Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 818 - It’s just something we do

As Wolf Team disappeared from the room, leaving only Lin Hui, Qi Li, and Alpha Team alone with Tao Meng and his men, no one budged a muscle.

Tao Meng was pushed back and joined his men in the center as the outnumbered group surrounded them. He didnʼt dare to move as there were still guns pointed at them, and from what he heard, Fate never misses a target.

Lin Hui waited for a long minute, and when he no longer hears the footsteps of his comrades who left, he raises his left hand. He gestures a signal with one wave, and Alpha Team lowers their weapons.

Following his command, each person then leisurely walks away without pulling the trigger.

Once he made a headcount of each individual who walked past him, he glances sideways at Qi Li.

”Letʼs go.”

Qi Li maintained expressionless without uttering a word but gives a silent nod. He didnʼt provide Tao Meng or the people of Red Moon another glance and turned around.

Watching the group leave, Taro Meng and his men could only glare and gnash their teeth at the humiliation thrown at them.

One of the men standing the closest to Tao Meng sneakily takes a step closer to his boss and whispers.

”Theyʼve let their guard down. We can take them out.”

Hearing this idea, Tao Meng clenches his fists tightly. Seeing how Lin Hui and Qi Li weʼre the only ones left, he and his men can take them. By the time Liu Shan, Xu Long, Wolf Team, and Alpha Team

were to storm back in, everyone in Red Moon would be prepared to take them all on.

They were taken off guard because this room is the only room in Red Moon that neither he nor his men bother to carry any guns. This was a place for their own entertainment.

If he had known his territory was going to be infiltrated by the enemy like this, he wouldnʼt have let his guard down.

His eyes dimmed murderously, and without taking his glare off the back figures of Lin Hui and Qi Li, he gestures a small nudge with his head.

This was to give his men approval to attack.

”Ah, I almost forgot.”

Before anyone could take a step, Lin Huiʼs jolly voice echoes throughout the room. He was one step from exiting out the door but turned back around.

On his face is a smile so bright that it could blind a person.

”You should be thankful my boss still needs for Red Moon to be around. If not for that, this

place wouldnʼt even be standing here.”

His words fell matter-of-factly, and the smile on his face fades.

”Also, attacking your opponents when their backs are turned you is a cowardly thing to do.”

His eyes scan the group like he had eyes on the back of his head and saw through their plan. He scoffs a faint sneer and looks Tao Meng in the eyes.

”Before you go and do something stupid, you should really worry about your life first.”

He turns around to leave, but seeing the slight look of befuddlement in Tao Mengʼs expression, he chuckles sarcastically.

His right-hand raises, and he points to his chest.

”You couldʼve died today, but count yourself lucky.”

The space between Tao Mengʼs eyebrows creases into tight lines as he frowns at Lin Huiʼs words. He wasnʼt able to grasp what was said to him.

For some reason, it sounded more like ʼthisʼ was the warning.

Lin Huiʼs words and gestures, but what did he mean?

”Boss, whatʼs that on your chest?”

One of his men suddenly spoke and brought him to attention. He looks away from the direction Lin Hui had disappeared and looked at the person who spoke.

He was just about to look down at his chest when he notices a red dot on the manʼs head.

His complexion drains of all colors, and he abruptly looks down.

The same red dot was on his chest.

”Everyone, donʼt move!!”

He panics loudly as he knew exactly what the red dot was—a red dot sight for guns.

It wasnʼt only on him and the man but aimed at each person in the room.

His head darts to the windows, and it was then that he noticed dark figures clothe in all black with masks on.

Although these figures were scattered far and near, he knew that these people belonged to Fate.

This was Fateʼs warning.

If they wanted to, they could have quickly end Red Moon in an instant. However, this is Yue Lingʼs final warning.

Red Moonʼs fate is now in her hands, and she can collect it whenever she wants.

”WOW....”

While Tao Meng and his men were washed with waves of nervousness, Xu Long, Jiangyu, Yiqing, and Shaofeng stare with amus.e.m.e.nt from behind the door frame.

