Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Inside the empty house of Yue Ling and Lu Tian, the model looks at her assistant and part her lips to speak.

”Why did you want to see me?”

”Ah, thatʼs right.”

Liu Shan quickly pays no attention to the vinegar eating man. He takes his phone out and hand it to his boss.

”Xu Long, Lin Hui and I did a little investigation. This is everything we were able to find. Everything that connects Doctor Xie to Chu Li Xiang.”

After saving the two idiots, he had done a little hacking throughout Imperial with a little bit of their help. From what they found he is confident that itʼs something interesting.

Yue Ling looks at her assistant as she reach for the phone. Unlocking the screen, she scrolled through the pages while Lu Tian glance from the side. However, the more they read the report, the dimmer their eyes became. No one can read what is on their mind, but they know that it was not good.

Accustom to the tension, Liu Shan sighs aloud and massage his head. He walks over to the stairs and sits down on the second step in front of the two ʼhandicapʼ men.

”It seems like Chu Qiang has no idea of what his brother has been doing in the dark until now.”

Unlike the nonchalant Liu Shan, both Xu Long and Lin Hui slowly wrap their arms around each other with fearful expressions. They could feel the empty house turn into an ice cave.

Good Heavens, how can people who are bless with great looks look so scary at the same time?

As they continue the day in discussion about the information found, this time, in the slums of Imperial, a loud crash is heard inside the rundown building at the far end.

A middle age man breathes heavily with blood shot eyes. Glass shatter on the floor, but he does not care.

”How can you be so fucken stupid?! Did everything I said fucken mean nothing to you?!”

Chu Qiang glares at the younger man across from him, ignoring the blood sliding down his hand.

”Li Xiang, I mean it. You better start using your brain and listen if you want to continue living.”

Chu Li Xiang stood unmoving with his head lower. He clench his fists tightly at the side as a thick line of blood slowly slides down from his head to chin due to the glass thrown at him.

”I didnʼt do anything wrong.”

Chu Qiang loudly scoffs. He slowly approach his brother as he steps over the pieces of glass on the floor. He stop inches away and ruthlessly grabs the collar of Chu Li Xiangʼs shirt. Slightly lifting the man up, his eyes turn murderous.

”I fucken told you to leave the matters alone. Did you think I wouldnʼt know what you did while I was away?!”

He shoves Chu Li Xiang to the ground and put his hands behind his back.

”Lu Tian is not someone you or I can cross. He is a man of great capabilities, if not, he would have been dead long ago.”

A long sigh escapes his lips and he continues his words.

”He also knows that it was you who sent those people after his wife.”

He looks at his brother with disgust and turns away.

”You should stop your useless plans. If you make another mistake, I really wonʼt be able to save you.”

Chu Qian did not give the man another look. He walks out of the room but stops at the door.

”Iʼm warning you, Li Xiang. Stop all your fucken wrong doings. Cross the wrong line again and it wonʼt only be Lu Tian you have to deal with, but fate too.”

No intentions of waiting for a response, Chu Qiang walks out of the room.

Standing outside by the door, Julia stood on one side, while Guan Li on the other.

Chu Qiang looks at the woman and another wave of disgust flash in his eyes.

”Julia, if you really love him, you should know what is best for him.”

His words finish and he walks up the stairs to leave this place. He has long known that Julia who is his right-hand woman has been seeing Chu Li Xiang. Even after all these years, he did not get in between them, but who would have thought them to be so careless.

At the same time, Guan Li wanted to say something to Julia, but decides not to. He turns away and quickly follows his boss.

Inside the room, Chu Li Xiang remained seated on the ground. He laughs in remembrance of the humiliation he received from Chu Qiang. His breathing turn rapid and he glares at the door as if looking at the middle age man.

”Itʼs not me who should be scared. Itʼs you and Lu Tian who should be scared.”

He looks away and helps himself up from the ground. Thinking of Chu Qiangʼs last words, he scoff a laugh.

”Fate? My fate is mine to decide. Weʼll see who has a better fate.”

His hand lift to wipe away the blood that smeared on his face.

”Julia!”

Hearing her name, Julia quickly enters the room. When she saw the blood on Chu Li Xiangʼs face, her eyes shook. She runs to him and worriedly ask.

”Are you alright? Does it hurt?”

Chu Li Xiang push her hands away from touching him. He walks over to his desk and sits down.

”Is everything ready?”

”T-That….”

Julia bit her lower lip in hesitation. However, looking at the man she loves, she decides to ignore the man who saved her.

”Everything is ready.”

A cunning sneer curl on the manʼs lip. He had sent men to kidnap Lu Tianʼs wife, but not a single person returned. After, his subordinates said Chu Qiang returned to Imperial and was paying him a visit.

Connecting the dots, everything came together. However, this is only the start.
