My Beloved

"He didn\'t. He said that we would find out after coming here. Did something happen?"

Chief Li disclosed, "Noah and his team members were attacked last night. Two of them were injured and were sent to a secret hospital for treatment. Others went on hiding."

Han Luo was surprised. \'Why didn\'t I notice anything when Noah called me? His voice was so natural. He kept everything a secret.\'

"Why all of a sudden?" she inquired. 

"Yesterday, when the attack took place, the drug dealers already found out who was working to take them down. They got Noah\'s identity and tried to eliminate them all."

After a pause, Chief Li continued, "Even the higher-ups are bugging me to give this drug case to another team."

"So, they want a corrupt team to take the lead. This won\'t get anywhere if that happens." Han Luo clenched her fists. "Are… they all right? Noah\'s team I mean."

Chief Li answered, "Yes, apparently they are pissed off and working their butt off to take down the criminals."

He added, "There is something else I want to share. In the morning, the Prime Minister called me and gave me a piece of grave news. His son is drug-addicted. It\'s the same drug we are looking for."

Han Luo and Tang Yujin were startled. 

Tang Yujin already started calculating in his head.

\'Although I thought upper levels are getting addicted, I didn\'t think Prime Minister\'s son would be one of them. No, I should have thought that way. He may not be the head of a country, but he has a good connection in the rich kids\' circle. This is bad. Just how many people are addicted in China right now?\'

Chief Li observed his reaction and was satisfied. 

"I see you can picture the whole scenario. After Officer Zheng\'s death, the drug spread all over the country and there is no stopping it. 

"The only reason the Prime Minister asked for my help is because the media is about to find out about his son\'s wrongdoings. The Prime Minister cannot take the risk because he has an election next month."

Han Luo felt a bitter taste in her mouth. The food didn\'t taste delicious anymore.

"So, he needs a good incident to back him up for the upcoming election. How selfish of him." 

Chief Li chuckled. "I\'m asking you on his behalf to help us. You also want the criminals to be punished, right?" 

He shoved two white envelopes toward them. 

"I only want to punish my mother\'s actual murderer. Nothing more."

Han Luo\'s answer was sharp. She put down her chopsticks and took one of the envelopes. 

Inside the envelope, she found a golden-colored ticket. 

It was an invitation card to join an evening party in the Han Family\'s Main House, Shanghai.

\'I cannot believe that what I wished for came to me for free without me looking for it. Even God is by my side.\'

Han Luo pressed the ticket tightly as she read what was written on the ticket.

Chief Li gave them a short briefing. 

"The party is tonight. You will be taken to a secret hideout of the Prime Minister. His son and his girlfriend are there. Noah and his team are waiting for you there as well.

"You will go to the party on behalf of the Prime Minister\'s son and his girlfriend. In the hideout, you will disguise yourself and then you will be taken to Shanghai from there. The Prime Minister has already managed a helicopter for you."

"But why us?" Tang Yujin asked him. "Why don\'t you ask trained officers or detectives. I\'m sure they will do better than us."

"That\'s because you know all the nooks and crannies of that mansion. That house is huge. I cannot send a pair who knows nothing and come out empty-handed. We don\'t have enough time to delay." 

Chief Li\'s response was reasonable. Han Luo and Tang Yujin agreed to work with him.

----------

"I\'m nervous." Han Luo touched her bosom.

Tang Yujin gently patted her back.

"We are already here. Take a deep breath. We don\'t want others to be suspicious now, do we?"

They were in the Han Family\'s main house in disguise. At first, the lavish party almost blinded them. Now, they were getting used to this.

"This dress is making me uncomfortable. Everyone is staring at me," Han Luo complained. She had a remorseful expression.

She was wrong about \'staring\'. Men were practically leering at her body. She felt naked in front of them.

Han Luo was wearing an A-Line V-neck floor-length chiffon evening dress with lace sequins split front. Her hair was tied like a bun. Her inviting cleavage and back were entirely open. 

Her smooth white skin was like a porcelain pot. No man could take away their lustful gaze from her.

Tang Yujin protectively placed his hand on her waist while offering her champagne. 

"It\'s a good thing Xiao Yuan isn\'t here or else he would kill them all."

At his joke, Han Luo giggled. She didn\'t feel nervous anymore. 

"True, but it\'s not possible though. Look at all the ministers and their companions. See these famous actors, actresses and producers? 

"No wonder the Secret Service couldn\'t go anywhere with the investigation. The drug dealers have all the powerful people in their hands."

"That\'s why we need to be careful," Tang Yujin reminded her.

It seemed the couple was famous. Everyone came to talk to Tang Yujin and Han Luo thinking he was the Prime Minister\'s son and she was his girlfriend. 

The drugs were being provided by the maids. The guests were even more delighted. 

The diamond-shaped drug was too addictive. The guests hurriedly took one of the drugs in their mouths. 

Tang Yujin and Han Luo excused themselves from others and went to a corner. He hugged her waist and pulled her closer. 

Her breasts were pressed against his chest. Her slender arms wrapped around his neck. Their faces were inches close. They could feel each other\'s warm breaths.

They pretended to take the drug in a dark corner.

Tang Yujin knew that she was only acting. Even so, her alluring face was too attractive. His heart skipped a beat. His eyes were fixed on her face, unable to look away.

Han Luo was feeling awkward. She wished Mo Yuan was here. Right now, Tang Yujin\'s feelings were so obvious that she wanted to hide herself in a hole and never face him again.

The duo had a hard time keeping their composure. At that time, Head Butler Qi Fei came to them.

"Young Master and Young Miss, please come this way. My Master has called for you."

He was polite and humble just like before.

Han Luo gulped. \'It\'s time. I\'ve been preparing for this day.\'

Tang Yujin squeezed Han Luo\'s waist before replying, "I see. Please show us the way."

Qi Fei bowed and escorted them inside. 

They were taken to where her grandfather, Han Wei Ning resided. This place was familiar to them. 

Han Luo pretended to look around the place.

\'I came here just yesterday but it feels like months have passed since I last came here,\' she thought.

Qi Fei opened the door and let them go inside.

Someone was already waiting for them.

"Good that you came. I was waiting for you," the person greeted them.

Han Luo\'s eyes widened in surprise. She was prepared for many things but she wasn\'t expecting this outcome.
