Chapter 589 The Mafia King at death's door

??The smell of the ominous bullet powder seeped in the air mixed with blood a few seconds later. A sharp silence befell as Wei's white shirt was beginning to soak in crimson.

??Wei's eyes were slightly widened, but his eyelashes soon began trembling despite his plain countenance. The fear struck him.

??Not for his own life. But due to the regret that he might not be able to meet Lihua ever again. He might not be able to hold his children in his arms. He was waiting to unite with his family for so long.

??That deadly feeling pained his heart even more than the bullet.

??In that one whole second, Wei lived his entire life once again right from the moment he met Lihua until now. Her face flashed before his eyes, a soft smile curling his lips up.

??"Lihua…"

??That was the word that escaped his lips before he collapsed.

??Jia and Chang Fang witnessed the scene in horror. Their breaths had stopped in their throats.

??"HAHAHAHA!" Jiang Zhen crazily laughed as he saw Wei's body sprawled on the floor. "I won! I won! He is dead! Now all of you…all of you are dead!"

??Jiang Zhen had lost it. His eyes glinted with madness. His laughter was maniac and sadistic as he held the gun in his hands.

??"You dare bring Jiang Zhen to his knees! You fucker! You thought you won! No! I won! I am the winner! I am always the winner!" A wave of satisfaction filled his heart, watching Wei at death's door. He was trembling with the bullet in his thigh which Wei shot before, but he didn't care.

??He didn't feel any pain. He was only focused on killing Wei and defeating him once and for all. Before that goal, everything felt numb.

??He pointed his gun at Jia and Chang Fang. "Now, I will kill you two. Then I will kill that bastard from the Cheng family. Then Charles and his fucking girlfriend. Then Yang Mingshen…I will kill Wei's whole family! And then…" he licked his lips, "I will make Lihua mine. Oh no. First I will kill her bastard child."

??Jia froze.

??"I will kill her child right in front of her," he kept laughing loudly, "Then…Then I will make her mine. I will finally bed the woman I wanted for so long! I will sle-"

??*BANG*

??The moment Mingshen rushed to the scene, puzzled upon hearing the gunshot sound, a second bullet rang in the air that hit Jiang Zhen in his stomach.

??Jiang Zhen froze. He didn't realize what happened for several long seconds. His eyes blankly stared ahead.

??Then as the pain shot up from his abdomen, he lowered his in a slow motion to see his stomach bleeding. He rapidly blinked his eyes, studying a bullet hole in his stomach.

??How…How…?

??The bullet was shot from the back. Stumbling, he turned clutching his stomach, his expression twisting in pain which was more severe due to the long dagger bruise that Charles drew on his face.

??His gaze fell upon a certain woman holding a gun in her hands that tremblingly pointed at him.

??Jiang Hua's tears slipped on her cheeks, not due to grief and anguish over shooting her husband but all those horrendous words he spoke just now.

??She had reached her limit. She had reached it long back when Jiang Zhen screamed that he wished Ruru to die the evening he got a seizure. He wanted his only son to be dead.

??Yet she stayed back with him today with the last hope something might change.

??Jiang Hua laughed at her stupidity.

??Why did I bother to stay back for him? I should have left with Lihua last night itself…

??She thought that at least now, he would have admitted his defeat. Yet he shot Wei. He threatened to kill Lihua's children and…

??As a woman and as a mother, the bucket of her patience and dignity finally tipped off. He wanted his own son to be dead and now he wanted to kill Lihua's children too? Snatch a mother from her happiness? Ruin her respect?

??She recalled all those women she met during Lihua's campaign. They showed courage to rebel against their cheating and abusive partners.

??Jiang Hua didn't realize it when she grabbed the gun from the other guard's hand who stood rooted just like Jia and Chang Fang and unable to process the drastic shift in the scene. She took the gun and aimed at his chest.

??But her hands were trembling. Tears blurred her vision. The years of her failed marriage flashed across her eyes. The hope that he would change one day but which never came to fruition.

??She had loved Jiang Zhen. From the bottom of her heart, she wished to be his wife. She desired his love. But he kept on trampling on her hopes and wishes. Every single time.

??But today, it had to end. His tyranny had to end once and for all.

??She had pointed the gun at his chest, but her aim stumbled due to her trembling hands, and the bullet hit him on his stomach.

??Ruru watched his mother shoot the bullet with absolutely no expression on his face. His gaze was unreadable.

??Jiang Zhen stared at her in a daze. Seeing the gun in his hands, anger and disbelief blasted within him.

??"You…bitch…"

??He coughed blood and collapsed, his eyes glaring at her as if he would strangle her the cruelest death possible.

??Mingshen ran past Jiang Zhen and bent on his knees to Wei's level. His breaths were going weaker and weaker.

??Jia's vision went hazy, watching Wei gasping for his life. Her mind went empty, thinking about Lihua and her unborn nephews and nieces.

??Lihua…No…Lihua is waiting for him…

??Mingshen's eyes shone with extreme iciness. "What happened?"

??Chang Fang shook hard, tears pooling out of his eyes. "Boss…Boss!!!! T-that bastard suddenly grabbed the gun and aimed at her accidentally."

??Mingshen froze.

??"B-Boss came in between and pushed her out of the way a-and…"
