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

Low groan of pain came from Wei Tsui Lan who had been shot he writhe in pain but still manically laughed as if the pain didn’t matter to him right now and he was driven by an ecstasy.

"Why did you attacked me?" Li Lian asked, the question she couldn’t understand. She pushed her heels on the wound on Wei Tsui Lan’s legs, having the man down on the ground screaming for pain.

Blood seeped out underneath her heels. "You will feel more pain before your death if you don’t answer me, Tsui Lan."

"But you will kill me in the end won’t you?" Wei Tsui Lan said with struggle of getting the words out as the pain seared him.

Li Lian’s black hair to tussled by the wind. The lack of the light caused her upper face o be hindered by shadows but her deep burning eyes glowed in the darkness, like a panther who was here to avenge the death of her family. "You will suffer less."

Wei Tsui Lan laughed while looking at her face, "You are much more of a monster than me, you know that?"

"Thank you for the credit—" her steps on the man’s legs then turned harder, "—If you would now speak."

Wei Tsui Lan had to cry out of pain at first, "Li Jun Wei had been searching for you and when I learned about your past in the factory, I thought he came for you. His grandfather had killed my loved ones and I want to teach him! Teach him how it feel to lose the person he love but cannot touch and reveal it in the future for him so he would blame Wen Zhou!"

Li Lian clenched her hands at his answer and noticing this Wei Tsui Lan grinned, "Why? Aren’t you angry? Aren’t you mad?! Kill me then and we should see who would suffer more."

Wei Tsui Lan turned his body all of a sudden, pulling out a gun. Having a quick reflex and trained since young, Li Lian was quick to kick the man by his wrist, causing his hold on the gun to loosen.

When Li Lian pointed her gun the man had pulled a detonator from his chest pocket, "No you wouldn’t want to do that, Li Lian. Do you know where this is connected to? It is to your dear foster mother and grandmother, also to all people in the Imperial Hotel."

It took Li Lian a moment to understand what Wei Tsui Lan had done, "You can’t be!"

"Yes! I have put all the bomb I could get my hands to the imperial hospital. By now I am sure just this one push and the building would be torn down. Remember, Li Lian I don’t have any grudge against you. Blame your luck for marrying Li Jun Wei and remember that all of this was done by him!"

"Stop!" Li Lian demanded, her eyes carefully looking at the button where his thumb hovered above. "What do you want? I can give it to you," the ever last thing she want it to happen was her mother and grandmother to die. "You told me it isn’t my life that you want. You know that by doing this you will take many lives who are innocent!"

"I couldn’t care less. Do you know with what preparation I have come with today?" Wei Tsui Lan’s grin went wider and wider until it spread from his right to the other ear. "I have prepared to die."

In time, Wang Li Lei who had came noticed Li Lian. She also noticed the man coming closer and when Wang Li Lei noticed who was in front her, he pulled his twin gun and aimed at Wei Tsui Lan.

"NO! Don’t!" Li Lian warned the man. "He has bombs placed in Imperial Hospital!" Li Lian quickly commanded and Wang Li Lei’s eyes widened when he noticed what was it that Wei Tsui Lan held with his hands.

"Good that we seemed to be on page quickly. Now if you want the entire patient and people in the hospital to be alive, I suggest you to bring me a car and a path to leave. If you do I will give you this in exchange."

"You will regret what you do, Tsui Lan," Li Lian said again, "You really will."

Wei Tsui Lan narrowed his eyes, "I don’t regret my past actions, Li Lian. These people will die and I have no regrets I don’t know who they are why would I feel regret of people whom I don’t know? Yes, you asked me why I attacked you, aren’t you also curious why I had burned your foster mother’s house?"

Anger flared on Li Lian’s eyes. She doesn’t often loose her cool but now was a different matter whenever her family was mention.

"Simply because she is on the way. No one kill for a reason. No, put your gun down and kick it here," Wei Tsui Lan demanded when Li Lian had raised her gun. "Do it now. And all of you behind her do the same."

Li Lian hatefully gritted her teeth as she bent down and placed the gun she had. She was unable to cost the lives of the innocent.

Wei Tsui Lan had a wide smile, "Good that you are obedient," and he took two steps, placing the detonator on the sides of his body which was still held in his hands.

"Don’t you want to meet them again?" Came Li Lian’s sudden question that had Wei Tsui Lan’s eyes to narrow.

"What?" He asked, his eyes holding skepticism.

Li Lian smiled at Wei Tsui Lan’s confusion, "Don’t you ever wonder why on the apartment where your family had died there was only two victims and it was your mother and sister? Not to forget your step father who has died in coma."

"What are you trying to say? What do you mean by meeting them again?" Wei Tsui Lan could take the word meeting at face value but he knew that wasn’t it.

The distance between Li Lian and Wei Tsui Lan was only about three steps away. In the middle between them were the gun Li Lian had held.

"I can show you how to meet them again," Li Lian offered, her head tilting, "Your mother and sister hadn’t died in the fire, Tsui Lan. I can let you to meet them again."

Shock came on Wei Tsui Lan’s face, "What are you—"

Before Wei Tsui Lan could snap from his startle, Li Lian took a step forward and swiftly swung her leg to kick Wei Tsui Lan by his elbow.

Her kick was powerful enough to cause Wei Tsui Lan to release the detonator and the object fell as it slides over the ground.

Wei Tsui Lan however climbed over the ground to hold the gun and aimed a shot at Li Lian.

Everything happened in seconds that Li Lian’s priority was on the detonator. She wasn’t able to dodge the attack and the bullet grazed her arms.

However, she didn’t stop and from behind a sharp shot was heard. Li Lian tore her gaze to see Li Jun Wei who was leaning on the wall beside him taking a sharp aim at Wei Tsui Lan’s elbow.

"Seize him!" Commanded Wang Li Lei in time for the men who was near him to hold down Wei Tsui Lan.

Li Lian could hear a ringing buzzing noise next to her ears as she caught the detonator and her eyes were torn to meet Li Jun Wei’s black eyes. A faint smile came on his pallid complexion before he fell on the ground.

His eyes were shut close and Li Lian could hear at the same time he fell, her heart dropped to the bottom of her stomach as well.
