Unexpected Second Chance at Love

"Grrr..."

Inside the living room of Yue Ling and Lu Tian’s house, Inu sat on one couch as the couple sat on the one across from him. However, he was constantly growling with angry eyes in their direction.

"Grrr..."

Behind the couch Yue Ling and Lu Tian were sitting on were the four men who locked Inu in the upstairs room. Knowing that the beast has been released, they could only hide from the little guy.

Yue Ling sat in silence. Lifting her hand, she massage her temples. Not because she was having a headache, but because she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this moment.

The reason Inu is so angry at the four men is because he had been stuck inside the house for so many days with no one to play with him.

Usually Lu Tian would play with him, but Yue Ling was in the hospital, so he only came home to let Inu out to do his business then leave the Samoyed.

So, when Liu Shan, Xu Long, Lin Hui and Qi Li came over, the little guy wanted to play with them.

However, the four men ignored him and went on with their own tasks. When he (Inu) finally had enough of being ignored, he went into zoomie mode.

He ran inside the house like a crazy maniac and knocked down each person and the items he bumps into.

Thus, the four men got scared and locked him upstairs. They actually thought he was trying to chase them out of the house.

Coming back from her thoughts of the story told, Yue Ling lowers her hand. She looks at Inu and sighs before turning to Lu Tian.

"Can you take him outside? I’m sure he’ll be happier."

Lu Tian calmly nods his head. Standing up, he turns to look at the four men. Looking at their faces one by one, he lightly shook his head and walks away.

"Inu, let’s go."

"Wroof—"

Inu barks a response as his white fluffy figure jumps down from the couch and follows after Lu Tian. All he wanted was to play, but the useless peasants didn’t want to play with him.

At least, now he has the evildoer to play with him.

His tail wags happily until he passed the couch his favorite was sitting on.

Seeing the four men that won’t play with him, he gives them a vicious glare before triggering a feint at them.

"Grrooof—"

"Ahhh—!!"

Caught of guard, all four men screamed like four little girls seeing the little ball going to pounce at them.

Liu Shan and Lin Hui quickly hugs one another while Xu Long jumped into Qi Li’s arms like a princess.

"Inu."

Lu Tian clears his throat to hide the urge to laugh as he calls out to the Samoyed. Walking to the door, he opens it and let’s Inu out to the back courtyard.

Seeing them scared to the max, Inu scoffs a snort and flung his head away with attitude. He raise his chin high and walks out the door like a noble beast.

Once he was out the door, he dashes away like a free soul entering the world again.

Lu Tian faintly smiles at the sight of Inu as he closes the door. Turning around, he sees the four men still frozen in fear and his head shook.

Walking back to sit with his wife, his voice sounds.

"Report."

Hearing his one word, Lin Hui and Liu Shan’s eyes blinked before realizing the position they were in. The two men quickly shoves the other away and straightens their clothes like they were not hugging each other.

At the same time, Xu Long heaved a sigh as he wipes the imaginary sweat on his forehead. He really thought Inu was going to lunge at them.

He subconsciously glance to the side before he took a quick second glance and froze in place.

Qi Li was looking at him with a straight face, but one can see how dumbfounded he is.

Slowly setting his feet down, Xu Long sarcastically chuckles and scratch the back of his head.

"Heh heh, thanks for carrying me."

Qi Li stares at the man with heavy eyes before striding away to the couch Inu was sitting on. His demeanor was as if he never partake in the act with the other three men.

Seeing the man act so calm, both Liu Shan and Lin Hui’s jaw dropped to the floor. Ever since they’ve known Qi Li, the man is very cautious when it comes to physical contact with anyone.

Even they can’t get near him, let alone jump into his arms like Xu Long.

However, remembering the crisis they just went through, they can tell that he (Qi Li) only let Xu Long off because he (Qi Li) wanted to keep the last ounce of dignity left for him.

Oblivious to all this, Xu Long runs to his laptop and sits down on the floor near his boss.

"We did locate Chu Li Xiang yesterday, but today, he became a ghost and has not set foot anywhere."

His fingers tap across the keyboard then he set the laptop on the glass coffee table.

"His last location was here."

Taking a look at the screen, Yue Ling arch a brow while Lu Tian furrow his brows.

The CCTV footage captured Chu Li Xiang outside an underground bar called Glory. However, this bar is known only to welcome those from the underworld.

"He met with Steelhead."

From the side, Liu Shan spoke as if he had never been scared of Inu. Walking over to his laptop, he types in a few codes and three images pop up.

The first image showed Chu Li Xiang walking out of the bar with a middle-aged man who only has one arm. In the second image, it captured them shaking hands like business partners and the third image shows Chu Li Xiang politely bowing as the man called Steelhead enters the black car.

Yue Ling calmly touch her chin and ponder in thoughts.

Glory is known for its strict business, so no cameras are put up inside for personal privacy. It is also the main place everyone from the underworld conduct their business.

However, it is known throughout the underworld that Black Dragon and Blue Axe are enemies, so why is Chu Li Xiang meeting with Steelhead the leader of Blue Axe?

She glance at the three photos then to Qi Li.

"What did you find?"

Qi Li didn’t beat around the bush and quickly tells her.

"Chu Li Xiang and Steelhead are secret business partners. Not only are they smuggling drugs, they are also trafficking women."

Thinking back to what he and Yiqing saw while tailing Steelhead, Qi Li’s eyes dimmed dangerously.

"We followed Steelhead after finding out his business with Chu Li Xiang. At the port, we saw three shipping containers. Two trafficking women out of Imperial while one trafficking them into Imperial."

Listening to his words, Yue Ling nod her head in a calm manner, but one can see the murderous glint in her eyes.

Holding her chin, her pointer finger gently taps on her lip.

"It seems Chu Qiang really has no idea what Chu Li Xiang has been doing."

Lin Hui leans against the couch near Lu Tian and cross his arms over his chest.

"If he knew what that bastard brother of his has been doing, he would faint to death."

Leaning back against the couch, Yue Ling cross one leg over the other.

"Until the meeting with the underworld, I want you four to keep a close eye on Steelhead too."

Saying this, she stood up to leave the room. She wanted to shower and change into comfortable clothes since she just came back from the hospital.

However, just as she stood, the man sitting next to her clears his throat.

Yue Ling was rooted to floor when she remember her deal with the devil. Taking a deep breath, she lifts her hand. Placing the back of her hand on her forehead, she pretends she was going to faint.

"Oh... Head Eunuch Lu, help me walk to the bedroom."

Hearing her words and seeing her bad acting, the four men were struck dumbfounded.

Is this really the Han Yue Ling they know? The woman who is not scared of anything or anyone.

Just as they thought this, Lu Tian’s expression kept its usual indifference as he stood up. Placing his arm over her shoulder, he helps her move from the couch.

"Let us go, Emperor Han."

Yue Ling does not push the man away, but she made sure to roll her eyes and didn’t care if he saw or not. As much as she doesn’t want to lose her face like this, she already gave him her words.

As the couple walk towards the stairs, Liu Shan, Lin Hui, Xu Long and Qi Li stare with their eyes on the brink of closing.

What did they just see? Who are these two people? What happened to their bosses? How did it become like this?
