Chapter 950 Really done it this time
In Ye Zhongwei's bungalow's living room, Song Jing Li returned to his seat on the couch. With his hands on his knees, his head lowered as he stares at his feet.
Last night's ambush was shocking, but it was like a wake-up call for him. It was as if someone had poured cold water onto him.
This wake-up call wasn't about how dangerous this case was turning but a wake-up call on how he felt towards Lu Tian.
He had always believed that Lu Tian was a ruthless and dangerous man. Although they strive to take down evil people, especially those in the underworld, he thought the man was self-centered.
Never caring for anyone other than himself.
Yue Ling was the best woman in his eyes, and he could only see her with Shin. However, when Shin passed away, he felt no man was worthy of her.
Therefore, he didn't like that Yue Ling, who he considers his older sister, was in a relationship with the man.
Even when he saw the news of the two, he felt she deserved better, especially now that he knew she had miscarried.
However, after her lecture, he decided to see things in a different light when she came to see them.
He went back to look at the news about the couple, and only then did he realize that the way Lu Tian gazed at Yue Ling was just like Shin.
It was the look of a man who wouldn't hesitate to give his life for the woman he loves and would do anything to protect her.
He was surprised since he never thought a man like Lu Tian, known to have no emotions, could make such a sincere and soft expression.
When they were ambushed and hiding in the forest, it was just as Qin Jun said.
He thought it was the end for them. He felt that they were going to die in a foreign land without ever getting revenge.
He didn't even know why, but he called Lu Tian.
He didn't even know if Lu Tian would help them.
However, just when he thought the end was coming, he felt relieved to see the man show up.
At that moment, he knew that he had judged the man based on rumors and not by actually getting to know the person.
If Lu Tian were really cold-blooded, he wouldn't have come to help them.
Thinking this through, he slightly raises his head to look at the aloof man sitting back on the couch. It was only a quick glance as he lowered his head again.
Lu Tian would have left because he said what he needed to, but he decided to stay after Song Jing Li stopped him and Xu Long.
It wasn't because the young man apologized but because he respected Chief Kim.
Not only that, if he were to leave, he would still have to return later. So, not wanting to come back later, he made the decision to stay and discuss whatever was needed for the case.
He sat back on the couch, arms folded in front of his chest.
"I suspect there is a mole you guys missed because of the attack. The way Choi Li Sun conducts his plans, he must have ordered this person not to move until he makes contact."
When he went to City Z to meet Chief Kim, he took another look at the information gathered on Choi Li Sun.
It was detailed that Qin Jun had taken down all the moles, but he felt something strange. It was too easy, especially when dealing with Choi Li Sun.
"It's most likely that he still has one or two hidden moles in City Z."
Qin Jun didn't want to admit it, but Lu Tian was right.
After last night's ambush, he could conclude that someone had leaked their location. However, thinking about this, three lines formed between his eyebrows.
"But why? Why would he suddenly try to get rid of us now? Who could be the mole?"
He couldn't grasp what Choi Li Sun was thinking. The man had been in hiding for so long, and to suddenly lay an ambush on them was not like him.
However, despite his insides softening at the thought of his wife, his outer appearance remained indifferent.
"I found a few leads. I need to confirm them first."
He looked down at the watch on his left wrist, and seeing that it was nearing noon, he stood up from his seat.
"I'll stay on the other person. You guys find out who the mole is."
Without waiting for a response, he leaves his friend's bungalow.
Xu Long also stood up. He returned the chair to its original spot before looking back at Kira.
Once the man met his deathly stare, he flung his head with attitude and snorted a hmmf.
Kira: "..."
Left alone in the living room, Qin Jun and Song Jing Li couldn't help but feel pity for their friend.
Qin Jun stood up and left the room without saying a word. As the man disappears from view, Song Jing Li looks at his friend.
He shakes his head and places a hand on Kira's shoulder.
"You've really done it this time."
He lets out a pitiful sigh and slaps his thighs before standing up.
"Alright, we have work to do. Let's go find the rat that slipped away."
Kira's shoulders slumped at his side, and he could only cry inside as he followed the young man.
Xu Long followed his boss to the matte black Audi r8 outside the bungalow. He stops a few feet from the car and stares at his boss.
"Boss, what are your orders?"
Lu Tian doesn't look at his assistant and enters the driver's side of his car.
"Return to Lu Corps. Find a new location for them."
Xu Long nods his head in understanding. It was only natural that the three men inside needed a new location to set up their hideout.
One that Choi Li Sun cannot have access to at all.
Remembering that his boss was still working from home, he looked at the expressionless man inside the car.
"Are you going back home? Should I come to your house after stopping by Lu Corps? I can be your extra pair of eyes and hands."
Lu Tian doesn't look at his assistant but starts the engine.
"I'm going to see my wife."
He says no more and drives from his friend's bungalow, leaving his assistant alone in the driveway.
Xu Long's head followed the matte black car, and he was at a loss for words.
He has been Lu Tian's assistant for ten years, and the man has never put anything before a case. However, watching the car further into the horizon, he heaves a sigh.
"Who am I to judge a man in love?"
He walks to his car and enters before leaving the place.
While Lu Tian and the others went on with their day, Ye Zhongwei was deep in dreamland. The man remained asleep in his room with a mask covering his eyes.
All he cared about was getting his beauty sleep.
