The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 478 - The Mafia Kings Confrontation With Jiang Zhen (1)

Four days later.

Jiang villa.

The air was thick with tension and stress as today was finally the day when Jiang Zhen would announce his sovereignty over the Underworld. For the Jiang family, the last few days felt nothing but prison to them. Jiang Zhan's guards had a tight watch over them.

Jiang Fai felt at edge. He was clasping his hands together in nervousness.

"Cousin Wei would have definitely planned something, right? I am so scared. He hasn't come out of his room the whole time."

Jiang Li, who had a somber expression, kept quiet.

"Cousin Li. Did cousin Wei not say anything about it? It's so silent…"

Jiang Li coldy said, "I don't know."

Jiang Fai was aggrieved. "Why be at mad at me, cousin Li! You are so mean!"

Jiang Lanying quickly pulled his arm and said, "Li. FaiFai is only concerned. Don't take it out on him."

He gritted his teeth. "How dare those guards threaten me with you!?"

It was two days ago that Jiang Li wanted to head out but was barred from doing so. When the argument with the guards escalated into a fist fight, the guards didn't back off from forcefully bringing Jiang Lanying and threatening to kill her.

His gaze was filled with anger and frost. "I will kill those guards personally by my hands. Every one of them…"

"Li, don't be hasty. Until this situation overturns, we cannot act with audacity. I know it's difficult," she pursed her lips, "But I am sure after today, everything will be back to how it was. Wei would have thought of something for sure."

"Yeah, sister-in-law," Jiang Ruiling walked down the steps and smiled. "Cousin Wei will definitely get us out of this mess."

Jiang Li glanced at her and nodded. He hadn't seen Shen Yang for four days now. So, he understood that Wei must have planned something with him. And he was sure that today would be a showdown.

That's what he was waiting for.

Just once we grab that bastard's head, I will show him what it means to mess with me! They dared touch Lanying!

Jiang Lanying looked up at Jiang Ruiling. "How is Aunt Yubi?"

"She is very worried. First, sister-in-law is kidnapped, and now cousin Wei refuses to step out of the room. He has hardly eaten anything. Uncle Weizhe is blaming cousin for making his wife cry."

Jiang Fai chuckled. "Well…"

"Oh I forgot my phone in my room. Let me go back. Shen Yang might have dropped a message."

She hurriedly went back to her room and found her phone on the table. She picked it up and unlocked it but was dismayed upon not seeing any message from Shen Yang.

She sighed. As her gaze fell on the mirror, she jolted sharply and gasped in shock. Her lips parted, and she was about to scream when the figure behind her dashed towards her and covered her mouth with his hands.

"Mmph! Mmmmhhh!"

Xian Xue narrowed his eyes. His fingers had tightly clenched her jaw, making her unable to speak.

"Don't sweat it, young mistress."

Jiang Ruiling flailed her arms and legs to protest, but it didn't have any effect on him. He sneered. "You really think your measly moves can affect me?"

Her heart raced in fear.

W-What is Xian Xue doing here? Hadn't he escaped from the base? Why would he be back in Jiang villa?

"I can see many questions hovering in your eyes, young mistress, and I will definitely answer them," he smiled, "Taking my own sweet time, I will definitely answer every one of your questions. But we are short on time, unfortunately."

She violently shook her head, and she tried to make some noise to alert the people outside.

"Don't bother. Let's go, young mistress. I would love to see your so-called fiance's expression when he finds that you are missing."

"Mmmhh!!!"

Xian Xue tapped the back of her neck with a karate chop, and she immediately fainted. He stared at her, and his eyes flickered with an unknown emotion.

---

The Jiang family was brought to one of Wei's bases that was his headquarters too. It was the biggest and the most posh base among all.

And at the center of it was Jiang Zhen.

"Welcome."

Wei, who led at the front, simply stared at him in silence.

Jiang Zhen chuckled. "Is this how you will treat me, cousin Wei? Aren't we brothers? So why do you show such hostility?"

Wei said nothing.

"As brothers, isn't it natural for us to share our assets?"

He said nothing.

Jiang Fai clenched his jaw and roared. "Shut up! Don't call yourself our brother! We don't have such a disgusting brother like you!"

Jiang Xiurang pulled him back. "FaiFai," she glared at Jiang Zhan, "Don't waste your breath on a monster."

Jiang Zhen raised his brow. "Aunt Xiurang, is it?" He clicked his tongue. "Truly, you are so annoying. You were better off at Li Tingzhe's house, living with him and his mistress."

She froze.

"But oh well, I have many more ways to deal with your mother-son pair. There is no hurry, right Old Madam?"

Old Madam trembled. She curled her fingers into a fist. "Where is Lihua?"

"Oh? So interesting! This is the first question you have to ask of me? About Song Lihua? I thought you will be more interested in finally seeing your lover~"

She stiffened.

Weisheng…

"Maybe the long years of separation have faded away your love, is it?"

She smiled. "Fade? A person like you who doesn't understand the meaning of love shouldn't talk about such matters. It feels disgraceful. Don't humiliate a pure emotion such as love."

Jiang Zhen laughed it off. "Love? It's so useless. And who is the best example of this other than you? It was love that made you weak and forced to act as my puppet for all these years. It is Wei's love for Lihua that is not making him act out of line, otherwise who in the world had the power to stop the Mafia King? But I did. Only because you all grew so weak in love. Love is simply a liability, nothing else. The only things that don't become our weakness are power and wealth. The more, the better."

He then tilted his head and narrowed his eyes. "By the way....where is my dear cousin, Jiang Ruiling?"
