Chapter 583: 583
Meanwhile, as he watched the couple leave, Churu also arrived where Lyrick Jiang was parked .
“Ricky, was that Lexi?” Snapping Lyrick Jiang back from his trance, Churu asked .
“Ah, yes . Go in — we’ll tail them . ” Refocusing his eyes on Churu, Lyrick Jiang gestured her to hitch inside the vehicle so they could catch up on their masters .
“Eh? Have you caught Dylan yet?” Knitting her brows, Churu asked once again as she entered the front passenger seat .
“No, not yet . ” Lyrick Jiang answered as he buckled his seat .
“Why not? You already know he’s involve in many illegal things?” Churu frowned as she tilted her head to the side . To her, she could not comprehend why they were stalling time if they could catch Dylan Lu in an instant .
“There are laws to follow . The authorities couldn’t arrest him without a warrant of arrest . ” While Lyrick Jiang revved up the engine, he answered in a matter-of-fact tone .
Although Ethan Lu had already filed a case against his cousin, it was just the case for the incident earlier . It still needed a proper and fair trial after all .
The reason why Lyrick Jiang had issued an all out investigation in Dylan Lu’s connection in the underworld . Moreover, as this case would pursue, the Lu Corporation would be inflicted as well and would be put under question regarding its operation .
No doubt why Ethan Lu was in such a distressing state . He was being sandwich in everything and must be thinking how to salvage as many things as he could .
Understandable, the Lu Corporation wasn’t the cleanest company . Hence, this might uncover the Lu Family’s history and the previous association with a mob family in the past .
“This world is really weird . ” Thinking of Lyrick Jiang’s explanation, Churu’s frown turned uglier .

Due to Ethan Lu’s beliefs on the ‘law’, his actions had to pause every once in a while . Churu knew this wasn’t good enough . Dylan Lu was still out there, walking as a free man .
Who knows what he would do tomorrow? Or even what he was planning right now?
Although Churu had an idea about containing Dylan Lu to be sure, Churu hesitated because she couldn’t leave Ethan Lu’s side — especially at the time like this . Hence, after contemplating about it, Churu stayed and let the authorized humans do their duty .

“How are you feeling?” Sliding her hand to the front passenger seat where her husband perched, Lexi asked .
She constantly give him a side glance and the more Lexi see how distressed he was, the more she felt worried .
“Awful . ” Ethan Lu answered as he slid his hands to her . “I feel like my head will explode . ” He added through a mutter .
Since they entered the subdivision where her parents lived in, Lexi decided to pull over and then turned to Ethan Lu’s figure .
“Come, let me massage your head . ” Lexi offered . It’s the least she could do hence, if massaging his head would help, she wouldn’t mind doing it any time, anywhere .
Slowly, Ethan Lu opened his eyes as he looked at Lexi’s pair of worried eyes . “You’re really pretty, you know?” Out of nowhere, Ethan Lu complimented as he unhurriedly blinked his eyes while not breaking away his gaze from his lovely wife .
However, his compliment made Lexi roll her eyes . “I know and I also know you’re trying to divert your attention, Mister Lu . ”
“Can I kiss you?” Despite her sarcasm, Ethan Lu remained staring at her beautiful visage .
“Tsk,” Clicking her tongue, Lexi still leaned forward to leave a peck on his lips . However, before she could retract her head away from him, Ethan Lu’s palm held on the back of her head .

“Hmm!” Letting out a protesting moan, Lexi patted on his shoulder . However, that only caused him to press his lips against hers; harder and deeper .
Guiding her lips to open, his tongue twirled inside her . Lexi unconsciously grasp on his sleeves as she shut her eyes close .
“Hmm?” Knitting his brows, Ethan Lu frowned as he slowly break from their kiss . “What happened?” Sensing something wrong with her reaction, Ethan Lu sized her up with a narrowed eyes .
“Ah,” slightly disoriented, Lexi cleared her throat as she scratched the back of her head and draw away from him . “I just remembered Vic . ” Heaving a heavy sigh, the corner of her eyes slightly formed tears .
Lexi had been keeping her emotions balanced since earlier that day . Not just Ethan Lu, but also, Lexi had a rough day from all the news that rushed inside her mind .
“Right, you’re with her earlier . ” Ethan Lu nodded his head in understanding, he studied Lexi’s strange expression which made him curious . However, he remained silent and waited for his wife to regain her composure .
“You alright?” He asked after a minute as he slid his fingers in between hers .
“Yes — No, actually . ” Lexi nodded her head before she shook her head sideways . “I heard about what happened to Vic and Lu . . . and Dylan . ” After spouting Dylan Lu’s name, a deep sigh slipped from her lips .
“Dylan . . . right, Lou is after him . ” Recalling that he haven’t mention it to his wife, Ethan Lu also sighed in distress . “Did you find out what happened?” Since the reports haven’t reached Ethan Lu, he hoped that Lexi found out a thing or two .
“Yes . . . ” Hanging her head low, a bitter smile formed on the side of her lips . “Vic . . . she — Dylan drugged her and . . . ” Lexi’s voice cracked, unable to muster the words to tell Ethan Lu about the horrible thing that happened to Victoria Tang .
Lexi, though sounded calm and tried to cheer Victoria Tang — and then talked sense to Louis Lu �� she was enraged herself about Dylan Lu’s unforgivable sin .
“She was raped . ” Biting her lower lips harder, Lexi’s hand that Ethan Lu was holding clenched tighter, causing it to tremble . Little did she know, her fury about the said man would be heavier when Ethan Lu spoke .
“I see . . . ” not surprised about it, Ethan Lu had guessed it already . He just needed a confirmation which Lexi just did . “I also got to know it was him who was behind the minor accident earlier . “
“What?” Knitting her brows, Lexi raised her head as she peered at Ethan Lu’s side profile .
“I already pressed charges but, it still need a proper trial to prove him guilty . ” As disappointed as Lexi, Ethan Lu frowned .
