Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Inside the private ward, Grandfather Ji held his granddaughter’s hand as he stares at the empty seat on the other side of the bed.

After Lu Tian left to discuss some things with his subordinates, the boy had returned, but only for a few minutes. He asked Grandfather Ji to look after Yue Ling until he comes back.

Where he left to, he did not say.

However, Grandfather Ji knows that it must have something to do with the person who mobilized the incident that happened.

He sounds a sniffle as he squeezes Yue Ling’s hand a little. Glancing at her sleeping face, he trembles a smile.

"Ah Ling..."

His free hand stretch forward to gently stroke her head, but he was very careful as her head was still wrapped with a gauze.

"I hope that when you wake up, you will remain strong. Lu boy is nearing a dead end... I hope that the both of you will continue to support each other through this crisis."

Unable to hold the heartbreak no longer, a great tremor overtook him. He continues to stroke her head in a disheveled heap as his grief pour out in a flood of uncontrollable tears.

"Yeye is sorry... Yeye never wanted anything like this to befall you... Yeye only wanted you to be happy..."

Tears of grief and pain ran down his cheeks as he mumbles incoherent words through his weeping.

"My dear Ah Ling... This is too unfair... You are but a good person, why must you suffer like this... Why must you and Lu Tian suffer like this?"

When he learned the news about having a grandchild, he was thrilled about the news. Knowing that his granddaughter won’t be alone after he leaves, he was more than happy.

But why... Why is life so unfair to his granddaughter? Hasn’t she suffered enough already?

The heavens above is too cruel. Was it too much to ask for his granddaughter to be happy? Didn’t they take enough of the people she loves? If the heavens wanted to take someone, they could have taken him? He is old and already nearing his end, why did they have to take the baby?

Like the heavens above heard Grandfather Ji’s thoughts, the sky turned darker as thunder rumble with flashes of lightning.

It was as if they regretted their decision, but all was too late for regret. Time cannot turn back because what is done already happened.

With the sudden intense change of weather, rain poured heavily down onto Imperial.

While the people scatter away to find some king of shelter to wait for the rain to subdue, two black cars pulls up in front of Black Dragon.

The doors flung open with the sound of thunder rumbling in the sky. Five men in total stepped out and arouse the attention of those in Retro.

Leading the group, Lu Tian did not care about the sudden attention directed at them. Taking a step forward, he strides towards Black Dragon.

Holding an umbrella over his boss, Xu Long walked at his side while Lin Hui, Yiqing and Qi Li followed behind.

Each man blessed with their own good looks, but the aura around them was so chilling that it makes those around can’t help but shiver in fear.

Standing in front of the entrance were the same two bulky men that met Yiqing. When they saw Lu Tian, they did not ask questions but nod their head in greeting.

"Mr. Lu, our boss has been waiting for your arrival."

The one to speak first was the man standing on the left. He and his brother takes a step to the side as they pull open the double doors.

Lu Tian showed no signs of politeness to the two as he strides forward. For what happened to his wife and child, if Black Dragon so little as try and do anything, he will not show any mercy.

Watching the business king enter the building, the two bulky men closes the door. However, to their surprise, Yiqing did not follow his boss.

The man leisurely stood outside the door. He smiles a smile that made one cringe as his smile did not reach his eyes.

"Boys, I will be keeping you both company."

The two bulky men couldn’t help but frown, but Yiqing did not care. He stood between them and cross his arms over his chest. His eyes glance at the building around and very faint and undetectable sneer curls on his lip.

Before coming here, he was ordered to guard outside the door.

Chu Qiang is a leader in the underworld who wishes to follow justice more than other gang leaders, but despite him being that way, Chu Li Xiang is still his brother.

They cannot let their guard down in case Chu Qiang tries to protect his brother.

Thus, he (Yiqing) is to keep a close eye outside. After all, he, himself is capable to handling a bunch of lowly thugs.

Inside Black Dragon, Lu Tian and the other three men were led to an elevator. As they walked pass the members of Black Dragon, the murderous looks thrown at them makes one tremble in fear, but not for the four newly arrived men.

As their figures disappear inside an elevator, an uproar arises.

"Why is Lu Tian here? Boss said that we won’t be open for business. What was so serious that even Lu Tian is involved?"

"Did you see the three men with Lu Tian. Hahah, I thought he is a coldblooded man, but his lackeys are like women."

"Shut up you idiot. Boss always said not to put your guard down. Especially when it comes to that man’s people. They may look weak to you, but they are his people for a reason."

The members of Black Dragon were all curious about Lu Tian’s purpose of being here. Their boss only gave them order to close the nightclub, but why?

However, knowing that Lu Tian is here, some already had an idea. The only time Lu Tian ever appears in Retro is when something severe has happened in Imperial and from the looks of it, Black Dragon is part of it.

On the highest floor of Black Dragon, Chu Qiang couldn’t stay still. He paced back and forth inside his office as he ponder in thoughts.

Lu Tian had not gotten involve with Black Dragon for a while now. The people of Black Dragon have also been out of trouble, so what could his stupid brother possibly do to trigger the sleeping dragon?

*knock knock

A knocks interrupts Chu Qiang’s thoughts. His head turn to the door as it slowly creaks open and an elderly man enters before bowing.

"Mr. Lu is here."
