After I died, they cried in the live studio

She pretended to be calm and moved closer. Her ears were like sensitive receivers, not missing any of the conversations between the three people. At the same time, she had to be careful not to let her eavesdropping be discovered. Her heartbeat was particularly loud in the silent environment, as if it would expose her whereabouts at any time. She carefully controlled her breathing and tried to make her movements look natural, but the tension in her heart kept surging like a tide.

However, fate did not seem to let Sang Jiuyue off. In this magnificent restaurant, Farah sat at the main seat, wearing a deep sea blue evening dress that looked like the ocean in the dark night, exuding a mysterious and noble atmosphere. She gracefully raised the crystal glass in her hand, her eyes seemingly casually swept towards Sang Jiuyue in the corner, her voice crisp but with the majesty of a superior: "You, come and pour us some red wine."

Sang Jiuyue, who was pretending to be busy wiping the candlesticks, was shocked when she heard the command, and her whole body froze instantly. The rag in her hand slipped quietly and fell to the ground, but she didn't notice it at all. Her hands, which were already shaking slightly due to nervousness, were shaking even more violently at this moment, as if she had Parkinson's disease. Her eyes were wide open, full of fear and panic, and her heart was beating wildly in her chest, as if it was going to break through her chest. She felt that her blood had solidified at this moment, her brain was blank, and only one thought was left echoing: "It's over, it's over, have we been discovered?"

Her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move an inch. After a long while, she forced herself to take a stiff step, each step was heavy and slow, as if she was dragging a heavy burden. Her legs seemed to be filled with lead, and each step required a huge effort.

She slowly walked towards the dining table, her head lowered, her hair scattered messily, covering most of her face which had turned pale with fear. She could feel the eyes of everyone at the table like hot lights, burning her back and making her feel like she was on edge. She tried her best to control her breathing and tried to look calmer, but her slightly trembling shoulders still revealed her extreme nervousness. Her breathing became rapid and disordered, as if she would suffocate at any time.

Coming to the dining table, Sang Jiuyue stretched out her hands to take the red wine bottle, but her hands were shaking so much that she could hardly hold the bottle. Her fingers seemed to be out of control and kept shaking. She took great effort to steady her shaking hands and slowly poured the red wine into Farah's glass. The red wine rippled in the glass, just like her turbulent heart at the moment. She stared at the wine glass, not daring to move away, for fear that raising her head would expose her identity.

At this critical moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through Sang Jiuyue's mind. Her eyes quickly swept to the maid's hat hanging on the side. That ordinary hat seemed like her life-saving straw at this moment.

With shaking hands, she grabbed the hat and hurriedly put it on her head, her movements were hasty but she tried not to attract attention. The brim of the hat was pulled down low, almost covering her eyes, revealing only the tip of her small nose and her lips that were trembling slightly due to nervousness. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but her legs still couldn't stop shaking slightly. She imitated the other maids, slightly bent her body, and moved towards the dining table step by step with very light steps.

With every step she took, her heart tightened, her eyes were fixed on the ground, and her peripheral vision was vigilantly watching the reactions of the people around her. When she approached the dining table, she reached out to take the red wine bottle, her fingertips still trembling. She held her breath and carefully poured wine for Farah, the red wine slowly flowing into the glass. She never dared to take her eyes off the glass, for fear that raising her head would expose herself.

After pouring Farah's glass, she poured wine for Sang Shuwan and Nancy in turn. During the whole process, she kept her head down, and the shadow of her hat covered her face tightly. Her movements were mechanical and stiff, and she completed this series of actions completely by instinct. Fortunately, until she finished pouring the wine, the three people at the table did not notice anything unusual. Sang Jiuyue's heart was a little relieved, but the nervousness was still with her, tightening her nerves.

Sang Jiuyue knew that she was safe for the time being, but this dangerous game had just begun. In this seemingly peaceful Sang family mansion, there were countless secrets and crises hidden, and she had to find her own way out in this fog, otherwise, what awaited her would be an abyss of no return... She secretly swore in her heart that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, she would uncover the truth behind it all and fight for a glimmer of hope for herself.

