Zheng Minzhe

8:30pm —

A black Porsche stopped in front of the gate.

"Young Master, we have arrived." The driver said.

The 'Young Master' sitting in the back seat, slowly opened his eyes. He turned his head to his left and the sight of the profound building welcomed him. As it did, the streetlights reflected his own wise and cold eyes along with his perfect facial features.

God.

That maybe the first description anyone can give once they saw his face... But his eyes screamed of a Sage.

Zheng Minzhe quickly got out of the car. Closing the door behind, he leaned back as he pulled his cellphone out of his pocket.

Wearing a black windbreaker, blue jeans and black rubber shoes, one would never think he was in the right place. But with his handsome built and stature, he will always stand out even if he was in a wrong one.

Devil.

His aura was that of a devil. Cold, domineering, suffocating.

He checked on the time. The documents should be in his hands by now. He quickly made a phone call.

"You said 8:30 pm." Without waiting for the other to speak, he said the words coldly.

The other man shuddered as if he was facing the man in front of him. He swallowed. "Boss, the files were sent to the library an hour late so there maybe delay but the Director assured that you will get them before midnight."

Minzhe furrowed his brows slightly. "Why were the files sent late?"

The other man swallowed once more. "There was a problem with the second case that we needed to review it again but don't worry. We have been sending the files to this library for more than 2 years and they always finished the tasks on time. Since we sent the files late, the workers may have needed more time on completing them."

Minzhe pursed his lips. The delay indeed started from their side resulting to a domino effect but the cases today were of utmost importance.

"Hm." Minzhe barely responded before hanging up the call. He walked to the entrance with large strides as he kept his phone and taking out an insignia. The guards, upon seeing it, bowed respectfully to him before opening the gate.

Meanwhile, the man on the other line wiped off invisible beads of sweat on his forehead as he heard the disconnected tone.

"Pffttt." The other man in his office who had witnessed the film strip laughed. "You better prepare a detailed explanation for the cause of delay." He teased as he watched the man with amusement.

The victim, Shen Yanlin, glared at him. "Don't drop all the responsibility to me. You were a part of this too!" He gloated before finally lighting up the cigarette stuck in between his fingers for a while now.

As soon as he entered the building, he scanned the area quickly to only find a single counter still lit up. He walked over and stopped in front of it.

Aunt Mian looked up as soon as she felt a presence thinking it was Li Yao... but she was not. She was stunned though to see a very handsome man but as she looked at his eyes, she quickly averted her gaze.

Scary.

No matter how she found him handsome, she felt that the man was scary.

"Where are the files?" Minzhe asked, not bothered with her reaction nor her lack of greetings.

"S... She must be finished n... now, S... Sir." Aunt Mian answered nervously. "I... I will check up on her." She then stood up and took the cold food atop the counter.

Minzhe narrowed his eyes as he looked at the food. "No need." With his eyes fixed on the food, he followed. "Is this food for that employee?" He then looked at her.

Aunt Mian's mouth trembled a bit. "Y... Yes.. She..."

Before Aunt Mian could finish, Minzhe took the food from her and walked towards the stairs.

'Slow.' He thought.

Aunt Mian plopped on her chair, dropping her rigid shoulders. The man was really scary she thought she would still wet her pants despite her age. She quickly uncapped the bottle and drank mouthfuls of water to calm her tumultuous mind and raising heart.

When Minzhe reached the second floor, he stopped and scanned the area once more. There was also a single source of light remaining. He headed towards its direction in silence, in quick paces.

While the cases were important, he was not the type to ignore one's health. The employee had to skip dinner to finish the task but once done, cold food was the only consolation. He indeed slightly felt guilty.

When he reached one end of the long table, his eyes quickly darted at the petite figure 4 meters away from him.

'Employee? This young?' He began to doubt but she was the only person here. He slowly walked to the other side of the table, never leaving his eyes on her.

The girl was so focused she did not even notice his presence. If he was a bad guy or a criminal, this girl would have a bad ending already. With her hair down, her face was covered. Hence, he never had a glance even of her side profile.

He arrived in front of her, sitting opposite of her. And she still failed to notice his presence...

He stared at her then. With her head and hair down, he still could not see her face... But thin... She's thin and she still afforded to miss a meal. Her complexion was also not fair. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her clothes.

'High... school?' They allowed a highschool student to work on these cases? Wha... She was working on these cases even after attending her classes?

Minzhe rubbed his temples. He thought everything did not make sense. Everything felt wrong. He doubted this employee was the same one doing these things for the past three years. It was even unbelievable to think a highschool student can work on these cases!

So she must be new? Even he wasn't sure.

His gaze landed on the black binder she wasn't working on. He slowly reached out his hand to get it when a small slender hand pulled it away from him at a beat.

He was startled a little, creating ripples in his eyes. He then looked up and was more startled now before he was even stunned.

This girl in front of him had very exquisite features in her small face. Despite her complexion not being fair, it did not diminish her beauty at all. Her thin eyebrows slightly raised, her big deep eyes focused on him, coldly seeping through his being, her nose tall, her pink lips pursed. He can tell her face was smooth and soft.

"Who are you?" She asked coldly, treating the man as her enemy as she closed the other binder, hugging both near her chest with her two slender arms.

The man was handsome, no doubt, and Li Yao believed he was the most handsome man she had ever seen but if he was an enemy, she would destroy that face first before killing him.

That woke Minzhe up from his daze. He calmed his thoughts as he observed her once more, raising his eyebrow slightly at the sight of the binders being protected by her.

"Are you done?" He asked back instead of answering her question, not leaving his sight on the files.

Li Yao furrowed her brows as confusion flashed across her eyes, suffocating the binders even more.

"Who are you?" She questioned once more as her malicious aura directed at him intensified, ready to grab the pen in front of her.

Minzhe did not fail to notice that, his lips curving upward as amusement filled his eyes. She sure was not afraid, he thought.

He placed the cold food atop the table. He also took out the same insignia from his pocket, tucked in between his fingers showing it to her before placing it on the surface.

Li Yao glanced at the insignia. A light flashed across her eyes. She sighed softly, withdrawing the killing intent boiling inside her. She placed the binders atop the desk, opening the one she was working on.

Looking at the man before her once more, she replied "5 minutes" pushing the other binder towards him before returning to her work.

Amused, Minzhe chuckled softly before opening the binder and reading the contents. As he continued reading on, he pursed his lips not because of its contents, but because of what she had written.
