Ru remained silent at his sudden outburst. Even if the truth was exactly as he said, it had nothing to do with her. She had her own twisted life to worry about and there was no space to fit in anyone else' problems as well.
Realizing how he had just said too much Xiao Zhi Ren was a bit flustered. But it had become too easy for him to talk to Ru about anything without restraint. Perhaps his trust and faith in her really were boundless now.
"I need some fresh air," Ru made the excuse to get out of here. Her team was waiting for orders. Xiao Zhi Ren wanted to stop her but didn't. Although Ru didn't say anything, from her chilly aura, Xiao Zhi Ren conjectured one thing; Ru definitely didn't like what he said. But why?
Walking straight out of the main hall, Ru's mind had the answer to his question. She didn't like the feeling of loathsome Xiao Zhi Ren had for his father. She was the kind of person who didn't like judging a person from society's eyes.
In her daze, she collided into someone and without looking up, she said, "Sorry!"
She was planning on walking right past that figure but halted when she heard this voice, "Mr. Xie!"
Ru looked up and came face to face with an elderly man's face beaming with gentleness. And right by his side was Ji Yifeng who had called her name. "Are you feeling okay?"
Ru tried to put on her polite smile and answered, "Yes. Just a bit stuffed up. So, I thought I should admire your flower garden. I've heard quite a bit about its beauty."
Ji Yifeng nodded his head finding her words believable. However, the elderly man beside him, Ji Rusheng, his father looked a bit surprised. Looking at Ru's face, he was lost in a daze. Her face resembled that person in his memory so much that he had a hard time believing his own eyes.
Ji Rusheng shook his head and turned to Ru saying, "So, you're Xie Rong. I've heard a lot of praises about you young man."
"Praises? Then you must have heard about someone else. People don't really praise me." Ru said honestly. She was well aware of her own reputation. There was no reason for anyone to use honeyed words with her.
Old Master Ji Rusheng gave a hearty laugh and said to his son, Ji Yifeng, "You're right. This young man is really amusing." He turned back to Ru and said, "I heard you are really fond of my antique collection."
Ru scratched her head sheepishly. "I do actually."
Old Master Ji Rusheng patted her shoulder and added, "Come to visit again. I'd love to show you my collection." By his side, even his son was surprised to hear those words coming from his father. he knew how much Ji Rusheng treasured his collection and he never let anyone come close to it as well. But Ji Yifeng didn't know that his father had instantly become fond of Ru. "Now, go and have a walk in the garden. Should I ask someone to accompany you?"
"No, no... I don't want to trouble you. I'll find my way." Ru rejected immediately and darted out but not before bowing her head in respect. Her last gesture raised Ji Rusheng's liking for her even more.
Out in the garden, Ru found a dark corner and said, "Come out."
Five figures almost flew out of the dark to stand in an organized manner before her. "All of you have the flash drive I gave you."
"Yes, master!"
"Spread around, everyone is busy in the banquet. Other courtyards must only have servants. It's the right time for us. Find the computer whose hard drive has been attacked by my virus. After that, insert that flash drive in that computer and leave. Are we clear?" Ru detailed the plan once more to make it clear.
Jake raised his hand to ask for permission and as he was granted, he asked, "Master, the one whose computer has your virus, isn't it obvious that's the culprit we are looking for?"
Ru threw him a deadly glare before saying, "Don't waste my time. Get out! I'll take the innermost courtyard. The rest is yours."
All of them bowed and scattered around. If it was as simple as finding the computer which initiated the attack on her Empires server, wouldn't she have caught the culprits by now?
Looking back at the building where the banquet was going on, Ru stretched her body a bit. She walked to the back of the house and darted her eyes around to find anything amiss. Seeing the coast clear, she ran towards the wall ahead of her to climb.
