The Mission 3 Years Ago

After contemplating for a short while, Wang Rouxi decided on a black short sleeve pencil dress with western style belt. It has no frills or flounce, and in fact, it is quite plain, but she still preferred to wear this over the other trendy dresses here.

She also grabbed a pair of black dress flats to go along with her dress. Standing at 178cm, Wang Rouxi didn't really wear heels that much.

Having chosen her attire for the day, she went out of the walk-in closet with the dress and flats in her hands, which she then laid out on the bed.

Glancing down at her wristwatch, she realized that she took almost five minutes just to pick out an outfit to wear. She only had 25 minutes and 12 seconds remaining.

Not wanting to waste another second, she started undressing herself. She first removed her shoes before moving on to her long-sleeve shirt. Her hands had just reached up to start unbuttoning her shirt when she heard a faint rustle outside her door.

The sound was barely audible, but with her acute hearing, she still managed to catch it.

Wang Rouxi's eyes narrowed into thin slits as she moved towards the door, her footsteps as light as a feather.

Lu Yizhi should have left to fetch her car, right?

Who could it be now?

To catch whoever it was by surprise, she opened the door with a bang and a startled young man came into view.

"What are you still doing here?" Wang Rouxi asked, raising an eyebrow at Lu Yizhi who had retreated a few meters from shock.

"Leader, are we not really going to use your Ferrari?" Lu Yizhi hurried over and almost went down on his knees to beg.

But just like last time, he was ruthlessly denied, "No."

Lu Yizhi could only lament in his heart, but he pushed the matter to the back of his mind for now as he got down to business. "Eh, Leader..."

Wang Rouxi merely stared at him as she leaned against the door frame with her arms crossed.

"... Qingya told me to ask you about the mission given by the Headquarters... The mission to protect the new CEO of Wang Empire Estates, what should we do about it?"

Lu Yizhi and the others were on their way to the Northern Sky Palace when Wang Rouxi called them back. Receiving her immediate orders, they decisively turned back and put their mission aside.

They were not really afraid of the Headquarters. It's just that, it would be troublesome to explain to those knuckleheads their situation.

Turning to look at Wang Rouxi, Lu Yizhi saw her looking at him without saying a word.

'Is there something on my face?' He thought to himself as he pulled out a small mirror from his pocket. But after checking for a few times, he still couldn't see any dirt on his handsome face.

Not comprehending the strange look their leader was giving him, Lu Yizhi just scratched the back of his head as he awaited Wang Rouxi's response.

"I'll deal with it."

Wang Rouxi said that and then entered her room, not waiting for Lu Yizhi to say more. She only had 21 minutes and 15 seconds left.

Without wasting another second, she quickly shrugged off her clothes before putting on the black dress. It's not too loose nor too tight on her, it fitted her just right.

Afterwhich, she sat in front of the vanity table, taking the specially made ointment out of the drawer and using it to remove her mask.

Looking at the mirror, she saw her face was slightly red due to irritation. People would feel itchy for wearing this kind of mask for a prolonged period of time.

Wang Rouxi was no different. But after wearing masks for so many years, she already got used to it. She pulled out some bottles from the drawer as well and started applying cleanser, toner, cream and a few other facial products on her face.

The mask which made her look like Lu Sha had been kept in a sealed box. But a similar box was now sitting on the table.

Picking up the box, Wang Rouxi opened it to reveal a piece of paper and another mask.

She unfolded the paper and read:

[ S - Class: Take over Wang Empire Estates

(Assumed identity)

Name: Wang Rouxi

Age: 26

Date of Birth: March 07, XXXX

Appearance: <attached photo> ]

Wang Rouxi looked over at the attached photo and saw a familiar face. The one in the photo was not her, rather, it was someone who looked almost identical to her.

The corners of her mouth pulled up into a smirk.

The Headquarters wanted her to pose as "Wang Rouxi"?

They didn't realize that she already knew her real identity.

Tsk.

If the Headmaster thinks that he could pull one over her, he has another thing coming for him.

This mission was given to her three years ago. It was this mission that made her leave the country back then. The Headquarters had sent her out of the country to undergo "special training" and they forbade her to have any form of communication with her faction.

Thinking about it now, Wang Rouxi realized that all of those were orchestrated so they could deal with her people. Without her faction tying her down, she could focus on taking over Wang Empire Estates.

Of course, Wang Rouxi would not disappoint them. She would do her best in completing this mission. After all, she was the rightful heiress of the Wang's and the Wang Empire Estates was destined to be hers sooner or later.

With a dark glint in her eyes, she folded that piece of paper once more and kept it on the top drawer of her nightstand.

Finishing her look with a light makeup, Wang Rouxi stood in front of the full length mirror to look at herself. The black dress complimented her creamy white skin and her blonde hair flowed freely down her back.

It was actually amazing how she turned from a pale and sickly young man into a beautiful black angel in barely half an hour.

Noting the time, she securely strapped a small gun to her leg under her dress and made sure that it would be hidden quite well.

Nodding at herself in the mirror, she grabbed the black purse she prepared the night before and she stepped out of her room.

The half an hour soon passed and right on the dot, she left her house and set off to the Northern Sky Palace.

It's time to meet her parents.
