Chapter 417 family car

Through the dark underground passage that held little light, Qi Li, Gui Tian Lan and Yiqing finally reached the end.

Unlike the rotation wall of the secret room, the end of the passage led them to a simple door.

Qi Li reached to hold the doorknob and turns it. However, just as he was about to push it open, Yiqing's figure quickly dashes pass the two men and enter the light on the other side.

"Light—! I'm saved—!

"

He yells in a dry voice as his skinny figure falls to his knees and without any care, he slumps onto the floor on his stomach. Both his arms spread at his side like he was hugging the floor underneath him.

"…

"

Inside this new building that they had arrived, the rest of Alpha Team were already there waiting for them. Not only them, but so were Uncle Zhi, Jiangyu and Shaofeng.

The place was not like the inside of Uncle Zhi's dark shop. It's lighting was on point as it came from the sun emitting through one wall that was made of windows.

However, at this moment, everyone stares at Yiqing in a perplex and confused expression.

After a long moment of silence, Uncle Zhi was the first to speak. He looks at the two man still standing by the door then takes a few steps forward and stares down at the man lying on the floor.

"What happened? Why is he like this?

"

Qi Li didn't say anything but shrug his shoulders. He then walks over to a chair to sit. Behind, Gui Tian Lan's full figure comes to view and he scratch the back of his head in bewilder.

"Uh… I don't know. He was fine a second ago.

"

Taking a step inside the new place, he closes the door and furrow his brows tightly at Yiqing.

At the time, he was in the back while Qi Li and Yiqing lead the way, but they were all fine and nothing seemed to be out of place.

However…

"He's not fond of tight places, especially if it's dark.

"

From the side, Jiangyu suddenly explains about his comrade. He and Yiqing are always assigned on missions together, so he pretty much knows everything about the man.

Seated on the opposite wall, Shaofeng sighs aloud and shook his head. Everytime the man is like this, there is only one way to get him back on his feet.

He stood up from his chair and walks over to the man before squatting down.

"Yiqing ah Yiqing, everyone is watching, so get up. What happened to your so-called dignity?

"

Even though the words were spoken, Yiqing did not budge from the floor. However, that was until he heard the word 'dignity'.

As much as he is claustrophobic, he cares more about his image than anything.

His eyes shot open and is met with everyone staring back at him. His cheeks slowly burned in embarrassment and he turns his head away to the other side.

However, to his misfortune, he was met with the eyes of the people standing on this side too.

Shifting his face to the floor, he curse inside for letting himself go and slowly push himself off the floor.

As he stood up, he clears his throat while trying to act like nothing happened.

"Oh, hi guys. When did you all get here?

"

All the men shook their heads while Ju Suo and Lian Ni Shang press their lips tightly together.

Both women wanted to laugh but could only hold themselves back. They didn't want to shame the man any further.

"Alright, alright. That's enough.

"

Uncle Zhi's voice sounds as he clears his throat. He found is amusing that Yiqing is claustrophobic, especially since his personality seems to be one that has no fear of anything.

However, it's none of business. In life, no matter how strong a person is, he or she has something they fear the most.

Brushing the situation that just happened away, he looks at everyone that is now here.

"Since everyone is here, let's get started.

"

Hearing the older man's words, everyone quickly turned serious. They should start working on the plan since their two bosses have yet to arrive.

Liu Shan, who sat on a stool in front a table swiftly turns away from everyone.

Set on top of the table were three monitors he had set up with his laptop in the front.

Pressing on the power button on his laptop, not only did his laptop turn on, but so did the other three monitors behind.

On the screen of the three monitors appear multiple camera images while his laptop appeared a black screen with multiple codes.

His eyes scans each image that is recording the movements inside Uncle Zhi's shop and in the surrounding area outside.

Quickly typing in some codes into laptop, he nods his head in satisfaction and turns back to face everyone.

"Alright, all camera are rolling.

"

As their discussion advance, Yue Ling and Lu Tian arrived in another part of Imperial.

Driving into the parking lot of a restaurant, it was not any of Lu Tian's usual sports car but a black Maserati Levante Trofeo.

Inside the car, Yue Ling stares at the nice interior design. When he picked her up from De L'amour, she was astonished to see the new car.

However, after seeing Lu Tian drive so only sporty cars, she didn't know what to think when he said he bought this Maserati as their family car.

Unaware of her thoughts, Lu Tian parks the car and steps out.

He wore a fitted a black business suit with a black coat over. Closing the door, he walks over to the passenger side.

Opening the door for his wife, he held her hand to help her out of the car.

"Thank you.

"

Yue Ling's voice sounds as she steps out of the car.

She wore a long gray wool coat with a beige cashmere sweater and pleaded black skirt under.

Glancing at the restaurant, she was muddleheaded.

"Tian, why are we here?

"

Weren't they supposed to meet everyone? If so, why did they stop by here?

Lu Tian faintly chuckles at her expression as he closes the passenger door.

Gently grabbing hold of her hand, he walks her towards the building.

"It won't take long. We're grabbing lunch for everyone.

"

Hearing his words, her brows arch up and she gasps at him then to the restaurant sign.

'Elegancy'

Thinking of something, she gives him a side glance and scoffs a chuckle.

"Wow, Mr. Lu really knows how to treat his subordinates.

"

Lu Tian shrugs one shoulder with a nonchalant look. Doing so, he raise his hand holding hers and brings it closer to his lip.

Placing a kiss on the back of her hand, he looks at her with smiling eyes.

"I treat my Mrs. Lu better.

"

Yue Ling stares at the man as she felt her cheeks burn at his words. As much as she wanted to hide her smile, her lip couldn't help but curl into a soft smile.

She parts her lips to say something, but...

"Ah Tian, you're here!

"

A woman's voice sounds from ahead as it suddenly interrupts Yue Ling's unspoken words.

Both Yue Ling and Lu Tian then turn to look at the person.
