Unexpected Second Chance at Love

———

The moment Lu Tian enter through the back doors, he arch his brows at the living room.

Sitting on one of the sofa was an old man with grey hair. He wore a set of dark grey loungewear. Standing at his side was another old man, but this old man wore a black suit.

Looking at the two figures, he couldn’t help but think that their roles were reversed. The old man in suit looked more like the boss, whereas the old man in loungewear looked like the assistant. However, he knows it wasn’t like that at all.

The old man in loungewear wasn’t your normal old man. Even at old age, his name was well known throughout China. His aura was that of a proud and mighty general. Many people have great respect for the old man, including him, the cold and ruthless king of the business world.

Across from the two old men was his father. Just when he looked at his father, the man turned around and laughs.

"Oh, Tian. Come and greet Grandfather Ji."

Lu Tian walks towards the living room. He nod his head to Old Man Ji and then Zhang Yong.

"Grandfather Ji. Assistant Zhang."

"Lu Tian."

Old man Ji nod his head back. His aura that of a true general. He didn’t not back down when face with the young and aloof Lu Tian that many people fear.

Watching the young man walk into the living room and sit down, Old Man Ji sized Lu Tian. This lad would definitely make a perfect match for my precious granddaughter.

However, he can’t say it aloud. Even if he saw Lu Tian as a potential partner for her. He knows his granddaughter and it’s still her decision to decide who she wants to marry. He is not one to force Yue Ling and Jingxu into doing something they don’t like.

From the side, Zhang Yong rolled his old eyes. Did his master only wanted to come here to size the oldest son of the Lu family or get down to business? However, even with his mind thinking that way, he also sized Lu Tian. He had to admit, the young man had become a very prominent person at a young age. One who deserves great respect from many. Even he thinks the lad can be worthy of the young Miss.

Lu Tian sat down on the sofa, next to his father. He was completely oblivious to the two old men’s thoughts.

"Is there a reason for Grandfather Ji’s sudden visit?"

He asked without fear or hesitation. It wasn’t everyday that the old man visits the Lu Household. If he did, then it was either for his father’s birthday or government issues that required both the Lu family and military to solve.

Across from Lu Tian, Old man Ji nod his head approvingly. No fear and no hesitation. This lad is definitely worthy to be a potential partner for his granddaughter and deserves his respect. Looking right back at Lu Tian, he spoke in a powerful voice.

"I came today, because of Ghost Gang. I’m sure your assistant has already hacked into the footages. If I am correct, you also know that beside the boy Ting, there was another boy at the scene."

Old man Ji’s eyes remained on Lu Tian, "You don’t need to commence your team to further search the boy’s whereabouts."

Lu Tian arch a brow at the old man. His expression remained indifferent.

The old man sighs and continue, "That boy is my grandson, Jingxu."

Lu Tian: "....."

Old Lu: "Y-You mean that other boy is your Jingxu?"

Old man Ji: "Mm. When I found out who took him, I ordered my men to rescue him. We did not bring Ting with us because we knew Lu Tian’s team was there."

Old man Ji told half the truth. He could not tell them that it was his delicate and precious granddaughter who demolished an entire gang. He can’t afford to jeopardize her image. Especially not when she hasn’t married. Like, what kind of man would marry her knowing she has blood on her hands?

Well, if every man is too scared of a strong woman, then he doesn’t mind keeping his granddaughter. Even sometimes, he feels no man is worthy of her.

Lu Tian glanced at Old man Ji. So it was the military who arrived before him and his team. However, he never knew that there was a very skilled man within the old man’s troop. He thought this way because there were days when his team would train along side Old man Ji’s troops.

"I will detach my men."

"That would be for the best."

Old man Ji and Zhang Yong sighed in relief inside. Their purpose in visiting the Lu Household was because of this reason. Liu Shan had informed them about the team that came after they arrived to rescue Jingxu and Ting. Not only that, but that the same group was trying to find more information on Yue Ling.

Knowing this, Old man Ji knew it was Lu Tian and his team. So he decided to pay a visit to stop them further searching.

