The sky soon wrap itself in a dark blanket, not a single speck of light can be seen as gray clouds still lingered with a shower of heavy rain.
Yue Ling turns off the lights in her office and steps out the door. The same time she closed the door, her assistant did the same with the door to his office. They were the only ones left in building, thus they had to lock up.
Also, due to Lu Tian returning to work, Yue Ling had suggested he take her car and she will catch a ride with Liu Shan.
*Ding
The boss and assistant walked shoulder to shoulder towards the elevator when the bell chimes in arrival. A figure wearing glasses steps out as the door slides open and seeing who it was, Liu Shan arch a brow and scoffs a chuckle.
"Well, don't you look like shit."
Qi Li was drenched by the sudden heavy rain outside. His hair was disheveled, and one can see the dark circles under his eyes like he had not slept at all.
When he heard the assistant's words full of ridicule, his eyes that could barely open glares at the man from behind his glasses.
"Well, I do feel like shit."
Yue Ling ignores their immoral conversation as it was a normal thing between her subordinates. Not only that, she could tell from a glance that Qi Li was not only tired but had also caught a cold since the man was quick to get sick.
"Why are you here? You should have gone home to rest and report whatever it was when you're well."
Qi Li was touched by her words full of worry for him. However, unlike him, Liu Shan rolled his eyes in annoyance.
He (Liu Shan) stares at the man from head to toe and walks over to a storage closet. Opening it, he grabs a towel and toss it to his comrade before heading for the elevator.
"Dry yourself or else you'll be the new human mop."
Qi Li was dumbstrucked by his words, but doesn't argue back. He use the towel to dry himself as he follows Yue Ling and Liu Shan to the elevator. Yue Ling press the button for the first floor and stares ahead.
"What is it?"
She asks since Qi Li had come to De L'amour. In the condition he is in, he could have waited, but if he is here, it can only mean it is something serious.
Qi Li stood a little behind Yue Ling on the right. He felt like he could faint at any second but takes a deep breath to steady his body and mind before telling her what happened.
After Dark Clouds dropped Ning Mei at the Ning family house, he and Nie Chen were task to keep a close watch from afar. They needed to see what the Ning family plans to do and whether Ning Mei was going to tell someone that she saw Yue Ling.
Surprisingly, the rookie model didn't tell anyone. However, due to what happened to her, the Ning family had disowned the woman and were sending her away to another country.
As they were planning to leave due to the rain, they witnessed something that was beyond their imagination.
Qi Li finish giving a recap of what happened. He heaves a long sigh and massage his forehead before continuing his words.
"Ning Xingyu gave poison to Ning Mei to end her own life."
Yue Ling and Liu Shan were slightly shock by the news, but not as much. The boss and assistant had long known that Ning Xingyu is a evil man. Judging by his personality, it's not surprising that he would steep so low and take his own sister's life.
Sending Ning Mei to another country was only an excuse to get rid of her for tarnishing the Ning family's name.
"Disgusting scumbag."
Liu Shan spat out in a low growl. He loathes Ning Mei to the core, but the thought of a family member ending the life of their own is the lowest thing. The thought of it shouldn't even come to mind.
"What about her body?"

Hearing the question, Qi Li scoffs a side sneer when he recalls what the Ning family did with their own daughter's body.
"They informed the authority that she had committed suicide due to her own shame."
Yue Ling remained in silence as she listens to her subordinate. She didn't like Ning Mei for what the woman did, but she pities her (Ning Mei).
She knows that Ning Mei's determination to become a famous model is due to her family's ill-treatment, but that shouldn't be an excuse to scheme against others.
Yes, it was wrong for her (Yue Ling) to toss the girl in the hands of Dark Clouds, but she threatened them not to rape the woman. Only scare her a little.
Her eyes slowly close to ease her mind. As she reopens them, the elevator arrives on the first floor and the doors open.
"Keep a close eye on Ning Xingyu."
Liu Shan and Qi Li glance at one another then to their boss who had already stepped out of the elevator.
Neither men understood why she would order them to watch the man, but not prying for more details, they decide to trust her judgement.
After all, Ning Xingyu is an obnoxious man and thinking about how he has his eyes on Yue Ling, both Liu Shan and Qi Li's eyes flash dangerously.
Never in his (Ning Xingyu) dream will they allow the scumbag near their boss again.
As Yue Ling and Liu Shan enter the same car, Qi Li was going to ride his motorcycle home, but due to the heavy rain and his condition, Yue Ling was against it. She cannot let a friend of her drive in the rain, especially when they can barely stand up.
However, unbeknownst to them, in another part of Imperial, Yue Ling's white Maserati Granturismo enters an underground parking lot near the entrance to the underworld.
"Boss."
Lu Tian had only stepped out of the driver side when he heard a man's voice. He looks at the person as it was Jiangyu, but standing next to him were also Xu Long, Yiqing and Huan Min.
When Xu Long told them that the aloof man was going to enter the underworld alone, they couldn't help but try to persuade him in letting one of them go too. However, he order them to wait.
But what if something goes wrong? How will they explain the situation to their boss lady?
Xu Long press his lips tightly together before taking a step forward.
"Boss let me go with you. I'll make sure that you won't even know I'm there."
"…"
Jiangyu snorts at the assistant's words while Yiqing and Huan Min's eyes turned heavy. They know that Xu Long is a goofball with great reflexes, but did he have to disregard them?
It wasn't like he's the only one who wants to go with their boss.
"I'm going alone."
Lu Tian's deep voice sounds in indifference. He hands the key to his wife's car to his assistant then walks over to the car Jiangyu had driven to the place.
"Wait here."
Knowing that he will never take back a word he has spoken, the four men could only reluctantly oblige.
They watched in silence as their aloof boss enters the less attracting car and drives out of the underground parking lot.
