Chapter 177 This is it?

———-

"Boss, I’ve located L’amour de ma vie."

Xu Long spoke cheerfully as he hands a piece of paper to his boss. He had used every method in his brain to find the ring. It was an extremely difficult job, way more difficult than tracking a person. However, he was just glad he did, if he couldn’t, that would only mean his boss’s plan to propose would be jeopardized.

Old Lu and Madam Lu have long been pestering his boss to get marry. As Lu Tian’s assistant he can’t fail his lovestruck boss and the old couple.

Lu Tian reach for the paper and looks at it. He frowns after reading it. Looking at his assistant, he spoke indifferently.

"This is it?"

"....."

This is it? Really? Xu Long felt as if a huge mountain had just dropped on him. How can his boss say it like this? Does he not know that this ring isn’t just an ordinary ring?!

Sighing inside, he tells everything he found in detail. Although it’s not much, it’s still something.

"There’s not much found on the ring, except L’amour de ma vie is in City Z, Korea. It was kept confidential, but with my technical skills, I hacked into every system in Korea. The ring is in the hands of H International’s CEO."

Hearing this, Lu Tian’s frown deepens. He had wanted the ring for Yue Ling because it was an one of kind ring, just like her. However.... he’s heard of H International. In all of Korea, H International is the top ranking business. Just like Ji Corporation, it can be on pair with Lu Corps. The only thing is, no one outside of H International has ever seen the CEO. The man is known to be very mysterious.

Remembering something, he leans back on his chair, "Have you locate that man?"

Hearing the question, Xu Long couldn’t help but slouch his shoulders. By ’that man’ he knew who his boss was referring to.

"Boss, I’ve searched everywhere. That man is like a shadow that vanished into thin air. I paid Ting a visit and asked him, but he said he didn’t see or know the man. As for Ji Jingxu, I couldn’t even go a step near the boy. Chairman Ji has his grandson under high military watch for recovery."

Lu Tian nod his head. As much as he hates to do it, if all else fails, he will have no choice but to ask Grandfather Ji. He really wants to meet this man who kills in ten seconds.

Lu Tian: "How are the preparations for Ting’s parents burial?"

Xu Long: "Everything has been handed to Chairman Ji. He said he will take care of it."

Lu Tian nods his head. It was understandable why grandfather Ji would want to handle the burial. The old man was one who cares for life, especially towards those who lost their parents.

Stopping his thoughts, he looks at Xu Long.

"Book me a Flight to City Z. I will meet H International’s CEO personally."

Xu Long quickly straightens up and salutes. He opens his mouth to answer his boss, however....

*knock knock*

Hearing the sudden knock, Lu Tian glance at the door, whereas Xu Long turns around to see the intruder.

The door clicks open and a blonde hair woman enters. She wore a red blouse and a black pencil skirt. Her black T-strap heels clack as she steps inside the office.

Lu Tian felt disgusted seeing the person. He looks to his computer screen and starts typing away.

Unlike his boss, Xu Long’s expression dimmed. This woman is not only disgusting, but very cunning. Noticing the woman’s ugly eyes fixated on his handsome and mighty boss, he takes a step to the left. His body blocking his boss from view.

"Miss Qian, What are you doing here?"

Suddenly having her view blocked, Qian Li Li glares at Xu Long. She can never meet Lu Tian alone, if she does, this lousy assistant would always appear. Sneering inside, she puts on an innocent face.

"Assistant Xu, I didn’t think you’d be here too."

"Me being here is none of your business."

Xu Long spoke out truthfully. He didn’t like Qian Li Li, so him being in his boss’s office is not her problem. Not only is it her problem, why is she here?

From behind his desk, Lu Tian frowns at his assistant’s words. The name Xu Long just said was very familiar. He couldn’t help but think of where he heard it...

In his thoughts, his eyes subconsciously glance to one corner of his office. Seeing the luggage and LV tote still in his office, he finally remembers.

His expression darkens as he looks at Xu Long. This person mentioned was the person who blocked him and Yue Ling’s path last time.

"Xu Long, didn’t I say to remove to the person you just mentioned. Why is he still being mentioned?"

Qian Li Li: "..."

Xu Long: "pfffffff!!!"

Qian Li Li was dumbfounded. She could not believe what she just heard. Lu Tian actually referred her to a man!! How can she, a beauty be called a man? What woman would want to be known as a he?!

Unlike Qian Li Li, Xu Long held his stomach and laughed his lungs out. He had to admit, not only is his boss’s personality cold and ruthless, even his words are no different! Wiping a tear, he looks at Qian Li Li. Picturing her as a man, he laughs even more.

"..."

Qian Li Li clenched her fist tightly. She had come see Lu Tian to try and sweet talk her way out of being removing. Never in her entire life has she been humiliated like this! Lu Tian called her a man and Xu Long is laughing like she was some kind of joke!

Laughing till his stomach hurt, Xu Long calms himself and straighten his face. Looking at Qian Li Li seriously this time, he smiles sarcastically.

"Miss Qian, you heard the boss. You have been removed from Lu Corps. Go collect your salary and leave."

Of course, Xu Long didn’t care if he spoke out of line. He knows his boss doesn’t speak to the opposite gender, besides his lady boss. As Lu Tian’s most trusty subordinate, he needs to chase these disgusting woman away.

Qian Li Li was raging with anger. Her breathing turned rapid and her eyes glaring dagger at Xu Long. Shifting her eyes to Lu Tian, blood boiled inside her more. She could not believe that Lu Tian would actually let her go like this! He would remove her from Lu Corps all because of Han Yue Ling!

Clenching her fist tightly, she press her lips together. Without saying another word, she turns to leave the office. She swore inside her heart.

’Lu Tian, don’t blame me for what’s going to happen. It’s all your fault for choosing that slut over me!’

Watching the witch leave, Xu Long sighed in relief, "Finally, that evil vixen is gone for good."

"Don’t you have work to do."

Lu Tian’s deep voice sounds from behind his desk, making Xu Long jumped in surprise. Turning to look at his boss, Xu Long scratch his head and force a smile.

"Heh heh, I’ll get to it right away."

—————

Outside of Imperial’s busy street, Liu Shan’s black bmw parks in front of a very tall and nicely structured building.

Stepping out of the driver’s seat, Liu Shan opens the door to the rear seat. As the door open, Yue Ling steps out of the car in her dark outfit. From the other side of the car stepped out a petite Ju Suo.

With her sunglasses on, Yue Ling’s crimson red lip curls upward as she looks up at the tall building. Like a true boss, she walks in the direction of An Qing.

"Lets go watch a good show."

Her words were unreadable like her mind, but to Liu Shan and Ju Suo following behind, they could only feel the hair on their arms stand up.

How they felt a bit of pity for An Qing...

An Qing is definitely going to be in big trouble if they fail this meeting.
