Unexpected Second Chance at Love

———

Inside the study room of the Lu Household, Lu Tian sat with his master supreme poker face.

He had left Jade Condos to come here because his old man had said it was very important.

And indeed, it was important.

"Will you be able to get your team and solve this?"

Lu Tian leans leisurely against the chair. He cross his arms over his chest and ponder at his father's questions.

Will he be able to solve it?

Did his old man forget who he was asking the question to? When was there ever anything he, Lu Tian could not do?

"How long?"

"They've given you 24 hours."

Hearing this, Lu Tian nod his head, then he looks at the current time; 3:37pm.

It seems he won't be able to keep his words when he left Jade Condos... This was something serious that he needs to do...

Lu Tian looks at his father, then he stands up, "I'll have this finish within 7 hours."

Walking out of the study room, he didn't see the stunned expression on Old Lu's face.

Old Lu was very shocked, this was a serious matter and his son said he'd get it done in 7 hours? Good lord, what does his son have in mind?!

Outside, Lu Tian heads to his car and calls Xu Long.

["Xu Long! Ready for duty!"]

"Commence Wolf Team."

["Sir yes sir!!"]

Ending the call, Lu Tian gets into his car and drives away into the distance. He needs to get this problem solved so he can return to her.

She was waiting for him.

Stepping on the accelerator, his car vrooms faster into his next designated place.

As the sun slowly sets, emitting rays of gold and orange lights onto Imperial, Liu Shan's black BMW moves amongst the streets.

Yue Ling sat in the rear seat, while Liu Shan drove and Lin Hui sat in the passenger seat.

"What have you found on Ting?"

"Boss, the kid is very normal. Like extremely normal. He has no records of any arrest or has ever broke law. However, from the informations I just gathered, a few days ago, Ting's father was tricked by some men into borrowing money to pay for Ting's college fees. Now, those people want the money back."

Yue Ling pursed her lips, Ting was a very sweet boy who works at Jade Condos. She knew about his life's struggle from their little chat the other day... so it seems, he lied to her. He wasn't working more shifts to pay for his college tuition, but for the debt his father created....

Not only were innocent people involve, even Jingxu was pulled in. Thinking of how innocent lives were at stake, Yue Ling's eyes darken more than they already were.

"What else?"

"Ting made a report at the police station yesterday.

It seems his parents are missing. I hacked into all his accounts, this morning he received an email from an unknown IP address threatening him to find 10 billion yuan or he'll be collecting his parents bodies to bury."

Yue Ling frown hearing Lin Hui's report. If Ting went to the police to claim a missing persons case, how did things end up like this?

"What did the police say?"

"I'm not sure. Camera footages shows he went to the police station yesterday and this morning, but nothing happened. No one did anything."

Yue Ling sneers at her subordinate's words, "Seems like I need to have a talk with Yeye about the police force in Imperial."

Turning to look out the window, she leans back on the seat, "Continue."

She knows Lin Hui has more to report. His hacking skills are on pair with Liu Shan's.

Put them together in a room full of computer and they can definitely dominate the computer world. Hacking to them was like eating a piece of cake.

In the passenger seat, Lin Hui struggles a hard gulp.

"B-Boss... the people who took Jingxu and Ting is the Ghost Gang."

Hearing the name, Yue Ling eyes dimmed to the blackest of black.

She had left that cold and dark world three years ago after Shin passed away. To think these people actually have the courage to touch her people.

"Did they think, just because I'm no longer connected to that world, I won't know what goes around?"

Both Liu Shan and Lin Hui shiver in cold sweat at Yue Ling's sinister cold voice.

Liu Shan has been with Yue Ling longer than Lin Hui, but Lin Hui has been around long enough to know Yue Ling's temper.

When she's nice, she can be the sweetest person one will ever know, but once you cross her line, that's like giving her the gun to shoot you.

Once she says she'll do something, it'll happen. She never goes back on her words.

Yue Ling: "Lin Hui, have you locate their whereabouts?"

Lin Hui: "I have. They're just outside of Imperial. Boss should we commence Alpha Team?"

Yue Ling: "No need. Ghost Gang already entered the devil's lair. For that, I will let them meet the devil."

In the front seats, Liu Shan and Lin Hui could not help but pity the Ghost Gang. They may be well known in the underworld for their ruthless ways, but were they on pair with Yue Ling?

Nope. Yue Ling is like the reincarnation of the devil himself.
