The Typhoon's Dangerous Wife

Chapter 348 - Long Time No See

"Long time no see, Mr. Ming!" 

The glass fell from Ming Ze's hand as a smiling Long Jie pointed a gun at his throat. 

"Guards!" He shouted but to no avail. 

"My wife is handling your guards," Long Jie answered him with an even more wide smile. "You see, she is angry at me. And your poor guards are gonna experience what it feels like to die at the hands of a frustrated and angry Zhenyi." 

"What do you want Mr. Long?" Ming Ze calmly asked. He was too calm for a person whose legs were almost in the grave. It was as if death didn't bother him. However, it was not the case. He just believed that Long Jie or his wife couldn't kill him or to say in simple words, he believed that he was invincible. 

"Just a few answers," Long Jie replied. "First question -- what do you want from the Tang family?" 

Ming Ze leaned against the lounge chair and smiled against the gun. He knew that Long Jie wouldn't hesitate to kill if he wasn't Ming Ze. After all, the man had a reputation for being a cold-blooded murderer but his PR had maintained his reputation quite well. 

"Mr. Long, why do we have to be on different sides when we can be friends?" Ming Ze said with a deep throaty voice. Wouldn't Long Jie be a better option to take down Lord Ryuu? 

"Friends?" Long Jie appeared a bit interested after hearing his words. "How so?"

With no hesitation, Ming Ze began, "Mrs. Long is the only child of late Lady Tang. It should have been her leading the Tang family in place of Lord Ryuu. But, the late Lord not only gave that place to an outsider… but also Lady Tang had no objection to such an unjust decision. Miss Zhenyi was left with nothing but a lousy Xin family." 

Ming Ze's eyes widened for a moment as he felt someone poking a syringe on his neck. "Call my Xin family lousy, next time it will not be a syringe but my favorite dagger." 

Seeing Long Jie's bored expression, he turned to look at the source of the voice. He could see Zhenyi holding a syringe which still had evidence of green colored liquid. 

Smiling, Zhenyi walked to the other side and sat on her husband's lap. She kissed his chin before asking him about what they were talking about. 

Apparently, she just heard the word lousy Xin family and shoved the injection on his neck without any second thoughts. 

And then she says that she is not impulsive? 

"He was offering me a deal," Long Jie informed her. "Something that will bring us a lot of money and...power." 

Zhenyi formed her mouth into an 'O'. She then looked at Ming Ze who was sweating profusely. "Money and power? I'm in. So, what's the deal?" 

"The deal involves killing Ryuu," Long Jie answered his wife. 

Silently, Zhenyi pulled the gun from Long Jie's hand and shot Ming Ze's shoulder. 

Again, she is not impulsive a bit! 

"Are you fucking crazy?!" Ming Ze hissed. He felt like he was dying. Oh, even if he wasn't! The mad couple would make sure he was dead! 

"No, I was just making sure that I heard what my husband said correctly. But it seems it was true," Zhenyi casually said. "Since you are already dying, why not answer a few questions?"

Zhenyi talked in such a languid manner that it didn't seem like they were not discussing death but the flavor of popsicles. 

"I am not dying but you all are. In the next ten minutes, my men will be here. They won't have a problem in taking down you two," Ming Ze laughed. Did they think he would not take any precautions? Although he knew Lord Ryuu would send his men after the culprit but never had he ever thought the so-called men wouldn't be anyone other than the notorious Long Jie and his wife. 

Zhenyi turned to look at her husband who was caressing her hair and asked, "Jie, even if they found him, how would this dumbhead get the antidote of the poison?"

Did he mention Zhenyi's love for the word Dumbhead knows no bounds?

Long Jie shrugged. "What does it have to do with us? He could die for all we care. After all, we are here only to kill him. It doesn't matter how he died as long as the outcome is the same." 

Zhenyi nodded. "Make sure you charge Ryuu tenfold the normal price. After all, not everyone can afford us as assassins." 

"You both are crazy," Ming Ze shouted. "That Lord Ryuu is using you." Pointing his finger at her, she screamed like a mad man," You were supposed to lead the Tang family, not him. He is not even a Tang." 

"You were supposed to say ' I will answer all your questions if you give me the antidote'. Weren't you given the script?"Zhenyi asked him seriously. 

"You...You… You are crazy. No, you are a psychopath. " Ming Ze had no idea that Xin Zhenyi had this side to her. She was really Tang Reine's daughter. Ruthless and crazy! 

"Answers, Ming Ze. Immediately. My wife and I are on our honeymoon." 

Zhenyi beamed. "Quickly." 

"We just wanted to dethrone Lord Ryuu," Ming Ze began speaking. 

"Where is the throne?" Zhenyi asked her in confusion. 

Long Jie answered her by kissing her shoulder. She turned to look at Ming Ze again. 

"We wanted to take away all the powers from Lord Ryuu not because we believed that he wasn't a Tang but because of our greed," Ming Ze muttered. Only he would say in this circumstance that his greed made him suffer at the hands of these tap psychopaths. " We want the Ming family to have all the things that the Tang Family had control over. And we have been waiting for this opportunity since Lord Ryuu appeared but my father insisted that we wait for the right opportunity.." He stopped for a moment as his eyes turned ferocious and then added, "And the perfect opportunity came when Xin Yichen came to ask for Xiuying's hand for marriage."
