Xiao Bao did not choose to dig deeper but rushed back while there was still time. Although he was a person who was used to slacking off during working hours, it was only his habit. When he was needed, he must be there. It was a matter of principle.

After drinking several cans of energy drink in a stretch, the result was that his stomach was convulsed and was continually protesting him through making him uncomfortable.

When Xiao Bao turned on the screen again, he did not see Qian Xiu this time. He left in a hurry last night. So, the game just disconnected before he managed to shut down the computer.

“He wasn’t offline?” Xiao Bao glanced at Qian Xiu’s portrait but thought that he walked away since he did not go offline. That would mean that… What he did all night was ignored.

It seemed that she was continuously contacting him the whole time.

Xiao Bao, ‘What’s the urgent matter that you need to look for me for?”

Thousand Delicate Feathers, “Are you with Qian Xiu now?”

Xiao Bao thought for a while, “Did you watch the video link I sent you? Have you watched it?”

Xiao Bao told Thousand Delicate Feathers about how he found Qian Xiu and finally continued, Now, it would be difficult for us to see him. He did not think he Qian Xiu would come to this town again.

Thousand Delicate Feathers, “Is his character still there?”

Xiao Bao, “He’s always online. Anyway, as long as I’m online, he must be there. In other words, I’ve never seen him going offline in front of me. It’s a catastrophe!”

Thousand Delicate Feathers, “I just need to tell him one thing personally! You tell him that I just want to tell him about one matter. If I told him and he still insists, then I will never look for him again! So, please help me!”

Xiao Bao, “Okay… I always feel that Boss is in a bad state.”

System announcement, “Thousand Delicate Feathers has given you one million diamonds.”

Xiao Bao blinked, and calculated the ratio of diamonds to cash with his fingers, and almost fell off from his chair – Oh my! She just gave away a total value of one hundred thousand yuan!

System announcement, “Xiao Bao, the milk god, had rejected your gift. One million diamonds have been returned to your account.”

Thousand Delicate Feathers, “You are a good person. Xiao Bao. It is wonderful that Blue Sky can meet you.”

Xiao Bao, “Oh, my heart is bleeding already. Please don’t say anymore…”

After Xiao Bao had this short casual conversation with this Thousand Delicate Feathers, he could not take it anymore and planned to take a quick nap.

As for the real-life Lan Xiu, he neither mentioned it, nor did he ask this Thousand Delicate Feathers if she knew about him, let alone ask her about her past.

It was evening, about nine o’clock, at the Lan’s Group building.

A woman of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old walked out of the elevator and walked straight to Lan Kai’s office all the way. As the head of the group, Lan Kai would naturally have not only just one personal secretary. Usually, there would be two secretaries outside of the office that would be handling outside matters.

The secretary sitting on the reception desk in front of the office saw the woman coming and quickly stood up to greet her, “Miss Xin Yue!”

“Okay, I’ll go in and see him.” Miss Xinyue nodded. “It’s already late. You should probably leave work.”

The reception secretary hesitated and said, “But, President Lan is still inside…”

“You’re welcome.”

Miss Xin Yue pushed the door of the office open and walked into the office. She looked around and saw Lan Kai laid on the sofa at this time. He had been taken off his coat, his tie was casually torn open, his face flushed, and a breath of alcohol came straight from his face.

“Why did you drink so much?” Miss Xin Yue quickly walked to the sofa and squatted down, touched Lan Kai’s forehead, and whispered, “Lan Kai, are you okay?”

Xin Yue shook her head and carried Lan Kai. At the same time, she sat down, put Lan Kai’s head lightly on her thigh, and spread layers of wet tissues on his forehead, ” Are you feeling better now?”

“I am okay.” Lan Kai hammered his forehead. “I’m sorry for letting you see me like this… You must be very disappointed, right?”

“Something on your mind?” Xin Yue combed Lan Kai’s hair softly. “You never get yourself drunk like this. You said before that in this battle, people who got drunk are likely to fail.”
