Chapter 479 – The Mafia King’s Confrontation With Jiang Zhen (2)
Jiang Ninghong widened her eyes. She looked around and indeed didn't find her daughter anywhere.
"Weiyuan, Ruiling isn't here…"
Jiang Weiyuan blinked his eyes. He glanced at Jiang Fai and Jiang Lanying. "Wasn't Ruiling with you?"
Jiang Lanying shook her head. "She was before but then she went back to her room to fetch her phone. Then I thought that she was with you Mom."
Jiang Li straightened up, alert. "Fai! Where is Ruiling?"
Jiang Fai stammered. "I-I don't know. Like sister-in-law Lanying, I thought she was with the elders in the other car."
Wei narrowed his eyes.
Jiang Li's face darkened. He glared at Jiang Zhan and roared furiously. "Jiang Zhan! What did you do to my sister!?"
"Didn't you just hear me asking the question of where she was? If not for that, you still wouldn't have realized that she was missing."
He smiled at Wei. "Jiang Wei. Is this your plot? Did you do something to make her disappear?"
He said nothing. But a thousand scenarios ran in his mind. Jiang Ninghong hastily asked, "Wei, is this true?"
He blankly shook his head.
Jiang Zhen laughed. "Hahaha. I don't care if this is some useless plot or not. It doesn't matter anyway. Even if she isn't here, it won't change the fact that I have become the Mafia King."
Wei swept a quick gaze along the guards and found one particular guard clenching his fists in silence. He knew that he was Shen Yang behind the mask. From his reaction, it seemed that he was just as shaken to hear the news.
Jiang Zhen almost pounced on him. "Shut up, you bastard! You are the only one who could do this! Hand my sister back or I will tear you apart!"
"What will I gain out of her only taking her away? She is useless. Oh, I forgot. I lament that she is not here. I was going to hand her over to some of my men here to play with. Such a shame."
"JIANG ZHEN!"
The moment he lunged at him, a glint passed through Wei's eyes, and he quickly pulled him back.
*BANG*
A bullet narrowly passed his abdomen.
"Li!!!" Jiang Lanying and Jiang Ninghong shrieked.
A guard had fired a bullet, and if not for Wei, it would have pierced Jiang Li's stomach.
Jiang Lanying cried. "Li. Are you okay?"
"Tch…" Jiang Zhen clicked his tongue. "Why did you have to interfere, Wei? This ceremony will look bland if there is no blood spilled~"
Jiang Weiyuan helped his son. His gaze was extremely icy as if he would freeze this whole base.
Talking about his daughter's dignity like that…he wanted to kill him with his own hands.
"Jiang Zhen," the quieter his voice was, the grimmer the air turned. "Son dare talk about Ruiling like that. You wouldn't want to mess with me."
"Really? What would you do?" He smirked.
"You wouldn't want to know that. I am someone who killed my own father in cold blood. You can only expect it getting worse fro you."
Jiang Zhen raised his brow.
Old Madam was deathly worried too. She couldn't think of any reason for Jiang Ruiling to disappear. But she could only comfort her daughter-in-law with Jiang Yubi.
Jiang Zhen's phone buzzed with a message.
'Boss! That woman is nowhere in the villa. We searched the whole house."
He squinted his gaze.
Then where would she have gone?
He messaged back.
'Keep searching for her.'
He smiled. "Anyway. I cannot ruin this lovely day just because of a measly disappearance. But I cannot start it without bringing my esteemed guests here."
He signaled one of the guards, and he left.
A minute later, Wei froze as he heard a familiar voice.
"Hey! Don't touch me! I will walk by myself!"
He slowly raised his head, and his gaze met Lihua's, who just entered with Lu Bojing and Qingqing. They looked back at the Jiang family in turn and stiffened.
Tears pooled in Jiang Yubi's eyes as she whispered, "Lihua dear…"
Jiang Weizhe was also relieved to see her alright. He softly said, "She is okay. Don't cry."
Lihua trembled upon seeing Wei. She instinctively took a step forward when a guard blocked her way. Lu Bojing shook his hand away. "D-Don't stand so close to her…o-or I will break your hand."
Qingqing seemed satisfied by his threat.
Good. You should threaten more and fear less.
The guard's expression turned ugly.
This brat! How dare he?
Wei…Wei is here…
Her eyes glistened with tears seeing her whole family. Only a few days seemed like a few months to Lihua. She was so close to Wei, yet she couldn't run to his side.
She glared at Jiang Zhen for putting them all through such misery.
He chuckled. "Why are you throwing daggers at me? You should thank me for giving you this last chance."
Hearing his voice, Wei's countenance darkened. He clenched his fists, and his breaths were uneasy, wanting to give him the worst death possible.
"So how do you feel, Jiang Wei? Seeing your ex-wife by my side, what emotions are you going through? Are you angry? Do you want to kill me?"
But no matter how much he provoked him, Wei didn't let out a single word.
Lu Bojing whispered to Lihua. "Mr. Jiang seems c-calm somehow…"
Lihua replied back, not tearing her eyes away from him. "No. He is really furious right now. His expression says it all," her eyelashes trembled. "Wei…he must have definitely planned for something. He wouldn't let this chance go to waste. By the way…do you see Shen Yang and Jiang Ruiling anywhere?"
He shook his head. "I-I don't…"
She noticed Jiang Ninghong's pale face, and Jiang Li's expression as if he would go berserk any moment.
Why do they look so worried…? What happened?
Her heart beat faster in fear.
Is it related to Shen Yang and Jiang Ruiling's disappearance?
Jiang Zhen brought everyone's attention back to him. "Now, now. There is one important person still remaining to welcome. It is such a long time for him to meet his family~ I thought why not include him in this celebration too?"
Another guard entered, bringing a familiar face with him.
As soon as that man stepped inside, Jiang Xiuying, aka Old Madam, took a sharp gasp in disbelief. Tears fell down her eyes before she knew it. Her lips trembled as she whispered her love's name,
"Wei…. Weisheng…"
