Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 573 she goes by the name



Inside the elevator, the ride up was as quiet as no one else existed in the world. The only sound was the low volume of music playing. The only other sound aside from the music was the faint beep of the passing floor levels as the elevator continues upward.

It didn't take long before the elevator soon comes to a stop. Zhao Ya'Er did not ask who's place they were going to, but when she subconsciously glance at the floor level they had arrived, she inhales a gasp.

"This… Why did we stop at the 15th floor? Are we going to my cousin's penthouse?"

Hearing her trembling words, Yue Ling sighs inside. How could she have forgotten that Lu Tian also lived here before moving in with her.

"We're not going there."

She smiles reassuringly to Zhao Ya'Er and held the woman's hand as she walks out of the elevator. She could see her friend turn pale as they near the door of Lu Tian's penthouse, but once they walked past it, colors returned to Zhao Ya'Er.

"I made some arrangements for you to stay here."

Yue Ling spoke as both individuals stop in front of the second door to the left. She unlocks the door with the gold key and turn the handle to push open the door.

Just as she did this, the motion sensor lights inside quickly switches on and brightens up the entire place. All the blinds had not been drawn so before their arrival, the penthouse was engulfed in total darkness.

The scene in front of Yue Ling made many memories flood back to her. However, she turns to look at Zhao Ya'Er and she sighs a smile.

"I promise, you will be safe here."

Hearing her words, Zhao Ya'Er's eyes tremble as an unexplainable feeling rises inside her. It is true that when she thought she was going to stay her cousin's penthouse, she was scared. However, seeing Yue Ling's smile full of reassurance like a place of safe haven, she didn't care where she will be staying.

Anywhere was better than seeing Wei Hongyi again.

Inhaling a deep breath, she nods her head and takes a step forward as she enters the penthouse.

Yue Ling was relieved that Zhao Ya'Er was a little better now, she enters after the woman and closed the door.

"Take this. I asked Manager Luo to prepare a change of clothes for you."

When they left Zhao Ya'Er's house, they didn't grab any extra clothes, so she also requested for the old man to prepare a change of clothes. She was thankful that he didn't ask for further questions and just said okay.

Staring at the bag, Zhao Ya'Er turned into an obedient child and reach her hand to take it. Holding it with both her hands, she turns for the bathroom to change.

In another part of Imperial, Lu Tian had finished his second meeting and was now in his office. He stood like a mighty figure in front of the floor to ceiling window. His arms folded in from of his chest as his dark eyes stare down at the busy street below.

His thoughts at this moment are unreadable as a knock suddenly sounds and like every other time, the door opens.

"Boss."

Xu Long spoke as he enters the room. His eyes search for the aloof man and he couldn't help but swallow a hard gulp. At the same time, his hands tightly curls around the stack of documents he was holding.

"Report."

Hearing the man's deep and cold voice, Xu Long takes two steps inside the room. He closes the door then walks over to the coffee table in room and place the documents in his hands down.

"This is everything I was able to find about 'that' person."

Lu Tian turns away from the window and stares at the stack of documents on the table. His expression did not once change from its usual indifference as he walks over to the table.

He sits down on one of the dark color couches and picks up the first document. His eyes scans through the report printed in detail then moves on to the next one.

When he flips to the last page of the second set of documents, what came to his view was an attached photo.

His brows slightly furrow together, and he purse his lips.

It was a photo of a man with long blonde hair that cover half of his face. However, he wasn't alone. His right arm was placed over a woman's shoulder with brown hair.

The only thing was, only the man's face can be seen while the woman's back was turned to the camera.

Lu Tian didn't bother with the woman as his eyes remained on the man. He faintly scoffs a sarcastic chuckle and his voice sounds.

"Choi Li Sun."

Even though he has been preoccupied with other matters, he didn't forget to have his men keep eyes on Choi Li Sun. After all, the man is the reason for the yearly meeting between Imperial and City Z.

One should know that Choi Li Sun is a notorious leader in the underworld, who is wanted not only in Imperial and City Z, but also around the world.

Setting the documents down, he reach for the only folder his assistant had brought in. Opening it, he arch a brow as everything inside consisted of only photos captured from a distance.

He scans through the pictures like how he did with the documents. In each photo captured, it was of Choi Li Sun and others, but most of the photos contained the man with the brown hair woman. However, not a single photo captured the woman's face.

"The only information I found about the woman is that she goes by the name Hua."

Standing at the side, Xu Long finally spoke as he waited for his boss to finish looking at the report. He stood with both his hands behind his back like a soldier, but his expression held slight look of confusion.

"From what our resources is able to gather, Choi Li Sun often meets with this woman. However, not a single person was able to capture her face. It was like they are aware of us and knew to hide her."

His words fell and he thought back to when he hacked the CCTVs in Imperial to look for Choi Li Sun. He was able to find the man and the woman name Hua exit a nightclub, but no matter how many cameras he hacked, none of them picked up the woman's face.

It was like Choi Li Sun didn't want anyone to know who the woman is.

Thinking this, he looks at the documents then to his boss.

"Could this be the person Chief Kim mentioned during the meeting? The person who is helping Choi Li Sun hide in Imperial."
