Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Music could be heard for everyone outside the 7-story building, but it is quickly overpowered by another source of music once inside. There was so much bass that all the walls were trembling. It was as if the place was in the middle of an earthquake.

At the very back of the first floor, one can hear the loud sound of glass clanking in a toast as people's laughter echo in all directions.

Placed against the red walls were rows of beds separated by a sheer curtain. Anyone who glances from near or far can see the outlines of men and women indulging in the night's pleasure.

In this area's center, the men who did not seek l.u.s.tful pleasure found their pleasure in drugs and gambling. Each person has the appearance of someone who did not have a good upbringing.

However, despite their scary appearance that makes a person cower in fear, each person has one or more women clinging to them.

* slam—!

Just when everyone was enjoying themselves, a door from the side pushed open and slams hard against the wall, taking everyone by surprise.

All the people in the room abruptly cease their voices. In one swift motion, their heads turn to look at the person daring to ruin their night.

Standing behind the door was a young man in his early twenties. He gave off an innocent aura and looked like he didn't belong in the place but had accidentally entered the wrong room.

However, one can see his face was as pale as a ghost as he looks around the room for a person.

"Xiao De. Are you asking to die early?"

A deep and angry voice spoke from behind one of the many beds against the red walls. A large hand then pushes aside the sheer curtain, and a bulky robust man steps out. He was completely n.a.k.e.d as he wraps a blanket around his waist.

Behind him on the bed sat two women in no shame of having their exposed bodies seen by everyone in the room.

"Who said you could enter here and ruin the fun for everyone?"

The young man name Xiao De stops searching and lowers his head in fear. He didn't dare to look up anymore because he could feel everyone's burning glare. He swore, without a doubt, they will strangle him to death if they wanted.

However, what he has to report is very important.

"Brother Jia Lin, I didn't mean to interrupt the night for everyone. I need to find Boss and inform him of a serious matter."

The man, addressed as Jia Lin, scoffs at the sight of Xiao De. He never understood why Tao Meng would allow such a weakling into Red Moon.

He walks over to where Xiao De stood and howled a laugh as he stops in front of the kid. He grabs Xiao De by the collar and shoves the boy onto the floor.

"Who said you are allowed to report to Boss?"

His eyes widen sinisterly, and he glares down at the kid.

"If you have something to say, tell me, and I'll relay the message for you."

His words fell, and everyone in the room burst into a peal of hysterical laughter.

"What a fool. Everyone knows that all reports are passed to Boss by Jia Lin."

"Really asking for death. Why did Boss even let him join?"

"He's nothing but a good-for-nothing fool. We should just get rid of him."

Voices echoed in ridicule, and Xiao De kept his head down. However, his fists clenched tightly. Even when his nail dug into his skin, he didn't loosen his fists.

Did he want to join Red Moon?

Hell no. He's only here because of a debt his foolish father owes Tao Meng. If it weren't for his younger siblings' safety, he would rather die than be here in this shit hole.

Xiao De isn't even his real name. It was a name they just threw at him.

However, no matter how much they look down on him and push him around, he must survive and return. If he dies here, no one will look after his younger siblings. Not even his father.

He inhales a deep breath to calm his trembling body, and he takes out the phone in his pocket. He hands it to Jia Lin without raising his head.

"Someone hacked into the security cameras."

"!!!"

His words quickly put everyone into a silent state of mind.

Jia Lin held the phone and stared down at the screen. His thumb scrolls through all the camera footage, but each one showed only a black screen. He thought this was a joke, but the bottom corner's time and date were still running like normal.

His entire being shook in a burning rage, and he throws the phone on the floor, breaking it. He takes one giant stride and yanks Xiao De off the ground by the collar.

"You dumbass! Why are you just now telling us?!"

He held the kid up with one hand, and his other hand curls into a fist. He shows no mercy and throws a punch as he roars furiously.

"Useless son of a bitch!"

"Jia Lin."

Xiao De squeezes his eyes shut. He was expecting Jia Lin's fist to punch him in the face, but no pain came to him. He opens one eye a little and sees that the scary man had already let him go and was looking in a different direction.

His eyes follow the robust man's, and his head turns to the left. There he saw a shirtless Tao Meng walking towards them with arms dr.a.p.ed over Ling Ni and another woman with short hair.

"Boss."

Jia Lin cast aside his anger and bows respectfully at Tao Meng. Quickly following his movements were Xiao De and the other members of Red Moon.

"What's going on?"

Tao Meng's deep voice thunders throughout the place. He stops in front of the two men and glances between them for an answer.

"Well?"

No one dared to lift their head, not even Jia Lin, who was acting all high and mighty seconds ago. However, as the right-hand man and the one who reports to Tao Meng, Jia Lin takes a small step forward, still in a bowing posture.

"Boss, this idiot just informed me that someone hacked into our security system."

Tao Meng didn't react much but arches an eyebrow. He looks at Xiao De and slightly frowns.

He couldn't recall ever letting such a weak-looking person join Red Moon. However, noticing a small scar on the boy's forehead, something clicked in his mind.

He puts on a fatherly smile and lowers his arms around the two women at his side. He takes a step towards Xiao De and places his hands behind his back.

"Is that true, Xiao De?"
