"Lijun, don't read it," Noah said nervously.
But Lu Lijun continued to read the details of the file. mories from the past flashed before his eyes when he saw the picture of another man: his robotics teacher.
"What is it, teacher?" a young boy's voice echoed in Lu Lijun's mind.
"Lijun, this is a new device my friend and I are developing. It's a tracker device."
"What is it for?"
"Umm, it has various uses, like tracking soone's whereabouts. For example, a police officer can attach it to a suspect's vehicle to monitor their movents and locations, which could help in investigations. Isn't it a noble cause?"
"It sure is."
"Now we are testing how far we can track a vehicle if we attach it. After class, my friend will hire a car, drive it as far as he can, and I will check. With the results we get, we can keep refining the device. But it's taking more ti than we thought. To get data frequently, we have to rent a car all the ti."
"I have cars at ho. I can help you with it."
"Really?"
"Yes. I'll stick it to soone's car or just get a driver to drive a random car so we can test."
"Random cars would just waste fuel. Maybe stick it to soone's car, and you can monitor its location to get data."
"Okay."
"I have another one of these. I'll give it to you, and I'll keep using this one myself. This is the remote and trackpad where you can see the location of the car."
"Understood."
He rembered going to the car parkings in the Lu Mansion, contemplating which vehicle to attach the device to. The answer beca clear in a mont: his brother's car. It would help record data for the device, and he could also see his brother's location. Without a second thought, he attached the device under the car as instructed by the teacher.
When Lu Qiang's car left the Lu Mansion, Lu Lijun tried to check the tracker's data about the car's location, but it didn't show up. He thought the device must have so error and decided to check it once Lu Qiang returned ho. But neither Lu Qiang nor his car made it back ho.
Tears started to roll down Lu Lijun's face.
"Lijun..."
Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Boss, there is an urgent matter. Please open the door." It was San Zemin. Noah stood up and opened the door. San Zemin barged into the room and looked at Lu Lijun. Seeing his current condition, San Zemin went to Lu Lijun's side and glanced at the laptop in front of him, confirming his suspicions.
"Boss..."
Lu Lijun stood up abruptly and hurried out of the office before San Zemin could say more. Noah and the others quickly followed behind him.
Lu Lijun stord out, heading straight to his car. He sat in the driver's seat, and Noah hurried to get in on the other side. He tried to open the door, but it was locked, and Lu Lijun had already started the car.
"Lijun," Noah tapped on the window, "Let in."
"Boss," San Zemin did the sa, while others panicked.
Ignoring them, Lu Lijun drove away. San Zemin hurried to another car, where Ye Bai had already taken the driver's seat. "Follow him."
Noah jumped into the sa car, and other team mbers got into a few more cars, hastily following Lu Lijun.
"We need to call Mrs. Lu," Ye Bai said.
"On it already," San Zemin replied, dialing Jiang Yuyan and waiting for her to pick up the call while keeping his eyes on the speeding car ahead.
"Drive faster," Noah urged Ye Bai. "Damn it, what's that guy up to?"
San Zemin finally reached Jiang Yuyan and inford her about the situation. There was a long silence before she spoke, "I will go to him."
"I will share his car's location," San Zemin responded.
In the quiet of the night, a few cars continued to follow Lu Lijun's car which was running at
the high speed. After the ride of more than half an hour, Lu Lijun's car finally stopped at one place, in the centre of an empty road.
The other cars stopped as well and they stepped out.
"This place," San Zemin finally had a realisation.
"What is this place?" Noah asked.
"Place where the accident was happened," Ye Bai answered and instructed others to stay put.
They watched Lu Lijun walk towards the certain place on the road side as he stood there motionlessly, staring at the ground below.
"It's the sa place where the car was burned and so did Lu Qiang," Ye Bai explained.
Noah was about to go ahead but San Zemin held him back, "Let him be. If we disturb, he might leave once again. Just wait for him here. Mrs Lu is on the way. Once she is here, everything will be fine."
Noah found it reasonable and stood in his place. He watched Lu Lijun getting on his knees as if feeling all helpless. He had seen Lu Lijun cry only once and it was for Jiang Yuyan and now he was seeing it once more. He could not deny it was hurting to see him like this.
Noah clenched his fists to do his best to not go to Lu Lijun.
Soon a car arrived there and Jiang Yuyan stepped out of it. She saw Lu Lijun and straightaway went to him. She could understand what he must be feeling. Her eyes turned moist, her heart hurting for him, Jiang Yuyan gathered courage and knelt in front of him.
"Lijun," she called him softly who had his head lowered while crying helplessly.
She didn't know what to say to console him at this mont as no words would be enough. She knew, she never blad him for anything as he was a child and those people made him do it. It was never his fault, he was nothing but an innocent child who loved his brother.
She closed the distance and circled her arms around him, letting him cry as she hugged him. Tears rolled down her own eyes while she tried to control how hurt she was feeling to see him
like this.
Lu Lijun was not the kind who would cry easily, unless....unless it hurts him terribly.
