This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Once they left, Jake asked, "Are you fine, Lijun?"

Lu Lijun nodded and heard Noah, "What was that man talking about your brother?"

"We will talk about it later," Lu Lijun said as he walked to go out and the other two followed him. Lu Lijun stood outside where a cold breeze helped him get calm, and he asked Jake, "Do you have cigarettes?"

Jake nodded and went to get it from his car. Noah looked at him in amazement as to why Lu Lijun had asked him only and why Jake had cigarettes.

Jake brought it for him and passed one to Lu Lijun and got one for himself.

"Wait, since when did you start smoking? Is there any smoking contamination going on that everyone is smoking these days?" Noah asked.

Lu Lijun didn't react while Jake asked, "Do you want it?"

"If you two are….then how can I not…" he grabbed the cigarette from Jake, "We three always did everything together so how can I be left behind."

Cough!

Cough!

Noah coughed at a single puff only, "What the heck…I thought it would be easy..Cough!.."

Jake smiled and said, "You don't have to rush when you haven't tried it. Do it like this."

When this teaching session was going on, Lu Lijun was still busy in his thoughts while smoking silently.

"What do you plan to do now, Lijun?" Noah asked.

Lu Lijun threw away the remaining cigarette bud and crushed it under his foot, "What else. Need to go back to the office and work."

He walked towards the car and Noah followed him, "True that. We can not forget our work."

Jake went to them, "See you guys later."

His two friends left while Jake went to handle his work.

Lu Lijun reached his office where Xiao Min was busy working but at the same time was waiting for Lu Lijun to return.

Once he got to know the two friends were back, Xiao Min went to their office, "Fourth Young Master." He greeted Lu Lijun who was ready to start his work.

"How did it go?" Xiao Min asked.

"Nothing to worry about," Lu Lijun replied, not willing to explain in detail.

Xiao Min looked at Noah who replied, "Well nothing went well for those two and they got what they deserved. Soon they will be transported back to their homes."

Xiao Min felt relieved that his fourth young master didn't get blood on his hand and spared those two. Though Xiao Min would not have felt bad if those two had died and instead would have liked it but Lu Lijun was more important than anything and he didn't wish Lu Lijun to murder someone even though it was out of revenge.

"Where is Yuyan?" Lu Lijun asked.

"Boss is still out with her brother," Xiao Min replied.

Lu Lijun only hummed in response and continued work. Just as Xiao Min was about to leave, Lu Lijun spoke, "I need a file about the person from the USA who was involved in elder brother's murder."

Xiao Min stopped in his tracks and looked at Lu Lijun. "May I know the reason?"

"I love collecting information about random people these days," came the sarcastic reply from Lu Lijun.

"Everything had been taken care of by boss in the past. I believe there is no need to bring back those things. It will only disturb the peace."

"I know what I am doing," Lu Lijun countered, "And I believe you will do so or I have my ways to get it."

Xiao Min still looked reluctant.

"Victor Magnus, isn't it the name?" Lu Lijun said.

It shocked Xiao Min as he was sure that they had made sure that this name would never come out if anyone had to investigate it again.

"How do you…."

Lu Lijun looked at him, "I expect to get it soon."

Xiao Min nodded and left.

By the evening, Jiang Yang and Jiang Yuyan were on the way back home after their lovely date. In the car, Jiang Yuyan was silent while sitting leaning back in the seat and looking outside in a daze.

"What are you thinking about, Yuyan."

Jiang Yuyan looked at her brother, "Brother."

"Hmm?"

"Though I was angry and I said I won't forgive them, when they apologized, I felt good somewhere."

Jiang Yang smiled, "That's good."

"It was as if I was waiting for it. I wished them to realize what wrong they had done. Though I will never forgive them even if they apologize to me millions of times, still that apology matters to me. That sorry word felt like the most precious word I ever wanted to hear. I think I feel better now."

The two smiled looking at each other.

"I think this was the best day that we had spent together," Jiang Yang said.

She agreed and heard her brother, "I guess after this all your dates will be with someone else. I can be just happy with this one."

She didn't deny it, "I look forward to it but that cold guy, I need to wait for him to return to his usual self."

"He will."

-----

It was late in the night when Jiang Yuyan was waiting for Lu Lijun to return while standing in the garden.

"Are you not going to have your dinner?" Jiang Yang asked.

"I will wait for him."

"He must be busy working and might not like it if you skip your meal."

"We ate a lot outside, that I am not hungry anyway," she countered.

"You don't need to worry about him. Even Lu Feng was worried and delayed his return to China. He is not a kid now. You two should stop worrying about him.

Just then a car entered the gate and stopped. Jiang Yuyan felt relieved to see the car as she knew Lu Lijun was finally back.

"See he is back," Jiang Yang spoke while Jiang Yuyan only waited for Lu Lijun to step out of the car.

Noah stepped out but Lu Lijun didn't.

"Is he not back yet?" Jiang Yuyan said and walked towards the car.

She was about to straight walk towards Noah and ask where Lu Lijun was but just then the other side of the door opened and a sleepy man with messy hair stepped out of the car while holding the jacket of his suit.

Jiang Yuyan observed him. He looked exhausted and seemed like he was sleeping in the car. Clearing his gaze, he looked at the woman who was looking at him. He felt like all the exhaustion was gone and walked toward her.

"Lu Lijun…."

Before she could say or ask anything, he hugged her.
