My Beloved

"My hunch is that something fishy is going on in the basement. They might have stored the drugs there and provided the guests with those drugs in the parties."

Han Luo glanced at Mo Yuan worriedly.

"But we have no way to prove it, right?"

"We don't," he agreed. "That's the problem. If we could go to the party in disguise, that would be great."

"Hey guys, look what I found."

While going through the files on the boxes, Han Sheng Ming came across a document.

Tang Yujin was beside him. He took the file from him.

"It's the list of the employees who work under Uncle Han, little Luo's father," he declared. "It looks like information about the maids, the butler, and the cook is also here."

"What about the dead footman?" Mo Yuan inquired.

"Yes, here is it." Tang Yujin turned another page.

They checked the address. 

"Wuhan. It's a bit far." Han Luo rubbed her chin. 

"How about we split up?" Mo Yuan suggested. "I will go to Wuhan and talk to the family. You guys stay here with Ah Luo."

Han Luo grabbed his sleeve. "When do you plan on leaving?"

Mo Yuan replied, "Tomorrow morning. Sooner the better. I'll take the bullet train."

"I'll buy you a ticket." 

Han Luo quickly tapped her mobile.

"I've got a VIP seat for you. Your train is tomorrow at 8:30 am. I'm sending you the ticket."

Mo Yuan smiled. "Okay." 

He glanced at Tang Yujin and instructed him, "Keep an eye on the bank accounts. It would be great if you can get information about the upcoming party in the main house from a maid."

Tang Yujin's eyebrows slightly creased.

"I don't think I'm close enough to get…"

"What do you mean you can't?" Han Sheng Ming intervened. "Out of the three of us, only you can flirt with women without batting an eye. Did you forget how you made the maids fall for you?"

"Ahh… that…" Tang Yujin secretly glanced at Han Luo.

The latter was giving him an innocent look. 

"It's all right if big brother Yujin doesn't want to do it. It's not good to force. I'll manage the information somehow."

Observing her dejected expression, Tang Yujin sighed. He gave in.

"It's fine. I can do it. You don't need to worry about it."

As expected, Han Luo's face beamed. 

"I know big brother Yujin can do it. Thank goodness big brother Yuan cannot get along with other women."

"Why? Would you be jealous?" 

Mo Yuan affectionately pinched her face.

"Most definitely. You are mine. You are only allowed to look at me."

Han Luo responded immediately. 

Listening to their conversation, Tang Yujin felt a pang in his heart. He didn't know why he felt this kind of pain. It almost made him suffocate.

The next day, Mo Yuan left for Wuhan. Before leaving, he openly kissed Han Luo. He wasn't bothered that others were staring at them.

"!!!" Han Luo was embarrassed. 

'Was last night not enough for him? He didn't let me sleep till it was dawn and still doing this. Unbelievable!'

She wanted to scold him. But the kiss was so gentle that her heart softened for him. So, she decided to forgive him. 

"That's it! You are dead!"

Han Sheng Ming rolled his sleeves and was ready to jump over his friend. 

Han Luo hugged Mo Yuan and looked at her cousin.

"Big brother Ming, you are not allowed to lay a finger on my man."

"…" Han Sheng Ming felt something sharp piercing his chest.

My man. My man. My man... – the words kept repeating on the boys' heads.

At her response, Mo Yuan smiled and planted a soft kiss on her head. 

"I'll come back soon. Wait for me."

Han Luo squeezed his hand. "Okay, you promised."

Soon after he left, she got a phone call from Noah. 

"Things have turned into something worse. I'll send you an address. Please come there. Bring Xiao Yuan with you."

"I can't do that. He went to Wuhan to meet a family member of a dead employee."

Han Luo didn't tell him everything in order to keep their investigation secret.

"Oh, okay then. Bring Xiao Yujin with you. I have some exclusive news for you."

"Sure, we will be there." Afterward, Han Luo hung up and told the other two about her conversation with Noah.

"Why should I stay home and do nothing?" Han Sheng Ming complained. He was displeased. 

Tang Yujin patted his back. 

"You can stay in the basement and keep an eye on the house."

Later, Han Luo and Tang Yujin went to a restaurant. A room was booked for them. It seemed someone was already waiting for them there.

A grey-haired man, wearing a white shirt, a black suit and pants, and a blue tie, was sitting on a chair. 

"You are on time. Good. Sit down."

He was calm. His voice was serene. His eyes were controlling. 

He looked like a tough army officer, but Han Luo felt that his eyes were gentle when they looked at her.

She introduced herself first. "I'm Han Luo."

"I'm Tang Yujin. It's an honor to meet the Chief of the Chinese Secret Service." 

Tang Yujin bowed along with Han Luo.

After they sat down, lunch was served.

The Chief started, "I'm Li RuYang, the Chief of the Chinese Secret Service. I've heard many things about how talented you all are. Thank you for catching Qi Ting."

Han Luo intertwined her fingers. She looked straight at him.

"That's what we should do. We also think that the drug dealer is someone in my family. We want to catch the criminal with evidence. It's only possible to catch the criminal red-handed. However, we need assistance."

Chief Li RuYang quietly stared at her. For a split second, he thought that he was looking at someone else.

'They look so much alike. She would be proud to know how intelligent her daughter was.' He reminisced about the past.

"Before that, I have something to inform you. I'm sure Noah did not say anything."

Tang Yujin exchanged glances with Han Luo before turning toward him.

"He didn't.. He said that we would find out after coming here. Did something happen?"
