As Lin Hui and Liu Shan continue to tease Xu Long about the man's poor acting performance, Yue Ling sees Qi Li walking back to join them.

However, seeing that it was only line, she couldn't help but ask.

"Where is Gui Tian Lan?

"

Qi Li joins the group and shrug his shoulder,

"He went with Detective Zhi. He said he wanted to make sure nothing happens to her on the way since she has the proof of Chu Li Xiang's escape.

"

Hearing the explanation, Yue Ling nod her head in understanding. Zhi Yilan had arrived here by herself, so it was better to have to someone go with her to the police station.

Besides, she knows Gui Tian Lan and trusts that he will protect her if anything were to happen along the way.

After all, they might have taken care of the situation on this side, but there might be more of Chu Li Xiang's men lurking in the distance.

Thinking this, she turns to look at Lu Tian and she smiles to him.

"Should we start cleaning?

"

Liu Shan who was laughing with Xu Long and Lin Hui hears her question and before Lu Tian could answer her, he spoke first.

"Boss, I already called Manager Luo. He and his clean up team are on their way.

"

Yue Ling arch a brow at her assistant before heaving a sigh and nod her head.

"Seems like we'll have to trouble Uncle Luo again.

"

The old man is a very busy person and already has to take care of Jade Condos despite his old age. He was even involved when she was attacked at her penthouse.

Of course, she doesn't want to get him involve again but it's a good thing Liu Shan called him.

If anyone can clean a crime scene spotless, Manager Luo is the person to hire.

However, they should at least help clean a little since the man and his team has not arrive.

She looks at Lu Tian and part her lips to say something, but before she could utter a sound, the man beat her to it.

"I'll stay here and wait. You leave first.

"

He already knew what she was going to say and knows that once she says it, she will become stubborn and not take back her words. Thus, he had to say it first.

She is pregnant and needs to rest since its already very late into the night. As her man and husband, he will only allow this time that she is staying out late, but there will be no next time.

Making his decision, he looks at Liu Shan, Lin Hui and Qi Li.

"Make sure she gets home safely.

"

All three men glance at one another, then back to the man, then to their boss. Who were they supposed to listen to?

One is their boss who has called all the shots for many years. However, the other one is the man who is only thinking about their boss's safety.

Yue Ling stares at the man with her mouth opening and close. She wanted to refute his words but was unable to say anything.

Judging from the looks of it, her three subordinates have been put in a tight spot.

She raise her hand and pinch the space between her brows to think about what she should do.

As much as she wanted to stay and wait for Uncle Luo, she knows that Lu Tian's stubbornness is a match to hers. However, he spoke first, so she will respect his decision.

Besides, she should at least depend on him since they are each other's backbone.

She lowers her hand and looks up at the man,

"I'll go home first, but if anything is wrong, you have to call me right away.

"

Turning to her three subordinates, she smiles a nod as if saying she was ready to leave.

All three men nod their head and turn to leave. However, each person did not forget to give the other a serious expression like they were about to handle the most important task in their life.

Liu Shan walks in a direction to retrieve his car that he had parked a few blocks away from Uncle Zhi's shop. At the same time, Lin Hui and Qi Li headed in the opposite direction.

Although they were tasked to walk everyday to Uncle Zhi's shop, they still rode their motorcycles and parked it in an underground parking lot not too far away.

Watching the three men leave, Xu Long's eyes welled up with tears. His lower lip slightly trembles, and he sounds a sniff.

"T-They did even say bye to me… Haters.

"

He wipes his tears and without waiting for Lu Tian to give him an order, he stomps his feet in the direction of Uncle Zhi's shop.

Yue Ling stares at the assistant and she couldn't help but chuckle. Earlier they were acting like a bunch of kids fighting over candies, but now that they were splitting up, it was like Xu Long was never going to see them again.

Shaking her head, she sees Lian Ni Shang and Shan Sinan headed in her direction.

Thinking about something, she takes a step forward and walks over to meet the two people.

"Lian Ni Shang, Shan Sinan, can I trust you both to stay here and help assist the situation?

"

Hearing her order, neither person objected but nod their head in response. Even though the situation has been cleared of the enemy, they cannot let their guard down.

Given her order, Yue Ling turns to look at the aloof man who did not move from his spot. She sighs a smile to him and like two people understanding each other's mind, Lu Tian walks over to her.

"Ready?

"

Yue Ling answers a faint 'mm' and reach her hand to hold his. Both individuals then walked shoulder to shoulder in the direction of Uncle Zhi's shop to the front.

As they made their way inside the empty shop, Yue Ling tightens her grip on the man's hand. She couldn't help but suddenly have this uneasy feeling inside. Something didn't seem right.

At the same time, Lu Tian also felt that uneasy feeling he hated come back. He can't put his mind to what it is, but maybe it's because they haven't heard from Jiangyu and the rest of the team.

"Tian.

"

"Yue Ling.

"

Thinking about the same thing, both Yue Ling and Lu Tian looks at each other and spoke at the same time.

Yue Ling was indeed caught by surprise. The corners of her lip arcs up and she chuckles.

"You go first.

"

Lu Tian also couldn't help but smile with her. However, instead of doing as she said, he shook his head.

"My ears are meant to listen to you.

"

"…

"
