  On arriving home at the Gu residence, Chu He walked up to the front door, only to find it locked.

  ???

  Why was the door locked?

  Generally speaking, the Gu family residence’s front door would be kept open even late at night. Moreover, it was guarded round the clock by the Gu family’s guards. Now that the door was locked, Chu He was puzzled. She knocked.

  She waited for some time but no one opened it. Then she lost her patience and gave the door a hard kick. It responded with a loud boom!

  Footsteps could be heard behind the door.

  Chu He crossed her arms and waited for someone to open the door. However, a voice from behind the door said, “Is that Big Sister Chu?”


  Everyone in the Gu family called Chu He “Big Sister Chu”. It was not because of anything else other than the extraordinarily majestic aura that surrounded her, even when she did nothing but stand there. She was once the highest ranking anti-vice inspector at the Interpol. After many years of holding that status, her presence was not something an ordinary person could compare to.

  Chu He said, “It’s me, open the door!”


  “Sorry, I can’t open the door for you!” the person inside said gloomily.

  Chu He’s eyes darkened. “Why not?”


  The subordinate said fearfully, “This is Old Master’s order.”


  “What kind of rubbish order is this?!” It was late at night, and he was keeping her locked out of the house? What was the meaning of this? Did he want her to sleep on the streets?!

  Gu Jinglian…


  Chu He gritted her teeth in anger!

  What was wrong with this man?!

  Chu He kicked the door impatiently and ordered coldly, “Open the door!”


  “I can’t open it… This is Old Master’s order…”


  Before she could finish his sentence, Chu He took half a step back and kicked the locked door open! She walked in and saw her subordinates staring at her in disbelief, their eyes wide open in fear!

  This door was heavily guarded and extremely secure. She actually broke it down with one kick!

  How strong!

  “Big Sister Chu…”


  Chu He stepped forward and grabbed the collar of one of the subordinates. She shouted angrily, “Why did you lock the door?! Did Gu Jinglian ask you to lock it?!”


  “It’s… it’s… it’s Old Master’s order…”


  Chu He let go of him and walked upstairs.

  Passing through the long corridor, she went up the stairs and marched up to Gu Jinglian’s door. She pushed it open. In the study room of the bedroom, Gu Jinglian was sitting on the sofa in a bathrobe, looking at the accounts. She did not know how long he had been sitting there. With an icy expression on his face, he did not even turn back.

  His frosty voice froze the air in the room. “Who allowed you to come in?”


  Chu He strode towards him and said angrily, “Gu Jinglian, what’s wrong with you?!”


  Gu Jinglian questioned expressionlessly, “Why are you back so late?”


  “…”


  Chu He narrowed her eyes in confusion. She was not aware that he had even set a time for her to go home!

  “I recall telling you before I left that I’d be back a little late.”


  In other words, she had already informed him, hence there was no need for him to be calculative down to the second!

  Gu Jinglian finally looked up. He glanced at her coldly and said in no uncertain terms, “I never allowed you to come home this late.”


  Chu He was even more puzzled. “When did you say that?”


  The man replied, “Now.”


  “…”


  He could have said it earlier!

  “It’s the middle of the night, so don’t go crazy right now!”
