Chapter 877 - Old Places (1/2)

'A teacher for a day, a teacher for life!'

That's the principle that led Bo Jiu to follow Xiu without any problem. Since Xiu played the role of her mentor when she first entered the corporate world, she had decided to respect and follow Xiu. Even though she had studied abroad, she had never forgotten her values.

It was purely an accident for Xiu to find out about Bo Jiu's hacking skills. But she was really against this unethical practice. And even strongly reprimanded Bo Jiu.

However, when she really needed someone talented, she could only look for Bo Jiu. One; she knew Bo Jiu would blindly follow her and give her whole loyalty. Two; Xiu couldn't trust anyone else.

It was easier to trust someone whom she knew already. And Xiu had become really familiar with Bo Jiu since the first day they met. Xiu had to say that her vision was absolutely accurate. Because Bo Jiu really turned out to be exactly like Xiu had expected her to be.

Within two hours, Xiu landed in the Capital with Han Bohai and Bo Jiu following her. It was the second time she had come to this city after her rebirth. The first time, she felt painfully nostalgic but this time around, she felt excited for some reason.

This city or its people really couldn't hurt her any longer. Now, it was her turn to hurt them back like she was hurt back then.

”Jiu, you go to the hotel,” instructed Xiu.

”Huh?” Bo Jiu was taken aback by that. ”You won't come with me?”

Xiu shook her head at her, ”No, I have to go somewhere first.” Seeing Bo Jiu's conflicted look, she went on, ”Don't worry, I won't start the plan without you. For now, I have to go somewhere personal. Besides, it's still hours before the break of dawn. I'll be back to join you for breakfast. Go to the hotel and sleep for a few hours.”

Bo Jiu pursed her lips but still nodded her head, ”Okay. Take care of yourself. I'll wait for you.”

Xiu hummed in reply and watched her hailing a cab before she left. Then she turned to Han Bohai and said, ”Xiao Bobo, do I need to tell you where I want to go right now?”

Han Bohai pressed his lips and shook his head. He knew very well where she wanted to go right now. Although he didn't know why she wanted to go there, he'd still follow her anywhere.

He had already asked his assistant to bring a car which had been waiting for them at the side. ”Brother Han,” called out the little assistant, Wen Qing. ”Here are the keys.”

”Thanks, Wen Qing,” said Han Bohai with a genuine and sincere smile.

The little assistant smiled back at him and said, ”Let me know if you need anything else.” Her eyes did fall on Xiu's figure but like a good assistant, she didn't dare question Han Bohai. It wasn't her place and she knew it.

”I will,” replied Han Bohai. ”Get inside, I'll drop you home first.”

Wen Qing shook her head, ”Thank you but I already have a ride.” Saying that she ran off towards another car that had been waiting at the side for her.

”Your assistant is quite tactful,” remarked Xiu as she got inside the car and buckled her seatbelt. ”I wish I had one like her.”

Han Bohai glared at her, ”Sister Xiu, you won't ever find a better assistant than me!”

”Oh?” was the only response Xiu gave him as the corner of her lips tugged up.

Han Bohai grumbled something under his breath but she didn't pay any attention to him. Currently, she was focused on the scenery outside. Even though it was past midnight, the Capital city was still bustling with life as always. It was still as she remembered it. This city always looked alive but the people in this city were definitely not as alive or vibrant.

After half an hour, Han Bohai parked the car under a familiar residential building. Xiu didn't immediately alight from the car. Instead, she rolled down the windowpane and leaned her head against the side as she continued staring intently at the building before her eyes. It seemed like a long time ago since she last came here.
