'I need to share this with mom!' was the first thought that came into her mind.

”Ming Tian, thank you for sharing that with me!” Sylvia grabbed her purse and coat before running towards the exit. ”I'll see you tomorrow.”

Ming Tian looked at her a dumbfounded expression. ”But... wait, what about me?!”

Sylvia halted and turned to look at him with a frown. ”What do you mean? You're going to stay to finish the story for tomorrow, aren't you? Or you're going to go home? Either way, good luck. I have to go!”

Sylvia fled the scene, leaving behind a Ming Tian that honestly did not know how he should respond.While he was glad that Sylvia wasn't angry at him but Ming Tian did not appreciate the fact that he held such little importance in her heart that his betrayal didn't even warrant a consideration.

The young man slumped in his seat and sighed. He would need to work harder.

Xiu Ling was in her bedroom, winding down for the night. The plushy that Lin Kang won for her sat on the bedside table. She turned to look at it and her face lit up with an involuntarily smile. Yes, they did have plenty of fun that day.

Someone knocked on her door and Xiu Ling called for the person to come in. Lin Kang walked in with a file in his hands. ”Good evening, Lin Kang. Is something wrong?” Xiu Ling said.

Based on the stern expression on the man's face, Xiu Ling believed he was there to talk about something serious. She was proven right when the man sat down and said, ”Xiu Ling, do you still remember the blackmail incident that happened to Lee Mu and Zao Ming?”

Xiu Ling nodded wordlessly.

With a grim face, Lin Kang continued, ”Headway had been made on the envelope that the blackmail letter came in. We have found the culprit.”
