The CEO's Woman

Jiang Yue was fidgeting as she sat across Fu Jin on the private plane to B Country. Her mind was in shambles, almost as if someone went and rearrange her brain without her knowledge. She could not think thoroughly. All she could think of was the messy apartment of Wang Ruo and her last message telling her to take care.

How could she be so stupid to think that she could keep her mother safe while she was away? People must have noticed some signs, the extra woman accompanying Wang Ruo, their closeness. Maybe some even notice the way she smiles around her.

"Hey… have some tea... Worrying too much won't get you anywhere." Fu Jin handed her a cup of freshly brewed tea. "My men already secured the place. We can go there after we land.."

Jiang Yue could only nod before taking a sip at the hot tea. "How about my grandfather and uncle? Your family?"

"Don't worry about them their security right now is very tight. Not even a fly could go in and out of the place without being detected."

She let out a sigh of relief when she heard Fu Jin's words. "Please pass me my laptop," she said and watched as Fu Jin passed her the laptop.

Jiang Yue then started to check Wang Ruo's apartment once again. She clenched her teeth when she saw a framed photograph of Long Die, Shen Rong and her, shattered on the floor.

Whoever did this should pay, she thought before shutting her laptop.

"How many hours before we land?" she asked.

"Two hours. Why don't you close your eyes and try to sleep?"

Jiang Yue nodded. "I will," she said before closing her eyes.

Her husband is right. The only thing that she could do right now is to stop worrying and concentrate. She needed to recharge her mind so she could think properly.

Jiang Yue felt Fu Jin kissed her forehead before she drifted off to sleep.

….

Both Fu Jin and Jiang Yue was standing in the middle of Wang Ruo's apartment.

"Once again tell me what happened. Who attacked you?" Fu Jin asked Wang Ruo's three bodyguards who had nothing but bruises on their body.

"We don't know young master. It was too sudden. We did not see anyone." the woman who was accompanying Wang Ruo inside the house answered.

"No shadows? No steps? Just nothing?" Jiang Yue asked.

The woman nodded. "I was washing the dishes when it happened. But I did not hear anyone approaching me. I also did not hear anything out of the ordinary. All I heard was the news from the TV."

"How about you?" Fu Jin asked the other two bodyguards.

"We were staying across the apartment and did not notice anything." the shorter guard said as he lowered his head. "We just… we lost consciousness and woke up when some of our brothers had woken us up."

"We don't even know when did we lose our consciousness." the taller guard said, embarrassed by their actions.

"When was the last time that anyone of you saw Long Die?" Jiang Yue asked.

"After we had our dinner. She took a bath while I washed our plates. And that was the last time that I saw her. That's around seven in the evening." the woman answered.

"Last we saw her was in the afternoon. She was buying some groceries and supplies for the house." the taller guard answered.

After hearing their words, Jiang Yue and Fu Jin immediately went outside of the apartment and straight into the car.

Jiang Yue then opened her laptop and started reviewing the CCTV inside the house that showed Long Die arriving after her groceries. She watched as her mother took out all the supplies and placed them to their designated places.

"She staged it." Jiang Yue said while clenching her jaw. "My mother staged this and wanted to me think that she was kidnapped." she declared.

"How could you say that?" he asked.

"The supplies that she bought." Jiang Yue answered. "She bought hair colors and other chemicals that would make her hair curly. Her disguised as Long Die was already perfect. Why would she need hair colors?"

"Aside from that… what kind of kidnapper have the time to erase all the CCTV before leaving?" she asked as rage started to build up inside her. Once again, the King's words echoed inside her mind. "The place was too chaotic as if many people attacked her all at once. She might even want me to think that she is already dead!"

"She is a liar." she thought out loud. "And her skills are getting a little sloppy."

"That or she wanted to disappear to protect you." Fu Jin stated. "If she indeed had enemies that she is so afraid of.. Then there is a possibility that this is her only way to get away from you. Make you think that she was kidnapped or dead."

"Nonsense." Jiang Yue blurted. "If she wanted to keep me safe then she should have told me her secrets and not let me run around without knowing a thing! She wanted me to look like a headless chicken!"
