Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Inside Uncle Zhi’s shop, Yue Ling’s tall and slender figure stood unmoving in the center of the empty place. Her bluish green eyes stares attentively at the wooden door she had entered.

The sound of faint gunshots can be heard but her expression held no ounce of fear. If she was not pregnant, she would be out there with everyone and not standing in here.

However, before her own selfishness, her child comes first. She will do everything to keep her little one safe.

Slowly raising her right hand, she gently touch the small bump on her stomach.

’Baby, pray with mommy that your father will be alright.’

"Boss."

From the side, Lian Ni Shang’s voice interrupts Yue Ling’s thoughts. Her usual poker face now held a hint of worry. Ever since her boss came in through that door, she had not spoken a word but stare at it.

Yue Ling’s eyes slowly flutter as she turns to look at her subordinate. Right now, she cannot let her emotions get the better of her.

A faint smile curl on her lip and she part her lips to speak.

"How is the situation outside?"

Lian Ni Shang sighs inside when she heard the question. After many years of following Yue Ling, she has a better understanding of the beautiful woman.

No matter how apprehensive she is on the inside, she will never show it. Not because she is afraid of others seeing her as a weak person, but because for everyone, she will be the one to pull everyone together.

Whenever a situation becomes hectic, she is always the one who puts it back in place.

Thinking this, Lian Ni Shang walks over to Yue Ling and hands her the tablet.

"Everyone has began moving."

Yue Ling nod her head and takes the tablet. Lowering her head, she stares down at the brightly lit screen.

Due to them having to stay inside Uncle Zhi’s shop, Liu Shan had connected the tablet to all the cameras they had set up outside. This way, she can also keep watch from where she is. If by chance those outside were to miss something, she can point it out for them.

Holding the tablet with her left hand, her right index finger taps on the screen and opens a camera.

Outside, across from Uncle Zhi’s shop, Liu Shan stood near the edge of the roof and held the night vision binoculars to his eyes. He scans the area below for any movements from the enemy.

Seeing something, his eyes narrow dangerously and he touches his earpiece.

"Three. 2 o’clock. Building 4."

["Got it."]

It was not anyone, but Lin Hui whose voice came in through the other line.

He was no longer positioned on the roof with Liu Shan. At this moment, he and Xu Long were hiding in the dark alley right below the building as they prepare to take down their next target.

In the darkness of the night with little light, Lin Hui slowly and sneakily pokes his head out to check the given location Liu Shan had mentioned.

He was able to make out three figures hiding like him. However, they were not facing his direction but staring at the rundown building.

His eyes scans for his next plan before quickly hiding within the alley again. He lowers his head and glance down at the watch on his wrist.

Thinking quickly to himself, he turns to look at the assistant of Lu Tian.

"You better cover me."

Xu Long stares at the man and he grins with his teeth. He lifts both of his arms and reveals two guns pointed up to the sky.

"Don’t worry. I got you."

Seeing that grin, Lin Hui rolled his eyes. He knows that Xu Long is a capable man after their life and death experience at Spring. However, at the same time, he can’t help but doubt the man at times like this.

Instead of Xu Long covering him, it might be him covering the darn assistant.

Turning away, he brush his thoughts away and inhales a massive amount of air through his nostril to prepare himself.

From the map set up inside the computer room, Yue Ling had numbered each building for easier understanding of the enemy’s location and theirs.

With his calculations, building four where his targets are standing are two building down from where he and Xu Long are hiding. To get to them, he will need to pass not only the two buildings but two alleys as well.

However, within each building, he can use the alleys to hide.

With his running speed, he should get to the first alley within two minutes or less.

He sets the timer on his watch then touch his earpiece to connect with Liu Shan.

"Give me clear."

On top of the tall building, Liu Shan hears his comrade and scans the premises for any other movements. Unable to see anything, he set the binocular down and turn to his laptop.

His fingers dance over the keyboard as he check the connected cameras.

Confirming there is no other movement, he speaks into his earpiece.

"Clear. Go."

Hearing the clear from the eyes above, Lin Hui starts the timer on his watch and dashes out from the alley to the next one.

His steps were as light as a feather as he made sure to avoid any lights and stayed close to the shadows. Like a ninja in the shadow, he sprints with all his might.

Just as he was about to turn into the first alley, his eyes widen like his eyeballs were going to pop out.

Increasing his speed, he makes a break for it as his figure slides a smooth and quiet homerun into the alley.

Quickly leaning his back against the wall, he didn’t even have the time to catch his breath as right now, he is holding it in. At the same time, he also didn’t forget to stop the timer on his watch.

"Where is that bastard Xu Zheng? Shouldn’t he be here before all of us?"

"Gongi said to start without the fatso. Since he backed out, he won’t be getting a cut."

Two men wearing black masks strode pass the dark alley. They were deeply immersed in their own conversation and with little light, neither notices Lin Hui nor did they hear him.

As the two men pass the alley, Lin Hui slowly poke out the top half of his head to check. Seeing that they were nearing the alley Xu Long is currently at, he hides back within the darkness again.

However, his nostril flare like a Spanish bull and he press the button on his earpiece.

"Liu Shan, you ass wipe. What kind of clear was that?"

["Uh... heh heh, my bad bro. At least they didn’t see you."]

Lin Hui’s jaw clenched tightly, and he growls a whisper through his gritted teeth.

"Do that again and you’re the one I’m shooting."
