Chapter 744 What do you think
Liu Shan listened attentively to Qin Jun"s explanation. He never once utters a sound to interrupt the man but would nod his head occasionally. It wasn"t until Qin Jun finished that he finally mutters.
"I see, so that"s what happened."
From what he can conclude from listening to the information, whoever this person is, he or she is indeed intelligent. Always reaching the information on Choi Li Sun before any of them (Qin Jun, Kira, and Song Jing Li). However, when this person disappears, all traces of him or her followed.
Each source they went to had given the same name, but despite the name being the same, the person who showed up was different. Never once was it the person seen a second time.
Liu Shan slightly furrows his brows and toss his lollipop away. He tries to rack his brain some more and remembering something, he understood a little.
The name that Qin Jun had given him wasn"t actually a name, but more of a username.
"What do you think we should do now?"
Song Jing Li"s young voice sounds as he walks back inside the room. He had left to cool off his mind and decided to come back, but he overheard Qin Jun explaining the situation.
Casting a glance at him, Liu Shan raises his hand to stroke his chin again. However, this time, his entire being turned into a pondering old man trying to think hard.
"Hrmm…"
He spun around in the chair and looks back at the monitor screen in front of him. His eyes scan the many codes before he looks around at the other monitors.
The task he was given by them was to track this person, but just like them, he was led to a dead end. Even he found it strange at how good this person is because he has never failed when it comes to finding someone.
Just who is this mysterious person?
However, not letting his thoughts trail too far, he thought about Song Jing Li"s question.
He leans back on his seat and crosses his arms over his chest as his head turns to the left to look at Qin Jun.
"If you"re wondering what I think you should do, I would say, to ask Lu Tian for help."
Hearing his answer, Song Jing Li"s eyes lit up with hope. If they do as Liu Shan says, there is a possible chance he"ll get to see Yue Ling again. Even if it is from afar and he has to hide from her, it was better than not seeing her at all.
However, just as the young man"s hopes were about to reach the sky above, Qin Jun"s words shattered everything.
"No, asking for his help will only reveal our position and purpose for being here to her."
He (Qin Jun) spoke with an authoritative tone with eyes staring at Liu Shan almost in a glare. He made sure his voice wasn"t too loud but enough to let the others know that he has the say in everything.
To which, Song Jing Li and Kira couldn"t help but hold in their breath as neither didn"t want to anger the man. s.h.i.+n was the leader of Faith and gave out orders, but since his death, the position had been pa.s.sed to Qin Jun.
Unfortunately, their way of doing things was of no concern to Liu Shan. He scoffs a sarcastic chuckle and thought the man was getting a little too worked up.
"You know whether you reveal your position or the reason why you"re here is of no concern to me. I"m only stating my opinion."
He s.h.i.+fts his attention back to the monitor screens then slightly tilt his head. Excluding the monitor screen he had been working on, the rest had been hacked into Imperial"s surveillance cameras and was broadcasting everything happening around them.
"Lu Tian has people all over the world. Without a doubt, he will be able to solve this problem in a jiffy."
His words fell and he no longer felt like staying anymore. He stood up from his seat and glance down at the man to his left.
"If this is all, I"m going to excuse myself and go enjoy my weekend."
Knowing they can"t ask Liu Shan to stay, no one said a word. Not even a goodbye. They didn"t know what to say because they had called to ask for his help, but when he suggested, they didn"t take it. Well, Qin Jun wouldn"t listen.
Qin Jun looks up at Liu Shan"s departing figure. Something inside him wanted to ask how Yue Ling is doing, but his fingers curled into a tight fist and he held himself back.
He is in no position to ask this question.
While Qin Jun decided to keep quiet, Song Jing Li felt otherwise. He strides after the a.s.sistant and without any care about the other two men.
It was something he had been eagerly waiting to know ever since Kira returned from Glory after meeting Liu Shan.
"Shan, wait."
He called out and grabs Liu Shan"s arm to stop him from leaving. His eyes tremble for a quick second, but he steadies himself and asks.
"H-H-How is she… how is noona doing? Is she happy? Is Lu Tian really good to her as you said?"
Suddenly being stopped, Liu Shan sighs inside at the frantic questions thrown his way. He slightly shook Song Jing Li��s hand away and turns around to face the three men.
His eyes scan each person one by one them he felt perplexed at how to answer the questions. However, it was only for a short second when he answers.
"Like I told Kira, you guys don"t have to worry. Lu Tian is good to her. I hate to admit it, but maybe even better than s.h.i.+n did."
Hearing his words, all three men felt relief but at the same time, there was a small p.r.i.c.kling stab at their hearts.
They have known s.h.i.+n for a long time. Way before Yue Ling entered his life, and they know that s.h.i.+n loved her more than life itself. Everything he did, he would always consider her feelings.
Each time they had to go undercover in the underworld, they could see the determination in him to make it back. It was all so he could return to her side.
Even when he was severely injured, he would tell her that it was a small pain. She would lecture him, and he would calmly sit there while listening to her like he was listening to music.
As she was his muse and life.
Qin Jun remained in silence as his thoughts drifted to that dreadful day. Even when s.h.i.+n was nearing death"s door, he didn"t think about himself but her.
"That"s good. s.h.i.+n wanted her to be happy. Since she has found it, we are also happy for her."
A soft smile curls on his lip and he looks up at Liu Shan, who stood across the room from him.
"I"m relieved to hear that she is doing well since her move to Imperial."
When Kira returned that night, he had been worried about what Liu Shan said. However, hearing directly from the man, he can now rest a.s.sure that Lu Tian will not harm her in any way.
Liu Shan stares at Qin Jun without batting an eye. He kept his thoughts to himself like they were confidential information. His left arm raises, and he places his palm on the back of his nape. He rubs it three times before forcing a soft chuckle.
"Yea, I guess you can say she is doing well here."
It was a simple gesture, but the minute, Qin Jun, Kira, and Song Jing Li saw it, their eyes dimmed dangerously.
They have known the a.s.sistant long enough and like the saying goes "old habits die hard" because what Liu Shan did was something that never changed.
When he feels entangled on whether to speak the truth or lie, he would rub his nape three times.
Qin Jun stares at Liu Shan with sharp daggered eyes that could pierce through a person"s soul. His demeanor changes and he growls through gritted teeth.
"The truth, Shan."
