Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chu Qiang nods his head as he stops pacing. Taking a deep breath to try and calm himself, he gesture to the elderly man.

”Let him in.”

Walking over to his desk, he sits down on the chair as Guan Li stood to his right.

The young man couldnʼt help but glance at the door. At the same time he couldnʼt help but ponder in thoughts to himself.

Chu Qiang had ordered Black Dragon to be close for the night, but he (Guan Li) had instructed some of the members to hide outside.

Of course, he is not planning to ambush Lu Tian, but if anything were to go wrong and this meet is some kind of trick, they can have back up when needed.

Just as he thought this, the sound of footsteps enters the room causing the tension inside to change drastically.

Lu Tianʼs tall figure walks through the door bringing in with him cold air.

He wore a black wool coat, with a sweater and jeans in the same shade of black. His eyes that were usually cold and gloomy filled with murderous intent.

Even when Lu Tian did not look at him, Guan Li felt intimidated. His feet turned cold and he didnʼt dare to make any reckless move.

”Ah, Mr. Lu. Itʼs a pleasure to have you here in Black Dragon.”

Chu Qiang smiles respectfully as he tries to force himself to calm down. He pretends to act like he was not just worriedly pacing inside the room. However, his legs couldnʼt stop trembling. If it were not for the desk covering him, everyone in the room would have noticed.

Taking a deep breath inside, he gestures to an empty chair and tries to maintain his smile.

”Please do sit.”

Lu Tian does not answer but walks over to the chair. However, he does not sit in the chair Chu Qiang had pointed to. Instead, he chose the one directly opposite from the manʼs desk.

Seeing this, Chu Qiang felt even more nervous. Lu Tianʼs refusal confirms that this time, Chu Li Xiang has done something that he (Chu Qiang) cannot fix.

Averting his eyes from the man, he looks at Guan Li.

”The weather is cold, bring some tea for Mr. Lu.”

”Yes boss.”

Guan Li bows to the man and leaves the room. However, just as he was about to take a step, Lu Tianʼs voice stops him.

”I am not here to drink tea with you.”

Lu Tian sat on the chair like a majestic ruler as Xu Long, Lin Hui and Qi Li stood behind him like his generals.

Put in a difficult situation, Guan Li gives his boss a glance only to see the manʼs face pale as a ghost before giving a wave of his hand. Understanding right away, he remains in place.

Taking another deep breath, Chu Qiang coerce a chuckle to his guests. He would be lying if he wasnʼt afraid, but he needs to hold it together.

”Mr. Lu, may I ask the reason for your sudden visit to Black Dragon?”

Lu Tian sat with one leg crossed over the other making a four figure. His elbows rest on the armrests and fingers intwine.

His murderous eyes stares at Chu Qiang for a long minute. However, never was he the kind of person to beat around the bush and he needed to get back to his wife. Parting his lips, his voice sounds.

”If you want to keep your peace in Imperial, hand over Chu Li Xiang.”

Hearing this, Chu Qiang was turned muddleheaded. He had sent his men to find where his brother was, but when they returned, it was only then that he learned his brother was arrested and thrown in prison.

How can he hand his brother over if he (Chu Li Xiang) is already in Lu Tianʼs hands?

Unless…

Thinking this, horror shows on Chu Qiangʼs expression as he stares at Lu Tian.

”Seems like youʼve finally caught on.”

Lu Tian calmly spoke as he takes a cigarette out from his pocket and lights it. His movements were as if he was the owner of the place while Chu Qiang and Guan Li were his guests.

Inhaling a puff, he blows the smoke out and his words continue.

”You see, your brother took someone from me. Someone very important. For that, he must pay the price.”

Listening attentively to each word, Chu Qiang knew that although Lu Tian had spoke calmly, he could see the intense anger in the manʼs dark eyes.

This time, he knows for sure that the business king is dead serious, and his stupid brother has committed a crime he has no control over.

Just as he thought this, his eyes subconsciously moves away from Lu Tian. However, when he unknowingly glance at the three men standing behind Lu Tian, he was even more struck to the core.

Like someone had poured a bucket of ice-cold water on him, he felt his heart stop beating.

He had been so focused on Lu Tian that he did not look at the three men until now.

However, he knows that one of them is Lu Tianʼs assistant, whereas the other two…

They were the ones who came to Black Dragon once, but even though it was only once, he will never forget their faces.

Only because these two men are members of Fate. No, they are Yue Lingʼs people.

Realizing this, the fear inside Chu Qiang intensify more than ever. Lu Tian said Chu Li Xiang took someone from him, could it be that his brother killed Yue Ling?

He looks at Lu Tian and his eyes shook, ”You mean to say my brother…”

Knowing what the man was going to say, Xu Long, Lin Hui and Qi Li sneers a scoff. All three men thought of the same thing, ʼas ifʼ.

Lu Tian brings the cigarette to his mouth and inhales a puff. As he finish blowing out the smoke, he spoke.

”Your brother escaped prison. Not only did he harm my people, he murdered my unborn child.”

Killing the cigarette on the arm rest, he slowly rises from the chair.

”Mr. Chu, your brotherʼs life, I will take. Whether you decide to go against me or not, it is your decision.”

Tossing the cigarette on the floor, Lu Tian turns to leave. His business here was done.

As he walked to the door, he pause in his steps and without turning back to look at Chu Qiang, his deep voice sounds again.

”Tell him, my wife is doing well and if wants to play hide and seek, he better hide well.”

His eyes darkens more before his words continue in an even more menacing tone.

”Because when I find him, I will not show any mercy.”

Lu Tianʼs last word fell and he strides out of the room with Xu Long following behind. However, Lin Hui and Qi Li did not.

Seeing this, Chu Qiang felt all the hair on his body stand.

Both men turn to look at Chu Qiang. The look in their eyes held no ounce of emotion other than indifference. At the same time, their voices sound as they relay a message.

”Fate will be collecting Chu Li Xiangʼs life.”
