Chapter 802 - The most important task (2/2)
He turns his head to Qi Li first, then to Xu Long before coming to a decision.
”Qi Li, I know you don't mind checking the front, but I need you to secure the back. Lin Hui and Xu Long will go out front.”
Given an order from someone who isn't his boss, Qi Li would usually have answered no. However, he does the opposite. He shrugs his shoulders nonchalantly and goes on with his way to get his jacket.
Lin Hui was used to taking orders from Liu Shan when his boss isn't around. He turns around to leave but stops when he thought about something. He looks back at the assistant and frowns.
”What about you?”
Hearing this, Xu Long's attention shifts from the departing Qi Li to the other assistant. His hands lift from his h.i.p.s, and he holds his arms over his chest.
”That's right. While we three are taking care of the situation outside, what are you doing?”
Liu Shan rolled his eyes at the two men's childish fussing. He points in the direction Qi Li had gone and put his other hand on his hip.
”I have the most important task. I'm going to hold it down from here and monitor you guys from behind the cameras.”
He doesn't wait to hear a response and walks away to where he had pointed. However, having taken only three steps, he stops in his tracks and turns back to look at Lin Hui and Xu Long.
Seeing that the two men weren't going to move, he heaves a long sigh then claps his hands a few times.
”Come on. Chop, chop. Time doesn't wait for anyone. Hurry up and get going before the rats outside find their way inside.”
His words fell in a demanding tone, then walks away. As his figure disappeared from the living room, Xu Long was left with his jaw hung open, and Lin Hui shook his head.
”Come on. Let's go.”
Lin Hui was the first to come back to his senses and interrupts Xu Long's dazed figure. He doesn't wait for the assistant and walks towards the front door.
He doesn't often agree with what Liu Shan has to say, but this time the man was right.
Time isn't waiting for them. Any second they spend inside the house is a given second for the people outside to make their way inside.
Xu Long finally blinked his eyes and stood alone in the empty living room. He looks around the room until he sees Lin Hui heading for the front door.
He darts after the man but doesn't forget to grab the jacket he had hung on the stair railing.
”Bro, wait for me.”
Lin Hui stops in front of the door and looks back at the assistant without responding. His left hand held the door handle, and he puts his right index finger on his lip to silence the man before speaking in a soft, quiet voice.
”When I open this door, we have to act natural. Got it?”
Xu Long zips his mouth and vigorously nods his head. He quickly puts on his jacket and gives Lin Hui a silent nod to let the man know that he is ready.
Lin Hui rolled his eyes then opens the door as he and Xu Long step out into the darkness of the night.
