Driving around Imperial for a good 30 minutes, Yue Ling pull over to the side and park her car. Stepping out, she look at the building in front of her.
It was an old rundown building that looked abandoned. All the people that pass by this building don't even bother to pay any attention to it, nor do they feel anything good from it.
Like a haunted building in a horror film, this building definitely plays the part. However, unlike everyone else, a smile curl on Yue Ling's lips as she stare at the building, as if it was a masterpiece.
Without any hesitation or fear, she calmly enters the building. Her movement made it seem like she was out shopping on a warm sunny day.
Bystanders stare at her with shock and strange expressions. She didn't look like a poor person, but why was she going inside such a scary place.
"Did you see that girl? She just went inside that scary looking building."
"I saw her face, she looks like a wealthy daughter, but..."
"Who knows, young women these days take in roles of mistresses. Maybe this building is her meet up place."
"Shhh. Don't say things that will harm you. Walls have ears, anyone can be listening. You don't want to end up on some big shot's black list."
"Come on, let's go. Just looking at this place scares me."
Ignoring what they just saw, the people passing by decide to ignore Yue Ling going inside the scary building. Who are they to question someone's business.
Through the long dark hallway, Yue Ling who was oblivious as always was leisurely taking her sweet time walking inside. The hallway looked scary with dusts and spider webs, but she wasn't in the least bother by it.
Reaching the end of the long hallway, she made a turn and sees two security guards standing in front of a closed metal door.
The taller and masculine security guard looks at Yue Ling, "Can I help you, Miss?"
Yue Ling sized the guard. His aura may be dangerous and arrogant, but he's on the job, so it normal for someone to act that way.
With a polite smile, she said, "I'd like to enter and take a look around."
Masculine guard also size Yue Ling. He's seen many beautiful women come and go here, but he's never seen one as breath taking as Yue Ling.
But he's on the job, so he can't flirt around. Keeping his dangerous and arrogant aura, he narrow his eyes, "Do you have a pass?"
A pass? Yue Ling purse her lips, then she shook her head, "I do not."
Masculine guard: "Then you cannot enter."
Yue Ling: "....."
Sighing, she pinch the space between her brows. Why is it that people were always giving her a hard time? First, it was when she arrived at Jade Condos, then at Essence and now here?
The other security who was skinner finally looks at Yue Ling. At first he thought her voice was very soothing to the ears, however seeing the person, he blush like a innocent boy.
Her voice matches her looks, and she held the aura of someone who draws people closer to her.
Squinting his eyes, he was mesmerized by Yue Ling's bluish green eyes, but he feels like he's seen her somewhere before... he just can't remember where...
"Miss, I suggest you leave. Only guest with passes can enter, since you don't have one, don't blame me if I toss you out."
Hearing this, Yue Ling arch a brow in amusement, "Really?"
Masculine guard held his stance, "Yes."
However, deep down he was nervous. This beautiful woman didn't look like your normal wealthy family's daughter. The aura she carried with her was benevolent, but he could also feel the aura of someone very dangerous.
He's been in the underworld for a long time and he knew this aura all too well.
"Miss—"
Yue Ling shrug her shoulder nonchalantly, "No need. I get it."
Turning around, she takes three steps away from the two security guards. Reaching for her phone in her black Hermès Birkin bag.
She dial a number and after two ring, someone answered from the other line.
["Hello?"]
"I'm here."
["Here? Where?"]
"I'm outside your shop, but I don't have a pass."
["No, no, no, don't worry. Stay where you are, I'll come get you."
Ending the call, Yue Ling step to the side and leans against the wall.
Both the guards were confused. They had heard her conversation, but they didn't know who she was on the phone with.
Neither of them have ever met a rich woman who would wait patiently like Yue Ling. Most of the time, they'd either throw a huge tantrum or leave and never come back.
Yet, here she is, just waiting, as if she was waiting at a bus stop for the bus to arrive.
After fifteen minutes, Yue Ling glance at the time on her phone and sighed. The masculine guard was running out of patience, although he didn't find Yue Ling a threat, as a security guard, it is his job to secure the premises.
"Miss, I think you should—"
*creeeeak*
Both the guards turn around to look at the source of sound. It was the tightly shut metal doors behind both the security guards. A middle age man walks out, bringing with him the aura of a noble and well respectful man.
The masculine guard was speechless, but he utter, "Master Zhi..."
