“Do you really think you’d get the chance to step on me again? Get lost, I’m busy.”
Huo Li walked past her as he massaged the point between his eyes. If he could not find anything on the missing duo soon, Brother Ting might just send him away to Myanmar.
Lin Yazhi pursed her lips. “Just tell me you don’t know anything, what’s with all the excuses? Humph!”
Huo Li ignored her and disappeared into his office, slamming the door shut behind him.
Lin Yazhi promptly left and went back to her seat, where she heard the other secretaries gossiping.
Without Secretary Lu, they have a much more difficult time in the office. Only Secretary Lu could handle the president.
Lin Yazhi looked at Lu Zhaoyang’s unoccupied desk. Lu Zhaoyang may act calm toward the other secretaries, but her absence was somehow palpable.

The thought scared Lin Yazhi.
She should have a file in HR. Alright, I’ll visit her place!
...
Huo Yunting was on his way to the Golden City when he received news that someone was watching Lu Zhaoyang’s apartment. He knew immediately who was behind it.
It was a small matter that he could settle by simply giving the orders, but he took a roundabout and made his way toward Lu Zhaoyang’s rented apartment instead.
There was a white sedan parking nearby. He walked toward the car and slowly knocked on the car window.
When the person inside saw him, he immediately rolled down the window. “Pre — President Huo...”
Huo Yunting did not even bother looking at him as he spoke slowly, “Scram.”
“President Huo... We’re only parking here for awhile, ha... haha...”
Even the answer felt awkward, but they were paid to do the job. Why would someone else be here so quickly?
“I said scram, do you hear me? Or do you need someone to make you leave?” They would get no mercy from him.
“No no no, we’re leaving now!”
The flash of cruelty in Huo Yunting’s eyes squashed any of their further attempts to negotiate with him. The car promptly sped away from the scene.
Huo Yunting leaned on his own car, took out a pack of cigarettes, and began smoking. The smoke clouded his vision.
Half a pack later, he still saw no signs of Lu Zhaoyang.
He did not even have a glimpse of her in his dreams for the past few days. It was as though she had vanished from his life completely.
Lin Yazhi had skipped work to visit Lu Zhaoyang. As she stepped out of the car, she saw something amiss.

Was she really seeing this? The president was smoking by the apartment entrance, looking a little lonely.
F*ck, she must be seeing things!
He and Lu Zhaoyang were siblings, so why was he at her place and showing that kind of expression?!
Lin Yazhi watched Huo Yunting quietly as he smoked. She nearly leaned too hard against the horn at some point and quickly sat up straight.
After smoking for some time, Huo Yunting finally left without noticing her.
She heaved a sigh of relief and entered the apartment. Lu Zhaoyang was not there, of course, but she did notice that the door lock was covered with dust, as though it had not been opened in a long time. That made her very anxious.
When she arrived at the office the next day, she went straight to Huo Li’s office.
“Continue your search! Are you expecting me to guide you step by step on how to do your job? This is only two people we’re talking about! You’re all useless!”
Huo Li was standing in front of his computer and yelling at someone on his phone.
