Chapter 581 Bring me the man
After Yue Ling left Lu Corps, Lu Tian continued on with the meetings. As the shorthand on the clock points to 5 and the long hand on 12, it was time for the employees at Lu Corps to leave home.
Inside the office of Lu Corp's CEO, the almighty businessman sat behind his desk. He doesn't leave, but types away on the keyboard as the clicking turns into the sound of music in the room.
"Boss?"
A knock sounds at the door then Xu Long's voice follows after. He was feeling quite nervous because he learned that his boss knows where he had gone for lunch.
The man didn't say anything, but only asked if he enjoyed his lunch. It didn't sound so scary for others, but for him, it was the thing that scared him the most.
His boss's calm demeanor is the most terrifying thing in the entire world.
Thinking this, he struggles a hard gulp and poke his head inside the room. Seeing the aloof man sitting behind his desk, Xu Long could only cry inside. He takes a deep breath then enters the room.
"Um, boss, everyone has gone home."
His words fell and he stops three feet in front of the desk. Usually when its time to leave, Lu Tian is the first to leave as the man could not wait to see his wife, but today was different.
Their last meeting had finished earlier than expected, but ever since his boss returned to his office, he has not left the room at all. He (Lu Tian) said he was going to look into someone. However, as his assistant, if he (Lu Tian) needed to find someone, he could have asked him (Xu Long).
Xu Long slightly furrow his brows and pout his lip at his busy boss.
"Boss, if you need information on someone, I can help assist you."
The moment his last word fell, Lu Tian's fingers typing over the keyboard comes to a stop. His eyes that had been glued to the screen finally shifts to his assistant.
Without saying a word, he leans back on his chair and fold his arms over his chest. His expression turns into one of deep pondering like it was over something profoundly serious.
After thinking thoroughly, he unfolds his arms and reach for a folder nearby. He slides it across the desk to his assistant then leans back on the chair.
"Bring me the man in here."
Xu Long was sweating like crazy under his work suit. He swore, when his boss didn't say anything but kept a silence, it was like a cold gust of wind has entered the room.
When he finally heard his boss's words, he was rooted to the floor with superglue. He doesn't know who the person his boss is looking for, but he can only pity the man.
He has mad hacking skills and Liu Shan is even better than him, but one should know that the real hacking master is none other than his boss. However, Lu Tian lets him do all the hacking so he can improve his skills more.
From his time working under the businessman, only a few people have been given the honor to be personally tracked down by the man himself.
Staring without blinking his eyes, Xu Long lowers his head down to the folder. He takes two steps closer to the desk and picks up the folder. He is also curious to know who his honorable person is.
"Boss, how do you want me to bring him in?"
He doesn't look down at the folder but holds it open with his righthand as he looks at his boss. Lifting his left hand, he makes a slice gesture to his neck.
"Do you want to slice his throat?"
His words fell before he quickly change his gesture. This time he grabs the front his neck and makes choking sounds.
"Or should I strangle him like this?"
Lu Tian stares at his oddly weird assistant. Whether to laugh or cry at this moment, he doesn't know if the two options will even help him. He lifts one hand to massage his temples before pinching the space between his eyebrows.
"Bring him in alive."
Hearing his words, Xu Long was quite disappointed. When he finds this person, he wanted to teach the man a lesson for crossing his boss's line, but an order is an order.
He nods his head in understanding and lowers his head to look down at the opened folder. Inside was a list of the person's information, but as he read each detail of the person, his brows furrow more and more.
"Uh, boss, why…"
His head tilts slightly from side to side as he was now confused. Everything he was reading did not make any sense at all.
His left hand continues to flip each page inside the folder until he came to the last page.
Unlike the other pages with words, this one was a printed photo from a CCTV video. In the photo there were three people, two men and a woman. However, one can see that one of the men is trying to save the woman.
He glance down at the bottom right corner where the date and time is shown and his jaw drops. Everything in his hand falls onto the floor except for the photo.
"B-B-Boss… What… What is the meaning of this?"
He holds the photo up for Lu Tian to see and his other hand points to a figure in the photo.
"Why do you have a CCTV image of me when I first went to Spring?"
In the photo, his back was turned to the camera, but from one look, he knows himself when he sees himself. Not only that, there was a red circle on him in the photo.
"I… you… this is… we…. Me… I…"
The person his boss wants him to bring in is himself?
He tries to ask, but it was like his brain had suddenly malfunction and he was only able to utter incoherent words that did not make any sense. Even he wanted to faint at this very moment but is unable to.
His mouth opened and closed for a few seconds before he abruptly comes to a stop. Every feeling inside him disappears into nothing and he stares into a blank space. His entire being now resembles a robot.
"I will bring you the person."
Without looking at his boss, he turns around and takes a big step away. His head turns to the left and he points with a serious face to the empty space to his left.
"Hey, you, my boss wants to meet you!"
He takes a big to the left and turn his head to look at space he was just standing. He points his index figure to himself with a confused expression.
"Who me? What did I do?"
Taking a step to the right where he was standing seconds ago, he returns into position with his left arm pointing out.
"No questions. Do as I say, or I will kill you."
In repeat of the previous step to the left again, he folds his arms and rolls his eyes with an arrogant demeanor.
"Kill me? Do you know who I am?"
Another step to the right and his nostrils flare with widen eyes in rage.
"I'm going to strangle you to death!"
He stretches his left arm out as if to grab the air on the right side of him. However, he quickly jumps back to the right side and his raging appearance replaces with shock.
"No!!"
His right hand grabs his own neck and he strangles himself like someone was really attacking him.
"Kkkkkk…"
Choking sounds escapes his mouth and his double chin appears. His eyes rolls back and his head tilts slightly to the side like he had lost all consciousness.
After a quick second of this, his eyes open and he jumps back to the right. His left arm is kept in midair like he was holding onto someone's neck and he turns around to walks back to his boss.
"Boss, I have completed my mission."
He grabs the back of his neck and throws himself onto the desk with eyes closed.
"Here he is."
"…"
