I'm Not the Young Lady's Dream Girl - [Vol. 2] Chapter 20
[Vol. 2] Chapter 20: Vanishing Objects
After the first rays of morning sunlight shone into the room, Yinyue woke up from her drowsy sleep. Looking at Yuluo still sleeping, Yinyue couldn’t help but have the mischievous idea.
“My dear Miss, hasn’t anyone told you that the way you sleep makes people want to play a little prank on you?”
Yinyue slowly reached out her right hand, preparing to play a prank on the sleeping Yuluo. However, at that moment, Yinyue’s hand was grabbed by Yuluo instead.
“Huh!”
This was completely unexpected. She had planned to tease the young lady, but she ended up being caught instead.
“Miss,” Yinyue called out softly.
No response? It seems the young lady is still asleep. This must be a coincidence.
But just because the young lady caught her right hand, did it mean she had no other options? As a fully functional human being, she has two hands.
Yinyue reached out her left hand, but the next moment, even her left hand was caught. Yinyue deeply realized that there are limits to what one can do.
“Miss, you’re actually awake, aren’t you?” Yinyue said to Yuluo again.
The first time could have been a coincidence, but this is the second time. It’s impossible for it to be a coincidence again. So, there’s only one truth: the young lady is actually awake.
“Looks like Sister Yueyue guessed it,” Yuluo said as she opened her eyes and locked gazes with Yinyue.
“Um… Miss, can you let go of my hand?” Yinyue asked.
Since the young lady was already awake, she should go prepare breakfast.
“Nope, Sister Yueyue, you said it yourself. Naughty children need to be punished.” The most skilled hunters often disguise themselves as prey.
“I…” Yinyue was speechless. Damn, she shouldn’t have been so foolish.
“So, Sister Yueyue, are you ready to accept your punishment?”
Yuluo pressed closer to Yinyue, taking advantage of Yinyue momentary lack of reaction to pin her down.
“Huh, Miss, you’re not serious, are you?”
Yinyue panicked, thinking the young lady was just joking, but she didn’t expect her to be serious.
“Why not? Sister Yueyue, naughty deeds need punishment,” Yuluo said with a smile.
“W-Wait a minute!” Yinyue exclaimed, but once in Yuluo’s grasp, she couldn’t escape.
About an hour later, Yinyue opened the door and stepped out.
“Phew.”
Thankfully, the young lady, who had lost her memory, wasn’t as dominant as before. Otherwise, Yinyue wouldn’t have been able to handle that onslaught just now.
Yinyue walked down the stairs, and at that moment, Xueluo was sitting on the sofa, staring at the TV screen with a serious expression.
“What are you watching, Second Miss?”
Yinyue walked over and saw that the news related to the Xiao Group was playing on the screen.
The news was probably about Yuluo’s disappearance and Xueluo’s “death.” So now the Xiao Group would be managed by Xiao Xuan.
No wonder the Second Miss looked like that. If someone took away things from her family, how could she not be angry?
…………
At this moment, in the office of the Xiao Group, Xiao Xuan was sitting in the chairman’s chair, a sense of power and authority enveloping him.
The two nieces weren’t qualified to fight against him, but he had at least brought their family back together, even if his methods were a bit rough.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door, breaking the silence of the room.
“Come in,” Xiao Xuan said, shaking the teacup in his hand towards the person outside.
After receiving permission, the man in black opened the door and came in front of Xiao Xuan.
“Have you found them?” Xiao Xuan put down the teacup and asked the man in black.
“Sorry, it seems they anticipated our actions in advance and now we don’t know their whereabouts,” the man said.
“Never mind, without the Shadow Guards of Xiao Yuluo, there’s nothing to fear. Besides, I don’t have time to waste on a bunch of small fries right now,” Xiao Xuan replied.
“How are things going with the Lin family?” Xiao Xuan asked again.
“They encountered an accident. The most important experimental specimen is missing,” the man replied.
“Hmph.”
Those people are indeed unreliable. Well, he didn’t expect them to be of much help anyway. In the end, one must rely on oneself.
Xiao Xuan stood up. His ultimate weapon was almost ready, and now he just needed one more crucial thing: the S-grade psychic crystal stored in the safe.
“Let’s go, come with me to the safe. We need to get something,” Xiao Xuan said, getting up and heading towards the safe.
“Yes,” the man followed closely behind.
After a while, they arrived at their destination, where a circular large safe was mounted on the wall.
This is Xiao Group’s special anti-tamper safe to store Xiao Group’s most valuable item. Even an S-class ability user won’t be able to crack it open.
With a pleased expression, Xiao Xuan approached the safe. It had been a long time coming, but finally, he could have his wish fulfilled. Once that weapon is built, he can become the supreme leader of the Xiao family.
However, Xiao Xuan’s ambitions were clearly not limited to this. After gaining immense power, human nature often starts to become twisted. For a brief moment, Xiao Xuan wanted to rule a country.
He prepared to open the safe, only to see the system scanning it.
“Identity confirmed, Xiao Xuan, Chairman of the Xiao Group. Opening the safe for you.”
After a loud noise, the door of the safe slowly opened, filling Xiao Xuan with excitement.
Finally, the moment had arrived.
All the effort he had put in was not in vain. From now on, he will be the man standing at the pinnacle of this world, Xiao Xuan couldn’t help but laugh.
“Is this the thing you wanted to get, sir?”
The man in black was disbelief, expecting something of immeasurable value.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan turned to look at the safe, unable to believe what he saw.
“How… How is this possible?”
To their surprise, inside the safe was not the S-grade psychic crystal they were after.
Instead, it was filled with a stack of photos of Yinyue, along with pillows featuring Yinyue’s face as well as Yinyue figurines in various sizes. Additionally, there are everyday items like cups, shirts, and so on, all of which have Yinyue’s face on them.
“These must be illusions. The S-grade crystal must be hidden inside.”
“Get everything out of there for me!” Xiao Xuan shouted.
The man in black had no choice but to comply, moving the items out of the safe one by one. The safe was quite large, it must be said. It took the man several minutes to finally clear out everything inside.
“This is impossible! Where did my thing go?”
Xiao Xuan looked at the empty safe, furious. Why wasn’t the S-grade crystal there? Without it, how could he activate the ultimate weapon?
…………
Meanwhile, Xiao Chun was holding a piece of paper, calculating the items taken out of the group. Beside her, Wei’er was playing with a golden crystal.
“It seems like everything except what’s in the safe has been moved out. After all, we can’t open it.”
“Xiao Chun, what do you think is inside that safe?” Wei’er asked Xiao Chun, who was standing beside her.
“That’s no ordinary safe. It must contain something important, like company secrets or valuable treasures. No one knows what’s inside, not even the second Miss, only the eldest Miss knows.”
“By the way, Xiao Chun, when are we leaving for Huihuang City?”
“Let’s start tomorrow,” Xiao Chun replied, putting away the paper.
“Great!”
They should be able to see the young lady and others tomorrow.
