Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 830 - Catching up to them

As Yue Ling and Lu Tian’s home’s renovation was completed without any disturbances, everyone’s days off also comes to an end. While the people of Imperial prepare for their day, the couple had already arrived at their companies.

Inside De L’amour, all was quiet as Yue Ling sat alone in her office. Her long dark hair is tied up in a sleek and high ponytail. Using the time of early arrival, she overlooks some doc.u.ments.

She wore a mid-length white blazer with a black satin dress. Tied around her waist was a gold chain belt as her feet wore a pair of black lace-up stiletto sandal heels.

* knock knock

Just as she flips a page, a soft knock sounds from the door. She doesn’t

answer or look up from the doc.u.ments as the door slowly pushes open.

"Boss? You’re here early."

The assistant pokes his head in first then enters the room. In his right hand is a tablet, while in his left hand is a folder. He thought he would be the first to get to work, but it turned out he was a few minutes late.

When he saw what was in Yue Ling’s hands, he sighs inside and walks over to her desk.

"Well, what do you think? Will that information be enough?"

Yue Ling waited until Liu Shan stopped in front of her desk before calmly setting the doc.u.ments down. She looks up at her assistant without any changes in her expression.

She doesn’t answer him quickly but looks back down at the doc.u.ments. She leans back on her chair and ponders for a long second.

She can understand why he had asked the question.

These doc.u.ments were important in today’s schedule since she will finally make her appearance at An Qing as the CEO.

"They’re enough."

Hearing her response, Liu Shan sighs in relief. He swore it was as if someone had lifted a massive weight off his shoulders. Even he could feel his legs turn weak from the relief he was feeling.

"Thank goodness."

He wipes away the invisible sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand holding the tablet.

"I was afraid it wouldn’t be enough."

From the moment Yue Ling mentioned going to Ah Qing, he had done everything he could to dig further information on specific people.

Although they had already taken care of some shakes within An Qing, they will still have to face the board of directors planted by Chen Limei.

Knowing these people won’t be easy to deal with, he was a little nervous. However, now he is confident by his boss’s words.

Yue ling knew what was on Liu Shan’s mind. She doesn’t reassure him again but glances at the tablet and folder in his hands.

"What are those?"

"Ah..."

Liu Shan came to his consciousness at her words. He looked down at his hands and pursed his lips like he was hesitant to answer truthfully. However, he quickly makes his decision.

"This is a few more information I gathered."

After returning home from Yuet Ling and Lu Tian’s place, he decided to check if he could find any more helpful information his boss can use. Surprisingly, he really did.

"The doc.u.ments in your hands are the information I found prior in helping us settle the score. However, last night, I dug deeper and found more of their deepest and darkest secrets."

A dangerous flash in his eyes, and he takes a small step forward.

"It seems like their past is catching up to them."

He places the tablet and folder on Yue Ling’s desk then calmly takes an effort back.

"This will shut them up for good."

Yue Ling arches an eyebrow upon hearing his words. She could also see that behind his calm expression was anger. The kind of anger she saw once in the past.

She stretches an arm forward and grabs hold of the tablet. She unlocks the screen and sees the information Liu Shan mentioned.

Her eyes scan through each page with carefulness. However, the more she read, the temperature in the room seemed to drop drastically.

After a long moment of silence past, she finishes looking through the details. She sets the tablet down, and a faint smile curls on her face.

"Interesting..."

Her one word was enough to let Liu Shan know that she approves of the current information. He straightens his spine and stuck his chest out with his hands held behind his back.

"When have I ever failed you on good intel?"

A dangerous yet mischievous light flashes across his eyes as one corner of his lip arcs up.

"Never."

Yue Ling ignores his overly confident behavior and looks back down at the tablet.

Even without this new information, they can dispose of the remaining snakes within An Qing. However, she is glad Liu Shan was able to find more baggage to put on the table.

It seems like Chen Limei wasn’t the only one involved in Chen Yifeng’s death.

She glances at the remaining folder Liu Shan placed on her desk. There was no need for her to look inside since she trusts Liu Shan will not let her down, but she still reaches for it.

As she scans through the doc.u.ments inside, she remembers something and asks without looking up.

"How is Liu Ye doing?"

Liu Shan pursed his lip like he was thinking hard on his answer.

"He’s fine. He’s with Lin Hui after all."

The space between Yue ling’s eyebrows creases, and she looks up from the folder.

"Lin Hui?"

Liu Shan knew why she was confused about his response. He nods his head to answer before exhaling a deep sigh.

"We decided it was best for Liu Ye to stay with Lin Hui."

After the renovation, he (Liu Shan), Xu Long, and Lin Hui thought it was best not to leave Liu Ye with their bosses. Their original plan was to have the young man stay with Xu Long since Manager Luo heavily guards Jade condos.

However, at the last minute, Lin Hui decided it was best to have Liu Ye stay with him since Liu Shan and Xu Long have to work.

Yue Ling stares at Liu Shan for a long second. She could see that he was telling the truth and doesn’t question him further. Instead, she asks a question she had wanted to ask since yesterday.

"Liu Ye has the same surname as you. Are you both by chance related?"

Liu Shan blinks his eyes at the unexpected question. He sighs with a faint smile and shakes his head no.

"If we were related, I would have never let him and his siblings live such a hard life."

His hand curls into tight fists, and his nails dug into his palms.

"No one should ever experience the suffering they’re going through."

Yue Ling could cope with Liu Shan’s words. Whether a person is related to her or not, she will not turn a blind eye if they are in need.

Thus, she knew that is why Liu Shan decided to bring Liu Ye to her home.

"What about his siblings?"

Liu Shan’s fists tighten more at the question. However, he closes his eyes to take a deep breath to calm his rising anger.

"From what I found, he has two siblings, a 17-year-old sister, and a ten-year-old brother. I searched their personal lives. Ever since Red Moon took Liu Ye, there’s been a list of hospital records on both children, especially the younger brother."

His eyes dimmed as he spoke each word.

"It looks like the father has shifted his anger to the kid. When questioned by authorities, he would say that children play and get hurt."

Yue Ling listens attentively until the end. She slowly closes her eyes to steady her feelings.

"Call the Ji Mansion. Tell my grandfather or Housekeeper Hu. I need Ting’s help."

As she opens her eyes again, a dangerous glint of light flashed across her face.

"Once the meeting at An Qing settles, have Lin Hui send Liu Ye home."

Liu Shan nods his head in understanding at the request of Ting. However, he soon furrows his eyebrows in confusion in regards to Liu Ye.

Why would she send Liu Ye home despite knowing his situation?

However, just as he asked the question in his head, Yue Ling’s following words eased his thoughts.

"We’ll be paying his father a little visit."
