Chapter 572

“Master! Are you alright?!” When Lyrick Jiang snapped, he immediately turned to check Ethan Lu from the back passenger seat .

“Yes . . . ” Nodding his head, Ethan Lu raised his gaze to the opened door where Churu departed . He saw her jogged her way away from their car, seemingly going to where the rider headed .

However, how could she keep up with a speeding motorcycle with her pace? Even if she sprinted, Churu wouldn’t catch up . . . or so he thought .

Ethan Lu’s gaze continued to follow her jogging figure and when she was quite a distance — where no other people could notice her — Churu suddenly vanished . Ethan Lu was unsure if she jumped or run, but what he was certain was she was too fast that he didn’t see what happened .

Meanwhile, upon confirming that his master was fine, Lyrick Jiang called for the police and medical help . Although none of them were physically hurt, Lyrick Jiang wanted to make sure his master was fine .

After several minutes, the police arrived, and an ambulance followed . They questioned Lyrick Jiang while medical professionals examined Ethan Lu .

“Master,” When Lyrick Jiang was done with the police, he approached Ethan Lu that was sitting on the opened ambulance .

“What did they say?” Ethan Lu massage his shoulder as he could feel a slight pain .

“Apparently, this road has limited cctv . We are still waiting if they caught the biker in footage . ” Lyrick Jiang reported with a heavy sigh .

By the looks of it, the biker knew that this area was still unsecured . Although it was too advanced for Lyrick Jiang to conclude, however his gut feeling was telling him it was intentional .

Recalling Churu’s words earlier, Lyrick Jiang frowned . What she said was true . Aside from being inexperienced in combat, Lyrick Jiang wasn’t also that keen .

He was certain that if Jarred Guo was the one driving earlier, he would have noticed if they were being tailed . After all, Jarred Guo’s radar for danger was efficient — the reason he became Ethan Lu’s driver and bodyguard .

“Stop putting that ugly frown on your face . ” Seeing the sullen expression on Lyrick Jiang’s face, Ethan Lu shook his head . “Send some of our men to help with the investigation . We have to know if this was intentional, or he was just a reckless driver . ” Ethan Lu commanded .

“Huh? Y – yes!” Snapping from his trance, Lyrick Jiang stuttered as he nodded his head .

“Don’t lose your composure . ” Ethan Lu reminded .

There was a reason why he would often deploy Nico Zhuang and Jarred Guo, but often keep Lyrick Jiang by his side . Aside from Nico Zhuang being the perfect protector of Lexi, Ethan Lu knew his men too well .

He was confident that once Nico Zhuang grew fond of Lexi — which he was certain he would — Nico Zhuang would protect her even if his life was on the line . He was as loyal as that . It wasn’t that Jarred Guo and Lyrick Jiang couldn’t do that, but they were things that Nico Zhuang could do, that only he was capable .

That was to be his wife’s reliable friend .

On the other hand, Ethan Lu kept Lyrick Jiang in his side because he believed that even under great pressure, Lyrick Jiang could keep his composure . After all, Ethan Lu needed an extra mind whenever his own was rattled .

Also, Ethan Lu has confidence with his right-hand man . He believed that Lyrick Jiang could overcome anything using his wits, no matter how dire and dangerous the situation .

As for Jarred Guo, Ethan Lu could only depend on things as investigations, and avoid incidents like this . After all, the said man’s radar whenever danger comes close was strong .

This means to say, the three of them had their weaknesses and strengths . Ethan Lu looked more on their strengths . Therefore, he couldn’t afford Lyrick Jiang losing his composure .

“My apologies, master . ” Ashamed, Lyrick Jiang hanged his head low .

“Remember, I can only rely on you at a time like this . Never lose your head . ” Ethan Lu reminded as a faint sigh escaped his lips . “Because if you did, we’ll both be dead . ” He added, snapping some facts on him .

“Master . . . ” Slowly, Lyrick Jiang raised his gaze and met Ethan Lu’s soft yet dominant eyes .

“What Churu said, although they were true, that doesn’t mean we’re truly vulnerable . ” Looking straight at his assistant’s eyes, Ethan Lu stated . “I believe in you so, believe in your capabilities . ” 

“Yes,” after a second, Lyrick Jiang bowed his head as his confidence slowly returned . It was silly of him to sulk just because of a little insecurity .

Sensing that the Lyrick Jiang he knew returned, Ethan Lu nodded his head as the corner of his lips curled into a meek smile . After that, Lyrick Jiang excused himself as he needed to make his move and instruct their men to do what needed to be done .

Meanwhile, Ethan Lu sighed as he stared at the direction Churu headed . “Did she catch him . . . ?” He muttered .

Although Ethan Lu wasn’t certain, with what he witnessed earlier, he could not help but wonder . After all, that was the first time he witnessed something out of this world . No one could vanish into thin air just like that .

On the second thought, Churu’s existence had always been out of this world . Not to mention, the system within him . Therefore, upon recalling that Churu was initially a dumplings, and now a young human adult, Ethan Lu somehow wasn’t surprised anymore .

“I hope she could . . . ” Ethan Lu murmured hopefully . Catching the person might give them a good lead as he doubts their investigation would give enough proof .

Just then, Ethan Lu felt his phone inside his pocket suit vibrate . Checking who it was, Ethan Lu sighed upon seeing it was Lexi . “She probably heard what happened . ” Ethan Lu whispered before glancing at Lyrick Jiang .

“Of course, he told her . ” Ethan Lu shook his head and clicked his tongue . He then answered the call and in that instant, he had to hold his phone three inches away from his ear until Lexi could calm down .
