Unexpected Second Chance at Love

In the center of Imperial, Lu Corps’ dark and high building stood like a mighty king.

Inside, Lu Tian sat on the couch in his office. His back leaned on the couch and his arms crossed over his chest. With one leg crossed over the other making a four figure, he stare indifferently at the man across from him.

”Report.”

Xu Long nervously swallow his saliva. He looks down at the laptop in his arms, then he takes a deep breath to steady himself.

”I wasn’t able to get everything, but I was able to retrieve a small footage from the warehouse.”

He sets his laptop on the table and opens it. Turning it on, the screen quickly loads and he taps a button to open a window.

”The footage is from the time you and Wolf Team heard the gun shots.”

Xu Long quickly press play and turns the laptop to his boss. Like he was in a volcano, sweat slowly form on his forehead. His entire body becomes more nervous as he watch his boss’s expression.

Lu Tian watch the video and each second that passed, his brows furrow tighter together.

The video was very staticky, the figures in the video were not clear, but one could still faintly see who was foe. The video shown was as Xu Long said, Lu Tian and his team had just stepped into the warehouse.

There were six remaining men from Ghost Gang, including Ti Lung. Laying unconscious wasn’t just Ting but another boy too. Standing in the center of the room was another figure...

Seeing the figure, Lu Tian’s eyes narrowed. If the video was clearer, they would have been able to see the person’s face. However.....

Ti Lung seemed to have shouted something that made all the five men point their guns and shoot at the figure in the middle.

Like a movie suddenly come to life, the figure dashes towards the man on the right. The figure dodges the bullet and swiftly, right foot on the man’s knee, the figure jumps up and legs wrap the man’s neck.

The figure’s hand at the same time reach for something on his leg and then blood squirt out as the first man is stab in the heart. The figure quickly grabs the man’s gun in his hand, leaps down and a bullet shoots to the man across in the head.

The figure didn’t stop there, but quickly dash for the remaining men. Another bullet shoots the third man in the heart. When the man fell to the ground, the figure sends another bullet to his head.

Like a shadow in the dark, the figure dodged all the bullets sent to him. Grabbing the fourth man’s hand with the gun, the figure’s body swings over around the man and sends a bullet to the head.

As the fifth man fires his gun, the figure’s head dodge to the left, then a bullet is sent to the fifth man’s head then heart. The fifth man falls and the figure leaps for Ti Lung. However, the gun in the figures hand ran out of bullets. Throwing the gun, it hits Ti Lung on the forehead, making him stumble and falls backwards. The figure moves faster and snatch his gun from his hand.

Ti Lung half sat on the floor behind his desk and looks at the figure. His mouth opens and closed, saying something, but because cctvs don’t capture sounds, Lu Tian didn’t know what Ti Lung had said.

Continuing to watch, the figure sends a bullet to Ti Lung’s heart. Quickly moving, the figure dashes for the boy beside Ting. Lifting him up, the two figures jumped out of the window. Then after a few seconds, Lu Tian’s figure appears at the door followed by Jiang Yu.

*du*

The video ended and the screen turns black. Lu Tian sat with his indifferent expression. He thought about the figure in the footage. Who ever this person is, he has very skill marksmanship and fighting skills. Not only that, this person’s moves were fast and extremely deadly. But.... for some reason, he felt this person looked very familiar.....

Except, he was sure he’s never encounter this man before.....

Not only that, but who was the other boy?

”Boss....”

Hearing Xu Long, he glance at his assistant. His expression saying, ’what?’

Xu Long swallow no saliva, ”Boss, the time frame of this footage was longer but from my calculations, everything in this one footage is exactly ten seconds.”

Lu Tian’s eyes darkened. This person killed in ten seconds? That means, this person has killed for a long time....

”Find out who the man and the other boy is. Ask Ting if you have to. Report back when you’ve gathered information.”

”Y-Yes Boss!”

Xu Long quickly stands up and grabs his laptop. Just when he was about to turn the door knob to leave, Lu Tian’s next words made him dumbfounded.

”Yue Ling is coming here for lunch.”

”...”

He turns back to look at his boss and he was even more dumbfounded. Lu Tian who was just sitting on the couch is now sitting behind his desk. Xu Long couldn’t help but wonder if his boss has superhuman powers. How can someone move from one spot to another without making a sound?

Xu Long shakes his head to clear his mind, then he salutes to his boss, ”Got it Captain!”

He quickly open the door and leaves the office. His boss has given two missions; one, make preparations for the lady body and two, find the man and boy in the footage.

Closing the door, Xu Long’s expression turns ugly and his hands itching to throw his expensive laptop.

”Miss Qian, What business do you have up here?”

Qian Li Li looks at Xu Long. She sneers inside at how she wants to get rid of this annoying assistant. However, she can’t ruin her image, so she smiles sweetly at Xu Long and shows the papers in her hands.

”I came to ask CEO Lu a question about these blueprints.”

Xu Long didn’t care about formality, he scoffs in disgust, ”Hem. If it’s just that, you can just send me a question and I will answer them for you. CEO Lu is busy and has no time to answer your questions.”

”...”

Qian Li Li was rendered speechless. She hates that she always encounters this annoying assistant every time she comes to the top floor. Not only that, this man has no respect for her at all.

”Miss Qian, if you’re just here for your personal matters, then you don’t belong here. Work is for work, not a place for you imagine your fantasies.”

”....”

Again, Qian Li Lin was at a loss for words. She clench her hands on the blueprints and crumples it a little. She glares at Xu Long, then noticing the stares from the other workers, she smiles.

”I’ll come back when CEO Lu isn’t busy then.”

”Don’t come back. Your job had no reason to be on this floor. If you need anything answered, you can let Secretary Yu or me know.”

Xu Long didn’t care if he hurts the woman’s feelings or put her on blast. To him, she is a disgusting evil vixen who he can careless about. Besides, his lady boss is one trillion times better than this filthy witch.

He sets his laptop on Secretary Yu’s desk and steps back to the door. He cross his arms over his chest and stood in front of Lu Tian’s closed door like a bodyguard.

His expression clearly saying, ’I won’t go anywhere, so don’t even think about going inside!!’

Qian Li Li sneers inside. Quickly turning around, she stride back to the elevator in a foul mood. She wanted to see her future husband, just one look is fine with her. Entering the elevator, she thinks of a plan to get inside Lu Tian’s office without Xu Long noticing.

Watching the evil vixen leave, Xu Long sighs. How can this woman be so stupid? Can’t she get the hints in his clear words? She’s like blind to everything, did she really think his boss would fall for such a loose woman?

Shaking his head, he grabs his laptop.

”Secretary Yu, no matter what Miss Qian comes here for, don’t let her in boss’s office. You of all people should know how he feels about women going inside his office.” — of course, that doesn’t apply to his lady boss.

Oblivious to the rest of Xu Long’s unspoken words, Secretary Yu nods her head and gives Xu Long a thumbs up.

She never liked Qian Li Li, so why would she let the woman near her boss? Of course, she’s already seen Qian Li Li’s ugly and real self too.

Sitting in his office, Lu Tian who was oblivious to the scene outside decides to push Ghost Gang’s incident behind his head. The most important thing now, is where to take his wife for lunch.

Glancing at his phone, he pout his lip and frown.

Why hasn’t she contact him yet? Did she not miss him like how he miss her?
