Javier Zhong simply looked at her with a deep meaning in his eyes.Just by him remaining silent, Stephanie Ruan could easily guess that what she had said was right.He did not respond directly to her question. Instead, he confessed, "I told Isaac to investigate your background previously and I was surprised to hear that you were the girl from the Ruan Family."After a slight pause, he recalled, "Back then, when we came down from our car to check on the accident, I found a slightly damaged phone just a few steps away.""Before I could try to unlock it, a phone call from an unknown number came in."...["How is it?"] The caller obviously used a voice-changing application as the male voice is distorted.["What do you think?"] Javier Zhong responded to the mysterious caller, in hopes of fishing out some information from him.["You dare to play with me??!! Update me on the Ruan Family right now!!"] The man screamed into his ears over the phone.["I've confirmed it, the Ruan family members

Come on... How is she going to face all these people now...Stephanie Ruan is someone who respects other people's time and she definitely does not want to be seen as an entitled person who thinks that the whole world only revolves around her.This is totally not right!!...Absolutely embarrassing for her!!On the other hand, Javier Zhong found her frustration to be very amusing!With a chuckle, he grabbed hold of the small hand that is 'attacking' him and then directly planted a kiss on her forehead.Startled by the unexpected kiss, Stephanie Ruan immediately placed her fingers on the part of her head that his lips had touched."??!..."Seeing that she is still in a daze, Javier Zhong did not want to give her time to process what had just happened.He knew that she would definitely make some 'noise' about it!As such, he reacted quickly by helping Stephanie Ruan carry her handbag in one hand while holding onto her hand with the other."Let's go." Pretending that nothing had happened,

Upon hearing that, Stephanie Ruan's expression immediately darkened. "Javier, you agreed to give me some time!""I did! Is 10 hours not enough? That is already quite some time..."Stephanie Ruan could not believe her ears and is completely speechless!Wait... what did he just say?!... 10 hours??!!Other people count by the days and weeks, but this man actually dared to count by the hours and act so righteously??..."Forget it... Take this back!" Stephanie Ruan pushed the bouquet back into his arms angrily. She does not want to take anything from him!This action of hers made Javier Zhong enter into panic mode. He forced the flowers back into her arms and anxiously held on to her hands, "Stephanie, don't do this... I'm sorry, I was just joking. I will give you time."Seeing that she has calmed down a little, he slowly added with a pleading look, "But don't make me wait for too long okay? I'm really getting impatient...""..."In the centre of the large bouquet laid an exquisite royal b

Since everyone is very focused on this operation and their eyes are only locked on 'X's cabin house, no one noticed Stephanie Ruan sliding into the forest to tail Javier Zhong. As the pathway inside the forested area is very narrow and difficult to see - especially more so at the night, Stephanie Ruan is unable to manoeuvre comfortably. Each and every single step that she takes would require her fullest attention. She has to remain very vigilant of her surroundings because if she doesn't... "Hiss..." A tree branch that is protruding out into the pathway has scratched her lower arm. Without hesitating, she moved her phone's torchlight over her arm to check on the wound. "Thankfully it's not a deep cut..." She breathed a sigh of relief and quickly looked ahead again, only to find that Javier Zhong's figure is already out of her sight! "No way...!!!" Stephanie Ruan took a few steps forward and looked around anxiously for him but to no avail. It has already been about ten minutes of

With a light nod, the surgeon spoke to them politely, "The surgery is successful and Chairman Zhong is okay. There are no complications. He should be awake soon."Phew!!...Both Stephanie Ruan and Isaac Wen instantly breathed a huge sigh of relief!"Thank you, doctor!" She bowed slightly and spoke to him with great appreciation.While the three of them are busy exchanging a few more words, they did not realise that a mysterious man has actually been observing them from afar ever since Javier Zhong entered the operation theatre.The man stood there and gave them a final look before moving away into the shadows....In the private hospital suiteStephanie Ruan sat on the bedside of Javier Zhong and looked at him worriedly, wondering when he would be awake.She held on to his hands and waited...And waited...Suddenly, they heard three steady knocks on the door, and then the room was silent again."I will go and get the door." Isaac Wen immediately stood up and did not forget to report t
