Chapter 254 - 2% Chance?
The small tech disguised as a bullet was created by soone within the Legion for their intelligence-gathering purposes. It was designed to record sound as soon as it was activated by shooting it using a gun.
Ming Xuan imdiately sent it to their laboratory to have it analyzed and converted into an mp3 file. In less than half an hour, Ming Xuan imdiately received the file and in that less than a minute recording, they were able to find a very important discovery.
Lu Shao who received the report was also started when he read the report. The Boss and the Boss’ brother-in-law were still in a closed-door eting so he could only delay in relaying this information to Lu Chen.
It was already past lunch when the two finished their eting. As soon as the two of them boarded the car, Lu Shao imdiately relayed Ming Xuan’s findings to Lu Chen.
"Since when did the Sy Clan bow to other people?" Lu Shao almost spat out as his eyes revealed a dangerous glint.
The Sy Clan is an organization almost on par with The Legion, and compared to his ans, theirs are more cruel and violent, and they are the ones bold enough to provoke their patience every ti.
The two organizations often clashed, and with Lu Chen keeping everything under control in the underworld, it couldn’t be avoided that he also has to do his job in keeping them in check considering how they are starting to beco more and more impudent these days.
What he didn’t expect was that the Sy Clan would work with Albert this ti. He hadn’t gotten deeper on how much influence does Albert really has, but if he is working with the second leading organization in the underworld, then his influence shouldn’t be easily underestimated.
The Sy Clan doesn’t work with people that easily no matter how much money you pay them. After all, they make a lot of money with their business in the black market.
So when Lu Chen heard this news, he realized that the more they dig deeper into the case, the more it gets complicated.
Albert Chen’s reach stretched into so many places that he was getting seriously concerned with how far he had already actually reached.
"Go to the headquarters." Lu Chen commanded Lu Shao who was driving the vehicle at the mont.
Lu Shao replied affirmatively while glancing at the ti flashing on the led screen inside the car.
It seems like it’s going to be a long day and an all-nighter ahead.
And so, Lu Chen along with the acting head of the legion delegated the tasks that he worked on with Xiu Min and had a separate eting with the people he assigned long before to monitor the Sy Clan’s movents.
Just like how he works in the Lu Corporation, Lu Chen didn’t notice that so much ti had already passed before he realized that a day already had passed and that he completely forgot to ssage his wife yesterday regarding his affairs.
"Boss, at this rate you’re going, I’m pretty sure you’ll be back to your single status by next year." Si Tu Yi said offhandedly on the side. Ming Xuan imdiately kicked his ankles as a warning to shut him up.
There are so things in the world that may be true but should be left unsaid ah! Is he asking to be abused by the big boss?
At least say that when they’re not around. He doubts the big boss will let them off easily if he gets provoked.
Lu Chen who was just about to send a ssage to his wife froze.
... Xiu i wouldn’t throw a divorce letter when he gets ho, right?
He, who was fully unaware of what was currently unfolding on Xiu i’s side, was on the verge of running back ho after thinking about that possibility.
The wife he chased patiently for many months... how could he bear to let her go ah?
So the big boss who missed sleep for one night decisively dropped his work in the headquarters and ran back to his wife’s arms. Along the way, he was already thinking about how to explain the circ.u.mstances to her and knowing his wife very well, if she’s not angry at him, then she will definitely ignore him at most.
Both don’t make him feel good so he had a stopover at a flower shop to buy his wife so flowers and bought her her favorite dessert as an attempt to appease her just in case she was really angry.
She wasn’t stupid. She was a woman who is well-versed in the topics of s.e.x, and what happens after if one is careless with doing the deed.
....Fudge, is she pregnant?!
Xiu i was almost pulling her hair out at the thought. Her hand flew to her stomach, and without thinking twice, she pulled up her clothes revealing her n.a.k.e.d stomach. She shifted and stood sideways while watching her reflection in the mirror to see if her stomach changed in appearance.... Like maybe if it grew bigger?
She lightly pinched her stomach and observed that nothing really changed. She didn’t even get fat despite lazing around like a neet at ho for quite so ti.
Maybe she was just thinking too much?
Wait, when did she have her first ti with Lu Chen again?
Xiu i calculated the days in her head and tried to exclude the possibility of pregnancy by counting the weeks in which morning sickness usually appears during pregnancy.
Her period... she definitely had it last month. Just... it was lighter than usual but she thought it was just stress so she didn’t get too bothered by it.
But what if...?
Nah, she was probably being too paranoid. She and Lu Chen has always been very careful every ti, and the only ti he forgot to wear a c.o.n.d.o.m was during their first ti which was completely understandable since it happened too abruptly.
The c.o.n.d.o.ms did say that there’s still a 2% chance of getting pregnant even when wearing one so... it would be too impossible that they belong on that 2% ah?
Before she could continue thinking about that 2% possibility, she suddenly heard a knock.
"Ms.Xiu, are you alright there? I’ve already called up the company nurse." Her assistant’s worried voice sounded behind the door.
Xiu i finally realized that she stayed too long in the restroom already and quickly fixed her attire. She opened the door and acted fine in front of her assistant.
"Don’t worry, I’m fine. It’s just a bit of a fever and probably I ate sothing bad at breakfast so..." Before she could finish her sentence, her assistant imdiately held her arm and pulled her over to her seat. The company nurse was already beside her table so she imdiately started to check her up.
"Oh my god! 39 degrees?!" Her assistant almost scread when she saw the number that flashed on the thermal scanner. The company nurse left her so generic dicine for fever before leaving their floor.
She was just about to drink the dicine when her assistant imdiately stopped her. She fearlessly nagged her to take it after eating, then after she ate she reminded her to take it. And then when she was just about to resu working, she told her to rest for another hour.
"But I already took a break when I ate my lunch."
"Ms.Xiu, you’re sick and resting is a must right now. I know you want to work but still, why don’t you take a rest for another hour just in case?"
"I’ll be fine."
"The President will surely not be happy if he finds out you pushed yourself too much again."
"But I’m his secretary ah. So it’s reasonable that I work hard especially at tis like this. We have too much on our plate, and it’s not like we can assign to other departnts as well."
"I’ve already inford Secretary Lu to hurry back ah."
"...WHAT?!"
Xiu i almost jumped from her seat.
She already inford Lu Shao about her situation?!
Then... then... Lu Chen already knew that she’s sick?!
She gasped as she recalled how strict Lu Chen was during the first week she returned to work. Now that he knows that she got sick because of overworking... oh my god. She could already imagine how he’s going to take away a lot of her work just to force her to rest.
...If worst cos to worst, should she push the fault to him ah?
Well, the reason she overworked too much yesterday was because he wasn’t around ah in the first place ah....
