In LCG private office of Liu Zijian, the young man just received the special report he asked couple of days ago.
He was in a deep thought after scanning the content. He ordered a thorough investigation about Chen Dewei. Based from the report, there was almost no interaction between him and Han Meixiu except from the two incidents; when they were introduced to each other and when he was used for a 'scandal'.
Although Chen Family would normally attend parties organized by the Zhang Family, Han Meixiu and Chen Dewei never really had any form of interaction.
Was he missing something?
He called Ye Ming to come in.
"Arrange me a meeting with Chen Wujing within the day." He ordered still looking occupied and perplexed.
"Understood." Ye Ming answered and went out to abide the order.
When he stepped outside, he couldn't help himself to mutter his thoughts.
'After investigating Chen Dewei, he wants to have a meeting with his father?'
But since he was only an assistant, there's just no way he would question him. Ye Ming just deduced that it must be related to the young mistress.
Since Chen Wujing wasn't as busy as his son, Ye Ming was able to schedule a meeting with him at 6pm. He immediately informed Liu Zijian who just nodded without looking at him. The meeting place was not far from LCG.
"The meeting about the selection of additional people in K country would be moved to 8pm?" Ye Ming asked.
Liu Zijian raised his head and thought for a while.
"Make it 7:00." He only needed probably less than an hour to talk to Chen Wujing.
"Noted."
When it was exactly 5 o'clock, Liu Zijian's personal mobile phone rang. He immediately answered the call when he saw it was Sir Sigma's number.
It meant only one thing, Han Meixiu was calling him.
"Is there a problem?" He immediately asked as he glanced at the digital clock on his table. His voice was coated with concern and excitement.
So far, this was the earliest call Han Meixiu made while staying in that military camp.
"Xiao Xiao left earlier today." Han Meixiu said in a soft voice.
"Oh," Liu Zijian reacted with a subtle hint of disappointment. What was he expecting?
"Something came up so she had to go back to K country." She continued.
Her voice sounded a bit lonely. Liu Zijian thought she was feeling this way because of Li XIaozhi. He was a bit uncomfortable by the thought.
"Jian...I...I want to see you."
The paper that he was currently holding was abruptly placed back on the table as his expression changed. It was as if the entire surrounding suddenly became spring time once again.
"I'm on my way. Tell Sir Sigma I'll pick you up." He hastily said while couldn't contain his smile. The weariness that he accumulated for the past days were instantly swept away.
"Alright." Han Meixiu answered.
After the call ended, Liu Zijian called Ye Ming who just finished informing the people about the earlier meeting schedule for the day.
The Moment Ye Ming came inside the office, Liu Zijian was already walking towards the door, ready to leave LCG. He was putting on his dark grey over coat.
"Cancel all the meetings. Reschedule my meeting with Chen Wujing tomorrow around lunch time. Tell the other members they can go home early today. The meeting for the selection would be tomorrow early morning."
Ye Ming wanted to cry but couldn't do so. While hastily grabbing his coat and walking briskly to catch up with Liu Zijian, he was dialing string of numbers.
'It's not easy to be his assistant.'

"Thank you Sir Sigma." Han Meixiu politely said after returning the phone to the man.
"Are you really leaving? You're totally fine now?" Sir Sigma wanted to be sure.
"Yes, I am."
Sigma wanted to know confirm if she's really okay now as this favor was especially requested by Mr. Liu.
"That's good. Will Second Young Master Liu pick you up?"
"Yes, he will. He said he's on his way."
"Then, I'll escort you out after you packed your things."

Since Han Meixiu didn't really have much things to begin with, she was ready after a quarter of an hour.
Liu Zijian called her and gave her the estimated time of his arrival. It was already rush hour thus it would take little longer than expected to reach the camp.
While waiting, Han Meixiu decided to visit Mr. Di again. Even though he was considered a criminal, she actually developed a connection to the man. Maybe because out of all the people she knew, he was the only one who's familiar with her parents.
"I'm here to express my gratitude." Han Meixiu started after she settled down inside the hut sitting on the usual wooden chair located near the window. Like always, Major Li was just around.
"I didn't really do much. I just guided you. No need to be thankful. Besides you helped me, too." He replied in a calm voice. "It's boring with just me and Major Li. You and Miss Li's presence made my passing days here not as dull as it used to be."
When Mr. Di mentioned Li Xiaozhi, Han Meixiu's quickly glanced at Major Li but there was no reaction on his face. It was as if the person mentioned was not related to him. Although Han Meixiu wanted to ask what happened to Li Xiaozhi's roommate, she knew she couldn't get any answer from the man.
Her concern wasn't really about the roommate but Li Xiaozhi's reaction. Between the two of them, her best friend was the cry baby.

Inside the car when Ye Ming heard they would go to military camp, he started to get worried. He just finished the last minute changes the Second Young Master Liu mentioned.
'Did something happen to the young mistress?'
But looking at Liu Zijian, it seemed that it was not the case.
Ye Ming observed further. There was a hint of irritation on Liu Zijian's face while looking at the congested road ahead. His boss didn't have enough sleep for the past days, thus he looked exhausted. Sometimes he would just see him dozing off while still sitting on his chair.
Even though the private office of Liu Zijian has actually a small room where he could sleep or take a nap properly, he rarely used it.
"Is there no other way to the camp?" Liu Zijian impatiently asked the chauffeur who was already on the edge as he could feel the growing bad mood of the young master.
"I apologize but we couldn't maneuver anymore as we are stuck in the middle. But according to the navigation, it's only this road that's too congested. After we passed this, we could speed up to arrive there as soon as possible." He said in a controlled voice. Although he looked calm, he was actually nervous. It was seldom that the Second Young Master would show this kind of mood to him.
'He must have been really worried about something and he wants to get there the earliest possible time.' The chauffeur concluded.
