12.34% Unexpected Second Chance at Love / Chapter 118: No one did anything

Chapter 118: No one did anything

———

Inside the study room of the Lu Household, Lu Tian sat with his master supreme poker face.

He had left Jade Condos to come here because his old man had said it was very important.

And indeed, it was important.

"Will you be able to get your team and solve this?"

Lu Tian leans leisurely against the chair. He cross his arms over his chest and ponder at his father's questions.

Will he be able to solve it?

Did his old man forget who he was asking the question to? When was there ever anything he, Lu Tian could not do?

"How long?"

"They've given you 24 hours."

Hearing this, Lu Tian nod his head, then he looks at the current time; 3:37pm.

It seems he won't be able to keep his words when he left Jade Condos... This was something serious that he needs to do...

Lu Tian looks at his father, then he stands up, "I'll have this finish within 7 hours."

Walking out of the study room, he didn't see the stunned expression on Old Lu's face.

Old Lu was very shocked, this was a serious matter and his son said he'd get it done in 7 hours? Good lord, what does his son have in mind?!

Outside, Lu Tian heads to his car and calls Xu Long.

["Xu Long! Ready for duty!"]

"Commence Wolf Team."

["Sir yes sir!!"]

Ending the call, Lu Tian gets into his car and drives away into the distance. He needs to get this problem solved so he can return to her.

She was waiting for him.

Stepping on the accelerator, his car vrooms faster into his next designated place.

As the sun slowly sets, emitting rays of gold and orange lights onto Imperial, Liu Shan's black BMW moves amongst the streets.

Yue Ling sat in the rear seat, while Liu Shan drove and Lin Hui sat in the passenger seat.

"What have you found on Ting?"

"Boss, the kid is very normal. Like extremely normal. He has no records of any arrest or has ever broke law. However, from the informations I just gathered, a few days ago, Ting's father was tricked by some men into borrowing money to pay for Ting's college fees. Now, those people want the money back."

Yue Ling pursed her lips, Ting was a very sweet boy who works at Jade Condos. She knew about his life's struggle from their little chat the other day... so it seems, he lied to her. He wasn't working more shifts to pay for his college tuition, but for the debt his father created....

Not only were innocent people involve, even Jingxu was pulled in. Thinking of how innocent lives were at stake, Yue Ling's eyes darken more than they already were.

"What else?"

"Ting made a report at the police station yesterday.

It seems his parents are missing. I hacked into all his accounts, this morning he received an email from an unknown IP address threatening him to find 10 billion yuan or he'll be collecting his parents bodies to bury."

Yue Ling frown hearing Lin Hui's report. If Ting went to the police to claim a missing persons case, how did things end up like this?

"What did the police say?"

"I'm not sure. Camera footages shows he went to the police station yesterday and this morning, but nothing happened. No one did anything."

Yue Ling sneers at her subordinate's words, "Seems like I need to have a talk with Yeye about the police force in Imperial."

Turning to look out the window, she leans back on the seat, "Continue."

She knows Lin Hui has more to report. His hacking skills are on pair with Liu Shan's.

Put them together in a room full of computer and they can definitely dominate the computer world. Hacking to them was like eating a piece of cake.

In the passenger seat, Lin Hui struggles a hard gulp.

"B-Boss... the people who took Jingxu and Ting is the Ghost Gang."

Hearing the name, Yue Ling eyes dimmed to the blackest of black.

She had left that cold and dark world three years ago after Shin passed away. To think these people actually have the courage to touch her people.

"Did they think, just because I'm no longer connected to that world, I won't know what goes around?"

Both Liu Shan and Lin Hui shiver in cold sweat at Yue Ling's sinister cold voice.

Liu Shan has been with Yue Ling longer than Lin Hui, but Lin Hui has been around long enough to know Yue Ling's temper.

When she's nice, she can be the sweetest person one will ever know, but once you cross her line, that's like giving her the gun to shoot you.

Once she says she'll do something, it'll happen. She never goes back on her words.

Yue Ling: "Lin Hui, have you locate their whereabouts?"

Lin Hui: "I have. They're just outside of Imperial. Boss should we commence Alpha Team?"

Yue Ling: "No need. Ghost Gang already entered the devil's lair. For that, I will let them meet the devil."

In the front seats, Liu Shan and Lin Hui could not help but pity the Ghost Gang. They may be well known in the underworld for their ruthless ways, but were they on pair with Yue Ling?

