Qin Youxuan waited a good while at the back door until Ning Yanan announced she had arrived. Only then did she slip out the back door and got into the car before anyone could react.

“Drive!”

“Yes, ma’am!” heeding Qin’s command, Ning Yanan stepped hard on the gas without skipping a beat.

Before the lurking reporters had a chance to swarm them, she did a quick U-turn and broke away from the siege.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry! Qin Youxuan just left, go after that car!”

The group of reporters who had been staking out the area barely had time to react when Ning Yanan’s car disappeared out of sight.

All they could do was stand there silently, gritting their teeth in frustration. A few persistent newspapers went off in pursuit.

“This is exhilarating! It makes me feel like I’m shooting a blockbuster film. Missy, this time, I’ve acted the part of your guardian angel, how’re you gonna thank me?”

Once they shook off the tailing reporters, Ning Yanan raised her eyebrows triumphantly.

Joking aside, she herself was a reporter. Interviewing, tracking, ambushing…

were all within her wheelhouse. And she was excellent at all of them.

“Whew-”

Qin Youxuan let out a long sigh. “This is all your fault for choosing such a location, and now look how big of a mess I’m in. Yet you still have the mood to tease me?”

“Whoosh—

Ning Yanan abruptly stepped on the brakes and the car swiftly halt at the roadside, before turning her head towards Qin.

She put on a pitiful expression, with both hands pressed together.

“Xuan, I was wrong. I genuinely just wanted to find a nice place to talk with you. I had no idea things would turn out like this. I deserve what’s coming, go ahead, scold or hit me, I swear I won’t fight back!”

“Enough, I trusted you enough to let you come pick me up, now get me to Zhi Shang. I want to know how exactly those photos got leaked.” Qin Youxuan’s brows furrowed in anger, her hands clenched into fists.

“Zhi Shang, didn’t they say the lobby’s surveillance camera was broken that

“That’s Chen Chuang’s doing. Right now, he can’t risk getting dragged into this mess by me. No matter what, he wouldn’t dare to trip me up. Let’s go!”

“OK!” Seeing that she was alright, Ning Yanan breathed a sigh of relief, restarted the car, and hit the road again.

The Dan Group office building.

“Knock, knock —

Yao, holding a folder, respectfully knocked on the door of the CEO’s office.

“Come in.”

A deep male voice came from inside the office.

Yao hesitated a moment before opening the door and walking in.

“What is this about?” Dan Hanjie didn’t even bother to lift his head, casually swept all the newspapers and magazines off the office table onto the floor, right beside Yao’s feet.

Upon glancing down, he saw the clearly printed image of a woman on them.

It was Qin Youxuan.

The blunt headline [Is She a Missy or a Mistress] was all the more biting.

“Is this how I asked you to handle things?” Hanjie’s gaze moved away from his computer, his cold eyes piercing through the man standing in front of him.

He stood up from behind his desk, his tailored suit accentuating his tall and upright figure and noble, domineering demeanor, radiating an aura of an intimidating authority.

Yao hung his head, “I’ve only just found out about it. Mr. Jie, this matter, I’m afraid it’s not that simple…”

Seeing the man raising an eyebrow, Yao quickly put the prepared materials on the table.

He bent down, “This is the surveillance tape I just got from Zhi Shang.

Comparing it with the situation that night and the angle of the camera, it is simply impossible to get a suggestive photo like the one on the magazine cover. The only possibility is that someone hired a private detective to tail Miss

Qin and snuck into Zhi Shang..”
