“Li Jing, oh my God. What happened to you? Why was your phone switched off? You had me worried.”

Before Li Jing could eve utter one word, Yin Lifen had uttered so many. 

Li Jing could not be mad at her friend considering she was being like this because of her. 

It took her a full day to return her calls and knowing Yin Lifen very well, she would have called her so much in this past day. 

Li Jing closed het eyes and pet out a soft sigh before responding to her overly worried friend. 

“Hello Lifen.”

“Don’t you dare hello me, Li Jing. How could you do this to me?”

“I am sorry, you would have to be more specific than that, Fen Fen.”

“Don’t play dumb with me young lady. Where are you? Where have you been? Why has your phone been switched off?”

And there she went, raining series of questions on her friend once more. 

“I am at home.”

“Where is your home? I am coming to leet you right away, young lady.” Holding her phone with one hand, Yin Lifen moved to where her key was on the table and was about leaving her room when Li Jing quickly stopped her. 

“No, no, no… It is already late, do not worry. Tomorrow I would text you my address okay, momma?”

“Are you sure?”

“Very sure.”

“Okay then, if you say so. Take care of yourself Li Jing.”

“I will. Goodnight.”

Beep! 

‘Thank goodness she agreed not to come over. I better go ask Ye Cheng for permission first.’

With her thought settled, she made her way to the living room and met Ye Cheng just closing the door as he bade someone farewell. 

Right before her eyes, she saw all the clothes, shoes, bags that Ye Cheng sent to her this afternoon. 

Her eyes trailed the bags and came to land on the centre table. She saw food flasks on the table and at once knew that it was the meal she made. 

“You’re done?” Ye Cheng asked as soon as his eyes locked on her. 

“Hmm.”

“Good. The meal and your things have been brought. Come let us eat while the meal is still hot.”

“Okay.”

After dinner, Li Jing got the chance to ask Ye Cheng about Yin Lifen coming over. Surprisingly he agreed and left her to retire to the living room with his laptop. 

Part of the things he also bought for her was a new apple laptop as compensation for the damage he knew hers would have experienced due to the raid. 

Like a good girl, Li Jing retired for bed first leaving him alone. She didn’t bother about his injury this time as she felt he may have treated it better. True to that, he did just that. 

As soon as he was sure she was fast asleep, he picked his phone up and failed a certain number. 

“Han Qing Qing,” his deep voice broke out in the silent environment. 

“Sir. Good evening sir.”

“How far have you gone?” Ye Cheng asked as he typed away on his system. 

“Since I could not get through to you, I did three quarter of the work and decided to wait for your call or mail,” Han Qing Qing explained. 

“Good. I had an emergency, my apologies for putting you through so much work.”

“No worries sir.”

“What were your findings?”

“I am sending them to your mail now, sir.”

“Okay.”

“There has been series of theft in the company. Two hundred thousand dollars has been taken every month for the past two years sir under an alias account. 

“Two hundred for two years?” Ye Cheng could not believe the silent theft that had been going on in his company for so long. 

He quickly composed himself and clicked on the new mail Han Qing Qing sent. 

“Yes sir. It has been sent to Zhao Zhen sir.”

“Who handles the financial records?”

“Shao Fen sir.”

“Okay. I would go through the remaining quarter tonight, all you have to do is check the dealings of the project Hao Huizhong is handling.”

“I will sir.”

“That would be all. Thank you.”

“Anytime sir.”

Beep! 

‘Zhao Zhen… I would find out who you truly are.’

*****

By the next day, Ye Cheng left the condo unit and warned Li Jing not to go out but remain in doors for her own safety. 

An hour later, the noisy, worry wart Yin Lifen came to visit her. 

“Wow Li Jing, this place is nice and expensive.”

“Yeah, I guess so.”

“You guess!” Yin Lifen placed her hands on her waist and titled her head forward as she stared at her friend with wife eyes. 

“You do not know?”

“Know what?”

“This area is owned by the rich of the rich… The wealthiest men in the city. Only the well to do rich folks can have a house here or even stay in the condo units. You can just tell by all the expensive furniture’s and decorations.”

“Oh!”

Since Yin Lifen was from a wealthy home, she knew all about the rich folks and their behaviour, unlike her friend who even though belong to family owning a business and were well to do, still didn’t live the life and know much about all these. 

“How did you get to stay her? Which big shot did you catch his fancy, Li Jing?” Yin Lifen gave her the all knowing smile as arched her brows up at het friend. 

“Well no one.”

“There you go again. Lying to my face. Until when would you learn that I know you more than you know yourself?”

“I won’t learn. What do you care for? Juice or coffee?”

Li Jing made her way to the kitchen to get a mug cups for the both of them. 

“Why ask when you know already?”

“Well who knows, you might need it to calm down for what I am going to tell you.”

Yin Lifen narrowed her eyes at her friend and gave her that… What are you getting at, look. 

“Try me. Let’s have coffee and juice.”

“Okay.”

“By the way, where is he? Did you get to know his name?”

“Yes.”

“What is his name?”
