Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 943 Who could it be?

Song Jing Li dodged the sudden bullet but was grazed on the arm. He drops to the ground and sees Kira attacking the man while calling out to him.

"Jing Li, are you alright?"

"Not bad dodging that bullet."

The burly man laughs as his figure appears from behind the tree. He stood over Song Jing Li and sneered.

"But you should worry about yourself first."

He raises his hand in midair and points the tip of the gun at Song Jing Li's head.

"You know…"

The burly man crouches down and tilts his head, never moving the gun away.

"If you guys never came after him, he wouldn't have sent us."

One corner of his lip raised when he saw Song Jing Li's slightly quivered.

"Oh yeah, I have a message to relay. He knows. He knows you guys are here and trying to find him."

Song Jing Li listened to the man's words and tightly gripped his wound. He clenches his teeth and snaps at the man.

"Then why isn't that coward here to finish us?"

The burly man furrows his brows at the young man. He puts on a pondering face before grinning with his teeth showing.

"Because you guys are not the one he wants."

Leaving his words at that, he pulled the trigger and stood up. However, his eyes slightly shook.

He didn't understand why he was falling sideways.

*Thump.

The burly man falls onto the ground. Blood oozed from the side of his head as he stared into death. Never seeing or knowing who ended his life.

Song Jing Li was struck in a daze at the sight of the man. He was so focused on the man that he forgot to pay attention to his surroundings.

He quickly returns to his senses and turns to look in the direction in which Kira was last seen.

There, he could see the samurai-looking man lying on the ground with a body next to him. His eyes shook as he stumbled onto his feet.

"Kira. Kira, answer me."

He holds his arm to stop the bleeding and makes his way over. Unfortunately, his body betrayed him, and he fell forward.

"Shit."

He curses at himself, and his eyes grow heavy with the passing second. He wanted to wake up and check on Qin Jun and Kira, but no matter what he did, it was a failure.

His consciousness became hazy, and he was slipping into unconsciousness.

However, he could vaguely make out two familiar figures.

One of the figures crouched next to Qin Jun's body before going over to Kira's.

"Boss, I found Qin Jun and Kira. Their pulses are weak."

Hearing those words, Song Jing Li felt weak but relieved. His eyes slowly blinked to stay awake, and he saw a tall figure calmly approaching him.

The figure stops in front of him, and he tries to look up. However, before lifting his head, he slips into unconsciousness after uttering a name.

"Lu Tian…"

Lu Tian's emotionless figure stood over Song Jing Li as Xu Long ran over to check the young man's condition. Once he confirms a pulse, he looks up at his boss.

"Boss, his pulse is also weak. He also has a bullet graze on his arm."

Despite hearing this, Lu Tian's expression remained unfazed. He looks at the dead bodies scattered in the direction of the abandoned building in flames.

Judging from the fire, he could tell that this attack had been going on for a while.

Song Jing Li and Kira exerted strength until the end while carrying Qin Jun. They gave in to their exhaustion only when they felt a sense of safety.

Lu Tian glances over his shoulder at Song Jing Li before walking away.

"Bring them to Ye Zhongwei."

Left alone, Xu Long was quite baffled at the order. He looks at Qin Jun and Kira, then down at Song Jing Li.

His brows furrow tightly together before letting out a long exhale.

"This is not a one-man job, but an order is an order."

He crouches down to pick up the young man in front of him. Despite his usual weak appearance, he carried Song Jing Li like a teddy bear.

Without wasting any more time, he puts Song Jing Li in the backseat of his car and then leaves to get the other two unconscious men.

Lu Tian stood in front of the door to his car and stared at the abandoned building engulfed in flames. His thoughts remained unreadable as the flickering of the fire cast a reddish-orange glow over his face.

When Xu Long had finished putting the three men inside his car, sirens echoed from a distance.

The boss and assistant turned to the source, and three police cars and two fire trucks pulled up, blocking their path.

However, despite the intimidating sound of the police sirens, neither Lu Tian nor Xu Long faltered.

As the firefighters rush to put out the fire, the doors to the police car open.

Chief Ren was shocked by the amount of fire done to the abandoned building but collected his composure and walked over to Lu Tian and Xu Long.

"Lu Tian, what is going on here?"

He was about to head home after a long shift, but his phone suddenly rang. He was pretty confused when he saw that it was Lu Tian calling. However, considering how late it was already, he answered the call.

