The CEO's Woman

"Answer me!" Jiang Yue demanded. "Why do I look like you?"

"Don't you think it's funny?"

Jiang Yue instantly frowned at his question. However, she chose not to answer.

"Imagine a father trying to kill his daughter," Li Qiang said. "That would be too sad."

"Is that a confirmation?" she asked, wanting to squeeze out the truth from Li Qiang. For some reason, she felt that Li Qiang could give her the answer she needed.

"Why don't you guess?" he challenged. "I know you are smart. So give me your best guess.."

Jiang Yue was deadpan at his words. She stared at the familiar features of the man in front of her, without her gray eyes and Wang Ruo's nose she would look exactly like him. There could only be one answer to her question, and that was-they are somehow related. No matter what the truth was, it had already been obvious that she was related to Li Qiang.

Was that the reason Li Qiang kidnapped her mother? Because they were in a relationship? So why did he hate Jiang Yue? If she was indeed his daughter, then why hate her to the point of attempting to kill her over and over again?

"No answer?" he smirked.

"Tell me the real purpose of your coming here," she asked. "I guess it's not just because of a story."

Li Qiang dramatically touched his chin and smiled at her. "It seems that you got most of your attitude from your mother. Even the way you speak is the same. Must be the genes."

"So, back to my question. What do you think Rose would do, once she discovered that she should die?" he repeated his question. "Maybe she should just kill herself, right?"

"How about you? What do you think? Do you think Rose should die?" she asked him back.

"Of course! And just because of that I would rather personally kill Rose." He answered, without batting an eye. "I mean... she is nothing but a person who always brings chaos. She should die."

"If she just stayed low-key and did not attract the attention of two kingdoms, then there was a possibility that she would still survive and live a simple, happy life. But she did the opposite. Now, she should face the consequences of her actions," he added.

"Consequences that she did not even know..." she interjected. "So why should she face it when she did not even know about its existence?"

"You have a point... still, the two kingdoms have already been at war because of her. And her death is the only thing that could protect the people she loves from that war." Li Qiang said before getting up.

Seeing this, Jiang Yue immediately got up and made a defensive stance.

"I already told you I won't kill you... now," he said, as he walked towards the door, "I want you to think it through. Think about my story... it will be useful in the future. For now, I will leave before your lover arrives."

Jiang Yue glared at Li Qiang, the moment he mentioned Fu Jin. Did Fu Jin know that Li Qiang was here? But how did Li Qiang know about that?

"Remember Jiang Yue, consequences need to be faced... and some of that consequences stem from just being born in this world. Just like Rose, she was unaware that her whole life, but she still needed to face the truth. Sooner or later... she needed to kill herself." Li Qiang said, moving his hands to open the door.

"Li Qiang?" Jiang Yue called, as she walked in front of Li Qiang. Li Qiang was almost a foot taller, than Jiang Yue. He also looked like he has the same height, if not taller than Fu Jin. Because of this, she lifted her head to met his brown eyes. "There is actually no need for Rose to die."

"You think so?" he lifted an eyebrow.

"Yes, I do," she nodded then declared, "If I were Rose, I would have just conquered the two kingdoms and ruled them by myself."

*HAHAHAHAHA*

Li Qiang's laughter echoed throughout Jiang Yue's office before his gaze turned serious once again. "What about the people who love Rose? Do you think they should sacrifice themselves while trying to protect her?"

"Who told you that she needed protection?"

"Are you saying that she can just do it by herself? Conquer kingdoms?" he scoffed. "You might be smart, but you are extremely naive if that is what you think."

"But your answer amused me," he added. "Because of that, I will give you a hint. Change all your security personnel. They are nothing but trash in uniforms," he smiled before he walked out of her office, leaving Jiang Yue in a daze.

Was Li Qiang talking about her? Was there a war going on because of her? Or was he just trying to confuse her? Make her doubt herself and make mistakes. If that was the case then he should have been hiding something or someone. He must have feared that she would discover that. That's why he personally came to see her.

After a few minutes, Jiang Yue finally woke up from her stupor and walked towards her table. The thought of Li Qiang's story never left her mind.

For Li Qiang, Rose needed to die. But why did she have to die if she could just conquer the two kingdoms and stop the war herself?

"As if it was that easy," she thought out loud while shaking her head. She would rather stop thinking about this and focus on her projects, so she could look for her mother.

However, before anything else, she needed to do one more thing: change all of the security personnel in this building.

She needed to clean this building, from head to toe and check if Li Qiang left something. If he could come in and out that easy, then there was a possibility that it was not the first time he did that. In fact, he could have used some high-end gadgets to monitor them. That could be the reason why he seemed to know everything.

She also needed to make sure that their cybersecurity system was not breached. That's right, she needed to fully check the system, make it safe and secure. She wanted things like this to never happen again.

With these in mind, Jiang Yue dialed Fu Jin's number to inform him about what had happened.
