The CEO's Woman

Chapter 455 Half in Anguish, Half in Hope

"You-" The first elder’s eyes were bloodshot, brimming with hostility. He shook with fury. "You are crazy!"

"I am" Jiang Yue only smiled as she let out a sigh. Antonio’s taunting words seemed to echo inside her mind. Fu Jin is dead. Fu Jin is dead.

"Jiang Yue... I think you need to take it easy." Peter said. He was the first person who actually recovered from the sudden explosion. "I... I think we could still talk this out like normal people."

Jiang Yue only scoffed at his words. "I am anything but normal." Then her gaze turned cold as she eyed the guards who were staring at her with hostility. "Tell your men to stay away from me. I am the only one who knows how to stop the attacks."

Peter instantly signaled his men not to make a move. Jiang Yue’s eyes were telling him that she was very serious in killing everyone. Peter can’t help but wonder if this was all because of Fu Jin. If it is then... his uncle made the wrong move in trying to kill him. Then he clenched his jaws as he thought about what Mia said earlier. Her grandfather would also attack the island today. If his guess was right then it should also be around at the same time that the Vercello’s will attack the island.

This only means that Fu Jin and his men would be outnumbered. There is just no way that he would survive the attack.

"Now... give me the address of the facility that is making those drugs." He heard Jiang Yue said. "Type it on your phone and give it to me."

Peter could only swallow the anger that is building inside him. What else could he do? Jiang Yue was like a ticking bomb right now. One wrong move and everyone will die without even knowing what killed them.

"Don’t give it to her," Antonio muttered as he slowly used his cane to get up from his seat. He then glared at Jiang Yue. "This is unexpected. I admit I was surprised."

"I want you to give me the address now. Then released my grandmother, uncle, and cousin. Prepare for a helicopter. Do that and I might reconsider not blowing everyone up!" Ignoring Antonio’s words, Jiang Yue’s voice echoed inside the hall.

"We are not as stupid as you think." Quan Lei answered. "Once you leave you could still choose to blow us up."

"Then let them leave. While I stay here with everyone." Jiang Yue said, her abrupt decision once again surprised the group of men in front of her. Why would she be willing to stay at times like this? She should save herself. Make her safety a priority.

Of course, these people do not have the term love and sacrifice in their minds. All of them grow up in a very competitive and deadly world that they already forgot the meaning of sacrifice. Most of them never experienced love and friendship as they were only competing and acquiring power and influence. For them, trivial emotions such as love and friendship do not exist.

Their worlds were full of betrayals and lies, making them fail to see the reason behind Jiang Yue’s actions. With these facts in mind, everyone looked at Jiang Yue as if she was a fool. If they were in her shoes, they would have asked to leave this place immediately and leave their relatives. And maybe... maybe... save them later. Of course, this is only if those relatives were still alive.

"If we do that... are you going to stop the explosion?" Peter asked. This is the most important thing right now.

"I will." Jiang Yue answered. At this point, Jiang Yue was already thinking of blowing everything up the moment that the helicopter will leave this place with Natalie, her uncle, and Wang Minghua. So what if she would die? Without Fu Jin, Jiang Yue won’t find happiness anyway. This is not desperation; she was just stating a fact. She could not live without him. NO... she would not live without him in this world.

Jiang Yue gave herself a mocking laugh. This was not foolishness. In fact, Jiang Yue’s reasoning was very simple. Once Fu Jin dies, Jiang Yue know that she could never be happy again. So what is the purpose of living a life full of sadness and misery? She would rather follow him. Half in anguish, half in hope that their souls would be bound and would meet once again in their next life.

This was only her greatest hope. To be with him... and only him.

Jiang then watched as Peter approached his uncle and whispered something in his ears. After a few minutes Antonio ordered his men to carry Wang Huo, Natalie and Wang Minghua towards the Helicopter. However, before they could touch Wang Huo... the latter suddenly let out a series of cough as he slowly jolted up. Confusion laced his face while he roamed his eyes around him.

"Uncle. I will explain later. I want you to accompany grandmother and Minghua out of this place." Jiang Yue instantly said the moment she met Wang Huo’s eyes. However, the latter did not make any move. He only stared at her before slowly looking at his mother, Natalie who was lying next to him.

After a few more seconds of silence, Wang Huo suddenly said, "No... I will accompany you. Let Wang Bolin, take mother and Minghua out of this place." Wang Huo might not know the entire story but he was smart enough to know that there are in a very dangerous situation right now.

He cannot leave Jiang Yue here alone.
