Chapter 425 - Untitled
That medical report of his had been locked permanently in the safe. Perhaps, it would never see the light of day for the remainder of his life. For a man like Chu Lui, to reveal the nature of this report was the same as putting his pride and arrogance in the mud to be trampled by the others. He would never recover from this.
His eyes were dark and profound as he twirled the pen between his fingers, lips tightly pursed into a straight line. His aura was hostile like an erupting volcano and frozen and snow-covered land.
He cast a side glance at the person who was going to speak. In an instant, that person swallowed so hard as though he was swallowing his own tongue.
“Lui, you’re back.” Li Manni stood up from the sofa quickly when she heard the door opened. When she saw that Chu Lui had entered, she followed him with the intention of taking his briefcase from him.

Embarrassed, Li Manni finally retracted her hand which hung in mid-air for a long time. “Lui…” She pursed her lips gently together. Why was it so painful to speak that one word nowadays?
Chu Lui turned around. The emotions hidden beneath his dark eyes were gone in a flash. They were vast like the galaxy, but there were no stars in sight because the search was unlimited.

“Lui, I’m coming in.”
