One of the most expensive, most sought-after, and most fortified exclusive villages in the country was Dragon Palace Homes . There were only ten properties in the village, but each of them occupied large expanses of land .
Security in the village was even tighter than that of the major banks and even comparable to the security team of the country's highest government officials . In fact, some of the property owners had private securities that were even better .
Dragon Palace Home #10 occupied the largest land and the most impressive mansion . This property's owner was Jin Liwei, President and CEO of the number one company in the country .
One needed to drive for about twenty minutes by car from the property's massive gates before reaching the palatial mansion .
The mansion was impressive, not only because of its size but also because of its glacial aura, just like its master . Jin Liwei lived alone in this huge house with his servants .
It was silent and chilly to the point that visitors would feel creeped out, like walking in an endless labyrinthine graveyard .
When Jin Liwei returned home from work, it was already night time . He ate a high class dinner alone on the long dinner table; his butler standing silently behind him, ready to serve him at any moment .
After dinner, he took a quick hot shower and changed into pyjamas . Then he headed straight to his home office to continue some of his unfinished work .
Ding!
His eyes lit up . Finally, an e-mail from the damn girl .
Long Xiulan: "See attached files . Send 590,025 . 73 RMB to my account for the expenses accrued while gathering information . See attached invoice . The original 5 million payment was only for the final reports . "
He immediately opened the attachments . After some time reading the five reports the damn girl sent him, he inhaled sharply . The more he read, the more shocked he became . His pupils contracted .
A few days ago, he finally received the results of the second investigation he ordered on Galaktika . When the results matched what the damn girl said about them when they first met at the hotel lobby, his interest in her increased . He was burning with curiosity as to how she got such secret information .
After just a couple of days, five Russian companies immediately sent their own business proposals, showing interest in partnering with his company after hearing that he rejected Galaktika's offer .
The new proposals presented both in Russian and in Chinese and even in English translations reminded her of the damn girl .
He didn't know what came over him to send her an e-mail . Perhaps he wanted confirmation that it was just a coincidence that the girl got it right the first time . Surprisingly, the girl had the audacity to ask for a total of 5 million payment from him . Amused, he immediately sent the money to her .
When she told him to wait three days, he couldn't stop himself from laughing . He smirked .
What did she need three days for? Fine . Just humour the girl and see what she comes up with .
He wasn't really expecting anything . He just treated this deal as a joke to amuse himself . However, there was still a niggling hope inside him for the damn girl to repeat her accurate assessment . He didn't want to acknowledge this tiny hope, but it was still there .
But now, not even three days since they e-mailed each other, he didn't feel amused at the deal anymore . Not at all . Reading the detailed and comprehensive reports she sent him, he felt absolutely shocked .
Each of the reports were worth many times more than what he paid for . He immediately sent the additional bill of a little over half million that she asked for . He was even tempted to send her an additional million as tip but managed to stop himself .
If she made a similar report on his Jin Corporation and handed it to his enemies…he didn't even want to think about it .
He stood up and walked to the window, looking at the night sky outside . The black clouds covered the moon and the stars .
One thing was clear after this experience . If she was really the one who created these reports, then the damn girl wasn't someone to be offended . She could destroy anyone whenever she wanted to .
Even someone like him .
His lips lifted to a smile, his eyes glinting dangerously like that of a predator who finally locked on to its much-awaited prey .
"Long Xiulan, who are you really? What other mysteries are you going to show me?"
