C164 (2/2)

He quickly received the recording from Gongzi Jiu. He did not listen to it. Instead, he took a deep breath and stood up.

Sunlight penetrated the clouds, sprinkling the golden light, and climbed through the French windows onto Chen Xi Wu's soft bed.

She was woken by the alarm, rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up, yawning as she got out of bed to wash.

Looking in the mirror, she saw the thick black circles around her eyes. She clenched her fists and cheered herself on, ”Chen Xi, you can do it!”

Her insomnia caused her to have no appetite for breakfast. She went out to the roadside to buy a newspaper. Seeing that there was nothing written in today's newspaper, she felt slightly relieved.

The bus lurched along, full and crowded.

Chen Xi Wu stood in the corner, tightly holding onto the handrail. The smell in the carriage wasn't good, so she felt a little dizzy.

All the way, she wondered if she had to buy a car, or squeeze herself into a sardines all day long.

Standing under the Xi Empire's office building, Chen Xi Wu thought about the newspaper from last night and took a deep breath before walking in.

She chose a corner in the elevator and stood, eyes lowered, waiting quietly.

Someone recognized her and started to gather and discuss in a low voice. She just quietly listened and didn't express any opinions, even if she was the person involved.

When the elevator stopped on the fifty-eighth floor, her cell phone rang. As she walked, she lowered her head and took it from her bag.

Before she took out her phone, she heard someone calling her name. ”Chen Xi Wu —”

She subconsciously raised her head. Before she could clearly see who it was, she heard the sound of something tearing through the air.

With a ”pa” sound, an egg hit her forehead.

The pain spread in an instant, and the broken egg white, mixed with the egg yolk, slid down together, blurring her vision.
