Chapter 517
Ethan Lu leaned his back against the executive chair . He looked at Churu who was lazily rolling on the top stack of documents he has to finish .
“What a boring life . . . ” As Churu interfered with Ethan Lu’s concentration, she shamelessly dawdled before she landed on the next pile of documents that were a little lower in level .
“What do you want me to do, Chacha? I have a family to support . ” Ethan Lu massaged his temples as he took a break from reviewing each document .
He was the one doing all the work and yet, by the looks of it, Churu seemed more tired than him . For Pete’s sake! She did nothing but lie there and complain!
“First of all, I’m not Chacha . ” When Churu lied her back, she turned her head back, which could make her see him from an upside-down perspective . “Second, you have me in your system but, we would die with all these workloads!”
“Aya, get used to it . ” Ethan Lu responded to both of her replies . Well, he got used to calling him Chacha just because it sounded cuter . Moreover, he couldn’t just ditch his work just because they were too much .
After all, he wasn’t the old Ethan Lu that would run away whenever things get tough . Also, the company that he leads was huge . Hence, he needed to work extra smart and hard than most of the employees .
Just then, Ethan Lu heard a knock from outside before the door slowly opened, revealing Lyrick Jiang .
“Master, the initial investigation of the plane crash had shown results and it was due to a technical malfunction . We were still verifying the legitimacy of it . ” When Lyrick Jiang stood in front of the CEO’s desk, he tipped his glasses and reported .

“Did they accepted our help?” Raising his brows, Ethan Lu inquired .
Although Ethan Lu was safe from that crash, he wanted to know if it was orchestrated or not . After all, Churu was clueless about it since she just arrived when he first encountered her . Thus, she couldn’t tell .
Furthermore, Ethan Lu needed to make the people behind it pay if it was intentional . His instincts had told him that this wouldn’t be the first one . If he has the system, that meant it wouldn’t stop there .
At the very least, he somewhat uncovered Dylan Lu’s motives . Which to say, Ethan Lu had a lead and could use him to discover more— that includes his accomplices .
“Yes,” Nodding his head, Lyrick Jiang’s demeanor was solemn . Upon hearing his master’s suspicions, Lyrick Jiang executed his duty precisely .
If Ethan Lu was correct, then, Lyrick Jiang would be more merciless as he had already steeled his heart . This attack, whether it was a pure coincidence or intentional, he needed to get to the bottom of it .
“I see . ” Ethan Lu offered a meek smile as he nodded in satisfaction . “Anyway, do you have any idea if Uncle Den is in his office?”
“Huh?” Surprised by his sudden question, Lyrick Jiang blinked his eyes several times before he cleared his throat . “From what I know, Director Dennis Lu is here today . ” He sternly answered .
“Alright . ” Ethan Lu stretched his lips up and nodded . With that, Lyrick Jiang bowed his head and left the office .
As soon as Lyrick Jiang closed the door, Ethan Lu glanced at the relaxing dumpling on his desk . “Chacha, did you say you’re bored doing nothing?”
“No, I am dead bored . ”
“Heh, then I’ll give you a mission . ” Slowly, a cunning smile formed on the side of Ethan Lu’s lips .

Churu rolled and laid in a prone position with her head up, looking at the sly expression plastered across his face . Seeing it clearer, her mood gradually brightened up .
“Can you eavesdrop at my uncles’ office? I wanted to visit him but, I just need to load my guns . ” Ethan Lu winked and clicked her tongue to the excited dumpling .
In a blink of an eye, Churu had already had a change of clothes . This time, it’s not an outdated professor or a cheerleader; Churu’s get-up was akin to an assassin .
More or less, her whole costume seemed to be inspired by a Hollywood movie Black Widow . The only difference was that Churu was still bald which made Ethan Lu’s under eye to twitch .
“What’s the need for the costume?” Feeling his whole face distorting, Ethan Lu asked . The teacher and cheerleading get up still made her look cute . However, Churu wearing a sexy outfit but failing miserably, Ethan Lu felt bad for her .
“Because I have a wardrobe!” In a matter of fact tone, Churu shrugged . “Also, it helps me to be in character~” as if Churu haven’t guessed what was inside his mind, she proudly added as her whole figure sparkled with pride .
“Right, right . His office is not that far from mine so I can still hear you . Just tell me if you heard anything interesting . ” Ethan Lu sighed heavily while staring at Churu . He decided to let her be to whatever that made her happy and instructed her to the mission he gave out .
“Aye aye~!” Churu saluted, and with a poof, she was gone .
Ethan Lu didn’t bother to tell where’s Dennis Lu’s office because Churu made her rounds earlier to safeguard the whole Lu Corporation headquarters . Therefore, she obviously memorized its whole blueprint and each department and offices — including Dennis Lu’s office .
“Well, I must admit that she’s too reliable . ” Ethan Lu sighed once again as he closed the documents he finished earlier . Just then, he heard a notification from his phone which made him glance at him .
Seeing that Lexi sent him an email, he knitted his brows . After all, Lexi rarely sent him official emails because she would either call or chat with him if she missed him .
Opening the email, Ethan Lu’s puzzlement grew vivid in his front seeing that she sent him a video file . He played it and his eyes slowly widened with the short five-second video .
On the screen, he repeated the video and Ethan Lu gasped . Why does the man on the video look exactly like him?
