Chapter 2 : The Gizem Ring

She then nodded her head, "Yes."

Pausing she said, "Just the same mysterious dream."

Ye Fui nodded.

A glint flashed past Ye Fui's eyes which he hid quickly.

He then informed her, "Boss the organization has requested a meeting at 10 am."

As he lowered his gaze a hint of admiration could be seen.

Gu Jin is a mere 15 years old teenage girl, however, her life was never ordinary.

She has everything except her parents and peace.

When she was 5 years old her parents died in a car accident.

Her dad was a mafia boss and her mother's background was unknown to everyone.

Except for her paternal grandfather her all close ones died, leaving her all alone.

Since she was the only heir, all responsibility fell on her shoulder.

At the tender age of 7, she took the responsibility of the mafia organization.

And for the past 8 years, she is handling this wolf's den lonely.

Strangely she is always calm and collected.

Except for mourning her parents death, she never cried.

She was like a little hedgehog with spikes, defending herself from wolves.

Just then Gu Jin returned to her usual demeanor.

A word popped up in Ye Fui's mind 'Cold Queen'

Coming out of his dazedness, he heard her say coldly.

"Inform them to be present at the conference room."

Ye Fui hurriedly nodded.

Perceiving the cold look on Gu Jin's face, Ye Fui broke out in cold sweat.

Gu Jin turned her gaze towards the room.

The room with the mansion was lifeless and colorless just like her life.

The mansion was surrounded by a dense forest with a swimming pool at the top on the terrace and a fountain at the entrance of the mansion.

Yet she detests this life.

At Conference Hall.

The Conference Hall was filled with numerous middle-aged men as well as few women.

One of the middle-aged men said, " How fateful we are to have our Friday starting with a meeting."

Others nodded and showed their grief with a growl.

The seats were arranged in a semi-circle arc with the height increasing with every step.

The Hall was filled with excessive chattering voices.

Soon a gorgeous yet overbearing girl in black pants and white T-shirts appeared.

Her beautiful and sharp eyes coldly swept past everyone, and the noise of chattering stopped.

Gu Jin stepped on the platform.

As she was about to start her speech, she heard an old friendly voice.

"Jin'er, good morning how was your sleep?"

She turned toward the old man.

This old man is her grandfather.

Her always cold expression finally broke and a sweet smile appeared.

She bowed respectfully before calling out politely, "Grandfather."

The old man laughed heartily, in front of others she was like an iceberg however in front of him she was as docile as a lamb.

Gu Jin walked toward the old man and asked, "Good morning grandfather, do you have any work for me?"

The Old man chuckled and nodded.

Gu Jin asked, "What is it?"

The Old Man took out a ring, which was quite strange.

The ring was pure black and shiny, with an emerald engraved in middle, however, this was not the strange part, the strange part was...

The runes on the ring and inside the emerald.

Gu Jin for unknown reason got attracted and repelled by it at the same time.

Ignoring this feeling she questioned her grandpa with her eyes.

The Old man this time had a solemn look and said sternly, "Jin'er, the time is going unravel the fate. Its name is Gizem."

"This is a family heirloom, remember it is a prized possession that no one can hold."

Gu Jin was confused.

'Family heirloom?'

She traced her memory back yet she can't remember any heirloom related to her family.

Before she could respond, the Old man pushed the ring on her index finger.

And returned to his jolly state.

The Old man said, "Okay, I have some urgent matters to deal with I will talk to you later."

And he left.

Gu Jin regained her sense and clutched her fist.

Since her grandfather wanted her to wear the ring, she will.

The meeting ended by 2 pm and Gu Jin followed her routine.

The day ended with an exhausted Gu Jin who lay on her bed with a complicated look.

She closed her eyes and slept.

Strangely she didn't has the mysterious dream.

Gu Jin overlooked it and followed her work.

At night,

As usual, Gu Jin returned to the villa at 10 pm.

However, to her surprise, her grandpa was waiting for her in the living room.
