The trio stared at the photo, unable to say anything. Was Li Qiang really Jiang Yue's father? Then, why was he trying to kill Jiang Yue? And why did he kill Wang Ruo?
But the main question was, whether they were going to tell Jiang Yue about this, or not?
That night no one among the three had any sleep. Everyone was thinking the same, who was Li Qiang and why he hated Wang Ruo and Jiang Yue?
....
At the end of the Country, Li Qiang was also sleepless.
The thought of Jiang Yue being dead, was somehow, making him uneasy. It wouldn't be that easy to kill her, right?
Then, where was she? How came he couldn't find her? Did she really die in fire? Then, why was Fu Jin so calm? He did not even spare a minute, to go to Xin City and check if his beloved one was really dead.
If Jiang Yue was alive.... then Li Qiang was sure that their plan would go astray.
The press conference tomorrow was just another trap for Jiang Yue. It was his way of knowing if she was still alive. She would not let Jiang Mian and Wu Minxia continue ruining her reputation, right?
Because of this reasoning, Li Qiang was almost sure that Jiang Yue would reveal herself tomorrow. But before that, Li Qiang hoped to intercept her. However, he couldn't do that without knowing Jiang Yue's location.
He had exhausted all of his men to find her. Yet, it was as if she had just disappeared from the fire. So where did she go? What had happened to her? Was she really going to show herself tomorrow?
However, he had already set up everything for tomorrow. Jiang Yue would be kicked out from Wang Empire, weakening Fu Jin's authority in the process. Once Fu Jin had no backing from Wang Empire, then it would be easier for Li Qiang to oust him.
...
The board meeting started at nine in the morning with Wang Minghua and Wang Huo. And as expected, the board members were pressured by most investors to kick Jiang Yue out of the company.
"No matter how talented she is, we cannot have her stay in this company." One of the new board members said.
"I agree with Mr. Lu, This scandal and her behavior are very alarming. It is as if... she is an entirely different person now, than what she has used to be."
"Well, people change. I don't know what has happened to her, but I'm sure it is somehow related to Fu Jin of FC Oils."
"She had let her emotions get ahead of her, making her irrational in the process."
"Well, we can have her submit a resignation. It's better than firing her."
"Hmmm... agree."
"I think you are the ones getting ahead of yourself." Wang Huo interjected. "Do you think my niece can do that? I'm sure we are talking about two different persons here."
"We have watched the news, Mr. Wang. Your niece is done for. Her career is over!" Said Mr. Lu. His words were so direct and everyone in the room nodded in agreement.
"Who says that Jiang Yue's career is over?" A voice came, as the door of the board room opened. Everyone turned their heads and was somehow shocked to see Fu Jin walking towards them.
"Mr. Fu, you can't be here, have you forgotten that this is not Fu Conglomerate?" Mr. Lu sneered. 'This Fu Jin was so troublesome' he thought as he watched Fu Jin sit, on what was supposed to be Jiang Yue's chair.
Fu Jin only scoffed at their words before he gestured his secretary to give everyone a document. "As the owner of Moon Publishing and the one of top investors in Wang Empire, I have all the rights to be here," he said, as he watched everyone widen their eyes in surprise.
"Now, where was I? Ah yes... about my fiancée..." Fu Jin asked, as another folder was handed to them, by his secretary. "Section two, clause four," he said.
"That's right. In cases like this, Wang Minghua is the only one, who can act as the CEO, while Jiang Yue is away," he stated.
"CEO Fu, Jiang Yue is not away. She is currently causing havoc, dragging the whole company down with herself in the process." One of investors reasoned.
"Havoc? CEO Jiang is currently not well. But she will be soon..." Wang Minghua said, almost unable to control his emotions. These people were slandering his cousin, and he badly wanted to trash them.
"Not well? She was just shouting out of this building yesterday! If you don't kick her out of this company, then I'm taking my investments somewhere else!" Mr. Lu threatened. "Do you take us as fools? We were watching the news and the internet! We know how that Jiang Yue has spread her legs to some men, while she is engaged! That is certainly a big problem in her character! Now, what we want, is really simple. Kick her out of this company, and we want you to do it as soon as possible!"
