Bonus chapter
Li Lijun reached the airport earlier to meet his friend Noah and spend some time with him before he returned. They sat in the cafe at the airport.
"Why so, suddenly? Wasn't there time for your return flight?" Noah asked as he sat in the chair opposite Lu Lijun.
"Now or after some time, it doesn't make a difference," Lu Lijun countered.
"So when would you be back here again?" Noah asked.
"Not sure," Lu Lijun replied.
"Will you be joining the offer you got?"
"Not sure about that, too," Lu Lijun replied.
"If you are returning as you planned, then you should be sure about what you will do, but why do you look lost? This is not the Lijun that I know," Noah asked, giving him a questioning look that Lu Lijun didn't know how to answer and Noah spoke again.
"Or did you plan to stay here to start with but suddenly changed the plan because of something."

"I just want to know what my friend wants," Noah countered.
Lu Lijun looked at him with doubt. "Really?"
"Hmm!"
"Then tell me why did you suddenly plan to come to China when you always planned to be in England with your friends, I mean Jake and me."
"Sometimes, our decisions can change," Noah replied casually.
"Or are you running away from something?" Lu Lijun countered, and the expressions on Noah's face changed.
Collecting himself, Noah chuckled, "Why would I run away from anything?"
"You should ask it to yourself," said Lu Lijun.
Sipping the coffee, Noah looked here and there to avoid Lu Lijun's gaze. Lu Lijun said nothing, and both enjoyed the coffee silently while immersed in their thoughts.
Just then, there was some chaotic situation in the cafe as everyone looked into their mobiles and talked about something. It looked like there was something important.
Both friends looked around, thinking about what was going on. Not just the customers in the cafe but also the employees were busy with phones and talking about something.
Both friends pulled out their phones, but just then, Noah's sight followed the TV screen behind Lu Lijun, which showed the news, but it was on the mute. By reading the news written on the screen, Noah's eyes left wide open, and till then, Lu Lijun too saw it on his mobile.
"Lijun, the news," said Noah, and already shocked, Lu Lijun stood up in a hurry and followed Noah's sight to look at the TV screen. Someone increased the volume of the TV to hear the news.
"The president of Lu corporation met with an accident. The president Looks in critical condition and has been taken to the hospital. The third president of the Lu family met with an accident. Is it a coincidence or someone planned it again just like in the past what happened with president Lu Qiang."
Getting back to his senses, Lu Lijun ran out of the cafe as Noah followed him. Lu Lijun wished to catch the cab as the car he came in left already, but Noah stopped him, "Get in my car."
Both ran towards Noah's car, but instead of sitting in it, Lijun stepped away from it, "Wait for me, Noah."
Lu Lijun ran towards one man in a black suit who stood near one car, "Send me the details where your boss has taken too."
Not feeling surprised at it, the man nodded, and Lu Lijun returned to sit in Noah's car. In a minute, Lu Lijun got the details and informed Noah where to go after setting up the location in the car's GPS.
Lu Lijun looked worried and scared as he kept looking at the road, "Can you drive faster?"
Noah stepped on the gas the next moment, and the car, which was already at high speed, picked up the more pace. Every passing moment seems like an eternity to Lu Lijun, but he tried to be calm.
The news on the TV reminded him of the scenario from nine years back when he watched such news about his elder brother, and after that, he never got the chance to see him ever. He cursed himself for no reason as if it was his fault when he did nothing wrong.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Lu Lijun reached the hospital in nearly half an hour, San Zemin's men were waiting for him as they were informed by their man from the airport that the fourth young master was coming there.
They took Lu Lijun straight to the VIP floor where Jiang Yuyan was admitted, and the family members were present in the waiting room.
The accident happened almost two hours before from when Lu Lijun reached the hospital, but he got to know it late.
The family members were surprised to see him thinking he must have left for England. Lu Lijun went to Lu Feng, who hurried back to the city after finishing the work and got to know the news on the way back home from the airport.
"Where is she?" Lu Lijun asked. More than worried, he looked scared, scared to lose someone precious again.
"Doctor is treating her," Lu Feng replied calmly, and just then, Lu Jinhai came to him, "She would be fine."
"I asked, where is she?" Lu Lijun shouted this time, forgetting with whom he was talking.
"First room on the right," Lu Feng pointed towards the end of the corridor as he knew there was no use of talking sense to him and consoling him. Seeing her would be the only thing he must want.
Lu Lijun ran towards the end of the corridor and took a right turn to stop in front of the first room.
Lu Jinhai was about to follow his son, but Lu Feng stopped him, "Let him be, uncle."
"He must have recalled his brother's accident and must be scared," elder Lu spoke, understanding Lu Lijun's condition.
Lu Jinhai agreed and stopped. Lu Feng stood beside Noah. Sometimes passed by, and Lu Lijun didn't return.
"Lu Feng, check on him," elder Lu instructed.
Lu Feng nodded and signaled Noah to come with him. Noah was the person who knew Lu Lijun better so he could handle him.
