Lu Feng came to him, "I will visit you once in a while."
"I don’t want anyone to visit me," Lu Lijun answered.
Lu Feng didn’t take his words seriously. "If you feel like to meet me, just inform and I’ll be there."
Lu Lijun nodded and Lu Feng felt relieved that he at least didn’t say not to it.
Lu Lijun’s bags were kept in the car and Xiao Dong was ready to go with him. Lu Lijun didn’t want any family member to come with him so Lu Linhai preferred to send Xiao Dong along with Lu Lijun. It was Xiao Dong’s responsibility to take Lu Lijun there and look after his needs until Lu Lijun settled there.
The servant opened the car’s door for Lu Lijun to sit inside. Lu Lijun looked at the mansion for one last time and his sight stopped at Jiang Yuyan’s room’s gallery on the second floor. He stared at it for a few moments as if he was expecting to see something.
Feeling disappointed, Lu Lijun sat inside and the car left.

In Lu Corporation...
Jiang Yuyan was standing near the window behind her chair. It was late and Jiang Yuyan was standing there for long so it worried Xiao Min but his new boss was stubborn who never listened to anyone’s advice.
"Boss, they reached the airport," Xiao Min informed.
"Hmm! Keep our two men always around Lu Lijun and ask them to update me everything about him," Jiang Yuyan replied still looking at the sky.
"Our men are already there. They have been instructed on what to do. Also, the cell phone provided to Lu Lijun has a tracker in it."
"Good."
--------
Jiang Yuyan went back home after Lu Lijun board the plane and she was sure that he left. Once she reached the Lu Mansion, she straight went to Lu Lijun’s room. The room where the little guy was always present, seems deserted and lifeless.
Most of his stuff that marked his presence in the room was gone. When she opened the wardrobe, the other half side of it was almost empty. She felt like one important part of her life was suddenly missing and she felt empty.
After Lu Qiang, it was Lu Lijun who kept her occupied whenever she was home and never let her feel alone but now once again she was lonely. No one was there to order her with full right and treat her like she was a kid. No one was there to nag her or say something to annoy her. No one would be there to greet her whenever she will open her eyes every morning and to force her to eat more and more.
Once again there was that emptiness that was ready to engulf her and the tears rolled down from her eyes. She felt bad for sending him away even though he didn’t want to. She felt bad for not coming back to see him off when he would have waited for her to show up.

"Just one day left for the deadline. If you can’t do it, just tell me. I won’t mind going to him and make a hole in his head but I don’t wish to give him an easy death."
"Boss, he would be here tomorrow. The plan is already in progress."
"You better keep your words, San Zemin or you would be the first one getting retired from your job." Jiang Yuyan warned.
"Yes, boss."
All could see, day by day their boss was getting cold and the way she talked, she spared no one from it.
"What about the last man," Jiang Yuyan asked.
"Victor Magnus. We can get him but for that, we would need someone’s help," San Zemin informed.
"Who?" Jiang Yuyan asked curiously.
San Zemin did something on his tablet and showed one picture to Jiang Yuyan as he commented, "I am sure, the boss knows this person."
"Zhi Ruo," Jiang Yuyan mumbled as she recognized her.
"The man with Ms. Zhi Ruo. We need to get help from him," San Zemin informed.
Jiang Yuyan observed the man standing beside Zi Ruo and remembered that she has seen the man before. She remembered the night of Lu Qiang’s cousin’s engagement when Jiang Yuyan thought the man with Zhi Ruo was Lu Qiang.
"Who is he?" Jiang Yuyan asked.
"He is one of the powerful men in the country who can control the conditions inside our country as well as abroad. Just by sitting here, he can conduct any mission anywhere in the world as he has the power to control anyone."
"Why Didn’t I hear about him then?"
"Because he prefers to stay away from the limelight," San Zemin answered.
"Are you sure he will help us?"
"Previous boss and he knows each other. I won’t say they were friends but respected and helped each other whenever there was a need as they trusted each other."
"How are we going to contact him?"
"We don’t need to."
"Huh?"
"Soon he will meet the boss," San Zemin informed.
"We will wait for him then."

Jiang Yuyan was busy in the office when Xiao Min was updating her about Lu Liju. He passed the tablet to Jiang Yuyan which had Lu Lijun’s pictures in it.
Jiang Yuyan went through the pictures that showed Lu Lijun reached London, then traveled to the place along with Xiao Dong and reached the place where his stay was arranged. In each picture, Jiang Yuyan could see Lu Lijun didn’t have that brightness on his face or in his eyes. It was not due to he was tired in the journey but it was the one which showed the person was sad.
He had everything but what could more be done to make him happy but Jiang Yuyan couldn’t find the answer.
