Chapter 1 A Shameless Boyfriend!
Chapter 1 A Shameless Boyfriend!
At KELOO, a five-star hotel of N City.
"Come with me and catch him." Cherry Mo quickly showed the photo to Mino Xu.
In the photo, there was a fat and balding middle-aged man. He had a gold chain around his neck,
similar to what they used as a dog collar.
Mino Xu's face contorted into disgust. "Who is he?"
She'd just been dragged all the way to the hotel for Cherry Mo to show her the picture. However, even
then, Mino Xu couldn't help but notice the restlessness in Cherry's eyes when she showed it to her.
"John – my new boyfriend. He plays around with some model – younger than him no less!"
She then showed Mino another picture. Dressed in a Chinese Cheongsam, Cherry looked absolutely
seductive. Her figure was proudly enveloped, which was attractive to any man. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
She grabbed a hold of Mino's hand as pleading, "I know this is dangerous, but please? We've been
best friends since forever!"
"Let me go!" Mino shook her hand from her grasps.
"It is the eighth time this year you've asked me to catch your boyfriend who's cheating on you! I mean,
didn't we just celebrate New Year's Eve seven weeks ago? I don't this becomes my weekly routine!"
Mino complained, looking nothing more than a grumpy child.
"It's not like I have a choice!" Cherry protested, her voice filled with sentimentality.
"Please? Do you really want me to be hurt by another guy? I'll lose my trust in love at this time!"
"It's not about that!" Mino argued. She still had a bit of baby fat in her cheeks, but under the moonlight,
she was stunning herself.
Taking a deep breath, she felt as if she was going to tell her friend what she had explained countless of
times when it was spiraling down to this.
"You keep dating all those middle-aged men. Cherry, they could be as old as your Dad! How do you
think your mother's feeling about this?"
"But look at how generous they are! Plus their break-up fees aren't that bad either," Cherry snapped
back, motioning to the designer bag that she was sporting.
"At least take care of yourself! You know how men are, especially those old enough." Seeing as beating
around the bush wouldn't work, Milo might as well tell her straight off.
"John has an erectile problem." Cherry winked.
"I'm not talking about that!" Couldn't she see the point she was trying to make? Mino ran her fingers
down her hair, frustration evident in her face.
"I'll pay you! One percent of my break-up fees?" Cherry suggested, taking out a room key.
"You know what? Go ahead." Mino grumpily took the lead, knowing that she was going nowhere if she
continued talking to Cherry.
At that moment, the luxurious LED screen displayed the cocktail party being hosted by the KELOO
hotel. However, it was just interrupted by regular news.
It was the wealthiest and high-class hotel across the N City. Usual crime news wasn't normally
displayed upon the screen.
With the cut, everyone looked at the screen in disbelief, trying to see what the fuss was about. Cherry
and Mino, however, were too busy getting into the elevator.
"Last week in Las Vegas, the Clow Family was stolen. With tight monitoring and security network, the
thieves managed to get through in less than two minutes!
This video would show the events that had transpired that night. The Clow Villa is equipped with the
most intelligent surveillance system.
However, the power was cut out coincidentally. With this, once the power returned a few seconds later,
the Heart of First Snowflakes and the thief were nowhere to be seen!" The news showed the various
events as the audience gasped in disbelief.
"No one can explain how this had happened.
Although nobody got a good look at the thief, there were some who said that it was the young girl –
Angie, the infamous robber.
The Heart of First Snowflakes of the Clow Family is a national treasure. In fact, it's linked with the Heart
of Lost Love from the Yuan Family, another priceless piece.
Some have said that Angie would be aiming for the Yuan Family next! Just at this time, Ryan, a
member of the Yuan Family, was a guest under the Clow's Villa."
The people around the lobby held their breath. They watched the Cable News as if they were watching
their favorite drama.
Just then, a tall man stepped into the screen. His facial features were very angular as his eyes were
dark and deep. He wasn't affected amidst the flustered crowd as he stared into the camera.
"If you dare touch our piece, that would be the worst mistake of your life, Miss Angie."
No one could hear what the broadcaster said next as the lobby erupted with a flurry of gossip among
the audience.
A woman from Chanel turned to one of her co-workers. "Is he Ryan? He never accepted any invitation
to visit our country. Who knew he'd be so handsome?"
"The Yuan Family monopolizes the property and finance market. They're practically invincible! Plus, Mr.
Ryan's now the head of their transportation industry, but he's so private. If the thief didn't visit the Clow
Family, the media wouldn't even have pictures of him."
"God bless that robber then. Maybe then, we'll see Mr. Ryan on screen." A woman winked.
The hall was already filled with so much gossip.
"You think I'll be able to see him when I go to Vegas? I'll be sure to check where he went!"
With all this clutter, no one bothered to listen to the policemen's pleas for help on the case.
On the other side of the building, the elevator stopped at the eighteenth floor. It was one of the most
luxurious floors of the entire hotel.
Mino didn't hear the news. She stopped at 1808 and swiped the card, furrowing her eyebrows when it
didn't work.
"Stay away or you'll be dead on the spot!" she yelled.
With a click, the door opened.
Mino was holding her very own weapon – an anti-seismic camera. Her sweet and delicate face turned
murderous in an instant.
She was a professional woman. In fact, all the victims she held always paid their price in the end.
She kicked the door open.
Being quite familiar with the scene, Milo wasted no time in taking pictures.
There was no need to see the main act. He must've been acting foolishly. With balding hair and a
trembling face, the man must look awful.
"You have the right to remain silent, John, but you'll pay the price whether you like it or not!" she yelled
out unbelievingly.
"Miss, you recognized the wrong person." A cold and deep voice echoed in the room.
Although it was soft, it sounded as if it could control the whole crowd.
'What?' It was different from the usual begging she'd hear from a 'culprit'!
"Ah! Who's that?" Before she could see who it was, someone yelled out, "Ryan, who's that? I'm so
scared!"
Mino furrowed her eyebrows at the sound. This wasn't in accordance with her plan in the first place.
'Isn't she the popular actress, Betty Chu?' She was the youngest daughter of the Chu Family, and a
beauty queen and had been in many movies. Never did Mino expect that John would mix himself with
the likes of her!
Mino took up the camera again.
However, just when she did that, Betty Chu was already terribly enthusiastic, posing in front of the lens
that Mino was scared that she'd take the camera from her and take a photo of herself in the process.
At last Betty Chu even threw herself onto the bed! With a loud bang,
Betty was pushed out of the cushions!
…… Mino blinked.
"Stop your acting and get out!" The cold voice sounded very demanding.
"Acting?" In her 17 years of doing this, Mino had never met such a domineering man.
"Shut up, old man! Listen, no one is playing with you today. If you don't pay up a million, I'll ruin you."
"Hey! Reporter! You... Did you make a mistake?"
Betty furrowed her eyebrows at her lines.
"Take it wrong? How could I get it wrong?" Hearing that she denied it, Mino was growing very worried.
"Is it not John under the quilt?" she demanded. "Facts tell the truth!"
With a camera in hand, Mino rushed over to the bed.
What happened just now was going to be engraved in history. No one would know that this petite girl
could detour Betty in a second, and her motion was so fast that no one could see clearly. She suddenly
pulled away the quilt and pointed at him!
"For sure! You're John all right!"
Time froze. Ryan Yuan looked at Mino's fluffy head. Her skin was not made up but as white as
transparent, and her amber colored eyes were without any impurity. Her hand was poking his nose, just
like a righteous citizen catching hypocrisy red-handed.
They stared at each other.
