Chapter 884 - Appointment To Have Lunch (2/2)

”This time, the Chief requested to meet despite the meeting has passed. His teams found a lead, but it turned out to be like all the other times. Every time we think we are a step closer to finding this man, we hit a dead end again.”

Yue Ling listened to the end and pursed her lips. She couldn't help but think about Lee Shin and the others back in City Z. During her time there, she was aware that Faith was a band in disguise for the men as they were undercover agents.

However, is it possible that the team Lu Tian mentioned from Chief Kim's side is Faith?

She slightly frowns at the thought but quickly disregards it. There was no way that it was true. Chief Kim has many subordinates, and the team in question must be different.

Having come to this answer, she pushed the thought aside and looked at Lu Tian.

”Do you need my help in finding this man?”

Lu Tian slightly turns his head to look at her and gives her a faint smile.

”I'll ask you if I reach another dead end.”

He knows that if he asks his wife for help, it will lessen the trouble finding Choi Li Sun. She has connections in the underworld, but he doesn't want his wife to be sad if someone she trusts were to betray her.

”I'm meeting with Chief Kim's team tomorrow to discuss the matter.”

Yue Ling arched her eyebrows when she heard her offer get turned down. However, thinking about his words, she slightly furrows her brows.

”The man is here in Imperial?”

Lu Tian answers with an mm, and his expression dims.

”He's a very dangerous man, and someone is keeping his whereabouts hidden.

Hearing this, Yue Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his seriousness. She can confirm from his tone that this person is threatening, but it was hard to believe hearing it from someone like Lu Tian, who is known to be merciless.

His answer also confirmed her question regarding Faith. If Qin Jun and the others were in Imperial, they would have let her know, or Liu Shan would have noticed.

As their conversation came to an end, so did the car ride.

Lu Tian parks his black Maserati Levante Trofeo in front of De L'amour. He steps out of the car and walks around the front of the hood to help his wife out.

”I'll pick you up for lunch.”

Yue Ling had only stepped out of the passenger seat when she heard his question. She looks at him with crinkles at the corner of her eyes and a smile.

”I'll see if my schedule will allow it.”

She walks away from the car after her teasing words. However, having taken only one step, she was pulled back by Lu Tian.

His arms wrapped around her without any care of anyone, let alone the intentions of letting her go.

He gazes down at her and smirks.

”Now I have to make an appointment to have lunch with my wife?”

His head leans down towards her, and he stops inches away from her.

”Are you angry because I didn't come back for dinner… or…”

He paused after his words and leaned in more until he could feel her breath on him.

”Is it because of earlier?”

Yue Ling grew flustered by the second. When she heard him mention the morning's events, her entire face turned as red as a tomato.

She had wanted to joke with him, but it all backfired. She pushes him back and strides away without answering.

Lu Tian smiles at her response. He looks at her, and before she can get too far, his arm stretches to her, and he grabs hold of her wrist.

He pulls her back to him again and places a kiss on her lip.

”I got it. I'll call your assistant and set an appointment.”

He lets her go but doesn't forget to give her another kiss. This time, on her forehead.

As he walks to the driver's side of the car, his voice sounds again before entering the driver's seat.

”You can decide where we will be having lunch.”

”…”

Yue Ling was frozen in place and could only stare at the man's shameless behavior. Her eyes followed the black car until it was no longer in sight, and she turned around.

However, she froze again when she saw Liu Shan, Qi Li, Tang Zhonghui, and Ju Suo staring her way.

Her subordinates had witnessed a scene they had become accustomed to, but each person had a massive grin on their face, excluding Qi Li.

She ignores their reaction and walks towards her company. As she passed them, she didn't forget to give each person a look as if saying,

'You saw nothing. You heard nothing.'
