Mistaken Identity (1)

~ Chapter 62 ~

"Leader Xi, we're here!"

Lu Yizhi exclaimed after he parked the car a few meters away from the magnificent gates of the Northern Sky Palace. He turned his head to look at Wang Rouxi who was quickly typing away on her laptop without any expression on her face.

Rows and rows of data were reflected on her eyes as countless 0's and 1's flooded the screen nonstop.

[ ACCESS GRANTED ]

The corner of Wang Rouxi's lips unknowingly pulled up into a smirk. Her fingers danced swiftly across the keyboard, producing a rich rhythmic tapping sound.

Seeing the right side of her red lips tugged upwards creating an illusion of an aloof goddess, Lu Yizhi didn't say more and opted to silently admire this beautiful view.

Encrypted files one after another were transferred to the laptop faster than one could blink. This process didn't last long and after a few more seconds, another line of text appeared on the screen.

[ 100 % COMPLETE ]

Wang Rouxi closed the laptop and placed it next to her, a chilling coldness flashed in her eyes for a second before it went back to its normal indifferent gaze.

Not wanting to waste her precious time while sitting inside the car, she decided to hack into the Headquarters' main server on their way here. There were just too many things that they had hidden from her. She was kept in the dark all this time!

Since they did not want to let her know, then the Headquarters would not know that it was her, Wang Rouxi, who had infiltrated their system.

A tit for tat.

Wang Rouxi merely glanced at Lu Yizhi before turning her gaze to the majestic gates of this prestigious estate. "Northern Sky Palace," she murmured under her breath, a thoughtful expression on her beautiful face.

However, at that moment, two guards wearing the Northern Sky Palace insignia vigilantly approached their car.

The guards had noticed an unidentified car parked near the gates of the estate not too long ago. If it were before, they would pass it off as some paparazzi trying to get stolen photographs of the prominent residents here. But with the recent shooting incident involving the CEOs of the big companies, the security of the Northern Sky Palace had been heightened and fortified.

After observing for some time, they started to become wary as there were no signs of movement inside the car.

Wang Rouxi checked the time on her wristwatch; exactly a minute left for Secretary Sun to come.

Lu Yizhi also took notice of the guards approaching their car and turned to Wang Rouxi for instruction. "Leader..."

Wang Rouxi nodded her head at him and decisively rolled down the car window after sensing their cautious stance, "Is there anything I can help you with, sirs?"

Hearing her angelic voice and seeing her heavenly countenance, the two guards felt like they were dreaming.

The guard on the left wondered if his eyes were playing tricks on him. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the woman again.

He could not believe it!

There, in front of him, was a living goddess!

"Wei Shi, am I dreaming?" asked the guard next to him.

The guard named 'Wei Shi' did not know how he should respond to that. He glanced at his partner, perplexed, before reaching out his hand.

The next second...

"Ahhh! Why did you pinch me?!"

Wei Shi could only plaster a smile on his face as he said innocently, "It hurts? Then you are not dreaming, Brother Jing."

'Brother Jing' was speechless.

A simple 'yes' or 'no' would suffice, right? Was there really a need to inflict physical pain?!

"You... you..." Brother Jing didn't know what else to say as he pointed a finger at Wei Shi.

"What?" Wei Shi crossed his arms over his chest. "You'll ask for it anyway, will you not?"

Brother Jing was tongue-tied as he scratched the back of his head out of embarrassment. He could not really refute what Wei Shi had said because that was probably what he would have done even after hearing the other party's confirmation.

Watching the two guards bantering with each other, Wang Rouxi seemed amused as her perfectly arched eyebrows raised, a hint of a smile showing on her face.

Lu Yizhi was also speechless.

Did they really have to exaggerate it like that?

After having a clear look at who it was inside the car, a single thought passed through the guards' minds which left them astounded and their jaws dropped on the ground.

"It's goddess Xinji!"

But wasn't Wang Xinji a black-haired beauty?

If it was not for the banging sound of a car door closing, the two guards would still have remained staring at the goddess with their mouths agape.

Averting their gazes, they saw a middle-aged man alighting from the driver's seat of a newly-arrived car. He seemed to be worn out judging by his slightly wrinkled suit and the haggard look on his face.

"Is there something wrong here?" Secretary Sun frowned slightly as he saw the two guards.

Wei Shi and Brother Jing just stood there with their eyes wide-open.

That is Sun Yiqi, right?

The legendary Secretary Sun Yiqi!

Recognizing that the man was the secretary working under the CEO's office of the Wang Empire Estates, the two guards hurriedly shook their heads no.

"Nothing.. nothing.."

"All's good!"

The last bit of doubt in the hearts of the two guards diminished and they bowed deeply towards 'Wang Xinji's' direction.

"We'll take our leave now."

Excusing themselves dutifully, the two guards walked back to their posts in a daze. They still could not believe that they would have a chance encounter with their goddess Xinji in this lifetime!

Unaware of the guards' mistaken thoughts, Secretary Sun turned to Wang Rouxi and greeted warmly, "Miss Rouxi, good morning!"

He had been on tenterhooks since that call from her yesterday. Those words haunted him even in his sleep: 'Secretary Sun, I apologize for the short notice. Something came up so I had to go.' That voice was cold and devoid of emotion.

Secretary Sun thought that she really had an emergency. It was only later that day that he was informed that she hated tardiness the most, which means that the call was her way of warning him for being late!

Now, Secretary Sun felt a flood of relief when he finally saw this new boss of his. His tense muscles visibly eased and he felt as though a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

"Miss Rouxi, I apologize for my earlier offense. I hope you can forgive me." Secretary Sun bowed deeply. "The Master has been waiting for your arrival. Shall we go now?"
