Chapter 567: 567
One hour later . . .
Churu bit her bottom lip as she stared down at his sleeping face . Earlier, she only did what she had done out of desperation . However, why does she feel a little flustered while looking at him?
“It’s nothing . . . this is nothing . . . ” She murmured as she touched her thin lips . She could feel her cheeks heat up once again just thinking about the texture of his lips .
“Ahh . . . !” Churu shook her head profusely . She needed to get whatever silly thoughts that was corrupting her head out of her mind . Alas, she only got a hold of her thoughts when she slapped herself thrice . “It’s almost morning, I should head back to Lexi’s house . ” Churu said, exhaling a heavy sigh .
With that said note, Churu headed to the door and unlocked it . Shortly after, she went back to the side of the bed and checked his life energy again .
After confirming that he was already stable, Churu nodded her head . “I should refrain from showing up in front of him . . . ” Churu muttered as her gaze sized up his peaceful front .
She stared at him for a moment before Churu turned, heading to the slightly opened window . When she prompted to jump out from the window, she cast him one last glance back before she left .
Churu doesn’t understand what was going on with her at the moment . Granting that she transformed in her human form, that didn’t mean she became a human . Hence, it was weird she was having weird emotions she was never familiar with .
On another thought, Churu has more human emotions in her even way back thousands of years ago . She wouldn’t descend from the heavens if she didn’t bear emotions after all .
Still, Churu’s emotions back with Tora wasn’t the same as what she was currently experiencing . Her heart was thumping like crazy and her face was turning hot just the thought of it .

Therefore, Churu decided not to bother him for the time being . With that, at the very least, Morris Liu could naturally recover by this age’s technology .
Also, she had been forcing her existence to him with his current condition . She should take it slowly and ask for Ethan Lu’s help .
Regardless, that didn’t entirely mean she wouldn’t visit him . She only needed to be cautious and make sure that he would be unaware whenever they heal each other .

“Master,” Lyrick Jiang arrived at Ethan and Lexi’s home earlier than usual . Since the breakfast was still being prepared and Lexi was still asleep, Ethan Lu led him to his study room .
“Speak . ” As soon as they reached his study room, Ethan Lu headed to the long sofa . Plopping down, he gestured Lyrick Jiang take any seat available .
“I found out that Miss Tang had a few interactions with Sir Dylan . ” Lyrick Jiang slowly sat opposite his boss before he slid a folder in front of him . “These are some photos of Sir Dylan visiting Miss Tang’s gallery . ” He added sternly .
“Mhmm . . . ” Nodding his head, Ethan Lu opened the folder to see what his assistant was talking about . “Right . . . Vic and Kevin were having a collaboration . ” Seeing some paintings in the background, Ethan Lu instantly noticed Kevin Woo’s signature .
Well, since both were an artist, Kevin Woo and Victoria Tang had become friends . Also, thanks to Victoria Tang, she somehow helped his friend recover from Mia Chen .
Ethan Lu kept on flipping through the photos of Victoria Tang and Dylan Lu . As he scanned everything, Ethan Lu found nothing unusual .
In his perspective, Victoria Tang and Dylan Lu were just like friends . Although they share a few laughs, it was clear in the photos that there was a line drawn between them .

Not to mention, Victoria Tang was their childhood friend . Therefore, it wasn’t a surprise that Dylan Lu was still friends with her . So what’s Louis Lu’s problem?
“Was he jealous? Was Lou competing with me with the most petty hubby award or something?” As Ethan Lu go through the next photos, he murmured .
The more he sees more photos, the more his brow arched . No matter how many photos he had seen, Ethan Lu could not really see any problem with them .
There was nothing fishy about it .
“Master, there’s really nothing wrong with those photos . However, if you went through the logs, there was a time that Sir Dylan visited the gallery but no photos or footage was caught that night . ” Shortly after, Lyrick Jiang explained his findings last night .
“What I mean is, that night, the cctv cameras in the gallery malfunctioned . Not just that, but the same day, Mr . Woo attended a seminar out of the country, and Sir Louis was also in a business trip . ”
“What?” Knitting his brows, Ethan Lu frowned as he somehow didn’t like where this deduction was going . However, Lyrick Jiang didn’t master the craft of being a busybody for nothing .
“Master, the lack of solid proof will only make my words as a speculation . But, inside the folder, I also found out that a large sum of money was put on Sir Dylan’s head two days later . ” Lyrick Jiang sighed as the lack of proof frustrated him . He didn’t enjoy reporting to his master without hard evidences, but he forced himself to do so despite that .
Ethan Lu needed results as soon as possible . Hence, Lyrick Jiang didn’t want to waste time . If his speculation were inaccurate, then at the very least, they had an idea about that suspicious day .
“I see . . . how’s Nico and Red’s side?” Nodding his head in understanding, Ethan Lu seemed to read Lyrick Jiang’s mind clearly .
Whatever happened that night . . . it was certainly connected to Louis Lu’s wrath towards Dylan Lu . Therefore, Ethan Lu needed to have a better understanding on the matter .
“I have heard nothing from them . ” Lyrick Jiang sighed . He knew the two were doing their best, but since their mission was rather complicated, Lyrick Jiang was growing impatient to hear the puzzle piece they would take home with them .
“I see . . . for now, send your trusted men to accompany Lexi for the time being while Nico is not around . ” Getting the grasp of the situation, Ethan Lu commanded and Lyrick Jiang nodded as he received the order .
