The sensation of pain was so vivid that I screamed myself awake.

Awake, I looked at the pitch-black night outside the window, my body trembling slightly.

Footsteps stopped outside the door.

“Ayun, did you have a nightmare?”

Ding Yinuo’s voice came in through the door crack; it seemed he hadn’t fallen asleep yet.

I cleared my throat and called out,

“It’s okay, I’m fine!”

“Remember to take your medication, it has a calming effect.”

“Oh, Okay!”

Only then did I remember that I had forgotten to take my medication today. I quickly got out of bed, opened the pill bottle, took a few pills and swallowed them with a sip of water.

I got up, changed into another set of pyjamas, and lay down on the bed.

The latter part of the night was much quieter.

No more nightmares.

I slept soundly until it was bright outside.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Ding Yinuo’s figure moving around in the living room.

He stopped several times at the door of my bedroom, as if he wanted to talk to me.

But I didn’t call out to him.

Thinking about the minor spat we had last night, I decided not to call him temporary.

He walked back and forth a few times until his footsteps gradually faded away.

Then I changed my clothes and came out.

Although it was already bright outside, the weather was a bit gloomy. Dark clouds filled the sky, and even though it wasn’t raining, a cold wind blew through. A few unsecured windows were making a clattering noise.

I approached the window and saw that the streets outside were quite deserted, with pedestrians huddled in their coats.

Thinking about what was about to happen, I still felt a bit nervous.

Ding Yinuo had already gone to the office.

Sitting on the sofa, I picked up my phone intending to call him, but after some thought, I decided not to.

I’ll talk to him properly after this matter is over.

After organizing the data, I was ready to leave.

Song Zexi had previously given me an address. He had arranged his press conference at the Baisheng Building.

It was quite close to the Huaxin Group. The press conference would probably begin at ten o’clock sharp.

I got there around half-past nine, and what surprised me was how much influence Song Zexi still had. Although the time hadn’t come, many people had already gathered outside the hotel. Among these people were some old employees of Huaxin Group and a few news media reporters.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but I spotted a blue car in the parking lot that looked a lot like Ding Yinuo’s.

Could he be here too?

But when I thought about it, it didn’t seem right.

After all, I didn’t tell him about this. He doesn’t know, so it shouldn’t be him, right?

At around twenty past nine, I came to the tenth floor with other reporters.

There was a large conference room on this floor where the press conference would be held.

But because it was not time yet, security personnel were barring the entrance to the conference room.

While I was waiting, I heard the reporters eagerly discussing it.

“Everyone, I heard that Song Zexi, the second son of Huaxin Group, is going to openly challenge President Gu?”

“The Song Family has now fallen, even their houses have been confiscated, like dogs losing a house. What qualifications do they have to challenge Gu Yuanzhou? It’s just a futile struggle. In my opinion, he should just resign himself to his fate.”

“I heard he has some dirt on Gu Yuanzhou. Don’t forget, Gu Yuanzhou was once the son-in-law of the Song Family, and he worked with Song Shixiong. So, whatever he did in the past, others may not know, but the Song Family definitely knows clearly.”

“Oh, is that so? Haha, it seems like it’s going to be explosive. We’ll just sit back and enjoy the show.”

Standing among these reporters, I couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

I felt like they knew too much.

The press conference hadn’t started yet, so how did they know Song Zexi was going to expose Gu Yuanzhou’s secrets?

If even the reporters knew, then did Gu Yuanzhou know?

I clenched the black briefcase in my hand a little tighter. There were at least hundreds of people clustered at the entrance to the conference room.

Amidst the sea of people, I spotted Ayu.

He was wearing a long windbreaker and black sunglasses, seemingly looking for a target in the crowd.

Even though we were hundreds of meters apart, he suddenly turned and walked towards me.

With his tall stature and agile movements, he was quickly by my side.

“What’s in your hands?”

He was staring at my briefcase.

“Why should I tell you!”

“You’re here to find Song Zexi, aren’t you?”

I somehow felt that Ayu’s gaze carried a dangerous ferocity. He didn’t appear to have good intentions when he was looking at me.

I instinctively stepped back,

“I don’t know you, and what I’m doing is none of your business. Please stop blocking my way!”

Not only did Ayu not retreat from my reprimanding, but he continued to bear down upon me.

“Give me the bag in your hands!”

I immediately hid the briefcase behind me, looking at him angrily,

“Get out of my way!”

He reached out to me,

“Give me your bag!”

“Why should I?”

“The thing inside the bag is not friendly towards President Gu. I must take it.”

Ayu’s words exposed my plan.

I was shocked. Had my secret already been leaked?

How did he know that there was something fishy in my briefcase?

I definitely couldn’t let him take it. This stuff was crucial and was almost the key to whether today’s press conference would be successful or not.

But as a tall man, I was sure I couldn’t beat Ayu.

I needed to find a way to get out…

“I have no idea what you’re talking about, but Ayu, your behaviour is very out of line. You should keep your distance, or else I’ll scream!”

I held the briefcase tightly, not letting him take it.

Surprisingly, he didn’t fall for it. He continued to press me and even waved his hand at me, attempting to snatch it forcefully.

Soon, he cornered me and reached for the briefcase in my hand. In the struggle,

Someone had just placed a cup of coffee beside me. I picked it up and splashed it on his face, drenching him.

While he wiped his face with both hands, I got an opening and slipped out from under his arm, then ran towards the elevator.

Luckily, the elevator doors were open. I rushed in and immediately pressed the down button.

I pressed it a few times but it didn’t move. A man beside me reminded me,

“Miss, the elevator is going up! You’ll have to wait a while!”

It was then that I noticed the problem. This meant that when the elevator went down later, I was likely to run into Ayu again.

So, I got off the elevator on the thirteenth floor, then took out the file materials from inside and stuffed them behind an advertisement board of a company before reentering the elevator with the now-empty briefcase.

Once I was able to calm down, I called Song Zexi.

I originally wanted him to pick up the materials on the thirteenth floor, but for some reason, his phone was turned off.

While I was lost in thought, the elevator door opened, and Ayu appeared at the door.
