1036 Perplexed and Smitten 96 (1/2)
She picked up her mobile phone to take a look at the time and found that it was three past midnight.
Sleepy-eyed, she got out of bed and opened the door of the bedroom to see that the yellow lights were switched on in the corridor. She made her way down the stairs.
There was not a single soul in the living room. An Xiaoning poured herself a glass of water and took a few sips before walking toward the door. She asked Xiao Lu, who was on duty, \”Where did your Young Sir go?\”
\”Young Sir said that he was going out to attend to something which he did not specify. Chief has followed him too. They've been gone for almost an hour.\”
An Xiaoning turned around and headed upstairs. She sent Jin Qingyan a text message to ask him about what was going on, to which he never replied.
Fan Shixin did not answer her calls either.
An Xiaoning was somehow perturbed and ill at ease. Could the nightmare I had be an omen?
She grabbed a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of shorts from the dressing room, which she put on immediately before pulling her hair back into a bun, exposing her shiny and full forehead. She was no longer sleepy.
After freshening up, she began applying some makeup. He still had not replied to her yet.
An Xiaoning then began packing her bag.
Although the bag looked rather small, it could contain a significant amount of things.
She placed some necessary items into the bag and carried it downstairs.
\”Give me the address of your Young Sir's current location.\”
\”Young Madam, are you going to go look for them?\”
\”Of course.\”
\”Alright, I'll go find out Young Sir and Chief's current GPS location.\” Xiao Lu led her to the surveillance control room while she followed closely behind.
Once Xiao Lu and the other guards on duty pinpointed his exact location, they zoomed in and pointed at a red pin. \”Young Madam, Young Sir is currently in XX nightclub.\”
\”Got it.\” She grabbed her car keys and drove out of the estate within two minutes.
At this time, pedestrians were scarce and there were only very few cars on the roads.
She arrived smoothly at XX nightclub and remained inside the car while staring at the tightly-shut main door before shifting her gaze to the lights on the second floor.
She alighted from the car slowly and stepped forward to knock on the door.
After she'd been knocking for a long while, a woman finally answered the door. The woman was the owner of the nightclub and was rather surprised to see An Xiaoning. \”Hey, isn't this Ms. An?\”
\”Is Qingyan here?\”
\”He's upstairs.\”
She expressed assent and followed the lady boss inside.
An Xiaoning had never been to this nightclub before. It was rather quiet since it was already past the operating hours.
They boarded the elevator and arrived on the third floor.
After they exited the elevator, An Xiaoning followed her to the door of a large private room. The lady boss said, smiling, \”Mr. Jin is having a discussion inside. You may enter, Ms. An. I won't disturb you any further.\”
\”Alright.\” An Xiaoning watched the lady boss leave before opening the door gently.
Jin Qingyan was not inside the spacious and empty room.
As she turned around, she let out a shriek of terror, startled by the man who popped up all of a sudden.
\”Did you get a shock?\” said the man who had long hair that was braided at the top of his head. He was staring at her coldly, as if she was his prey.
How could An Xiaoning not have recognized him?
He was the man she had seen in the portrait in her dreams. He was none other than the Emperor, Xihou Jiaping.
Wrong, he probably had a different name in this lifetime.
However, she would never forget his facial features.
He indeed looked much more dashing in person compared to the simulated sketch. Also, he appeared a lot more ruthless and menacing than his previous incarnation.
Did my nightmare come true?
An Xiaoning's heart wrenched and scrunched up in terror. Jin Qingyan's GPS location led to this place, but where is he?
