Chapter 1597: The New Boss
"It will be Noah\'s first time as well," she added.
"I have to pick him up on the way. Xiao Min will be there too."
Jiang Yuyan nodded. "After this, you can\'t tell me anything related to the base. It\'s the rule since I am not associated with it anymore."
"I know," he replied and sat in the car. "See you in the evening."
Jiang Yuyan nodded and waved at the moving car. Once the car disappeared from her sight, she turned to the separate two-story glass house that Lu Qiang had built for her, where she could draw and paint.
"Hmm, I wonder what I should draw first?" she mused, walking towards the glass house. On the way, Lu Lijun picked up Noah, who was waiting for him by the roadside at the designated spot. Noah got into the car and asked, "So where exactly are we going during work hours? There are no meetings or business trips scheduled. Don\'t tell me we are going to beat up that Magnus guy. Not that I mind. It\'s been quite a long time since my fists tasted blood." Focusing on driving, Lu Lijun replied, "It\'s not time to beat him yet, but yeah, we are going to a place where we can plan how to beat him up."
Noah raised an eyebrow, turning excited. "Is there some underground fighting club like in England?"
"You seem ready to blow off some steam," Lu Lijun commented. "Is it your guy\'s doing?"
"Don\'t mention that asshole first the thing in the morning."
"So, I am right," Lu Lijun chuckled. "I heard you kicked him out of the room last night. Seems like you couldn\'t sleep that well."
"That asshole was trying to show me some shit," Noah said, annoyance evident in his eyes.
"That shit is supposed to be sex education for you," Lu Lijun teased.
"Yeah, I\'ll ask him to send it to you so you can use it for your knowledge-unless you don\'t mind seeing two grown men fucking each other like crazy."
"I don\'t mind watching it. I\'m sure it\'ll be arousing even if I\'m into women," Lu Lijun replied. "You can\'t run away from it. Jake is right to put in some effort when you\'re being chicken about it."
"It\'s not your ass at stake," Noah said, leaning back in the chair and closing his eyes. "So admit that you\'re going to be the bottom," Lu Lijun chuckled playfully. "Not wrong either, as playing hard to get is a bottom\'s thing."
"Shut up, you other asshole."
"Maybe try it once if Jake is putting so much effort into it," Lu Lijun teased.
"Why don\'t you offer your pretty ass to him to make his efforts fruitful?"
Lu Lijun chuckled. "Would you even like that? If I remember, you went berserk at the thought of him being with Jane that night. Can you even imagine the man you love with another man who is your best friend?"
"Why are my friends supposed to be such asses?" Noah frowned. "Stop talking about it already. I\'m not in the mood or I will jump out of the car."
Lu Lijun said nothing. After reaching the outskirts of the city, he finally stopped the car. Noah opened his eyes and looked around at the deserted road, which was not the highway they had been driving on until now. "Are we going to have a meeting with the birds and some wild animals here?"
In response, Lu Lijun opened the door and said, "Get out of the car."
Noah did so and soon noticed another car approaching them. Two well-built men in suits stepped out of the car and said, "Good morning, Boss. I am Ben and he is Ned."
Lu Lijun offered a nod and heard Ben say, "In this car," he pointed towards the car they arrived in.
Noah, still confused, looked at Lu Lijun. "Boss? Have you, by chance, built your mafia empire without me knowing about it?"
"You\'ll find out. Sit in the car," Lu Lijun instructed, getting into the other car where the man in the suit opened the door for him and Noah. "Are we leaving your car here?" Noah asked.
Lu Lijun nodded and heard Ben say, "Our people will take care of that car."
Noah stayed quiet and watched where they were heading. Ahead lay an area of dense woods on both sides of the road that seemed endless. On the way, Noah\'s gaze noticed the hidden cameras on the trees, which were not easily spotted, but his sharp senses picked them out.
Noah silently looked at Lu Lijun, who replied to his unspoken question, "They belong to us." Understanding the meaning, Noah kept quiet, simply determined to see what his friend had hidden up his sleeve.
After driving for almost half an hour more, the car entered through a gate attached to the tall compound walls surrounding the secret manor.
Noah stepped out and observed the surroundings while Lu Lijun felt a wave of nostalgia, recalling the first time Lu Qiang had brought him here. Though no one other than the boss and his employees were allowed at the base, Lu Qiang had bent this rule for Lu Lijun, who used to stick with him most of the time after his kidnapping incident.
He still remembered the words Lu Qiang said to him that day after introducing him to the entire base and their operations.
"Lijun, in the future, all this will be yours along with our company. Take a look at everything now, as it will be the first and last time I bring you here while I am the boss."
At that time, Lu Lijun didn\'t think he would ever have to return here or take charge of this place. He believed his brother would always be with him and take care of everything, but fate had different plans.
Meanwhile, inside the manor building,
San Zemin was attending a call while Xiao Min stood next to him.
"...yes, Mister Lu Feng," San Zemin replied and hung up the call.
"What did he say?" Xiao Min asked.
"The same thing we worry about," San Zemin answered. "He warned us to get rid of anything related to the information about that fifth person. Once Lu Lijun is here, he will have complete control, including all the information in our system. Though we got rid of the physical files long ago, the information was still stored in the system."
"Was?" Xiao Min asked.
"When Bond came here yesterday, she ordered us to erase that file from the system, and we
did so as she was still the boss."
"Hmm," Xiao Min said, looking a little conflicted. "But I feel like the truth is going to come out one way or another."
"We will face it when that day comes, but for now, we need to keep it hidden."
"Boss, they are here," a man informed them.
San Zemin and Xiao Min walked out to welcome their new boss, accompanied by a few more
of their men.
