Granting You A Second Life

Qin Song had finished interrogating Huang Teng.

Everyone in the room stood up.

Qin Song: "Elder Huang, I"m glad that we"ve come to an understanding. There"s a driver waiting outside for you."

Qin Song escorted Huang Teng to the door and opened it.

Huang Teng felt like he had been mowed down by a bulldozer. He weakly walked out of the office.

Qin Song closed the door and turned around to find his father and brother staring at him with questioning looks on their faces. Qin Song went and sat back down on the sofa next to Qin Xian Jun.

Qin Song: "What is it?"

Qin Xian Jun now shone with admiration and excitement: "Bro that was so awesome! You made Huang Teng into the living dead! You totally destroyed his reincarnation cycle! You have to teach me!!"

It was now Qin Song"s turn to look confused: "What are you talking about?"

Qin Xian Jun: "Ge, you were so ruthless when dealing with Huang Teng. I"ve never seen you so angry before. I could almost see the death rays shooting from your eyes. Even I was a little scared when you started smiling. I thought you would melt me into a puddle if I looked directly into your eyes! It was so awesome please teach me the ways of destruction; why do you only teach me about finance and .."

Elder Qin cut off Qin Xian Jun"s rambling: "Jun stop your nonsense your brother isn"t a villain from a comic book."

Qin Song didn"t know whether to laugh or cry that his father had made him into a villain.

Elder Qin: "Song, you"ve always been cold and ruthless when dealing with outsiders. But today was the first time I"ve ever seen you express so much emotion, You were filled with fury. "

Qin Song thought back to his conversation with Huang Teng: "I don"t think I behaved any differently than I usually would. I never allow people to take what"s mine."

Elder Qin nodded and didn"t speak any further. Qin Song has always had a possessive personality. Whatever he deemed as his even if it was an insignificant pebble he would destroy anyone who coveted it.

Qin Xian Jun did not share the same thoughts at his father. He wondered to himself: " What was Ge referring to when he said "mine"?"

Unity hospital 1:55 pm- Li Xiuying"s office

Jiang Huan was sitting at her office desk. She was on the phone talking to her morning rescuer.

Jiang Huan: "I"m very grateful for your help this morning."

Rescuer: "I was just doing what anyone would have."

Jiang Huan: "Don"t be modest, you chased away two teenage thugs and then called the police and even took the time to give a statement. Most people would have looked the other way."

Rescuer: "I was happy to help and I was even happier when I saw that I was helping such a beautiful woman."

Jiang Huan had a smile on her face: "Hmmm that sounds like the rehea.r.s.ed line of a player."

Rescuer: "I can a.s.sure you that I"m definitely not a player. I"m just speaking the truth. You are a beautiful woman and I would love to take you out for dinner."

Jiang Huan smile widened: "Dinner? Well I..."

Rescuer: "You can"t deny that it was fate that brought us together."

Jiang Huan: "Well okay, just dinner. But I"ll pay. It will be my way of thanking you for all your help today."

Rescuer: "I would never let a lady pay, how about you thank me by promising me a second date now as well?"

Jiang Huan giggled.

Jiang Huan heard a noise behind her; she turned around to see Dr. Li staring at her.

Jiang Huan cried in alarm: "Dr. Li... I.. I." She realized she was still on the phone.

Jiang Huan quickly spoke into her mobile: "I"ll call you later." She then hung up the phone and quickly put her phone in the drawer to her desk before turning to face Li Xiuying again.

Jiang Huan: "Dr. Li I am so sorry for making a personal call during work hours. I give you my word it won"t happen again." Jiang Huan felt mortified. This was only her second official day at work and she was already caught breaking rules.

Li Xiuying saw Jiang Huan"s sincerity. She nodded.

Li Xiuying had heard the last words Jiang Huan had spoken whilst on the phone; she couldn"t help feeling that something was wrong about the whole situation surrounding the break in. But it wasn"t her place to say anything.

Li Xiuying: "Okay?"

Li Xiuying had only come to the office to check on Jiang Huan.

Jiang Huan sighed in relief on the inside: "I"m fine Dr. Li."

Li Xiuying was about to leave the office when Jiang Huan stopped her.

Jiang Huan: "Dr. Li before you go, there was a call earlier from a Mr. Chen. He said it was an urgent matter and requested you call back as soon as you can."

Li Xiuying emitted a cold hatred, she smiled sinisterly. It only lasted for a moment before she became expressionless once again. But she still emitted a venomous aura.

Li Xiuying thought to herself: So it begins.

Jiang Huan rolled her chair further away from Li Xiuying; she could feel a malicious air surrounding her. Jiang Huan stared wide eyed at Li Xiuying before her, she couldn"t force herself to look away.

A few moments of oppressive silence later, there was a knock at the door.
