Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Upon entering beyond the door, what came into view was a big and spacious room that shaped into a dome.

The ceiling was high and illuminating around were lit lanterns that gave off a ghostly vibe to the place.

To the right was a long table and two giant shelves on either side. On top of the table and filling the empty spaces on the shelves were different medical equipment.

To the left was a long row of wooden stands. Hung on it were all types of handheld weapons.

Flails, maces, daggers, hammers, kukris, short swords, long swords, bows, crossbows, axes, spears, pikes, all the different kinds of handheld weapon one can think of is in this room.

There was even a pair of metal spiked gauntlet that sat like a trophy at the very top of the weapon stand.

If one did not know, one would have thought this room to be some kind of mad scientist room. However given the weapons that await at the side to be used, it is more like a torture room.

And the unfortunate person to have the honor of being the guest is none other than the man in the middle of the room.

Chu Li Xiang laid unconscious on a table that looked to be made from brick. Both his arms and legs were spread apart by thick heavy chains that bound his wrists and ankles.

\”Wake him up.\”

Lu Tian spoke indifferently to Ye Zhongwei as he takes a cigarette out from his coat pocket.

Nodding his head, Ye Zhongwei walks towards the medical side to begin the waking process.

When he first arrived, Chu Li Xiang was just about to wake up. However, to keep him from fully waking up, he (Ye Zhongwei) had used a right amount of chloroform to knock the man out, then Jiangyu brought the man here.

Reaching the table, Ye Zhongwei didnʼt need to look for what he needed. He grabs a metal bucket filled with ice cold water and turns to the table Chu Li Xiang was laying on.

He held a sinister grin on his charming face and approach Chu Li Xiang.

As a doctor, they are trained to save lives, but in this situation, Chu Li Xiang is not a human who needs saving. This man deserves everything that is going to happen to him.

Holding the top edge with one hand, his other hand place under the bucket to help pour the water on the man.

*Splaasshh— Thunk!

Accidently tripping on his own feet, Ye Zhongwei lost his grip on the bucket and it flies forward as he falls to his knees.

The water that should have splashed onto Chu Li Xiangʼs face pours over the man like a rainbow. Not even a drop touched to the unconscious man.

However, what did not miss its target was the metal bucket.

It slams hard again Chu Li Xiangʼs face before rolling down onto the ground and echoes in a loud thud.

\”…\”

Lu Tian and everyone else in the room were completely dumbfounded by this scene.

The aloof man slowly turned his head to his friend. He couldnʼt help but question of his IQ and EQ are really high. If it is, why is he surrounded by people like this?

Jiangyu and Qi Li clears their throat and turn to look in another direction so they wouldnʼt smile. However, Liu Shan, Xu Long and Lin Hui couldnʼt help but snort in laughter.

Walking up to the doctor, Liu Shan shook his head with a sigh and stretch his hand to help the man up.

\”Are you really a doctor? I mean, is this your trick to help wake up your patients?\”

\”…\”

Ye Zhongwei was turned flabbergasted by the assistant he only met today. However, gathering himself together, he sighs inside and helped himself up without taking Liu Shanʼs hand.

He clears his throat then straightens his brown trench coat.

\”No one saw anything, and no one heard anything.\”

Unfortunately, he didnʼt sound threatening enough as Jiangyu and Qi Li could only join the other three men and laugh.

Ye Zhongwei scoffs at them. Glancing at the man he was ordered to wake up, his eyes lit up as he smiles proudly and put his hands on his hips.

\”Laugh all you want. At least my ʼtrickʼ worked.\”

In the dead of the night, Retro lit up with lights as usual. People from the underworld went about with their night as they immerse themselves in alcohol, drugs and women.

However, unlike these people, a lonely figure stood on the rooftop of Black Dragon.

Chu Qiang held his hands behind his back as he stares down to the bustling street crowded with people.

After Li Wei came to see him and brought the news that his younger brother had been captured, he needed some fresh air to ease his mind.

He has always known Chu Li Xiang to be an evil person, but never did he think the man would indulge himself in human trafficking.

Not only that, he (Chu Qiang) has given him (Chu Li Xiang) hints to not mess with Lu Tian and Fate, yet, the man did not listen.

If Chu Li Xiang knew how to use his brain, maybe things would have turned out differently.

When Li Wei told him that Chu Li Xiang also kidnapped Yue Ling, no Mami, he swore his heart had stopped beating.

Chu Li Xiang did not listen to him and allowed the tiger to roam inside his territory. The moment this happened, his (Chu Li Xiang) fate was bound to fall.

\”Boss, Iʼve been look for you. Why are you up here?\”

Guan Li spoke from behind as he walks over to stand next to his boss.

Ever since Li Wei stopped by to inform them the news, he knows that Chu Qiang has been in distressed. One is his brother while the other are two people he cannot cross the line with.

He hesitated but decides to ask anyways. \”Are we going to just stay here and let them kill him?\”

Although he never liked Chu Li Xiang or got along with the man, he (Chu Li Xiang) is still his bossʼs younger brother and a member of Black Dragon.
