Lu Yeming glanced at Mu Yanyan and said warmly, "Hello, Miss Mu."

Mu Yanyan's little face was flushed. "I came here to have dinner with a friend and saw you. President Lu came here with… Miss Jun?"

Lu Yeming nodded before suddenly changing the subject. "Miss Mu, is your sister still well?"

Mu Yanyan's eyes flashed at the mention of her sister. She noticed that he was looking at her with traces of amusement and arrogant judgment. His gaze was exceptionally sharp.

It was apparent that the topic made her uncomfortable. Although she wanted to evade the question, Mu Yanyan bravely met Lu Yeming's eyes. "Since that incident six years ago, my sister…"

Mu Yanyan was about to continue when the two bodyguards hurried over and reported in a low voice. "Your Majesty, bad news. Miss Jun has disappeared."

What?

Lu Yeming's face turned black as coal. He got up to leave, reaching out for his coat and shrugging it on.

"President Lu, where are you going? Wait for me." Mu Yanyan chased after him.

Large strides brought him to the exit of the restaurant and Fan Men immediately went up to him. "Your Highness, we have checked the restaurant's surveillance cameras and don't see Miss Jun anywhere at all. It's like she has disappeared into thin air."

"Go and check the road surveillance cameras. Unless she has turned into smoke, we must find her even if we have to turn the entire Country A upside down!"

Lu Yeming's lips were pressed into a cold, thin line. His long, lean physique melded into the dark night.

"Yes, Your Highness. I will do so immediately." Fan Men turned to leave.

Mu Yanyan gasped at this moment. She covered her mouth in shock. "President Lu, why did Miss Jun suddenly disappear? Could she have found out about the jade pendant? Could she have found out about her own birth history…"

Lu Yeming shot her a terrifying glare the moment Mu Yanyan spoke those words.

Mu Yanyan didn't dare to continue speaking.

At this moment, Fan Men said in a low voice, "My Lord, could Miss Jun have already met up with her brother, Dongfang Yu?"

"Ha." Lu Yeming gave a low laugh. "They are not that quick." With that, Lu Yeming boarded his bulletproof luxury car.

"President Lu, wait for me. I can come along with you in the car. Please take me along." Mu Yanyan looked at Lu Yeming hopefully.

But Lu Yeming remained expressionless. Without even sparing a single glance at Mu Yanyan, he ordered in a low voice. "Drive."

The car sped off.

…

As the car drove, Lu Yeming lifted his eyes where he could still see Mu Yanyan in the rearview mirror. The woman was still standing there watching the car, as if bidding him farewell.

Lu Yeming's deep eyes quivered before he slowly shut his lids.

He replayed today's events in his mind.

"Your Highness, here is the surveillance footage for the road. But it is very strange. Why are there no traces of Miss Jun on them either?"

Fan Men was increasingly suspicious. "How did Miss Jun escape? The whole thing lasted only about ten minutes. How did she disappear so completely?"

Lu Yeming suddenly opened his eyes. "Stop the car!"

The brakes screeched as the car came to an emergency stop.

"Your Highness, what's the matter?"

Now, Lu Yeming's eyes surged with emotion and he spat out, "Turn the car around!"

The luxury car sped back toward the restaurant. When Lu Yeming threw open the door, and looked around the spot where 'Mu Yanyan' had been standing. Under the bright street lights, there were pedestrians everywhere but no sign of 'Mu Yanyan'.

'Mu Yanyan' had already left.

"Your Highness, what are you looking at?" Fan Men didn't understand.

Instead of responding, Lu Yeming took out his cell phone and dialled a number. "Hello Leader Mu, where is your daughter, Mu Yanyan?"

Leader Mu replied, "President Lu, my daughter is at home. She has been home all this while. Are you looking for her? I will get her to come to the phone… Yanyan, Yanyan!"

Within seconds, Leader Mu called out heartily but was only met by a beeping tone, indicating that Lu Yeming had already hung up.

Fan Men understood fully now. The 'Mu Yanyan' just now was actually… Miss Jun. No wonder they couldn't detect Ms Jun on the surveillance cameras.

It had been Miss Jun all along.

This Miss Jun…

It was the perfect switch. She had been quiet all day, subtly making everyone let down their guard. She had come for dinner with no hints of what she was going to do at all. Not only that, she had also weasled out information on her own background. She now knew that she had a brother, Dongfang Yu.

Fan Men broke out in cold sweat at the thought of this Jun Xiqing. She was truly the smartest girl he had ever met. One-of-a-kind.

"Your Highness…"

Lu Yeming clenched his fists as the veins on his forehead throbbed in vexation. With his eyes closed, the image of her standing there watching his car depart filled his mind.

She had left.

Without any parting words. She had left in the guise of that insignificant 'Mu Yanyan'. She didn't say a single word on what would happen between the two of them.

He knew that by leaving like that, it meant that her feelings for him were also gone.

She had always been a courageous girl. In that earlier act of hers, she had clearly known nothing about Mu Yanyan's sister, but still managed to put up a convincing performance.

Like that, she had successfully deceived him.

This was the first time in Lu Yeming's life that he had lost to a woman.

Bang! A dustbin was kicked to the side from his anger He exuded a thick and deadly murderous vibe. It was murderous.

Two minutes later, Lu Yeming slowly opened his bloodshot eyes, which were now cold and bottomless.

He said in a perfectly placid voice, "From now on, seal off the entire city. Do not allow a single person to leave. This is Country A and I want to clip her wings to the point that she cannot fly. Move Mu Yanyan into the Peacock Terrace and lure Dongfang Yu over. I won't let those siblings meet each other that easily. After I capture Dongfang Yu, she will definitely return to my side."

Fan Men replied, "Yes, Your Highness. What happens if the two of them successfully escape?"

Lu Yeming smirked. "With Mu Yutang here, where else would Dongfang Yu run to?"

…

Nightfall.

With a wave of her hand, Mu Yanyan's little face immediately vanished to reveal Jun Xiqing's own exquisite features.

She was now in an apartment and had just taken off her high heels, planting her snow-white feet on the clean floor. She took off her dress and stood under the shower.

The warm water sprayed down from the top of her head, cleaning her thoroughly. She rubbed her face with her hands, peering over them with bright eyes.
