Chapter 20

Even though Qiao Anhao acted heartlessly in front of Zhao Meng, after her friend left, she hesitated a bit before driving out in her own car .

Xu Jiamu had once mentioned that Lu Jinnian had a private mansion in the northern side of the city on a mountain . Qiao Anhao had also gathered from Xu Jiamu that Lu Jinnian hated hospitals and would hide in that mansion whenever he was sick .

At that time, Xu Jiamu was just randomly complaining since Lu Jinnian was not willing to receive treatment despite being very ill . Many times, the person complaining has no ill intention, but at that time, Qiao Anhao had secretly shelved the information in her mind for future use .

Even though she wasn’t sure if he would be at the mansion, she still decided to try her luck .

She specifically stopped by a medical shop before going to the mansion . Since she wasn’t sure of his condition, she just randomly picked some fever medicine .

Qiao Anhao had never been to the mansion, but she vaguely remembered Xu Jiamu mention that the mansion was at the peak of the mountain called Yi mountain . Qiao Anhao set the GPS towards Yi mountain and realized it was indeed in the northern part of the city . She then started the engine and steered in that direction .

Thankfully, Yi mountain was not big and only had one mansion . Qiao Anhao drove to the peak, and there stood a lonely mansion, which most likely belonged to Lu Jinnian .

Qiao Anhao started out at 3 pm in the afternoon and by the time she reached Yi mountain, it was already 5pm in the evening .

She was just in time for the sunset . Reddish-gold rays spilled onto the mansion, giving it the vibe of a castle; it was both grand and beautiful .

The gates of the mansion were tightly shut . Qiao Anhao stopped her car before them and looked around . She spotted a fence that was rather low and went toward it, moving over it .

She didn’t have the keys to the mansion and no one received her when she knocked on the door . She peaked in through the windows but didn’t catch a glimpse of Lu Jinnian at all . Circling the perimeter of the mansion, she located a half-open full-length window at the back of the mansion . She hesitated for a bit before opening it fully and entering the mansion .

The mansion had a luxurious interior .

She walked through the whole first floor but still could not find Lu Jinnian . She then climbed up to the second floor, her footsteps being the only sound . The mansion would have been deathly silent if not for her walking around .

Qiao Anhao continued looking through the second floor, and only found Lu Jinnian at the end of the hallway in a big bedroom .

He was wearing a suit, and with his eyes shut, he lay silently on the bed . From afar, he seemed to be sound asleep .

Qiao Anhao lifted her hand, knocking on the door, but looking at the bed, she saw that Lu Jinnian remained motionless, without any reaction . She furrowed her brows, taking large strides towards the bed .
