Chapter 792: Don't look at me

Chapter 792 - Don't look at me

Lu Tian stares across the table at the man laughing sarcastically. He held a blank expression with no traces of emotion. However, the look on his face was enough to tell someone to stop beating around the bush.

And that is precisely what Lin Hui does.

"Alright, alright."

Lin Hui cease his laugh and stuck his palms out like he was trying to calm down a crazy crowd. He knows that Lu Tian isn't one to joke around with.

"I'm not laughing at the proposal for the house, nor do I find it funny."

He looks down at the blueprints scattered over the foldable table. Pointing to each place that is being currently worked on, his words continue.

"Escape doors, traps, hidden passages, safe rooms, weapon vaults, everything you can think of, it's all here."

His lip purse at his last word, and he crosses his arms over his chest.

"With this tight security on the premises, one would definitely feel safe, and anyone who tries to enter will be stupid for stepping into their death."

Lu Tian's expression turns into a silent frown while Jiangyu stares with a distraught expression at Lin Hui. He (Jiangyu) suddenly felt the urge to punch Lin Hui because the man was still beating around the bush.

However, not wanting to get n his lady boss's wrong side, he inhales a deep breath to calm his itchy hands.

"Okay, and your point is?"

Lin Hui rolled his eyes at the bulky man. He unfolds his left arm and points to the house without turning around to look.

"My point is, even with all this security, do you really think my boss will use it? Like seriously, if you were to place a latter in front of her to climb down the window, I'm quite sure she will choose to jump."

His words fell, and he suddenly thought about something that happened in the past. He snorts a laugh as he tries not to laugh aloud.

Glancing at Lu Tian and Jiangyu, he sees that the two men looked at him like an idiot for laughing out of nowhere. He clears his throat and lowers his left arm to join with his right arm that is still crossed over his chest.

"Don't look at me like I'm crazy."

He takes a small step closer and grins at the two men across from him.

"This one time, an arrogant teenager snuck inside Fate. His intentions were to steal anything valuable, but he was caught by my boss on the third floor. Afraid of being thrown in jail, he bolted down the stairs thinking he could outrun her since he was younger. However, little did he know, she didn't chase after but jumped down from the window. The moment he exited the way he entered, she was already standing outside."

Remembering the past occurrence, Lin Hui couldn't help but laugh with a slight shake to his head.

"Even to this day, that boy still shivers when he thinks back to it. He said he thought he had died while running and was meeting the grim reaper."

He will never forget how scared that boy was. It was to the point he almost wetted himself when he saw Yue Ling. Of course, he can't add this part to the story because he swore to never tell anyone.

Jiangyu was dumbfounded when he heard the story. He stares at Lin Hui with heavy eyelids like someone had tried to tape his eyes closed.

"Let me guess that boy was you?"

Lin Hui abruptly stops laughing when he heard Jiangyu's words. He looks at the bulky and tall man with squint eyes. His expression as if saying Jiangyu had guessed correctly.

"Of course!!"

However, in a split second, he burst into another hysterical laughter and held his stomach.

"Of course, that boy wasn't me!"

He held his stomach with one hand and raised his other hand to point in a particular direction.

"It was Tang Zhonghui."

His raised hand moves to his eyes, and he wipes away any tears.

"Only an idiot would be caught by my boss."

"…"

Jiangyu stares at Lin Hui and felt he had been dumbfounded by the man too many times. For a second there, he thought the boy in the story was Lin Hui.

Usually, when a person tells a story, it is about themselves, but this story was not what he had expected.

The longer he stares at the man laughing, he felt curious about how all Fate members came to meet his lady boss, even his little monkey. Since their relationship bloomed, he hasn't asked her how she became a member of the underworld.

Should he ask her when he sees her later?

However, as the question came to his mind, he quickly pushes it aside.

If Ju Suo wanted him to know, she would have told him. So, for now, he'll patiently wait.

With this in mind, he turns his head to the right, and he stares at the young man Lin Hui had mentioned.

A few feet away from the table, Tang Zhonghui was currently working alongside Liu Shan and Xu Long. Suddenly feeling an itch in his right ear, he scratched it and frowns.

"Hm, that's odd. Why is my ear suddenly itchy?"

He purses his lip, and his frown deepens the more he thinks to himself.

"Is someone talking about me?"

Just as he mumbled the question, his eyes shot open, and he darts his head in the direction of the perpetrator.

Meeting Jiangyu's eyes and dumbfounded expression, his nostrils flare, and he inhales a deep breath full of rage and embarrassment.

"Lin! Hui! You bastard! Are you telling that story again?!!"

Hearing his name called, Lin Hui turns his head back to look at the technical designer. He raises one hand to pick his ear and stuck his tongue out at Tang Zhonghui.

"Don't worry, I'm just trying to help you become famous."

Across from where Lin Hui stood, Lu Tian and Jiangyu felt an unexplainable feeling rise in them. The corners of both their mouth twitched from time to time, and they thought the same thing.

How in the world is the woman of their life able to work with a man like this?

Thinking about his wife, Lu Tian was the first to suppress his emotions. He looks down at the scattered blueprints then raises his head to the window that belongs to his wife's closet room.

He thought about what Lin Hui said, and he sighs inside. It seems like his wife was also reckless in the past.

When he heard the story Lin Hui mentioned, he had returned to the day when they captured Chu Li Xiang at the abandoned factory.

In any given situation, when one sees their enemy jump out a window, one would react by taking a safer route, but not his wife. She didn't hesitate to jump after in pursuit, even if it meant hurting herself.

Recalling this incident, Lu Tian clenches his fists tightly at his sides. He has always been the one who creates fear in others' hearts, but now… it is his wife who causes him to know what fear feels like.

Not the kind of fear that makes one want to distance themselves, but the fear of losing someone they love.

Looking away from the window, he reaches down to pick up one of the blueprints before walking away.

"Tell everyone to finish what they're doing. Once done, everyone is dismissed for the day."

Jiangyu's attention turned away from Lin Hui when he heard his boss. He strides after Lu Tian as he suddenly remembers something he had been meaning to ask.

"Boss, wait a second."

He quickly caught up with Lu Tian and walked shoulder to shoulder with the aloof man.

"What about you and the lady boss? Some of the windows and walls have been removed and have not been put back. Will you both be staying here? If you are, some of us agreed to stay here to keep watch."

Before Lu Tian and Yue Ling came home, everyone from Wolf Team and Fate had this discussion. If their bosses decide to stay the night, it'll be risky since any opening can be used as an entrance. The best thing to do to assure their bosses' safety is to have a few of them stay behind since they have to be back the next day.

Lu Tian doesn't turn his head to look at his subordinate but stares ahead at the house. He thought to himself about what to do, then glance down at the blueprint in his hand.

It was exactly as Jiangyu said. This is their house, but they cannot be too sure who will suddenly appear with the current renovation.

If it had been only him, he could care less. He wants to see who would dare enter his home. However, this is also his wife's home.

He also knows that his wife is a fearless tiger, and nothing can faze her. If an enemy appears in front of her, she will do everything to defend herself, even if it means putting her life on the line.

However, that is something he doesn't want her to do.

Lifting his head, he scans the exterior of the house for a long second, then parts his lip.

"I'll ask for her opinion first."

His words fell simply, but it was a direct order for Jiangyu to wait for a later response. He strides away with significant steps as the bulky man he was walking with stops in the middle of the grass field.
