Fan Delun had a crazy day.
First of all, the last he remembered is him falling from the top of an extremely tall building, because the girl he went to save would not let go of his hand.
Worst of all, he did not want her to let go of that hand. He could have peeled off her fingers, he knew. Yet, he did not do so. They stayed there, in limbo, exactly like that, till his strength was exhausted.
Then, they both were falling to the ground, still holding each other's hands, together.
Death did not do them apart.
' In death, I am not alone. ' Delun thought for a crazy moment, the next, He woke up in his car.
He could not tell which part is dream, which part is reality, so all he could do was move forward as if it's reality no matter what.
So, he asked the driver for a date and time, then rushed to call his subordinates not to touch the girl.
A week ago, Bai Yu Ning came to his security company, asked him for a meeting with black card.
It's code for doing underground work.
It's the first big task of the year. For Delun who was slowly moving away from his grandfather, this is an huge advantage. Thus, he agreed to take the task.
The task is to get rid of a little gold digger.
Instead of offering compensation, Bai Yu Ning offered him a deal, an extremely big construction project will be given to his company instead of his fathers. This will make him a big name among construction giants. It's far too sweet a bait for him to push it away.
Despite their own Fan group being a single company on the outside, any one with some influence understood it's rather a coalition of a many big bosses, who form a pyramid structure of power.
Thus, his father is his competitor along with his uncles.
If Delun finishes this project successfully, then he would stand on the same stage as the big guys within the company. Even his grandfather would have to measure words when speaking with him.
Delun wanted power above all.
He wanted his father to suffer the same as his mother did.
For power, he agreed.
They were given the profile of the girl, a barmaid of XX branch night club.
It's one of the more honorable clubs, run by the Zhu family.
Chances are the little barmaid is genuine in love, even if she had seduced young master Bai, she probably would be a little white lotus, not a jaded criminal who is an old hand at such operations.
So, they went with the standard way of dealing with unwanted suitors of the rich and powerful.
She was offered a million yuan, but the girl laughed in their faces and rejected the offer.
Million yuan in the imperial capital is not considered big money. Yet, it's also not small money.
For a barmaid, it should have been more than enough.
This is Delun's first time scaring a little girl.
Even when he was in kindergarten, he beat the bigger kid to steal the candy.
A bit discomposed, he ran the background check on the girl, more carefully this time.
Soon, he figured out why the girl had laughed in their faces.
The girl is not a barmaid at all.
She is a doctor.
Albeit, one in training, but a doctor all the same.
A pretty good one at that.
She is taking a year off, and she is a student of national number one university, more importantly, an early youth admission candidate.
Like many other medical students, she was repeating a year for a desired course.
She provides health services for the barmaids for a discounted price and occasionally serves a specific set of customers at a freelancer charge.
These customers are usually the foreigner, corporate or some such events where they wouldn't dare send everyday nightlife waitresses.
She earned money, the nightclub saved money, from not having to hire an official translator or officiator, who cost a lot more than a random student proficient at foreign languages.
No wonder she laughed in their faces.
With this kind of resume, the girl could marry into the Bai family, and still not be looked down upon. Moreover, Million is big money only for waitresses, it's not the same for a doctor, despite the thousand other news articles saying doctors are underpaid, stressed, etc...
At least, a doctor as talented as her. Hells, it's not big money for even some of the other waitresses who have sponsors.
Zhu nightclub is where most entertainment company trainees, film club students and otherwise work. At least five percent of these people stand a good chance of making it big. Thus, while rare, it's not impossible for one of the waitresses of Zhu night club not to fall for money.
So, he revised his plans and decided to go with violence.
After all, scholars feared violence most.
Only, the first time around, there was an accident.
The Zhu family's eldest daughter found out about this inquiry, and moved strings to break the girl's hands.
He was unable to prevent it from happening. At that time, he did not understand at all. What is the connection between this random barmaid and Zhu family eldest miss? Also, since when did Zhu RongHui know his subordinates this well?
It is only when Bai Ming, the young master both girls are fighting over, rushed to the scene and rescued the girl, did he understand.
Delun could barely pull out his forces in time to escape the eyes of Bai Ming.
No need to make unnecessary enemies, Bai Ming may not be involved with Bai group, but he still held a lot of weight as the only undisputable heir.
However, Delun still needed to ensure the task was accomplished.
