Chapter 93 - A Night That Brought Them Closer (1) (1/2)
Xinyi thought for a while.
Indeed, it was troublesome to work with him. But she thought if she worked with him, she could get some clue if Xiaosi was planning harm for Zhiyuan or her family. Maybe she could even realize his true intentions and revenge.
It was better to work in his company rather than avoiding him.
Xinyi softly said, ”It's alright Shuang. I understand that the last days were stressful. Your game was also almost hacked right?” She eyed Xiaosi as she said this.
Shuang gritted her teeth. ”Yes!”
She dangerously glared at Xiaosi. ”If I get even one evidence against that hacker, I will beat the shit out of him.”
Xiaosi chuckled. ”Good luck with that.”
Xinyi said, ”If security is your forte, then can you not expose the hacker?”
Xiaosi raised his brow. ”I will take a hefty fee for that. Our friend here was hardly able to pocket out money for hiring me to protect her games. So, right now, the deal is only limited to game protection, not identity reveal.”
”You call her your friend and then take money from her?”
”I am sure Zhiyuan also doesn't believe in mixing personal and professional stuff,” he mockingly smiled.
Xinyi couldn't retort.
Shuang rolled her eyes. ”Forget it. Let's get down to business.”
The meeting went for almost two hours.
Xinyi nodded. ”I understood. I will draft the initial character designs and show you. Let me know if you like them.”
Shuang said, ”Yup. Send over when you are done.”
She narrowed her eyes at Xiaosi. ”You understood your job? I am not gonna spell it again for you.”
”Tsk. Tsk. The difference in treatment is so obvious,” Xiaosi shrugged.
As his phone buzzed, he glanced over the message he received. A glint flashed past his eyes as he looked at Xinyi and his lips curved into a faint smile.
”I have an important call to make. You beauties continue.”
”You will make me puke. Get lost.”
As Xiaosi stepped out of her office, his expression turned cold. ”What did you find?”
”Sir, I have found something about Mrs. Han that she might be hiding from her husband and her family.”
As he heard Xinyi's secret, Xiaosi narrowed his eyes. He tilted his head in amusement. ”I see. That is shocking considering…”
He hung up and twirled the phone in his hands playfully.
Now let's begin the true game.

Back in the office, Xinyi observed Shuang and frowned.
”Shuang. Are you alright? You seem down for some reason…”
Shuang paused and looked back at her.
Last night, Yunru hadn't returned from his walk. That meant he already left to stay at his own place where he lived with Soo Enlai. He hadn't responded to any of her messages either.
”Nothing...Just was up playing games all night.”
Xinyi furrowed her brows.
It doesn't seem like that though. It feels like something is weighing on her mind.
Just then her phone rang.
”Ah, Yunru!” Xinyi smiled.
Shuang stiffened.
”...En. Okay. I will talk to Zhiyuan about it.”
It seemed he asked her something to which Xinyi replied, ”Oh I am at Shuang's office! You remember Shuang right? Hehe, I will be working with her from now on.”
Shuang didn't show any change in her expression. Since they hadn't told anyone of their relationship yet, it wasn't surprising that Xinyi would ask that.
”Do you want to talk to her? She is right in front of me.”
Shuang froze and fiddled with her fingers.
Maybe this is a good chance…
Xinyi said, ”Ah you are busy with a case right now…”
Shuang slightly trembled. She bit her lip and lowered her gaze.
”Okay then. But make sure to talk to her as soon as you get free. It's been a long time.”
Xinyi hung up and said, ”That was Yunru. You remember my brother, right? We used to meet up sometimes. Haha, he always liked to bother you a lot, isn't it? You always fought like cats and dogs.”
She awkwardly smiled. ”Of course. How can I forget him?”
