Chapter 396 Weakness
Wang Ruo’s eyes were warm as she stared at her daughter. This was it. Just like what she expected, her daughter was staring coldly at her. Just like in her nightmares. She would hate her and walk away. Maybe, even forget that she had a criminal mother.
She slowly nodded at Jiang Yue’s question. "I did not know that we... I killed them. When I found out... I was already with your father and...I started looking for evidence... then soone just started hunting us." She made a deliberate pause. "All my colleagues are dead because I... I went looking for evidence. I was so stupid to go against the people who could destroy countries with their missiles and obliterate island overnight."
"I am a murderer. I have killed those kids and my colleagues... I..." she lowered her head, trying her best to not break down in front of her daughter. The mories of her past were floating in her mind. Li Qiang and she were the only remaining people who knew the identities of the people who had ordered them to do that.
That was also the reason she couldn’t kill Li Qiang no matter what. They were the only proof that soone else had ordered that mission. Soone...
Wang Ruo closed her eyes as she waited for Jiang Yue’s to be disgusted and make remarks about her. That was her cri. She should accept the consequence of her sins. However, nothing ca... she held her breath as she slowly lifted her head. To her surprise, Jiang Yue’s head was also lowered, her hand was clutching the gun, making her knuckles white.
So, this was it?!
Would her own daughter kill her?
"So, you want to kill my mother because... she is my father’s weakness?" Jiang Yue’s voice suddenly echoed inside the bunker. It was followed by dead silence.
Gideon did not choose to answer her, instead, he tried to carefully observe her reaction. But with her head lowered, Gideon failed to see the expression of her face.
"Child, being with this type of woman will only hurt you. As a ruler, you should not have any weakness. You should be firm. Soone indestructible. Look at your father. Every ti your mother’s na is ntioned he will flinch. He did not even hesitate to run off... and leave the Li family when he found out that there was a possibility that your mother was in the West." He explained.
"If I am right, it was also you and the Li family who made him think that my mother was in the west, yes?" She asked directly.
"It was nothing but a test." He imdiately answered. "Who would have known that he would run away and leave us again?" That was the fact, the Li Family was not aware of. It was actually Gideon who told Li Jun about Wang Ruo’s possible location. He just wanted to know if Gideon would still leave the family... and he did.
"So you did it because you see my mother as a loose end, soone that can be used to control my father. Am I right?" She asked as she looked at Gideon. Her gaze turned sharp as a realization dawned on her, slowly making her heart beat faster. "What about Fu Jin?"
She gritted her teeth before she added. "Do you see him as a weakness as well?"
Gideon squinted his eyes at Jiang Yue. "Of course, he is. He is a threat, through and through."
Jiang Yue paled at Gideon’s words. "Then..." her eyes widened in horror as she thought of Gideon’s words just now. She then made her way towards her computer but was directly blocked by Simon.
"What are you doing?" She looked at Gideon, then at Simon. "Let through!" She commanded.
"Fu Jin’s death is nothing but a warning, my little Queen. If you disobey us... your whole family will suffer. Your grandfather... Uncle... Your little cousin." Gideon gave her a creepy smile.
"You see now? You will beco the Queen of this country! Conquer the Vercello Family and lead us!"
"Whether you like it or not!" He added.
However, his words had already turned into echo inside Jiang Yue’s mind. The atmosphere of the room beca even colder as she slowly turned her head towards Gideon. Her eyes were bloodshot and chilly. Even Wang Ruo and Li Qiang instantly felt the murderous aura, seeping out of Jiang Yue.
"What did you say?" She asked. "Tell , Gideon..." Jiang Yue paused as she tightened her grip on the gun in her hand. "Did you just say ’Fu Jin’s death’?"
Stillness rolled over the entire room after Jiang Yue’s words. A chilly air seed to hit Gideon, making him tremble. For so reason, the current version of Jiang Yue seed a little scarier than the usual. However, he still tried to compose himself as he looked straight into her eyes.
"Yes... my dear, you heard it right. Fu Jin will also die tonight."
