That night, Zhan Nanting left Rong Shang's room and never returned.
At first, Rong Shang didn't know what had happened. It wasn't until she lay down in bed that night that she heard Zhan Nanting's furious voice coming from the living room downstairs.
From his outburst, Rong Shang learned that when Zhan Nanting went to the Su family to find her in the evening, a servant broke into his study under the pretext of cleaning and stole the so-called spirit pearl.
In truth, given Zhan Nanting's mindset and the importance he placed on the Spirit Pearl, he would never place such an important object in a bright, easily visible location.
But Rong Shang couldn't help but find it strange that the theft was all committed by a servant.
...
The next day, Rong Shang was still sleeping in her room when, just as she was about to wake up, her body suddenly lifted into the air and she was lifted off the bed.
Alarmed, Rong Shang suddenly opened her eyes, only to be caught off guard by the man's deep gaze.
"woke up?"
This morning, Zhan Nanting's expression seemed rather unpleasant; he looked cold and somewhat gloomy.
After staring at him for two or three seconds, Rong Shang asked, "Where are we going?"
"The City of Darkness".
Now that she was awake, Zhan Nanting could only carry her to the bathroom.
What are you going there for?
Raising an eyebrow, Rong Shang obediently picked up toothpaste and a toothbrush from the sink and began washing her face after getting out of his arms.
Zhan Nanting was right behind her. Whenever she raised her head slightly, she could always see his tall figure in the mirror. Of course, what she couldn't ignore most was the man's handsome, expressionless face.
Thinking about what happened last night, Rong Shang rinsed her mouth before asking, "Did something happen?"
Every word she spoke was a test, but Zhan Nanting frowned as if unwilling to speak, "You don't have to go, you can stay here and wait for me to come back."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in the mirror turned around and was about to leave. Rong Shang raised an eyebrow and quickly called out to him, "Go, I want to go."
She also wanted to figure out what that spirit pearl was.
Why does Zhan Nanting treasure it so much?

At 8:30 a.m., the Dark City, built in the basement, was still shrouded in darkness.
The lobby, lit by dim yellow lights, was much less crowded than at night.
When Rong Shang followed Zhan Nanting there, she was wearing a baseball cap, so the people there didn't see her real face and didn't react much.
After she went inside, Zhan Nanting instructed Cheng Qi to take her to the suite he had stayed in last time.
The man seemed preoccupied the whole time, so Rong Shang didn't ask any questions and went with Cheng Qi.
“Miss Su, this place is a mixed bag. Unless it’s something urgent, you’d better stay in your room and not come out.”
He opened the door for her, and as Cheng Qi watched her enter the room, he pursed his lips and suddenly gave Rong Shang a sincere reminder.
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman turned around and looked at me lazily. "The person who wants to kill me is right beside me. Do you think I'd be afraid of anyone else?"
"Uh." Cheng Qi knew she was referring to him, and feeling embarrassed, he immediately lowered his head. "I wouldn't dare. As long as Miss Su is sincere towards our Second Master, Cheng Qi will never harm Miss Su in the slightest."
"I'm hungry, go and prepare some breakfast for me."
Thinking that Zhan Nanting was probably doing something at the moment, Rong Shang casually fiddled with the bracelet on her wrist and gave Cheng Qi another instruction.
Cheng Qi had no idea what she was thinking, and assumed she was just really hungry.
He nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, Miss Su."
