Chapter 482 – The Mafia King’s Confrontation With Jiang Zhen (5)
The gangs cheered at his declaration. Jiang Zhen laughed loudly and walked towards Wei. He tilted his head, his eyes filled with disdain for him.
"Ex-Mafia King, Jiang Wei. How does it feel to witness my glorious moment? Just look all around you. They have submitted their loyalty to me. What are you left with? The Underworld is mine now. Tomorrow, Jiang Industries will be rightfully mine too."
Jiang Xiuying glowered at him. "Jiang Zhen, don't be so arrogant! Do you think the Underworld and Jiang Industries were created by Jiang Zemin and Jiang Shan? Heh. They were too busy fighting for power. It was Weisheng who brought them to glory! Stepping into business was his idea. Reforming the Underworld from that garbage world was his doing. Don't think that you can hog his legacy! Everything that you see today is because Weisheng laid the roots and my children and grandchildren grew them into such a wonderful tree. And now you act as if you are the heir? Don't make me laugh."
Zhao Weisheng faintly smiled. "Don't waste your breath on someone like Zhen, Xiuying."
She bit her lip. "Weisheng, it's your hard work. It was your capabilities that brought us here. The whole Jiang family was nothing but rotten people to their core. They could have never come this far all by themselves! And now…"
Jiang Zhen raised his brow. "Come on, Old Madam. Don't be so harsh. Don't forget that Zhao Weisheng was just a butler in our house."
She sneered. "And a mere butler was way smarter and capable than your rotten family. All your family knew was to abuse women and treat them as child-bearing machines. Their children were just tools for them to increase their power. Do you think that with this attitude, Jiang Zemin or Jiang Shan could have gotten any far?"
Jia heard their conversation with curiosity. Mingshen had only told her about Jiang Shan and his connection with the Jiang family. But she didn't know that the Old Madam of the Jiang family loved the butler of that house and had children with him.
Jiang Zhen laughed. "If my grand-uncle wouldn't have plotted to kill my grandfather, we would have gone way farther than now. Look. Weren't you so proud of your grandson here? But look at Wei now. He is so pathetic. He lost his position as the Mafia King. He will lose Jiang Industries and…now he will lose his ex-wife too."
Wei shot an expressionless but murderous gase at him.
"I brought Song Lihua here to show you just how weak and helpless you are. You even lost your woman to me. What can be more embarrassing than this?"
Jia's gaze turned extremely icy.
How dare he talk about my sister like that? I should cut his vocal chords that dared to spout such nonsense!
A glint flashed in Wei's eyes as he glanced towards Shen Yang. It was quick and unnoticeable.
"I won't lose my Lihua."
Lihua trembled. Her heart would always flutter when Wei address her as his woman. The sincerity and love in his voice always broke her defenses.
Whenever Jiang Zhen said so, her stomach churned in disgust, and she felt like puking.
Wei stared at him. "I will take her back, and I will kill you with my own hands."
Those were just simple words, yet there was an insurmountable pressure and resilience behind every word.
Jia narrowed her eyes.
She recalled that Jiang Wei who shot bullet in her chest and seemed remorseless for her parents' murder.
Now, there was this Jiang Wei in front of her, who seemed extremely frightening for Lihua's sake.
How could those two be the same?
Jiang Zhen leaned. "Really? How will you do that?"
Wei didn't respond. This was the perfect chance for Shen Yang to execute his plan. He waited for him, yet there was no sign of any attack, which made Wei's brows slightly furrow.
What was Shen Yang waiting for?
Jiang Zhen said, "You look so confident. Are you perhaps… waiting for Shen Yang to attack me?"
The other family members widened their eyes. Jiang Fai threw a quick glance at Jiang Lanying. Shock was visible on his face. Just an hour ago, Jiang Ruiling had said how Shen Yang and Wei might have planned something to take him down.
But then how did he know about him?
Wei stared at him, which only made Jiang Zhen laugh. "Are you surprised to know how I came to know about it? Well, let me tell you."
He clapped his hands once, and a masked guard stepped into the front. He stood beside Jiang Zhen in attention.
Wei obviously knew he was Shen Yang.
He pulled out his mask and showed his face.
"Boss!"
Silence.
Jiang Zhen scratched his chin and lazily asked, "A quick question, Jiang Wei. Who do you think Shen Yang called his Boss right now?"
Wei said nothing.
"Was it you?"
No response.
"Or was it me?"
No response.
Lihua, on the other side, was totally confused.
What is going on? Did Wei plan something with Shen Yang?
Jiang Zhen smiled. "Look around you carefully. Didn't you tell Shen Yang to replace all my guards with your factions that were still loyal to you, perhaps hiding somewhere? And then you will defeat me?"
There was a long silence.
Jiang Weiyuan narrowed his eyes at Shen Yang. "Shen Yang, what is happening?"
He said nothing.
"Why are you standing over there?"
No response.
Jiang Zhen burst into laughter, seeing their disbelief expressions. "Ah, this is so amusing. Jiang Wei. Didn't you wonder about something?"
Wei stared at him.
"There were actually two people missing from your group, but I only asked about Jiang Ruiling, right?"
His expression was grim.
"I never asked where Shen Yang was. And I should have been more worried about his disappearance because he is the Chief, after all?"
The air turned suddenly heavy as they finally understood what was wrong.
"Jiang Wei, you are so pitiful. You trusted your Chief so much, but…he was my mole all along.. Xian Xue was never the culprit."
