As the people of Imperial carried on with their morning, inside the quiet office of Lu Corps' CEO, Lu Tian sat behind his desk. His fingers never once stopped as they type over the keyboard and his eyes glued to the computer screen.

"Boss!

"

The quietness that only had the sound of clicking was quickly disturbed by the door that was abruptly push open.

"Boooossssss—!!

"

Xu Long's voice echoes inside the room like was performing a soap opera. However, despite his voice, his expression said otherwise. He looked like he had heard the outrageous news ever.

Being interrupted, Lu Tian sighs inside and stops what he was doing. He looks at his assistant and seeing the man's face like he was in the shock of his life, he (Lu Tian) couldn't help but sigh again.

"If it's the news that's going around, I already know. No need to make it a big deal.

"

From the moment he entered Lu Corps, his employees were whispering about Yeun Biao and Ning Mei. He doesn't understand why everyone was in an uproar over the news. Anyone with a good sense of judgement can already tell that they are people with malicious intentions. Only a fool will believe them.

Unaware of Lu Tian's thoughts, Xu Long walks over to the desk until he stops. He held a folder in one hand and his other hand raise to scratch the back of his head.

"Uh… I wasn't actually singing about THAT news.

"

His head tilts slightly to the side and he puts on a thinking face that lasted for one quick second.

"I mean, neither of them deserves to be in my thoughts.

"

He had come to find his boss because he found something more important than the news surfacing about Yeun Biao and Ning Mei. Not only that, he and Lin Hui were also there when Liu Shan forward the information to the press. They even added a few words with Liu Shan on the side to help the media think of what to write.

Lu Tian stares at his assistant with his usual master supreme poker face. However, deep inside he was more dumbfounded than ever.

He shakes his head lightly and glance down to the folder in Xu Long's hand.

"What is it?

"

Hearing those three words, Xu Long's eyes couldn't help but moisten and he sounds a faint dry sniffle. Usually it was always 'speak' or 'report', but now that his boss is in love, he (Xu Long) gets a full sentence of 'what is it'. Good heavens, he hopes that conversations like this last forever.

He doesn't want his boss to return to the coldblooded man who says no more than one or two words to everyone.

Quickly straightening his spine, he takes a few more steps forward until he was one foot away from the desk. He sets the folder in his hand down and takes a small step back as if to give his boss some space.

"I found—

"

*Ring ring

Xu Long had yet to finish speaking when the phone suddenly rang inside Lu Tian's office.

Both men glance down at the office phone that was on the right side of Lu Tian's desk. However, the light that indicated an incoming call was not blinking.

*Ring ring

The ringing sound continues to echo inside the room before Lu Tian felt a faint vibration on his arm. It was coming from the pocket of his suit jacket that was hung behind his chair.

His brows slightly crease together, and he reach to take his phone out. Who could it be?

Holding his phone in hand, the ringing did not subdue. He glance down at the screen, but the second he saw who was calling him, his brows crease tighter together.

He is currently at work and this person never calls him until he is off the clock. However, as quickly as the thought came to him, his thumb slides over the screen to answer the call.

Since this person is calling him on his personal phone, it must be something important.

As he put the phone near his ear, he gives Xu Long a glance in indication to hold off on the report.

"This is Lu Tian.

"

Standing on the other side of the desk, Xu Long felt an inexplicable feeling rise inside him. He didn't see the name of the caller, but seeing that his boss is taking the call, it can only mean something urgent has happened.

He picks up the folder again and waits quietly for further instructions.

Seconds had already passed since Lu Tian answered the call. His frown deepens as all he could hear from the other line were incoherent words and the sound of muffled movements.

"Grandfather Ji? Can you hear me?

"

"Hurry! Get the car. The ambulance won't get here in time!

"

His words fell and he was able to hear a better response from the person on the other line. However, despite the voice sounding muffled and far from the phone, he could tell that it didn't belong to Grandfather Ji.

"Assistant Zhong?

"

"We have to get him to the hospital now!

"

The more Lu Tian listened to the call, the heavier his heart dropped to his stomach. He came to understand that the call wasn't done intentionally, but by accident.

He abruptly stood up from his seat and ends the call. There was no need to further listen on the conversation or wait for an answer. From what he head, he knows that something bad has happened to Grandfather Ji.

"Push all my remaining schedule up.

"

Grabbing his suit jacket, he puts it on then place his phone in his pocket.

"Locate Grandfather Ji and Zhong Yang's whereabout.

"

He gives Xu Long two orders as he grabs his car key and strides out of the room with increasing fast pace.

Xu Long was confused about what is happening, but he doesn't ask and rush out of the room. He doesn't follow Lu Tian but head for his own office as he needed to do what he was told.

The report in his hand can wait as whatever happened on Grandfather Ji's side is more important.

Lu Tian reached his car within minutes. As he was about to drive out of the parking garage, his phone rings again and he connects it to his car audio.

"Speak.

"

"Grandfather Ji's phone is still at the Ji Mansion, but Uncle Zhong is on the move. He's heading in the direction of Imperial Military Hospital.

"

Listening to Xu Long's words, Lu Tian's eyes dimmed dangerously. It was a good thing he picked up the call or else he would have regretted it later.

He swore, if someone harmed the old man, he will do everything to track this person down and make them wish they were alive.

"Boss, should I inform boss lady about this?

"

Lu Tian had just driven out of Lu Corps' parking garage when Xu Long's voice chimes in again. If anyone deserves to know, it is his wife, but…

"No. I'll check on the situation first.

"

He gives his assistant a firm answer and ends the call as he speeds through the streets of Imperial.

His wife is still recuperating, so he will go to where Grandfather Ji is and find out what happened. Once he gets an answer, he will decide whether to tell her or not.
