My Husband is the Emperor : I Woke Up With a Husband

With the call that suddenly end, Li Lian gripped to her shirt, calming herself by shutting tight her eyes. In such a crucial moment, anger could be both a weapon but also ticking bomb.

She looked at Li Jun Wei who had just made a quick call, "Have you gotten in contact with Zhuang Xuan?"

"He says he is on it and he would come with us," Li Jun Wei answered. He thought again what Wei Tsui Lan had to say and could tell that the revenge he wanted was not to Li Lian but rather to him. But he never heard of the man’s name before until he became an actor. Even when they first met, he didn’t recognize his face.

"I don’t think it is the right option for Xuan to come, the fight is not going to be peaceful," Li Lian said and she clutched to his shirt, "You know I don’t agree with this idea of you coming alone to meet him. We both know clearly this is a trap."

"Of course," Li Jun Wei raised his hand to cup her cheek, "First of all, I will go alone," Li Lian frowned and her lips that parted was quickly stopped by his finger, "With a plan. I am not going there alone without one. I know I can’t sacrifice my life and I will not leave that place without Xiao Chen either."

Li Lian was worried because Wei Tsui Lan had been proved to be as crafty and evil as he hid himself to be. He had played well by acting as a normal person, coming next to her and she even saved his life once. It had Li Lian to question was that accident that day happened really out of pure confidence or was it all just an event he created? The latter one sounded more plausible to her now that the man’s mask had been revealed.

"When is Japan are they? Have the location been found?" Li Lian asked. As much as possible she want to be involved in this matter that involved her as well even if she wasn’t able to come with him.

Li Jun Wei knew he had gotten the best wife God and this world could ever offer him. Li Lian was strong, beautiful, and her loveliness didn’t come from her look or her voice. Both were lovely but it was her heart that had captured him.

He led her outside the room, saying, "The location is in a port, around an abandoned factory—"

"Wait! Li Lian! Mr. Li!" Mrs. Xie yelled for their name. Li Lian hadn’t been in the best mood and hearing her mother’s voice when she had just forgotten her presence a moment ago now had her frown.

She looked at the woman who had put up a nervous smile. Her hands were rubbed together and she crawled to get close but not too close for she could still see the gun that Li Lian held.

Li Lian saw the woman who had given her birth now losing her cool. It appears that finally after two round of bullets that she understood she wasn’t a person she could ever negotiate with and that kindness had gone completely from her.

"P-Please. I will apologize for what I did, I will so—"

"It is wrong for you to think that I want your apology, Mrs. Xie. I don’t need it. Can your apology fixes the things you did and can it give me back my one year that has been lost?" Li Lian’s question was calm but it didn’t hide the hatred she had for the woman.

"It is my fault. It is my fault but Hue Lin didn’t do anything. Don’t forget before anything she is your sister," the woman said, not knowing the very sentence she said only burn more anger in Li Lian.

"I can kill you now, Mrs. Xie as much as I can kill her," Li Lian’s gaze fell to Xie Hue Lin who then crawled back behind Mrs. Xie, wanting to avoid her gaze in fear she would be shot again. "Words like mother and sister they don’t work to me anymore. You have killed me and unfortunately, the one who came back to life is a demon."

Mrs. Xie suddenly fell forward, hitting her head on the ground, a sight which Li Lian would never expect to see until now. "Just spare our life today! We promise we won’t do anything anymore and we won’t try to take back Xie Company!"

"The company is mine from the very beginning," Li Lian said, her eyes staring deeply into her mother and the latter was in shock with the amount of darkness she had in her. She came forward and the two woman was quickly crawl back, a sight that was pitiful to see but a happy amusement to Li Lian.

She raised her gun, having the other two shout in fear. "Don’t worry, I won’t do anything," came Li Lian’s words that had her breathed out in relief. They were thankful for the first time for her kind nature which they had used to their advantage in the past.

The breath came out short-lived as Li Lian continued the rest of her words, "Not today at least. You will see it that I won’t kill you to torture you more so don’t think this is my kindness." Li Lian saw how their bodies shakes and her lips widened, "I want you to enjoy the last few days of your life because mark my words. I will kill you for what you have done and give you back the suffering which you would suffer even worse than death. I will see if you will still remain sane by then."

Li Lian turned her back but immediately turned to see them again, raising her gun and shooting the wall behind them that caused the two women scream out of fear and surprise.

Li Lian clapped her hand, laughing at their fear that helped her to ease the anger and frustration she had in her heart. She came back to Li Jun Wei’s side then and passed the gun to him, "This is not enough," she said while looking at his eyes, "Do you think it is enough? Or am I too much?"

"No," Li Jun Wei take hold of her hand, kissing her fingertips and placed her whole palm to his cheeks, "This is far from enough. We will have time to take care of them once we are back."

"What will we do now? I doubt they would be coming alone."

"There are a hundred people with him and another hundred more," added Li Jun Wei while looking at his phone.

Li Lian pulled her brows together. Other than a tight proof plan, they needed numbers in order to win. But compared to two hundred people, it was clear that they were lacking in number by a great difference. "We don’t have that much people with us."

"I know someone who might help," Li Jun Wei said. Li Lian stared at his eyes long with inquiry.

"Who?"

"My old friend, someone who had became the successor of the Chinese Mafia. He might be able to lend us what we lack of. We should go there now and meet him while waiting for Xuan’s reply," Li Jun Wei pushed the back of the gun to the strap that tightly snug his chest.

Li Lian followed him with quick steps but stopped when she remembered something and turned to call one of the bodyguard, "Bring a doctor to tend Hue Lin’s wounds. Dying now is too easy for her."

Back in the factory, Naomi had to stand for a good five seconds while glaring fire to Wei Tsui Lan before making her way back to seat next to Li Xiao Chen reluctantly. She understand that in this situation, she was at the disadvantage and doing foolish thing would only cost her life that might ruin Haru’s plan to get back on this man.

She stomped her way and sat down with a plop. Li Xiao Chen couldn’t help but scoffedly remarked, "Shame on you, karma work like a bitch."

Naomi turned her glowering eyes to him, "You bratty man. You better shut up and recognize that my plan was much better than bringing you with me. You are someone who could die in less than five second once we left the factory."

"Spoken from a person who wasn’t able to leave."

The anger had Naomi forgot that Li Xiao Chen wasn’t her current enemy. She was about to raise her hand when Wei Tsui Lan cleared his throat, "Now, now, don’t forget about me. Don’t you two wonder where you are?"

"If we ask will you be so kindly to tell us where we are?" Li Xiao Chen had been the one to take the opportunity to ask. He didn’t know what kind of reason for Wei Tsui Lan to hide his identity until now but that wasn’t his worry. The fact that Wei Tsui Lan is his enemy was enough for him to know now.

"No but I can tell you something about this place. This is a very unforgettable place for both your brother and sister-in-law, coincidentally also Haru’s memorable place," said Wei Tsui Lan. He spread his hand around the place for them to look around, "It is not the very same location but I have made sure to recreate it similar to pull their memories. I had been the person who create this building from scratches while imagining how beautiful it would be to see it when Li Jun Wei and Haru met their ends here. It feels me with delights that this day finally come. This day where I will have my revenge."
