After a long and tiring row of requests and behests, Mada Sato finally agreed to Rong Xinghe's, or to be precise, Lu Xi's wishes. Shortly after, a thin woman dressed up in a traditional blue Hanfu, stepped into the room with the intent to escort the 'man' to the room where the woman nad Ruby was.
"Pick anyone you like, Brother.", Lu Xi turned around to grin at Ashfakh Ali, "I will pay." Before the man could even reply, the girl disappeared from the crowd's line of sight, as she followed behind the sylphlike woman.
"Oh my God! Mr. Lu is so hot.", one of the girls standing behind Mada Sato clutched the hem of her top as she blinked into space, dreamily, "Why does he always co looking for that bi*ch?!"
"I know, right?", another girl almost shrieked with excitent, "Have you seen his jawline? So sharp!"
"Forget that. I am in love with his collarbone. Although he is well-covered most of the ti, there was this one ti when his top two buttons were torn, and damn! He is damn sexy.", another one comnted.
anwhile, Ashfakh Ali just pinched the tip of his nose, as he attempted to suppress his laughter. Only if these won knew how 'masculine' this Lu Xi really was, he imagined. Of course, this wasn't the first ti Ashfakh Ali had seen Lu Alix. The Hybrids were, in fact, well-used to Rong Xinghe's male alias. The girl had undergone a lot of missions during the training in this get-up of hers. He had just never expected how deeply-blend their Alpha was, among the common n, among the public. So much so that she was even associated with people hailing from the largest Red-light area across the nation. It truly was, mind-boggling.
But right now, the man could only sit and wonder, of how would Xi Yuan react to this little escapade of his Missus, once he would tell him about this.
"Boss...", Mada Sato's voice soon disrupted Ashfakh Ali's thoughts, "Which one would you have?", she inquired, as she pointed her chin towards the girls standing behind her.
"None.", the man answered, "I am not interested."
"Oh.", the woman looked troubled, "Um... we don't have boys here, Boss. But I will arrange the best piece of at for you, from the brothel next to ours, if you want."
"...."

2:15 a.m., MZX Studios ;
Zhi Al strolled around Mo Zixuan in the newsroom lazily as he checked his mails. He was there to pick up the man since Cheng Tai had borrowed his car earlier that day to check on so lead. Mo Zixuan still had so files to organize, so he'd asked the man to settle-in for a few minutes.
"Co on, man. How much longer?!", Zhi Al complained as he grabbed a seat beside Mo Zixuan, "Can't you just take all of this ho?"
"Patience, Al.", Mo Zixuan chuckled, passing the man his can of soda, "Here. Just five minutes more."
With a sigh, the man downed the third soda can in the last half an hour, "Don't you find this boring?", he questioned, "All of this paperwork crap?"
"No. It's work. And I love it.", Mo Zixuan replied, marking sothing on one of the paper stacks with a highlighter, "Journalism to is what programming is to you. It's thrilling."
"Yeah? Well... you do look stunning in those three-piece-suits when you report. I've got to give you that.", the man shrugged, "I an, I and Feng Mian literally, had an argunt over how appealing you look both 'on and off' the caras."
"You did?", the man smiled, amused, "Please tell Mian was rooting for ."
"She absolutely was!", Zhi Al smiled back, as he thought of the banter he'd had with the woman, "I was the jealous boyfriend, with the silly cobacks. You, at the end of our fight, ca out to be the real ladykiller, though."
"Why... thank you, Sir."
"By the way, how is wedding life treating you and Cheng Tai? I an, you guys didn't get the chance to take a break ever since the big day, right?"
"Yeah. I an... we've both been busy trying to help Kiddo. What happened at her engagent was worriso, Al.", Mo Zixuan answered, "I did insist that we should go away for so ti. But Cheng Tai wouldn't listen to . She is worried about Xinghe.
"Honestly? too. Let's just face it. No one has ever had the audacity to challenge Xinghe like that, not so boldly, before this. We're both trying to help her. As much as possible, since we have a broader range of contacts in the underworld."
"Agreed. I've been looking out too... virtually. You know, to trace out any unusual or huge foreign capital transfers or transactions?"
"That's smart. Let's just keep our heads high."
The two n were in the middle of their conversation when out of nowhere, the ergency alarm installed throughout the Channel HQ went off. Mo Zixuan furrowed his brows as he walked around the newsroom and straight into the control room, Zhi Al following behind him. MZX Enterprise was the mightiest channel-group with ensured employee safety. This was, without a doubt, the first ti since the establishnt of that building that its security had been compromised. Naturally, the two n assud that it was possibly so false warning.
Since they were the only two people present in there, they had access over the entire place, including the production control unit and CCTV caras. In a matter of seconds, Mo Zixuan connected through to the set-up of the caras in the lobby.
As soon as the huge screen in front of their eyes lit-up, a feeling of unease settled in their hearts. More than fifty security officers guarding the building were lying around in their own pool of blood, scattered like crushed ants. The secondary glass entrance to the office was smashed into thousands of sharp pieces too. Clearly, the intruders were sowhere near them.
And none of them had a gun at hand. Not imdiately accessible, at least.
