Chapter 409 A Ghost as Beautiful as You

"Ashton... one last question," she said, ignoring the fact that Ashton was still bowing to her. "Why are you here and not at the Li Family’s estate? You could have actually asked them for protection. You are smart enough to know that the one backing the Li Family should also have something to do with me. After all, I am still a Li. How certain are you that I will not kill you now?"

"How certain are you that I was not following the Li Family’s orders?" She smirked at him.

Ashton scoffed at Jiang Yue’s words before raising his head, looking straight at her. "If you were following their order, then why have you detained them after Gideon’s death?"

"To say that I am surprised that you know this, will be a lie. Your spies deserve extra pay." Jiang Yue said. "I can’t give you my answer now. Give me two days." Jiang Yue needed to verify his words first. In the file that she had received about this man was no mentions about a wife. So, Jiang Yue was reluctant to believe his words.

Although this Ashton sounded sincere, just because they looked harmless and weak, Jiang Yue would never believe anyone’s words again. The thought of being fooled by Gideon immediately came to Jiang Yue’s mind.

Seeing Jiang Yue lower her head, Ashton did not say anything else as he left a calling card on the table before leaving the room. To be honest, after the Kim Family’s massacre, a lot of people from the underworld wanted to use the current opportunity to kill all the other member’s of the Kim Family who had survived. That was the reason he was left with no choice but to seek Jiang Yue’s protection. He couldn’t put his wife and daughter’s lives in danger just because he was a Kim.

......

Jiang Yue slowly rose from her seat and walked towards her laptop, which was on the desk. Since Fu Jin was still recuperating on the bed, Jiang Yue asked Bei Ye to rearrange the room they were staying at. She wanted to put the desk next to the bed so she could watch over Fu Jin even when she was working. Bei Ye immediately complied to Jiang Yue’s orders and even meticulously arranged the high-end computer that was given by Secretary Jia to Jiang Yue.

"Report!" Jiang Yue blurted out the moment she noticed Bei Ye standing next to her.

"Miss Wang Ruo is safe and sound, her face is not swollen anymore. Moreover, the cuts that she had received were not that many. The doctors just gave her some pain relievers. She is the one attending to Mr. Li Qiang now."

"How is he?" Jiang Yue asked. To make sure that no one would be able to find out anything about Wang Ruo, she had asked Bei Ye to move them to a secure island outside of M Country, which was owned by the Fu Family.

"Mr. Li is currently in a coma... the doctors said that he is not doing well. His spinal cord was hit with the second bullet, so... if he survives, he will not be able to walk and move his legs anymore." Bei Ye reported.

Jiang Yue let out a long sigh while thinking about what had happened to Li Qiang. Until now, she was still confused about what to feel towards him. Li Qiang might be evil, but just like Jiang Yue, he had also been taken advantage of by the Li Family. Although, that would not change the fact that Li Qiang hated her father.

"How is the security of the island?" She asked.

"Impeccable."

"Good... Tell my mother that once everything is settled here, I will visit her." Jiang Yue said before turning her gaze back to her computer. She and her mother needed to talk about what had happened in the bunker. She needed to know a lot of things, especially about her father.

She could never forget how Gideon confirmed that he had manipulated everything, including the information her father had got about her mother’s location.

"Understood, Young Miss. Also..." Bei Ye made a deliberate pause, making Jiang Yue glance at him. "Secretary Jia wanted to know when you will be available to see him and the other ministers. As the next heir, they need you to calm down the people."

"Tell him... To come and see me tomorrow," she answered. Although her face at that moment was still far from decent, Jiang Yue also understood M Country’s current predicament. They needed a public face, someone who would represent the country. They need someone to pacify them and resolve their concerns as soon as possible.

"Tell me about the current state of the people." She asked.

"Many still believe that the Kim Family was attacked by terrorists because of their connection to the underworld. A lot of people think that the blackout and traffic accidents were just made to cover the real plot of the terrorists and that is destroying the Kim Family overnight. Because of this a lot of people living in Dongsu City and other main cities are worried about their safety. They think that an attack can happen anytime." Bei Ye explained.

Jiang Yue did not say anything else before she gestured for Bei Ye to leave her. On the outside, M Country already looked peaceful, however, Jiang Yue knew that this incident was far from over. Different minority groups were preparing to storm the palace and take advantage of the King’s death. Moreover, other families that were involved with some underworld groups were keeping an eye on the person who would possibly become the next King.

"Too troublesome." She thought out loud.

"What is troublesome?" Fu Jin’s voice immediately made Jiang Yue jolt up in her seat.

"Are you planning to give me a heart attack?" She patted her chest before letting out a long sigh. She then made her way to Fu Jin’s bed and took a seat next to him. "How are you? Would you like to eat something?"

Fu Jin did not answer her. Instead, he gave her a smirk, his gaze full of meaning. "I think I do, Mrs. Fu."

Jiang Yue immediately frowned at his words. Fu Jin’s gaze was enough to tell her about the lewd thoughts running in his mind at that moment. With her hideous appearance, Jiang Yue couldn’t help but wonder if Fu Jin was blind or just a plain lovesick fool. How could he still have that kind of thoughts with Jiang Yue’s bruised face and his wounded shoulder?

With these in mind, Jiang Yue acted as if she was not able to understand what he meant and smiled at him. "Really? What is it, Mr. Fu? How about eating some beef soup?"

"Mrs. Fu is indeed good at acting fool. You know that a mere beef soup won’t satisfy me." He chuckled before using his other hand to pull Jiang Yue towards him.

"What are you doing? You are wounded!" She tried to pinch his arm but the latter was still too strong for her. "Hey, behave yourself! Are you not afraid of me? Look at my face! I look like a ghost!"

"What ghost?" He asked as he buried his face into her neck, inhaling her scent. "I have never seen a ghost as beautiful as you."
