코드 속의 사랑 (Love In Code)

The Ghost in the Machine

Xiao Wan's curiosity about Victor's plans grew. She decided to investigate further.

While Ling Ling slept, Xiao Wan snuck into Li Zhe's study, searching for clues.

She accessed Li Zhe's computer, navigating through encrypted files.

Suddenly, a message popped up:

"Welcome, Xiao Wan. I've been waiting."

Xiao Wan's heart skipped a beat. Who was this?

The chat window revealed a mysterious handle: "Ghost."

Ghost: "You're meddling in things you don't understand."

Xiao Wan: "Who are you?"

Ghost: "Someone who knows Victor's true intentions."

Xiao Wan's fingers flew across the keyboard.

Xiao Wan: "What do you know?"

Ghost: "Meet me at Club Eclipse tonight. Come alone."

The chat ended abruptly.

Xiao Wan's mind reeled. What had she just gotten herself into?

Meanwhile, Li Zhe, unaware of Xiao Wan's encounter with Ghost, struggled with his own demons.

His past mistakes haunted him, fueling his determination to protect Xiao Wan and Ling Ling.

As night fell, Xiao Wan prepared to meet Ghost, her heart racing.

Li Zhe noticed her unease. "Xiao Wan, what's wrong?"

Xiao Wan hesitated, unsure how much to reveal.

"Just worried about Ling Ling," she said finally.

Li Zhe's eyes narrowed. "Is everything okay?"

Xiao Wan forced a smile. "Yes, everything's fine."

Li Zhe's gaze lingered, sensing something was amiss.
