\”I will kill that man!\” Zhou Kang raised his hand and slam it into the table. Its loud sound echoed before he started pacing around his room, his hand on his chin. For a few seconds, Zhou Kang was not able to stop the anger from bursting as he started shooting the walls. \”I WILL KILL YOU!!!\” He screamed and kicked the door.
\”Boss!\” a man came inside. \”Someone left this note outside.\” He handed a piece of paper, and immediately Zhou Kang’s face changed. He smiled and nodded.
\”He wanted to see me?\” His laughter followed. \”He wanted to talk?\”
\”HAHAHAHA.\” His ominous laughter reverberated inside the two-bedroom apartment in Shanghai where Zhou Kang was hiding. \”Prepare our men.\”
\”But boss…\”
\”What?\”
\”We only have a few left. When… When the news — that scandal about the heir of the Zhou —\”
\”SHUT UP!\” Rage surged within Zhou Kang as he was reminded of how most of his people immediately left him after that Zhou Wu Ye came back. \”Those people needed to die.\” He walked passed the man. \”How was the cargo?\” Zhou Kang was talking about his escape plan. He wanted to leave the Mainland undetected and go somewhere in South East Asia or even India to hide. He needed time to cool down before he would come back and finally kill that man.
Of course, he was planning to bring his Lingling with him this time. How could he leave her alone with a man like his cousin? Zhou Kang seriously thought that the only man capable of making her happy is him. Somehow, he managed to convince himself that Zhou Wu Ye coerced his Lingling and that she needed his help to escape the man.
This was the reason why he wanted to see her. He wanted to convince her to leave. They could start a new life somewhere, away from that despicable man, and live the rest of their lives as a couple. This was meant to be, he beamed inwardly.
Zhou Kang thought that he would need to fight his way to see her. He never expected that Zhou Jingren would ask to see him and tell him that he would give his Lingling to him. Zhou Kang’s lips lifted into a smile full of contempt. He already expected Zhou Jingren to hate his parents for abandoning him.
But, he never expected Zhou Jingren to be this ruthless. Is he really willing to give his mother to him just so Zhou Kang will stop disturbing his life?
\”Coward!\” he laughed. \”That man is a coward!\” It was as if Zhou Kang had forgotten the fact that he lost more than half of his people because of Zhou Wu Ye. He laughed and laughed before he instructed the remaining men that he had to prepare and go to the place ahead of time.
Zhou Kang knew the possibility that this was a trap. However, he doesn’t care. If this was a trap, then he would kill Zhou Jingren then leave. He could always come back for Lingling. However, the possibility that this was true was also very tempting to him. How could he let go of such an idea?
\”Boss… Our men are ready. They are on standby around that abandoned building. As expected, Zhou Jingren’s people were not there.\”
Zhou Kang eyed the man standing in front of him. He was too engrossed in his own thoughts that he did not even notice the man stand there. \”What day is it?\” Zhou Kang was too busy fantasizing that he had actually forgotten to sleep!
\”Its Tuesday… We are ready for the meeting.\” The man said.
\”Then… what are you waiting for?\” he sneered and skipped out of the room.
The ride towards downtown Shanghai was short. After they arrived, Zhou Kang immediately got out of the car and walked inside the empty building a few feet away from him. He did his best to conceal his presence.
Not long after, he heard someone’s footsteps following him. His senses immediately became alert. He turned and was surprised that it was Zhou Jingren. He eyed his watch and realized that it was ten minutes before the agreed time.
\”I was not expecting that you will be this early.\” He stated as his eyes roamed around the place. According to one of his men, his people are surrounding this place. Because of this, Zhou Kang’s confidence increased. \”Where is she?\”
As if on cue, a man wearing a blue suit arrived with Lingling… in chains. These action immediately made him fumed. \”How dare you do that to your mother?\” he asked as he tried to walk towards Zhou Dae Un.
\”Move one step towards her and you are dead.\” He heard Zhou Jingren uttered. His cold voice made him freeze. He shifted his gaze at the man and sneered.
\”You? Kill me? Zhou Jingren… you are still a child. You know nothing.\” He said. However, he also halted his steps. He eyed Zhou Jingren’s gun and scoff. \”Do you even know how to shoot?\”
Ignoring his question, Zhou Jingren walked towards him. His steps silent against the concrete flooring of the building. \”Aren’t you going to ask me why I am giving her to you?\”
\”Well… I know that you hate her.\” Zhou Kang said, impatience flashed in his eyes. \”Does it even matter? Since you already said that you will give her to me. Then do it! Let’s not waste our time talking.\”
\”Is that right?\” Zhou Jingren cocked his head towards his mother. \”You know… they are against this decision. They said it’s risky.\”
In response, Zhou Kang pursed his lips. His temper flared as he raised his gun and pointed it at Zhou Jingren. \”I said stop talking and give her to me!\”
\”So impatient. Tell me… Zhou Kang, are you going to flee after this?\” the smile on Zhou Jingren’s face immediately gave Zhou Kang an ominous feeling.
\”If you do something crazy and call the police… I will blow up this place. This building will become our graves!\” He threatened. \”Now… be a good boy and give me my wife!\”
A sneer escaped Zhou Jingren’s lips as he stared at him unfazed.