Farah had a perfect smile on her lips, and a barely perceptible sense of complacency in her eyes. She raised her arm gracefully, and pointed her slender fingers gently to the back of the villa. Her voice was as melodious and pleasant as a nightingale: "There is a natural hot spring pool hidden in the back garden of my villa. The water quality is the best of the best. Taking a dip in it can not only relieve fatigue, but also be a good way to maintain your beauty. You must go and experience it."

On that sunny afternoon, Sang Shuwan and Nancy were in a corner of the luxurious manor, with a winding path leading to the hot spring area in front of them. Nancy's face was full of anticipation, her eyes sparkling, and she excitedly suggested, "Shuwan, you've been busy for so long, let's go to the hot springs and relax."

Sang Shuwan's lips curled up into a gentle smile, as charming as a flower blooming in spring. She nodded softly, her voice as pleasant as the gurgling of a stream: "That's great. I've been busy with the project for days, and I just want to find a chance to relax."

Nancy was as excited as a happy little deer. She jumped up and down with her feet off the ground, clapping her hands and shouting, "This is great! I have been dreaming about this natural hot spring for a long time, and today I can finally fulfill my wish!"

The two of them walked together on the winding stone path. On both sides of the path, colorful flowers bloomed wantonly, red like fire, pink like clouds, white like snow, they swayed gently in the breeze, as if whispering secrets that belonged only to them. The rich fragrance of flowers filled the air and penetrated into their nostrils, making them feel relaxed and happy.

After walking for a while, a simple and elegant carved wooden door appeared in front of her. Nancy was like a curious baby, and took the lead, stretched out her hand and pushed the wooden door open. In an instant, a dreamlike scene came into her eyes.

The hot spring pool with steam rising from it lies quietly in the center of the garden. Green plants of various shapes are planted beside the pool, and the leaves look particularly fresh and green under the moisture of the water vapor. On the water surface, colorful petals float gently with the rippling water, like a piece of dreamy boat.

Sang Shuwan stood by the pool, her eyes revealing a hint of enjoyment. She gently took off her clothes, and every movement was extremely elegant, as if she was performing a sacred ceremony. Her white jade skin was looming in the hazy water vapor, like a white lotus blooming in the mist. Then, she slightly lifted the hem of her skirt, moved lightly, touched the water surface with her toes, and then slowly immersed her whole body in the hot spring. The warm spring water wrapped around her body, and she closed her eyes comfortably, and her thick eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her fair cheeks. At this moment, her heart was full of relaxation and comfort, and the fatigue and pressure of the past few days seemed to gradually dissipate with the warm spring water.

Nancy was like a lively little dolphin, jumping up high impatiently, and with a "plop", she jumped straight into the hot spring pool, splashing a large area of crystal water. "Wow, the water temperature is so comfortable! It's like soaking in the clouds!" She shouted excitedly while splashing happily in the water, and the splashing water kept falling on the edge of the pool.

After a while, Nancy swam to the edge of the pool like a nimble little fish, stretched out her hand to scoop up a handful of water, and suddenly sprinkled it on Sang Shuwan, with a mischievous smile on her face. She said with a smile: "Sister Shuwan, come on, don't be so reserved. Indulge yourself once in a while and have fun!"

Sang Shuwan heard the noise and slowly opened his eyes. A hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and he glared at Nancy in an angry way. But Nancy's energetic smile was very contagious, and Sang Shuwan's mouth corners unconsciously rose. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that being with Nancy made him seem younger and more energetic.

Their laughter, like lively notes, echoed over the hot spring pool. Behind the bushes not far away, Sang Jiuyue was crouching and approaching cautiously. She was wearing a dark gray tight nightgown, which perfectly blended into the surrounding environment. Her heartbeat was particularly loud in the silent environment, and every beat sounded like a drum. Her eyes were fixed on the two people by the hot spring pool, and her ears tried their best to catch every word of their conversation, praying in her heart that she could get information that would be beneficial to her.

"Hmph, Sang Shuwan, Nancy, enjoy yourself, this may be your last happy time." Sang Jiuyue murmured to herself, with hatred flashing in her eyes. She recalled the various entanglements with Sang Shuwan in the past, and each memory was like a sharp knife, piercing her heart. "This time, I will make you pay the price."

