"You are very suspicious Dr. Li. I can’t make myself believe that in such a big city like Hong Kong, it was a coincidence that it was you who found me." Jing Lihua voiced out her suspicion. She expected to be given a satisfactory explanation. But she was given a totally different response. "It was no coincidence" Jing Lihua was perplexed. "Were you following me?" Suffused with confusion, her voice was less calm than she intended. Li Zhiqiang chuckled, sat on a couch cross-legged and gazed at…-

"Is this a joke?" Jing Lihua was lost. He looked completely serious; he didn’t look like he was joking. Li Zhiqiang didn’t reply. His amused eyes looked at her. He pointed at her leg. "We need to get that fixed first." He leaned forward. With a swift, light moment, he picked her up. Jing Lihua’s face filled with utter disbelief. "What are you doing?" With the close proximity, her face was inches away from his face. Moreover, his shirt was still not buttoned. She could feel his body heat through…

Jing Lihua felt hotness enveloping her. Finding the comfort in that strange hotness, she leaned in and snuggled into it. So comfortable. Suddenly, her eyes opened widely. Her head was resting against a n.a.k.e.d shoulder. Strong arms were protectively wrapped around her waist; her face was sunk into the man’s neck. A blanket covered both of them and kept them warm. Startled, she sucked in a deep breath. Hot breaths hit the top of her head and a faint pleasant fragrance assaulted her nose. Big…

Jing Lihua had walked for almost four hours when her vision had started to go blurry. It was only worsening with time. Her face was flushed; she was having a slight fever. The wound on her leg was a big hindrance. She had torn off a piece of her shirt and tightly wrapped it around her leg to stop the bleeding. But when she exerted to move, the blood would seep out. "Damn Hong Kong" She cursed the city a thousand times and struggled to move through the thick forest. It was already darkening. Jing Lihua…

On the quiet rood, the only audible sound was the smooth fraction between the rubber tires and the asphalt road. She recited the words she had planned to say to Mr. Li to make him agree to her proposition. Jing Lihua glanced out through the glass and her eyes landed on the forests on both sides of the long road. Her eyebrows furrowed. "Where are we headed for?" "Mr. Li personal residence" Jing Lihua leaned back against the leather seat. She had expected to be taken to his office. But at this…

"What did he say?" "He said he’ll be expecting you tomorrow. They will send a car to pick you up from the airport" Xiu Mei’s face was filled with awe. "President, If I may ask when did you make an acquaintance with Mr. Li? I’ve heard that he is an extremely busy man. Only after waiting for three months, someone can manage to get an appointment with him" "The answer to this question is what I don’t know... When did I make an acquaintance with ’Devil’?" Jing Lihua voiced out her thoughts as…

Jing Lihua climbed back into Zhao Liying van and traveled back to her apartment. On her way, she was preoccupied with the thoughts of this mysterious ’Mr. Li’. Zhao Liying had already escaped after selling her off. "Where were you?" An angry voice rang out from her back when she closed the door after entering her apartment. "In the hospital, of course," Jing Lihua turned and said calmly "To get the check-ups" "If you intended to go to the hospital, why would you try to trick the guards?"…

Zhao Liying looked at the time. It was already at 9 pm. Her manager had started calling her. She was supposed to be at the airport by 8:30 pm. After much contemplation, she had to block him. She couldn’t afford to attend her call. Her Xiao Hua had warned her a lot that her grandfather was a very suspicious man. Damn you, Xiao Hua! Where are you? You promised to come back before 8 pm. I’m never going to trust your words again! Zhao Liying had already sent Jing Lihua more than twenty messages, half…

After a hearty chase, Li Xun had finally managed to capture Tang Huang who was ready to fly away from the country after taking the first flight. He was dead tired when his brother finally returned to Hong Kong. He was a little happy that now that his brother was home, he could finally get some rest. Never in his wildest dream would he pray again for his brother to leave Hong Kong! When Li Zhiqing climbed out of the plane, Li Xun had already walked there to greet him and to report to him. Li Xun was…

In the afternoon Zhao Liying barged into her apartment and spoiled the peace of the environment. "Xiao Hua! I’m so sorry. I couldn’t come when you woke up. I was so worried. I wanted to come but that old man wouldn’t let me. Only by threatening him using your name, could I slip away from his hands. How are you?" "Would you be silent for a minute? My grandfather just snoozed off. I don’t want to be forced back into my room." Jing Lihua was thinking of the ways to escape while Zhao Liying…