Lu Tian thought of something and he pout his lip.

"Grandfather Ji, I’d like to ask you a question?"

"Mm. Go ahead. If I can answer then I will."

Old man Ji answered Lu Tian. His outer appearance was calm, but deep down, he couldn’t help but swallow a gulp. Who knew what the lad would ask? Could he know that it was his granddaughter?

Lu Tian’s expression remained indifferent as his usual cold and deep voice sound, "When my team arrived at the scene, every member from Ghost Gang were already dead."

His eyes looked to Old man Ji then to Zhang Yong and back to the old man.

"My assistant was able to retrieve a small footage during the scene. It appeared everything that happened to Ghost Gang was caused by one man only. However, their cause of death was either the heart, the head or both. Why is that?"

Hearing Lu Tian mention the words ’one man only’, both old men sighed in relief inside. Yue Ling’s cover was not blown.

To kill in such a way is definitely his granddaughter. It was the way Old Han had taught her. Of course he didn’t say it out loud. Instead, Old man Ji laughs and slap his knee, "Oh-hoho, that’s very simple. The head for having no brain and the heart for having no heart."

Lu Tian nod his head. Although the old man’s answer sounded like a riddle, he knew its meaning.

Everything made sense now.

That means, the man had specifically target the head and heart because Ghost Gang did not think before their actions and they had no heart for what they did.

"Target the head for not thinking and the heart for being heartless."

Old man Ji laughs again, "Correct. What’s the use of a brain if one does not use it, and why have a heart if you’re full of cruel intentions?!"

Lu Tian nod his head indifferently, "I appreciate your honest answer."

"Haha, no need. It was a question I could help answer."

"Woof! Woof!"

Old man Ji frown and looks for the source of bark. Just when he looked to the back door, he sees Lu Han and Zhao Ya’Er enter the house. However, his eyes slightly widen. His old body froze in surprise.

"Inu?"

Inu who could not open the door had waited patiently. His heart cursing the two puny peasants outside for not hurrying in. He wanted to go say hi to his second favorite peasant, beside his mommy. He had smelt the old man’s scent when Lu Tian went back inside.

Just when Lu Han finally decided to go back in, the moment he opened the door Inu barged right in.

"Woof! Woof!"

"Inu!"

Old man Ji exclaimed happily. He reach down and scratch the back of Inu ears as the Samoyed sat right by him. The last time he saw Inu was three years ago, when Yue Ling first saved the little guy as a puppy. Surprisingly, he still remembers the old man.

Wait.....

Why is Inu here? How did he get here?

Uh.... this is Inu right? Even the collar is the same...

Lu Han: "Grandfather Ji, you know the little guy?"

"Ahh....." Old Man Ji was rooted to the sofa. Good thing for his fast brain, he quickly thinks of an answer. "Ahaha, I said Inu because Inu in Japanese means dog. Hahah... What is his name?"

Lu Tian: "His name is Inu."

Inu: "Wroof!"

Zhang Yong: "...."

Old Lu: "..."

Lu Han: "..."

Zhao Ya’Er: "....."

Old man Ji frown at Lu Tian’s answer, ’Can it be a coincidence that this little guy has the same name as his granddaughter’s Inu? No... this is definitely Inu, but why is he here at the Lu Household?’

He ponder in thinking, however, the only answer to his curiosity is if he ask his granddaughter.

That’s right, he will definitely ask her. Is she....

He looks at Lu Tian then Lu Han. Could his granddaughter be secretly seeing one of the Lu kids? But which one?

He looks at Lu Han and his eyes narrow. Thinking of something, he frowns and shakes his head. No, definitely not this one. Then he looks at Lu Tian, his eyes narrow so much, it looked like they had closed.

Can it be the oldest Lu boy then? After all, he knew Inu’s name...

Hrmmm.....

"....."

Everyone, besides Lu Tian and Inu, watched dumbfounded at the different changes in Old man Ji’s expression.

Who knows what the old man was thinking at this moment!!
