Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 712 A little too much

Chapter 712 A little too much

In the distance not too far from Uncle Nuo's food stall, Tao Meng, and his men along with Ling Ni arrived at their parked cars. Xiao's anger did not subdue at all. He stops next to the pa.s.senger side of the first car and turns to look at his boss.

"I don't understand. Why did we have to run away like cowards? We were all carrying guns. We could have just put a bullet inside their head."

Tao Meng was helping Ling Ni inside the back seat of the first car. When he heard his subordinate's words, he closes the door and stretches his hand to grabs the skinny man.

His palm locks around Xiao's throat and he slams the man against the car.

"You dare to call me a coward?!"

His bloodshot eyes glare viciously at Xiao and he leans closer until the s.p.a.ce between their faces were only inches apart.

"You should be thanking those men back there for not blowing your head."

He growls each word with a graveness that sent a s.h.i.+ver down Xiao's spine. He (Xiao) was so afraid but inhales a deep breath and stares straight at his boss.

"T-They're n.o.bodies. They were only acting that way because the Mad Reaper was there. We could have easily taken him out and clean up the mess without anyone knowing."

Tao Meng chuckles when he heard this. It was like Xiao's words had hit the jackpot of correctness. However, seconds into his laugh, his grip on the man's neck tightens.

"They're n.o.bodies?"

He leans an inch closer with sinister in his eyes.

"Those 'n.o.bodies' were able to knock you down with one punch. Don't forget, those 'n.o.bodies' also made you drop your gun with a tiny needle."

Another chuckle escapes after his words, but this time, it was one full of sarcasm.

"If I didn't stop you from making a mistake, those 'n.o.bodies' would have collected your fate before you could even remember to blink."

He ruthlessly let's go of Xiao's neck and pulls the back door open. He doesn't care about his cold att.i.tude towards the man and gets inside the car.

"Make another mistake and you won't be breathing the air in this world."

Xiao stood still outside the car. His breathing turned rapid as legs grew weak and were barely able to hold him up. He swore, it felt like his boss was not going to hesitate to strangle him to death.

However, it wasn't his boss that shook him this way. It was the one word the man had said.

Fate.

The one word that sends fear upon those in the underworld. It was the word that is only used when involving the notorious devil gang that left the underworld.

He inhales a deep breath that caused his body to tremble. He opens the door and enters, but the moment he sat down, his eyes flash murderously.

He has never witnessed anyone from Fate act in public, so it must be a rumor only.

With this thought, a plan surface in his mind.

When he went with Tao Meng to the meeting last time, he remembers that the foundation of Fate was practically abandoned with an old man watching over the place.

He will burn that place to the ground and return the shame Fate had inflicted upon him.

-

Unaware of the situation that had fallen on his wife, Lu Tian's white Ashton Martin pulls up to the driveway of the beautiful house he shares with his wife. He parks the car and shut the engine off then steps out.

With the help of the little light from the moon above, he scans for his wife's car. However, he purses his lip when he didn't any other car but his own.

"Is she not home yet?"

After he left the place his friends had called him to go to, the three of them decided to go to the rooftop restaurant at the Rosewood Hotel for a few drinks.

He thought that by the time he returns home, she would be home too.

However…

"Where could she be?"

His words fell in a low mutter and he looks at the house. All the lights were off making the house look gloomy and unwelcoming.

"I sent her messages, but she didn't respond back."

He spoke to himself and close the car door before walking to the front door.

"Does she not miss me like how I miss her?"

As he unlocks the door and turned the doork.n.o.b, he hears the metal gates behind him creak open.

The door opened ajar, but he stops in his movements. Turning to look at the car, a sense of happiness wash inside him.

However, upon seeing that it was not his wife's car, that happiness deflated like a balloon.

It was a very familiar car as he knew who it belongs to.

Watching the car park near his, he walks over to meet the person. The temperature around him dropped drastically but he doesn't care.

"Ah, Lu Tian."

Liu Shan steps out from the driver's side and sees Lu Tian. He was taken back by surprise but chuckles to the man.

"Where is my wife?"

Seeing the a.s.sistant's figure, Lu Tian didn't waste any time and asks for his wife. She had left to drink with her employees and drover her own car, so why is her a.s.sistant here?

Liu Shan was baffled by the man's aloofness. He chuckles again and takes a few steps to the backseat door.

"Um, about her…"

Opening the door, he reaches inside to help his boss out. As he did this, Lu Tian stops in his steps in front of the car.

Liu Shan places an arm behind Yue Ling's back to help her steady properly and looks at Lu Tian.

"You see, she kind of had a little too much to drink tonight."

Each word fell he spoke fell with a chuckle but the more he spoke, he felt it was getting difficult. When he saw a better view of Lu Tian's expression with the help of his car headlights, his feet were rooted to the ground.

He swore the aloof man was giving him that look from the time they first met outside the hallway of Jade Condos.

His throat bobs with difficulty and he sobs inside.

'Buddha, I asked you to be with me. Why did you abandon me like his? Look at the King of Jealousy's face. He is glaring at me like a fierce tiger ready to rip me into pieces.'
