517 A mission from Ethan (1/2)

Ethan Lu leaned his back against the executive chair. He looked at Churu who was lazily rolling on the top stack of documents he has to finish.

\”What a boring life...\” As Churu interfered with Ethan Lu's concentration, she shamelessly dawdled before she landed on the next pile of documents that were a little lower in level.

\”What do you want me to do, Chacha? I have a family to support.\” Ethan Lu massaged his temples as he took a break from reviewing each document.

He was the one doing all the work and yet, by the looks of it, Churu seemed more tired than him. For Pete's sake! She did nothing but lie there and complain!

\”First of all, I'm not Chacha.\” When Churu lied her back, she turned her head back, which could make her see him from an upside-down perspective. \”Second, you have me in your system but, we would die with all these workloads!\”

\”Aya, get used to it.\” Ethan Lu responded to both of her replies. Well, he got used to calling him Chacha just because it sounded cuter. Moreover, he couldn't just ditch his work just because they were too much.

After all, he wasn't the old Ethan Lu that would run away whenever things get tough. Also, the company that he leads was huge. Hence, he needed to work extra smart and hard than most of the employees.

Just then, Ethan Lu heard a knock from outside before the door slowly opened, revealing Lyrick Jiang.

\”Master, the initial investigation of the plane crash had shown results and it was due to a technical malfunction. We were still verifying the legitimacy of it.\” When Lyrick Jiang stood in front of the CEO's desk, he tipped his glasses and reported.

\”Did they accepted our help?\” Raising his brows, Ethan Lu inquired.

Although Ethan Lu was safe from that crash, he wanted to know if it was orchestrated or not. After all, Churu was clueless about it since she just arrived when he first encountered her. Thus, she couldn't tell.

Furthermore, Ethan Lu needed to make the people behind it pay if it was intentional. His instincts had told him that this wouldn't be the first one. If he has the system, that meant it wouldn't stop there.

At the very least, he somewhat uncovered Dylan Lu's motives. Which to say, Ethan Lu had a lead and could use him to discover more— that includes his accomplices.

\”Yes,\” Nodding his head, Lyrick Jiang's demeanor was solemn. Upon hearing his master's suspicions, Lyrick Jiang executed his duty precisely.

If Ethan Lu was correct, then, Lyrick Jiang would be more merciless as he had already steeled his heart. This attack, whether it was a pure coincidence or intentional, he needed to get to the bottom of it.

\”I see.\” Ethan Lu offered a meek smile as he nodded in satisfaction. \”Anyway, do you have any idea if Uncle Den is in his office?\”

\”Alright.\” Ethan Lu stretched his lips up and nodded. With that, Lyrick Jiang bowed his head and left the office.
