Chapter 1 (1/2)

Three days after Zhong Zhen Dong left the country, he received a phone call from the chauffeur. Subsequently, he found out that Tang Xin Lian was gone.

At that moment, he was at the headquarters in France, which was also one of his strongholds in Europe. As he was listening over the phone, the elegant smile on his handsome face suddenly turned cold.

“The person was doing fine, how did you lose sight of her?!”

He was currently in the middle of a conference with some talented people he hired, and the meeting was only halfway through when he received the long distance call.

After listening to the chauffeur finish his report, Zhong Zhen Dong stood up from his chair.

“What you’re saying is… she ran away?”

His complexion turned downcast. He raised his hand to signal the suspension of the meeting and held his cell phone as he walked away from the office.

Once the boss left, everyone immediately started to discuss what just happened.

“I wonder who ran away to make the boss so anxious.” Jack softly questioned. He was a Jewish person that was an expert at cracking codes, and was one of the regulars of Zhong Zhen Dong’s secret group.

“It was probably a client right?” said Anna. She was a British person who specialized in gathering information. She was also among the talented people Zhong Zhen Dong managed to snare.

“Do you think it’s a woman?”

“Don’t be absurd, it’s impossible. No woman would run away from boss’s side.”

“That isn’t necessarily true. While the boss was staying temporarily in Taiwan, it seems like he took a fancy to a woman.”

“Hey! Boss has a new lover? Then what about Lydia?”

“Obviously she lost favor. Boss has indulged her for a year, it should be about time he changed his preferences.”

“True, a year should be enough to break even. Boss gave her jewelry and a house. He also provided enough for her to eat, drink, and enjoy herself for a lifetime.”

A wealthy, powerful man supported a woman, while the beautiful woman profited from the rich man. This was like a law of the world.

The boss had many women, but none of them were fixed. There was only the favored, and how long they could remain that way.

The gossip between the boss and women, was only their topic for idle chat during their leisure time. They weren’t surprised the boss got a new lover; it would’ve only been strange if he didn’t.
