"How could the angle be so tricky? The First Annoying Guy must have done this on purpose! How am I supposed to climb through the window?" Rui Hui stuck her head out and scanned her surroundings.

The entire lab building where Diwu Zexuan worked was a slab building, with all the rooms aligned in a straight line and no ledges outside the windows for her to step on. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The windows in the corridor were almost ten meters away from the rooms. Even with a rope, Rui Hui wasn’t completely confident she could manage it.

Suddenly, footsteps echoed from behind her, and Rui Hui’s nerves went taut. She quickly hid in the corner of the corridor.

In no time, the assistant led a few bodyguards past her.

Rui Hui didn’t dare to breathe heavily, watching in shock at the shadows passing by.

This place was the forbidden zone of the lab building. Usually, only Diwu Zexuan and his assistant would patrol up here.

The extra bodyguards today were clearly because Diwu Zexuan was guarding against her!

Did he guess that she would sneak up here?!

Does this mean that Diwu Zexuan would soon notice she wasn’t in her room and come looking?!

Rui Hui shivered, daring not to delay further. Once she confirmed that the patrolling bodyguards had left, she rushed to the outside of the room and reached out to open the password input device.

In her current situation, she didn’t dare risk climbing through the window. The only option left was to keep trying to unlock the password.

As long as she guessed the password before Diwu Zexuan realized she was missing, she could get into the room first.

By then, even if she got caught by Diwu Zexuan, at least she’d have uncovered her own suspicions, and it would be worth a beating!

Huff—

Rui Hui stared at the row of numbers in front of her, racking her brain but unable to figure out what kind of password Diwu Zexuan would set up.

Their birthdays were incorrect, and the wedding anniversary was also incorrect.

The only option left was his family.

Diwu Zexuan had never actively mentioned his family to her, but Rui Hui knew only about a former queen who died to protect him.

Gritting her teeth, she pulled out her phone and found the birthday of the former queen, entering the numbers one by one.

"Incorrect password, please try again."

Damn it!

Rui Hui glared at the error prompt, and her small body darted to the side, watching as the bodyguards walked toward her again, the tension almost making her want to curse!

She had tried all the passwords she could think of, but none were right.

What on earth was Diwu Zexuan thinking? None of the numbers related to him were correct. Could it be that he just randomly picked six numbers as the password?!

Could it really be as she thought, that Diwu Zexuan was hiding a mistress outside, so the password was the mistress’s birthday?

"Thunk!"

Rui Hui raised her hand and knocked her forehead, squinting in pain. "What kind of nonsense am I thinking at a time like this? I need to figure out the password, that’s what’s important."

If I delay any longer, I’ll be discovered by the patrolling bodyguards on the top floor before Diwu Zexuan finds out I’m missing.

"Password, password, damn First Annoying Guy, what on earth did you use as the password!"

Rui Hui paced back and forth in front of the room, as nervous as an ant on a hot pan.

"Right!"

A sudden inspiration struck Rui Hui, and she rushed to the input device, quickly pressing a set of numbers.

"Beep—"

The brief sound of notification was like a bugle of victory, suddenly ringing in Rui Hui’s ear.

Rui Hui stood there in a daze, expecting the password to be wrong. Her stance, prepared to run, froze just like that.

Blinking her astonished big eyes, she watched as the door in front of her slowly opened.

"Did it really... open?"
