Chapter 633 Are you done?
Lu Tian stood facing the window. He never once looked at his assistant, but with exceptionally good hearing, he was dumbfounded by the man. Even his urge to keep a composed posture was at a fail as he almost lost his standing.
Raising his left hand, he massage his head like he was smoothing away any unnecessary thoughts.
When he was sure he can keep a straight face again, he turn his head from the window to look at his assistant and spoke in a flat voice.
"Are you done?"
Xu Long was still sizing the man with long hair in the computer screen. Due to him sitting in his boss's chair, his entire demeanor went from assistant to badass tycoon mode.
However, being pulled back to reality by the actual boss of the place, he blinks his eyes like a spec of dust had flew inside his eyes.
"Heh heh."
He chuckles sarcastically and stood up from the chair that didn't belong to him. Sounding a cough to clear his behavior, he skips over to sit down on one of the couches in the room.
"I'm done, for now. What do you need this assistant to do?"
Lu Tian looks back at the window. This time, he doesn't look down at the bustling street, but at the clear blue sky that was beginning to be cover by gray clouds.
"Upload the photos into our database. Have the computer cross-check with the satellites. They can be hiding anywhere in Imperial, but with all the CCTV in the city, their faces are bound to appear somewhere."
Hearing these instructions, Xu Long's body slumps into the couch. He cries without any tears and tilt his head back to lean on the back rest. His eyes gaze up at the ceiling and he sighs before closing his eyes.
These men are no doubt similar to his boss. Cautious and knows how to keep a low profile. However, they are more like ghosts that disappear without leaving any trace of them ever existing.
He had been so focused on checking all the planes, trains, boats, and buses, he forgot to check the CCTVs around Imperial. Good thing his boss reminded him or else it would have taken another few hour to remember.
Thinking back to the information he read about the three men, he sighs again.
"This is like trying to chase after the wind. You can't see it, but you can feel it."
Taking a deep breath, he opens his eyes and stood up. Turning to face his boss, his eyes now flash with determination like never before.
"Don't worry boss. No matter how good they are, I will do everything I can to locate them. If I can't, my name is not James Long Bond."
He raise one hand and gives a strong salute. He doesn't wait for Lu Tian to give further order and quickly dismiss himself.
And for the second time in that day, Lu Tian was once again dumbfounded by his assistant. The second the door closed, and silence returns to the room, a smile curls on his straight face.
He sounds a quiet chuckle to himself and shakes his head.
'Your name was never "James Long Bond".'
Times like this, he really wants to cut open Xu Long's head and see how the man can always find the funny in something serious.
However, thinking about the man's determination, Lu Tian decides to let the assistant enlighten himself on the job.
Brushing all thoughts aside, he looks away from the sky to the many neighboring buildings near his own. He scans through each one until he finally stops at a specific one.
From where he stood, he doesn't have a good viewpoint of the building, but he could confirm that it was the right building.
He lowers his head and looks down at the watch on his left-hand wrist.
Seeing that it was half past one in the afternoon, he walks away from the window to his desk.
However, he doesn't sit down, but grabs his suit jacket and puts it on. Next, he grabs his coat then walks out of his office. Of course, he didn't forget to bring an umbrella with him since it was going to rain.
When lunch came, he had wanted to pick up his wife since she was visiting De L'amour, but she sent a message saying she was going to meet her friends for lunch.
He wanted to say no but decided to let her go. Of course, he only agreed because the restaurant she is going to is near his company and he plans to pick her up when she is done.
As Lu Tian leaves Lu Corps, Yue Ling, Qin Xue and Shi Yan also finished their meals.
The three women walked out of the luxurious restaurant unaware of the attention they had drawn to themselves.
Yue Ling, being tall and slender is a peerless beauty that makes one want to keep in a cage to admire every day. To her left was Qin Xue, who has a voluptuous figure and similar to cunning fox from ancient times. Standing on Yue Ling's right was Shi Yan, who has a very innocent and cute appearance. She was the kind of girl any person who meets can't help but want to protect.
"Aiya. I can't believe I let this happen."
Qin Xue spoke with frustration as she pinch the space between her brows. Ever since they left the private room, she had been sighing over and over without stopping.
On the other side, Shi Yan press her lips together to keep herself from laughing and smiling. However, unable to hold herself back, she chuckles and poke her head forward to look at the woman.
"Why are you still feeling down about what happened? It's ready done. Next time I will let you pay."
Hearing the girl, Qin Xue gives Shi Yan a frustrated glare. However, the second her eyes landed on the girl's cute and adorable face, she (Qin Xue) could only throw in the towel.
"Shi Yan, this is already the third time you've done this. How can you sneak away and pay for our meal? Do you know how expensive it was?"
Shi Yan grins from ear to ear with her teeth. She shrugs her shoulders and looks away from her friend. She knew that Yue Ling and Qin Xue were planning to pay for their meal, but she was a step faster than them.
She also knows that she doesn't live a luxurious life like the two women, but that didn't mean she was going to let them pay for her all the time.
Thinking this way, her head tilts left and right as her body sway in motion. Everything about her was the exact definition of happiness like she was taking a stroll through a vast field of sunflowers.
Yue Ling was rendered speechless by the two women's conversation. She was sure that if Zhao Ya'Er and Lee Hana were here, all four women would no doubt get along without being introduced to one another.
Oblivious to Yue Ling's thoughts, Qin Xue slows down in her steps and looks at the retired model.
"Is your chauffer already waiting for you?"
Knowing that Yue Ling is from the Ji family, she must have been dropped off by her personal driver. However, Yue Ling's answer took her by surprise.
"No, I drove myself here."
