Unexpected Second Chance at Love

"When we set out for the transfer, I volunteered to ride in the same vehicle that held Chu Li Xiang. The others followed behind with the rest of the police cars. When we reached the mountain, that was when everything started going downhills."

Jiangyu continues to explain what happened to him and the others while transporting Chu Li Xiang to the prison. Lu Tian listened to end without saying a word even when his subordinate was done.

Seeing him so quiet, Xu Long and Jiangyu stares at the man then cast each other a glance. However, not pushing it, they decided to wait until their boss decided to speak.

After what felt like an entire day had gone by, Lu Tian slowly rise from the chair. He does not look at either of his subordinates but walks away.

Opening the door, he exits the room. However, he didn’t forget to give an order to Jiangyu.

"Get some rest."

As his figure disappears out of the room, all was silent with no sound. Xu Long and Jiangyu stares at the door and both men didn’t know how to react.

Lu Tian’s three words were very simple, but only the two men, knew how heart touching those words meant.

Glancing at the bulky man, Xu Long sighs inside. He has been Lu Tian’s assistant for many years and has done so much more, but he has never once received any comforting words from the aloof man.

Shaking the envious thoughts away, he sighs and turn to leave too.

"Well, you heard the man. Get some rest."

Oblivious to his two subordinates being affected by his words, Lu Tian walked back to the room his wife was in. At the same time, he couldn’t help but think about Jiangyu’s words.

The prison Chu Li Xiang was being transferred to is on an island far away from Imperial. It is a prison specifically built for scums like Chu Li Xiang. Only the lowest and most despicable criminals are sent there. However, in order to get there, one must drive through a mountain forest then get on a boat to cross over.

Jiangyu said everything was going well without any problems until they reached the mountain. Chu Li Xiang’s men were already waiting at the top of the mountain in the forest. However, knowing that all this was a diversion, Jiangyu and the others were able to outdo Chu Li Xiang’s men.

Except, thinking that they had cleared the road, they were ambushed the moment they drove down near the foot of the mountain.

The vehicle Jiangyu and Chu Li Xiang were in lost control after the driver was shot in the head. Falling down the mountain, the car was in a wreck, but Jiangyu, who barely survived the crash was able to pull him and the driver out safely.

When he forced himself to get up and get Chu Li Xiang, the vehicle suddenly blew up.

Before he could get the ringing sound from the explosion out of his head, Chu Li Xiang was already standing in front of him.

Taking advantage of Jiangyu’s weaken state, Chu Li Xiang took his (Jiangyu) gun and shot his chest but missed his heart.

He told Jiangyu to give a message to Lu Tian.

’A life for a life.’

Coming out of his thoughts, Lu Tian’s eyes flashed dangerously than ever before. Chu Li Xiang wanted Yue Ling dead not because of Ning Mei’s bribe, but because he (Lu Tian) killed Julia.

Only, it was their child that paid the price.

From behind, Xu Long finally caught up to his boss when they reached the room Yue Ling was in. He slows down in his steps and takes a deep breath.

"Boss, the message is being deliver. What are your next orders?"

Lu Tian stops in front of the door to the private ward. He held the door handle and his deep voice sounds before entering.

"Pay a little visit to Chu Qiang."

In the far distance away from Imperial Military Hospital, Retro crowded with people from the underworld as rain pour over them.

The red lights that glisten during the night for Black Dragon was not turned on. Two bulky men stood in front the entrance as they keep out unwanted guests.

A man wearing a black coat with the hood covering the top half of his head suddenly walks up to Black Dragon. He did not look up and had a black box in his hand as he spoke.

"I am here to deliver this to your boss."

Hearing the man’s sudden words, the two men were confused and stares at the man.

"Hey, if you’re here for the nightclub, come back later. We’re not open yet. If not, get lost."

The bulky man standing on the right snorts his words when he saw the man. However, judging from the way this unknown man is dressed, he doesn’t look like someone from the underworld.

The other bulky man thought the same too. They have seen many people in Retro, but this man doesn’t look like someone they’ve seen before.

However, eyeing the man from head to toe and back up, a sudden thought came to the bulky man on the left. He chuckles aloud and fold his arms.

"Get loss kid. We don’t do charity here."

Both men quickly howl in laughter as they threw jokes about the man they assumed was a kid.

"Well, well. Black Dragon is as lively as ever."

A voice suddenly spoke that surprised the two bulky men. However, they weren’t looking at the ’kid’ but pass him.

Standing not too far away was a tall and slender man. His hair was shaved in a buzz cut style and he wore a set of dark running clothes.

He looked very charming and held a cheesy grin on his face. However, the roaring tiger tattooed on the front of his neck gave him a dangerous vibe.

Both bulky men struggle a gulp before the one on the right spoke first.

"You have to business here, Li Wei."

Li Wei’s figure was drenched from the rain, but hearing the way the man spoke to him, he shrug his shoulder. Placing his hands behind his back, he leisurely strolls over to them with his smile that reached his eyes.

"Indeed I have no business here."

He stops in his steps when he stood shoulder to shoulder with the hooded man. Glancing down at the black box, he arch a brow before looking at the two bulky man.

"A little sparrow informed me to let you both know that this gift is for your boss."

He gives a flirty wink to the two men then tilt his head at the unknown man.

"Isn’t that right, Yiqing?"