So, he followed the girl instead of his underlings.
He saw her break up with Bai Ming with cruel words.
Even more surprisingly, she recognized him. she refused to answer how, so he let it be.
He had a feeling either the politician's daughter or Zhu RongHui were involved there, but he has no way to prove. This past month, they both have caused him enough headache together.
Given that she already recognized him, he decided to deal with this legally.
He offered her compensation, and she wanted the hands of the guy to be broken just like hers.
So, they signed a settlement document, absolving him of his crimes, and his minion's hands were broken sufficiently as an example to the rest of his underlings.
After all, he is their boss, not Zhu RongHui. They shouldn't have acted with out his command.
He went to hospital the next day to visit his underling, only to see BingLan going to the roof.
Feeling uneasy, he followed her.
She stood at the tipping point, a special architectural feature of the hospital, and looked like she was about to jump.
Delun stood near her, out of her sight, ready to help her if need be.
After a really really long time, she stopped playing the drama, and turned back.
Who knew!
At this moment, there was a strong wind, and she fell. While she caught on to the parapet, she was just recovering from a hand injury. It is impossible for her to hold on.
Delun caught her by the wrist.
Her fingers curled around his, but he could tell.
There's no strength in them.
If he stopped holding her, she would fall .
He braced against the railing and tried to pull her up, but the wind was too strong.
His strength gave out at this point, and both of them fell down together, still holding each other's hand like a lifeline.
Then, he woke up here.
He is not quite sure this is reality, but whether it is or not, he has decided, he will think of this as a second chance and live it diligently.
There are many interesting tidbits he found out during this month's time.
Bai Ming is Bai Yu Ning's nephew. She spoiled her nephew too much. that is the talk in the circle.
However, when you look close, you notice. While it looked like it's love, there are distinct little decisions she made for her nephew which proved it's probably hatred.
Zhu family young miss looks very innocent, and is a quite successful flirt. He did not know her intention when she played nice to him, even so he went along with it, for making enemies with Zhu family over trivial matters is never good for one's financial health.
What he didn't know is the magnitude of her obsession with Bai Ming or her father's reach.
Bai Ming is miss Zhu's official fiancé, the announcement came the next day Bing Lan broke up with Bai Ming. Even Delun felt ambiguous about their engagement, given he saw how dedicated Bai Ming sounded when he implored Bing Lan to accept his proposal.
Worse yet, Bai Ming was a perfectly courteous fiancé on the engagement day. Yes, Delun attended their engagement party.
Bai Ming, who looked like a harmless earthworm, is a far more powerful opponent than he expected.
He learned the meaning of don't look down on youth once more because of Bai Ming.
Now, unlike others, he has extremely valuable information. The Bai family is gearing up for an inheritance fight. If Bai Yu Ning is a lioness, Bai Ming is a smiling tiger. It's going to get far more bloodier than any one expected.
However, all these tidbits are secondary. The most important point was the amount of trouble the politician's daughter caused, together with zhu Rong Hui.
Now, he stopped the disaster in the making, at least for himself. All he has to do is plan the break-up between his wife and Bai Ming.
Delun paused for a moment.
What is this anger he is feeling?
'Can such a change in emotions occur just because someone is his wife?'
He wanted to say something as cliché as that, but that's also wrong.
From the first time he saw Bing Lan, his heart skipped a beat.
Bing Lan is beautiful. More than that, there is a grace and elegance to her bearing, that's hard to achieve with learning. He has never seen anyone who looked as comfortable in their skin as Bing Lan.
Some call it inner light, yet others call it divine halo.. no matter what they call it ...
There is something about her that draws his eye.
That's all there is to it.
On top of that, he watched her nonstop for almost a month.
She never pretended to be anything she is not, not even in front of Bai Ming.
She was always genuine.
One quality one would never find in their circle.
Perhaps that was why Bai Ming is attracted to her.
Now, she is his.
Even if she is nothing but a pretty vase, she is his pretty vase.
He refused to allow Bai Ming to even think of his woman.
This ..
This is not good.
He needs to take sufficient precautions.
His wife is too beautiful and gullible, and Bai Ming is a smiling tiger.
It's absolutely visible that he was playing the pig to eat a tiger.
Now that he is back in the past, he needs to destroy this relationship as fast as possible.
The best way is to let the course of events repeat.
He called his wife.
