Chapter 1002: Are You Lonely? (1/2)
”Which motherfucker has been sniffing around Jinjing?” Lu Zihao growled.
Shun looked down to avoid his boss' murderous eyes, but overall still managed to remain calm despite the malevolent aura filling inside the car. After all, Shun was a specially-recruited member of Shadow Winds. Other than the paparazzo, all the members of Shadow Winds had top-notch skills in their respective fields of expertise. They could be considered elite of the elites, if not for their tainted histories. Under Lu Zihao's brutal but highly effective training regimen, they could only become stronger.
”Robin said that it's the German guy,” Shun said.
”German?” Lu Zihao thought for a moment before an image of a white man flashed in his mind. ”Alric Bauer? Orchidia Beauty's CPO?”
”Yes, Boss Hao. That's the guy.”
”Keep talking.”
”I don't know the specific details because it was Robin who saw them during her shift but she told me that Alric Bauer is always approaching Miss Jinjing and the two of them end up talking for a long time. Robin also mentioned that today after work when Miss Jinjing was about to go home, that Bauer guy stopped her and talked to her again.”
Lu Zihao's expression was extremely twisted at this moment. ”What did they talk about?”
”I…don't know.”
”Why the hell you don't know?!”
”Sorry, Boss Hao. Robin is not skilled in lip reading, so she won't be able to know what they're talking about while watching them from a distance. Don't worry, Boss. I'll switch shifts with her. I can read lips, although I'm not 100% accurate.”
”Do it.”
”Understood, Boss.” Then Shun hesitated.
”Speak.”
”How about…we plant bugs on Miss Jinjing? That way we'll be able to have clear audio recordings of her conversations with other people.”
Lu Zihao fell silent and seriously thought about Shun's suggestion. In the end, however, he shook his head. ”No. She'll be upset if we do that.”
”But she won't know that we planted the bugs on her.”
He reconsidered it but still shook his head. ”Jinjing won't know but it's easy for my sister to detect planted surveillance devices. They're friends…and also sisters, so they meet quite regularly, not to mention that Jinjing works at my sister's company as well. No bugs can go unnoticed by my sister.”
Shun had no choice but to give up on his suggestion.
”Go home,” Lu Zihao said all of a sudden. ”I'll take over the watch tonight.”
”But Boss, I can still—”
”I said go home.”
Shun obeyed and left.
Alone in his car once again, Lu Zihao stared at the condo building. This lasted for about half an hour before his restlessness became almost unbearable. He gritted his teeth and desperately worked on his self-control but to no avail. Thus, he made a decision.
”Bacon.”
This time, his AI nephew didn't appear immediately upon being called. Lu Zihao waited, feeling impatient as the seconds ticked by. Around the one minute mark, the black cat finally appeared on his dashboard monitor.
