208 INDESCRIBABLE MESS (2/2)

When her mind cleared up, she found herself in the middle of an indescribable mess. There were broken and tipped over things everywhere. It was like a hurricane had passed through the house. Before she could think of her next step, there was a soft knock on the door.

Chen Li…

She remembered that he was supposed to bring her father's ashes. She weighed her options and decided to leave things as they were. She did not know people in the city, and she needed to have her apartment fixed.

She rushed to the bathroom and splashed cold water on her face to clean off the tears and give herself a clearer mind before going back to open the door. She did not attempt to hide the mess that the room had become as she took the urn in a box.

To Chen Li's credit, he did not show a change in expression as his eyes swept over the room. \”Would you like me to send a clean-up crew?\” He asked.

\”Thank you. That would be really help. I have been meaning to renovate the place. I just got ahead of myself.\” Hu Lei kept a straight face as she spoke the words.

Hearing the words, even the great assistant felt like he would lose his composure in spite of learning his skills from the master, his cold-faced boss. \”I will get right to it. Meanwhile, you can move to the penthouse.\” With that, he walked away quickly, afraid that his mask would break down.

Hu Lei thought of calling out to him and asking him not to tell Zhong Feng about the incident. But she did not. She simply closed the door and took out the urn from the white box. The urn looked simple, but she had seen enough valuables to know that it was of significant value. She looked at it for a while.

\”Oh Hu Ming, I have the mind to flush your ashes down the toilet right now.\” She threatened with an intense gaze in her eyes.

Though she was no longer blinded by anger and the darkness had receded, she still felt disappointment and hate towards her father. His letter had revealed a lot of things about her father. But what bothered her more are the things that he might have left unsaid.

In the end, she did not flush the ashes, but she placed them in a dark corner of her closet before she left the house with her laptop in a bag. It was fortunate that she had left it in her bedroom, or it might have also been a broken mess.

In another part of Supreme city, a woman looked at her sleek tablet and smiled. She replayed the footage from the small cameras she had had planted only a few hours earlier. Collecting some useful materials on the first day was truly unexpected.

It seemed that she had not wasted her money.
