"We were in love!" Li Qiang's voice echoed inside the bunker! "She was mine! Until this man came and ruined everything!"
"Stop being delusional. If she loved you in the first place, then why is he my father and not you?" Jiang Yue ridiculed Li Qiang.
"You are crazy!"
"Shut your mouth! You don't know anything!" Li Qiang shouted, trying to control his anger. It had always been his weakness. The fact that Wang Ruo had chosen this man over him was something that had been haunting him in his nightmares till the present day.
Wang Ruo was someone that Li Qiang always wanted since they had started working together. She was beautiful, smart and brave. She was just perfect. When Wang Ruo was only starting, Li Qiang was always there for her. He watched her stumble and endure the pain of their training. He watched her laugh and appreciate life.
Wang Ruo was his happy pill. She was his everything. Until one day that incident happened…
The incident that changed her.
"Oh… is that so? Then, tell me Li Qiang… How could my father take something away from you if it was already yours?" Li Qiang narrowed his eyes when he saw Jiang Yue's provoking smirk. "If my mother loved you, then why did he run away from you after she woke up? She could have chosen to stay with you and never reveal herself to me."
"So, why did she left you and came to see me?" She asked. For some reason, she felt like she needed to push him just a little more to make Li Qiang blurt out the whole truth. He should have known the reason her mother ran away at that time.
He must have known something really important.
"I said shut your trap!" Li Qiang pointed his gun at Jiang Yue before he pulled the trigger.
"BANG"
"BANG"
Jiang Yue closed her eyes and waited for the pain that never came. She abruptly opened her eyes only to see Li Qiang's gun on the floor. While the latter was clutching his hand, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at the person behind Jiang Yue.
"I have already told you not to hurt my daughter, you dimwit!" A cold feminine voice echoed before the shortest guard stepped out from Jiang Yue's back.
"Ruo'er?" Li Qiang's voice was hoarse. "How e you are here?"
"Why wouldn't I be here?" She sneered. "I already told you that I will protect her. Even from you if it's needed..."
Everyone in the room looked at the man next to Jiang Yue. He was not that tall, but no matter how much they looked, there was nothing feminine about him. Even Carlisle and the Prime Minister were rendered speechless.
Who was this woman?
Just what was happening there?
"Ruo'er, I…" Li Qiang's gaze turned gentle as he looked at the man beside Jiang Yue. "Why have you e here? Do you know that they hate you? You shouldn't have e to this country... Let's go. e with me. I promise I won't hurt her... Once you e with me."
"You can't protect me…" Wang Ruo said before giving Jiang Yue another gun. The latter just silently accepted it.
"Let her go. My daughter does not belong in this world. If you want to annihilate the Li Family, go on and do it. But don't you dare to involve my daughter!"
Li Qiang did not answer Wang Ruo, as his gaze was glued to Gideon. "So you don't care if I kill him?"
"Why would I care?" She asked.
"You know that I can stop this. I can spare this man and Jiang Yue. Just e with me..." Once again, Li Qiang pleaded Wang Ruo, his eyes full of hope.
"Let my daughter leave and I will e with you," she said coldly, her gaze almost freezing Li Qiang's heart.
