Chapter 2: Smoke Bomb?

  Night falls, and the sky grows dark.

  However, the luxurious villa standing on the mountain top is brightly lit tonight, as if it were daytime. The twinkling stars adorn the sky, and the colorful lights outside the villa reflect each other, a prosperous and flourishing world.

  On the green lawn, guests held crystal high-footed cups, with fragrant clothes and shadows, toasting each other...

  Tonight was exceptionally lively, and the guests who had arrived couldn't help but gaze with curious and longing eyes at the black luxury car slowly driving up to the mansion.

  Because today, everyone present is looking forward to seeing the son of S City's richest man, the elegant and refined Han Shikai, as well as... another mysterious family that once dominated the business world but has been out of sight for a long time!

  This mysterious family, once glorious for a time, yet suddenly emigrated abroad as a whole twenty years ago. Even so, no one will forget the glory that this mysterious family created on this golden land!

  Xia ZiTong, as one of the many curious onlookers, was squeezed to the back by the crowd of guests. She retreated step by step, her mind in a mess, both curious and fearful, staring at the innocent eyes, looking at the black heads swaying in front of her...

  "It's Han Shikai! I saw him!!" someone shrieked.

  Xia Zhitong was startled and trembled for a moment, her teeth tightly biting her pale lips!

  Han Shikai is her target for tonight!

  She quickly hid the distinctive perfume in her hand into her pocket, weaving through the crowded throng, trying to tiptoe on her small feet, taking a glance at her target for tonight.

  But... she's not tall enough!

  "Excuse me, let me through!!" Her soft voice was quickly drowned out by the crowd...

  Even being trampled by a pair of sharp high heels, both feet were swollen and red.

  Until the crowd dispersed, she only vaguely saw a tall and handsome man's back, then in her daze, was pushed to the ground!

  "Ah......" She let out a miserable cry.

  Helplessly shaking her head, she could only quietly watch as the crowd surged forward, slowly dispersing from around her.

  "Are you okay?"

  Suddenly, a rich and magnetic voice came from behind her, followed by a pair of strong hands. Her peripheral vision caught sight of the man's large hands, with beautiful joints but slightly rough fingers. The fingertips lightly touched her shoulder, slowly lifting her up from the ground. Xia Zhitong instinctively shrunk back, warily turning her head to look at the man standing behind her.

  Her eyes trembled! Because...

  Xia's bright and clear eyes met a pair of sharp, knife-like eyes, which were as black as coal, yet seemed to hold a deep, immeasurable wisdom. They sparkled with kindness, but also seemed as cold and distant as an icy pool.

  "Thank you..."

  His arrogant figure gave her a strong sense of oppression, Xia Zhitong was like a small grass, his powerful aura made her inexplicably surge with a suffocating feeling.

  The man narrowed his deep and mysterious eyes, with thoughts in his eyes like the deep sea, revealing a mysterious color. His handsome face was like a fine carving, he lowered his head, intentionally aligning those inquiring eyes with her astonished and slightly blushing face.

  Xia Zhitong stared at the man's straight nose bridge, as if it was about to touch her own nose, and her breathing suddenly became rapid and disordered.

  The man looked at her expression, suddenly felt some meaning, but he didn't continue to gaze at her with the scorching eyes from just now. Instead, he stood up extremely elegantly, lightly patted his suit, and turned around to leave.

  Xia Zhitong, who had stood up, stared blankly at the man who was a head and a half taller than her. Under the night sky, he wore a black high-end suit with elegant tailoring, which perfectly complemented his mysterious and enchanting aura.

  Xia Zhitong pursed her lips and was just about to turn around when ——

  "Master Kai, it's getting late, Mr. Ji has been waiting for your arrival in the study." A servant of the manor said softly.

  Master Ke?

  Xia Zhitong's heart skipped a beat, his feet suddenly stopped moving, and the blood seemed to be drawn back, his face turned pale and trembling again.

  She silently turned around, looking at the man from just now, surrounded by a group of bodyguards, and under the leadership of the servant, entered the ancient castle through the side door.

  Xia Zhitong was somewhat at a loss for reaction.

  Could it be... that he is the real Han Shikai? Then who was the man just now? Was it all just a smokescreen to deceive people's ears?
