The CEO's Woman

Bai'Li stared at the contrasting pixels of black and white in front of him.

For some reason, he felt nervous and maybe a little excited. Though this is not his first time seeing someone hack into a phone, this is the first time that he watching someone as proficient as Jiang Yue.

Bai'Li is also feeling proud and ecstatic. He did not choose the wrong boss after all. She is not only rich and beautiful, but she is also very smart and talented.

Suddenly, hysteric laughter broke out. It was clearly a laughter of triumph.

"Finally!" Jiang Yue was beaming from ear to ear.

"So, am.... again, May I know why you asked me to come? I mean... you can obviously do it all by yourself." Bai'Li said. Although he is very happy to witness this scene, he is also very uncomfortable ah.

Fu Jin is still staring at him and Jiang Yue seemed oblivious of it.

"Hmmm... I am doing the illegal stuff. But I need someone to watch it. In a while, she will call someone and I want you to listen to the call, then record and trace it."

"..."

Seeing that Bai'Li seemed to blank out. Jiang Yue immediately clarified.

"Oh... for evidence purposes." She shrugged.

"I... I mean can we even do that? Can we listen to their conversation?"

"Why not?" Jiang Yue let out a giggle. "I didn't let you do the illegal stuff so this should be fine right?"

"..."

"Don't worry, No one will know. I mean I won't tell anyone." She gives him a victorious smile.

Bai'Li looked at Jiang Yue then fixed his gaze at Fu Jin. What if Young Master Fu will betray them?

Jiang Yue is playing with the country's satellite ah. This could land them into prison. Although he used to hack into companies before, it is nowhere as dangerous as this.

Understanding what Bai'Li wants to say, Jiang Yue immediately walk towards Fu Jin.

The moment that Fu Jin sense Jiang Yue walking towards his direction his whole aura immediately change. His gaze turned as gentle as they can be.

"Don't worry about him. I can trust him. " Jiang Yue said, her face solemn. She does not understand Fu Jin yet. But she will. She knows she will. Soon.

"So, yeah. I will leave you here with Bei'Ye. Do not! And I mean it. Don't take your eyes off that monitor. She will call him any second now." She continued. Then she drags Fu Jin into her room.

Leaving a stunned Bai'Li and Bei'Ye inside the mansion's guest room.

The walked towards Jiang Yue's room is actually pretty short. After a few seconds, they were already inside her room.

Jiang Yue made sure to lock her room before she sat down, resting her elbows on the small study table in her room.

"So? Aren't you going to tell me what you know?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

She does not understand why Fu Jin always seems so tense around her.

Alright, she dragged him. And that might involve a little physical contact. Still, it should not warrant this type of reaction.

Isn't he overreacting?

What Jiang Yue didn't know was that Fu Jin is tense not because of the touch. But because they are actually inside her room.

Just the two of them.

In the middle of the night.

Both of them healthy and not sick in any way.

With the door locked from the inside.

Fu Jin might not admit it but he is afraid.

Afraid of what might happen.

Although his soul is actually old, he still in inexperienced ah. What if...

While Fu Jin is over thinking Jiang Yue's is slowly getting impatient. " You're not going to tell me?"

Her question sobered Fu Jin up.

"I have some information about Lu Shi's backer. He is not a simple man." Fu Jin relaxed. He might just be over thinking things.

Jiang Yue is still in her teens. He should not think about lewd stuff like that. At least not yet.

"I know." Jiang Yue nodded. "Do you know anything else aside from that?"

"I've dreamed of him before. He is a big stockholder in a big company that handles some talents. He will soon have Jiang Mian contracted as an artist." Fu Jin explained, hoping that Jiang Yue will believe him. He does not mind if Jiang Yue will laugh at him.

All he wanted is to warn her. He is afraid that Jiang Yue will also want to become an actress just like Jiang Mian. Just like in his past life.

"Interesting." Jiang Yue gets up and opened her laptop. "Do you know, why does Lu Shi know a man like him?" She asked.

She remembered that someone will scout Jiang Mian after their university's farewell party just a day after Jiang Mian's birthday. That would be two months from now.

If Lu Shi's backer is the one who paved the way behind Jiang Mian's acting career. Then the question that they should be asking is... Why?

