Chapter 1526 I Don't Blame Her
"What are you thinking?" Noah asked. "If he is coming for her, then he has to face me first," Lu Lijun answered with determination.
"Don't worry. You have us. How smart he can be, he can not outsmart us," Noah said to which Lu Lijun only nodded.
"Can I ask you something, if you don't mind?" Noah said. Lu Lijun looked at him, "Go ahead."
"Have you never blamed her for losing your brother? Not even for a moment?" Noah asked. Lu Lijun stayed silent for a while before speaking. "It would be a lie to say that I didn't."
"It's alright if you thought that way," Noah sided with him. "Back then ten years back when I heard brother Feng and brother Han talking about this and she was the reason brother Qiang lost his life, I was angry. I was so angry that I didn't know what I should do. I went to my room and took my anger out on everything that I could see in my sight. I cared for nothing and turned the entire room into a mess and even hurt myself."
Noah continued to hear him. "I was just a kid back then who loved his brother and might wished to find someone to blame on for that loss," he continued, "first I was angry at her for agreeing to send me away and then I got another reason to show my anger. I went unconscious as I was hurt and could not handle this shock. She was the only one that existed in my world after my brother died and I could not accept the truth. I wanted to go away...wanted to run away from everything and pretend I knew nothing and everything was alright."
"And you agreed to come to England," Noah asked. "Yes," Lu Lijun agreed, "When I saw her the next day, all I could do was to forgive her. I don't know why, but to me she was someone who could never be wrong as if I was blinded by something. I agreed to come to London. Here I thought about various things and tried to understand her. My brother's death had affected her more than it could have affected anyone and she was the most hurt person since the start. What happened with her in the USA and what happened with her in China, she was always the victim. I just forgave her and never held her responsible for what wrong others did with her."
"For a twelve year boy, you were so smart to understand such deep things," Noah praised with honesty. "I am glad I could understand her."
"Then all that anger and hate for her, what was that for?" Noah asked curiously.
"For not calling me or coming to me even once as if I didn't exist for her. I hated her for this as I expected a lot from her. It was as if I had lost another important person to me who was right there, just a call away but I could not reach her."
"Hmm, that's reasonable as long as you don't blame her for your brother's death."
"I don't. Those people are the ones to be blamed and I will make sure to pay them back for what they did with her and my brother," Lu Lijun replied. "I am always with you in this. Time to get the bad guys."
"From the bad guys, I remembered Jake. Where is he?"
"I didn't see him in a while."
"You didn't even call him to ask?"
"There was no need to do so."
"You dumbass," Lu Lijun frowned and dialled Jake's contact number. The call went through but was not received. He tried once again but there was no reply. "Where is this guy?" Lu Lijun mumbled with a frown and looked at Noah, "something happened between you two again?"
"I swear, nothing this time," Noah raised his hand to swear.
"When was the last time you saw him?"
"That day when he emptied all of my beer cans," Noah replied and narrowed his eyes at Lu Lijun, "Of course he came to me on someone's special instructions."
"You have his assistant's number, call him," Lu Lijun instructed, ignoring what he said. Noah diallead Jake's assistant's contact number and put it on speaker. When the call was received and the voice was heard, Lu Lijun asked, "Where is Jake?"
"Mr Jake has been on leave for the past two days."
"Leave? What happened? First tell me if he is in China."
"Yes, he is here."
"Where is he staying?" Lu Lijun asked as he knew he was not staying with Noah.
"Uhm…" the assistant hesitated, "he is not in the hotel he was staying in and no one have any idea where he is. Last time I talked to him, he just said not to worry about him and leave him alone for a while."
Lu Lijun felt worried and Noah's expressions changed as well which he tried to control. Lu Lijun got his mobile once again and dialled one number. The moment it was picked he heard the familiar voice. "Out of my precious time, I already gave so many hours to your sister and your wife. What more do you want from me?"
"You get paid for those precious hours of yours," Lu Lijun replied.
"Directly jumping to the business, young man."
"This is how you understand the talk."
"If you are done making me understand the things, let me tell you what you are looking for, is in my home."
Lu Lijun could say nothing as this man as usual got him and heard An Tian again, "Don't be surprised to know that I got you. But know that he is not well and you need to go there. If you can't, then I will have to return."
"Don't worry. I will go there," Lu Lijun assured and hung up the call. "What did he say?" Noah asked. "I have to go there," Lu Lijun picked up his jacket in hurry and was ready to leave, leaving Noah curious. He stopped at the door and looked at Noah, "You can join if you want."
Noah immediately stood up as if he was waiting for this and followed Lu Lijun.