In the restaurant, Sang Jiuyue was swiftly clearing the plates. She was always keeping an eye on her surroundings, fearing that her actions would be exposed. Her eyes were like a vigilant owl, constantly scanning the surroundings. Every person passing by could instantly make her nerves tense. The dinner was finally over, and she hurried to the kitchen with the heavy tray in her hand.

The kitchen was steaming and noisy. The chefs were busy frying in front of the stove, and the sound of spatulas colliding could be heard. The kitchen helpers were washing and cutting vegetables in a hurry. As soon as Sang Jiuyue stepped in, she felt a sharp gaze shooting at her.

"You, stop!" a sharp rebuke sounded. Sang Jiuyue's heart tightened, and she slowly turned around, only to see the head maid approaching her with an angry face. The head maid was slightly fat, wearing a whitened work suit, and the wrinkles on her face were twisted into a ball because of anger, and she looked as if she wanted to eat Sang Jiuyue alive.

"Look at what you're wearing!" The head maid pointed at the low-level emblem on Sang Jiuyue's clothes and cursed with spit flying, "Don't you see what kind of occasion this is? How dare you come out dressed like this? Aren't you ashamed! In this manor, rules are everything. People like you who don't know the rules are simply bringing shame to everyone!"

Sang Jiuyue lowered her head, tightly grasped the corner of her clothes, and dared not say a word. The curious or indifferent eyes cast by her surroundings made her feel uneasy. She could feel those eyes piercing her skin like needles, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

"Have you thrown away the rules I taught you?" The head maid scolded more and more vigorously. She raised her hand and hit Sang Jiuyue's arm heavily. "If I don't teach you a lesson today, you will not know your own limitations! A servant like you should know your status and don't even think about doing anything out of line."

Sang Jiuyue gasped in pain, her arm burning, but she could only hold back her tears, grievance and anger surging in her heart. She didn't understand why she had to suffer such humiliation just because of a badge. "I'm not a servant, I shouldn't be treated like this." She shouted angrily in her heart.

"Go, wash all the dishes and you are not allowed to sleep tonight!" the head maid ordered domineeringly, then turned around and left with a swagger.

Sang Jiuyue looked at the head maid's back, hatred welling up in her heart. She swore in her heart: "I will remember today's humiliation. Just wait, sooner or later, I will make you pay for what you did." She resisted the grievance and dragged her heavy steps to the sink. In the steamy and noisy kitchen, she began to work all night. Every time she wiped the dishes, it seemed like she was accumulating the power to take revenge on the head maid.

After Sang Jiuyue was scolded, the sharp pain in her arm instantly filled her eyes with tears, but she could only force herself not to let the tears fall. While she was glad that she had escaped the exposure of her identity because of her English, she was filled with uncontrollable humiliation.

She lowered her head and stared at the ground, with grief and indignation surging in her heart: "Why do you beat and scold me just because of a low-level badge? I shouldn't suffer such an insult! Sang Shuwan, Nancy and I are equal, but here I am treated as an inferior." Looking at the back of the head maid as she left, Sang Jiuyue clenched her fists, her nails deeply embedded in her palms, and hatred overwhelmed her like a surging tide: "Everything you have suffered today, I will return a thousandfold. You wait, sooner or later, I will make you pay a heavy price for your arrogance and rudeness." At this moment, the seeds of hatred had taken root deeply in her heart, and were growing wildly under the nourishment of humiliation and unwillingness.

Sang Jiuyue suppressed her grievance and anger, dragged her legs that felt as heavy as lead, and moved back to the temporary room step by step. As soon as she entered the room, she was like a ignited gunpowder barrel, and she couldn't wait to tear off the maid's uniform with humiliation marks and threw it to the corner, as if this could get rid of all the insults she had just suffered.

"Why do you treat me like this! It's just a low-level badge, and you trample on my dignity!" She yelled in her heart while hurriedly changing her clothes, her movements were hasty and flustered. She buttoned the wrong button, the zipper got stuck, and every little situation made her more and more irritated. Her fingers trembled with anger, and every attempt to button became extremely difficult.

