Chapter 282 Father?
"So you know me?" he stated. He was actually not surprised that Jiang Yue knew him. In fact, he had already predicted that Jiang Yue knew him, from the very moment he went to Xin City. He also suspected that Jiang Yue had something to do with the problems that some of his companies had encountered that time.
"Ah... where are my manners? Sit... Jiang Yue. Don’t feel shy or bothered, this is still your office after all," he said, smiling at her.
Jiang Yue narrowed her eyes at him. "Are you here to kill me?"
"How bold..." Li Qiang smirked, then gestured her again to take a sit. "You reminded me so much of your mother."
Li Qiang watched as Jiang Yue took a seat across him. "And no, I am not here to kill you," he added, as he beamed at her. "As much as I would like to."
"Why are you here then? Who let you in?"

"I am not..."
"Shhh... I did not give you permission to speak. First, inform your secretary that you have a meeting with someone important. Don’t let her see me," he said. "Or, I will have to kill her."
Jiang Yue immediately strode towards the door. She abruptly opened it, revealing the blushing Shen Rong. "What’s up?" Jiang Yue asked, trying to hide her anxiety.
"Oh... nothing. That bodyguard of yours is really cruel. Don’t let him come into your office." Shen Rong answered, while giving her the cup of coffee.
"Okay, I am going to have a conference. Don’t let anyone in." Jiang Yue answered, then smiled at her friend. She couldn’t let Shen Rong get involved in this mess. Jiang Yue was convinced that Li Qiang would definitely follow his words, and kill Shen Rong.
"Okay," Shen Rong answered, before turning around and walking towards her own table.
Seeing this, Jiang Yue finally calmed down and went back inside the room. She couldn’t help but feel curious. Jiang Yue was well aware that Li Qiang was dangerous. She also knew that this guy could attempt to kill her anytime now. Not, that she would let it happen, without fighting back.
For some reason, Jiang Yue was feeling a little complicated towards Li Qiang. Somehow, the man seemed to have a natural charisma within him as if pulling her towards him.
"Good. Now let me start," Li Qiang smiled at her. "Listen carefully, don’t worry, I won’t kill you... at least, not now."
"I am not worried about that. I am only worried that I will stain my expensive carpet with your blood," she retorted.
"Feisty. Exactly like your mother." action
"STOP TALKING ABOUT A PERSON WHO IS DEAD!" She faked to being angered. How came this man always compared her to her mother? When she was nothing like her. In Jiang Yue’s memory, Wang Ruo was kind and gentle. She would never hurt a fly. However, the memory of Wang Ruo holding a rifle on the photo from Jia Yan’s father, made Jiang Yue swallow all of those thoughts.
"Show some respect. She is already dead," she repeated. She wanted to see a change in Li Qiang’s face. Jiang Yue wanted to at least let Li Qiang say that Wang Ruo was alive or make him clear the chaos in her mind.
"Okay." Li Qiang answered. He clearly saw by Jiang Yue’s reaction that she knew nothing about Wang Ruo. That thought instantly made him smile inwardly.
"Now, let me start my story with the classic."
"Once upon a time, there was a princess whose name was Rose. Rose was a very beautiful princess, however, her existence was something that could have ruined countries and caused wars, endless death, and agony."
"Of course, Rose was not aware of that. She was a bubbly little girl, who was spoiled and loved by her mother. Until one day, her mother died, leaving the orphan Rose alone, to fend for herself."

"So she began her journey to her own father. Afterward, she realized that her existence was the reason, why two countries were constantly in war against each other."
"Now, the only way to end that war was to kill Rose. The only way to end people’s agony was to let Rose die."
"Now... let me ask you... should Rose live or die?"
Jiang Yue did not respond to Li Qiang, instead, she continued staring at him.
Then she asked, "Are you... my father?"
Her sudden question obviously shocked Li Qiang. He did not expect Jiang Yue to ask this question out of nowhere.
"Tell me? Why do I look like you? Are you my father?" Jiang Yue demanded. She wanted... No... She needed to know the truth.
