Unexpected Second Chance at Love [3]

CHAPTER 443: Gift

Hearing the sudden name, the two bulky men were rendered speechless. The name Li Wei just said is a name everyone from the underworld is very familiar with.

While the two men were lost in a daze, a chuckle sounds from the man standing next to Li Wei. Holding the black box in one hand, his other hand reach up to pull the hood back.

Yiqing's flawless face reveal with his usual carefree smile. Lifting his head, he turns to look at the leader of White Tiger.

"Seems like you've been contacted by him."

At the mention of 'him' both men from Black Dragon knew exactly who Yiqing was referring to.

Lu Tian.

It is known that Lu Tian's Wolf Team is indestructible and highly trained. However, amongst those people, there are five people who everyone should not look down on, and this man...

This man name Yiqing, who is standing in front of them is one of those five people they have to be wary of. No wonder he was able to casually walk into Retro like he was walking to school.

Casting a look to the two men, Yiqing takes a step forward and put the box in the hands of the man to the right.

Taking a step back, his pointer and middle fingers tap against his forehead as he gestures a friendly salute. A wide grin curls on his face and he spoke.

"Please hand this gift to your boss."

-

On the highest floor of Black Dragon's base, a knock sounds at the door before it opens. The man Yiqing entrusted the box to enters the room.

"Boss. Sorry to disturb you."

Seated behind the only desk in the room, Chu Qiang was reading some reports on their business with other gangs. Hearing his subordinate, he looks up.

"What is it?"

Unlike Chu Li Xiang's demeanor, Chu Qiang was always the opposite. Maybe it was due to his older age, but he never spoke to his men like he was superior than them.

Standing at the side of him was his left hand man, Guan Li.

The bulky man swallow with difficulty before entering the room. He walks over to the desk and place the black box down.

"Lu Tian's subordinate came by just now and asked this to be given to you."

Hearing the man's words, Chu Qiang furrow his brows in a frown. He looks at the box then set the reports in his hands down.

"You said Lu Tian sent it?"

The bulky man quickly nod his head. Seeing this, Chu Qiang couldn't help but feel something strange arise inside him. However, pushing the feeling aside, he waves to the man.

"Mm. You may leave."

Until the man had left and it was only Guan Li in the room with him, Chu Qiang reach for the box.

"Boss."

Just as Chu Qiang's hand touched the lid, Guan Li stops him. Walking up to the desk, his voice sounds.

"Let me open it. What if it's a trick?"

Hearing this, Chu Qiang chuckles and shook his head.

"Lu Tian is not the type to send a trick." He stares at the box and his words continue. "If he ever did send a gift, it's a message."

Just as his words fell, he opens the lid. However, opening it three inches of the way, all the colors on his face drained of life.

"What is it?"

Guan Li worriedly asks when he saw the pale look on his boss. Never has he seen the strong man look so terrified.

The boy's voice brought Chu Qiang out of his sudden shock. He covers his nose and takes a deep breath that cause his body to shudder before removing the lid completely.

"What the-"

A shiver crawled on Guan Li and he stumbles a step back in horror. The strong stench of something decaying enters his nostrils making him want to vomit.

Inside the black box was the bodyless head of a man. Despite it being covered in dried blood, his eyes remained open and mouth left widely agape.

With a slightly tremble body, Guan Li looks at his boss, "Who... Why?"

Chu Qiang place the lid over the box again and he leans back on his chair.

"Send out a message to everyone. Black Dragon will not be open for business tonight."

"Eh, why?"

Guan Li quickly asked when he heard the sudden order. He couldn't understand why his boss would close the place. Lu Tian sent them a dead man's head, shouldn't he (Chu Qiang) prepare for war? Or...

Knowing what the boy was thinking, Chu Qiang heaves a long sigh.

"The owner of that head belongs to one of my brother's lackeys."

Like lightning had struck his heart, blood rush to Guan Li's head and he slams a fist on the desk.

"Then shouldn't we get revenge? Isn't this a threat from Lu Tian?"

Chu Qiang slowly shook his head. Glancing at the box, he could still remember the look in the dead man's eyes. It was the look of one who had gone to Hell and met the devil.

However, thinking about the reason behind this gift, he felt agitated.

"Lu Tian is not the type of person to send a head like this for no reason."

Hearing this, the anger inside Guan Li disperse into thin air. He was angry because one of their brothers was killed, but his boss is right. Lu Tian is not the kind of man to do something like this without reason.

Quickly understanding the meaning of the gift, all the hair on his body stood and he looks at Chu Qiang.

"Don't tell me..."

Chu Qiang nods his head and lifts a hand to massage his temple.

"Chu Li Xiang must have crossed Lu Tian's line. I do not know what he did, but Lu Tian is coming here."

Heaving a long sigh, he waves for Guan Li to leave.

"Go. Our guest will be here soon."

Guan Li had more questions he wanted to ask, but seeing the stress on his boss, he decides not to ask. Gesturing a polite bow, he leaves the room.

Left alone in the room, Chu Qiang couldn't hold himself back anymore. Fear finally showed on his face as he nervously ponder in thoughts.

He didn't know what his stupid brother was doing behind his back until he met Lu Tian in City Z. When he learned that Chu Li Xiang was going after Yue Ling, he warned that bastard brother of his to back off.

Lu Tian is already someone they cannot offend, but to cross the line with Yue Ling, that was ten times worse.

Yet, that stupid idiot didn't listen.

Subconsciously glancing at the black box, he felt even more distressed and apprehensive.

What in heavens name did Chu Li Xiang do to piss off Lu Tian so much?

Just as he thought this, he suddenly remembers another person.

Yue Ling, no... Mami.

Not only did Chu Li Xiang cross Lu Tian's line, he must have crossed Yue Ling's too. If so, then Black Dragon is doomed.
