In a medium-sized dully decorated bedroom, The sunbeam hit right at a handsome young man's face who is still asleep. The man opens his eyes for a moment before closing it again. But not long before he gets off of his bed to the washroom.

In front of the mirror, The man looks at himself, He has a light-dark circle over his eyes, But that still can't affect his attractive face.

This man is Li Yuheng. After writing a master plan until dawn yesterday, He has no time to relax. Everything needs to be in order or it can easily backfire. Hence he needs to see White Rose again so soon, But it can't be helped.

After dressing up, He looks good that you would've believed if he said he was an international model without questioning him. He nodded happily and took his car towards White Rose's place.

The skyscraper where White Rose's office was located, Li Yuheng arrived here again. He enters the building and waits for the elevator to arrive but is a little bit surprised because Shu Xiuying is inside. Their eyes meet, He nods with a smile, The same for Shu Xiuying, But he can feel Shu Xiuying's expression feels a bit wrong.

When the elevator stopped and opened, The receptionist from yesterday rushes towards him and insists to guide him to see White Rose. He is a bit surprised because White Rose take the initiative, But he didn't think too much and quietly follows the receptionist.

They arrived and enter a nondescript door, The room looks modern with an accent of white, The inside is very spacious with a few comfortable looking sofas and the floor is made out of shining marble, But what attracts Li Yuheng the most is the woman in the chair.

The woman is signing a document, She doesn't even look at Li Yuheng once when he comes in. The woman is mature and attractive, Wrapped in an office lady suit that displays her slender figure, She looks like a woman most men will dream of.

Li Yuheng meanwhile is thoughtful, Is she White Rose? Is the novel is exaggerating? While the woman is certainly enough to compete in Miss Universe, But even in his previous life, this kind of beauty isn't that rare if you're looking hard enough.

The receptionist bows to the woman before leaving the room.

Leaving only the two inside, There is still no sound of conversation, The woman is still signing a document without saying a word and Li Yuheng also shamelessly sits on the sofa. He has to say the sofa is very comfortable, Too comfortable in the fact that he falls asleep.

"Why are you here?"

The woman broke the silence with her gaze still fixed in the document, But after doesn't hear any reply she gets a bit angry and decided to continue working on her documents.

The comfortable morning has gone and the scorching high noon has arrived and yet the man and woman still haven't talked to each other. The difference is one of them falls asleep and one of them is way too focused on working.

Around an hour later, Li Yuheng wakes up, Feeling fresh and energetic. He drinks a water bottle on the table and stares at the woman again.

"Well then, Are you ready to talk?" While the sofa is very comfortable to sleep on, He still has many things to do today so he can't delay any longer.

"What do you want." The woman said in an aggravated tone.

"Can I talk with White Rose then?"

"Are you stupid? Of course, I'm White Rose."

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

"Stop faking it already, Let me see White Rose and get this done fast."

The woman stopped working on her document and for the first time look at Li Yuheng in the eye. Shock and fear are showing in her eyes.

From the beginning, Li Yuheng's instinct is telling him this woman is not White Rose. It's affirmed when this woman doesn't care about him sleeping on the sofa and drinking the water bottle.

White Rose in the novel hates when someone touches her items without permission. If Li Yuheng's guess is right, This woman should've been her stand-in actress, A body that will go for her when she needs to meet up with someone.

Why goes such length? Even Li Yuheng doesn't know. But all the evidence supports the idea.

"Well then. Are you gonna come or not? If you miss this chance, You would've died you know."

He speaks to White Rose because he knows White Rose must be listening from somewhere.

Before he can say any more words, The door was opened by a woman dressed in cheongsam with a tray in her hands. A phone is ringing in the tray, Waiting to be picked up.

The woman in the office chair seemed to understand something, As she gets up and leaves. Li Yuheng grabs the phone, sits on the sofa, and received the call immediately.

"Hello? It's nice to talk with you again, White Rose. I'm here to offer you another deal."

There is no reply from the other end but Li Yuheng continues talking.

"You should know by now, The disappearance of the orphanage you cherish is not so simple. Now that you are on their radar, How can an intel specialized team like yours fight against those monsters? You have two choices, Run or fight. But I know you can't do both."

"I'm the one that pulls you into this, If I haven't met you, You will still be an ignorant that live a long peaceful life. But you are alive to search for the truth, aren't you? The last 10 years you spend building power and reputation is impressive, But compared to those bastards, you are still nothing but an ant."

"I'm a believer that everybody should harbor the consequences of their action, As such, I will be responsible for your and your subordinate's safety, As a bonus, I will also present the truth you were looking for."

"As for what I need it's very simple, Your absolute obedience, If I told you to jump off the cliff, I need you to do so."

"Think about it, I will be waiting until dusk."

Li Yuheng speaks in one breath with an assertive tone, While White Rose on the other phone is still silent.

...... ...... .......

Time passes, The dusk is coming, The phone is still connected, And there still isn't a single reply from White Rose. Li Yuhang is currently feasting a lot of delicious expensive dishes provided by the office's chef, But a sweet voice soon interferes with his enjoyment.

"Are you sure you can keep me and my subordinates safe?"

"Of course." Li Yuheng answers nonchalantly and continues eating.

"......Even if I agree, How will you prove your words are true?"

"It took an insane person to jump off a mountain, Not a brave one."

".....Fine, I agree."

Li Yuheng smiled. "That is good. Your first job will be making a new company under my name, Then transfer Shu Xiuying there. Second, let's meet up. You can choose the place and time but it can't be longer than 3 days from today. Third, Tell your subordinates to go inactive and erase their traces. Then wait for my order."

𝘉𝘭𝘶𝘳𝘣~ The call is disconnected. Li Yuheng grin happily then finished his meal before going home.

Banyan Private Villa Residence

Banyan Private Villa Residence is a villa complex around the size of a football field. Located in a pretty remote area of Jinpeng city, Most locals thought it was built as an investment property, But they don't know it's a base for the underground businesswoman, White Rose. She is currently lying down on a wooden office table, Fatigued and anxious.

It all started when a mysterious man visited her, Saying he knows about the orphanage she has been looking for and giving her an address to find some clues and she did find some important clues, But a heavy price need to be paid.

A mysterious force has been attacking her nonstop ever since. She can't last much longer and the worst of all is she can't track who is her attacker was.

She is anxious when Li Yuheng, The mysterious man come again today, she had prepared a body double to dig for information about his purpose. But what was surprising was he knew the White Rose he sees was fake. How is that possible? Does he know my face? Even the body double's voices are synthetically made to match her voice.

All sorts of questions are running through her brain until she decided she will just confront him directly, asking what he really wanted.

Listening to his words, Everything he said was the truth. White rose knows if she misses this chance, she will probably never knows the truth about the orphanage. But on the other side, She cares about her subordinates. After years of knowing each other, It's normal for friendships to be made.

He gives her time until dusk to think about it, Which she uses 110% of her brainpower to think about the circumstances and draw a few conclusions.

One, Li Yuheng doesn't seem to be affiliated with the mysterious force that has been attacking her. Two, Li Yuheng seems devoted to getting Shu Xiuying. Three, Li Yuheng doesn't seem to have any malicious intentions toward White Rose team.

She finally agreed with a heavy heart, Doesn't know if she made the right decision or not.
