All of a sudden, all the screens went black and a loud sound was heard.

” BOOOOOMMMM”

Then, bullets exploded through one of the walls before they could react. The other party pelted them like rain, destroying anything and everything in their way.

“Fuck!” Long Yuan screamed in pain as blood poured from his arm.

“Open the darn door and blow the bloody man away!”

Long Shaoming froze just as a bullet went right past his head and embedded itself into the wall behind him. The rest of the men in the room scrambled to follow orders but froze when the door opened.

“Tell me it wasn’t you my dear husband, and you did not betray my trust, “Xin Zhenyi roared, looking him dead in the eyes.

‘ Kill him. Put a bullet through his empty bloody head, pluck those grey eyes that were staring deep into her soul, or cut off the lying tongue that spoke about honesty and end the story once for all’ the thought was running in her mind as she saw him.

The lying bastard!

“What the hell is it? ,” Long Shaoming asked the madwoman who happened to be his daughter-in-law and blasted half of their base.

If Xin Yichen was a grim reaper, he had no words for his daughter.

The darn girl took after his mother.

‘Don’t think about the devil’ Long Shaoming reminded himself as nothing good comes out of speaking of that woman.

“Ask your bloody son, father-in-law! Because I am only a second away from unloading all the bullets in his damm head. And he fucking deserved it, “Zhenyi glared at Long Shaoming as she pointed the gun at Long Jie’s head.

Zhenyi didn’t realize that she cursed and used the word, father in law in the same sentence.

Long Jie whose head was pointed before her pistol, was staring into her eyes. Instead of anger, he saw hate for him. The usual beautiful Zhenyi was not looking beautiful to him, today she was the avatar of *Pesta.

To him at that time, she was the dark, chthonic goddess, her abhorring eyes beheld the flames of vengeance, at the same time terrifying and benign, and the description of both creation and destruction.

” Shoot me,” Long Jie spoke staring into her eyes. “You better pull the trigger now. You will regret it if you don’t.”

“First brother, have you lost your mind? “Long Yuan said, his voice laced with visible worry. He was sure if Long Jie provoked her, she wouldn’t even think before pressing the trigger.

Zhenyi’s eyes darted towards Long Yuan, but in a split second, Long Jie swung around and pinned her against the wall, the revolver in her hand fell on the ground.

“I said you would regret it, wife, “Long Jie smirked as she was pinned against the wall . They were close, too close as his nose was just an inch away from hers. His scent was just like him dangerous and betraying.

The scent of him had been branded into her memory, she couldn’t forget the night from two days ago, the bitter and unforgettable night.

The smell brought her back to senses. Seeing that he was dazed, she blinked at Long Jie and bit her lips with her teeth as if she was appalled. Long Jie lost control for a split second, but the split-second was enough for Zhenyi to kick his balls and picked the revolver.

Long Wei who was silent since the start was more than just shocked. This happened just in a split second that no one noticed what happened, but he did.

The woman affected Long Jie more than he had thought.

Long Shaoming grimaced at his son’s stupidity, stepping forward as he reached to come between them. ” Zhenyi, you can fight with each other as much as you want but after clearing the mess my son had created. You should always remember that Xins and Longs are one, but you two are always at each other’s throats like two rebellious kids.”

“Touchè, “Zhenyi snickered.

“You still remember that father-in-law? But your son seemed to have different opinions than you. He preferred firing the bullet through other’s shoulders. Especially a woman’s, the one he loathes so much.”

“Ask your men to drop the weapons Zhenyi. I’m the head of the family, not my son. You can trust my words.”

Seeing that she had no intention of backing off, he added ” Did your father ever told you are just like your mother? Look where the stubbornness left her. One example is not enough for you, daughter-in-law?”

“If you knew her so well, then you should always remember not to mess with me, dear father-in-law. I thought you had done your homework, but you disappointed me just like your son did or should I say the way you disappointed your son,” she said with no emotion in her voice. “But you see I had no interest in your family drama or whatever, neither I had any feelings for you guys as family, Just step out of the way or I will kill you before I kill your son.”

” Zhenyi, don’t cross the line. He is my father” Long Jie hollered, his face already turning red from anger.

“Then ask him to respect the dead by not mentioning them, “Zhenyi called back.” You bunch of traitors have no right to mention my dead mother”

Coincidentally or intentionally, Long Shaoming’s personal phone rang, he let out a harsh chuckle after seeing the caller.
