In the darkness that surrounded every inch of Imperial, the lights to Yue Ling and Lu Tian's home remained on.
Lian Ni Shang and Shan Sinan made a visit to give a report on the task assigned to them while Yue Ling was in the hospital.
Sitting on one of the white couches in the living room, Yue Ling calmly scrolls through the tablet in her hand.
Finally reaching the end, she sets it down on the glass coffee table and looks up at her subordinate who is sitting on the couch across from her.
"How is the merge between De L'amour and An Qing coming along?"
Lian Ni Shang reach for her work bag to retrieve a black folder. Handing it over to Yue Ling, she answers.
"It's going according to your instructions. For now, nothing is amiss. Sinan and I have drafted a list of all the employees within An Qing and those you put in the branch companies."
Taking the black folder, Yue Ling opens it and flips through the list of names.
Since the removal of Chen Limei, the CEO seat at An Qing has become vacant. She wants to use this time to merge the two companies together.
As much as she doesn't want to do this, she knows she cannot stay hidden forever.
It's time she publicize her ownership of An Qing and do an early spring cleaning of these so-called people loyal to her. She cannot risk another Chen Limei or Ming Yue to remain in her company.
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but sigh aloud.
"Boss, is everything okay?"
Lian Ni Shang worriedly asks when she heard her boss suddenly sigh. Yue Ling had just been discharged from the hospital, but instead of resting, here she is busying with work matters.
Could it be that something is wrong with the list the names?
"Everything is fine. Don't worry."
Yue Ling reassuringly answers with a smile. Continuing to flip through each page, she scans the list of names as she memorize each person.
Quietly watching her, Lian Ni Shang felt a tinge of pain inside her heart. She knows that her boss always appear as a strong person, but deep know she never shows her weak side to anyone.
She (Lian Ni Shang) hopes that Yue Ling will let them help her carry all the weigh on her shoulders.
Oblivious to Lian Ni Shang's thoughts, Yue Ling calmly close the black folder and place it down on the table next to the tablet.
"Once the situation with Chu Li Xiang is dealt with, I'll be paying a visit to An Qing and all the other branch companies."
"Should I inform each company about this?"
Lian Ni Shang questioned when she heard the sudden words. However, Yue Ling shook her head no.
"Its best to go unannounced."
It was normal for Chen Limei to think she had the authority to control An Qing because she was the only person given the CEO seat. Since she has been removed, Yue Ling wants to see how the other branches are handling the smaller companies they were assigned.
As their conversation continues, it quickly came to an end. At the same time, Lu Tian and Shan Sinan entered the house through the back door with Inu.
Lu Tian wanted Shan Sinan to help with the remaining cameras that needed to be set up in the back for Yue Ling and Inu's safety.
Inu entered the house last, but the moment he had enough room to squeeze through the two men, he races towards his favorite human. However, just when he neared her, he abruptly stops.
His ears perk in listening and he looks in the direction of the front door with a stance full of alert.
"Grrr…"
Hearing the Samoyed, four pair of eyes turn to look at the door too. The sound of a car pulling into the driveway can be heard.
Lu Tian strides over to check who it was. After confirming the person outside is not a threat, he moves to reach for the door handle.
"Boss!"
Just as he pulled the door open, Xu Long's figure runs inside the house. He wanted to tell his boss and lady boss about what happened.
"Groofff—!"
The moment he walked though the door, a white shadow appears out of nowhere and leaps up to jump kick the assistant.
"Ugh—"
Xu Long quickly stumbles back and falls on his bottom with a loud thud. He groans in pain and clutch his chest. It all happened so fast that he didn't have the time to react.
"Dude, what— ah!"
Entering through the door after the assistant, Lin Hui confusingly asked when he saw Xu Long sitting on the ground. However, before he could finish his words, the same white shadow leaps from the side and he (Lin Hui) was kicked to the side.
Lin Hui slams against the wall and held onto his waist. His face scrunch in pain at what was done to him.
Lu Tian stood dumbfounded at the side of the door. He covered his mouth with one hand while his other hand supported his elbow.
Despite his dumbfounded state, one can see he is trying very hard not to laugh at the two men.
From the corner of his eyes, he sees Liu Shan and Qi Li approaching the front steps to the house. He looks down at the white shadow now hiding behind him.
"Inu."
Inu was preparing himself to get his revenge on the two remaining peasants who didn't want to play with him. However, hearing Lu Tian, he knew he had to put his revenge on pause.
Sounding a snort, he walks away with his head held high. Since the decent peasant has spoken, he will listen and go to his favorite peasant.
He didn't even bother to look at the two human he had snuck an attack on. His expression was as if saying, 'Two down, two more to go.'
Both Xu Long and Lin Hui stares at the little guy in disbelief. Neither man could believe that the Samoyed was still holding a grudge on them.
Not only that, he moved so fast that they didn't even see his jump kick coming at all.
"What's wrong with you two?"
Entering the house, Liu Shan couldn't help but ask when he saw Xu Long sitting on the floor and Lin Hui pressing himself against the wall.
Did he and Qi Li miss something?
Hearing the assistant, both Lin Hui and Xu Long quickly came to their senses. Pretending like the vicious beast did not just attack them, they continue towards the living room after taking their shoes off.
Lin Hui: "There was a mosquito on the wall."
Xu Long: "I saw a mouse."
Both men spoke normally, but once their back were turned to Liu Shan and Qi Li, they wanted to to cry so badly but lack the tears.
Why are they so unlucky to be tackled by the white beast?
