Chapter 449 - If not, get lost (1/2)

”When we set out for the transfer, I volunteered to ride in the same vehicle that held Chu Li Xiang. The others followed behind with the rest of the police cars. When we reached the mountain, that was when everything started going downhills.”

Jiangyu continues to explain what happened to him and the others while transporting Chu Li Xiang to the prison. Lu Tian listened to end without saying a word even when his subordinate was done.

Seeing him so quiet, Xu Long and Jiangyu stares at the man then cast each other a glance. However, not pushing it, they decided to wait until their boss decided to speak.

After what felt like an entire day had gone by, Lu Tian slowly rise from the chair. He does not look at either of his subordinates but walks away.

Opening the door, he exits the room. However, he didn't forget to give an order to Jiangyu.

”Get some rest.”

As his figure disappears out of the room, all was silent with no sound. Xu Long and Jiangyu stares at the door and both men didn't know how to react.

Lu Tian's three words were very simple, but only the two men, knew how heart touching those words meant.

Glancing at the bulky man, Xu Long sighs inside. He has been Lu Tian's assistant for many years and has done so much more, but he has never once received any comforting words from the aloof man.

Shaking the envious thoughts away, he sighs and turn to leave too.

”Well, you heard the man. Get some rest.”

Oblivious to his two subordinates being affected by his words, Lu Tian walked back to the room his wife was in. At the same time, he couldn't help but think about Jiangyu's words.

The prison Chu Li Xiang was being transferred to is on an island far away from Imperial. It is a prison specifically built for scums like Chu Li Xiang. Only the lowest and most despicable criminals are sent there. However, in order to get there, one must drive through a mountain forest then get on a boat to cross over.

Jiangyu said everything was going well without any problems until they reached the mountain. Chu Li Xiang's men were already waiting at the top of the mountain in the forest. However, knowing that all this was a diversion, Jiangyu and the others were able to outdo Chu Li Xiang's men.

Except, thinking that they had cleared the road, they were ambushed the moment they drove down near the foot of the mountain.

The vehicle Jiangyu and Chu Li Xiang were in lost control after the driver was shot in the head. Falling down the mountain, the car was in a wreck, but Jiangyu, who barely survived the crash was able to pull him and the driver out safely.

When he forced himself to get up and get Chu Li Xiang, the vehicle suddenly blew up.

Before he could get the ringing sound from the explosion out of his head, Chu Li Xiang was already standing in front of him.

Taking advantage of Jiangyu's weaken state, Chu Li Xiang took his (Jiangyu) gun and shot his chest but missed his heart.

He told Jiangyu to give a message to Lu Tian.

'A life for a life.'

Coming out of his thoughts, Lu Tian's eyes flashed dangerously than ever before. Chu Li Xiang wanted Yue Ling dead not because of Ning Mei's bribe, but because he (Lu Tian) killed Julia.

Only, it was their child that paid the price.

From behind, Xu Long finally caught up to his boss when they reached the room Yue Ling was in. He slows down in his steps and takes a deep breath.

”Boss, the message is being deliver. What are your next orders?”

Lu Tian stops in front of the door to the private ward. He held the door handle and his deep voice sounds before entering.
