She raced back in her vehicle, shifting through the vast towers of the city, her eyes wandering from one place to other, until they met with the billboard.
Her car stopped sideways, she stepped out of the car onto the paved way, her own advertisement was displayed on the billboard, it was for a beauty brand, precisely a lipbalm, she heard the people walking,
"She was living such a good life, why would she end it?" A passerby said as he shaked his head in disbelief,
"In such a high position, vultures are always there"
The middle aged woman accompanying him responded,
Jiang li was observing the duo, reliving a familiar seen,
Inside a mansion, she sat on a lounge, comfortable and informal,
"Everywhere I go, there are your fans; you indeed have made it big" A young woman complimented her as they watched the movie on the screen,a horror film,
"It didn't emerge out of wind, I worked for this" Yanli replied eating the dish in her bowl.
Jiang li gently placed her hand on the car window turning herself away from the view of the billboard, she placed herself at the driver's seat and took a glance of her own self in the wing mirror,
Jiang li, I am Jiang li, she throwed the harsh words at her own consciousness.
She was there, in a library. She sat quiet with the diary in her hand, she flicked through the page, and started writing,
What am I going to do now?, she questioned herself,
After thinking about the question, a thing crossed her mind,
Oulong
She wrote this in diary and made her way towards the exit.
It was night once again, city shined once again, Jiang li stood in front of the full body mirror, examining her clothes, she wore a grey top with multiple types of fabric on it, and a full sized plane comfy goth lower. She checked her climber bag, all the things were present, finally putting on a mask on herself, she strode out.
Lights were off, she felt her nerves relaxe upon feeling no human presence within her view, and carefully stepped her way out of the place, outside stood many guards, strong and bulky carefully placed at the entrance, she glanced around yet found nothing that could help her in that situation,
She stepped back inside the mansion, glanced outside in desperation, but then suddenly she heard a commotion, a fire had broken out in the backyard, the guards ran to protect the garden, finding it to be the perfect opportunity to flee, she ran towards the entrance gate only to find the security guard over there.
She halted and approached the guard, he was drifting off; slow-paced, lightly and meticulously she took her steps forward and ran.
She was standing at the streets now, and took out her phone from her lower pocket,
2 in the night,
The streets were empty, and oulong was not near,
She tapped her phone onto her hand with a troublesome expression, and walked some distance,
It was somewhere here, she glanced around to spot the scooter over by the restaurant, it was parked, she ran towards it and checked the scooter, it was locked, assured she took out keys from her pocket and drove off.
She passed by the name board upon which was written the oulong,
Views were changed, tall buildings were no longer in the view but large residences instead, they were tall, mighty and modern.
She stopped her scooter infront of a building, and went for the entrance, filled in the passcode and glanced around before heading in, noting that no human presence was there to notice her actions.
Lu yu sheng was sitting on his bed, staring at his bedside table upon which were placed some medicine, he kept tapping on the table thinking something until he heard a voice, clearly of a vehicle.
He stood by the side of the window and gazed downwards, a white scooter came speeding and stopped infront of the residence across the street, a woman wearing shady clothes could be seen stepping towards the house facing him, her face was not visible, movements were swift and experienced, but she was mysterious, under wraps, he saw her keying the passcode, and entering.
An intruder?
He couldn't reason with the possibility that crossed his mind,
How did she know the passcode?
Her actions alone making him question the possibility,
Shortly thereafter, the room opposing him lightened, the brightness was clear, he couldn't see her thoroughly, but knew she was there.
The lights were on for a long time,
Is she stealing?
He kept looking at the room, after some brief moments, the lights were turned off.
He diverted his attention to the entrance of the house, she came shutting the door behind her, her hands were empty holding nothing precious, her bag was still the same, identical to the size of her bag when she came.
She started her scooter and looked at his direction, in his room, the only visible source of light was the bedside lamp making it difficult to distinguish from the outside, especially from the place where she was.
He promptly hid behind the wall upon realising her actions, and then he heard the familiar scooter voice once again.
He again looked down confirming that she was gone.
Not a thief, then who was she?
Next day, he was called up by the police,
"Hello, is this lu yu sheng" the person on the other side questioned,
"Yes, I am"
"We have found some clues regarding miss Qin yanli, and you have to come to the City's center hotel for inquiry"
The cop on the other side hung up the phone.
He entered the hotel, this time the hotel was not pressured by the media, since many days have passed, he headed towards the waiting area, only to spot out other people there, beside him many more people were there, he stood beside a man,
"You don't look good" the man beside him raised his concern, lu yusheng scanned him,
"You don't look fine either" he stated.
His eyes were drifting as if they were in search of something until they landed on Jiang li.
