The black car was parked at a side and Chang Fang looked back.
"I think we are okay now, Sir…"
Yuze opened his eyes. "Did Shui see ?"
"She wouldn't have. The back seat area is dark."
"So it's still a guesswork?"
Chang Fang quickly said, "I an no, she didn't see you."
"Call him where he is."
"Yes!"
But Chang Fang couldn't reach him. He nervously smiled at Yuze and tried again but got the sa answer.
Damn, where is he!?
Yuze closed his eyes, slightly gritting his teeth in impatience.
"I had told him very specifically to drive away and do nothing. DO. NOTHING. If I hear that he happened to confront Shui then first I will kill him and then it will be your turn."
"He wouldn't do anything stupid-"
Just then he got a ssage on his phone that shattered the ground beneath his feet.
"I sll bad news," Yuze smiled.
Chang Fang felt his heart racing as a drop of sweat trickled down the side of his ear.
"So he did sothing stupid after all…"
Yuze exhaled a breath, rubbing his temple while staring outside. He had no idea how Shui got involved in Lin's case and he had to do sothing before any suspicion in her heart took an unnecessary root.
She might have not seen but what about this useless fool?
He couldn't be too sure about Chang Fang. And he absolutely needed him at the bureau side to control the dealer from confessing anything unnecessary.
"Just do as I say. And if anything fucks up this ti, you are both dead."

"You look like a ghost. You are scaring my employees," Jin said to her the next day, finding her seated at her office.
He could see the dark circles under her eyes.
"I was working the whole night," Alix said, her gaze still intact at her laptop.
"On your designs or on Hou Lin's mystery?" His eyes squinted suspiciously.
"Obviously, it would be on my designs," she lied.
"It didn't look so obvious yesterday…" he murmured to himself.
"What did you just whisper-"
Alix finally looked up only to choke in her throat. Out of nowhere, two cats were sitting atop Jin's shoulders as if it was the most natural thing in the world. She looked around her office, confused.
"Did I co to the wrong place today?"
"This is the Liu Corps."
She gave him a blank stare. "Sorry, what are those cats?"
"Haven't you seen them before when you ca to the villa?"
"I only saw them from afar."
He pointed at his left shoulder. "Jun-kun."
Then he pointed at his right. "Ai-chan."
Alix couldn't decipher her feelings of whether she should be shocked by the cats' presence in the office or for the fact that they were nad after Jun and Ai.
"...Who kept those nas?"
"Zhou Ai nad Jun-kun and Bro nad Ai-chan."
Her expression twisted. "Are you throwing dog food at first thing in the morning? I don't want to know how much your brother and sister-in-law love each other."
"Shouldn't it be cat food?"
Her brow twitched hard.
"Why did you bring them here today?"
"Usually, they stay at ho but sotis they follow ," he smiled, tickling the cats under their chin.
*ow*
"Keep them away from ."
"Are you allergic to cats?"
"I don't know how to deal with small animals and children. They are unpredictable."
He blinked. "You handle Ailun pretty well."
She furrowed her brows. "He is a sensible kid."
As his Uncle, his expression perked up with pride.
"Anyway, don't worry. They will stay in my office."
"Are you going to tie them up?"
"Obviously not."
"Then no, they are not going to stay in your office. They will eventually cross over to my side."
He smiled. "Good for you to have so company then."

The company eventually arrived when Alix was occupied in working with making her collage. She would have completely forgotten all about it with Lin's case had Shui not pushed her with her stern reminder of not slacking on her therapy.
Alix looked away for a mont.
Should I hire soone to do this job?
Imagining Shui spitting fire out of her mouth if she learned her trickery, Alix quietly backed off with her evil idea.
*ow*
Alix looked up and stared at Jun-kun popping his head inside her office. Jun-kun stared back at Alix.
An impasse.
I knew it! I knew the cats won't stay still, she gritted her teeth.
She craned her neck and found Ai-chan peacefully resting on the couch with Jin completely buried in his work in his office. The next ti she looked back at the cat, Jun-kun had already hopped onto her desk, making her gasp. She imdiately pressed her back against the chair, making distance between herself and Jun-kun. Her eyes were filled with a look of horror.
"Go…go away…" she waved her hand, trying to make him jump off the desk.
*owww*
Jun-kun stretched his front legs as if he had no intention to move away. She saw his eyes curiously wander around her desk that settled on her laptop.
Alix and Jun-kun shared a second impasse glance.
Before she could grab the laptop, Jun-kun landed on the keyboard with a swift jump, as smooth as butter.
Alix inhaled a sharp breath. "You cannot do this to ."
*ow*
He walked all around the keyboard as if he was taking a casual walk in the park. His paws pressed the buttons here and there that made a criss cross design of indecipherable text in her collage docunt and moved the pictures out of their place.
She wanted to faint.
"Nooooooo!! Hey! If you destroy my hard-built collage then your owner has to give so answers, okay! I will make him redo my collage from scratch! Do you understand my pain of making this-"
Alix then squinted her eyes, looking at a zood in picture, courtesy to Jun-kun's paw.
"What is she doing over there…?"