After changing her clothes, she suddenly remembered that she had not registered as a maid and the beds had been assigned long ago, and there was no place for her. "It's over. What should I do now? Where should I sleep tonight?" Fear and helplessness instantly overwhelmed her. She paced back and forth in the room, pulling her hair with both hands, trying to think of a solution. Her mind was in a mess, like a tangled mess, and she couldn't find any clues.

As the night deepened, the lights in the manor went out one by one, and the surroundings became eerily quiet. Sang Jiuyue knew she couldn't delay any longer, so she took a deep breath, pretended to be calm, gently opened the door, and tiptoed out.

In the corridor, the moonlight poured through the window, creating strange shadows. Her heart was in her throat, and she took every step carefully, afraid of making any sound. "Don't be discovered, don't..." She kept praying in her heart. Her footsteps were as light as a cat's, and she took every step very carefully, afraid of making even the slightest sound from the floor.

After finally reaching the door of the warehouse, she reached for the door handle with trembling hands. The door creaked, which was particularly harsh in the quiet night. She was so scared that she trembled all over and quickly slipped in, her back pressed tightly against the door, not daring to breathe.

The warehouse was filled with a stale, decayed smell mixed with dust, which made her want to cough. With the faint moonlight coming in from the window, she saw that the corner was full of miscellaneous items, including old wooden boxes, abandoned farm tools, and some unclear objects.

"How can I sleep like this..." She frowned and struggled to find a place to lie down in the utility room. She stepped on something from time to time, making a "crackling" sound, and each time it made her tremble with fear. Her heartbeat echoed in the silent warehouse, and every time she stepped on something, her heartbeat instantly accelerated.

Finally, at the back of the warehouse, she found a place where she could barely lie down. She sat down gently, her back against the rough wall, and the cold instantly penetrated her clothes, causing her to shiver.

The surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of her own breathing and heartbeat could be heard. Sang Jiuyue hugged her arms tightly, and tears could no longer be held back, bursting out. "How could I end up like this... Why did those people bully me..." The grievance and unwillingness surged into her heart like a tide, and her shoulders trembled slightly. Her tears silently slid down and dripped onto her hands, burning hot.

But soon, her eyes became firm, her teeth clenched, and she swore secretly in her heart: "I will never forget the humiliation of today! Sang Shuwan, Nancy, and that abominable head maid, just wait for me! One day, I will make you pay a heavy price for what you did today! I want you to know that I, Sang Jiuyue, am not someone you can easily mess with!"

With this strong hatred, Sang Jiuyue gradually fell into an uneasy dream in the cold warehouse. In the dream, she saw the scene of her successful revenge.

At the edge of the hot spring pool, the warm water gently wrapped Sang Shuwan and Nancy like a piece of silk. At first, Sang Shuwan was still immersed in this warm and comfortable feeling, but in an instant, Sang Jiuyue's face, which made her feel daunted, suddenly broke into her mind without any warning. Just like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, her heart was instantly filled with turbulent waves.

Sang Shuwan's eyebrows, which were originally relaxed, suddenly twisted into a deep "chuan" shape, and her eyes were full of panic and anxiety. She could no longer sit still, and her body suddenly leaned forward, splashing a large amount of water, and she moved towards Nancy eagerly, and her hands unconsciously clenched the stones by the pool, and her knuckles turned slightly white due to the force.

"Nancy, my God, I'm really getting anxious!" Sang Shuwan's voice was trembling, almost out of control, "Tell me, where is that terrible woman Sang Jiuyue hiding now? I always have a strong premonition that she must have sneaked into Fala's manor, which is as complicated as a maze. Have you forgotten? She has always been holding a grudge against us and has done everything she can to get us. This time, she must have come with bad intentions. I'm really scared!"

Nancy was leaning leisurely by the pool, enjoying this rare leisure time. She stretched out her hand leisurely, her fingers as slender as green onions, gently stroking the strands of hair wet by the water vapor, and a few strands of hair playfully fell beside her pink cheeks, adding a bit of charm to her. Then, a confident and very soothing smile slowly bloomed at the corner of her mouth, just like the warm spring sun, which could dispel all the haze in the world.

