The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

"Now I've seen it all." Ruby could not believe that someone could be so vicious. "What should we do now? If they are not going to meet up, how will we be able to know who the other person is?"

She thought about it and added, "What if we use the hard approach?"

"Hard approach?" He asked as she tapped his phone screen to dial a number.

She nodded. "We have tried to slowly expose her but this might not necessarily give us the desired results at the right time. Why don't we force her to spill the beans?"

He had thought of this too. However, "This method might not work either. It's highly likely that she has long vowed to take the truth to her grave. Even if she hasn't, she might not necessarily know anything helpful."

She frowned but she couldn't refute this possibility. To protect himself, that insane boss of Galaxis might have ensured that no one got to see or meet him. She had learnt from Lanni that everyone at the agency had only spoken to him through a blank screen. Only his son knew his identity, but they would be dreaming if they expected him to help them go against his father.

"Don't worry." Xiehan rubbed her head and made the call.

"Did you get anything?" He asked when Luna answered the call.

They had decided to split their tasks so he hacked Ji Feifei's phone and sent her the codes so she would try to hack the other side.

"Still trying. I'll let you know if I get anything." On the other end, Luna rubbed the back of her neck in distress. It was already hard enough to hack that person's phone, but it was even harder to do so without a trace.

When Xingyu saw her rub her neck, he frowned and brought her a glass of milk. "Drink it and have some rest. You can go on in the morning."

"I'm almost done." Luna took a sip of the milk and resumed what she was doing, her long, slender fingers flying across the keyboard at a speed that Xingyu would have found impossible if he hadn't seen it before.

"It's here!" Luna suddenly exclaimed and tapped the enter key to reveal the information she had found.

However, in the next second, her screen turned black and lit up again to reveal the face of a man.

"You freaking…!" Luna balled her fists to stop herself from uttering vulgarities. Didn't this man know how to choose the right time to hack into her laptop?!

"Why are you so riled up? Are you mad because I interrupted your fun?" Flynn laughed at her enraged countenance. "How rude. Are you investigating my father? I know you are."

Luna so badly wanted to strangle him. "So what if I am? Get lost! I want to resume my work."

"Tsk, are you addicted to making yourself go through unnecessary trouble?" He snickered.

Luna couldn't stand his provocation, and Xiehan wished he could stab the man through the screen for troubling his fiancée. "How is it your business?"

"Of course it's my business. I gave you the answer. I can't believe you're still seeking it. Isn't this a slap to my face?"

"What do you mean?" She was stumped.

"Are you an idiot? The answer is with Lanni." The screen went blank and the man's face disappeared.

Luna stared at it in shock. What in the world?

Next day.

As soon as work was over, Luna rushed over to Lanni's apartment and explained Flynn's bizarre reaction.

"He said the answer is with you."

"Me?" Lanni was flabbergasted. What was Flynn playing at this time?

She was about to voice this out when she suddenly recalled something. "The USB flash drive."

"The what?"

Lanni was yet to respond when her phone rang. She frowned slightly when she saw the caller's identity. It was long past working hours, so why was CEO Qian calling her?

Luna's phone rang too, so Lanni stepped aside to answer her call. "Hello, CEO Qian?"

"I'm sorry Lanni, you don't have to come back to work tomorrow."

"What do you mean?" Lanni was confused.

"You are fired." The man went straight to the point.

"What? Why would I be… Hello?"

The call had been hung up. She glanced at her phone in disbelief as if trying to confirm that she had really been speaking to CEO Qian. Why did he suddenly fire her, and why did he say he was sorry?

She sucked in a breath and went back to the living room, trying to hide her shock so she wouldn't startle Luna.

However, she came back to a pale-faced Luna who looked to be distressed.

"Sis, what happened?" She had a bad feeling about this.

Luna had a bad feeling about her sister's phone call too, so she spilled the beans. "Didn't I tell you that I met a genius whose game just happened to be similar to Demons Vs Gods? He suddenly said to the media that I stole his game from him. He said that we met to negotiate but I claimed to be unsatisfied with the game, only to turn around and produce it on my own. He even gave evidence of our meeting and discussion."

"No way! Not you too!" Lanni's heart picked up its pace.

"Sis, what's going on?" Luna found her reaction odd.

She explained what had suddenly happened with Her CEO. "This is strange. It's not a coincidence."

They exchanged glances and seemed to understand each other's insecurities. Was this related to the man they were investigating? Was he attacking them?

Lanni took her phone and dialled Xiehan's contact number with trembling fingers. "Xiehan, is everything alright on your side?"

"From your call, you must have guessed that something is wrong?" The man sounded exhausted.

"Uh huh." She gritted her teeth, realising that her fears had come true.

Since it would only make her more worried, he didn't hide the truth from her. "About two hours ago, a parter suddenly withdrew their investment from a project that is halfway done and I have to go to the UK urgently. I'll be back soon, my love."

"I understand, honey. Take your time and be careful, okay?" She urged.

"Take care of yourself too." He hung up to resume his preparations.

When the call ended, Lanni thought of someone else and was scared to call her. Would that man attack Li Yuming too?

Before she could register this thought, she saw an incoming call from Flynn.

She was contemplating whether to answer it when it automatically connected and the annoying guy spoke up.

"He is trying to distract you. Let me help you handle this. I cannot handle Feng Ji International and neither can I deal with CEO Qian. But let me help you handle the little boy. Will you trust me?" His message sounded like it was intended for Luna.

The latter moved closer to Lanni's phone and asked, "Will you go against your dad?"

"Aren't I doing that already?" Flynn chuckled. "He is my father alright, but that doesn't make me on his side. I don't like what he is doing either."

"Like we would trust you." Lanni scoffed.

"Well, you better trust me, princess." He was as annoying as ever, but he didn't want to vex them too much so he immediately added, "He used me and now he is trying to use my sister too. Would I be on his side?"

The sisters exchanged shocked glances and widened their eyes. Luna was the first to snap back. "Sister? Is your sister Ji Feifei?"

That was the person that the man was currently trying to use.

However, Flynn chuckled. "Don't make wild guesses. Anyway, whether you trust me or not, I will deal with the little boy."

He hung up.

"Do you trust him?" Lanni asked faintly.

"Do I have a choice?" Luna sighed. "Lanni, why do I feel so anxious?"

Lanni hugged her, even though she felt the same way. "Calm down, Luna. Have some rest and try to relax. You need to take care of yourself. Should I call Xingyu over?"

"No. He must be helping Xiehan out. I don't want Xiehan to end up having to do everything by himself." She pulled away from Lanni's shoulder and tried to think about what to do.

"Right. The USB."

Lanni remembered it and went to her room then took it from her safe. She had kept it after successfully using it to threaten Flynn. Because it was meant for Luna, however, she had not checked it out.

"Luna, what if the content is shocking?" She asked.

"There isn't any shock I haven't received." Luna prepared to receive the USB, but was shocked when she saw it. "Isn't that the flash drive that Flynn gave to me before, the one I got rid of?"

"Xingyu gave it to me." Lanni explained as she uncapped it.

Luna finally understood why Flynn had berated her by saying that he had given her the answer. Indeed, he had given it to her, and she had thrown it away. Was her brain fried?

"Ready?" Lanni asked and inserted the USB flash drive when the other nodded.