"I asked Bei'Ye about it and he said, they have some interactions about 18 years ago. I have the complete files in my..you know what? Give me your laptop"

Jiang Yue obediently give Fu Jin her laptop and what she saw astounded her.

Fu Jin's fingers flew into the keyboard. He just hacked into his own computer. He sure knows what he is doing.

In less than a minute, Fu Jin was able to access the files and handed the laptop back to Jiang Yue.

"Didn't know you could do that." She said.

"You don't know a lot of things about me." Fu Jin retorted with a smirk.

Jiang Yue did not say anything as her attention was in her the laptop. Rows and rows of information flooded her eyes.

"Hmmm... I see." Jiang Yue's thoughts were interrupted by a knocked in the door. Fu Jin immediately opened it.

"Young Master, Young Miss, Lu Shi just called someone. I think you need to hear this"

....

On the other side of town. Lu Shi is pacing while holding her phone.

This is the second time that she called him, yet there is still no answer.

After the fifth ring, someone finally picked up the phone.

"Speak." an irritated voice can be heard on the other line.

"Li Qiang! I need your help. Jiang Mian is in trouble! You have to help her!" Lu Shi slurred.

"I heard." Li Qiang answered lazily. "Your daughter is stupid. What does it have to do with me?"

"Li Qiang, I am warning you! Jiang Mian is your daughter. I am not going down alone!"

"Hmmm.. think I'm afraid of your petty threats? You know I can make you and your daughter disappear within 24 hours. Right?"

"Do not test my patience! What do you think will happen if the Wang Family will know about what you did?" Lu Shi taunted.

"Fool. Someone is already digging my past. If it's not the Wang Family then who could it be?"

Li Qiang's statement made Lu Shi shiver in fear. Does that mean that the Wang Family knows about what she and Jiang Chanming did?

"W-what do you mean?" She inquired.

"What else?" He mocked. "Someone is digging up your secrets. Seems like your daughter is not the only one in trouble."

"Li Qiang! We are not going down without you! Jiang Chanming and I did not kill Wang Rou. It's you. You made it happen."

"Right. Keep believing that." She heard him chuckle.

"Your daughter is in trouble! Please... I'm begging you. She was not able to get the favor of Fu Jin. She... If Jiang Yue is going to pursue the-"

"Did you say Fu Jin? The Fu Jin from the Fu family?" Li Qiang's sudden interest in Fu Jin somehow gives Lu Shi a little hope.

"Yes. I thought he liked our daughter. But it turns out he liked Jiang Yue. That b*tch! You...you have to help our daughter. Please. I will do anything." She begged Li Qiang.

"Hmmm... I will." Li Qiang said after a moment of silence. "I will be back in three days. I want you to introduce me to my daughter."

"No. That cannot be! Jiang Mian... she does not know anything about you. Jiang Chanming is her-"

"None of my business. I want to meet her."Li Qiang declared. "Also, do not do anything to slight Jiang Yue and Fu Jin... Especially Fu Jin.

Then she heard another chuckle before the line went dead.

...

Somewhere overseas...

"Master. Are we really going back?" An old croaky voice echoed inside the room.

"Hmmm..."

"How about the madam? Are we going to bring her as well?"

"No. I want you to take care of her. Make sure she does not hear anything related to her daughter." Li Qiang said, his face solemn full of deeply hidden emotions.

The old man inside the room nodded.

"Did you hear anything about him?" He asked.

"Yes. He is still not aware that he had a daughter. I believe he already gave up looking for the Madam. He is still clueless of the Madam's true name."

"Hmmm...continue watching his every move. Do not let him know that he had a daughter!" Li Qiang said before he turned his back from the old man.

He then walks towards the bookshelf in his study and pulled one of the books at the top.

The bookshelf suddenly open.

Li Qiang started walking down the path inside the bookshelf that leads him into a room underground.

The room is elegant yet simple.

Li Qiang looked at the woman lying on the bed. If anyone who knows Jiang Yue would see the woman, they will say that they look almost exactly the same.

He then slowly lifted his hands and touch her pale cheeks.

"I'm sorry love... I cannot let him have you. You are mine Wang Rou. Only mine."
