He was furious, he couldn"t name the emotions he was feeling. He felt conflicted and betrayed.He thought they were true to each other. He had no name for their relations.h.i.+p but he wasn"t fake or unjust to her like she was to him.
The thought flared his anger like fuel incited fire. He connected his fists on the front wall consecutively till his fists bleed.
He glared at all the left ruins of his empires" brick stones.
At the same time, he heard the loud knocking on the door. He didn"t answer, his rage reaching peaks. The knockings continued and became rather fiercer.
"What the f*ck is it?!" Finally reaching his limits he shouted.
Ji Zhou entered the office room with hesitant steps. He looked at the trashed office and grimaced. He hadn"t heard anything due to the soundproof walls.
He looked at the bleeding knuckles and wanted to help but it wasn"t a wise thing to do so stayed rooted. Their Master especially hated anyone"s touching his wounds.
He was surprised but not astonished or blown off his senses. His Master had a knack for bringing people on edge and provoking and manipulating them to the point of insanity, he found amus.e.m.e.nt in it.
Call him a s.a.d.i.s.tic but it was what it was.
He had been working here for years and he had never seen his Master"s composure break much less do this but since the insolent girl had arrived in his life, he had been doing things he never did before.
So, novelties didn"t astonish him anymore.
He looked up to see Li Yaun giving him a murderous look, he gulped.
"Si...Sir, the investigations you ordered have arrived."
Li Yaun scoffed and turned the chair that hadn"t fallen from his outburst. He indicated his hand to him to go on.
"...Sir, the Black Panther had been active in The Dragon"s since the year 1993. She was trained in their a.s.sa.s.sin"s Department. She has expertise in Martial Arts. She had a rate of 78% success. No kin and..."
Taking a pause, he continued, "... And she had been overseas on a mission since last month.����
Li Yuan who was rubbing his throbbing temples looked up at that.
He smirked in a lethal way and waved his hand as a sign for him to go on. He could tell the spicy grilled gossip was still on the way.
"And?"
a.s.sistant Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Sir, you were right. The guards stationed at the Lu Mansion affirmed that she left the house yesterday night and returned late night."
Hearing that Li Yaun brows raised in surprise. He could sense the wilderness and potent of rebellion on her but this was a lot to imagine for a protected princess.
"They did follow her as instructed but they lost track of her. And Sir... Ms. Lu was riding on a heavy Harley"s Motorbike. We still don"t have anything concrete to prove Ms. Lu was pretending to be Panther last night but our theories that whoever was pretended to be Panther had a hand in Viper death is certain."
The situation was jumbled and messy. They couldn"t prove anything and weren"t sure of anything either.
Lu Xinyi had nothing to gain from Viper"s death., h.e.l.l! She shouldn"t even know such a soul exists and the test result showed that he died from excess blood flow from the stimulant he took.
The thread they are hanging from was that he saw the masked woman who looked like her.
Either there is a missing piece here or the woman was just a look-alike and freaked out because she was confronted by him and had heard of his reputation otherwise the pieces didn"t add up together at all.
But why would a woman who looks like his fiancé pretended to be Panther? That also at night of Vipers" death!
"Keep the search going I want a convincing story soon!"
"Yes Sir."
Li Yuan took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it by holding it between his lips. Nothing could relieve him better than alcohol but it was too early to drink.
"Sir, should we send our developments to Young Master Yu w.a.n.g?"
"Not our sh*t to scrub, we watch from the bleachers."
a.s.sistant Ji bowed at the command at once. He was about to leave when he remembered an important occasion.
He wasn"t sure if something occurred between Lei Xinyi and Li Yaun but he could take a lucky guess by looking at the trashed room that it had something to do with her.
"Sir, about the Lunch Date...?"
"Cancel it."
"And Sir if Ms. Lu comes here for lunch..."
Li Yaun gave out a sarcastic chuckle, "I can bet on my life she wouldn"t. Cancel all my meetings today I have had enough bullsh*t for a day."
a.s.sistant Ji was about to leave when Li Yaun called him behind.
"And get this cleaned up." Saying this he stood up to leave the office.
"RING...RING!!"
Li Yuan office phone rang, he looked at a.s.sistant Ji who immediately understood.
He went to the receiver that was on the floor and picked it up.
"Sir, Ms. Su Qianwei is asking for entry in the office."
Li Yaun ran a hand in his hair and closed his eyes for a moment. He was about to decline when a thought struck.
Li Yaun smirked and turned to a.s.sistant Ji, "Tell her to stay there, I am coming."
"Yes, Sir."
