The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 368

After looking over the contract, Nan XiangWan rhythmically tapped a finger on the tabletop.

She was thinking about how to get Tan Shen into trouble in a legal and inconspicuous way.

Just as she was racking her brain but had no ideas, suddenly there was the sound of footsteps, and the next second the lights in the hallway turned on.

Nan XiangWan looked back over there, but what greeted her was a scream that reverberated throughout the entire company!

Cheng Xue: "Ah!!!"

Cheng Xue was really scared to death!

In the middle of the night, the pitch dark hallway had just turned on the lights, and the next second she saw someone sitting inside the dark resource room!

That person was even wearing a duck bill cap, looking like someone who had come to make trouble!

Cheng Xue was so frightened that she wanted to press the emergency alarm button on the spot!

At this moment, Nan XiangWan came out in time and pressed Cheng Xue’s hand: “What are you doing?”

Cheng Xue: "......"

Cheng Xue's eyeballs were about to pop out!

President Nan?

Why are you sneaking around the company resource room in the middle of the night?

So scary!

Nan XiangWan looked at her: "What are you doing in the company in the middle of the night?"

Cheng Xue took out the file folder in her hand: "I came back to file these!"

Nan XiangWan glanced at it: "Oh, whose is this?"

Cheng Xue: "Chen Yaoyao's. President Nan, why didn't you turn on the lights? You scared me to death!"

Nan XiangWan shrugged: "I can see."

Cheng Xue: "Others can't see! They would think it's a ghost..."

Nan XiangWan casually took the file folder and flipped through it. Chen Yaoyao was now a small artist in the company. She had shot a children's commercial a few days ago and was going to join a crew to play the female lead as a child later.

Anyway, her career was developing smoothly, also because Cheng Xue took good care of this child.

This file contained the contract for that crew and so on. Chen Yaoyao had passed the audition and the child's performance was great.

Cheng Xue's expression softened beside her: "Yaoyao's family conditions are actually quite ordinary. It's a bit difficult for her parents to raise two children, so Yaoyao's pocket money and living expenses are usually given by her brother."

Nan XiangWan's fingers paused, her expression unchanged.

Cheng Xue sighed: "So the siblings have a really good relationship. This incident was a huge blow to Yaoyao. She grew up overnight, and you can't find a trace of childishness in her. Now she just wants to earn money to let her parents live in peace."

Nan XiangWan: "She's only 10 years old."

Cheng Xue: "Yes, only 10 years old!"

Nan XiangWan: "Is she at home now?"

Cheng Xue: "Yes, it’s the weekend, so I sent her home to stay. Usually she lives with me or Lang Hu. Don’t worry President Nan, I left company security to protect her 24/7."

Nan XiangWan was surprised: "What's wrong, is there a problem with her home?"

Cheng Xue frowned: "After her brother’s accident, her home was burglarized and ransacked, though nothing seems to be missing. It’s just a bit strange."

Nan XiangWan narrowed her eyes: "Give me her home address."

...

Chen Yaoyao's home was very remote. It took Nan XiangWan two hours by taxi to get there, and by then it was already late at night.

It was worth noting that Horror Escape Room had just started airing.

Without new episodes from Nan XiangWan and Gu Beihuai, the popularity had clearly declined, but there were still many loyal fans watching. This horror variety show was very well made, from the director to the props to the scripts, it was trustworthy and worth looking forward to.

And just half an hour after the broadcast, a hot search rushed up.

[Yang Rongjun's escape room was copied from Nan XiangWan]

No one knew what oldbaby had done in the escape room that made him rush to the hot searches!

But Nan XiangWan didn't have time to look closely at all this. She had already arrived at her destination, getting out of the taxi and walking into this old neighborhood that had been around for decades, following the door numbers to find it.

Chen Yaoyao's home was on the third floor. She didn't see any lights on.

They should all be sleeping.

Nan XiangWan hid herself in the darkness, surveying her surroundings in all directions. She quickly located the security personnel Cheng Xue had mentioned.

The bodyguards dispatched by Hua Wan Entertainment were strictly guarding various points, also communicating with each other via earpieces, surrounding Chen Yaoyao’s home, so at least two bodyguards would notice if someone tried to enter the building.

Nan XiangWan nodded, not bad.

But just then, the stairwell lights on the fourth floor suddenly turned on.

No one had entered the corridor, so someone on the fourth floor was going out and going downstairs.

This caught Nan XiangWan's attention. It was around 1 AM now.

Who would suddenly go out at this time?

The lit lights didn't stay on long, the motion sensor lights only lasted thirty seconds, and soon went off.

But at the exit of the corridor, no one appeared.

Nan XiangWan narrowed her eyes again. Had they gone back, or...

This detail was very hidden, and didn't catch the attention of the security personnel downstairs.

But Nan XiangWan noticed an anomaly!

She circumvented all the security personnel and started climbing from one corner of the building.

Her duck bill cap was pressed down low, only revealing a smooth jawline.

She climbed up the side of the building all the way from that corner, stepping onto the third floor wall with her shoes, her fingers clasping the rough wall, moving horizontally like a gecko.

Soon, she shifted to Chen Yaoyao's window.

This seemed to be Chen Yaoyao's room. Although the lights were off, she could hear the sound of Horror Escape Room leaking through the window cracks.

It was very faint, clearly watching it sneakily!

Nan XiangWan suddenly smiled. This kid...

But very soon, her breathing paused.

With her elite soldier-level insight, she sensed there were footsteps outside Chen Yaoyao's door!

But the lights in the home were off...

Nan XiangWan's eyes focused, and she climbed forward without hesitation, removing Chen Yaoyao's window.

Chen Yaoyao heard the sound and wind, and poked her head out from under the quilt.

Earlier she had been watching the livestream buried under the quilt, afraid the sound would wake up her parents in the next room.

Who knew Nan XiangWan's hearing was so amazing she could hear it through the window.

Nan XiangWan moved quickly. After tumbling into the room, she landed and immediately went up to cover Chen Yaoyao's mouth, preventing her from screaming in surprise.

Unexpectedly, although Chen Yaoyao was frightened for a moment, she quickly calmed down!

As expected of a child who had experienced such great ups and downs in life, her psychological endurance was impressive.

Through the light of her tablet, Chen Yaoyao saw Nan XiangWan's face under the duck bill cap.

Chen Yaoyao's eyes lit up as she kept making hand signals and nodding to indicate she wouldn't make a sound.

Nan XiangWan removed her hand covering her, and made a quiet shushing gesture.

Chen Yaoyao nodded again, sitting obediently on the bed without moving, her big eyes wide open.

At the same time, her heart was racing as her eyes were full of excitement!

How thrilling!

In the middle of the night, her idol had actually climbed through her window into her room.

Were there any more magical plot developments than this?

Chen Yaoyao felt she could tailor-make a bestselling novel based on this!

After securing Chen Yaoyao, Nan XiangWan softly went to the door and listened for sounds outside, pressing against the wall.

The footsteps came and went, very light.

They were a man in his 30s, judging by the adult male footsteps. In other words, it wasn't Chen Yaoyao's parents.

The other party was a stranger who had broken in!

A flash of ferocity flashed through Nan XiangWan's eyes as she clenched her hand into a fist.

Let's see who was so bold!
