Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 460 enjoy her life

Ju Suo cried as she recounted what happened that night in the same details Jiangyu had told Lu Tian. However, unlike the bulky man, the rest of them only sustained minor injuries.

Her tears continue to pour down her cheeks despite her hands wiping the tears away.

"We’ve failed you boss. We weren’t careful so that wretched man escaped."

She chokes a sob and looks at Yue Ling.

"Because of our failure, you... you..."

Her words stop as she dares not to finish her line. If they had taken proper precautions, the little one will still be with them and none of this tragedy would have happened.

*Thud

Just as Ju Suo was unable to say another word, Gui Tian Lan, Gui Zhongmin and Tang Zhonghui dropped to their knees. The three grown men kowtow to her as each man do not hold back their tears.

Gui Zhongmin: "Forgive us for leaving your side."

Gui Tian Lan: "If I didn’t send Detective Zhi off, I would have been by your side."

Tang Zhonghui: "I am a failure as your subordinate."

As the three men remained on their knees, Lian Ni Shang and Shan Sinan joined them as each person spoke words of apologies for not doing a good job at keeping their boss safe.

Each person blamed themselves for the cause of the little one’s death.

Standing behind the group, Lin Hui takes a step forward and he slowly walks towards Yue Ling. Once he was near the bed, he kneels down and kept his teary eyes at her.

"Boss..."

His fists clench tightly as he fights his tears from escaping his eyes.

"If anyone was to be blame, it is me. I was right there, and I couldn’t protect you."

His head lowers as his tears broke free.

"If anyone is a failure then it is me. I failed you."

Yue Ling did not once say a word as she looks at her most loyal subordinates.

Their tears were one that she never wanted to see. Not because she doesn’t care, but because she never wanted to see them this way.

Blaming themselves for something that no one has control over.

Staring at each person, she could feel the pain they were feeling at this moment.

Lifting her hand, she place it on the top of Lin Hui’s head and she softly spoke to them.

"I never once saw any of you as failures. Each one of you did your best. For what happened, it was something we did not see coming."

"The only failure here is me."

Just as Yue Ling spoke her words, a voice sounds at the door and she looks at the person.

The man was wearing a set of patient clothes like her. He did not style his hair like he usually would. His neck was properly bandage as he stares at her.

Yue Ling felt relieved when she saw him. Losing so many people was already hard enough for her heart to take in. If he was also taken, she would forever live in guilt.

Her lips trembling parts and she calls out to him.

"Shan..."

Liu Shan stood by the door as he stares at his boss. The feeling inside him was by far more dreadful than the people here.

His head lowers as he can’t look her in the eyes anymore.

"I’m sorry. I will put in my resignation letter and live with this guilt my entire life."

He was the driver and if he had turned the car in time, none of this misfortune would have happened. If anyone were to be blame, then it is him. It was his fault.

Never will he forget her voice as she called out his name even when she was injured.

Yue Ling stares at her assistant then to others in the room. She couldn’t help but heave a sigh.

"Is this how you all see things?"

She slowly got up from the bed and walks over to Liu Shan. Out of everyone here, Liu Shan is the one in the most pain.

He was with her when the accident happened, but it was not his fault.

Stopping in front of him, she gives him a faint smile and wrap her arms around him.

"Everything happened for a reason. My child may be gone, but he will forever be in my heart."

Hearing her words, Liu Shan lifts his hands as he hugs her and resting his head on her shoulders, the tears he thought he had already shed pours again.

"I swear to the heavens, I will find Chu Li Xiang. I will make that bastard pay for what he did."

His tears soaked onto her shoulder as Yue Ling sighs inside. Lifting one hand, she gently pats his back and allows him to cry all he wants.

As everyone heard her words, each person couldn’t help but cry along. She was the one suffering from the loss of her child, but instead of them comforting her, it is her comforting them.

It is her who is staying strong for everyone.

After a long heartfelt moment between boss and subordinates, everyone finally calmed down.

"I never want to hear any one of you regard yourselves as failures. You all are the most courageous people I know."

Yue Ling walks back to the bed to sit, but seeing that someone was missing, she turns to look at everyone.

"Where is Qi Li?"

Each person glance to one another when they heard her words. Lin Hui takes a deep breath as he was now sitting on a chair.

"He and Yiqing have been trying to track down Chu Li Xiang."

Hearing this, Yue Ling nod her head as she looks at everyone inside the room again.

Remembering a certain person, she looks at Lin Hui.

"What about Ning Mei?"

Lin Hui snorts a sneer and his eyes dimmed darker than they already are.

"I’ve kept an close eye on her. Right now, she is overseas for a photoshoot."

Disgust flash on his face when he remembers the things he found. While his boss is facing all this crisis, that disgusting woman is overseas enjoying endless nights of drinking and sleeping with men.

His fists clench tightly and he looks at Yue Ling. However, when he looked at her, his face showed respect and care like it always had.

"What do you have planned for her?"

Yue Ling ponder in thoughts for a long minute. Folding her arms over her chest, she touch her chin with one hand.

"I’ll let her enjoy her life for now. Our main target right now is Chu Li Xiang."

Saying this, her eyes dimmed as a sinister grin curl on her lip.

"Send words to the underworld. In one weeks’ time, a meeting will be held."
