Aaron found out ra was heading out today, so he sent his men to tail her. But halfway through, another car blocked them, and ra''s vehicle vanished without a trace. It seemed even the surveince footage had been tampered with. Her boyfriend couldn''t just be an ordinary guy.


    Aaron rubbed his temples, deep in thought. He''d even tried probing Simon, but Simon was clueless about this mysterious man too. In fact, Simon was investigating him as well.


    "Should we keep following her, sir?" one of his men asked.


    Aaron''s voice took on a serious tone, "No,e back for now."


    He nced at the photo in his hand, desperate to discover who Dn was pointing a gun at. But years of investigation had led nowhere. This person seemed to be a ghost in the elite circles of the Capital.


    What was the secret between Dn and ra?


    He set the photo down and lit a cigarette. Momentster, after a hurried phone call, someone nearby spoke up, "Sir, Lincoln''s body has been found! Walter''s already there."


    The discovery of Lincoln''s body meant Aaron couldn''t focus all his attention on ra anymore. He stubbed out his cigarette on the coffee table, regaining his calmposure.


    "Let''s go take a look."


    After being deprived of proper meals for days, one meal wasn''t enough for him. ra had been through the wringer several times and nowy in his arms, catching her breath.


    The man gently wiped her forehead with a handkerchief. Annoyed, she turned her head, "Didn''t I tell you we had to stop before three?"


    "Did you? I must''ve missed that," he replied with a teasing grin.


    ra was frustrated. It was almost four, and she had a long drive ahead with no time to freshen up. Taking a deep breath, she quickly slipped into her clothes from the sofa.


    Z wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, nuzzling into the small of her back. "How about Ie visit you next time?"


    ra thought about how he was always alone in this dimly lit ce. It wouldn''t be long before the solitude took a toll on his mental health. "Sure, but text me before youe. I''ve got to go now."


    As she stood, her legs wobbled, nearly giving out. He scooped her up like a cat, reluctant to let go.


    ra cated him with a few quick kisses on his lips, "Alright, I really have to run."


    He finally let her go, chuckling softly. ra hurriedly drove back to the city and dashed into a makeup studio for a touch-up. Thankfully, the studio she randomly picked had decent skills. With no time to change at home, she wrapped a couple''s scarf around her neck to hide the marks Z had deliberately left, then headed to the hotel.


    The hotel was by the riverside, with window seats offering stunning views. She took a deep breath, checked her wless makeup, and stepped out of the elevator on the top floor.


    Passing staff couldn''t help but be wowed by her look. ra''s outfit was youthful and lively, with a bright scarf that added a pop of energy.


    She instantly spotted Dn by the window, sitting across from a woman. Compared to ra''s fresh look, the woman looked more polished and alluring.


    ra quickly made her way over and slid into the seat next to Dn, "Sorry, Dn, I''mte."


    The woman, who had been unting her charm, frowned at ra''s arrival. Dn, who had been disinterested, turned his attention to ra at her words. She rarely wore makeup, but today she looked vibrant, her lips shimmering with gloss. She smiled warmly at him, linking her arm with his and sweetly calling his name.
