She must have something!
Meanwhile, back in a room at the Du Mansion, a body was slumped over the seat. In front of him was 4 monitors that were glaring brightly at him, scolding him for his incompetence.
The owner of the body groaned and cursed at the screens and the files scattered across the table.
Callum had been up the whole night, trying to look for information on Kai Xin. He had spent a considerable amount of time and money to research this Kara Zhen Kai Xin behind DX's back.
If his brother found out about this, no doubt he would have to suffer through more pain. However, for DX's sake, he was willing to brave through his fury.
When his investigations brought back nothing, he got irritated and decided to dig back further in time. With his team of hackers already in position, he sent them an encrypted message and ordered them to find everything they can on her, from the time she was born.
"She must have something! How is it possible for someone her age to have so little virtual presence!"
He cursed as he stared at her online profile. Other than her Linkedin which merely contained descriptions of her career - which was exceptional - and some photos from her mother's and her friends' Facebook accounts where she was always partially obscured, he could not find anything else.
Well, her name was mentioned in newspapers every now and then but there was no photo. It was as if she had barely lived...as if she had been actively hiding her presence.
Callum's fingers flew across the keyboard as he quickly sent another encrypted message to his team , "If you cannot find anything on her, investigate those around her! I don't trust anyone who does not have an online profile!"

By the time she woke up, it was already past 10am. She pulled out her phone from her bag and saw that she received three messages from DX.
8.00 am - [ Morning, Han Ye told your boss that you would be going outstation with me to discuss on the project. Don't worry about being late to work. ]
9.00 am - [ Are you awake? Hangover? Should I send some soup over? ]
9.05 am - [ Just stay at home today. Han Ye will deliver the hungover soup over.]
Groggily, she texted him to let him know that she was awake and that she would be staying at home today. As she dragged herself to the bathroom, she received another message. However, it was a message from an annoying person.
[ DAISY. TO9@8pm. LOVE <3, GHOST.]
"Love your head." She muttered and did not bother to reply the message. After she freshened up, she went to the kitchen and found a note from her mum.
[ Your man sent the soup. Drink it. BTW, if you get drunk again, see if I would beat the shit out of you. Love, Mummy]
"What a violent woman…" She thought as she poured out the soup.

Kai Xin went to the gym for a few hours of workout session. By the time she was done, she decided to go to the mall to shop around.
DX's birthday is coming up and she wanted to get him something. As she was strolling around, she saw the cutest set of gold teddy bear cufflinks. It was not DX's style but it was too cute!
Thinking that it would look really good on DX, she bought it at a whim. After all, he would wear anything she bought him, even if he looks ridiculous in it.
Last year, she bought him a Spongebob Squarepants boxer as a joke and he took it seriously. When he wore it to one of their rendezvous, she could not stop laughing for a good 20 minutes.
When she walked past a high end store, she saw a midnight black silk tie with mini teddy bears sewed in gold threads behind one of the display. She got so excited that she immediately went in.
Her plan was to make the presents into a set. At her age, she was earning quite a decent amount and thus, she had never thought much about it when it comes to spending.
"I hope he likes it." She thought as she went to the counter to pay for it. There was no one at the counter who can help her.
When she looked around, she noticed that all the salesgirl were surrounding a gorgeous woman who had the most exquisite look Kai Xin had ever seen.
At 170 cm, Kai Xin considered herself to be quite tall but the woman there must be above 175 cm.
With an unblemished face, and hair that was neatly tied up in a braided updo, she was the epitome of elegance. Kai Xin noted that she was wearing the latest limited edition dress from Chanel.
She only knew about it because she had one at home that DX bought for her.
"Damn, is she a supermodel?" Kai Xin thought as she watched the elegant woman who appeared flustered by the attention that was upon her.
However, she had no time for this silliness, so she called out dryly, "Excuse me, is there anyone working here today?"
