Chapter 181 Strange Destination
With this level of gear, there was no way anyone would recognize her.
Jean looked into the mirror and gave a satisfied nod.
“How’s this?” she turned and raised an eyebrow at Ludwig, who stood not far off.
Ludwig tilted his head, eyes scanning her from head to toe. “You look like a boy-”
“Not bad. Solid disguise,” he said, giving a fair assessment.
Before leaving, Jean made sure to call Sienna.

She had no idea how long the meeting would last. If she just vanished for hours, it’d be hard to explain to the Ginger family.
So she gave Sienna a heads–up.
She told her she’d be out with friends for the weekend and probably wouldn’t be back until evening – nothing to worry about.
Sienna gave her a few reminders but didn’t question it too much.
After the call ended, Jean noticed Ludwig was already standing at the window. His hair and jacket fluttered slightly in the cool wind. “Come on, I’ll take you out.”
He smiled as he spoke.
Jean hesitated. She opened her mouth, ready to say she wanted to go through the front door.
After all, she’d already explained things to Sienna. There was no need to sneak out anymore.
But then her eyes flicked down to her all–black outfit, and she immediately changed her mind.
If she walked out like this, the Ginger family’s security team would probably think she was an intruder…
So she nodded. “Alright. Let’s go.”
As usual, Ludwig wrapped his arms around her and leapt out the window with her in tow-
They landed quickly on a quiet side path near the Ginger estate.
It was a hidden blind spot with no surveillance cameras Parked there was a sleek, stylish motorcycle.
Ludwig approached the bike and tossed her a helmet.
Jean blinked in surprise but caught it on instinct.
“Hop on.”
Ludwig gave a faint smile and patted the back seat, motioning for her to get on.
Jean nodded slightly.

She didn’t want to drag things out. She quickly put on the helmet and climbed onto the seat behind him.
Though Ludwig was slim and lean, his frame carried a quiet strength. Jean instinctively wrapped her arms around his waist-
With a jolt and a low roar, the motorcycle came to life.
The world around them blurred as they sped forward, the wind brushing coolly across her face.
Jean lowered her head against Ludwig’s back, shielding herself from the sharp gusts.
Smart girl.
It was broad daylight, and the roads weren’t exactly empty.
The two of them, dressed in full black on a flashy bike, drew plenty of attention.
Pedestrians turned to stare, eyes wide with curiosity at the mysterious duo.
Jean, meanwhile, was on the verge of falling asleep.
The bike might’ve been fast, but the ride was surprisingly smooth – Ludwig’s driving skills were top- notch.
She yawned from boredom, then slowly slipped into a sleepy daze..
She had no idea how much time had passed.
Suddenly, a cool, steady voice spoke beside her ear, “Jean?”
Jean flinched instinctively and slowly opened her eyes.
“We’re here. You can get off,” Ludwig said. He didn’t look back, but he must’ve noticed she’d nodded off his tone was gentle, a quiet reminder.
Jean blinked, gradually snapping out of her daze.
“Oh.” She responded softly, lifted her hand to remove the helmet, and hopped off the bike.
Then she looked ahead
–
– and her eyes flashed with a hint of shock.
She hadn’t expected this to be their destination…
