Li Qiang was panting in rage and smashing anything within his reach on the floor. He sucked a mouthful of air, throwing another thing onto the floor, his breathing ragged.
Another plan failed. How came Jiang Yue and Fu Jin seemed to always ruin his plans?
His blood started boiling, as Li Qiang realized that he had never felt this kind of rage before. Neither to Wang Ruo, nor to Jiang Yue's father. No, he only felt this kind of anger towards Jiang Yue and Fu Jin. Because of these two, he was still unable to obtain the list, as well as Fu Conglomerate. His forces dwindled, as everyone he had sent to Fu Conglomerate did not return. All of them were his top experts, yet, they did not return! Just how hateful were Fu Jin and Jiang Yue?
He did everything right. Manipulated the right people, yet the duo seemed to outsmart him in every possible way. Li Qiang unleashed another round of curses before downing a glass of whiskey.
Jiang Yue would pay for this, he promised. That woman would surely pay double the price for everything ! He would make sure of it.
Meanwhile, the press conference ended with exploding news. Everyone was so excited to write news articles out of the drama that had happened during the event.
Who would have believed that things like this could happen in real life? Wasn't it too... movie-like? Scheming to this degree, was something that this news reporters had never had the chance to venture before. However, with what had happened to Jiang Yue, many people from the media started talking about schemes among rich families.
Surely, what had happened was not something that was planned overnight. It must have been planned for weeks, if not for months. So, who would have the boldness to do this, other than the rich and influential people?
So, who was behind this scheme? Could it be someone, who wanted to remove CEO Jiang from her own company? Was it her sister, who was clearly jealous of her? Or was it someone else.
"I actually pity the real Jiang Yue. How could she be a victim of this kind of schemes?"
"Hmmm.. I agree. The life of the rich and influential families is truly too hard to fathom, ah."
"Who would have the time to scheme against Jiang Yue?"
"It should be someone, who truly hates her to the bone. Otherwise, why would they invest so much in this... look at the photo of the impostor, she really looks like Jiang Yue."
"Yes, I have even seen her when she was throwing her tantrums outside Fu Conglomerate's main building. I really thought she was CEO Jiang."
"I guess this should serve as a lesson to everyone. Do not make assumptions directly without even doing any research."
"Speaking of research, I did some on that impostor Wu Minxia she was an heiress of Wu Conglomerate, however, Jiang Yue beat their company to the ground, causing a change of ownership. Making Wu Conglomerate a part of Wang Group."
"So she had her reasons to be mad at Jiang Yue...."
"Aiyah... these people really have complicated lives."
Of course, this did not mean that everyone actually sympathized with Jiang Yue. Many people actually pitied Wu Minxia. They believed that Jiang Yue's acquisition of Wu Conglomerate had taken its toll to Wu Minxia's mental health, causing her to make drastic decisions.
Then another group laid out some facts, saying that Jiang Yue with Wang Group acquired Wu Conglomerate two years ago. Did this mean that Wu Minxia waited years, just to get her revenge? Or someone else was backing her.
Of course, Jiang Yue was still oblivious of those discussions, as her attention was focused mainly on Wu Minxia.
"Why did you take me here and not the police?" Wu Minxia asked, putting up the bravest expression she could made in this situation.
"Otherwise, you would have been dead by tomorrow if I took you to the police," she answered. She was sure that Li Qiang would come to kill Wu Minxia, the moment she got to the police office.
"Are you threatening me? Oh sorry... I forgot that you are actually a murderer! You have killed my aunt, just like how you killed Jiang Mian's mother! Murderer!"
"Do you think I would have stooped down so low and dirty my hands by killing someone like you?" Jiang Yue sneered, "Keep dreaming."
"I will only kill someone, who has also hurt me... and you, my dear is so far from hurting me," she added, making Wu Minxia gulp a mouthful of saliva, as fear started showing on her face. Jiang Yue just accepted the fact that she really would kill someone. What if Jiang Yue killed her too?
"So you... did you really kill my aunt and Jiang Mian's mother?" Wu Minxia asked.
However, instead of giving an answer, Jiang Yue just stared at her with no expression whatsoever. The woman in front of her had the exact same features as her. And Jiang Yue actually found it a little weird.
"What? You're not going to say anything now?" Wu Minxia said.
Jiang Yue let out a sigh at Wu Minxia's words. "I gave you a chance to start a new life, Wu Minxia. Tell me. Why did you do it? Did your hatred consume every bit of rationality in your brain? Did you even think what would happen to your father if you die now?"
