Unexpected Second Chance at Love

As Lin Hui and Xu Long walked into the living room, both men kept their eyes on the white fluff ball sitting down next to Yue Ling. They cannot let that cute and adorable face trick them again.

"Liu Shan, what happened to your head?"

Yue Ling worriedly asks when she saw Liu Shan come into the living room. When he left the house, he only had a bandage on the side of his neck. Now he came back with his head wrapped in a gauze and the blood is almost soaking through.

"We met Gao Jie at Glory."

Liu Shan truthfully answers as he sits down on the couch next to Lian Ni Sang. Before, he didn't feel any pain, but now, he would be lying if he feels fine.

Hearing the mention of the obese man's name, Yue Ling's eyes dimmed. To think that disgusting pig actually dared to lay a finger on her people.

Looking at the four men, she part her lips to speak, "What happened?"

Lin Hui sat down on the floor when he heard his boss's question. He quickly explains in full detail about what had happened to them from start to end.

Once he finished, Xu Long hands the microchip Yuanyuan had given him to his boss.

"This is the voice recording between Steelhead and Gao Jie. The one with Chu Li Xiang is also inside."

Lu Tian takes the microchip and walks over to his wife. As he sat down, Yue Ling glance at the microchip then back to the four men.

She didn't say a word, but the look in her eyes was enough to indicate them to continue their report.

Liu Shan looks over to Qi Li and gesture with his head. "Tell boss what you told us."

Qi Li was standing at the side. When Liu Shan gave him que, he did not hide anything and went into full details.

"I saw Ji Chu Hua."

When Liu Shan and the others had left Glory, he stayed behind for a few minutes to make sure that neither of Steelhead nor Gao Jie's men followed them.

Once he confirmed that they weren't being followed, he decided to leave too.

As he left the bar area, he saw a woman with brown hair walk out from the hallway that led to the private rooms in the back of Glory. She wasn't alone but with a man that looked to be a bodyguard.

Even though she was quite far away from him, he recognized her right away.

Seeing that she was leaving at the same time as him, he took the chance to follow her since she has never seen him before.

Once they got outside, her car was already waiting for her in the front. However, before she got inside, she told the man that she will contact him again.

Finished explaining, he looks at Yue Ling with a serious expression.

"That was all she said. The man wasn't her bodyguard but only someone escorting her to her car."

Recalling the man's facial features, his brows slightly furrow.

"I've never seen him before, but he definitely looks like someone from the underworld."

Yue Ling nod her head in understanding. She isn't surprise to hear that Ji Chu Hua associated herself with the underworld, but why?

What benefit will she gain from the people in the underworld?

Quickly as she thought this, she was able to put the pieces together.

Her grandfather has been persuading her to take over Ji Corps despite knowing that she already has to deal with De L'amour, An Qing and H International.

If she is correct, Ji Jingxu is still young, so it will be a while before he can take over the company. Thus, the other person suitable to be the next chairman is Ji Chu Hua.

However, after the reveal of her (Yue Ling) identity on Grandfather Ji's birthday, Ji Chu Hua's position has become unstable.

It is also likely that the people who were supporting her are slowly backing out and choosing another side.

Her side, since she is the real granddaughter of Grandfather Ji and not Ji Chu Hua.

Lost in her thoughts, her lip slightly purse and she continues to think to herself.

Can this be the reason why her grandfather has been pushing her to take over Ji Corps?

"What is it?"

Lu Tian couldn't help but question when he saw that she was deep in thoughts. He noticed that each time she immerse in her thoughts, he can never read what she is possibly thinking about.

Which sometimes makes him worry, because he has always been able to read others until her.

The man's deep voice brought Yue Ling to her senses. She looks up and was met with everyone's attention on her.

Her eyes blinked and she clears her throat. Was she really that deep in thought?

Clearing her throat again, she leans back on the couch and cross her arms over her chest. Since the people in this room are those she wholeheartedly trusts, she won't hide anything from them.

"This is just my intuition, but if my guess is correct, Ji Chu Hua probably wants me dead."

Hearing her sudden words, Lu Tian's eyes darkened. Are people not afraid of him anymore or do they see him as someone who had died? Why is there so many people out to get his wife's life?

He really needs to give these people a piece of his wrath for crossing a line that shouldn't be crossed.

"Boss, are you sure?"

Sitting next on the couch across from Yue Ling, Lian Ni Shang worriedly asks. She already saw Yue Ling's life almost taken away, she cannot bare to see it happen again, let alone think about it.

Looking at the woman whose expression is usually straight now replace with worried, Yue Ling faintly smiles.

"It's only an intuition."

Her bluish green eyes looks at each person in the room. Seeing their expression full of worry for her, she couldn't help but sigh inside.

"You all know that Jingxu is still young, so he is not a big threat to Ji Chu Hua's position a Ji Corps. However, now that I am in her way, there's a possible chance that her position isn't so stable anymore."

Listening to her words, Lin Hui's eyes slightly shook, "You mean…"

Yue Ling nods her head once as her voice sounds again, "Only when I'm out of the picture will she be Ji Corps' next chairman."

Everyone's eyes darkened as they understood. They know that Yue Ling is only saying it is her guess, so they won't be worried. However, they also know that her guess is correct.

Only the people who attended Grandfather Ji's birthday knows about Yue Ling's real identity, so if Ji Chu Hua hires a hitman to kill Yue Ling, it will look like she committed suicide, or some kind of tragedy befall her.

In order to keep her (Ji Chu Hua) position, she will go so low as to kill someone.

Thinking this, Liu Shan sneers murderously before he scoffs in disgust.

"Ji Chu Hua is as replusive as Ning Mei."