All he got from the caller was the word fire and coordinates.

Returning to his senses, he glances at Xu Long's car, parked next to Lu Tian's. He takes notice of the three men in the back. His eyes slightly narrowed to get a better look at their faces, but due to the dark tint of the assistant's car, he couldn't see.

"Tell me now. What is going on here? Who are these people? Where are you taking them?"

Lu Tian stares at the man without answering right away. His eyes slowly blink, and he takes a cigarette from his inner coat pocket.

"They're Chief Kim's men."

Hearing this, Chief Ren's eyes widen in surprise. His eyes dart between Lu Tian and the back of Xu Long's car, then back at the aloof man.

"Y-You mean Chief Kim as City Z's Chief Kim?"

Lu Tian answers a faint mm before casually placing the cigarette in his mouth and lighting the end part. He inhales a puff of the tobacco before blowing the smoke out.

"They're here to work on a case with me."

Understanding his words, Chief Kim nods his head. He had many questions he wanted to ask, but considering the situation, he knew he had to wait.

"Alright. Go. I'll clean up here."

Lu Tian was grateful for the man's understanding. He tosses the cigarette aside after killing the burning end and gets inside his car.

Quick to follow his boss, Xu Long bids Chief Red farewell and quickly enters his car.

The boss and assistant duo did not stop to look back and sped away from the scene.

Chief Ren could only stare at the back of the two cars, gradually disappearing from his view.

Once he could no longer see the two cars, he sighed and massaged his temple.

"Why do I have a feeling that this case is not as simple as it sounds?"

His last word fell, and he took another breath. Pushing aside any unpleasant feelings building up inside him, he turns around to give further instructions to the rest of his team and firefighters.

By the time the fire was put out, Lu Tian and Xu Long's car pulled up to a bungalow. As the boss and assistant exited their vehicles, Ye Zhongwei was already outside waiting for him.

Clothed in his pajamas and a coat, he walks over to Lu Tian. He pursed his lips, ignoring his messy bedhead.

"Lu Tian, you better have a good reason for waking me up during my beauty sleep. I have a lot of patients to see tomorrow."

Lu Tian glances at his friend as he calmly closes the door to his car. He doesn't answer right away but walks to his assistant's car.

"I need you to give them medical treatment."

Hearing this, Ye Zhongwei grew curious. He has been friends with Lu Tian for a very long time, and there was only one time that the aloof man asked him to do medical treatment on someone.

Other than Han Yue Ling, who could it be?

He walks over to Xu Long's car and narrows his eyes. He looked inside the back seat, and he was dumbfounded.

Qin Jun and Kira were sitting generally in the back of Xu Long's car. However, Song Jing Li, on the other hand, was laid on top of the two men's laps.

His eyes blinked slowly before turning to look at the boss and assistant.

"You know… As a medical professional, if you move someone carelessly, you might cause more injuries to their injuries."

Lu Tian stares emotionlessly at his friend, then turns to the right to look at his assistant.

Xu Long felt a sudden chill upon noticing his boss's dark eyes from the corner of his eyes. He wanted to say it was his boss's idea to put the three men in his car, but he could only sigh, thinking about how careless it was to place them in that position.

"What else was I supposed to do? It's not like they're light. Having to carry three men is a struggle. I did what I could only. Besides, I already checked their condition before coming here. They're just unconscious due to exhaustion. I mean, one of them does have a wound, but it's not that fatal."

Ye Zhongwei listens to the assistant and lightly shakes his head. No one will ever know whether it was out of ridicule or towards Xu Long's carelessness.

He takes three steps to stand in front of the car and checks each person's pulse. Finding that their pulses were stable and their injuries minor, he sighed in relief.

"Alright, let's move them inside. They can stay in the guest room until they wake up."

He reaches for Song Jing Li but pauses to look back at the other two men.

"What are you guys waiting for? Help me bring the other two inside?"

Lu Tian looks at his friend and then at his wristwatch.

"Can't. The thought of my wife sleeping alone on our bed is bad for my health."

He says no more and makes his way to his car. It was true that his wife was waiting for him. If he stays any longer, it will only make her worry.

Reaching his car, he looks back at his assistant and gives an order before leaving.

"Notify me when they gain consciousness."

As Lu Tian's car sped away, he was unaware of Ye Zhongwei's baffled expression. His only thought was to go home and have his beloved wife in his arms.
