In the evening, Jiang Yuyan went to one of the luxurious hotels in the city where Xiao Min and San Zemin accompanied her.

Entering the hotel, one man in the black suite bowed to her and led their way to the top floor of the hotel, which had a luxurious presidential suite. It was as good as one luxury apartment. Outside of the suite's door, two men in black suits were standing as guards and bowed to Jiang Yuyang when they saw her.

They opened the door for her, that led their way into one study room, like an office with a stylish study table with chair and a rectangular leather couch.

"Have a seat, president Lu," the man in the black suit who led their way upstairs, instructed.

Jiang Yuyan sat while Xiao Min and San Zemin stood behind her. Just then, one more door opened inside the study room, which seems to be attached to another room in the suite, and one tall, handsome man wearing a white shirt and black pants, entered the study room.

Jiang Yuyan stood up to greet him as the man said while he raised his hand to shake it with hers, "Nice to see you, President Lu."

"Nice to see you too, Mr. Tang," Said Jiang Yuyan.

"Have a seat," the man instructed as he sat opposite to Jiang Yuyan.

There was a silence for a while which the man broke, "I wished to visit earlier, but it was not possible."

"It's alright. Even if you had been here, there wouldn't be a good time for the meeting," Jiang Yuyan countered.

The man nodded. "Hmm! I know there is no meaning of bringing the incident, but it was sudden and unfortunate. I talked to him just a day before the accident, and we both didn't know it would be like this."

"I know Mr. Tang was aware of what would happen and wished to help, but nothing can be done now. I am here for what we can do further."

"I will execute it as I need to pay him back for what he did to someone important to me so you can leave it to me. I just need to know the extent of the harm," the man called Mr. Tang asked.

"Exactly what he planned to do with Lu Qiang," Jiang Yuyan replied.

"You will get the news soon," assured the man.

"I would like to witness it too," Jiang Yuyan proposed.

Something bothered the man that he hid perfectly from the woman in front of him, who was sharp with seeing through the person.

"I don't intend to stop you, but it would be good President Lu won't have any travel history to the USA for a while, or it might link to the incident. Though no one talked clearly about all the incidents until now because of the fear and lack of proofs, everyone knows the underlying truth. Victor Magnus is not any ordinary businessman, so it would be bad to get more enemies by getting noticed."

"What about if Mr. Tang gets noticed?" Jiang Yuyan asked.

"They have already noticed me enough to stay away from me," the man replied, and it showed he was someone to be scared of though he looked calm from outside.

Jiang Yuyan didn't stress things much and asked, "How is Zi Ruo?"

"She is waiting to meet President Lu." Saying the man looked at the door, he just entered from and pressed one button on his chair's armrest.

A woman in the black suit entered the room from the outside, where two guards were standing. As she bowed, the man instructed, "Take president Lu to Ms. Zi Ruo."

Jiang Yuyan looked at him how he said Zi Ruo's name and could guess what was going on between them. Not saying anything, Jiang Yuyan followed the woman and entered the place, a small garden at the hotel's rooftop.

When Jiang Yuyan left, the man looked at San Zemin and Xiao Min.

"I hope she doesn't know who Victor Magnus is."

"She doesn't," San Zemin replied.

"Hmm! Make sure she won't know about it ever," the man instructed.

"Mr. Lu Feng had already instructed us the same," San Zemin informed.

Hearing Lu Feng's name, the man said, "Lu Feng! I will meet him before I leave."

When Jiang Yuyan entered the garden, she saw one woman having an age similar to Jiang Yuyan, wearing a white knee-length simple dress that made her look like an angel but the sad one. She was standing near the railing of the rooftop, where the cold breeze was blowing her hair.

Leaving Jiang Yuyan there, the woman in black suit bowed and left. Sensing the movement behind her, the woman in the white dress turned. Seeing Jiang Yuyan, she ran towards her and hugged her tightly.

"Yuyan," saying the name, tears rolled down from her eyes as she tightened her grip around Yuyan.

"Are you okay, Zi Ruo?" Jiang Yuyan asked, feeling concerned about her.

"This is not the time to ask about me when I am worried about you," Zi Ruo countered as she finally let her go of Jiang Yuyan and looked at her with teary eyes.

"I am fine," said Jiang Yuyan.

Though these two didn't know each other much and never talked, Lu Qiang was the link between them, and they didn't felt like to be with strangers.

"Lu Qiang..."

Mentioning his name made Zi Ruo even emotional, but Jiang Yuyan was as cold as she was before as if there were no tears left in her eyes to shed anymore.

"No need to cry over it now, Zi Ruo."

"I know, but I can't imagine him leaving us like that. How can….."

Jiang Yuyan interrupted her. "Hmm, your brother was a liar, and I am still mad at him for that, but unfortunately, I can't do anything about it," the dry words came from Jiang Yuyan but underneath there lay her wounded heart which missed him like crazy every single moment.

"I am sorry for being so late. I wanted to, but….."

"Even If you were here before, I was busy. I am here to see his sister if she is doing okay," Jiang Yuyan interrupted her, genuine care evident in her words.