"Shu Wan, you are too prone to worrying about things that may never happen." Nancy said, her voice soft and soothing, like a spring flowing in the mountains, with a magic that makes people feel at ease. "Think about it carefully, what kind of person is Farah? She is a legend who has been struggling in the cruel battlefield of the business world for decades. She has experienced countless bloody storms and winds, and every strand of her hair is shrewd. He manages his magnificent castle-like mansion and vast manor to the extreme. Every inch of land, every entrance and exit, and every corner are under his strict monitoring. The security system in the manor is even more indestructible, like a copper wall and iron wall, and it is difficult for a fly to fly in. Every security guard is equipped with the most advanced equipment, and has undergone countless actual combat drills. Their reaction speed and response ability are top-notch."

However, Sang Shuwan could not be soothed so easily. The anxiety in her eyes grew stronger and stronger, and she waved her hands frantically in the water, splashing layers of water.

"Nancy, you don't understand her!" Sang Shuwan shouted, his voice sharp and rapid, "Sang Jiuyue is like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, vicious and cunning, with countless ideas in her head like the stars in the sky. If she is determined to break in, she will definitely come up with some crooked ways that ordinary people can hardly imagine. Maybe she is hiding in some dark corner at this moment, planning how to give us a fatal blow! She may take advantage of some small loopholes in the manor, or bribe some dissatisfied servants to achieve her goals. I really dare not take it lightly." Seeing this, Nancy shook her head gently, picked up the towel embroidered with exquisite patterns on the exquisite tray beside her, and started from her arms, wiping them gently again and again, her movements were as elegant as a solemn ceremony.

"Shu Wan, don't be anxious, just listen to me." Nancy's tone was still calm and full of power. "Even if Sang Jiuyue really sneaked into the manor like a ghost, what can we do? You must not forget that everyone in this manor, from those agile and skilled guards who are always vigilant to protect the manor, to every hardworking and well-trained maid, are all confidants carefully selected and cultivated by Farah. Their loyalty to Farah is as firm as a rock, and they are meticulous in carrying out their tasks and will not tolerate any mistakes. Anyone who comes out can subdue Sang Jiuyue in an instant, leaving her powerless to fight back. Those guards all have special skills, some are good at fighting, and some are proficient in tracking. As long as Sang Jiuyue moves a little, she will be discovered and subdued immediately."

Sang Shuwan still found it difficult to calm her inner fear. Her body was shaking slightly and her voice was filled with tears.

"I really can't imagine it. What if she really breaks through all the obstacles and acts recklessly in the manor, hurting the people around us? Although Alice kindly reminded Farah to be careful of Sang Jiuyue, a dangerous person, no one is perfect. If there is even a little negligence, the consequences will be disastrous! She may hurt our friends and family, and even destroy the careers we have worked hard for for many years."

Nancy leaned forward slightly, held Sang Shuwan's trembling hands tightly with her warm hands, and looked into her eyes firmly and gently.

"Shu Wan, you have to calm down. Farah is not the kind of person who makes mistakes easily, and he always does things perfectly. What's more, he has so many loyal, reliable and capable subordinates around him. They have clear division of labor and each performs their duties, building an indestructible security line. No matter how powerful Sang Jiuyue is, she will never be able to break through these layers of defense. There is really no need for us to make ourselves so nervous and anxious for her and ruin this rare good time. Believe me, everything will be safe and sound. We are enjoying the hot springs here and relaxing our bodies and minds. This is the best response to her, letting her know that her conspiracy will never succeed."

Sang Shuwan listened to Nancy's words, and the fear in her heart gradually subsided. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "You are right, Nancy. I can't be swayed by fear. We must trust Farah and his team." Her eyes gradually regained their firmness, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile.

Not far away, Sang Jiuyue woke up from her sleep, her face covered with sweat, her eyes full of anger and unwillingness. She looked at the ceiling of the warehouse, and the fire of hatred in her heart burned even more vigorously. "Sang Shuwan, Nancy, you wait, I will not give up." She whispered in a low voice, with a resolute and fierce voice.

At this time, the security personnel of the manor were conducting rounds of patrols. Their eyes were sharp and they did not miss any corner. The moonlight shone on them, reflecting their firm figures, as if they were guarding this peaceful manor and not letting any danger approach.

At this moment, Jack, a member of the patrol team, was passing a bush when he noticed something unusual. He stopped, held his baton tightly, and looked around carefully. In the moonlight, he found that a branch in the bush seemed to have been pressed down by someone. Jack immediately reported to the captain through the intercom: "Captain, I found suspicious signs in the bushes on the west side of the garden. Request support."

