Even a crazed scientist had to eat sometimes, it seemed.
After Lu Qi left, Xinghe started unpacking. After she finished her nightly rituals and prepared to retire for the night, someone knocked on her door. Xinghe was confused by the mysterious knocker.
She opened her door and standing outside was a tall woman about her height. She was pretty, but her glaring eyes spoke more than enough of her intentions.
"Who are you looking for?" Xinghe asked softly.
The woman gave her a cold once-over and asked, "Are you Xia Xinghe? Lu Qi's assistant?"
Xinghe nodded while she was still confused about the woman's identity. She looked suspiciously familiar, like she had met her somewhere before.
The woman chuckled coldly when she saw Xinghe nod. "Xia Xinghe, we finally meet. The world is indeed small that we can meet under such circumstances."
"Who exactly are you?" Xinghe asked calmly. She was not unhinged by the woman aggressive demeanor.
