Jackson knew that Lisa had Nine Heavens to manage, and how important Nine Heavens' position in the financial world was at the moment. She could throw the Chinese Medical Research Laboratory to one side, but she couldn't not bother about the Nine Heavens, right?

So when he was able to locate Nine Heaven's headquarters, he was stunned by what he found. The employees in the company were all active and enthusiastic at their work, the complete opposite of that lazy attitude of hers, and they were extremely passionate about their work.

When he understood the reason Jackson's presence, Yoongi laughed. "Miss Lalisa probably found something new to play with, you're better off just leaving her alone and waiting for her to find you instead."

"She doesn't manage Nine Heavens personally... She doesn't care?" Jackson asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It's not that she doesn't care, she delegates," Yoongi explained, going silent for a while after he said that. He continued earnestly, "I know about the Chinese Medical Research Lab, but Mr. Zhu, a lab isn't made and supported by just a single person. I think Miss Lalisa's actions are a way to show that she hopes that even without her in the lab, it will be able to function on its own, just the same as Nine Heavens."

Jackson was taken aback for a moment, and came to realize that he had indeed been relying on Lisa a lot in the recent days. Because no matter what problems they encountered, she would always be able to solve it easily and perfectly. It came to a point that he, Professor Jiang and the others had the habit of relying on her to solve their problems.

"I understand." Jackson stood up. "Thank you, Mr. Luo."

"Miss Lalisa isn't an irresponsible person, but she's just afraid of troublesome things." Yoongi said, gesturing to the news that was on screen. "There are countless people in the medical world, as well as reporters looking for her, can you blame her for wanting to hide?"

The secretary knocked on the door, bringing in a large stack of documents, which Yoongi passed to Jackson. "These are the things that Miss Lalisa passed me this afternoon. I actually didn't understand why she would, until you turned up."

Jackson took it, and read through the first one on top. It was a plan written by Lisa regarding the next development of the laboratory. He opened his mouth, asking blankly, "Why... why didn't she just send it directly to me?" Also, how did she know that he would come looking for Yoongi?

"Have you angered her recently?" Yoongi glanced at him, an understanding smile on his lips.

Jackson: "..."

Donghyuk walked around the resort, and asked, "Manager Liu, have there been any strange people appearing recently?"

"Strange people?" Manager Liu's face was still his usual, only his eyes flickered with an unknown emotion, and he said, "Yes, there were. However, all of them have been rounded up by Miss Lalisa." He tried to calm his heart which was beating fast in his chest.

"What does that mean?" Donghyuk asked, looking up in surprise. However, Manager Liu refused to say anything more on the subject.

"Mr. Donghyuk, the rooms you'll be staying in are in this building" Manager Liu smiled, pointing to the building in front of him. "There are a lot of fun things to do on the rooftop, I wish you a pleasant stay."

After an entire day of trying to pull some information out, Donghyuk's mind was in a mess. Why were all the people here so sly and cunning!

"Donghyuk," Cecily fiddled with her seaweed-like hair as she slowly walked towards him, a glint of interest in her eyes. "I found an interesting place."
