Another Chance To Love - Chapter 98

After she had hung up the call, she deleted the records and turned off her phone before she returned to her seat like a good person. The tiny camera at the corner of the room flickered slightly with a red light unknown to her as she opened her bag to spray some perfume on her in neck and readjusted her collars to show more skin, her fingers stroking her collarbone softly as she fantasized about Jihai for a brief moment before sneaking into the bathroom to see him.

However, in the room next to them, Sakai Natsuhiko watched the whole scene through his phone with a faint smile on his face. His subordinate frowned as he looked over his boss’ shoulders and said. “Boss, shouldn’t we save him? Young Master…”

“Go and send men to escort sister-in-law here. Make sure she doesn’t encounter any danger.” Sakai Natsuhiko regretted not installing any cameras in his cousin’s bathroom so he could watch everything but he didn’t say anything else.

But his subordinate refused to let the matter go. In his own eyes, his boss’s cousin was too sentimental at times due to the fact he didn’t have any family and was somehow raised by the Tang family so he tended to value relationships very much. If not, how could he not have thrown that seductress out of his office from the moment she spilled her drink on his shirt? He was too inexperienced and hadn’t been around women much that’s why he didn’t know of such tricks!

“Boss, I think we should…. save him. He…”

“He needs to learn from his mistakes. Everything will be decided by his will, I want him to see that even past relationships can be a person’s downfall. He needs to let go of that silly dream of reconciling with his childhood friends. If he doesn’t, how can he achieve great things?” Sakai Natsuhiko put down the phone as he stood up to pour himself a drink, sighing. “It’s my fault, I shielded him too much.”

He was most aware of Jihai’s character that’s why he had never forced him to kill anyone neither did he allow him to know everything about his parental clan’s operations. As the older cousin, he was willing to dirty his hands and let him handle all the political activities that usually made his own head hurt. But his bodyguard’s eyes widened when he realized something, making him face his boss. “Boss is smart. You also intend to kill two birds with one stone. If I am not mistaken, you also want to use this incident to see if Miss Tang is willing to trust Young Master?”

Sakai Natsuhiko paused when the glass was about to touch his lips and smiled. “Aiya, why do you have so many things to say today? Do I need to seal your lips together?”

His subordinate bowed his head and swiftly exited the room as he apologized. “Please pardon this subordinate. I will get going now.”

Sakai Natsuhiko ignored him even after the door closed, he continued to look at his drink with a pout as he thought. ‘Hmm, that will teach him a lesson. How dare he chase me away because of an ugly woman like her?!’

Meanwhile, Tang Chunlan felt the need to rush when she remembered the phone call she had recieved so she urged Yin Tao to carry her there as fast as he could. She didn’t want her innocent and naive fiancee to fall into the hands of that vixen. She knew that he would blame himself at the end and then he would be too guilty to even ask for forgiveness. “Uncle Yin Tao, please hurry. We really need to get there quickly.”

Just as her father’s bodyguard made a noise of agreement, she felt the car suddenly shake as something hit them from behind, throwing her across the backseat. She managed to her up with a voice of distress as she realized that the car was indeed accelerating.”What’s going on?”

“We have a problem, Miss. Please be rest ȧssured, I will ensure your safety at all cost.” Yin Tao’s fierce and determined eyes spared her a glance through the rearview mirror as he swerved the car to another lane, dodging the series of bullets that were fired in the air. As he calculated the number of cars following them, he realized that there was no way he could have a direct confrontational fight with them especially with Chunlan around. He scolded himself for taking a shortcut instead of of using the main road in the first place and because of that, he tried his best to run away from their attackers.

However, after several minutes, their enemies had managed to reach them as they fired several bullets which pierced through the bulletproof glass windows easily. Luckily, Tang Chunlan had already tucked herself and bent her head as the gunshots followed them persistently. Yin Tao was bȧrėly holding on because he was wounded by one of the stray bullets but he stubbornly drove the car hoping to reach the main road where he could hopefully lose them and escape.

Immediately they passed a row of trees, he saw several cars emerge from the bush as they blocked the incoming cars. He didn’t stop to look behind as he continued to drive forward but he saw another car skillfully block them, making them bring the car to an abrupt halt. Yin Tao pulled out a gun as he came down and pointed it at the group of men who had surrounded them.

One of them stepped forward and rised his hand to signal his men to drop their weapons. He seemed hesitant to speak but he slowly said. “Please be calm…We mean you no harm.”

Tang Chunlan who had been trembling in in fear suddenly came out when she saw that the car had stopped, much to Yin Tao’s dismay. She stretched her arms forward as she walked slowly. “Yin Tao, where are we? What’s going on?”

She heard one of the men speak in a foreign language when Yin Tao came to her and shielded her. She frowned and turned her head. “Japanese men? Are you the ones who wanted to kill us? Who are you?”

The leader who had stepped out vaguely understood what she was saying so he shook his head as he repeated. “We mean you no harm.. We come fron the Sakai clan.”

Tang Chunlan deflated at his words as she came out and smiled in relief. “Did Jihai send you here? Where is he?”

The man frowned. Not many people in Japan knew her fiance’s Chinese name so he didn’t know who she was talking about. “Our young lord sent us here to escort you to the company. He said he has something to show you there. Please follow us.”

Yin Tao frowned when he saw the small smirk on the man’s face. He had already confirmed that they were indeed from the Sakai clan and he was a little worried since he was sure that something bad must had happened to Jihai since he was not here to personally meet them.

They seemed to be hiding something. What were these men up to?
