Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 574 How is the situation



Lu Tian listens as he set the folder down. He stares at the documents slightly scattered on the table and ponder in thoughts. Leaning back against the couch, he cross his arms over his chest.

From the report gathered, there is no doubt this woman name Hua is the person hiding Choi Li Sun. However, who could she be?

He stroke his clean chin and glance at his assistant.

"How is the situation on Chief Kim's side?"

Hearing the question, Xu Long rack his brain for a quick moment to remember what he was informed. Without waiting for approval, he walks over to the couch across from his boss and plops down to sit.

"Chief Kim sent word that three of his men have entered Imperial. By law, this is against their jurisdiction and ours, but he request if we can turn a blind eye and cooperate if back up is needed."

He lift his hand to scratch the back of his head and pout his lip.

"He also said his men will not interfere with our side while we search for Choi Li Sun."

The space between Lu Tian's brows crease into three tight lines. He thought about his assistant's report and his frown deepens more.

After a long moment, he finally comes to a decision and spoke.

"Inform Chief Kim. I approve of his request. However, I will need current photos and information of his men."

Xu Long blinked his eyes with an even more confused look on his face. He didn't understand why his boss would approve of such circumstances.

It's a clear confirmation that Choi Li Sun is in now their jurisdiction and by law, it should be them who handles the case. However…

Never able to read his boss's thoughts most of the time, he decides to gather his courage and asks.

"Why the approval? What if—"

"I'll deal with it."

Before Xu Long could finish his words, Lu Tian's deep voice cuts him off. He knows that Xu Long is worried because the approval is coming directly from him. If anything were to go wrong, he would have to take the blame.

However, when has he ever been scared of anything or anyone other than his wife.

Glancing at the wall clock, he decides to end the conversation as there was another meeting before lunch. He stood up from the couch and makes his way to his desk.

"Once the information is in, locate his men. I will personally go and meet them."

His words fell and Xu Long was even more at a loss for all words. However, being Lu Tian's assistants for many years, there are times he is able to understand the man's way of thinking like now.

"Roger that boss."

He gestures a salute and quickly gathers the documents together. Without waiting for a response from the aloof man, he leaves the room as he needed to prepare for the next meeting.

As silence return to the room, Lu Tian sat in his swivel chair. He slightly turns it around to face the window behind his desk that held a panoramic view of Imperial.

The reason he ordered Xu Long to get the information of Chief Kim's men is because he doesn't want to shoot the wrong the person when searching for Choi Li Sun. Plus, it was better they meet as they are after the same person.

His thoughts travel for a long moment before he stood up from the chair. Until the information comes in, he will have to busy himself with the meetings that he has been putting on hold.

While Lu Tian proceed to his next meeting, he was unaware of where his wife is and the situation his cousin had to face.

Zhao Ya'Er had finished cleaning up and changed into the new clothes Yue Ling gave her. She stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom and she felt pity for herself.

The bruise Wei Hongyi had left her was so dark that even if she applied makeup over it, it would do little to hide. Her trembling hand slowly raise, and she gently touches it.

She closes her eyes and her mind couldn't help but think back to the traumatic incident

Wei Hongyi had come to her house and suddenly asked for her hand in marriage. He said he would change and love her better than before, but she knew him better than that. He had said those words to her too many times and failed to keep them.

When she rejected him, he didn't even consider her feelings and hit her right across the face. She had grabbed the closest thing to her which was a vase and she threw it at him.

One thing led to another and before she could even defend herself some more, he had found the baseball bat. It was the same one she had used to defend herself from his last visit.

She remembered him swinging it at her then everything went dark. However, when she opened her eyes again, she was already laying on her bed and he was pinning her from above to keep her from running away.

No matter how much she tried to fight him off, she was weaker than him. She begged him over and over to stop, but he never once listened to her.

It was at that moment when ripped her shirt that she gave up. When she stared at the ceiling of her house, all she thought about was her family and how her love life went so wrong.

When she first met Wei Hongyi, he was the perfect boyfriend and the sweetest person she had ever met. Every day with him was nothing but wonder. However, if she knew that happiness would soon come to an end, she would have never said yes to be his girlfriend.

As he tore the last bit of her shirt off, she prayed to God, to Buddha, to the heavens, she even prayed to the devil for someone to come and help her. She didn't care if it meant exchanging her life, all she wanted was to be saved from this hell hole.

However, no matter how much she prayed, the door that remained shut did not once open.

She finally came to an understanding that she will never escape from Wei Hongyi. The only thing she regretted not doing was telling her family. If she did, she wouldn't be in this situation.

Deciding to let Wei Hongyi have what he had always wanted, she didn't care to fight him off anymore. She just laid there and let him remove her other clothes.

Through her daze, she heard the door open and she thought it was an angel sent down from the heavens above to come take her away from all this pain. She was ready to give up her life and go, but the person sent to save her was breathing the same air as her.

However, when she saw who it was, she could only thank the ones she had prayed to because the angel was none other than Yue Ling.
