Chapter 389: Too Good
Throughout the whole meeting there was a strange atmosphere which had settled in. Lu AnLing had noticed this quickly but she didn't know why. Though, unlike her, Zeke knew. His presence in itself had caused this. To Tang Bingyi he was a complete stranger who was somehow close to Lu AnLing and as for Mo Yichen, Zeke had never told him about his relationship with Lu AnLing, and so, it was obvious that Mo Yichen would find their relationship a bit suspect, mostly after the fact that he had ordered his secretary to hack Kang Corporation.
The meeting itself went well. They discussed the Infinity project at length and they were able to decide on when they would officially launch the project.
At the end Zeke turned to Lu AnLing and smiled slightly. "Miss Lu, Yichen has told me that you're quite the talented song writer. Will you be writing some music for the project?"
Zeke knew things about Lu AnLing. More than either Mo Yichen or Lu AnLing could ever imagine. He knew everything about Lu AnLing and how she'd been doing and so, he didn't need to say these comments but for Zeke it was a kind of defence mechanism of sorts to solidify his identity as Zeke and not Kang Zhi.
Frankly, Zeke didn't want to go back to being Kang Zhi. Kang Zhi had caused problems for people since birth. If he hadn't been born his mother wouldn't have suffered, Kang Jun would have been the heir, without problem, and Anna wouldn't have fallen in love with him and tried to protect him by leading Kang Jun to Lu AnLing. She wouldn't have killed herself because of the guilt of ruining another's life...
As he thought this, Zeke tried to keep a calm expression but it was hard. Thankfully, no one noticed his strain.
Hearing Zeke speak to her so informally in front of Mo Yichen and Tang Bingyi, Lu AnLing felt a bit awkward but she answered anyways.
"I don't know if I'll be writing any music but I'll be working on translation and marketing, I'm sure that if necessary I would..." Lu AnLing said calmly.
"That's good..." Zeke said simply. At this point in time, the meeting was pretty much over. There was nothing to talk about and so, Zeke said, "How about we go to dinner?"
Lu AnLing accidentally frowned slightly, "Dinner?"
Zeke nodded.
It was still a bit early in the day, nowhere near time for diner but it was also too late for lunch. Zeke knew this, but he wanted to lighten up the mood. He noticed a long time ago how strangely Mo Yichen was eyeing him and he just wanted to have a chance to explain slightly but also, to understand what was going on in Lu AnLing's life.
Lu AnLing touched her fringe and then she turned to Tang Bingyi and Mo Yichen. "What do you guys think?"
Neither Tang Bingyi nor Mo Yichen wanted to go out and eat. They had both been tasked in protecting Lu AnLing and they both knew how many things could happen to her if they acted recklessly and so, Mo Yichen began to speak.
"Zeke, I don't think that's a good idea. It's been a long day, I'm sure Miss Lu wants to go back home..." Mo Yichen said awkwardly.
Hearing this, Tang Bingyi added, "Yes. She has a husband and children to go back to."
Tang Bingyi's words were harsh, as if she was just trying to remind the man that he was talking to a married woman.
Zeke could clearly understand what Tang Bingyi was trying to say but he couldn't care less, so he said,
"I understand that, but I would like to find a way to apologize to everyone for delaying the meeting for so long."
What Zeke was saying was only half true.
Zeke knew what he was doing. And despite Lu AnLing's situation, or rather because of it, he wanted to observe something. He wanted to see both Kang Jun's resolve in protecting his wife but also if there was anyone out of the ordinary floating around Lu AnLing.
Zeke had long promised that he would protect Lu AnLing. He knew his role in ruining her life. She was involved in this whole problem because people wanted to destroy his life... so it was the least he could do.
Zeke looked at the table innocently and softly. So much so that Tang Bingyi, Mo Yichen and Lu AnLing didn't know what to say.
Hearing the quiet, Zeke said, "Alright. It's settled then. I'll call over my secretary."
***
As he worked on trying to bring the database back to how it was and find out who exactly had hacked into his system Kang Jun felt his blood boil.
Despite taking precautions he was still worried about his wife but he knew that, as of yet, he couldn't leave.
Whoever had hacked into their system was good, too good and Kang Jun knew that none of the hackers he knew would dare do this. Because Kang Jun would find them.
It only took at hour to track down where the person who had hacked into his system had done it from and after that, Kang Jun arranged for someone to find them and deal with them. After this, Kang Jun was about to make his way over to his wife but suddenly, another problem occurred.
The hacker kept hacking despite all the firewalls set up and Kang Jun was beginning to feel blood curtailing anger.
After a small while, once more, Kang Jun had almost finished dealing with the trouble that the hacker had caused.
And thankfully, to Mr Long's quick work, no one at the company knew that something was wrong.
Taking a small break just to breathe, Kang Jun massaged his temple and thought but his brain was very clouded. Kang Jun didn't want to work at Kang Corporations anymore. He needed to leave. His mind felt like it was melting and his whole heart just yearned to be with his wife. He was reaching a point where he couldn't care less about the Infinity project or about Kang Corporations but he couldn't just abandon his responsibilities.
