Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Entering the garage that house all of Yue Ling’s auto babies, the sensor lights automatically turns on and illuminates a bright light inside the place.

All her vehicles parked nicely in neat rows. However, before going over to them, she walks towards one of the walls that had multiple rows of shelves.

She picks up a black backpack and puts it on before picking up a black full-face helmet that had a matte finishing touch.

Holding the helmet in one arm, she turns back to look at the other three men. Her other hand slightly raise in gesture to the shelves now behind her.

"Grab a backpack and pick whichever one you want."

Not needing to be told a second time, Lin Hui clasps his palms together and rubs them together as he snickers like an evil mastermind. He stares at the many rows of motorcycle helmets like a greedy old man who had finally found gold.

"Don’t mind if I do."

He picks up a backpack then a red and black helmet. Seconds after him, Liu Shan did the same, but his helmet of choice was white.

Unlike the two men, Nie Chen thought hard about which helmet he wanted as it needed to look good with his outfit. After a long minute, he comes to a decision and grabs a white helmet with a few touches of pink.

Yue Ling stood next to a black Ninja H2R and place the helmet over her head. She swings her right leg over the motorcycle and sits down on the seat.

At the same time, the other three men did not hesitate to do the same. Liu Shan sits on a white Ninja H2R as Lin Hui and Nie Chen decides on the Suzuki Hayabusa, but one in red and the other white.

Like a practiced scene, the four motorcycles start up and the headlights turn on. The loud sound of engines revving echoes inside as the garage door opens and one by one, they ride out under the starry night sky.

Yue Ling: "See you boys at the target location."

Liu Shan: "Don’t cry when you guys lose to this great one."

Lin Hui: "Hah! Keep dreaming!"

Nie Chen: "Just like old times."

The night sky continued to clear of any clouds and glistens over Imperial with stars. Underneath the sky, on the street of Imperial, four motorcycles rev in motion.

Quickly as the race started, it soon came to end as they reach their destination. In a neat order, all four motorcycles enters an empty 3-story parking lot that is still under construction.

The engines shuts off with the headlights. It was dark, but with the moon shining down to them, it gave enough light for them to see where to step.

Each person removes their helmet and gets down from the motorcycle.

"I didn’t win, but I still got here second."

Lin Hui spoke as he place his helmet on the seat part of his motorcycle. His chest stuck out like a mighty man. He thought he was going to arrive first, but he had forgotten that he was racing Yue Ling.

Although he and Qi Li are the only two in the team who prefers to ride motorcycles, neither can beat Yue Ling. That is because, she is the person who taught them the tricks to be a good driver.

He turns his head to the left and looks at his boss. A faint smile curls on his lip as he thought about the short race. Even though she had not driven a motorcycle in a while, she is still as badass as ever.

From the other side, Liu Shan rolled his eyes at the man. Deciding not to say anything, he place his helmet down and walks over to his boss.

Parked next to the assistant, Nie Chen didn’t want to, but unable to hold himself back, he laughs loudly at Lin Hui’s confident words.

"Bro, second or not, you still lost. Just accept it."

Lin Hui scoffs in disbelief. He ignores the man with silky long hair and stomps his foot to join Yue Ling and Liu Shan.

"So, what’s the plan?"

While Lin Hui and Nie Chen were having a very short interaction, Liu Shan had already set up his computer equipment. Everything he needed was inside the backpack Yue Ling had them grab.

He wasn’t surprised by this as she is always prepared in case of unexpected missions like the one they are currently doing.

"I’m hacking into the surveillances."

He answers without turning to look at his comrade. His eyes lock on the screen filled with codes and his fingers continue to dance over each key.

Positioned not too far from the assistant, Yue Ling was on one knee with her backpack opened in front of her. She place a small earpiece in her ear then takes out a weapon case. Opening it, she takes out the Glock 26. Attaching the silencer onto the muzzle, she rack the slide and aims it at the wall like she was going shoot her target.

"Get ready. Once Shan is done, we’re moving in."

Hearing her words, both Lin Hui and Nie Chen nods their head in understanding. Each person quickly removes their backpack and set it on the ground.

Doing the same thing as Yue Ling, they put on the earpiece then retrieves the same pistol as the one she has.

"We’re in."

Liu Shan pronounce as he presses the enter key on the keyboard. The black screen that once had hundreds of codes quickly changes to multiple surveillance footages.

Yue Ling secures a holster around one of her thighs and place her gun on the holder. She walks over to her assistant and her eyes scans each ongoing footage.

"Let’s go."

As her words fell, she walks away in the direction of the stairwell to exit the parking lot. Lin Hui and Nie Chen puts their guns away and leisurely follows in pursuit leaving behind Liu Shan alone in the dark parking lot.

It didn’t take long before they reached the first floor. All three figures stood at the same level as the rest of Imperial, but no one could see them as the darkness hid them well.

Yue Ling tilt her head back and stares up at the building that was next to them. It was a luxurious high-rise apartment tower. The place glistened like diamonds under the night sky. However, compare to Jade Condos, this building was by far inferior.

"Move to your positions."

She calmly spoke as she reach inside her coat pocket. Taking out a black cloth mask, she puts it on to cover the lower half of her face.

As she walks towards the tall luxurious building, Lin Hui and Nie Chen also puts on their mask. However, neither follows after her but splits in opposite direction.
