after 3 years
huan qingji was ordered to attack the Luo's company which is an opponent company with the same power in business and mafia world.
he order two of his members to investigate but soon they disappear so he was worried that they betrayed since it was a simple meeting with a spy and take the information so he call the spy who told him that they didn't appear then huan qingji order the him to leave to another place so that to not be killed.
Then he order Lin Xiang to bring them since they are very important due for them being about a deal between Luo and another mafia group so they wanted to put a trap and get rid of both.
Lin Xiang went and soon returned and brought with him all the documents that show the time and the place of the deal.
he thanked Lin xiang and order him to take care of a far away mission.
after 3 days on the meeting day.
huan qingji didn't meet Lin Xiang for these days which made him feel uncomfortable due to being unused to it since they never separate from each other more than a couple of hours.
before leaving to the destinated place
huan qingji called Lin Xiang
" hello"
" hi"
" how are you?"
" fine and you"
" alright so are you going to finish today"
" yeah"
" i miss you, do you miss me"
" yeah i miss you too....."
" ok do you want to say something?"
" baby we are going to meet soon, i am sorry i already chosen of the two chances"
" huh? what do you mean...hey Lin.... hey Xiang xiang are you hearing, huh? why did he turn off the phone"
" boss we arrived"
" ok" then he thought ' i will talk to him later on'
he went out of the car and looked to his members then made a sign for the mission beginning.
the meeting place is a typical trucks place where they collect substances.
they all spread in many places and hide behind stuff they could around.
they waited for 15 minutes but no movement which made him frown and his assistant yun min look at him " something wrong boss we must leave".
huan qingji nodded and sign for the members to leave fast.
he called the spy but he didn't answer
he know but he does not want to believe that he betrayed him, he could accept any person betrayal but not him.
as they were ready to leave, he suddenly heard " tick tok tick tok" knowing this sound made him widen his eyes and shouted " leave now!!"
Then boom a truck exploded one by the other, huan qingqi was pushed out by the explosion then 10 minutes later he was able to get up and started walking in the destroyed place, he looked right and left but no one was standing all dead on the floor then he noticed a certain pendant shape that he couldn't forget since he has the other half of it.
the pendant was around a burnout corpse, knowing its owner made him fall on his knee and tears falling from his eyes then he holded his own pendant he shouted from the top of his heart, his childhood friend, his brother, his best friend the only family he recognized and had gone and that was all his fault, all his fault for trusting someone if he wasn't starving for love and care he will not have lost everything his friends and even his family.
" LING XIANG I HATE YOU!!!"
then in front of him he saw some people coming from the smoke they were going to him.
he was kneeling looking up to meet the face of his lover and the god of death who took everything he had.
huan qingji stood and caught his collar " why why why... WHY DID U DO IT? WHY?"
then Lin xiang sigh " i am sorry"
thus huan qingji stared at him " will your apologize return anything back"
" no unfortunately" then he knocked huan qingji by the gun and took hold him not letting him fall then he glance at a man near to him " take him to that place as when i ordered you previously"
" as you order sir"
" good let's leave, but burry everyone here"
" yes boss"
