Unexpected Second Chance at Love [4]

CHAPTER 762: Save you both

Liu Shan doesn't look at the man standing next to him. Even without looking, he could see from the corner of his eyes that Xu Long was staring at him as if trying to read his thoughts.

He continues to remain unfazed and dries the dishes but deep down he couldn't help but recall what Gui Tian Lan had told him about what happened after their counter with Red Moon.

While everyone went home for the night, Qi Li, Gui Tian Lan, Gui Zhongmin, and Tang Zhonghui decided to follow Tao Meng and his men back to Red Moon. They had to make sure that no one from Red Moon thought about harming anyone from Fate.

Especially when they became aware that Tao Meng had taken interest in their boss and Xiao was the kind of person who holds grudges against those who humiliated him.

Luckily, they made the decision to follow because they overheard Xiao on the phone with someone. The man had thought out a plan with outsiders to destroy Fate to get back at Mad Reaper for not telling the others to back down.

Not only that, but it was also the perfect opportunity to get rid of the infamous Fate because the foundation of Fate was practically vacant with only Steward Yang residing there.

As Liu Shan's thoughts deepen, his eyes darken a shade darker. He truly regretted letting the bastards from Red Moon off too easily. If Xiao had the intentions to harm Fate, who knows what the others were thinking.

He swore inside, if Tao Meng or any of his men so close as to have any thoughts of touching his boss and Fate, he will make them wish they were never born.

Xu Long, who was completely unaware of the man's thoughts, tilts his head to the side. He was muddled as Liu Shan didn't answer his question. However, noticing the grave look on the man's face, he creased his brows.

"Liu Shan? Did you hear me?"

He calls out a few times to get the assistant's attention, but still received no response. His confusion turned into frustration as he wonders about what could have made Liu Shan's this angry.

His eyes unknowingly glance down and seeing how tight Liu Shan was gripping onto the bowl in hand, his eyes widen, and he panics.

"Bro you're going to break the bowl!"

Liu Shan's eyes that seemed to have lost their way quickly returns to normal when he heard Xu Long. He blinks a few times then lowers his head to look at the bowl he was drying.

He quickly loosens his grip but ended up dropping the bowl into the sink.

Liu Shan: "Uhh..."

Xu Long: "..."

Lin Hui: "What happened? What was that sound?"

As the two assistants stood in silence in the kitchen, Lin Hui's voice calls out from the living room. He (Lin Hui) was planning to take a quick nap from his food coma.

His eyes were already closed, and he was just about to drift to sleep but when heard the loud crash, he jolted awake.

Hearing no response from the other two, he looks in their direction from over the kitchen island. When he saw how neither person was moving, a sudden thought came to his mind.

Could it be that when he closed his eyes, someone had broken into the place? Did the person hear him?

Judging how the two assistants aren't moving from the sound, it must mean they are being held at gunpoint.

Trusting his own thoughts, he slowly slid down from the couch like a slug. He doesn't rush towards the kitchen but lays on his stomach on the floor. With carefulness, he engages his entire body and focuses his strength on his core and arm muscles.
