Chapter 842 - Only a rookie

Lunch at Rosewood Hotel ended smoothly without any disturbances. Lu Tian, Grandfather Ji, Xu Long, and Zhong Yang enter the elevator to leave.

"How is the case with Chief Kim coming along?"

Grandfather Ji unexpectedly asks as held his hands behind his back. His question didn’t seem to surprise Lu Tian.

That is because Grandfather Ji and city 2’s Chief Kim are old acquaintances.

"I spoke with him before coming here."

Lu Tian answers without batting an eye. He stood next to the old man with eyes glued on the space ahead.

"His men are currently in Imperial, but they’re having difficulty locating the suspect. I will be flying out to City Z tomorrow for a meeting."

"I see."

Grandfather Ji nods his head in understanding. The case regarding Choi Li Sun has remained open for years now, but no one has caught the man.

Since Lu Tian is going to meet Chief Kim again, something serious must have had happened.

As he thought to himself, another thought came to mind, and he tightens his fists behind his back.

A dangerous glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. A wave of unexplainable anger boils inside of him, causing his hands to tremble ever so lightly.

Standing behind him, Zhong Yang took notice of the slight change in Grandfather Ji. He talks a small step forward and nudges the man with little effort.

Zhong Yang’s touch awoke Grandfather Ji. He glances at his assistant to let him (Zhong Yang) know that he is okay.

He then turns his head to look at Lu Tian. His hand raises, and he pats the boy’s shoulder.

"If I can be of any help. Feel free to ask. I will do the best of my capabilities."

If Grandfather Ji wanted to tell him something, he (Grandfather Ji) would. Since he didn’t, he (Lu Tian) will not pry for details.

He gives the elderly man a slight nod and parts his lips.

"Mm."

*ding

The elevator chimes in arrival and the four men made their way out of the hotel to their cars.

Lu Tian and Xu Long watched as Grandfather Ji and Zhong Yang’s car disappear from view before entering their own vehicle.

"Boss, are we heading back to the company?"

From the driver’s seat, Xu long asks while stealing a glance at the rearview mirror. Usually, he wouldn’t ask, but they were not in a rush because his boss didn’t have any meetings.

Lu Tian heard his assistant but didn’t respond. He takes out his phone from the pocket of his coat and slightly pursed his lip.

He quickly puts his phone away and leans his head against the seat to rest.

"Head back to Lu Corps. Book a flight to city Z for tomorrow."

His head slightly turns towards the window, and he doesn’t say anymore.

Xu long could only press his lips together to form an awkward smile. He thought his boss would say to stop by De L’amour to see the boss lady.

However, judging from his boss’s words, he (Lu Tian) must have a reason for not bringing it up.

Oblivious to Xu Long’s thoughts, Lu Tian stares out the window at the passing buildings.

He wanted to see his wife more than anything, but he couldn’t be selfish. She has her work to deal with as he has his own.

Yue ling didn’t ask for his help, so the only thing he can do for her is not getting in her way.

As he thought about his wife, a sudden thought crosses his mind. He abruptly sits up and takes out his phone.

"Xu Long, do you know any good photographers?"

His question took Xu long by surprise. He thought something serious had occurred. However, considering his boss’s question, he ponders with pouting lips.

"Hrmm... I do know a few, but what kind of photographer are you looking for?"

"Wedding."

Lu Tian answers without hesitation as he sends a message to his mother and Yang Yang regarding his wife’s dresses.

Their engagement party and wedding are around the corner. He should at least surprise his wife with a day, especially to capture the start of their new journey.

Xu Long inhales a loud gasp. It was as if he had heard the most shocking news of his life.

"A wedding photographer?"

"Mm. A professional one with experiences."

Lu Tian again answers while looking down at his phone while Xu long’s eyebrows furrow more together.

"Professional and has experiences. Hmm."

He (Xu Long) kept one hand on the steering wheel while his other hand pinched his chin.

Like he had thought carefully about the situation, the light bulb on top of his turns on.

"Ah, I know two people!"

He grins and looks at his boss through the rearview mirror.

"Me and Liu Shan."

"..."

Lu Tian was struck dumbfounded at what he just heard. He slowly raises his head to look at his assistant with heavy eyelids.

Seeing the confidence in Xu Long’s grinning face, the corner of his mouth twitches uncontrollably.

Maybe if it were Liu Shan alone, he would have believed it, but Xu Long too. Does he even want to ask why this is news to him?

Xu long rolled his eyes upon seeing his boss’s doubt. He focuses his attention on the road and explains.

"I’m only a rookie, but Liu Shan can be considered a professional. He’s done a few works outside of his normal workdays."

He glances at the rearview mirror again. Seeing that his boss seems to doubt him even more, he heaves a sigh inside.

"Boss, I’m serious. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Shan. No, you can ask the boss lady. She can confirm this."

Lu Tian didn’t know whether to believe his assistant or not. However, as skeptical as he is since the mention of his wife is involved, it must be true.

He ponders for a brief second, then looks down at his phone.

"I’ll give it some thought."

"What?! Why?"

Xu Long exclaims from the front seat. He had only started getting into the hobby, but Liu Shan is a great photographer. Some of the portraits inside De L’amour was photographed by him (Liu Shan).

Howerter, remember this boss’s expression full of doubt. He pursed his lower lip and looks at the rearview mirror with puppy eyes.

"Is it because YOU don’t trust us?"

Lu Tian ignored Xu Long’s face and kept his eyes on his phone.

"Focus on driving."

Being ignored, Xu long snorts a faint hmmf. He looks back at the road and decides that he will come up with a plan to convince his boss.

Lu Tian didn’t need to look at his assistant to know what the man was thinking.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Xu Long and Liu Shan. Better yet, if it’s the two of them, he would be more comfortable as he didn’t want a stranger staring at his wife.

However, what worries him the most are the poses.

God knows what kind of crazy poses the two men might suggest he and his wife do.

He ends the discussion with his mother and Yang Yang. He puts his phone away and leans back to rest his head.

Taking one last glance out the window, he closes his eyes to do some more thinking.

He really misses his wife. He will see her after working hours, but that means he will only get little time with her since he has to go to City Z.

Why can’t time fast forward so he can see her?
