The alarm clock by the bed ticked away, while the beautiful woman on the bed had long since fallen into a deep sleep, a faint smile on her lips.
Lei Tianyi glanced at the time; Li Yu should be sending the information soon. His slightly narrowed eyes were now capable of making any woman infatuated.
Lei Tianyi looked at the door connecting to Leng Youlan’s room, unconsciously lifting the corner of his mouth. His girl should be fast asleep. He got out of bed and entered the bathroom.
Leng Youlan waited until the clock struck one.
She quietly got up from the bed. Around midnight, she heard Lei Tianyi moving about. Calculating that he had been working for about an hour, this was the best time for her to leave.
She packed a simple bag, using only a small package. She had very few personal belongings and would not take any of the items Lei Tianyi had bought for her.
Opening the door, she followed the route she had planned during her earlier house tour and quickly left the villa.
Xiu, who had just returned from Li Yu, saw a figure sneaking out of the villa. A teasing smile played on his lips as he quickly walked up.
“Who are you?” A chilling voice cut through the silent night.
Leng Youlan was momentarily stunned, immediately feeling a sharp palm wind attacking from behind. She quickly dodged to the side, secretly glad about her quick and agile reaction.
Seeing her easily evade his attack, Xiu realized he was no match for her. His usually gentle face turned serious and cold. He desperately used his best skills, hoping to stall her until someone from the villa could come to his aid.
Her beautiful, bright eyes flashed a hint of panic. She didn’t want to alert anyone. While dodging his attacks, she looked for a chance to escape.
Suddenly, a flash of light in her eyes: “Ah! It’s you, stop! I’m not an assassin!”
Xiu, who had been puzzled by her only dodging and not fighting back, immediately stopped his attack. His bright eyes fixed intently on her approaching face.
Miss Leng, what urgent matter brings you out so late?”
