Seungyoun escorted Yibo and Zhan to the front of their office safely. Once out of the car Zhan immediately turned to the driver.

"Thank you for taking us, I am very grateful" Zhan bowed his body to thank Seungyoun.

"There's no need to hesitate, Yibo's friend is my friend too. If you need anything, please contact me," said Seungyoun, winking.

"Hurry and go" Yibo said in a cold tone.

"You're so mean, don't want to let me in?" Seungyoun asked with a pitiful face.

"No. This is not my home," Yibo said.

"Then, Yibo-di and Xiao Zhan. I'll excuse myself first," Seungyoun said as he left.

"Bo-di, what about your motorcycle? If Seungyoun can't drive it, what if someone stole it?" Zhan asked, staring at Yibo worriedly, because his bike was not an ordinary motorbike that would be unnoticed when someone saw it, especially if they knew the price they would definitely have evil intentions.

"If lost, I'll buy again" Yibo said leaving Zhan who was standing in his place for a while. The younger's words somehow made him feel a little offended.

"Arrogant jerk" Zhan hissed, walking after Yibo.

He noticed that the office is crowded with people passing in and out. Yibo almost hit someone, if Zhan didn't pull him back immediately.

"Why are there so many people here?" Zhan asked Zhuo Cheng. Meanwhile Yibo headed to his seat.

"Didn't you hear what I said on the phone?" Zhuo Cheng said.

"Of course, That's not what I'm asking. Why are people running around?" Zhan said while sitting in his own place.

"Listen to me.. Come closer!" Zhou Cheng whispered. Because their distance was not too far away, Xiao Zhan only moved his legs so that the chair with his wheel walked towards Zhuo Cheng.

"So. What happened?" Zhan asked.

"You already know the identity of the victim this time, right?" Zhuo Cheng asked. Xiao Zhan nodded.

"You know.." Zhuo Cheng whispered in Zhan's ear. "The girl's father came to this office as soon as we found out the girl's identity, he said he would pay anyone who could find the person who killed his child, half of his wealth and I just read that half of his wealth was almost 2 trillion dollars," said Zhuo Cheng.

"2 trillion dollars?" Zhan screamed with rounded eyes.

"Yes. You heard it right!!!" Zhuo Cheng said excitedly.

"That girl's boyfriend is so stupid. He should have eloped just with that girl but why did that girl have to die first?" Zhan sighed.

"We do not know the exact cause of the girl's death. Moreover, our evidence does not suggest that her boyfriend was the culprit," said Zhuo Cheng.

"Speaking of evidence, we have to ask this to Yibo," Zhan said, asking Zhuo Cheng to approach Yibo's table.

In the meanwhile, Yibo already turned on his laptop and started his work. He looks busy with an oddly shaped device and his hands endlessly type many letters in abstract. The laptop monitor displays strange codes with a black background.
