Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Liu Shan thought back to when he and Gui Tian Lan informed Yue Ling about Xiao. She listened until the end with no change in her expression. They thought she was going to be angry that they brought trouble to her.

However, that wasn’t the case.

She didn’t get angry at them for doing what they did, and it was understandable because it involved the safety of Fate.

When they asked if she wanted them to take out Red Moon, she shook her head. She instructed everyone to not make a move.

Not because she is afraid of Red Moon but because there is still a need to have the gang around.

Since she gathered the other influential leaders of the underworld for a meeting, it clearly meant that Fate has returned. With this fact, Tao Meng knows not to cross the line. If he does, it isn’t only Fate that he has to deal with but also White Tiger, Black Dragon, Black Jade, and Red Dragon.

These four gangs stand below Fate, but they are more potent than other gangs.

”Fate has returned to the underworld, and that alone is enough to keep Red Moon from trying anything stupid.”

Liu Shan spoke calmly, but each word that escaped his mouth only darkened his expression.

”If Tao Meng so close as to try and have any interest in my boss again, I swear on my life, I’ll rip him to pieces.” Even if it means I have to go back to being Mad Reaper.

He spoke the last sentence to himself, and Xu Long nods his head a few times in understanding. He thought back to the reports he found regarding the underworld.

”I see, so that’s how it is…”

As someone who works alongside Lu Tian and Wolf Team, he has to gather all the intel when needed. From what he found, Red Moon is a smaller gang compare to Black Dragon and White Tiger, but it (Red Moon) still holds a specific position in the underworld.

If Fate takes out Red Moon, it will mean one less gang to deal with. However, even if Red Moon disappears, another bloodshed will rise in the underworld as other smaller gangs will undoubtedly try to take over.

The more Xu Long thought about this, he could only applaud his lady boss. Yue Ling knows the pros and cons of the underworld, but one thing she knows is that if a fight was to break out, it was either Fate who had to clean the mess or his boss.

So not wanting to bother Lu Tian, she tells those from Fate to not do anything unless necessary.

However, thinking about something, he sounds a faint scoff un remembrance of his last encounter with Red Moon.

It had been a year ago, but he remembers it as it had only happened yesterday.

All he has to say is that the people in Red Moon are arrogant and full of themselves. To think the new leader of that gang dared to take in interest in his lady boss.

Wait, what?!!

Like Deja-vu struck him on the face, he looks at Liu Shan with horror. It was like time had really rewind, and he brought back to the time he learned Lin Hui was a hitman.

Only, this time, it was about Yue Ling.

His mouth opened and closed like a fish washed up on dry land. It took him a while before he struggles a hard gulp and found his voice.

”Tao Meng was trying to woo MY lady boss?! As in, MY lady boss, Han Yue Ling AKA Mami?”

He made it loud and clear that Yue Ling was his lady boss. However, Liu Shan and Lin Hui scrunch their face at him.

Yue Ling is their boss, but Xu Long made it seem like she was his boss first.

However, shaking the thought, Lin Hui answers with a snort.

”Don’t even remind me of that. If you had seen the way he was looking at boss, you would be boiling with rage like the rest of us.”

Xu Long’s entire being drained of all colors. He did not expect to hear such a thing. However, why is he just now hearing this? What about his boss, does he (Lu Tian) know?

No, probably not. If Lu Tian did know, Tao Meng and Red Moon would have been in a bigger chaotic mess. Also, he would have been informed about everything instead of hearing from Liu Shan and Lin Hui.

Raising one hand, he bites his nails and contemplates something serious.

After a few seconds, he makes a decision and abruptly stood up from the couch. He stares ahead with the posture of a soldier and inhales a deep breath.

”I swore my oath to loyalty. For that, I must do what I am destined to do.”

Taking significant strides, he runs in the direction of his bedroom.

”Um… why is he in such a rush?”

Lin Hui asked with a puzzled look. One minute he was calm, then he was acting like a panic mother hen in the next minute.

Just what is going on in that head of his?

Liu Shan glance in the direction the man had raced off to. He turns away to pick up his cup of coffee.

”If my guess is correct, he must be on his way to inform his boss.”

Holding the cup in hand, he felt its coldness and heaves a sigh.

”We should also give boss a heads up.”

His words fell like a gentle breeze, and he stood up from the couch.

From Xu Long’s reaction to the news, he can confirm that Yue Ling had not told Lu Tian. So, as her subordinate and someone who also swore an oath to loyalty, he should let her know in case Lu Tian goes on a rampage.

He walks towards the kitchen to make a new cup of coffee but pauses in his steps.

”By ’we,’ I meant you.”

Lin Hui was left alone in the living room in a flabbergasted state. He scratches the back of his head and frowns at where Liu Shan had gone.

”Call boss? But should that be you? You’re her assistant. Besides, Xu Long is only… Oh, snap!”

He muddleheaded at first, but quickly putting Liu Shan’s words and Xu Long’s behavior together, he quickly caught on. He reaches into his pocket and takes out his phone at a frantic speed.

Unlocking the screen, he presses the speed dial number for his boss then place the phone near his ear.

As the phone rings from the other line, he bites his nails in a nervous sob.

”Come on. Come on, boss. Pick up your phone. This is a life and death situation. Please.”
