At dinner, all the staff were quite relaxed and they were chatting and laughing. Getting caught in the merriment, Murong Xue had a little too much wine and Long Yi failed to stop her.
At midnight, people said goodbye and left in twos and threes and Murong Xue paid the bill and walked out of the restaurant with Long Yi and the others.
However, they were stopped by a gang of hooligans at the gate before they could get into the car. Seeing this, Long Yi stepped forward to stand between Murong Xue and those troublemakers, and the others all reached for their guns with theirs backs to Murong Xue in a circle.
Ling wearing heavy makeup pouted, "Wang, it's her. She kicked me out of the company. You need to teach her a lesson." She was talking in an appealing voice to a man whose arms were around her waist and she glared at Murong Xue when their eyes met.
The moment Murong Xue heard Ling's voice, she knew everything. That receptionist found help and came to get her in trouble.
Murong Xue took a detour to walk to the front and asked coldly, "You want the Mo Group to be your enemy?" Mo Ziwen had told her before that the local gangsters paid allegiance to them, so she wanted to settle the problem peacefully even though Long Yi and his men were way more capable than enough to deal with those hooligans. She didn’t want to stir up too much trouble.
The man called Wang changed his face when hearing the Mo Group, "Nonsense! We are the Mo Group." He looked up to eye Murong Xue up and down.
Seeing Wang's face change because of Murong Xue’s words, Ling panicked, "Wang, what are you waiting for? They are outnumbered by us!" She had spent the whole afternoon with Wang and his men, playing all kinds of games with them, only to get revenge on Murong Xue. Her legs felt weak as water even now and she was determined to let Murong Xue pay the price.
"Shut your mouth!" Wang scolded Ling and kept staring at Murong Xue. He found her face quite familiar.
At this moment, one of his men walked up to Wang and whispered to him, "Boss, is she the one the leader asks us not to offend under any circumstances? Her photo is put on the wall in our base."
Eyes wide open, Wang thought of that photo. His leader told him that she was the real leader and that he should protect her with his own life. This secret might be unknown to his men, but Wang knew it clearly.
Seeing no progress, Ling reached for Wang's sleeve and pouted again, "Wang?"
With many changes of expression, Wang gave Ling a slap at last, "D*mn you! You ask me to hurt our Boss?"
Not knowing what happened, Ling could not believe the slap and asked while feeling her red swollen face, "Wang, I think you got it wrong. How could this b*tch turn out to be your...?"
"D*mn! You are the b*tch!" Wang gave Ling several hard kicks.
"Ah! Wang, stop it!" Ling covered her head with her hands and begged, but Wang's kick only got more and more fierce.
Only until Ling was unable to make any sound did Wang stop his violence. Then he put on an obedient face and walked up to Murong Xue with a smile, "Boss, it's a misunderstanding. Please forgive us." Now his vicious face only grew more horrifying.
Murong Xue would like to complain about the way he called her, but she knew the underworld men could never treat her the same way people did in the company.
"You take good care of her. Make sure she won't be a problem forever." Murong Xue saw that Ling was still glaring at her while lying on the ground and Murong Xue knew this woman would be another lethal person who wanted to kill her like Xiao Keli if Murong Xue did not get rid of her once for all.
Thinking of Xiao Keli, Murong Xue pulled a long face. She had wanted to kill Xiao Keli last time, but Huangfu Yi stopped her. She could understand that Loong Pavilion needed to find out who was behind Xiao Keli, but she could never feel safe as long as Xiao Keli was alive, not to mention her strong desire to get Huangfu Yi.
Wang thought that Murong Xue was still angry about Ling, so he gave her a few strong good kicks again. Then Ling's breathing became faint.
"Don't you worry about her, Boss. I know how to deal with her." Wang vowed.
"Thanks." Murong Xue nodded and got into the car.
Murong Xue could only put up with the hotel in the town for the next few days. The hotel there was not comparable to the five-star hotels in big cities, but luckily, Murong Xue was not picky. The others stayed in the hotel as well.
"Miss Murong, I'll be guarding outside the door. Please rest assured." Long Yi decided to spend the night on watch as he knew this place was not as safe as their base.
But hearing this, Murong Xue frowned, "No need. I won't be in danger. You all go to sleep. Don't stand outside my door."
Long Yi insisted, "We can't. We have to do this." He had stayed awake for days on a mission, so he had no feelings about being a night watch. The only thing he complained about was that this place was so remote that Loong Pavilion did not have a base there.
"Long Yi, come in with me." Murong Xue said.
Long Yi hesitated and followed her, wondering what she wanted to say to him.
When they entered the room, Murong Xue locked the door.
Long Yi trembled when the door was closed as he did not think it was appropriate for him to be alone with the woman Huangfu Yi loved at night.
