The night passed by silently and the killer did not pay a visit to Zi Yi’s villa.
When Zi Yi got up in the morning, she felt regretful. “It’s a pity that I can’t test my upgraded protection system.”
Lu Jingye, who was currently sitting on the sofa and reading the global financial news, looked up at her.
Zi Yi felt his gaze and went over as she sat beside him. She glanced at his tablet and said, “Can you be even more boring than this? You’re reading global financial news early in the morning…”
She took away the tablet from his hands and pulled him up. “Come on, let’s go for morning exercises.”
Lu Jingye looked at her hand and asked, “Where?”
“Let’s go outside and run.”
“I’ll go get a change of clothes.”
He then pulled out his hands and went upstairs.
When Lu Jingye, dressed in casual clothes appeared before Zi Yi’s line of sight, her eyes lit up.
Lu Jingye was originally handsome. Normally when he wore a suit, he would look calm and restrained. After he changed into casual clothes, the aura he gave off seemed to have changed into one that was elegant and gentle.
“Lu Jingye, you’re really handsome!”
He looked at the young lady’s sparkly eyes and signaled to her. “Aren’t we going for a run? Let’s go. We’ll be in time for breakfast when we return.”
“Mm-hmm.”
The duo walked out of the courtyard together and started running on the road.
Rarely would there be cars or pedestrians passing by here. Therefore, early in the morning, the road was basically empty.
Zi Yi ran and looked at Lu Jingye at the same time. No matter how she looked at him, she felt that he was particularly handsome today.
“Look at the road.”
Lu Jingye would remind her from time to time.
In the end, he simply had no other option but to pull her hand and run together.
Zi Yi was elated.
This type of happy mood lasted until they arrived at the gates where Lu Jingye suddenly received a call.
Zi Yi saw a sudden change in his expression as he said, “I’ll be right over.”
After he hung up the phone, he said, “Yiyi, I have to be away for several days. I’ll leave some bodyguards for you.” He paused for a moment before he continued. “It’s best if you stay in my villa.”
Looking at his serious expression, she asked, “Did something happen?”
“It’s something that happened in my family.”
Lu Jingye took large strides inside after he said that.
Looking at Lu Jingye’s back view, it was her first time seeing him walk in such a hurry. She guessed that the problem at home must be rather serious. She pursed her lips and thought about whether she should hack into the Lu family security system.
Lu Jingye left immediately after.
In the end, Zi Yi hacked into the Lu family CCTV, but she did not discover any big problems.
She found it strange and thought, “Could something have happened to Lu Jingye’s younger brother?”
The Lu family was very meticulous. In particular when it came to Lu Jingye’s younger brother. There were no traces of him on the internet.
Zi Yi checked out the underground black market and discovered that the reward money for several medicinal ingredients together with the bounty for catching the silver fox was at the very top.
She then continued checking and the person who sent out the reward was anonymous and did not continue to pursue it.
She was more interested in the silver fox and so, she checked up on her, only to find out that she was ranked second in the list of the killer leaderboard. She possessed strange martial arts, and coupled with her proficiency in disguise, she had never appeared before people with her real appearance. Therefore, no one knew of the silver fox’s true appearance.
“Silver fox.”
Zi Yi thought for a moment. “Lu Jingye’s younger brother is so skilled, but you were able to repeatedly escape from his pursuit. It seems like you’re really skilled.”
She felt that she honestly wanted to meet with her.
But before that, she decided to create some items that were unavailable in this world.
In the following days, Zi Yi stayed cooped up in the racing club.
Time passed by in a flash and it was soon time for the college university examination results to be released.
