“What do you want from me?” Alcina questioned. She had every right to know what he wanted from her and why he kidnapped her now. From his words, it could be estimated that he had no idea that Ryuu was Tang Reine and Xin Yichen’s son. What would he get by kidnapping her now?
“Your parents hid you from me all these years. And yet you ask what do I want from you? Your death will provide me justice, “Long Sheng said in anger. He always wanted the end of Long Ah Shaan’s family. Whether it was Long Jie or Alcina, he wanted both of them dead because Elena Zhang betrayed him when he was about to achieve his goals.
“You are a traitor and yet you have the audacity to ask for justice. What kind of a monster are you, Long Sheng?” Alcina screamed at him. He was a murderer and a traitor. What rights did he have to demand justice?
“If I am a traitor then what should we call your mother?” Long Sheng asked her with a sneer.
“Zhang’s family sent Elena to lure Ah Shaan to her trap and destroy him. She wasn’t supposed to fall for him or elope with him. What a pity the man she was poisoning ended up becoming the father of her child, “Long Sheng said with a look of disgust. “That mother of yours was the reason why your father had an early death. She was poisoning him. When she realised that she was in love with him, it was too late to save.”
“My mother died first of cancer,” Alcina whispered. As much as she knew her mom died before his father.
Actually, Long Sheng took the help of the Zhang family in overthrowing Long Ah Shaan as Elder Zhang owed him a favour. He redeemed the favour by asking Elena to make Long Ah Shaan fall for her.
As bad as it could be, Long Ah Shaan fell for the petite and gorgeous woman called Elena Zhang. She was half Asian and half Western. She was the most beautiful woman he had seen. It didn’t take him long to fall for the fragile woman and he didn’t care if he was cheating on his wife. He got two women pregnant at the same time.
It couldn’t be said in crystal clear words that Long Ah Shaan was. a good or bad character. His marriage to Song Lily was fixed even before he was born. He was always meant to marry Song Lily. And so as long as both of them turned legal, they were married. But he never loved his wife. He always wanted to break free from the bond he never wanted in the first place.
Song Lily was a shrewd and manipulative woman. She understood a long time ago that there was no life for status for her in this society if she wasn’t married to Long Ah Shaan. So, she used all the ways it took to get him about to her, even if using her pregnancy.
Thus, Elena and Song Lily were pregnant at the same time. However, the former had no idea about it at that time.
Yet, it didn’t give Long Ah Shaan any right to cheat on his woman with another woman. But, don’t they talk about Karma? He experienced hell after choosing Elena over Song Lily. The woman he loved more than anything else was poisoning him in the disguise of loving him.
It was another mystery if he killed Elena or not! And there were some questions that were never meant to be answered or their answers shouldn’t be sought and it was one such question.
“She died of cancer or Ah Shaan killed her when he realised that the woman he loved was a goddamned traitor, “Long Sheng laughed at her idiocy.
“Your mother was killed by your father. Do you know when Long Ah Shaan left Song Lily for Elena the latter was pregnant with their first child?” He further asked her.
Alcina looked at her, stone cold. What was this strange feeling in her gut?
“I made sure Long Ah Shaan’s first child died but sadly he arrived, “Long Sheng said with apparent disgust. He did everything in his power to make sure that the child in Song Lily’s womb was killed but he failed and the child was born to snatch everything from his family.
“He was born weak but he survived to claim everything that belongs to my son. Long Wei. He is the eldest and he should be made the clan head but no Long Ah Shaan always gets what he wants and his son got too!”
The hatred in his voice was so clear. He wasn’t the man who perfectly played the role of a good brother and filial son. He was a monster who plotted and killed his own family.
“Long Sheng, why did you destroy your own family?” Alcina asked. Her eyes carried him with pity for this mad man. What did he get by destroying his own home?
He could have lived a happy and carefree life but no, he chose the battle against his own family?!
As much as she could see, he still lost even after killing everyone, he was still a loser.
“For getting everything I deserve,” Long Sheng said in a time that said the world owed him something. “How can everything I deserve to be given to others?”
Long Sheng needed to understand that the world didn’t owe him anything. All those things he believed belonged to him were never his in the first place.
“Now I will kill you,” Long Sheng suddenly said, after ending his sob story.
“Would you commit the sin of a pregnant woman?” Alcina asked, calmly.
“It’s not my first time and it won’t be my last either,” Long Sheng said and laughed like a lunatic.
“You killed Tang Reine and her child too! Just how crazy are you!” Alcina screeched at him.
“Who said her child is dead?” Long Sheng said.
