Unexpected Second Chance at Love

*Clank—

\"Ahhh—!!\"

The sound of copper against metal resonated like thunder with a man’s womanly shriek.

Chu Li Xiang swore his soul had left his body when he saw the bullet come his way. If it were not for the cold sweat that slid down his back, he would have thought this to be a nightmare.

The bullet did not hit him but hits the step right under his feet. One would think Yue Ling did not know how to aim, but he knows that Yue Ling had purposely missed him.

She was clearly trying to mess with his head now that he is trapped.

Yue Ling held the gun up as it was still aimed at Chu Li Xiang. Her index finger slowly press the trigger again.

*Click.

\"Ahh—!!\"

Chu Li Xiang shut his eyes and shrieked like a little girl as he waited for the bullet to pierce his skull.

However, the pain never came.

He nervously opens his eyes, onto to see Yue Ling still holding the gun at him. The only thing was, no bullet ever shot out.

Her gun had run out of bullets.

A shred feeling of relief wash over him and he quickly pulls himself together. Kicking the bag full of money at her, he stumbles his way back up the stairs to the room.

Yue Ling leisurely dodges the duffel bag like it was a speck of dust in the air. She watched as the man scramble and crawl away before heaving a sigh.

She shook her head at Chu Li Xiang’s stupidity and nonchalantly follows.

As she climbs the stairs, her thumb wrapped around the gun press a button on the grip and the empty magazine releases.

At the same time, her other hand reaches inside her back pocket and she takes out the back up magazine that is fully loaded with ammo.

Just as the empty magazine dropped onto the metal stairs, she inserts the new one in.

From behind, Lu Tian stood with another expression of proudness at his wife.

Seeing this side of her really makes his heart flutter into cloud nine. He didn’t even have to make a move and she had everything under control.

He was sure if Xu Long was here, the assistant would say something like, ’so scary, but so badass.’

Shaking the thought away, he takes a step forward after her. Even if she had everything under control, what kind of man would sit back and allow his woman to do all the work.

Just his foot touched the first step of the metal stairs, a beep sounds in his ear as his earpiece connects.

[\"We have company.\"]

Hearing the assistant’s words, his brows slightly furrow before continuing up the stairs.

\"Who?\"

[\"Snakehead.\"]

A faint, yet evil chuckle escapes Lu Tian’s lips when he heard who had appeared.

[\"They’re pulling up from the front.\"]

Liu Shan spoke again as he remained seated on the hood of his red Audi r8. He could see a clear image of the black cars through Lin Hui’s drone that had been left behind.

Snakehead was entering from the south side of the factory as it was the only entrance and exit.

[\"Five cars. Head count, unknown.\"]

Listening to Liu Shan’s information, Lu Tian did not once pause in his steps. From the looks of it, it seems like Gao Ji has no idea about what he is walking into.

Remembering the obese man’s behavior towards his wife during the meeting, Lu Tian’s eyes darken.

\"Take no prisoners.\"

[\"Jiangyu: \"Roger Captain.\"]

[Qi Li: \"Just when my gun was craving for more bloodshed.\"]

[Gui Zhongmin: \"Easy prey equals easy kill.\"]

[Li Wei: \"Team C and I will advance to block their escape route.\"]

[\"Lin Hui: \"Umm... I was instructed to stay with the women, so... I’ll have to sit this one out.\"]

[Everyone: \"....\"]

Hearing Lin Hui’s sudden words, everyone one on the line went quiet. Some were in doubt whether he is speaking the truth or trying to avoid another blood bath.

[Lin Hui: \"Ahem... It’s the truth. You can ask my boss. So, Liu Shan, I’ll leave fatso to you.\"]

Lin Hui breaks the silence as he could already guess what everyone was thinking.

He was currently sitting inside the same room while holding up the bottle of alcohol to help stabilize Qin Xue’s breathing.

If it wasn’t for this, he would have long rushed outside and beat the living crap out of Gao Jie for what he did to Liu Shan.

However, he understood that if anyone were to kill Gao Ji, the perfect person should be Liu Shan himself.

Listening to their long, but quick conversation, Lu Tian was now three steps away from entering the room on the second floor.

\"It’s up to you.\"

His words fell and he takes the finishing three steps.

He had not mention anyone’s name, but everyone knew he was referring to Liu Shan.

The assistant had not participated in the action from the start, but now that Gao Jie is here, he can join in on the fun or remain as their watchman.

The decision is up to him.

As Lu Tian’s figure disappears into the room, Liu Shan calls back the drone.

The grudge he holds against Gao Jie is not because he (Gao Jie) smashed the bottle against his (Liu Shan) head.

It is because of what he (Gao Jie) wanted to do to Yuanyuan. If he (Liu Shan) had not been there, who knows what would have happened to the woman.

He types a few codes on his laptop and another radar map appears on the screen.

When Yue Ling and Lu Tian met inside the building, he had already informed Grandfather Ji about the situation. He also sent their location to the old man.

Staring at the new radar map, he estimates the time until the old man and his team would arrive.

Confirming that they are near, he close the laptop on his lap then the one next to him.

Placing one laptop over the other, he jumps down from the hood of his car and walks over to the driver side door.

As he pulls open the door and enters, one corner of his lip curls into a grim side smirk.

\"Liu Shan, the great is joining in on the fun.\"
