Chapter 933 Digging Into The Past..

"You are here. Have a seat," Lu Jinhai instructed as he was going through the files.

Lu Lijun sat opposite his father and waited for him to finish his work as Yu Fan waited to get the files signed by Lu Jinhai.

Once he was done, he closed the file and talked to Yu Fan, "Get it ready in an hour."

Nodding, Yu Fan left, and Lu Jinhai looked at his son. If Lu Lijun was there on his own, that meant he was there to talk about something important.

Lu Lijun first thought to ask his father about what happened on the day of the accident and who the people were, but then he realized his father might not answer him. He decided to gather information on his own first, get the case file, and later, he will proceed with other things.

"Once, father offered me to have a separate office. I would like to have one now," said Lu Lijun.

"It’s been ready since the day you came here. You can use it whenever you want," Lu Jinhai informed him.

"Thank you, father."

"Is there anything else that you wish for?" Lu Jinhai asked.

’There are so many things I want to ask,’ he thought but said otherwise, "For now, only this much."

Lu Jinhai called for Yu Fan and asked her to show Lu Lijun his office. His office was on the same floor as the president’s office. Xiao Min and Noah had the office on the same floor too.

"This is the office," Yu Fan informed as she opened the door for him, and they entered the office.

He looked around the office, and it was according to what he liked. One could easily compare Lu Qiang’s office with the style and interiors but just a little advance as it had the latest style touch.

The similarity was there because there was not much difference in both brother’s choices. It wouldn’t be wrong to say his elder brother influenced his life.

"If there is anything, please inform me," instructing Yu Fan left.

Lu Lijun sat in the chair behind his work table. There was a laptop on his table, but he kept it aside and pulled out the one from the bag he carried with him.

The office’s laptops were connected to the server there, and Lu Lijun didn’t wish anyone to know what he was up to. Knowing San Zemin’s side, he was sure they would look into it. In his personal laptop, he could set the security.

The first thing he did was to search for every news article about his brother’s accident and any significant incidents in the business world around the same time.

Just then, he received a message from someone. It was the police officer whom he offered to get the file of Lu Qiang’s accident.

The man could get the file, and he sent it to him on the messenger. Not waiting for a moment, Lu Lijun connected it to his laptop and went through it.

In his statement, he said there was a sudden problem with the car, and it stopped at the signal. Before he could understand what happened, the accident occurred. Lu Lijun understood the driver must have said what was instructed.

Jiang Yuyan’s statement was not there, saying the survivor was mentally unstable and not in the condition to give the statement, while the other victim, Lu Jinhai, was in a vegetative state.

The truck driver’s statement was there in which he admitted his mistake of drunk and driving, and he was punished accordingly.

Lu Lijun had a list of people he needed to talk to. The car driver, the truck driver, Lu Jinhai, and Jiang Yuyan.

Out of that, Jiang Yuyan was the last option. He would ask anything.

In a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," Lu Lijun instructed.

The door opened, and Noah entered the office, "My ears sensed the news that a handsome fourth young master arrived and finally blessed this office with his royal presence."

Lu Lijun sighed and focused on his work.

"What are you working on so seriously? Do you need any help?" Noah asked as he sat in the chair opposite Lu Lijun.

"Seems like the company is paying you for doing nothing," Lu Lijun commented.

"I am giving a company to coldest man alive, isn’t it the real work? Now tell me," Noah insisted.

"It’s nothing related to work here," Lu Lijun replied.

"Then, I would love to do something out of my work," Noah countered as he could see Lu Lijun was up to something.

"I will tell you if there is a need," Lu Lijun assured.

Just then, Lu Lijun’s cell phone rang. Looking at the name flashing on the screen, Lu Lijun smirked and passed the cellphone to Noah, "I’m doing something important. Receive it for me."

Before Noah could question, the cellphone was in front of him, ringing non-stop.

That was Jake, who called. Noah picked up the cellphone as he said, "Just because you are busy."

"I know. Receive it now," Lu Lijun instructed.

Noah received the call at the last moment, "Hello."

Jake recognized the voice, "Noah?"

