Somewhere in China.

6 pm.

The Zhao Shuxin and Yu Jin Yan had just arrived at the grand Zhao family mansion.

The mansion was still as beautiful and sparkly as it was when they left for London. The majestic of it was still the same as was the nostalgic feeling of being home as they walked through the entrance.

However, sometimes there was bound to be a change. A different thing for one to experience and that difference was what shocked and send a shudder to their bones.

All over the entrance, red notes were stuck on everything. Not including the walls, the furniture that was worth thousands of dollars, and adorning the entrance hall now had those red notes stuck randomly on each of the items.

From the chaise, mirrors, pots of plants, and carpet, to the chandeliers, doors, and even the shoe that was left untidy after someone came in a hurry and forget to take his shoe with him like Cinderella. All of it now was marred with red notes.

"Nanny Jang?" Zhao Shuxin felt perplexed at the scene before her and called out the maid.

Nanny Jang was the maid who took care of her after her mother died and has been with her since and even until now.

Zhao Shuxin treated the nanny like a family and would always give her bonuses and shower her with expensive gifts. After all, who else would be as loyal as Nanny Jang?

The nanny always followed her requests and orders without a question. When Zhao Shuxin orders her to put a cockroach or insects on Yan Xiaoran's food in the past, the nanny would do so and even do more that she would give her rotten meat. The nanny was among the bullies that made Yan Xiaoran's life miserable and the Zhao family was proud of her.

However, a family and even a tired master wouldn't tolerate any negligence from their servants. With all the mess in the entrance hall and the glaring red notes, Zhao Shuxin was growing irritated at the nanny.

"Nanny Jang! Where are you?!" Zhao Shuxin stomped her foot and walked to the living room, only to see the same red notes stuck on every furniture they could lay their eyes upon.

"What's happening? Why is there a lot of red things like this? Are we celebrating some kind of occasion today?" Yu Jin Yan asked but it wasn't pointed to anyone. She merely asked as she knew that Zhao Shuxin would be as clueless as she was.

And there should be no special occasion that day. No occasion would require the whole mansion to have red notes stuck everywhere. And the Zhao family was stricken with problems that day that no one would dare to throw a party nor attempt to celebrate an occasion.

Earlier that day, when Zhao Shuxin and Yu Jin Yan were still in London, they received countless calls and texts from the other Zhao family members. They were telling them to come home immediately and that there was a big problem that would render the Zhao family hopeless.

At first, the two of them didn't believe it and thought that there wouldn't be anything that could take down the Zhao family. They're wealthy Asians and owned several subsidiaries in the country so, what was the problem that made even her father call them back?

"Where's that old nanny?" Zhao Shuxin frowned, "No, where's everyone?" She finally noticed that there was no one inside the mansion no matter how much they called out for their names.

The red notes distracted them and they didn't notice that there was no one at home. But how can it be possible?

Pulling out her phone, Zhao Shuxin tried to call her father but no one answered. She tried to call her brother but it was still the same as the first call she did.

"Why don't we go to the company. Maybe they're just holding a meeting or a surprise party that we don't know." Yu Jin Yan suggested as there was no explanation for them to tell what was really going on.

"Alright." Zhao Shuxin readily agreed as she also wanted to know what dire 'problem' did their Zhao Enterprise was now facing and how much are they losing now.

She's the president of that company and yet, no one informed her.

Feeling annoyed at the secretary who should be contacting her to report to her on how the company was faring, Zhao Shuxin promised that she would slap the secretary so she would get her senses back before making her pack her things and fire her.

She doesn't need incompetent fools that waste her money. Zhao Shuxin thought as she went straight to the parking lot where all their cars should have been parked.

However, who would have known that every last one of their expensive and high-end cars was now missing from the parking lot and there was nothing left for them to take.

"F*ck! Did zombies invade China or what?! Why does our house look like it's an abandoned mansion and all the cars are missing?!" Zhao Shuxin almost threw her luggage to the ground.

Yu Jin Yan nodded in agreement and said, "I don't know why but there's definitely something going on here."

"Duh!" Zhao Shuxin scoffed and rolled her eyes at her, "Any fool would've known that already so, don't state the obvious."

Yu Jin Yan gritted her teeth, "Look who's talking. Aren't you asking where's everyone earlier?"

Zhao Shuxin glared daggers at her which Yu Jin Yan returned with the same intensity. They hated each other and that never changed but for better or worst, the two of them tolerated each other and somehow, they understood each other.

But of course, the two of them were the people who sent Yan Xiaoran to hell.

As the two continued to glare at each other, Zhao Shuxin's phone chimed. In haste, she fished it out of her bag and answered.

"Hello?" After a few seconds passed, Zhao Shuxin suddenly gasped and angrily said, "What do you mean by that?… Excuse me?! I'm the president of the Zhao Enterprise and I haven't heard of anyone taking it from me and I won't let that happen!"

Yu Jin Yan watched at the side and became anxious when Zhao Shuxin paled.

Zhao Shuxin continued but this time, she didn't raise her voice but softly said it like a whisper, "No. What do you mean by my Zhao family is ruined?"
