Five in the afternoon.
Rain filled the sky, and all of Nanjiang City seemed veiled beneath a hazy curtain of water.
Droplets slid down the floor-to-ceiling windows of the high-rise, continuously gathering into puddles on the ground.
The red illuminated sign bearing the four words Tianheng Group cast its reflection down into them from above.
Splash!
Suddenly, a long Lailaosi sedan drove up, its black tires crushing the reflections in the water.
After checking the license plate, security quickly got up and let it through.
The gate opened, and the Lailaosi slowly pulled up outside the building's glass entrance.
Then seven or eight men in suits emerged from the building, vigilantly watching both sides, their waists bulging as they opened the door for her.
"Xu Qiang, where's my dad?"
The impeccably dressed Gao Xue stepped out of the car. Her gold earrings swayed gently, while her long, straight legs clicked sharply against the ground in high heels.
"Miss, the president is in his office."
The young man in a black suit, dressed like an elite professional, answered respectfully.
"Oh."
With an indifferent response, Gao Xue took two steps before turning curiously toward the seven or eight bodyguards around her.
"Xu Qiang, why are there suddenly so many people?"
"They're all here to protect you," Xu Qiang answered truthfully.
"Protect me?" Gao Xue frowned.
"Yes. Those are the president's orders. You'll also need to stay at the company tonight."
Gao Xue's frown deepened, and impatience appeared on her face again.
"What exactly is my dad doing? He's being all mysterious and not giving me any freedom at all."
"Did he offend someone again?"
Xu Qiang fell silent at her words, unable to explain.
Seeing his reaction, Gao Xue snorted unhappily and could only continue forward.
