Around two something in the afternoon Liang JianAmal's assistant, Luo Jun, received a call from his boss. His ordinarily fairly even-tempered boss seemed to be extremely livid on that day and ordered him to set up a team and to search the entirety of a certain area for traces of the girl they had come to find. Even though he had just checked into his hotel room after the long flight.
Sighing helplessly Luo Jun reviewed the image he had already received to begin his search. In the small picture he had received, a beautiful smiling Asian woman with deep blue eyes, and a slight caucasian look to her within her nose, jawline, and figure was featured. Her gaze was focused directly at whoever held the camera with admiration, adoration and a touch of shyness.
Setting it down with a sigh, Luo Jun wondered what was worth so much about the woman, when he received a message containing coordinates.
Since he had his orders Luo Jun immediately made a few calls and put together a team to help him search around the area he had been given. Together with the men they eventually found a beat-up wallet, in a dumpster within an alleyway. Inside was the woman's ID, stating her name and address. Miss Dumont, Chang Xi.
'Hmm, just who is this woman that has our boss pursuing her so.'
After reporting his findings, Mr. Liang had immediately then ordered him to inquire around the area with Miss Dumont's ID card, until he found out more about her. As soon as he found a lead he was to follow up again for further instructions.
Lamenting the sleep he would not see until he saw it through completely Luo Jun continued to trudge on. After an hour of inquiring about the woman from people who had seen her, or someone like her, he found that she frequently patronaged a karaoke bar near there.
Once he reported that, Luo Jun was then instructed to stay there until she arrived, and that he was to go there every night if necessary until she showed up. He was also instructed to keep all the individual karaoke rooms rented out so that she would be unable to seclude herself in there private when she came.
Mr. Liang stated his assurance of her arrival there being a "when" and not an "if," at his complaints.
As just an assistant, he felt most aggrieved and almost wanted to cry at his boss's inhumane orders, especially as the hours passed with him sitting there, waiting for her to show up.
Luo Jun desperately wished the clock would strike two, so he could return to the hotel to actually get some sleep but dreaded the thought of doing it again the next day. Of having to keep showing up an just waiting day after day until she came, if she came.
After several hours on the first day though, she did come. Looking for more ravishing than the ID picture or the image he had been given could even begin to capture. Walking in, dressed all in black with long shapely legs bared, she looked like a queen of the night there to capture men's hearts.
When she walked in, many of the men in the giant room had stared openly including himself for a few moments before he caught himself. Luo Jun found himself dazed several times by her, but tried to keep his eyes firmly averted from her exposed flesh in fear of punishment his boss would dole out if he knew. The sight of her on the stage had completely captured the souls of everyone in the room.
Chang was unaware of any of that though, as she stood on the stage letting her heart fly with the words, wishing they would reach him somehow, even though it was impossible. Standing there as the song came to a close Chang felt a few tears trickle out unbidden. At the close, Chang spoke the words in a whisper, a heartfelt chant, what she wanted but could not be.
After a second or two of stunned silence everyone people in the crowd stood to applaud her. After finishing Chang came to awareness of all the people below, loudly clapping and quickly left the stage, making a beeline to Justin.
On the way people congratulated her profusely and paid her compliments but she could only nod blankly as she still felt the ringing from the microphone in her ears.
Coming to sit next to Justin, Chang gave him a small smile as he gave her small applause himself. Wiping away the two stubborn tears that clung to her cheek, Chang reached forward and grabbed her drink, downing the last of it.
Justin sat and stared at her for a moment before realizing that his moment was now, if he wanted to pull the information he wanted. Thinking for a moment on it, he passed her the last of his glass. This was her fifth or sixth now, so she definitely would not be having anymore after this. With just a little more liquid truth it would be ensured that the mystery was unveiled tonight.
As soon as she sat, Luo Jun sent the video to Mr. Liang and waited for a reply, but did not have to wait too long. Before there was even time enough for him to have seen the video that had been recorded, he sent further, shorter instructions in a message.
'I am coming, stall her if necessary.'
