Chapter 460 - enjoy her life (1/2)

Ju Suo cried as she recounted what happened that night in the same details Jiangyu had told Lu Tian. However, unlike the bulky man, the rest of them only sustained minor injuries.

Her tears continue to pour down her cheeks despite her hands wiping the tears away.

”We've failed you boss. We weren't careful so that wretched man escaped.”

She chokes a sob and looks at Yue Ling.

”Because of our failure, you… you…”

Her words stop as she dares not to finish her line. If they had taken proper precautions, the little one will still be with them and none of this tragedy would have happened.

*Thud

Just as Ju Suo was unable to say another word, Gui Tian Lan, Gui Zhongmin and Tang Zhonghui dropped to their knees. The three grown men kowtow to her as each man do not hold back their tears.

Gui Zhongmin: ”Forgive us for leaving your side.”

Gui Tian Lan: ”If I didn't send Detective Zhi off, I would have been by your side.”

Tang Zhonghui: ”I am a failure as your subordinate.”

As the three men remained on their knees, Lian Ni Shang and Shan Sinan joined them as each person spoke words of apologies for not doing a good job at keeping their boss safe.

Each person blamed themselves for the cause of the little one's death.

Standing behind the group, Lin Hui takes a step forward and he slowly walks towards Yue Ling. Once he was near the bed, he kneels down and kept his teary eyes at her.

”Boss…”

His fists clench tightly as he fights his tears from escaping his eyes.

”If anyone was to be blame, it is me. I was right there, and I couldn't protect you.”

His head lowers as his tears broke free.

”If anyone is a failure then it is me. I failed you.”

Yue Ling did not once say a word as she looks at her most loyal subordinates.

Their tears were one that she never wanted to see. Not because she doesn't care, but because she never wanted to see them this way.

Blaming themselves for something that no one has control over.

Staring at each person, she could feel the pain they were feeling at this moment.

Lifting her hand, she place it on the top of Lin Hui's head and she softly spoke to them.

”I never once saw any of you as failures. Each one of you did your best. For what happened, it was something we did not see coming.”

”The only failure here is me.”

Just as Yue Ling spoke her words, a voice sounds at the door and she looks at the person.

The man was wearing a set of patient clothes like her. He did not style his hair like he usually would. His neck was properly bandage as he stares at her.

Yue Ling felt relieved when she saw him. Losing so many people was already hard enough for her heart to take in. If he was also taken, she would forever live in guilt.

Her lips trembling parts and she calls out to him.

”Shan…”

Liu Shan stood by the door as he stares at his boss. The feeling inside him was by far more dreadful than the people here.

His head lowers as he can't look her in the eyes anymore.
