Unexpected Second Chance at Love

The men in the black van were caught off guard, but each person quickly takes their guns out and slides the backdoor open. None of them had expected the homeless man to pull out a gun.

”Shoot him!!!!”

Chu Li Xiang yells to his men as he tries to untangle the blanket around his neck. However, the more he struggles, the more the blanket tightens.

*Pu! Pu! Pu!

Before Chu Li Xiang’s men could even pull their triggers, the homeless man pulled his first. He quickly takes down the men that steps out of the van.

Doing so, he pulls Chu Li Xiang back making the man fall to the ground. He turns around and runs from the vans whiles dragging Chu Li Xiang by the blanket.

”Asshole! You’re gonna die!”

Chu Li Xiang burned in rage at the humiliation he is put in. Not only that, he also lost his gun when he fell down!

At the same time, the doors to the other four vans abruptly opens and the men inside jump out. Each person holding a gun with attached silencers as they give chase.

*Pu! Pu! Pu!

Bullets flies out from every direction, but all seemed to miss the homeless man and directed at the man being dragged.

’Shoot him!! NOT! ME!!”

Chu Li Xiang’s face drained of all colors as the bullets hit the ground close to him. How can his men be so useless and shoot at him?!

The homeless man continues to run from the group of men now chasing behind. Why does this feel like deja vu all over again!

With one hand gripping tightly onto the blanket, his hand holding the gun lifts to press a button on his earpiece.

”Lin Hui!! Shoot! Shoot them!!”

Xu Long’s screams into the earpiece with his eyes tightly shut and teeth clenching in full view. He runs with all his might and curse inside for being the one who has to do this dangerous task!

[”Hey, no one told you to do paper.”]

Through the earpiece, Lin Hui nonchalantly sounds in. It really wasn’t anyone’s fault that Xu Long lost in one round of paper, rock, scissors.

[”Ahahaha!!”]

[”Wow! Assistant Xu, you really lost?”]

[”Someone finally beat the Paper Champion!”]

Hearing the laughter of everyone through the earpiece, Xu Long swears inside. He and Lin Hui had to determine who was going to snatch the target and his always winning paper lost to Lin Hui rusty old scissor.

”Alright! I lost! Now can you guys help a brother out?!”

Xu Long yells into the earpiece as his legs continue without stopping.

*Pu!

A bullet shoots from behind passing Xu Long’s head to the right. His eyes widen and his speed increases with a few jumps here and there.

”Hurry up! Shooooot—!!”

The moment Xu Long runs pass a small building, Lin Hui’s homeless figure steps out into view.

A wide grin curls on his lip making him look like a mad man. He raise both arms and the blanket over him drops to the ground revealing two guns in his hands.

*Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!

He takes down four men but does not stop. Four more bullets shoots out and four more men falls to the ground. Each trigger he pulled did not miss its target at all.

As Lin Hui appears into action, Xu Long rolls his eyes but continues to drag Chu Li Xiang like a heavy sack of rice. If he didn’t lose to paper, rock, scissors, he would be showing off like Lin Hui too.

The moment he thought this, he runs pass a small food cart and his head slightly tilt to check for any innocent bystanders. Unfortunately, what he saw felt like a bullet had struck his head making him dumbfounded.

”…..”

Like time had gone into a slow motion, the sound of a zither starts to play in the background.

An elderly man positioned himself behind the food cart on one knee as he holds a gun shooting in the direction Xu Long had come from.

However, what dumbfounded him more was the tall and ugly old woman near the tanghulu stand. She held two guns and was also shooting in the same direction as the elderly man.

One corner of his lip twitch uncontrollably and he scratch his head with the gun.

Why did that old couple look like Yiqing and Jiangyu?

Thinking this, he slaps the thought away and laughs inside. There’s no way Jiangyu would dress as a woman. He has too much pride in himself.

Of course, Xu Long did not know that he was in for a huge shock once this is over.

Through the quiet street, the sound of silent bullets rang in every direction. Chu Li Xiang’s men continue to give chase after Xu Long to save their boss, but only to lose more men.

”Fuck! Split up!!”

Realizing this, the remaining men decides to split up to take cover.

However, luck was not on their side at all. One by one, each men quickly enters death’s door.

What they did not know was that, if the bullets did not come from the homeless man Lin Hui, then it came from the elderly couple, Yiqing and Jiangyu. If not from them, then it came from the members of Wolf Team hiding in the dark shadows or the snipers laying on top of the nearby roofs.

”Gosh! For someone like you, you’re very heavy!!”

Xu Long heavily breathes his words as he continues to run away from all the action behind. He really can’t understand how someone skinny like Chu Li Xiang can weigh a ton, but he must complete his task and bring this heavy man to his boss.

”Fucken bastard! I’m gonna kill you!!”

On the ground being dragged, Chu Li Xiang curse at Xu Long. He had been dragged all the way in such a humiliating way! He was sure that his pants probably have a huge hole and his bottom is scar for life.

”Ah shut up! Be thankful you’re not dead yet.”

Xu Long rolled his eyes and refute the man. If it wasn’t because his boss wanted Chu Li Xiang alive, the man would have long died back there.

”I’m gonna skin you alive! You’re not going to get away with this! My older brother is gonna feed you to wild animals!”

Chu Li Xiang continues to throw a fit with kicks and threats, but none of it went into Xu Long’s ears. Each word went in one ear and out the other.

”Boss!”

In that moment, Xu Long’s eyes lit up as he sees a familiar dark figure in the distance. He smiles and quickens his pace. However, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows in confusion.

Why does his boss look so menacing?

Oh God!! He’s pointing the gun this way!!

At the same time, Chu Li Xiang remembers something and his hand tugging the blanket lowers to his pocket. He pretends to struggle but takes out a shiny silver object.

Knowing that Xu Long was not paying attention to him, he use the opportunity to stab the back of Xu Long’s leg.

Lu Tian: *Pu!

Chu Li Xiang: ”Arrhhh—!”

Xu Long: ”….”

The assistant froze in place as his hand holding the blanket loosens. He drops the man and stares widely into who knows where.

Chu Li Xiang’s scream lingers into the night sky as he covers his righthand with his left. Blood ooze out like a fountain without stopping.

”Son of a bitch! You’re all gonna die!!”

After a long minute, the assistant finally blinks his eyes and looks down to the man screaming his lungs out.

Seeing the pocketknife, he jumps away with a loud gasp and covers his mouth.

No wonder his boss aimed the gun at him without a word. The bullet sent from his boss actually cut off Chu Li Xiang’s right thumb and index finger!

Staring down at the man rolling on the ground and groaning in pain, Xu Long pout his lips.

”Quit your whining! That’s what you get for wanting to stab this Buddha!”

Saying this, he sends a hard to Chu Li Xiang’s back and stuck his tongue out.

”….”

Approaching the two men, Lu Tian and the five members of Wolf Team were dumbfounded at what they saw. Now they can see why Xu Long has been single all these years.