”Did you see that coming because I sure didnʼt.”

”I didnʼt think the situation was going to turn out like this.”

”Did you see Tao Meng and his menʼs faces? Do you think they were more shocked or us?”

They were curious why Lin Hui and Qi Li were so confident when Alpha Team left the room. They were even prepared to jump into action if needed.

However, it seems like everything was already under control.

As the four men stare in pure astonishment, their minds suddenly thought of the same thing.

Fate is really an unpredictable group.

Qi Li walks past them with no words. He saw them from the corner of his eyes but feign ignorance and heads out the place.

Seconds behind the cold expression man, Lin Hui stops when he saw the four dazed men. He slightly tilts his head, then turns back to glance at the room he had exited.

He scratches the side of his head as he didnʼt see what was so interesting and looks at the four men.

”Uh... What are you guys doing?”

Jiangyu, Yiqing, and Shaofeng jumped at his words. Jiangyu forces a chuckle and looks around in confusion.

”Eh? Where did my little monkey go? She must not have seen me and walked out.”

He pretends to put on a confused act and runs away without answering Lin Hui.

Behind him, Yiqing and Shaofeng covered their faces and didnʼt hesitate to follow the bulky man.

Their original plan was to watch and observe only. Once they see that Lin Hui and Qi Li were coming their way, they were to make a run for it and pretend they never stayed behind.

However, too intrigued by what happened, they all forgot to stick to the plan.

Lin Hui didnʼt know whether to laugh or cry at the three men. He shakes his head and looks down at the remaining man.

”Youʼre just going to stay there?”

Xu Long was still crouched by the door. Both his hands were placed at the sides of his face. It was as if doing so would help hide him from view.

”Xu Long, do you think Iʼm blind? I can see you.”

”Xu Long is not here. Please leave a message after the beep. Beep.”

”...”

Lin Hui blinked with heavy eyelids. He shakes his head and walks away. As he did this, he reaches inside his pocket and takes out his phone. He dials a number and makes a call.

”Weʼre out. Everyone can leave.”

Hearing his words, Xu Long quickly stood up and gave chase after his hitman friend.

”Wait. Wait for me. Xu Long is here.”

He knows Lin Hui wasnʼt purposely messing with him. The phone call was to let the team outside know everything was clear to leave.

He caught up to Lin Hui and heavily exhaled like he had run an entire marathon. When he was able to steady his breathing, he looks at Lin Hui with slightly narrowed eyes.

”Thatʼs the second cool act you guys did and didnʼt include me. Why?”

Lin Hui almost stumble in his steps hearing those words. He glances at Xu long and pursed his lip. Was this really the right time to discuss a topic about acting cool?

However, he doesnʼt dwell too much on the thought and answers nonchalantly.

”Itʼs not that we didnʼt want to include you. Itʼs just something we do.”

Xu Long parted his lips to ask a question, but before he could, Lin Huiʼs words continue

as if he had read the assistantʼs mind.

”Itʼs either Liu Shan and me, or Qi Li and I, who are the last to leave. We cover everyoneʼs

back while the snipers and shooters outside cover ours.”

He looks at Xu Long with a bright smile as if saying, ʼcool rightʼ, and Xu long dazedly nods his head.

He (Xu long) stares blankly ahead. He didnʼt need to pry for more details about what happened as it was common sense.

When leaving the enemy territory, once oneʼs back is turned to the enemy, one wonʼt know if the enemy will sneak an attack.

This is why Lin Hui and Qi Li stayed behind.

As for the shooters and snipers positioned outside, he didnʼt need to ask who they were.

Alpha Team consists of only seven members, and they infiltrated the place alongside Wolf Team.

If his guess is correct, the ones outside are without a doubt the ʼemployeesʼ of De Lʼamour.

To be precise, the members of Fate.

Just as his thoughts were about to trail too far, he remembers something and asks.

”Whatʼs going to happen to the kid?”
