Chapter 390 Stressed And Anxious

For the first time, Kang Jun truly felt stressed and anxious. He felt his stomach roll and his chest burn.

Sighing deeply, Kang Jun gathered himself and continued to do his work. He wanted to finish it quickly, so he knew he needed a clear head but this was hard. Even if he was counting on others to protect Lu AnLing; others who he knew he could trust, it still wasn't enough...

He needed to be there.

Kang Jun felt like he was working for hours but truly it was just gruelling minutes until suddenly, the hacker just stopped.

This was strange but the tired Kang Jun was not in the mood to think about it. But before he left the office to go to his wife's side once more he set up more security. Kang Jun wasn't the best when it came to tech things but he had learned just in case anything of the sort happened. So after he did what he had to do, he called a couple of hackers he knew and asked them to make the security better. And with the right amount of money, they agreed.

After this, Kang Jun immediately started packing his things with every intention to go back to Lu AnLing but then suddenly he received a call.

It was Elder Tang.

Kang Jun did not expect Elder Tang to contact him, but seeing the number he knew this was urgent business.

"I've found something." The old man said on the other end of the line as soon as Kang Jun answered the phone.

Kang Jun had tasked him with finding out who exactly Rong Yue Wan and Feng Zhengyi would get to commit the accident. Due to the fact that Kang Jun didn't spend too much time within normal circles of friends, he knew nothing about how those circles functioned. And so, the old man, who had spent a lot of time frequenting this in his adulthood and knowing Tang Luoyi frequented these circles a lot also, he had enough connections to find out what was going on within them.

Rong Yue Wan did not know that Kang Jun or Elder Tang knew what she was planning for Lu AnLing so whatever move the old man were to make Rong Yue Wan would not concern herself with it. This was one of the only ways they had the upper hand.

Thinking of this Kang Jun frowned.

"What is it?" He said politely. Usually, Kang Jun wouldn't care about niceties but at this point, Kang Jun was too thankful to the old man.

"Out of everyone who's close or who has come into contact with this Rong Yue Wan woman, most of them do not have licences and so, they wouldn't be able to cause the accident. Because of this I decided to dig deeper and I found a couple of people who could drive and I've sent certain people to watch them. There had been no movement for a bit, but then suddenly something happened..." Elder Tang said explaining carefully. Each and every word caused Kang Jun's hands to curl into first.

Elder Tang: "I am sure that the one who will be causing the accident is Qiao Qingqing."

"Are you sure?" Kang Jun said with a frown. To his knowledge, Qiao Qingqing was the weak and sickly daughter of Elder Qiao. "Why would she do such a thing?"

"By what I understand it's a revenge of sorts... because... well it seems like she secretly resents her father." Elder Tang said awkwardly.

"What does this have to do with AnLing?" Kang Jun said with a frown.

"Directly, nothing. Qiao Qingqing has no connection to Lu AnLing but she seems to be the perfect candidate to carry out Rong Yue Wan's plan... By what my sources tell me, Qiao Qingqing is really not well and... that old fool, Qiao Jianhong, arranged the deal of his daughters husband."

Hearing this, Kang Jun froze for a second.

***

Tang Bingyi, Mo Yichen, Zeke and Lu AnLing sat in a restaurant, at a round table filled with plenty of dishes.

The group ate somewhat silently, with Zeke taking special interest in Lu AnLing.

To Lu AnLing, this felt a bit like how she had met him for dinner back in France. He spoke to her like he had known her for years and he put some seafood into her plate very intimately.

Lu AnLing felt a bit strange about this, but in the end, she just ignored it. Zeke was an important partner for the Infinity project and she didn't want to offend him in any way. Besides, she knew he was a good man due to all he had done for her in the past.

Though Lu AnLing couldn't help but feel he was acting strange. And in this, her instincts were right.

When Zeke has first stepped out of the building with Lu AnLing, Zeke has noticed guards who had, once upon a time, served him. They were all the same as they had always been; serious and hiding in plain sight, ready to act when necessary.

Zeke was a bit afraid they would recognize him as Kang Zhi and so he made an effort to change his demeanour, and voice and lower his head slightly.

However, Zeke had nothing to worry about.

Compared to then, now, Zeke's face was different from how it was when he was Kang Zhi. His features were more or less similar but he looked like a completely different person. The only person who Zeke truly believed would recognize him was Kang Jun.

But thankfully Kang Jun wasn't there...

"So Zeke, why did you decide to participate in the Infinity project?" Lu AnLing asked trying to break the awkward silence which had spread at the table.

Zeke looked at the girl before he put his chopsticks down seriously.

"Well... It gave me an excuse to come back to T City. I have some business to settle here." Zeke said.

Lu AnLing nodded. "This had something to do with your atonement?"

Hearing this, Zeke smiles warmly. "Yes... yes it does..."

Zeke smiles at Lu AnLing like a father smiling at his daughter and yet, because Mo Yichen and Tang Bingyi did not know much about their relationship, this caused a strange discomfort between the both of them.

Taking her phone out secretively, Tang Bingyi took a picture of Zeke and Lu AnLing and then she sent it to Kang Jun.
