Chapter 460 - Laid Everything Bare
Chapter 460 – Laid Everything Bare
Mingshen was dragged out of his chair as Jia grabbed his collar and pushed him closer to face her.
"What the hell is going on!?" Jia roared. Her face blackened with rage. "Why will she be kidnapped by Jiang Wei's enemy? How do you or him even know her!"
He saw her fist trembling that crumpled his neatly ironed shirt. Then he looked back at her and said, "That's a long story."
"Yang. Mingshen. Don't test my patience. Tell me what is happening…" Her jaw was clenched in anger, but her heart was pounding in fear.
"How about you first calm down and then we-"
"How about I first kill you and get all my answers from Jiang Wei himself?"
He raised his brow. He held her wrist holding his shirt and shook it off. He brushed his thumb on her reddened palm which was swelling a bit. Averse to this gesture, Jia angrily twisted her wrist to get free. But he didn't let her go.
"Yang Mingshen!"
"My Spicy," he smiled, "I faintly understand your love for your beloved sister. But no matter how riled up you are, the situation is not going to change. Lihua is not going to magically appear in front of you irrespective of your worry. So, let's just calm down. I am sure you would have seen kidnapping cases being a cop yourself."
She gritted her teeth.
"What do you tell their family?"
Of course, Jia knew the protocol. But when it came to one's own family, it was impossible not to panic.
Mingshen smirked in satisfaction. He released her hand, and pulled out a box. He took out one tube of ointment and circled the desk towards her. He grabbed her wrist again, making her throw a deadly glare at him. "Don't touch me!"
He chuckled. "You are my precious subject, Spicy. I cannot let you hurt yourself, or I will be at a loss."
She continued throwing curses at him while Mingshen, unfazed, rubbed her palm with the ointment. It gave out a cooling effect. Jia suspiciously looked at him.
"My palm has got nothing to do with my heart's condition. I don't understand where this 'concern' is coming from."
He paused for half a second and resumed as if he heard nothing.
Jia shook off her hand after he was done. Mingshen was right. Panic won't get her anywhere. She had to calm down.
"I am very calm right now, so you better start with your story, and cut short to the parts that I need to know. No unnecessary commentary, or I will kill you."
He smiled. "My Spicy is always so-to-the-point. I like it. So, it's like this – The Mafia King and Lihua fell in love. They got married. Then they got divorced. Now, she is pregnant. And of course, kidnapped."
Jia froze hard. She stared at him as if she was hearing some joke.
"Praise me, Spicy! Was I not to-the-point?" Mingshen beamed and looked expectant.
Jia was still staring at him, unable to understand on which point she should express her shock.
Her sworn enemy and her sister fell in love? Married? Divorced? And now a child?
When did this happen? How did this happen? Was it some kind of revenge by Wei because Jia had tried to expose him? But didn't he already 'kill' her? So, why would he approach Lihua?
"If this is a joke then you better get ready to take your last breath because it's really not funny," she said in a quiet, threatening tone.
"Well, it's not any joke."
"…Explain. What the hell is going on?"
Didn't my Spicy want just to-the-point answers? He sighed. My Spicy is always so unpredictable.
Before she would really murder him, Mingshen told her everything she needed to know. Somehow…he didn't know why…but he hid the part about him erasing her memories. He just made up a different story about it.
"So this is all," he finished. Now, he waited for the volcano to erupt.
Her precious sister got entangled with Jiang Wei, who murdered her parents? Her sister was lied to and deceived. How will Jia tolerate this?
Jia stared at him. She tapped her finger on the desk. "Did you tamper with her memories?"
His brow twitched.
"Quite a nice coincidence. Lihua was closer to finding the truth about 'my death', and then as if God listened to Jiang Wei's prayers, she suddenly lost her memories about me. Was it really God or Yang Mingshen?"
He pouted his lips to the other side and said nothing.
Honestly, Jia's lid of patience was on the verge of bursting out. In just almost eight months, the situation had taken such a drastic turn for Lihua. Her whole life went upside down in such a short amount of time.
Jia trembled. Lihua wasn't just kidnapped now. She was kidnapped in a pregnant condition. That made the situation even more precarious. She and her child – both were in danger now.
Even though Mingshen had explained everything, Jia felt as if she had too many questions. Never in her life did she imagine Lihua and their parents' murderer falling in love. She was furious. Enraged.
Now, she had another strong reason to kill Wei.
He dared to target my sister!? Wasn't 'killing' me enough that that bastard touched Lihua!
Her hands were shaking, and her blood was boiling with a murderous desire burning through it.
"Yang Mingshen…Trust me when I say that you and Jiang Wei…I will kill you two with my own hands. Mark my words…" her voice thundered in a low voice. "I won't spare you. You messed with my sister. Your end would be the worst of the worst."
Mingshen leaned and smiled. "I already said, didn't I? It is an honor for me to die by your hands."
She shut her eyes.
Love, marriage, divorce – Jia had to deal with it later.
The most important thing was rescuing Lihua.
She opened her eyes, calm, cold and determined.. "Now, tell me about this bastard Jiang Shan who dared to take my sister away."
