Unexpected Second Chance at Love [3]

CHAPTER 536: make you stonger

The trees lightly rustle with the small breeze as all turned quiet. Liu Shan remain in silence. Even when she was done talking, he did not say a word.

If it had been someone else, they would have laughed and tell her that she told a great story. So great it could probably be turned into a film.

However, not him.

From the moment he met Yue Ling, he had become familiar with the underworld and knows how things work.

It’s no wonder Ling Ni’s father fell into Red Moon’s scam. The former leader was just as disgusting as Ti Lung from Ghost Gang. The two bastards find pleasure in other’s misfortune but knows how to play the hero and offer lies of helping.

"Why didn’t your family go to the police?"

Hearing his question, Ling Ni sighs and shook her head.

"Even if my family wanted to report it, Tao Meng’s uncle had many officers secretly working under him."

Her words fell and she thought back to the past. She learned that after the people of Red Moon took her away, her father had tried to go to the police station despite his life being on the line. However, when he got there, two officers cuffed him and threw him in jail.

They secretly beat him up more and when nightfall came, they tossed him out in the streets and left him for dead. He only survived because her mother went to search for him after not coming home.

Ling Ni close her eyes and sharply inhales inside.

"I used to think that where there is police officers, you would feel the safest, but sometimes, they are the one who scares me the most."

Liu Shan stares out to the lake, but his mind was lost in his own thoughts about her words.

He hated to admit it, but what she said is true. There are good cops and there are also bad cops. You really don’t know which one to trust, because even the most understanding person can be your enemy.

However, that was all before the new Chief came to Imperial. From what Grandfather Ji told him, the new Chief had done a little spring cleaning, but was still unable to clean all of them.

Thinking this, he couldn’t help but think back to the tragic incident that happened to Ting. The boy had gone to the police station for help, but ignoring his pleads and cries for help, they just laughed at him and told him to go home.

After they saved Ting, he had done a little research and he found out that the officers who had turned the boy down were working in the dark with Ti Lung.

Knowing that his boss was busy, he informed the matters to Grandfather Ji. Together with the Chief, the two old men were able to clean those disgusting people out.

Ling Ni has no idea that Liu Shan thoughts had sidetracked elsewhere. She turns to look at him and pain flash in her eyes. She always thought he was the most handsomest man in her heart. Not only that, he had a great and caring personality that fitted him so well.

However...

"Liu Shan, I am terribly sorry for hurting you. I really am. I thought that if I found my own happiness, Tao Meng would understand and let me go. However, it was all my wishful thinking."

Tears welled in her eyes the more she gaze at him, but she force herself not to cry.

"I was genuinely happy in those moments I spent with you, but when he threatened to kill you, I couldn’t do that to you. I never want to see you go through what my father had to go through."
