Chapter 618 Be in my thoughts (2/2)
As he put the phone near his ear, he gives Xu Long a glance in indication to hold off on the report.
”This is Lu Tian.”
Standing on the other side of the desk, Xu Long felt an inexplicable feeling rise inside him. He didn't see the name of the caller, but seeing that his boss is taking the call, it can only mean something urgent has happened.
He picks up the folder again and waits quietly for further instructions.
Seconds had already passed since Lu Tian answered the call. His frown deepens as all he could hear from the other line were incoherent words and the sound of muffled movements.
”Grandfather Ji? Can you hear me?”
[”Hurry! Get the car. The ambulance won't get here in time!”]
His words fell and he was able to hear a better response from the person on the other line. However, despite the voice sounding muffled and far from the phone, he could tell that it didn't belong to Grandfather Ji.
”Assistant Zhong?”
[”We have to get him to the hospital now!”]
The more Lu Tian listened to the call, the heavier his heart dropped to his stomach. He came to understand that the call wasn't done intentionally, but by accident.
He abruptly stood up from his seat and ends the call. There was no need to further listen on the conversation or wait for an answer. From what he head, he knows that something bad has happened to Grandfather Ji.
”Push all my remaining schedule up.”
Grabbing his suit jacket, he puts it on then place his phone in his pocket.
”Locate Grandfather Ji and Zhong Yang's whereabout.”
He gives Xu Long two orders as he grabs his car key and strides out of the room with increasing fast pace.
Xu Long was confused about what is happening, but he doesn't ask and rush out of the room. He doesn't follow Lu Tian but head for his own office as he needed to do what he was told.
The report in his hand can wait as whatever happened on Grandfather Ji's side is more important.
Lu Tian reached his car within minutes. As he was about to drive out of the parking garage, his phone rings again and he connects it to his car audio.
”Speak.”
[”Grandfather Ji's phone is still at the Ji Mansion, but Uncle Zhong is on the move. He's heading in the direction of Imperial Military Hospital.”]
Listening to Xu Long's words, Lu Tian's eyes dimmed dangerously. It was a good thing he picked up the call or else he would have regretted it later.
He swore, if someone harmed the old man, he will do everything to track this person down and make them wish they were alive.
[”Boss, should I inform boss lady about this?”]
Lu Tian had just driven out of Lu Corps' parking garage when Xu Long's voice chimes in again. If anyone deserves to know, it is his wife, but…
”No. I'll check on the situation first.”
He gives his assistant a firm answer and ends the call as he speeds through the streets of Imperial.
His wife is still recuperating, so he will go to where Grandfather Ji is and find out what happened. Once he gets an answer, he will decide whether to tell her or not.
