Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Inside An Qing, Guo Rong stares at the young man who had barged into his office. He was unable to comprehend the words that he was hearing. This is his office, so how is he the one who is tired of living?

Lin Hui stares back at the middle-aged man. The smile on his face disappear and his expression was replaced with a nonchalant look. He walks toward the two people in the room, but comes to a stop in the middle of the room and shift his gaze away to look around.

Everything inside the room was decorated with high-quality products and he could tell from a glance they were authentic and not replicas. Even the nameplate was made from the best quality.

His head nods a few times like he was interested in what he was seeing. However, it only lasted for a quick second as he looks back at the man with seriousness.

”Guo Rong, age 48. Chief Operations Officer of An Qing. Married to Su Yian. Two children, Guo Ying, age 26 and Guo Mo, age 15.”

Hearing each word, Guo Rong was frozen in place. He could only stare with widening eyes as he could no longer think clearly. He has never seen Lin Hui before, but every word that came from the young man was like he (Lin Hui) was reading it from a book.

Like he was able to read the man’s inner thoughts, Lin Hui smiles a smile that reaches his eyes.

”You’ve been with An Qing for six years and climbed your way to become the Chief Operations Officer in 2 years. Is that correct?”

He takes both his hands out of his pockets and held them behind his back.

”For those six years, does your wife and children know that you are a bastard who enjoys bullying the weak? Or… Should I say, assault, bribery, child abuse, and sexual harassment? What about your affairs with your fellow female employees you fancy? Have you ever thought about what your wife and children will think about you?”

”…”

Hearing these words, Guo Rong felt a chill crawl up his spine and his forehead began to sweat. However, thinking about something, anger quickly boils inside him.

He raises his hand and points his pointer finger directly at Lin Hui like it was right in front of the young man’s face.

”Imbecile! How dare you barge into my office and slander me?! I have never committed any child abuse in my life.”

Lin Hui kept his composure but inside he was rolling his eyes like he was on a roller coaster ride. He raises one hand to the side of his head and he uses his pinky finger to dig his ear.

”Are you done, old man?”

Even though Guo Rong is older, he didn’t care to show any courtesy and points down to Miss Lin who was still sobbing quietly on the floor.

”She is half your age. So distinguishing the age gap, she is still a child and what you were doing to her before I walked in, is what you call child abuse.”

His words fell like boulders on Guo Rong. He looks down at the sobbing woman and he sighs inside. If he had been a second late, who knows what would have happened to her.

”Miss Lin, you’re safe now. Please leave the room, I have some things to discuss with this old man.”

He knew her name because it was something Yue Ling had instructed them to remember. It wasn’t only Miss Lin’s name, but also every employee inside An Qing. Even their face was something he and the others had to memorize.

Miss Lin was unable to look up at her savior, but she nods her head thankfully. Clutching onto her clothes that were almost ripped open, she stood up and runs out of the room.

Watching his prey get away, Guo Rong was nervous and angry. He wanted to run after Miss Lin, not to woo her, but to quiet her from saying anything about what happened.

However, looking at Lin Hui, he knew he couldn’t.

His hand clenches into tight fists and he growls at the young man.

”Get out of my office. If you don’t, I will have security escort you out.”

He spoke like someone who had been wrong and without waiting, he strides in big steps to his desk. He picks up the work phone and dials the button for security.

Placing the phone near his ear, he murmurs angrily as he waits for the call to go through.

”This is outrageous. Who does he think he is?”

[”This is security, COO Guo is everything alright?”]

The line connects as the person from the other line answer and Guo Rong part his lips to inform them of the situation. However, before he could say anything, his eyes widen in horror as he sees Lin Hui stop in front of him. A palm then reaches forward to him and covers his mouth.

”Mmmf!!”

[”Hello? COO Guo?”]

Every word Guo Rong wanted to say turned muffled and the phone drops on top of the desk.

Lin Hui grabs the man by the lower half of his (Guo Rong) face and ruthlessly slams him against the wall behind the desk. He still held a smile on his face as he shakes his head at Guo Rong.

”Wrong move.”

Pressing the middle-aged man’s head harder against the wall, his other hand reaches for the phone and he puts it near his ear.

”Security, report to the conference room, we have a situation here.”

He doesn’t wait for a response from the other line and ends the call. He doesn’t hang up the phone, but forcefully tugs the entire phone and disconnects the cord.

Dropping it onto the floor, his smiles widen, and his eyes turned into upside-down crescents.

”You’re curious about who I am, aren’t you?”

Guo Rong was frozen stiff in fear. He has always been the one who held control, but now, he was more terrified than anything. Compare to all the other people who were superior to him, Lin Hui is by far the scariest person he has ever encountered.

However, when he heard the question, he could only nod his head as his mouth was still held by the young man.

Lin Hui scoff inside at how scared the man has become.

His smile never faltered, but his eyes were no longer smiling as they held a murderous look.

”I am here to collect your fate.”
