress up when the time comes. I want my woman to have a commanding presence.” Lu Zhi patted her head.
Jiang Yining was speechless.
She didn’t know if she should say an expletive.
What did he mean by his woman?
More importantly, he couldn’t just touch her head as he pleased!
It made her feel like she was his pet!
She complained loudly in her heart but she did not dare to say those words out loud.
Lu Zhi could read her inner dialogue from her expression and his smile deepened..
