Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Lu Tian stood outside of the house he shared with his wife. His left hand stuck inside his pants pocket while his other hand clasped around his phone at his side.

He stares ahead to the panoramic view of Imperial, and his eyes slowly flutter.

After returning home, he had received a phone call from Xu Long. The call was to let him know that a new location had been assigned for Qin Jun, Kira, and Song Jing Li.

At that moment, Ye Zhongwei was on his way to bring the three men to the newly secured place.

Although it was a risky take, it was better to have the three men stay near Retro.

His eyes calmly blink before his tall figure turns around. He enters the house and walks up the stairs to his and Yue Ling’s shared study room.

Once he took a seat at his desk, his eyes landed on his wife’s desk.

He deeply ponders over something he had found during his search for the anonymous person. However, he looks away from her desk, not wanting to make any wrong judgment.

Switching his computer monitor on, he proceeds to continue his search.

He needed solid information before he could begin any questioning or put his suspension at ease.

*Vr vr

Just as he was about to type over the keyboard, his phone vibrated in alert of a message. He picks up his phone and opens the message. It was from Xu Long.

[”All movements have ceased again.”]

Lu Tian slightly frowns, reading the words. He didn’t need a full report to understand his assistant’s message.

He had Xu Long report all movements from Retro. It was Choi Li Sun’s last known location before he ordered an ambush on Qin Jun and the others.

He would have focused on where Qin Jun, Kira, and Song Jing Li had set up base, but it was already burnt to the ground. He had also retraced the enemy’s steps, and everything led back to Retro.

This could only mean Choi Li Sun was hiding somewhere in Retro.

Thinking about this, his thoughts shift to the mysterious person he was searching for. If he wanted to, he could have turned Retro upside down to deal with Choi Li Sun. However, something inside him keeps directing him back to the unknown person who is also looking for Choi Li Sun.

He needed to know if this person was a foe or an enemy.

If this person is a foe, there is a possible chance they can work together, but if this person is an enemy, he cannot let this person roam around freely.

*Beep beep

A sudden alert on his computer brings him back from his thoughts, and he clicks on the message on the screen.

[”Toosexyformyshirt has entered the system.”]

Looking at the pseudonym, he couldn’t help but sigh with a light shake of his head. However, quickly brushing all unnecessary thoughts aside, he focuses on his next step.

Getting the exact pinpoint of this person’s location.

As Lu Tian began his work and Yue Ling made her round at An Qing, in another part of Imperial, Lin Hui helped the Liu siblings move into their new apartment.

During the time he had not met up with the others, Liu Shan had informed him of Yue Ling’s plans for the Liu siblings.

She has provided an apartment for them and will help cover their living expenses until they are all of age. She also sent over an application for an IT position at An Qing for Liu Ye.

He places the box in his hands down on the floor and looks at the young man.

”Hey, Liu Ye, how do you feel about working at An Qing?”

When he heard the man, Liu Ye was sitting on the floor, sorting out the things he had bought for the apartment. He looks up, and a look of hesitation can be seen on his face.

”An Qing? You mean the company Miss Han owns?”

He had always dreamed of working for a big company and expressed the one thing keeping him going in life besides his younger siblings.

However, now that he is given this opportunity, why does he feel so down?

Lin Hui nods without expressing any words. His response was enough to make the young man’s lips pout.

”Come on now, kid. This is great news. Why are you putting on such a long face?”

He smiles a chuckle and walks over to the young man. ”Boss knows that you wouldn’t want the easy way in. She may have sent the application, but it’s up to your skills to get you the position.”

He squats down to be at eye level with him and grins.

”Besides, as your master, I have full trust in your capabilities.”

Hearing this, Liu Ye’s eyes lit up with a hint of excitement. He was thrilled to be offered a position at An Qing but would instead use his skills to work there.

He was already in so much debt to Yue Ling that he wanted to at least do something for her in return. ”I’ll apply for the position.”

His expression showed the immense determination that suddenly washed over him. It was just as Lin Hui said. During the past few days, he has broadened his knowledge in the IT industry thanks to his master. He even learned a few new tricks that he never knew existed.

The determination inside him grew more, and he clenched his fist.

He will do his best to get the position. Once he enters An Qing, he will do everything to protect the company of the person who gave him hope again.

Lin Hui smiles at the young man. He looked at the watch on his wrist and stood up.

”Looks like we should stop here. Your siblings are going to be out of school soon.”

He puts on his jacket and turns to look at Lin Ye.

”Let’s go. There’s more good news to share with your younger siblings, too. Plus, we still have to show them their new home.”

Liu Ye was stunned to hear these words. He stops what he is doing and quickly grabs his jacket to follow after Lin Hui. Due to Liu Jingyu and Liu Jianan still in school, they weren’t informed about the new place Yue Ling had given them. And as if that was not enough good news combined with the opportunity given to him to apply at An Qing, there was still more?

As they leave the apartment, Liu Ye stares at the back of Lin Hui’s head. He wanted to ask what the news was for his younger siblings, but after pondering a bit, he decided to remain silent.

He can wait until they pick up Liu Jingyu and Liu Jianan.

And with that decision, he made another promise inside. He will definitely pay back everyone who helped him and his siblings. Even if they do not want anything in return, big or small, he will do so.
