18 Familiarizing Oneself

Long Ying was amused when he saw Yu Yan's expression. Did she not read the nameplate when she walked here?

Yu Yin was dazed until she read the name that was written on top of the paper on Long Ying's desk.

'Ng Express'

'Right… this is a delivery company in City F that's pretty common?' Yu Yan's lips twitched at the thought. There were several delivery company and Ng Express was only one of them, but this one was considered as a small company and only few people used it.

The review only stated that they were not as fast as other delivery company.

"Did you made this company?" Yu Yan asked. If she was not wrong, Ng Express was only built around five years or so ago. That was one of the reasons why it couldn't compete with the other competitors.

"Yes."

"Your management ability suck."

Long Ying smiled lightly. He didn't even take care of this company in person and let his men managed it. Since this was nothing more than a cover, it was already more than enough if they didn't waste so much money and created a very unprofitable business.

"Then, would my wife help me out?"

"You want me to help you?"

"Sure."

Yu Yan then looked at the paper on Long Ying's desk. Her lips pursed. "Are you sure you won't sue me for looking at your secrets?"

"Secret? Why should there be any secret between husband and wife?"

Yu Yan: "…" that sounded true, but at the same time, she felt that there was something wrong with using that in this kind of context.

"Fine, but don't sue me if I ever figure out your secret."

"If you can even figure out my secret, I'll be instead feeling surprised." Long Ying handed the paper on the side of the table to Yu Yan. He had no intention of hiding anything from her and let her be inside his world bit by bit. That way, she would never be able to leave him anymore.

"Huh, don't be so cocky."

"Hahaha."

An Lin, who was standing by the door and wanted to knock, accidentally heard his Boss laughing. "…"

Should he come inside or not?

He wanted to hand over some important documents that Long Ying needed to review but hearing how the two of them were so close to each other like that made him hesitant.

"What are you doing standing here?" a man walked down the stair and looked at An Lin with furrowed brows. He seemed to be confused why An Lin didn't do his work faster.

"Boss is busy."

"Just deliver it to him first. What's wrong with that…" The man didn't wait for An Lin to reply as he pushed the door open. He walked inside and greeted, "Boss, have you heard that yesterday…"

Yu Yan had just started to look at the paper when she saw a man swaggered in. The man was dressed in suit but there was no tie and the last button seemed to be missing. Compared to other employees, he looked more like a troublemaker than an honest worker.

Long Ying didn't even look up from the paper when he replied, "What do you want, Lan Huo?"

The man, Lan Huo, woke up from his stupor and grinned sheepishly. "Sorry, Boss. I didn't know you're busy."

"State your business."

"Yes!" by now, Lan Huo knew that Long Ying didn't mind if Yu Yan heard. "The police had given us their review. It seems that they did find the trace and wished that our cooperation could last."

"You can go on my behalf." Long Ying didn't seem to have any interest in this trivial matter anymore.

Lan Huo was speechless. Was this the same Boss who asked them to finish collecting the evidence this dawn and even threatened them if they couldn't do their work well?

An Lin sighed when he saw Lan Huo who was speechless. He walked inside and put the stack of documents on the table. "This is from the Capital City, Boss."

Long Ying didn't reply and merely nodded his head. An Lin had long gotten used to Long Ying's behavior, so he didn't think it was strange. His eyes landed on Yu Yan, who was standing on the side while holding paper with doubts.

That was…

"Your subordinate can't even count properly, Ying."
