Chapter 265 Together
Jiang Yue stared at Jia Yan’s back as he walked out of the villa and into his car. His back was a little slumped, obviously showing his grief over his father’s death.
"Do you believe him?" she asked Fu Jin who was standing beside her holding her waist.
"I’ve already asked Bei Ye to check out his words."
"What if it’s true?"
"Don’t worry so much. We can always deal with it together," Fu Jin answered while slowly patting her back.
"I should get back to Wu Minxia," she said before giving him a kiss on the check.
Fu Jin just nodded in response as he watched Jiang Yue walk towards the basement. "Bei Ye?"
"Yes, young master?"
"Did you find something?"
"Yes. Mr. Lu of the Wang Empire made a call to someone in this country, but it was too short to track. However, Bai’li was able to narrow down the location to the north part of the country. I checked the area and found that there are some private islands located up north."
"Check their owners. Li Qiang might be using another name so be very thorough."
"Yes, Young Master."
"That’s all... don’t forget to have Jia Yan’s father checked."
"I’m already on it."
"Good. You can go now," Fu Jin answered.
Bei Ye nodded before leaving without another word.
"Is there any news?" Fu Jin suddenly asked. A man in his thirties approached Fu Jin silently.
"Negative."
Fu Jin turned his attention to the man. "Bei Jinquan, why does it seem like you are slacking?"
"Young Master, this Li Qiang is really smart. He is known to kill everyone who is not of any use to him, so It is taking too long for me to find someone that can point us to his location," Bei Jinquan reasoned.
"I understand. Start searching the port in the northern area of this country."
"Yes, Young Master," Bei Jinquan answered before silently leaving Fu Jin alone.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yue was staring at Wu Minxia again, making Wu Minxia extremely uncomfortable.
"Stop staring at me like that!" she said. "I already said, I’m not talking!"
"One question," Jiang Yue said. "Who made your face look like mine?"
Seeing Wu Minxia in a daze, Jiang Yue chuckled. "Don’t get me wrong - it’s such a beautiful artwork... I wonder what would happen if I removed it from your face."
"You... You are crazy!"
"Crazy runs in your family, not in mine," Jang Yue retorted. "Since you don’t wanna talk then... I hope you’ve already said your goodbyes to your father," she said as she stood up and walked towards the door.
"Wait!" Wu Minxia said. She had thought that Jiang Yue would force her to say something, but she never expected her to just say alright and not even do something to her. "Don’t leave! Don’t... don’t hurt my father. I will tell you everything that I know!"
Jiang Yue smiled at Wu Minxia before standing in front of her. "Tell me everything that you know about Jiang Mian and the person who is backing her."
"I... I don’t know the person behind Jiang Mian. I haven’t seen him... but..."
"But what?"
"I heard him talk to Jiang Mian... it was a man."
"And?"
"Well... he said..." Wu Minxia stared at Jiang Yue, trying to observe her expression. She wanted to see her face the moment she told her about Wang Ruo. "They were arguing about a woman named Wang Ruo."
And just like what she’d expected, Jiang Yue raised an eyebrow at her. "Did you say Wang Ruo?"
In response, Wu Minxia nodded, her gaze never leaving Jiang Yue’s face. "Yes, I assumed that she is your mother since I heard Jiang Mian say that she would take everything from you, starting with your mother." This is not really what Wu Minxia had heard, but she was able to connect the dots and assumed that this was Jiang Mian’s goal for pretending to be Wang Ruo’s daughter; Jiang Mian wanted to take everything from Jiang Yue.
