Chapter 187: Tough Choice
Meanwhile, outside the university where Lana entered, there was a black car parked a little further away from theirs. The car had heavily tinted windows and it was impossible to see who was sitting inside from outside.
"They both left already. Should we follow him?" The assistant asked, looking at the boss from the rearview mirror. They were following Liam's car from the time it left the Huang mansion.
When they reached the university, they saw Lana stepping out from the car and a small glimpse of Liam was also visible along with Lana.
"No need to follow him. Let's just finish our aim some other time. Find out about that other person in the car. Are they both boyfriend and girlfriend?"
The assistant turned and handed over a tablet to her.
"I have a little information about the other person. Here please check in the report. They both seem to be in a relationship. They are staying together at Huang's Mansion and I'm still checking the matter on why they both are staying together there. It seems they are already engaged or… married!."
The boss gasped hearing this and then followed by a long deep frustrated sigh. The assistant was a bit afraid of the Boss' temper but knew how much the boss wanted to meet the person right in front of them.
After a long struggle, they decided to follow and find a chance to show their presence but things didn't look very optimistic. Happiness sure costs a lot in this world and it was never easy to get everything.
"Make sure you find out all the details about that person and remember to do it all confidentially. Let's avoid any loose ends… You know I don't want to be discovered before time is right."
"Yes Boss." replied the assistant.
"Let's go now. I cannot be late." The assistant heard the instructions of her boss and stepped on the gas and drove out from the university at high speed.

Liam chuckled alone inside his car as he gently touched his lips. He was already driving and on his way at the office. He could not help but again wonder how long it would take until Lana acknowledged her true feelings for him.
He opened the radio and focussed on the road while grinning every once in a while recalling Lana's expressions. Then he remembered Lana's birthday was coming soon and even her graduation day was nearing. He wanted to give his dear wife an unforgettable surprise. He started to think of ways to surprise her but nothing landed in his brain.
As he was forcing his brain to get a little creative in love his mobile rang and it was Miley who called him. He answered it through the speakerphone in his car.
"Bro… Dad is bugging me. He said you and Lana must visit him this weekend…" Miley mumbled while she was on her way to her office. Their father reminded her again about it during breakfast.
"Yes, we will. And Miley, can I ask you for a favor?"
"Sure bro…"
"Help me to plan a surprise for Lana on her birthday and graduation. You know I'm not good at such things."
"Of course bro I will. When is sis' birthday?" Miley excitedly asked. Liam told her the date immediately.
As soon as Liam arrived in his office, the first thing he did was to mobilize his people to investigate the events and all other data that they gathered and information received from Zayn. He also asked a few people to keep tracking Doug and his movements. They must track and find his bank accounts and their detailed transactions in the last year. His doubt was becoming concrete now.
"Call Luo…" he instructed Mian and soon Luo arrived in his office.
She was the best in this kind of work and above all she was someone he could trust blindly.
Liam briefed her with all the information and the things he needed to check and confirm.
Luo shook her head and commented, "If that uncle is indeed the culprit, he must be severely punished for this crime. How heatless can a human be born to kill the groom on the wedding day and make the bride a scapegoat for his heinous crime.
Don't worry boss I will make sure a warrant for this man will be on his way soon."
Liam nodded then jested, "what would I do once you leave my firm to check on Lana?"
Luo laughed and mumbled, "Well I sure can work extra hours boss. You know my deal… Call me whenever you need me… Just don't forget that my pay should be doubled then…"
This time Liam chuckled and mumbled, "how could I forget that when you are shamelessly reminding me about it, even without me asking for any extra work from you yet…"
Luo answered him with only a shrug before asking, "So is it confirmed Lana would go to Yao's legal firm? They are really running fast in getting in line with us… Just recently they signed a close deal to represent big hotel chains and have also included big hospital groups like Yang Globals group and Life Hospital group."
Liam raised his eyebrow and mumbled, "How come you're so updated huh?"
"You know I like doing my assignments in advance so I already have enough information about them, front and back boss. I prefer that my generous employer gets satisfied with all the assigned tasks to me so that my service will always be asked for…"
"Do you know that money is not the only thing that makes the world go round… I believe it's love that works better." Liam unconsciously pointed out. At the back of his head he was referring to the love he had for Lana and his family. They were the ones who made his world go round.
Luo's face cringed… Before her boss could utter any more lovestruck wisdom she quickly asked, "Boss do you need anything else? If we are done let me get back to my office and work. Gosh, you have changed a lot… Anyway for me it's still money that can make me happy…"
Liam signaled Luo to leave. He suddenly saw his old self in the woman standing in front of him… Someone who could not stand any words of wisdom regarding love...
