Li Wei and Uncle Zhi stood at the door with arch brows. They had just arrived at the computer room and did not expect to see this kind of scene.
Why did it look like Xu Long and Lin Hui had aged since the last time they saw them?
However, seeing the many monitor screens, Li Wei could already guess what might have happened. He touch his chin and clears his throat in an almost cough.
"In here seems more intense than down there."
A chuckle sounds from his mouth and he walks over to an empty chair to sit. Glancing at the aloof man standing, he grins ear to ear.
"I need to discuss something with you."
Lu Tian stares down at the man in silence. He wanted to leave this room and find his wife. She had just been discharged from the hospital and despite her constant rea.s.surance that she is fine, he still needs to be cautious.
Glancing to one of the monitor screens, he sees his wife sitting down on a couch with Qin Yi and Fei Tao on the opposite ones.
s.h.i.+fting his eyes away, he sits back down. Since Li Wei has something to tell him, it must involve with Chu Li Xiang.
"Make it quick."
Li Wei sarcastically scoffs in disbelief. He has known Lu Tian since the man took over Lu Corps, but he does not know this person. When did the infamous business king suddenly turn into someone who likes to eat vinegar?
Standing by the door, Uncle Zhi did not stay to hear what Li Wei needed to say. He looks at Xu Long then Lin Hui. Seeing how pitiful they looked, his head lightly shook as a small smile curls on his lip before leaving out the door.
It is so nice to be young and energetic.
Xu Long stares up at the ceiling and he thought to himself. Since he is already laying on the floor, there"s no need to get up. He place his hands behind his head and close his eyes.
"Xu Long."
Suddenly, Lu Tian"s deep voice sounds causing him to abruptly sit up. He looks at his boss then to the leader of White Tiger. The corners of his lips tremble upward, and he looks left then right.
"What? That"s so strange, how did I get on the floor? Hm?"
Holding onto his chair with one hand, his other hand scratch the back of his head. Moving his hand to cover his mouth, he sounds a few coughs to hide his embarra.s.s face.
Sitting on the swivel chair, he looks away from the two man to the monitor screens. As he turned, he curse inside for doing such thing. It"s no wonder he doesn"t have a girlfriend.
Lu Tian stares at his a.s.sistant and he didn"t know whether to laugh or cry. The same question he always ask himself appears in his mind as he still wonder how Xu Long became his a.s.sistant.
However, brus.h.i.+ng it aside, he looks at Li Wei who sat not too far from him.
"What is it?"
Li Wei was staring at Xu Long in amus.e.m.e.nt. He found the man to be very interesting as he is a goofy person at times but can also become serious other times too.
No wonder Lu Tian keeps such a person at his side. Being a cold and ruthless person, with Xu Long"s personality around, the mood can surely be lifted.
Hearing the man"s question, Li Wei s.h.i.+fts his gaze to Lu Tian and his expression turned serious.
"I found information about Chu Li Xiang"s ongoing trafficking business."
Since Yue Ling and Lu Tian said they didn"t need his help, he really did mind his own business. However, the same day he left the hospital after seeing them, he by chance ran into some of Black Dragon"s men kidnapping a young woman in broad daylight.
In the process of witnessing this, he and Chun Hua followed the men to save the young woman.
He knew these men were from Black Dragon because each member is tattooed with the symbol of a black dragon on the back of their hand. It is always between the thumb and the pointer finger.
When he saw this, he found it strange that Chu Qiang who is always against trafficking would actually allow his own men to commit such crime.
However, as they arrived at an abandon warehouse in the outskirts of Imperial, it was then that he realized these men were not Chu Qiang"s but Chu Li Xiang"s.
He thought Chu Li Xiang would be hiding in the warehouse, but the longer they observed the place, it revealed that the place is actually where they were holding the woman captive.
To his shock, it wasn"t only one woman but approximately twenty or thirty other women that were already captured inside.
As much as he wanted to burst in and save all the women inside, it was still only him and Chun Hua. If they entered, there"s a possibility that they won"t be able to escape and give this information to Lu Tian and Yue Ling.
Recapping the entire story, Li Wei heaves a long sigh before he scoffs a sarcastic chuckle at himself.
"To think I am the leader of White Tiger, but I couldn"t even help them."
As a notorious figure in the underworld, he never bat an eye when it comes to killing someone. Yet, he couldn"t even save some women who were either going to be sold off somewhere or going to be killed.
Lu Tian listened until the man finished. Ever since he took over Lu Corps and started dealing with those from the underworld, he became friends with Li Wei.
Despite the difference in their background, they were still like brothers and got along well.
He knows that Li Wei is someone who will not sit by and watch an innocent person get bullied. He also knows that Li Wei is blaming himself for not saving the women.
"You followed them and found out where their business is."
Lu Tian turns to the monitor screens and looks at the one that showed his wife in a room.
"Send your men to keep an eye on the place. Find out when they are going to transport the women and who their business partner is."
Hearing his words, Li Wei nods his head in understanding.
"I"ll have my men secure the place in secret, but what are you planning to do?"
Lu Tian kept his eyes on his wife. He couldn"t help but smiles a very unnoticeable smile.
"Whatever my wife says."
Li Wei"s brows slightly furrow for a quick second. He stares at the man as he did not understand Lu Tian"s words. However, following his (Lu Tian) gaze, he finally caught on.
If anyone can come up with a marvelous plan, it is only Yue Ling. She is someone who is not afraid of death and has cheated death many times.
Even some of the notorious gangs in the underworld vanished into thin air because of her.
"Chu Li Xiang is really asking for death."
Lin Hui"s voice sounds from the side of both men. He was still sitting but no longer facing the window. His head shook with a sigh.
"Not only is he kidnapping people now, but he also wants Black Dragon. He really has no idea who he is up against."
A chuckle escapes his lips as he found Chu Li Xiang"s plans to be hilarious. Standing up from his chair, he walks towards the door to leave.
"If my boss ask for me, tell her I went for a smoke break."
Li Wei stares at the subordinate walk out of the room and he ponders in thought.
What Lin Hui said is true. Chu Li Xiang thinks that it is only Lu Tian who he is up against. However, little does he know, he is also up against Fate and no one has ever escaped the moment their fate is to be collected.
