Chapter 0: Uncontrollable Power (1/2)

Xu Cheng looked at the broken pieces of glass on the floor, then at his palm, and the glass shards stuck to his skin. After shaking them off, he slowly squatted down and picked up the glass shards and took a closer look.

There didn’t seem like there was a problem; the craftsmanship and quality were both fine.

But why was it that it crumbled like a piece of tofu when he grabbed it?

Also, that doorknob from earlier…

Xu Cheng took a look, it was stainless steel aluminum alloy, so theoretically speaking, it shouldn’t have broken that easily too.

He walked from the exercise room into the living room in deep thought and noticed that Ran Jing and Shen Yao had already come back.

Ran Jing was all fine, looking at documents and humming a joyful melody. However, Shen Yao looked like she had survived a heart attack as she laid on the sofa diagonally, her eyes looking forward without focus.

Xu Cheng thought something was wrong, but he didn’t bother to ask right away. Instead, he first walked to Ran Jing’s office desk quietly. He placed his hand on the table and asked, “What happened to her?”

“According to my experience in criminal investigation, she probably got hit hard by something mentally,” Ran Jing replied.

Xu Cheng nodded, thinking that he should still try to cheer Shen Yao up a little.

So, he left Ran Jing’s office desk and walked towards the sofa.

But just as he withdrew his hand from the desk, Ran Jing was deeply shocked because she noticed that after Xu Cheng’s palm left, that solid hardwood desk of hers had a new deep palm print!

Ran Jing’s mouth was wide open as she looked at Xu Cheng’s back, completely dumbfounded by this guy’s background.

“I heard that when a woman’s dispirited, she will become happy again after eating. This is especially true for beautiful girls,” Xu Cheng lightly said to Shen Yao.

Shen Yao initially ignored Xu Cheng and was still dwelling in her own emotions. After a while, she turned around and asked Xu Cheng, “What did you just say?”

“I said, if you are feeling down, you can go eat something to cheer yourself up,” Xu Cheng repeated.

“Not that one.” Shen Yao shook her head.

Xu Cheng frowned. “What other one?’

Shen Yao, “What did you call me?”

Xu Cheng slowly said, “Beautiful girl?”

Shen Yao, “Do I count as a beautiful girl?”

Xu Cheng nodded./ “Of course!”

Shen Yao, “Then what about in comparison to Chuxue?”

Xu Cheng hesitated for a bit and replied, “You shine in a different way. You two are different types.”

Shen Yao immediately said as if she was about to cry, “Then why the hell is it that when I took off my mask, those hardcore fans that were chasing me seconds ago like I was a million dollars immediately turned around and disappeared? Please, even though I’m not Lin Chuxue, I’m still good looking okay? They just ran after glancing at me, isn’t that too rude?!”
