Lop-Eared Guard – 42

Lu Shangjin slammed the door and left. He sat in the car and smoked one cigarette after another, until his buzzing temples were completely numbed and calmed by the nicotine.

Yan Yi’s fearful and pleading look came back to his mind. 

Lu Shangjin pressed his chest as he lay on the steering wheel to endure the rapid spasmic throbbing of his heart beat. Legs numb with icy coldness, he couldn’t feel anything when he stepped on the accelerator. 

This was probably the most unbridled manic rage he had ever experienced in his life. 

For the next two days, Lu Shangjin spent the night in the company and didn’t go back home. 

Most of the contracts piled on the desk had been signed, and only a stack of Jiu’An Hong Ye contracts were left. Lu Shangjin didn’t have the mood to open them at all, so he simply put them on hold. 

At first, the president of Jiu’An Hong Ye called to ask for them, but dared not ask again after sensing that something was wrong. 

After the meeting, Xia Pingtian came out of the meeting room with his face as black as coal. 

What the hell was Lu Shangjin tossing about for? Was he going against the Hong Ye Xia family? Several delayed contracts were almost overdue, yet he didn’t do anything. What was he doing? 

The baby left by his dad should have had a short life. It had multiple organ failures, so who could save it? He wouldn’t go as far as to bury the Hong Ye Xia’s name with it, would he?

The more he thought about it, the more his anger built up. He couldn’t help but call Lu Shangjin. If he still didn’t pick up, he would ask the driver to take him to Chang Hui immediately. 

Lu Shangjin picked up after ten rings. 

Xia Pingtian held back his fire and asked Lu Shangjin nicely.

Lu Shangjin asked lightly, “Did you help your little brother find Yan Yi?”

“Ah? I didn’t.” Xia Pingtian choked. He did help Xia Jingtian check, but he probably didn’t do anything. 

“You have a good little brother.”

Lu Shangjin hung up the phone.

Xia Pingtian’s breath caught in his throat. He then grabbed the assistant by the collar, “Go, bring me the examination report of that someone Lu Shangjin took for a check-up last time.”

He ripped off his tie in a fit of rage before going downstairs and drove to Xia Jingtian’s school.

Xia Jingtian was usually too lazy to go home and occasionally stayed in the dorms. The entrance guard uncle didn’t stop Xia Pingtian, letting him break into the dormitory building with a few alphas.

Xia Jingtian was really too lazy to go home these days. 

After coming back from Ruins bar, he had been holed up in school and didn’t move much.

His roommate was bent over his desk working on a drawing, while he was leaning against his bed with an old notebook, in a daze.

He brought this notebook out from the second floor bedroom of Ruins bar and had gone through it several times so far.

This little rabbit’s handwriting was as delicate and pretty as himself. 

Besides some memo notes written on the corner of the notebook, the majority of it was like a diary where the happiness or unhappiness of life were written down, and there would be scores related to Lu Shangjin written beside.
