Helian Wei Wei furrowed her brows, bit her lips while her eyes began to tear, “Please, don’t...”

Her pleas deepened Baili Jia Jue’s gaze, and his kiss grew increasingly potent and domineering.

Helian Wei Wei felt that she was almost burned by the high temperature of his skin, which was closely stuck to hers. She could faintly hear his words ringing in her ear, “Can the hot guys, who you infatuate with, please you like this?”

Helian Wei Wei felt a tingling sensation on her scalp. Her body temperature rose as he groped her body. Even the fools would understand that His Highness was trying to make her pay for the words she spoke before.

In fact, she merely made a casual joke.

How can he even remember that?

As if he could read her mind, Baili Jia Jue spoke in an indifferent tone, “Unfortunately, I am indeed a petty and ruthless grudge-holder.”

Helian Wei Wei ran out of argument.

“Don’t ever think about leaving me.” Baili Jia Jue’s large hands grabbed her body tight before he kissed her soft breasts through her blouse. “Otherwise, I will make sure that you will never get off this bed.”

Despite her reluctance, Helian Wei Wei shivered involuntarily as though her soul was sucked out of her body. Her cheeks were flushed red as she gasped for breath.

On the other hand, the culprit remained wearing an elegant and virtuous expression as his fingers ran along the curvature of her body before his lips eventually pressed against hers. “Do you hear me?”

Being her sensible self, Helian Wei Wei understood that she should not defy His Highness. Therefore, she blinked as a sign of submission.

Pleased, Baili Jia Jue released his grip on her. “Good girl. You may now have your dinner.”

Helian Wei Wei was speechless. Wait a minute, is he done? But, I still have a lot to say! She reckoned that it was about time to give His Highness a lecture! She was a person of principles and he should not touch her without her consent every time he tried to threaten her.

“I have ordered the Imperial Kitchen to prepare your favorite spicy crab and beef shank.” Baili Jia Jue tidied his shirt. When he noticed that Helian Wei Wei was staring at him, he raised his eyebrows. “What do you want? Would you like me to proceed?”

Helian Wei Wei quickly shook her head and sat down obediently with her bowl in her hands. Beef shank! She had been craving for beef shank for a very long time. Perhaps I’ll talk to him on another day.

The dinner was served. The Imperial Kitchen was certainly more efficient when Baili Jia Jue was around.

Beef shank was briefly boiled with water to preserve the chewiness of the meat. It was then stir-fried without any seasonings. The cooked meat would later be sauced before the dish was served. The freshly served hot beef shank smelled extremely delicious.

Helian Wei Wei was overwhelmed by bliss immediately after she took the first bite. The aroma lingered on her palate as she chewed on the beef.

However, her stomach was not filled no matter how much she ate.

She felt thirsty as her stomach continued to growl, requesting to be fed.

Therefore, she ate another two spicy crabs, three bowls of rice, a big meat bun and two sweet rice dumplings... As Helian Wei Wei feasted, she noticed that something was amiss. Apparently, she had even devoured His Highness’ portion of food.

Helian Wei Wei paused her action before she threw a glance at Baili Jia Jue.

However, His Highness did not make any comment. He looked good even when he was eating. With the chopsticks in his hand, he appeared like a model who wore an ancient costume in the poster. After she took a piece of crab and silently put it in his bowl, he put down the chopsticks in his hand. Then, he received a white handkerchief from the maid to wipe his hands before he gently tidied her messy hair that was covering her cheeks. “You don’t have to give it to me. You should eat more.”

Helian Wei Wei nodded before she savoured all the food on His Highness’ plate, so that no food would be wasted.

She knew that His Highness was a picky eater. Although he remained expressionless as he ate food like carrots, the corner of his lips would droop. She decided to take the food he disliked and put it into her bowl as she enjoyed all food equally.

Baili Jia Jue was done before her, but he did not leave the dining table. He sat quietly beside her, resting his left arm on the back of Helian Wei Wei’s chair. Occasionally, he reached out with his right hand to take more food for her.

Eventually, Helian Wei Wei was so full that she could barely move. It was Baili Jia Jue who wiped her hands for her and helped her up. “How do you like to start the investigation?”

3“Of course we will start with the person who still hasn’t fallen victim. All the girls around the area have gone missing, but there’s a girl, Yan Liu’er, still remains unaffected. Don’t you find this strange?” Helian Wei Wei rubbed her little belly leisurely as she spoke.

Looking at her fox-like and shrewd expression, Baili Jia Jue could not help but kissed her on her lips, “How so?”

“Usually, the person who is exempted from harm is either the criminal or somehow related to the criminal. Otherwise, she should be the culprit’s next target,” Helian Wei Wei spoke in a nonchalant tone, but her eyes were sparkling. “Regardlessly, we have to locate her.”

Helian Wei Wei’s intuition told herself that the undeciphered disappearance of these people must be related to the source of the infection.

She began to feel suspicious when Lord Li said, “There was nothing amiss at the scene.”

There must be, more or less, some traces left behind at the scene, but the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs said that they discovered absolutely nothing.

If he was right, then this case should not be handled the same way as a common missing person case.

Nevertheless, she had to act quick to unearth the truth...

The sun had yet to set and it was snowing outside. The Capital appeared lively as people of all ages passed by the main streets. The place seemed peaceful as usual.

However, the air was totally different in the back alley. The surroundings were swamped by darkness and complete silence. As they walked into the alley, their footsteps echoed across the atmosphere.

Yan Liu’er had no intention to leave her house at dusk as the neighborhood had not been peaceful recently. However, she was supposed to deliver the shoes she made to her customers and she had to send it by dawn.

She hastily left her home and the trip was smooth as usual.

All of a sudden, she felt a chill down her spine. It was as though someone was tailing her and the thought creeped her out.

Yan Liu’er felt increasingly perturbed and uneasy as she approached the alley.

Frightened, she briefly stopped in her tracks before she held her breath and sprinted forward.

She stopped to catch her breath when the fear had finally vanished. She rested with her hand pressing on her long legs.

However, at that moment, she noticed an additional shadow on the ground!

Yan Liu’er froze as the blood rushed toward her brain. She was too horrified to raise her gaze.

Fortunately, the shadow seemed to be a good distance away from her. If she could run fast enough, she should be able to reach home, which was located at the corner of the alley, safe and sound. The people who lived along the alley were still awake at that hour and they should be able to notice her if she screamed for help.

When Yan Liu’er was contemplating on how to run away from danger, the owner of the shadow spoke, “Liu’er? Are you alright?”

Upon listening to the familiar voice, Yan Liu’er heaved a sigh of relief...
