Qiao Yin was sitting in Dongfang Mu’s Hummer. Accepting the towel he handed her, she dried her damp hair.
Dongfang Mu had considerately instructed the driver to raise the car’s temperature. He draped a blanket around her, handed her a spanking new white shirt – his actions thoughtful and gentle, with no trace of an aristocrat’s airs.
Qiao Yin was beginning to understand why, despite his philandering reputation, so many girls held steadfastly to their affection for him. He truly knew how to take care of people.
While she felt gratitude for his help, Qiao Yin harbored no ulterior motives.
She did not put on his shirt and maintained a distance from him, “Young Master Mu, do you have any work for me?”
Dongfang Mu grinned helplessly at her, “Do you really want work?”
“I signed the contract with you several days ago. Since then, you haven’t assigned me any tasks. I’m feeling somewhat uneasy.”
“The current work can be managed by those in the corporation. There’s nothing requiring your assistance. You are my trump card, my ace in the hole. However, our corporation will soon vie for an overseas project against Shengling Group. You will need to accompany me on a business trip to Finland that may last about two days.”
“Rest assured, Young Master Mu. I will do my best to secure the project for the corporation.”
Dongfang Mu chuckled lightly, “I’m aware of your capabilities; therefore, I’m confident of our victory in this bid. The one in charge of the project on Shengling Group’s side was initially Lu Shengqing. I thought we could have an easy win, but he disappeared unexpectedly. Shengling Group replaced him with Lu Lingche. I felt there was no chance of winning. But now that you’re here, we can give them a run for their money.”
Qiao Yin was somewhat surprised. How could he esteem Lu Lingche so highly?
Having followed Lu Lingche for five years, she was fully aware of his abilities. The external world and the Lu Family believe that Lu Shengqing’s capabilities were superior. But Qiao Yin knew that Lu Shengqing’s abilities paled in comparison to Lu Lingche. Many complex problems were actually solved by Lu Lingche on Lu Shengqing’s behalf.
But how did Dongfang Mu know this?
Dongfang Mu saw through her bewilderment straight away, “Lu Lingche and I were classmates in high school. To our class, he was an oddball. But to the teachers, he was a genius.”
“Once, our school’s network was hacked, exposing crucial information about a large number of students. It was Lu Lingche who rebuilt the school’s firewall, encrypting the students’ information. Any subsequent hacking attempts were repelled.”
“Of course, my high regard for him is not based solely on this incident. I won’t tell you the rest. Wouldn’t want to scare you.”
Qiao Yin listened quietly. Her expression did not change. She was fully aware of the degree of Lu Lingche’s genius.
She lifted her gaze to Dongfang Mu, “Young Master Mu, you can’t scare me. There’s something I should be honest about.”
“What is it?”
“Lu Lingche and I are currently married.”
Dongfang Mu’s smile remained unchanged, “I know. I’m glad you’re willing to be frank with me. You’re even more sincere than I thought.”
Relieved that he seemed unfazed, Qiao Yin exhaled, “I figured you couldn’t have overlooked checking my background. But it’s not that I intended to hide anything. I simply didn’t wish to bring it up because my marriage is on the brink of collapse. I could be divorcing Lu Lingche at any moment.”
“Lu Lingche doesn’t know that you’re Godkiller, does he? He seems to not even know about your abilities.”
“Yeah, he doesn’t.”
This time, Dongfang Mu almost burst out laughing, his eyes looking at Qiao Yin as if he was seeing a treasure, “You’re quite good at keeping secrets. You’ve really outwitted him. They can’t release their Tiansheng System to the market no matter what they try.”
People who could best Lu Lingche are a rare find indeed!
If he knew that Godkiller was Qiao Yin, his reaction would undoubtedly be priceless!
Such a thrilling prospect!
Lu Lingche, you used to beat me so many times.. But from now on, it is my turn to win!
