Kiss With Mr. CEO

Chapter 35 - Unexpected Emergency

Ever since secretary Zhang Xin had gotten that message demanding his immediate presence by his boss, he had been anxious.

"Mr. Li, is it an emergency?" He asked over the phone.

After a short pause of silence, Mr. Li said.

"Yes"

"Hold on, President Li I'll be right there." Zhang Xin said in a firm, committed tone.

"Also bring the men under you," Li Luxian suggested.

Zhang Xin thought that the matter must be quite critical this time for Mr. Li asking him to bring other men too.

"Mr. Li is it really that serious?"

"It is serious." Li Luxian voice was grave. "The more people there are, the better."

"Alright, Mr. Li."

It has been a while since they encountered any destructive confrontation. But knowing Li Luxian power and the type of people he dealt with, such violent conflicts were unavoidable. Zhang Xin still remembered the time when they had gotten in a fierce gunfight and a lot of casualties occurred. They hardly managed to save their boss's life.

Packing himself with his most advanced guns and taking his best marksmen with him, Zhang Xin hurriedly sped to the location Mr. Li had sent to him.

"Mr. Zhang, should we take our bulletproof vests with us," One of the men asked judging the severity of the situation.

"Do it. Do it. Mr. Li said it was an emergency. He had never used the word 'emergency' to anything before even when we were ambushed." Zhang Xin said in a pensive tone.

The urgency in Mr. Li's tone was incontestable. It was best if they proceeded prepared well with all precautions.

Taking his men equipped with the best weapons, Zhang Xin stepped at the entrance of that huge building. He, along with others, was vigilant all the time as their ears and eyes were heedful to every minute suspicious movement. All the passer-by threw curious glances in their direction as they spotted five big, burly men dressed in black. They stood out tall in the general public due to their attire and muscular bodies.

Zhang Xin thought that it was rather peculiar because of all such previous meetings they had, were carefully limited to private places. But the location Mr. Li had sent this time was fairly public.

"Mr. Zhang where to now?" One of the men who also looked confounded due to this unexpected arrangement asked in an unsure tone.

Zhang Xin frowned.

"Mr. Li sent for the seventh floor."

"Isn't it just a mall? What serious predicament can befall here?" One of the men asked.

They were already getting doubtful as they looked at each other.

"Silence. Mr. Li. said it was serious so it must be serious. Have you forgotten about your training? Stay focused and don't let your mind wander to useless ideas." Zhang Xin said in a stringent, authoritative tone that quietened everyone.

As they scuttled to the floor Mr. Li mentioned, they spotted him standing alone in the VIP sections holding something in his hands. His back was visible to them. The owner of the mall who was serving Li Luxian and he looked quite tense and fretful in Li Luxian domineering aura. Once spotting those five armed men, he further paled.

"Mr. Li. we are here. What emergency is it?", Zhang Xin said as they all assumed a defensive circle around Li Luxian in case anyone was about to jump out and open fires at them.

Li Luxian turned slowly and gracefully. His eyes still focused on those two little boxes in his hands. A puzzled look unfolded on his countenance

"I can't seem to decide" Li Luxian said pensively. "Which ring should I choose for my wife?"

Zhang Xin: "...."
