Chapter 770 Save you both (2/2)
”I'm trying to…. Uh…”
He answers without any second thoughts. However, he was also thinking about why the voice sounded confused and like it belongs to Xu Long.
Just as he thought this, he realized it was Xu Long's voice and his entire body froze on the floor.
His head raises in slow motion and he stares at the assistant of the coldblooded Lu Tian.
”Heh, heh…”
He forces a smile with a sarcastic chuckle.
”I was um… Where is the intruder?”
Xu Long stares down at the man with a face full of confusion. He had good hearing so when he heard something shuffling behind him, he had walked over to see what it was.
Never did he think it was going to be Lin Hui. Not only that, seeing the man crawling was even more shocking. However, thinking about the man's weird answers and questions, he frowns.
”What are you talking about? What intruder?”
”…”
Lin Hui didn't know what to do at this moment. He kept a smile, but it was a frozen one. What in the world is going on? Was everything all his imagination? What about the loud crash he heard?
He averts his gaze from Xu Long and turns his head to look at the other assistant. To his surprise, Liu Shan was also looking at him, but the man was holding pieces of broken glass in his hand.
It was at that moment that Lin Hui put everything together.
There was no intruder or broken window, it was a broken bowl.
”I…”
He stutters out one word as both assistants were staring at him as if expecting an answer for what he was going on the floor.
However, he couldn't answer them quickly as his mind was a blank space.
After what felt like an eternity had gone by, he finally found an answer. He lowers his head and scratches the floor with one hand.
”Don't mind me, I notice that Xu Long's floors were a little dirty. I'm just cleaning it.”
”…”
Liu Shan and Xu Long stare at the man in the same room as them. Neither were able to understand the man's way of thinking and doing things.
”Bro, I just mopped the floor this morning.”
”…”
Xu Long pointed out as he looks at the floor that had no spec of dirt or dust. Due to his boss's cleanliness, it became a habit of his to clean until everything is spotless.
Without raising his head, Lin Hui continues to clean the floor despite what he heard. However, with his head lowered and face unable to be seen, he squeezes his eyes shut and sobs quietly to himself.
In all his years of living, he has never cleaned any floor with his bare hands. Even in his own home.
Xu Long shakes his head at the sight of a trembling Lin Hui. He doesn't pry into why the man was cleaning his floor and looks at Liu Shan.
He parted his lips to say something but glancing down at the broken pieces of glass in the assistant's hands, he says something else.
”Well, I suppose 'that' answer my question from earlier.”
Liu Shan looks up from Lin Hui to Xu Long. He doesn't give a response right away but looks down at his hands.
”Sorry, I'll buy you a new bowl.”
He walks away from the sink to where the trash bin is and throws the glass away. He stares at the broken pieces of glass without moving back.
”And the answer to your curiosity is, yes.”
He closes the lid to the trash bin and turns his head to look at Xu Long.
”Red Moon is in a chaotic mess because they crossed the line.”