Turning around, Murong Xue looked at Long Yi plainly, "Since you've seen it, I have nothing to hide from you."
Long Yi now was confused. Although some fantasies did occur to him before, he would never dare to have any personal feelings about Murong Xue.
The next second, Murong Xue disappeared.
Long Yi's mind went blank and his eyes were wide open. He even took a few steps to wave his hands in the air, trying to make sure that she disappeared.
After a few seconds, Murong Xue suddenly appeared in front of him, "Do you understand now?"
Long Yi was stunned, "Understand what?"
Seeing Murong Xue's face again, he suspected that he had an illusion.
Long Yi wiped his eyes and knew everything was fine with his eyes. Murong Xue did disappear and show up in front of him, and Long Yi began to wonder if she was capable of being invisible.
"I won't be in danger and you guys can go back to sleep." Murong Xue continued talking without knowing anything about Long Yi's feelings. After a while, she finally waved to him after hearing no response, "Hey, Long Yi, are you listening to me?"
"Miss Murong, you just did..." Long Yi threw his question at last. He had seen her do it and he had thought that it was some sort of magic at that time.
Murong Xue rolled her eyes at him, "Don't you understand? I can choose to disappear from the world and nobody can find me. I am totally safe, so you can go to sleep at night."
"Oh, well..." Long Yi only answered with mumbles as it was too overwhelming to him.
"You can go now since you know it." Murong Xue gave a push to Long Yi who was stunned.
Long Yi walked out of the door numbly and his mind was still wandering for a long time after the door was closed.
Murong Xue did not worry that Long Yi knew about her secret. Instead, she tossed and turned because of Xiao Keli.
Her grandparents now were under the protection of Loong Pavilion, so nothing remained to prevent her from pursuing further. She decided to find the organization that experimented on human beings illegally and got rid of Xiao Keli before she came to find her parents.
Murong Xue chose to sleep in the Space rather than on the bed of the hotel. The Space was the safest place in the world for her and she didn’t need to worry about others breaking into her room as Long Yi was out there.
After entering the Space, she went straight to the cave behind the running fall as she felt closer to her parents there.
She didn’t dare to get near the black hole giving out colorful lights as it was so attractive that she could be lost in it. She took a close look at the surrounding area, trying to find new clues, but all she got were the stone walls. Disappointed, she decided to leave, but she saw a rock standing out on the wall the next moment, and she walked over while feeling it strange.
She looked at the rock and found that it was a square cube. A cube standing out on a smooth wall was quite a strange scene and it was hard for people to believe that it was natural. So Murong Xue pressed it hard.
However, the stone did not move at all, and nothing around her changed. But Murong Xue would not give up as it might be the breakthrough that would help her rescue her parents. She examined it carefully though hope was frail.
She patted on it, knocked on it, and tried all kinds of means. She even shouted to it as people did in the fable, "Open Sesame. Open sesame. Open sesame…"
Certainly, the spell she learned from movies didn’t work at all. It was all in vain.
She did not like this result and accidentally twisted the stone.
Then there came a rumble.
The stone moved.
As the stone began to sink, the rock wall cracked and a door revealed itself.
There was a passage inside the door. Murong Xue took a peek inside there before entering it as she wanted to figure out if there were any hidden weapons. The passage was very long and she could not see where it would end from the outside.
She picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the passage.
The stone rolled over on the ground and produced clear sounds. Nothing changed when the sounds stopped.
Now Murong Xue stepped forward cautiously and moved very slowly. Not knowing why, she felt that the answer she wanted was inside there.
After about half an hour, Murong Xue still did not see the end of the long passage. On both sides of the passage, there would be giant glowing pearls every certain distance.
On the walls were some patterns and some of them were people doing different acts, which seemed like immortals and made her feel peaceful and happy.
Eager to find the introduction about the colorful hole, Murong Xue did not take a close look at those patterns.
After another half an hour, Murong Xue discovered a stone door without anything on it, and she could not find the way to open it, either. She tried to push open the door but failed.
She examined every inch of the door to find if there was a similar stone button.
She spent one hour finding nothing, and then she decided to go back the way she came.
When she got out of the cave, she went to the pavilion to relax her tired body. From today's exhausting work, she could imagine the hardships Gu Ming, Mo Ziwen, and Luo Shengfei needed to overcome every day.
Thinking of it, she felt guilty that the company she established depended on the hard work of others. It was not appropriate, and she should put in more effort.
It was the same with AX Company. Despite the professional management team, she thought that she should go and see for herself.
Then she thought of Mo Aili and wondered what she had been doing recently. It was rare that they did not contact each other for such a long time, but she was too busy to get in touch with her these days.
