Chapter 3

Fang Xin woke up slowly from the morning light. Seeing her own naked body, her brain buzzed and went blank.

Her scattered memories pieced together everything from last night.

She remembered that she was at the charity ball last night and a group of her mother’s old friends came to toast her.

She was drunk and was taken away by a strange man. After that… after that, she mistook that man for Lu Ting and had a one-night stand…

Fang Xin’s stomach churned as she thought of the fat, filthy middle-aged man from last night, and she silently screamed.

She covered her mouth, rushed into the bathroom and dry-retched for a long while.

When Fang Xin looked up at herself in the mirror, her face was covered in tears.

She had betrayed Lu Ting!

It felt like someone had twisted a knife in her heart and it kept bleeding.

Her brain had completely stopped working. Even when Aunt Liu came to fetch her, she just followed in a daze.

When she was almost home, she suddenly said, “Send me abroad.”

She couldn’t stay in this country where Lu Ting lived!

Aunt Liu didn’t ask anything. She just quietly packed for Fang Xin and took her to the airport.

Fang Xin’s phone rang when she was in the waiting lounge. It was Lu Ting. She saw the caller ID “Elk Knight” and felt that it was ironic.

She could not face him at all.

Fang Xin turned off her phone and threw away her SIM card.

Tears blurred her world. Her world is dark from then on; there was no more light.

The man whose only thoughts were to return quickly and propose never expected that when he came back with a ring, he was met with an empty room.

The woman who was sleeping soundly in bed had disappeared.

“Find her!” The air was still filled with Fang Xin’s faint scent, but Lu Ting had a bad feeling.

The assistant who was standing at the door heard Lu Ting’s voice and his heart skipped a beat. But he quickly calmed himself.

They both thought that Fang Xin had just gone home, but they didn’t expect that she would disappear from the face of the earth for five years.

Five years later, A-City.

Lu Corporation, President and CEO’s office.

The computer screen flashed twice, and a bright red virus signal appeared.

The assistant’s heart tightened. From the corner of his eye, he saw Lu Ting’s face turned darker than the computer screen. It was so gloomy that it made people panic.

“President, I’ll immediately call the technical support staff to come up and deal with it.” The assistant endured enormous pressure when he said this and nervously waited for Lu Ting’s reply.

Ever since that morning five years ago, his boss had completely changed.

In the past few years, his methods had become more and more ruthless and his personality, more and more unpredictable.

After the old chairman passed away, Lu Ting became the new chairman of the Lu Corporation. He ruthlessly took back power from the old guards, forcing out all monkey business.

It’s as if he had become a cold-blooded, emotionless workaholic, bringing the Lu Corporation to its peak.

While others did not know why, the assistant clearly understood the cause and effect.

It was because the CEO’s girlfriend, whom he was supposed to marry five years ago had completely disappeared after spending a night with him. Lu Ting suspected that someone close to him had done something.

So, the naïve young man at that time walked down a path of no return.

Thinking of this, the assistant let out an indiscernible sigh.

After waiting a long time for a response, the assistant was about to bite the bullet and ask again when the computer screen flashed a few times and suddenly lit up.

Then, a tender voice came from the other end of the computer and asked Lu Ting, “You are Lu Ting?”
