The room immediately turned silent at Jiang Yue's words.
"I said move away from the King," she said coldly as she pushed the safety tab of the gun down with her thumb.
"MOVE!" She commanded as she thought about how Li Qiang used his right hand to catch the phone that she tossed out. When according to the records the guard was clearly a left-handed man.
However, instead of following her order, the head guard smirked at her. Then, Jiang Yue felt the cold metal, touching the back of her head. She tried to turn her head, only to feel another cold metal pointing at her head.
Jiang Yue cursed inwardly as she watched the other four guards, who were with Li Qiang, point their weapons at her and the King.
"Surprise!" Li Qiang exclaimed, before removing the mask that he was wearing. He then got a wet tissue from his subordinate and started wiping off the residue of the mask from his face.
"Tell me, what gave me away, young Yue?" He smiled at her.
Jiang Yue scoffed, her gaze unwavering, with her gun still pointed at Li Qiang.
"What's with that look?" He raised an eyebrow at her. "Come on... Let go of your gun if you still want your head intact when we leave here."
Jiang Yue clenched her jaws before squinting her eyes at him.
"What? Don't worry… I won't kill you today… if you behave, of course." He smiled at her.
"You are crazy." Jiang Yue blurted out when one of Li Qiang's men forcefully took the gun from her hands.
"I am."
"Why are you here?" She asked. "My mother is not here! You should look for here elsewhere!"
"So… she has indeed approached you, huh… Tell me... Was she that woman Long Die?" He asked.
Seeing Jiang Yue glare at him, Li Qiang let out a chuckle. "I have always thought that I am smart. Yet, when it comes to your mother... I am still a little dumb."
"I have always thought that it is weird for you to be that close to a female that is as old as that woman. Yet, when I checked her…. Hahaha… that woman indeed fooled me again." He added as his gaze turned serious. "She should not blame me for killing you now, would she?"
"Well… Well… since I am already here... Let me do what I have come here for… then, I will take care of you, alright?" He said, as his gaze turned towards the King who was still lying weakly on one of the beds. Then, Jiang Yue watched as Li Qiang's gaze turned dark.
"Hello, brother..."
"Don't go near him!" Jiang Yue said. Li Qiang must have thought that it was Li Jun. She needed to keep him thinking that way.
"So, you have already had a little family reunion?" His gaze never left the King. "I see… you must have been very happy. I am right, little Yue?"
In response, Jiang Yue just glared at him. "Why? Why are you doing this?" She asked. She wanted to know the reason Li Qiang hated the Li family that much. "Why? You are a Li, after all! You are brothers!"
"Brothers?" He scoffed. "That must be the biggest joke that I have ever heard in my whole life!"
"This man took everything away from me!" He slowly articulated his every word. "Tell me... Is that what a person should do his own brother?"
"See? Even you are speechless! This man has killed my mother! He has killed my father! He has taken away my family! Even Ruo'er! He has taken everything that was mine! He is not my brother! Did you hear me?" He laughed hysterically, sadness and anger clouded his eyes "Your mother meet ME first! She was supposed to be mine! MINE!"
"She never loved you! So, she never belonged to you!" Jiang Yue challenged him. How could Li Jun take away from him something that was not really Li Qiang's? Wasn't that a little absurd?
"IT'S ALL LIES!"
