Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 120 Let’s go

————

Arriving at De L’amour, when Yue Ling walked inside her office, Liu Shan was already waiting for her.

"Boss! What happened? You even called Lin Hui to come here too?!"

Yue Ling looks at Liu Shan, then she walks over to one of the couches in her office.

"Jingxu is missing."

She then sits down and looks at the other man in the room. He was older than Yue Ling by a year, however the black Moto jacket he wore made him look extremely young. Not only his clothes, but the pretty and flawless features on his face did too.

"Have you found him?"

"Almost. It seems like someone else is trying to hack into the cctvs set up in the streets of Imperial.

However, I set up a code, they need to break it first to get in."

Lin Hui did not look up at his boss. As he spoke, his fingers continue to dance with the keyboard.

"However, it’s not one person, but two. I don’t know if they’re together, but from what I saw, they’re using two different IP addresses."

Liu Shan walks over and sits down next to Lin Hui. He glance at the laptop, then he looks at his boss.

"Boss, how do you know Jingxu is missing?"

"Housekeeper Hu."

"Ohh....."

Liu Shan nods his head. If Yue Ling has said someone else, he would still have his doubts, but Housekeeper Hu is a trusty subordinate of Old man Ji. Since he called then something serious must have happened.

"Found it!!"

Lin Hui exclaims. He place the laptop on the coffee table and turn it to face Yue Ling. Reaching forward, he taps a button.

*beep*beep*beep*

Three video screens pop up on the laptop in a neat order. Lin Hui points to the first video and starts explaining.

"The first video, Jingxu just came out of Timeless Mall." Then he points to the second screen, "A few minutes after he came out, he bumps into a bunch of dimwits."

From the side, Liu Shan frowns at the videos. In the video, Jingxu was just walking amongst the crown in the streets.... until he sees something that made him shout and runs towards a dark alley.

Lin Hui continues to explain each video from his opinion.

"This one is the third video. It’s quite dark, but because it was in broad daylight, everything is still quite clear."

Yue Ling did not say a word except listen. After watching the videos, it seems Jingxu wasn’t kidnap for threat. He was taken because he was a witness.

"Can you clear their faces?"

"I can try."

Lin Hui then taps on the keyboard. After adjusting the video quality, everything comes into clear view.

Rewatching the videos from start to end, Yue Ling’s beautiful expression turned uglier by the second.

Jingxu was out shopping at Timeless Mall, when he left, he witnessed a man getting beat up by a bunch of hooligans. Yue Ling knows the type of person Jingxu is, even if he is weak, he will still lend a helping hand.

In the last video, Jingxu and the man he tried to help were both beaten up until they passed out. Following that, a black van pulls up and they were dragged away.

Just when the hooligans shove the man Jingxu tried to save into the van, the camera was able to capture a small fragment of his face.

"Haaaaaaaaa—-!"

Liu Shan gasped in shock and his eyes widen to its maximum. Pointing to the laptop, he stutters.

"T-t-t-tttthhhh—-ttthat’s...."

Lin Hui frowns at Liu Shan. He’s never seen the man, but Liu Shan has? When?

Tilting his head, he looks at his boss for an answer, however.... when his eyes met her bluish green eyes, he swore, they had turned black.

Yue Ling: "Locate the van."

Lin Hui: "I did. It’s—"

Yue Ling: "Let’s go."

Not wanting to waste time, Yue Ling stood from her seat and walks out of her office. However, before she could, her phone rings.

Both Liu Shan and Lin Hui turn their heads in her direction. Who knows what that call can be about.

Oblivious to her two subordinates, Yue Ling looks down at her phone, but she frowns.

"Hello?"

["Han Yue Ling."]

From the other line was a woman’s soft voice. Yue Ling knew this voice very well and the reason for this call. Her lips curl upwards and she decides to play along.

"Zhi Yilan."

["Hahah, I knew you wouldn’t forget about me!"]

"What can I help you with?"

["Ahem. I called because I know who’s blocking my hacker from accessing the cctvs in Imperial."]

"Your point is?"

Yue Ling didn’t feel like playing along anymore. She was never one who likes to beat around the bush.

["Yue Ling, as your friend, please don’t get involve. We have everything under control and we already have someone on the case. You just arrived in Imperial, you wouldn’t—"

"Jingxu is involved."

["..."]

"Detective Zhi, you can handle this matter in your own way, as I to mine."

["Yue Ling, you cant—"] *beep*

Yue Ling ends the call without letting Zhi Yilan finish. She was running out of time... no, Jingxu was running out of time.

Any minute lost can be a life at lost.

"Boss, are you—"

Yue Ling glance at Liu Shan, her expression indifferent and murderous. She knows what he’s thinking. Even if she doesn’t want to get involve, Jingxu was taken.

Remembering how those hooligans beat up Jingxu, the raging devil inside Yue Ling rises. Those who lay a finger on her loved ones must pay the price.

"Let’s go."

She strides out of her office with Liu Shan and Lin Hui quickly following behind her.

As they walk to the parking lot, Lin Hui was very curious as to who the man Jingxu tried to save was. He leans closer to Liu Shan and whispers,

"Shan, who’s the guy? How do you know him and I don’t?"

Hearing the question, Liu Shan rolls his eyes at Lin Hui then his expression turns serious.

"His name is Ting, an employee at Jade Condos."