Nope. Yue Ling is like the reincarnation of the devil himself.

Chapter 119: Want to know what they said?

———

Outside of Imperial, an abandon warehouse was hidden within the woods as two large mountains stood on each side. Due to business failure, no one pays attention to this warehouse anymore.

With it being out of view, it became the perfect base for underground Ghost Gang.

Inside, two young men were held captive inside a metal room with their wrist tied behind their backs.

"Hey, I'm sorry for dragging you in this mess..."

Ting was really guilty. Earlier, he didn't expect this kid to try and save him. Everyone else just watched and walked by, but this kid didn't. In the end, they were both taken away...

Jingxu looks at Ting. He did regret helping, but if he didn't, he wouldn't be the Ji Jingxu his grandfather and sister raised him to be.

"It's alright. Why were they after you?"

Hearing the question, Ting hits the back of his head gently against the cold metal wall.

"My father was scammed by these people. Now, they want a large figure that my family haven't even seen before..."

Ting close his bruised eyes and continue, "These people took my parents yesterday."

"Why didn't you go to the police?"

Jingxu frown. Wouldn't people go to the police station to make a missing person's report?

"Heh, police?" Ting scoffs in self mockery, "I did. All they said was, my parents probably went out and will be back later. How was I supposed to depend on them after hearing that? This morning, I even went back in to show them an email I received. Want to know what they said?"

Jingxu didn't answer, but his expression was enough to let Ting know, he wanted to know.

"They said, either I get lost or they put me behind bars for scamming cops."

Ting lets outs a sarcastic chuckle for his own stupidity, "So much for being protectors of the law."

"....."

Jingxu didn't know what to say. Looking down at his dirty and messed up self, he looks at Ting.

Ting's face was covered in dried blood and bruises. His condition was far worse than Jingxu's.

*click*

The tightly shut metal door unlocks and it was push open. Both Jingxu and Ting turn to see two masculine men twice their size walk in.

"You two are pretty lucky. The boss wants to see you too."

"Where are my parents?!!"

Ting shouts out as he struggle to stand up with the help of his legs since his hands were tied.

"Shut up! No one said you could speak!"

One of the men punch Ting on the head, quickly knocking him out. He grabs Ting by the collar and drags him out the door.

"You want to be knocked out too?"

The other man smirks at Jingxu. It's been a while since he's killed someone and his hands were itching for it.

Looking at the man, Jingxu clench his fist. He hated being so weak at this moment. He should have listened to his grandfather and strengthen his strength. Cursing inside, he knew his only option was to stay quiet and cooperate.

————

Outside the warehouse, as the Ghost Gang enjoyed their sweet time doing who knows what, they did not notice that one of the mountains around their base has been occupied.

Liu Shan's car parks at the top of the mountain and Yue Ling steps out. Walking to the edge of the cliff, her eyes scanned the premises like an Eagle.

"Boss, What now?"

Liu Shan walks up next to Yue Ling, he crouch down next and looks down the cliff. They were very high up.....

His boss isn't thinking of climbing down right?

"We climb down."

"..."

Liu Shan wanted to punch his mouth. If only he had just kept his mind shut.. ahh!

"Pfff!" Lin Hui chuckles from behind.

Yue Ling looks at Liu Shan then Lin Hui.

"Liu Shan will stay up here. Lin Hui, you will go down with me."

"..."

Lin Hui was dumbfounded. He was hoping he would be the one who stays up here and Liu Shan goes down... ahh!

"Pfffff!!!!!"

Liu Shan laughs the laugh he was trying to hold in. How lucky was he?!!

As if he wanted to send a bullet to the man's head, Lin Hui glares at Liu Shan for having such bad luck.

Moving from the edge of the cliff, Yue Ling walks to the car and gets her zip up hoodie. Putting it on, she looks at at Liu Shan.

"Did you bring the things I asked?"

"I did, they're all in the trunk." He was to the back of the car and opens the trunk.

What greeted them were all sorts of equipments. From weapons to technology, anything you could name for a mission.

Yue Ling reach down and grabs a SIG sauer P226. She ejects the magazine and check the bullets. After putting it back in, she racks the slide.

With a firm hold on the pistol, she aims it out, as if she was aiming it at someone.

Her posture and movements were proof of her professional marksmanship.
