Unexpected Second Chance at Love

While Yue Ling and Lu Tian head to the Lu family house, in another part of Imperial, Liu Shan’s red Audi r8 pulls up to an abandoned factory. The exquisite car parks in front of the building and the engines shut off.

As Liu Shan steps out into view, he didn’t forget to look at the details of the place. He slightly frowns at how shabby and broken down the building was. He swore it was like if he were to throw a rock inside, the entire place would crumble into dust.

”Then again, this is a pretty good hideout.”

When Qin Jun called him, he decided to come here since he was off work. However, seeing the location now, he isn’t too surprised. It was one he would never expect the three men to hide in as this place had long been forgotten.

”Well look who it is.”

A man’s voice sounds from the left of the assistant. He (Liu Shan) turns his head to the person and see who it is, he scoffs a chuckle then close the driver’s door.

”It’s good to see you too, kid.”

Song Jing Li stood at the front entrance of the place and stares at Liu Shan. His expression was indifferent with no ounce of happiness one should make when seeing a friend after so long.

His eyes glued onto the assistant without saying another word. Even when Liu Shan walked past him, his eyes followed his every move until he was glancing to the right of him as if he could still see the man.

Finally blinking, he sees something red from the corners of his eyes to the left. He doesn’t think much and turns his head to see what it is.

Seeing the assistant’s red Audi r8, he snorts arrogantly and spun around. He picks up his pace to catch up to Liu Shan until they were walking shoulder to shoulder.

He places his hands in the front pockets of his pants and glance at the assistant then scoffs a sarcastic chuckle.

”Seems like you’re living well off, now that you’ve come to Imperial.”

Liu Shan remained unfazed by the young man. He glances back at Song Jing Li then continues on with his wait. He didn’t need to question the attitude the man was giving because he already knows why.

Clearly, Song Jing Li is still angry with him because he (Liu Shan) did not try to stop Yue Ling from moving to Imperial. However, what can he do? She is his boss and benefactor. Anything she decides on, he will follow her willingly.

In the past, this was a serious matter, but now that they were in the present time, Liu Shan doesn’t dwell too much on it and shrugs one shoulder.

”I am living quite well these days here. In fact, so well that my boss gifted me one of her babies.”

He spoke arrogantly and smirks after the word babies. However, like they were on good terms, he nudges Song Jing Li with his elbow and leans closer to the young man.

”And it’s the same one you always wanted too.”

Feeling the nudge on his arm, Song Jing Lu swore it felt like a huge slap to his face. His feet glued to the floor and he was frozen in place. All he could do was stare as Liu Shan continues to walk forward.

It was like an invisible force field maintaining his straight face finally shatters. His jaw drops to the ground and his eyes fell from their sockets.

After what felt like an eternity had gone by, the corners of his mouth twitch uncontrollably before he was able to find the courage to speak.

”Y-You m-mean that’s… t-that’s the…”

He stutters his words but was unable to finish his sentence. He could only continue to stare at Liu Shan as his thoughts turned chaotic.

Liu Shan didn’t have to turn around to see the young man’s face. He grins to himself as he could already guess it and was sure it was the expression he was hoping for.

However, he quickly wipes away the grin and stops in his steps to face Song Jing Li.

He held a straight face similar to the one the young man had been giving him, then one corner of his lip curls up into a side smirk.

”That’s right. The car she wouldn’t give you.”

”…”

Song Jing Li’s jaw dropped further into the ground. He could not believe what he is hearing. How could Yue Ling gift the red Audi r8 to someone else?

She knows how much he’s wanted the car and how much time he spent helping her customize it.

And to make things even worse, the new owner of such a devilish beast is none other than Liu Shan, who knows nothing about cars.

Despite his cursing inside, what he did not know is that it was Liu Shan who specifically chose the car himself.

Paying not more attention to Song Jing Li’s dazed state of mind, Liu Shan carried on with his way until he was standing in the middle of the abandoned factory. He places one hand on his hip and touches his chin with the other.

His eyes scan the premises and nod every few seconds. The place was indeed on the brinks of ruins, but from he can see, the three men living here, for the time being, have kept it up to date.

”Shan.”

Just as Liu Shan turned to face the many monitor screens set up on one wall of the place, a man’s voice calls his name from the side. Unlike Song Jing Li’s voice, this person had a deeper voice.

However, it was a very familiar voice.

He turns to the person and when their eyes locked on one another, he doesn’t smile but gives a small nod.

”Jun.”

Giving a simple greeting, he walks to the chair placed in front of the many monitors, and sits down.

”Don’t worry, she doesn’t know that I am here. She is also too busy that she hasn’t asked me whether it was really you, who she saw the other day.”

He looks up at the screens displayed in front of him then spun the chair around to face his old friend.

”So, why the sudden need for my help?”

Qin Jun remained still in the place he had entered from. From his side, Song Jing Li enters the room the same with Kira. All three men stare at the assistant and each person held their own thoughts.

It was as if they had gone back to the past when they were able to work alongside Fate.

However, thinking about Liu Shan’s words, they could only brush these thoughts aside.

Ever since Shin’s death, everyone has changed.

Yue Ling forgot about them and moved on with her life. Meanwhile, they too have moved on. Moved on from their music career to search for the murderer of their brother.

Taking a deep a quiet breath, Qin Jun was the first to return to himself. He didn’t want to bother Liu Shan with their trivial matters, but they have encountered something that even Kira couldn’t unsolved.

He reaches inside the inner pocket of his coat and takes out a small piece of paper. He lowers his head and looks at it for a split second before walking over to Liu Shan.

”We need your help finding someone.”