"Hmm."

Both hadn’t talked since the day Jake returned to England, and finally, there was a moment.

Both stayed silent for a while, and Noah broke that awkward silence, "Thanks for the gift."

Noah wished to ask why he left without even letting him know and saying goodbye just like that by writing in the note, but he chose not to.

"Did you like it?" Jake asked.

Jake wished to ask if he missed him even for a moment once he left. Did his absence make any difference in his life, or was he just a friend to him but couldn’t dare to ask.

Noah looked at Lu Lijun, who was busy working. Lu Lijun pretended not to pay attention to what they were talking about.

The atmosphere around seemed to turn serious, which made Noah feel awkward, so he changed the next moment, "How can I not like it as I chose it. You just bought it."

"True," Jake agreed and asked, "Are you settled there?"

"Yes, and when your boss is your best friend, it’s even comfortable," Noah said, and he gave Lu Lijun a teasing smile as Lu Lijun looked at him.

"Talk to him," said Noah, and Lu Lijun asked him to turn the speaker on.

The moment Lu Lijun said hello, Jake teased, "So the fourth young master is busy working."

"Yeah, on his personal project," Noah said before Lu Lijun could answer.

"Isn’t it early morning there? Did you wake up early or couldn’t sleep as usual?" Lu Lijun aksed.

"Woke up early," Jake replied.

"Sounds like a lie," Lu Lijun countered.

"You are making me regret calling you," Jake frowned, and Lu Lijun changed the topic. "How’s your work going?"

"Father gave me a few overseas projects, so I have to travel here and there," Jake informed.

"Have you started working with your father?" Noah asked as he was unaware of what Jake was doing there.

"Hmm."

"Good to know it," Noah said.

"It’s good, but now he is a busy man and wouldn’t come here to meet us whenever he wants," Lu Lijun said as he stared at Noah.

Lu Lijun’s two friends never missed the chance to annoy him, so how could he not.

"It’s okay. One needs to focus on their life. Good for him," said Noah, and Jake could hear it all.

"Didn’t your father offer you a project in China?" Lu Lijun asked intentionally.

"Hmm." Jake agreed, and Noah waited to hear further.

"Then?" Lu Lijun asked.

"I was not interested, so I rejected," Jake informed.

"I thought you want to avoid coming to China; that’s why....," Lu Lijun asked again while Noah was quiet.

"Lu Lijun, you only know how to talk when it’s about me," said Jake, "Just pray you won’t come in front of me anytime soon or...."

"Yeah. Treat that insomnia first," Lu Lijun interrupted him, and Jake hung up the call.

Noah just listened quietly to what these two said and didn’t know what to say.

"Is he not well?" Noah asked.

"Why do you think so?" Lu Lijun asked, resuming his work and not looking at Noah as if his question was not important.

"You said something about insomnia."

"Why don’t you ask him if you are that worried?" Lu Lijun countered as if he was not interested in talking.

"Jake is right. You only talk too much when it comes to him," Noah stood up and left the office.

"Idiots," Lu Lijun mumbled.

Leaving Jiang Yuyan with family, San Zemin and Xiao Min came out of the hospital where Ye Bai waited for them in the car. The two sat in the car.

"So, the fourth young master is ready to stir the trouble?" Ye Bai asked.

"Hmm, and it would be worse one if things that are buried, come out to open the wounds again," San Zemin commented.

"Only three of us know everything, and no one of us would ever tell him," said Xiao Min.

"He is smart. Don’t underestimate him," said Ye Bai.

"That’s what I am worried about. Especially the boss. I don’t want her to know what we are hiding," San Zemin added.

"It’s not just about the boss, but the other thing is there. Did you forget?" Ye Bai asked.

"I didn’t forget," San Zemin said.

"If those two things come out, I am afraid we can ever get anything back to its place," said Xiao Min.

"We need to stop him. Digging out the things would only hurt him and others," Ye Bai said, worry evident on his face.

"We will do what we can," said Xiao Min.

The three couldn’t be in peace for so long with the burden of hiding the truth, and now it looked like someone would put more weight on it.
