Shrouded in darkness, the dimly lit private room.
"Get the word out, whoever provides information, the reward is up for grabs. I just want the person." The cold voice sent a shiver down everyones spine.
"Feng, the message has been sent everywhere; there should be news soon. I think Xiao Ke must have a reason for her actions." Another man soothed.
"No matter where she runs, find her for me." The man ignored the consolation, his face stern as he left.
"Yi Xiaoke, who gave you the right to leave me? It seems Ive been too lenient with you; youris getting bigger." The cold man thought angrily.
Back home, the room was desolate, and he was alone, lost in memories.
2 months ago.
"Nian Qing, do you think I should go?" Yi Xiaoke lay on the table, confused.
"Xiao Ke, the internship opportunity the school gave you is rare. Its perfect since you dont have much to do in your senior year. Take the chance to get some experience and maybe cure your timidity," Murong Nianqing said, not forgetting to tease.
"Im not timid," Xiao Ke insisted.
"Really? Then what brings Miss Yi out in the blazing sun to meet me? Not just for a casual juice, I hope. I know the professors cant do without you lately; are you free these days?" Murong Nianqing continued to probe, seemingly notto let go of Miss Yi today.
"No, I asked for leave from my professor. I told him I was researching a major life event, and he gave me time off. Haha... You should have seen the look on his face when I said that," Xiao Ke couldnt help but laugh thinking about it.
"Could he not be surprised? Who doesnt know you in school, always keeping the boys at arms length. Maybe the professor thought you were going for a matchmaking event or to get married. Who wouldnt be shocked?" Nianqing looked like he knew everything.
"I see," Xiao Ke said, enlightenment on her face.
"Alright, back to the point, are you going to Jis Group or not? Many people want to get in but cant, let alone as an intern like you. You should understand how much face your professor pulled for you to have this chance," Nianqing seriously persuaded.
"But I heard that their CEO, Ji Bingfeng, is notoriously ruthless and impartial. If I mess up, Im doomed," Xiao Ke worried.
"You are our schools famous talented woman, is there anything you cant accomplish? What are you worried about? Or are you afraid of something?" Nianqing asked with understanding.
"No, Im not afraid of anything. As long as I work diligently and stay out of trouble, what could happen?" Xiao Ke suddenly made up her mind.
"Thats the spirit. Go back and tell your professor, see when to report for duty. Call me if you need anything," Nianqing instructed.
"Okay, got it. Dont worry. Im heading back to school now; I need to talk to my professor. Bye," Xiao Ke hurriedly stood up and walked towards the door.
Nianqing watched Xiao Ke leave, shaking his head in exasperation. Once determined, she was really decisive, leaving him here all alone. He hoped she wouldnt run into any trouble at the company. Well, since he had no other plans, he might as well see her back to school to be at ease. With her recklessness, she was indeed a cause for concern. With that thought, he got up and went out to look for Xiao Kes figure.
