Love You More Than I Can Say

"How's the investigation going?" asked the tall man in a black custom-made suit, who was standing by the window. He had a cold aura around him. His icy tone was devoid of any emotion and when he spoke it felt like one was being stung by a thousand needles!

"Sorry, Sir! I...I haven't found any clues yet!" answered the man in front of him sheepishly, lowering his head. The man appeared to be quite strong but was trembling slightly when one looked at him closely.

"What?" The sophisticated gentleman suddenly turned around and asked sharply, "It's been seven years. Your investigation has gone on for so long, but you still haven't found any clue. You've been completely useless to me. I should fire you!"

"I'm sorry, Sir! I will step up my efforts and surely find Miss Luo!" the strong man apologized hastily.

"Will you?" asked the man, raising both, his eyebrows and his voice. "You've been trying to locate her for several years and you've failed! How much longer will it take you to find her now?"

"Um..." The strong man looked at his boss with a mix of terror and embarrassment. "We will do it as soon as possible!"

Edmund Jun strolled up to the strong man menacingly, and finally stopped in front of him. With an evil smile on his face, he slowly moved behind the strong man, raised his foot, and kicked the back of the man's knees.

"Ah!" Yelping in pain, the strong man collapsed on to the ground as his knees buckled. A thin layer of sweat covered his forehead. He did not dare to move, afraid that if he made his boss unhappy, he would be punished more severely.

At the same time, he secretly cursed his three companions. They always pushed him to take the fall every time they had to report to Edmund Jun. 'Those scumbags!' he thought angrily.

"Now, I'm asking you once more. How long will it take? Don't test my patience," demanded Edmund Jun, as he sauntered back to the soft leather chair behind the desk and elegantly sunk into it.

Sweat trickled down the strong man's forehead. The question on everyone's mind was: did something bad happen to Miss Luo since she had not been found yet? But nobody dared to say it out loud in front of Edmund Jun as they didn't want to die. He wasn't a man they could afford to anger.

Closing his eyes, the strong man swallowed hard and said, "Please give us three more months! If we can't find her in three months, we will accept any punishment given by you, Sir!"

'At least I won't be alone on the road to the hell, because there are three more people outside,' thought the strong man somewhat happily.
