The reason why Qiao Qing chose to meet in the middle of the night was to hide it from Jun Yexuan and Qi Yusen. So naturally, she didn’t tell them about her midnight plans.

  Now that Jun Yexuan’s illness was cured, Qi Yusen had restored the old rules and Qiao Qing was now sleeping in her own room again. This was convenient.

  At night.

  To try and capture the prey, Jun Yexuan and Qi Yusen left early to get to their destination.

  Qiao Qing only got up when it was close to the meeting time.

  After the alarm went off, she got out of bed and washed up.

  During this time, Lang Yin got in through the window and placed the pre-prepared set of clothes on the table.

  Qiao Qing washed up and changed.

  After around 10 minutes, the young woman in her sleeping gown turned into a young man.

  The shoes were specially made black leather shoes. The tailored black pants complemented her straight and long legs.

  On top, the black dress shirt was buttoned up until the highest two buttons, sending both mysterious and alluring vibes. The shirt was tucked into the dress pants and the gold belt she wore was the only item that had color.

  Due to all her clothes being black, Lang Yin decided to give her a brunette wig. This color of the hair allowed Qiao Qing’s already pale skin to stand out even more.

  After she was done, Qiao Qing checked herself out in the mirror and was a little stunned.

  Then, she looked out the window.

  This glare from her made Lang Yin, who was outside the window, tremble. He shook and said weakly, “It’s… it’s a couple’s costume with… with third young master Jun.”


  Qiao Qing, “…”


  Speechless, she decided not to comment. After all, dressed up in black was good for a night mission.

  She tucked her gun into her belt and placed her hands in her pockets, “Let’s go.”


  At the west side of the city, Shallow Water Bay.

  The night was quiet, and the place was empty.

  Jun Yexuan, Qi Yusen, and Mu Jinghang hid within a 24-hour coffee shop.

  There were currently no other customers. Other than themselves, there was just the male server behind the counter.

  Mu Jinghang stirred his coffee and said to the other two, “This area is pretty big. You think we can actually run into the person we’re looking for?”


  Jun Yexuan lifted his chin and pointed at the observation deck by the beach.

  “Normally, negotiations happen there. It’s still early. Let’s wait a bit.”


  Just then, the door to the coffee shop opened again.

  Everyone froze. Anyone who chooses to come here at this time was not here simply to get coffee.

  As they thought about it, they looked over to the newcomer.

  A man wearing a gold mask and a large trench coat walked in.

  The pattern carved onto the man’s mask surprised Qi Yusen and Jun Yexuan. The two exchanged glances and confirmed that they were thinking the same thing.

  A man wearing a mask in the Country of Summer…


  The server had fallen asleep behind the counter. When he heard the door, he jolted awake.

  The gold mask made him jump. Once his brain processed everything, he smiled, “Hello, what can I get for you?”


  As he asked, he checked out this strange man in front of him.

  Why did this guy look just like this country’s Duke?

  Or was this guy a fan who cosplayed their beloved Duke?

  As he wondered, Quan Zexi opened his lips, “I’ll have a cappuccino……”
