Chapter 1449 - The IRS (1/2)

Her second brother?

Startled by the unexpected piece of information shared with her, Lu Ning did not know how to react.

Yin Zhihan quirked his eyebrows, smiling suavely, ”You're free to let your second brother know that I kissed you. It'll be interesting to see if he'll arrest me.”

...

Lu Ning and Xiao Qiu boarded the small boat prepared for them and returned to shore. When they arrived at their respective rooms in the hotel they were staying in, the sight of their beds was such a sweet relief that they collapsed in bed with scarcely a thought to the contrary.

Yet, despite how tired she was, Lu Ning could not sleep.

So great was her concern for Zhihan's wellbeing that sleep eluded her.

Lu Ning took out her phone and called her second brother, Lu Fan, but he had turned off his phone. It did not look like she was going to get ahold of her brother anytime soon.

Why would her second brother be in Macau?

Was he here on a mission?

If so, how did Yin Zhihan find out? Lu Fan was her own brother, and she could not claim to know where he was at all times. What more an outsider who bore no connection to him whatsoever?

Lu Ning felt the onset of a migraine. Why were all the men in her life keeping secrets from her? It was so frustrating.

The following day, Lu Ning was awoken by a series of loud beeps. Someone was calling her.

Pushing herself up from the awkward position she had been lying in, Lu Ning groped for her phone, which she found on the bedside table. She answered the call, still barely half-awake. ”Hello...?”

”Lu Ning, are you still sleeping? Get up already! Something big has happened!” Xiao Qiu's enthusiastic voice came from the other end.

Lu Ning rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, asking, ”What's the matter?”

”Last night, there was an intense battle on the President's yacht. I heard a big-time drug lord was arrested. One of the drug dealers involved in the cartel happens to be Ann's father. Even Ann was implicated in her father's arrest!”