The captain received the message and quickly made arrangements: "Group One will go to Jack's location, Group Two will strengthen patrols in the surrounding areas and keep a close eye on any movement."

At the same time, Sang Jiuyue began to plan her next move in the warehouse. She knew that the manor was heavily guarded and there was no chance of winning a direct confrontation, so she had to find another way. She remembered an abandoned passage she had observed in the manor before, and perhaps she could sneak into the main building through it.

Sang Jiuyue walked out of the warehouse carefully, and quietly moved forward along the wall under the cover of night. With every step, she carefully observed her surroundings, listening to any slight sound.

When she approached the entrance of the abandoned passage, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching from afar. Her heart suddenly tightened, and she quickly hid in the shadows nearby, not daring to breathe.

It turned out to be two security guards on patrol. They talked as they walked: "The atmosphere tonight is a bit weird, we have to be more careful." "Yeah, I heard that there might be dangerous people sneaking in, we can't let them down."

The footsteps of the two gradually faded away, and Sang Jiuyue breathed a sigh of relief and continued to approach the entrance of the passage. When she arrived at the entrance, she found a rusty lock hanging on the door. Sang Jiuyue took out a homemade lock picking tool from her pocket and began to try to open the lock.

After some effort, the lock "clicked" open. Sang Jiuyue gently pushed open the door of the passage, and a stale smell came to her face. She took a deep breath and walked into the passage. It was pitch black inside, and she couldn't see her hand in front of her. Sang Jiuyue turned on the small flashlight she carried with her, and the weak light illuminated the road ahead.

The passage was full of dust and spider webs, and Sang Jiuyue walked forward carefully, fearing to make any noise. As she walked, she suddenly heard a faint sound of dripping water, which was particularly clear in the silent passage.

At the hot spring pool, although Sang Shuwan and Nancy had calmed down on the surface, they were still a little uneasy in their hearts. Nancy suggested, "Shuwan, let's go back to the room. We still feel uneasy here." Sang Shuwan nodded, and the two stood up, put on bath towels, and walked to the room.

When they returned to the room and just closed the door, they heard hurried footsteps and noisy voices coming from outside. Sang Shuwan and Nancy looked at each other, and a bad premonition surged in their hearts.

At this time, the security captain of the manor was directing the search operation. He stood in the security room, staring at the monitoring screen, and kept issuing instructions: "Expand the search area and make sure to find the suspicious person!"

In the abandoned passage, Sang Jiuyue also heard the noise outside. She realized that her whereabouts might have been discovered, so she quickened her pace. Suddenly, an iron gate appeared in front of her, blocking her way.

Sang Jiuyue pushed the door hard and found it was locked tightly. She anxiously looked for a way to open the door, but found nothing. At this moment, footsteps came from behind her, getting closer and closer.

"It looks like we're surrounded." Sang Jiuyue gritted her teeth and thought about a plan. She looked around and found a vent on one side of the passage, maybe she could escape from there.

Sang Jiuyue quickly climbed up the vent, pushed open the cover with great effort, and crawled in. The ventilation duct was narrow and stuffy, and she crawled with difficulty, and her clothes were soaked with sweat.

On the other side of the manor, Farah came out of his room immediately after learning of the abnormal situation in the manor. He had a serious expression and a majestic look in his eyes. "What's going on?" he asked the security captain.

The security captain quickly reported: "We suspect that a suspicious person has sneaked in, and we are currently searching for him with all our strength."

Farah frowned and said, "We must ensure the safety of everyone in the manor. No mistakes can be made."

At this time, Sang Shuwan and Nancy were in the room. They heard the noise outside gradually subside, but the tension in their hearts did not ease at all. Sang Shuwan walked to the window and looked out through the gap in the curtains. He saw that the manor was brightly lit and security personnel were coming and going.

"I hope everything will be over soon." Sang Shuwan whispered.

Nancy walked over to her and comforted her, "Don't worry, Farah and his team will be able to solve the problem."

