The CEO's Woman

Chapter 395 Innocent Souls

Gideon smirked at Wang Ruo’s panic-stricken expression. Who would want a mother like her?

That was the reason the Li Family was very confident that Jiang Yue would side with them, instead of siding with Wang Ruo.

Wang Ruo and her team were elites. Yet, they had fallen into the trap of greed. One of their superiors had ordered them to accomplish a simple mission: Eradicate a group of terrorists that had been camping in a remote village. It was seemingly a very simple mission.

They were supposed to just go inside, plant the explosives and detonate them, that was all.

However, what they did not know was that one of the officials was using that place to hide the kids that had been kidnapped and used for organ supplement to the black market. The official needed someone to clean up after him. So, he decided to use his connections in the military to issue that order.

The official’s plan worked perfectly.

Wang Ruo and her team killed more than twenty innocent souls and other people who were guarding them. Not that the Li Family ever cared about killing innocent. In fact, they didn’t really care about things like that. However, that particular incident was a special case as it involved Wang Ruo.

That information was actually the product of Li Jun’s endless research on Wang Ruo. When Gideon found out, he immediately told the Li Family about that, with hopes that they could use that information against Wang Ruo.

Now, many people might be wondering, why would Gideon betray Li Jun? Gideon was willing to even be poisoned for his King, yet he betrayed the King by telling the Li Family about Wang Ruo.

Why?

Because Li Jun had left him for that woman...

Not just once but already twice. He never hesitated when he walked out of the Li Family’s mansion and chose to be with Wang Ruo. Gideon was jealous. That was right! He was jealous of Li Jun’s feelings towards that woman! How could he abandon the Li Family for Wang Ruo without even batting an eyelid? How could Li Jun... abandon him?

They grew up together! They were best friends! He couldn’t deny that he... he loved Li Jun. He loved him to the point of sacrificing everything for him. Yet, Li Jun just left.

Li Jun’s actions made Gideon almost mad from anger! Because of that, he searched for Wang Ruo’s real identity. He hoped that he could use that to threaten her away from Li Jun. However, what surprised him the most was that Wang Ruo actually left Li Jun on her own accord.

He originally thought that it would be over after that. And indeed Li Jun came back and he was there... being his right-hand man. He was contented. He was happy. However, deep inside he also knew that Li Jun had never stopped looking for that woman. He wanted to know what had happened back then. What made her leave him. He even asked Gideon to help him.

Gideon never refused any of his requests, no matter how much it hurt him. That was all because he hoped to uncover something that would make Li Jun hate Wang Ruo. And he succeeded... he found out about that incident, which became the reason that Wang Ruo left Li Jun.

It was because she found out that the mission was actually to kill those children.

But did Li Jun hate her? No! To Gideon’s horror, Li Jun smiled at him gently and told him how relieved he was to finally know that Wang Ruo had not left him because she had stopped loving him.

What kind of man would be so absurd to still love the person who had already left?

A foolish one.

Just like Gideon. He was such a fool to think that Li Jun would choose the Li Family this time.

He was a fool to even hope that Li Jun would hesitate to leave.

He could never forget how Li Jun left, without even saying a proper goodbye to him!

How hateful! He was dying! But Li Jun did not even care about that.

Because of that, he had done everything that he could to convince the Li Family to accomplish the plan that they had come up to kill Wang Ruo. He even personally invested his time and effort to convince Jiang Yue to come to M Country. And it was all just so they could trap Wang Ruo.

And their plan worked. Now, he was sure that Jiang Yue would hate Wang Ruo after he finished telling her what had happened back then. Who would want to be with a murderer?

Gideon was almost sure that Jiang Yue would even allow Simon to kill her mother. After all, Jiang Yue had a righteous heart. Just like everyone in the Li Family. She would not be able to stand what had happened to those children.

Gideon smugly looked at the mother and daughter duo as he thought about Jiang Yue’s possible anger towards her mother at that moment.

After taking care of Wang Ruo, Gideon would declare Jiang Yue as the next Queen, so she would be able to lead their country. He couldn’t wait to see the Vercello Family suffer from losing someone as valuable as Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue just narrowed her eyes at Wang Ruo, her mind elsewhere. If her guess was right, then the children they were talking about were the ones from the article that she had found. Her mother and her team should be the ones responsible for that explosion.

She then remembered the letter that came with the articles. Was that what Jia Yan’s father wanted to tell her? That they were innocent? The people who had killed him... were they the ones her mother was afraid of?

Jiang Yue instantly understood that the people who had ordered that explosion might be tying up loose ends. They wanted to silence the people, who could provide evidence on that explosion.

Her face turned colder as she stared at her mother, making her mother more nervous. That was the moment that Wang Ruo dreaded the most. The moment that her daughter would find out about her previous deeds.

"Is that the reason you left my father?" Jiang Yue asked while staring intently at Wang Ruo.
