The man by the surname Zheng furrowed his brows slightly. He had not expected Yang Yuxi to be so difficult to manage. When ordinary folks found themselves in such a situation, they would be on pins and needles and trembling with fear and caution. They would not dare to ask so many questions. Yang Yuxi was a woman but she seemed more calm and composed than many men. Facing them, she was logical in her speech and her attitude was neither arrogant nor servile. They were greatly surprised by this.

“Maybe she is not an ordinary person?” The man by the surname of Zheng frowned slightly while assessing Yang Yuxi with a sharp gaze. He wanted to read her mind but was disappointed. The woman in front of him had an honest aura. She looked soft but seemed strong at heart. He could not tell if there was any problem with her. Facing Yang Yuxi’s determined eyes, he murmured momentarily before saying, “We are bringing you to see someone. This is the only thing that I can tell you.”

“Who?” Puzzled, Yang Yuxi asked. “Sorry, I can’t reveal anything else,” the man by the surname of Zheng said. “Can you tell me where we are going then? You can’t possibly let me sit in the car for an entire night,” Yang Yuxi asked again. “You don’t have to worry about this. We are arriving at the destination very soon,” the man by the surname Zheng replied without any hesitation this time.

Yang Yuxi glanced outside. The car had arrived at the foot of the hill and was ascending the road along the hillside. It stopped about ten minutes later. “Miss Yang, we have arrived. Please get out.” The man by the surname Zheng opened the car door. After getting out of the car, Yang Yuxi sized up the surroundings. She was surprised to find herself in a manor on a hill. The manor was brightly lit and there were people walking around in it.

“Where is this?” Yang Yuxi asked curiously. “This is a private manor.” The person who spoke this time was not the man by the surname Zheng. Instead, it was a short-haired woman who approached them from nearby. “A private manor?” Yang Yuxi drew her brows together slightly. “That’s right. It’s a private manor. Miss Yang, the person who wants to see you is inside,” the man by the surname of Zheng said.

“Sorry to trouble you.” The short-haired woman nodded at the man by the surname Zheng. She then greeted Yang Yuxi, “Miss Yang, please follow me inside.” Yang Yuxi took a glance at the man by the surname Zheng but only saw him nodding his head. Although she was confused, she still followed the woman into the place.

The woman guided Yang Yuxi into a small courtyard. There were man-made hills and ponds in it. She could hear sounds of the water flowing, and flowers and greenery came into her view. Yang Yuxi’s horizons were widened.

“This must be Miss Yang, right? Please follow us.” After passing through the small courtyard, Yang Yuxi arrived at a door. Two women wearing cheongsams were already standing at the door to receive her. The two of them took over the job of the short-haired woman and brought Yang Yuxi into the place.

“There is so much formality.” Shocked, Yang Yuxi muttered silently to herself. In order for this person to see her, the people from the Ministry of State Security had to bring her to the manor first. Then, the short-haired woman brought her into the small courtyard. Now, there was someone else bringing her into the house. There was so much grandeur involved. Pondering, Yang Yuxi assessed her surroundings with indifference. After looking around, she could not help but revealed a stunned expression. The layout of this building was both elegant and graceful and there was an oriental element to it. The most stunning thing was that the ceiling of this building was actually transparent and they could see the stars in the sky clearly.

“Miss Yang, please go in.” When Yang Yuxi was trying to guess the identity of this person, the two women clad in cheongsams stopped in front of a enormous partition screen. “Okay.” Yang Yuxi nodded and walked past the partition screen. A hot spring came into her view and a man was soaking in it.

“It’s you.” At the sight of the man’s face, Yang Yuxi could not help but exclaim in shock.
