Ten minutes ago...

    Lu Mello handed drinks to his men and handed a different one for Jin Bolin. He smiled and patted his back once, "I heard that you like strawberry flavor."

    Jin Bolin nodded quietly with a small smile. "Yes, thank you..."

    "Enjoy your food." Lu Mello took a quick glance on one of his men to which the man gave a small nod.

    "By the way, Huang Li, can I have word with you?" Lu Mello asked as he turned to the other man.

    "Sure."

    After Huang Li and Lu Mello left the room, Jin Bolin was quietly eating with the others.

    "Hey Bolin, let''s exchange drinks. I want a strawberry drink too." One of the men, Zhao Yu, said with a pout. "I don''t like orange."

    Jin Bolin blinked a few times before nodding a bit. "Sure." He was not a stingy person after all. And besides, he only likes the fruit itself but when it came to flavors, he preferred apple.

    "Don''t be choosy, Zhao Yu." One of the men said.

    Zhao Yu ignored his companion and happily took the bottle of drink from him before he opened it just to satisfy his thirst.

    "Wait-" The other companion, Xu Yi tried to stop him but it was too late. Zhao Yu had already drunk the juice.

    Jin Bolin was quick to notice the change of expression from Xu Yi when he tried to stop Zhao Yu. He turned to the man who drank the drink that was supposed to be his. Zhao Yu was eating again but after a few seconds, he stopped moving.

    "W-what the... I-I can''t move my body!" Zhao Yu stammered. His body became weak and he fell limp on his seat.

    Did... someone drug the drink? Jin Bolin thought. It was Lu Mello who handed it to him. Could it be...

    Jin Bolin was quick to notice Xu Yi who was about to reach out for the gun that was resting on his side that''s why he flipped the table towards the two men just to distract them and catch them off-guard. He took his gun and in the next second, he didn''t hesitate on shooting them.

    He stood and stared at the dead bodies with cold eyes. He never imagined that Lu Mello would find out that he was actually Hana''s partner.

    "What the..." Lu Mello was surprised to see the once peaceful room now filled with dead bodies of his three men.

    "You leave me no choice." Jin Bolin spat icily as he pointed his gun at him.

    Jin Bolin once worked as a mercenary that was why he was an expert and experienced in the field. It was because of his dangerous work that made him meet Hana two years ago.

    Hana was on her way back to her apartment after her work shift ended. It was in late at night and she was walking alone in the middle of a dark alley. That was where they first met. Hana found Jin Bolin sitting at the side of the trash bin. He was unconscious and bleeding.

    Jin Bolin thought that he would not survive the night after completing his one, last dangerous mission but who would have thought that he would actually live to see another day all thanks to Hana? Because of how badly injured he was, he stayed at Hana''s place for a while until they were able to get close to each other and become friends.

    After his injuries were fully healed, he left Hana''s place. He wanted to leave his life as a killed that was why he started anew by entering the Lu family to work as a security guard. Although while at work, he kept in contact with her. They would meet each other from time to time until he slowly began falling in love with her. He never confessed to her. He didn''t let his feelings known to her in fear that he might end up ruining their relationship.

    He was not a handsome man nor did he have the charisma that could attract women. His self-esteem was low and he was full of insecurities about himself. The only thing he was good at was killing. At least that was what he thought. Hana was the first woman he was comfortable to be with and because of that, he loved her.

    When Hana found out that he was working inside the Lu family and he was an ex-mercenary, that''s when she asked for his help.

    At first, Jin Bolin was surprised to learn that Hana has a child and was actually the child that the Lu couples adopted. It was his fault. He was the reason why Hana found out about the whereabouts of Little Jade. Jin Bolin was in the team that picked Little Jade from the orphanage.

    He was against her plans as well but he saw how her nightmares affected her. He saw how crazy she became when she learned that her son was close by. Even though he saw her that way... He still loved her. He was a murderer, he killed countless of men and women in the past but never a child. Although because of how Hana begged him, he gave in and decided to help her. Because of her, he was willing to go back in being a murderer. He was willing to kill for her. Jin Bolin''s loyalty was towards the woman he loved not with the Lu family.

    The only reason why he wasn''t able to kidnap the child from the Lu household was that the security was tight. No matter how good he was at fighting, there were men from the Lu family''s security team that was better than him, especially the captains of teams One and Two, they were the two men who were assigned to stay close to the kids whenever Lu Mello and Shi Enxi were out.

    "I''m sorry, Mr. Lu. You have to die." Lu Mello was a threat to him if they were about to have a close combat. Before the other man could even attack him, he pressed the gun''s trigger.

    "WATCH OUT!!!" Huang Li didn''t hesitate in jumping in between when he saw that Jin Bolin was about to pull the trigger. He stood in between and took the shot for Lu Mello. A loud thud was heard as Huang Li''s body fell on the ground.