In the ventilation duct, Sang Jiuyue was still crawling with difficulty. Her physical strength was gradually running out, but the hatred in her heart supported her to move forward. Suddenly, she heard a voice coming from the front.

Sang Jiuyue stopped, held her breath, and listened carefully. It turned out that two security guards were talking in the corridor below: "We don't know where the suspicious person is hiding. We have been looking for him for so long." "No matter where he hides, he will be found sooner or later."

After the two of them left, Sang Jiuyue continued to crawl forward. Finally, she saw the exit of the ventilation duct, and below the exit was a utility room.

Sang Jiuyue climbed out of the vent and landed in the utility room. She carefully opened the door of the utility room and looked out. Seeing that the corridor was empty, she took a deep breath and decided to take this opportunity to look for Sang Shuwan and Nancy.

At this time, Farah summoned all the staff in the manor and questioned them in the hall. He looked at everyone sharply and said, "Everyone must report any clues about what happened tonight immediately."

The staff members said they found nothing unusual. Farah frowned, feeling that things were not that simple.

Sang Jiyue walked carefully in the corridor, she knew time was running out and she had to act quickly. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice coming from the front, it was Sang Shuwan and Nancy!

Sang Jiuyue quietly approached the source of the sound and found that the two were talking in a room. She felt a strong hatred in her heart and was ready to rush in.

Just as she was about to take action, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her. She quickly hid in a corner and saw a security guard walking past her.

Sang Jiuyue knew that it was too risky to take action at this time. She decided to retreat first and wait for a better opportunity. So she quietly left along the corridor.

In the room, Sang Shuwan and Nancy were still discussing what happened tonight. Sang Shuwan said worriedly, "I always feel that things are not over yet, and Sang Jiyue will definitely not let it go."

Nancy nodded: "No matter what, we have to be careful."

At this time, the security personnel of the manor were still searching. Farah stood in the hall, secretly vowing to find the intruder and ensure the safety of the manor. In the dark, Sang Jiuyue continued to plan her revenge plan. A bigger crisis seemed to be quietly approaching...

Night Talk Under the Cherry Blossoms
In the dreamlike cherry blossom forest of the manor, the bright moonlight poured down, dyeing everything with a silver-white glow. The breeze blew gently, and the pink and white petals fluttered down like snowflakes, drawing graceful arcs in the air.

Sang Shuwan and Nancy were wearing light nightgowns, sitting side by side on a stone bench under the cherry tree. Sang Shuwan's nightgown was an elegant light blue, like the quiet night sky, with delicate white flowers embroidered on the collar and cuffs. As she moved, the flowers appeared and disappeared, as if telling a gentle story. Nancy's nightgown was warm pink, like the gorgeous clouds in the sky, with a circle of delicate lace on the hem, swaying gently in the breeze, adding a bit of playfulness and agility to her.

"Nancy, although the situation tonight is frightening, I am also reflecting that this may be an opportunity for us to become stronger." Sang Shuwan's mouth corners slightly raised, his eyes revealing determination and thinking, "Sang Jiuyue's appearance has sounded the alarm for us. When facing challenges in the future, we must be more sensitive and decisive."

Nancy nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling. She reached out to catch a falling petal and smiled, "That's right! Every crisis is a step for growth. If we can discover the security loopholes this time, we can improve our defenses and make the manor safer. Moreover, this will also make our team more cohesive."

A gentle breeze blew by, and more petals fell, like flowers scattered by a fairy. A few petals playfully fell on their shoulders. Sang Shuwan and Nancy smiled at each other and raised their hands to gently brush away the petals.

"Just like the last time we encountered a malicious attack from a competitor, we successfully resolved it and even expanded new business. It's the same this time, we can definitely come up with a way to deal with Sang Jiuyue." Sang Shuwan raised his head slightly, looking at the falling petals, his tone full of confidence.

Nancy's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Yes! We can develop a detailed crisis response strategy, predict her possible actions in advance, and make all-round preparations. Maybe we can take this opportunity to expand our business into new areas and take the company to a higher level."

In the grass beside the stone bench, unknown insects chirped happily, interweaving with the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the cherry trees, as if playing a nocturne full of hope. Under the moonlight, the shadows of the two were stretched out long, blending with the shadows of the surrounding cherry trees. (End of this chapter)
