Chapter 403 - you were late (2/2)
However, that was not the only thing, the secret backroom that held all Uncle Zhi's confidential information and valuables were all taken.
”Uncle Zhi did not want me to know about what happened since it was yeye's birthday, but I was the only person Qi Li could think of to call at the time.”
Lu Tian listened to the end. Remembering his meeting with Uncle Zhi, he found the middle-aged man to be very respectable and honest.
All the items he sold were ancient artifacts if not then very highly valuable items.
To think such unfortunate event had to happen to him.
”Did Liu Shan check the CCTVs in the area?”
Yue Ling nod her head, ”He did, but was unable to trace anything.”
The first thing they did was check the surveillance cameras within the area and a 50-mile radius from the scene. However, they were led to a dead end.
Lu Tian furrow his brows at her words. If Liu Shan was unable to find anything, then that means this person is very skilled or knows how to hide from the cameras.
”What about the security guards?”
Hearing his question, Yue Ling close her eyes and shook her head.
”One was dead at the scene while the other is now in critical condition.”
Opening her eyes, she felt sympathy for the two security guards. Although they were once thugs Uncle Zhi had come across while doing business overseas, he took them in and treated them like his sons.
The hardest thing about caring for those without families are when you lose them.
When they leave this world, no one remembers them except for the person who looked after them.
She looks at Lu Tian with a faint and apologetic smile.
”I know this might be too much to ask, but can you have your team help my team search for the culprit?”
Though she did not want to ask him, if its his team and hers working together then she knows they have a better and faster chance of finding the person who vandalized Uncle Zhi's shop.
Plus, Liu Shan may be a highly skilled hacker, but he is still one person. With Lin Hui and Xu Long working with him, she knows that all three of them will find a lead.
Seeing her apologetic smile that makes his heart ache, Lu Tian sighs inside and pinch the space between his brows.
His expression looked like one that doesn't know if he should lend a helping hand.
However, lowering his hand, he stood from the couch and walks over to the one she is sitting on.
With her sitting in the middle, he sat down at the end to her right and place his palm on her back.
”I'll have my team help search for any lead.”
Saying this, his other hand reach towards her face and held her chin. Turning her to look at him, he leans in and plants a quick kiss on her lip.
”Whatever you ask from me is never too much.”
He faintly smiles and place another kiss on her soft lips.
”Except for my heart, because it is already yours.”
”…”
Yue Ling did not once blink at the sudden kisses thrown at her. Her cheeks were already blushing red from the first kiss, however, being kissed a second time, she swore her face is probably as red as a baboon's bum!
This man is too shameless for her heart!!
Seeing her reaction, Lu Tian felt rather satisfied.
From the moment he saw her appear at the birthday celebration, he had wanted to kiss her so badly. However, he had to hold back out of respect for the elders.
Within time, their conversation soon comes to an end, Yue Ling headed up stairs for bed while Lu Tian took Inu outside to the back so the little guy can handle his business.
Lu Tian stood on the patio deck as he smoke a cigarette. Taking his phone out, he dials a number.
After four rings, the person on the other line finally answers the call as a groggy voice sound.
[”Boss, I know you miss me, but its three in the morning.”]
”…”
Hearing his assistant's voice, Lu Tian sighs inside. Even in a tired state of mind, Xu Long can still joke around with his words.
Shaking his head, his deep voice sounds.
”You're teaming with Liu Shan and Lin Hui to search for someone.”
[”Eh? Who?”]
”Someone who doesn't want to live anymore.”
