This wasn’t Qiao Lian’s first visit to Lu Nanze’s office.

The room was deafeningly silent. The secretary respectfully sat outside the office, not daring to enter without good reason.

Qiao Lian looked around the room and found Lu Nanze’s document in one of the drawers.

She peered at the secretary by the doorway. At this point, she saw the junior secretary getting onto her feet and walking away, as though something had come up.

She found herself alone, with no one watching her.

It was divine intervention!

This would be the time.

She quickly opened the second drawer and searched. Nothing. Then, looking at the third drawer, she opened it and searched. No luck either.

There were important documents in the drawers that were unrelated to what she was after.

She straightened up and looked around. Suddenly, her gaze fell on a picture.

She discreetly moved to the door and shut it. Turning, she looked around to ensure there were no surveillance cameras in the office. Then she walked to the picture, reached out and swung it to the side. At once, she saw a safe.

Indeed.

Lu Nanze had no imagination. This was too easy to find.

Except, what was the passcode to open the safe?

Staring at it, she thought for a while and entered Lu Nanze’s birth date.

Unfortunately, an error message came up.

She was left with three more attempts.

Biting her lip, she entered his mother’s birth date. Wrong again.

Qiao Lian frowned and followed with entering his father’s birth date, but that also didn’t work.

She was down to her final attempt.

Qiao Lian knew that if she got this wrong again, then there was every possibility that the safe would trigger a police alert.

Right now, she was on a street with a dead end.

If she continued, she could lose the gamble. But if she didn’t try, she may never get another chance to be in his office alone.

She took a deep breath at this thought.

Narrowing her eyes, she extended her finger towards the keypad and entered her own birth date. Finally!

Click.

The safe was unlocked.

Shocked by the situation herself, Qiao Lian stared at the safe in disbelief.

The passcode for the safe… was her birth date?

She hesitated as she looked down at her hand.

Lu Nanze’s passcode was actually her birth date.

The surprise from the discovery left her stunned for a while.

She couldn’t tell how much time had elapsed before she suddenly heard a commotion outside the office.

At once, she heard the secretary’s voice saying, “Ms. Qiao, you can’t go in there.”

Qiao Yiyi’s tone was unrelenting as she argued, “Why? She can go in there! So why can’t I? Do you know who I am? I’m pregnant with Second Brother’s child. Get out of the way. If you dare to stop me, then you’ll have to lay your hands on my stomach first.”

Qiao Lian snapped out of her dazed state when she heard this. Immediately, she started to rummage through the safe.

No luck.

Still no luck…

Don’t panic, it must be buried deeper.

Deeper. Qiao Lian suddenly thought of something. She looked inside and saw a little box.

Her eyes lit up as she reached in for it. At the same time, Qiao Yiyi’s voice rang out, “Get out of the way, let me in!”

Then the door flew open.
