Mysterious Girl

In the city’s graveyard under the clear blue sky, a young, petite and pretty girl stood before a gravestone, her gaze gentle but determined.

As she looked at the monochromatic picture of the sweet and beautiful young woman on the gravestone, the girl pursed her tender lips and said softly, “Don’t worry, Big Sis. I won’t let your hard work fall into their hands. I remember everything you told me, and while I might not have your talent, I’ll still help you raise a proper heir for Ruan Industries. I’ll do it my way!”

That night, the door to the presidential suite on the highest floor of S City’s most high-class seven-star Imperial Majesty Hotel was easily broken past.

A petite little figure darted into the room.

The room was completely pitch black. The lights were off, and visibility was zero.

Thankfully, Ruan Mengmeng’s five senses were naturally sharp. She had extraordinary strength, as well as well-developed athletic intuition and reflexes.

As soon as she entered the room, she noticed an infrared alarm sensor behind the door.

She pinched it with a little force, shattering the alarm. Only then did Ruan Mengmeng walk into the room boldly.

According to the intel her foppish best friend Mu Jingxing collected for her, the second young master of the ultra-wealthy Li Family, Li Junting, should be staying here tonight.

If she could get the Li Family on her side as investors, she would be able to solve Ruan Industries’ current predicament, and her stepmother would not be able to reign over her family matters.

Ruan Mengmeng went around the lounge and living area in the outer edge of the suite, heading straight for the bedroom. As expected, she could vaguely see the silhouette of a man on the bed.

Should she knock him out and then make him work with her?

Forget it. She threw caution to the wind and just went straight for brute force.

Ruan Mengmeng may not be the type to plan things through, but she was born with supernatural strength. She had no qualms about forcing a man into submission.

All her life, Ruan Mengmeng had lived under her sister’s protection. Although they lost their birth mother at a young age, and although their stepmother entered the family with aplomb, her sister had never let their stepmother and half-sister bully her.

At the same time, because her sister had protected her from everything, she grew to be a little cocky and a tad rash. She was the type who would not hesitate once she saw her chance to move.

She approached her target quickly and decisively.

To her surprise, however, she had barely taken a step forward when the man nimbly held her by the throat.

Back when Ruan Mengmeng broke open the door and destroyed the alarm, Li Junyu had already heard the commotion and opened his eyes.

He only remained motionless because he wanted to know what the intruder was up to.

Ruan Mengmeng was visibly stunned when Li Junyu grabbed her throat.

Even in this darkness, she could vaguely see that the man choking her had a pair of deep and cold eyes.

His dark eyes, as impenetrable as the night, looked like bottomless abysses.

Their eyes locked at such a close distance.

That glance alone nearly swallowed her whole.

Ruan Mengmeng’s heart pounded. In all her nineteen years, this was her first time feeling her heart act out like this.

It silently startled her. Her heart must be beating so quickly because she was caught red-handed in the act, she reasoned.

At the same time, Li Junyu was also looking at the girl he had captured with his excellent night vision.

The pretty lashes above her mesmerizing almond eyes were fluttering lightly.

When her starry eyes looked at him, they glittered with moisture. She had faint dimples above the corners of her tender lips. Her black hair was silk, and her skin snow.

His gaze moved down, and then the pupils in Li Junyu’s bottomless phoenix eyes abruptly dilated.

The man narrowed his thin eyes, danger flashing through them.

“You… drugged me?”

The man’s voice was a deep drawl that sounded like music to her ears.

“What…?” Ruan Mengmeng was completely dazed. She had no idea what he just said.

Before she could complete her question, she felt his grip tighten, and he pulled her down with him.

…

Early the next morning, Ruan Mengmeng practically ran out of there with her tail between her legs.

As soon as she left the hotel, she received a call from her best friend, Mu Jingxing.

“Mengmeng, you gotta go home now! Something bad’s happening at your place!”
