Chapter 17: Chapter 16
Xiulan stared at the phone in daze. She pondered over Lan Zhuo's words and felt that he was right. There was no use panicking as they didn't know who the proprietor was. Honestly this was the first time she had ever experienced something like this and she was scared. Very scared. She just could not calm down. She was panicking and her mind was in overdrive. She then took deep breaths and tried her best to calm down. She looked at the digital wall clock which showed 15:45 hours. She looked outside and saw the lush green landscape surrounding their apartment complex. She was scared to go out alone.
Xiulan then went to the bathroom and took a long hot bath which helped her calm down by a lot. She knew that she couldn't talk about this to anyone, neither her parents nor her 2 best friends. She let out a long sigh. She grabbed the files that were given to her by her boss the previous day and started studying it earnestly. She pushed the thoughts of the earlier incident to the back of her mind. She concentrated at the files in front of her.

By the time Lan Zhuo completed his work for the day, it was already 19:30 hours. He stood up from his seat and packed his laptop and a few files into his bag and left his office. Zhao Yufeng was waiting for him in the underground parking space. He opened the passenger seat. Lan Zhui nodded gratefully and got in. Zhao Yufeng got into the driver's seat and they took off. Lan Zhuo massaged his temples and gave out a sigh. He closed his eyes to take a short nap before they reached pearl river heights. He opened his eyes and frowned when he felt the car come to a stop. He noticed that they were in front of Empire again. He glanced at Yufeng and raised a brow in question.
Yufeng rolled his eyes at his friend's denseness and said " Dinner plus Xiulan is bound to be shaken by the events that transpired earlier this morning. She has no one to talk to plus this maybe the first time she faced a situation like this. Her parents are just rich, they don't mingle a lot with the so called upper class people so she would not have as well right? She is bound to be flustered. Give her some company and eat dinner with her. I can't believe you're so dense some times. You handle everything so well but why can't you think of small things like this?"
When Yufeng felt the temperature of the car drop by a few degrees, he immediately said "I didn't say anything. Let's just get takeout for dinner, go home and sleep alright?" and waved the white flag. Lan Zhuo whipped his phone from his jacket pocket and made a call. He said in a low voice which sounded almost threatening " Deliver the dishes I mentioned to the 7th floor of pearl river heights. Oh the serving should be enough for three people." He cut the call and continued to close his eyes as if the disturbance never happened. When he felt the car still being stationary, he looked at Zhao Yufeng who was literally staring at him with his eyes wide and his mouth open, he said "Do you want me to deduct the bonus for this month of your exorbitant fee of being g my chauffeur?" Zhao Yufeng immediately started to drive towards the apartment complex while cursing his luck. Why did he not think of asking him to call earlier instead of coming all the way to the restaurant. He wondered why his IQ dropped sometimes. He glanced at Lan Zhuo who still had his eyes closed and thought that he had been influenced by his friend's denseness. In fact he convinced himself of this all the way towards the apartment complex.
The duo reached the apartment complex at about 20:25 hours. They immediately headed to their own units to freshen up after deciding to meet at the 7th floor.
Xiulan was in her study heard the door bell ring. She stretched her back and looked at the clock and gasped when she noticed that she had been at reading for more than 3 hours straight. She walked over to the living room intending to open the door when the incidents from the morning hit her. She started panicking. She forgot about the security cameras that were installed whose display was attached to the flat screen in the living room. She looked around the living room to find something to use for self defence. She then ran to the kitchen and came back to face the person(s) behind the door with a laddle clutched tightly in her hand. She opened the door with sweaty palms and immediately swung the laddle with full force while closing her eyes.
