The Mafia King's First Love Chapter 573 Jiang Zhen’s downfall (1)

Chapter 573 Jiang Zhen’s downfall (1)　　Jiang Zhen blankly stared at him as if the earth just swallowed him whole. The man in front of him wasn’t Shen Yang but the one who he knew as Xian Xue.

“Xian…Xue?”

He raised his brow. “Well that was my identity when I worked under Wei. That’s not my real name.”

Jiang Zhen widened his eyes in horror. “Impossible! Shen Yang…it was him! How can it be you!”

He looked around crazily. “Shen Yang! Shen Yang!”

“He is not here. I have kept him safely in a small, secret place where he is enjoying his life~” Xinyue sneered. “Everyday. You can hear his elated screams.”

Jiang Zhen felt his brain short-circuit. He failed to understand how the situation reached up to his point.

Lihua and Zhao Weisheng suddenly disappeared.

Wei appeared out of nowhere.

And now the man he was thinking to be Shen Yang all the time turned out to be an impostor.

When did things change?

This whole time…this whole time, it wasn’t Shen Yang but somebody else?

Jiang Zhen gnashed his teeth. “How is it possible!? You…As if you can disguise yourself as Shen Yang! Do you take me as someone stupid!”

“I don’t need to take you as one. You ARE stupid. That’s why you shouldn’t underestimate the Cheng family.”

He blinked rapidly.

Cheng family?

Xinyue tilted his head, his eyes glinting with amusement and hatred at the same time. “How many Cheng families do you know?”

He stiffened and sharply gasped.

That Cheng family who excelled in spying?

He burst into laughter. “You…you think you can fool me with that? The Cheng family is dead! It has been a long time!”

“I am alive right in front of you. My family is alive,” he sneered. “Your grand uncle thought that he succeeded in killing us, but he was dead wrong.”

Jiang Zhen was irked with his sneers and taunts. Feeling surrounded by Wei’s men, anger surged into his chest. He could have his answers later, but for now, he wanted to reverse this situation as soon as possible.

He glared at the men dressed in black, faces covered with masks. “What the hell are you doing!? I am the Mafia King! I am your leader! Didn’t you hear me!? Capture them!”

Nobody listened and nobody moved. Wei simply watched Jiang Zhen acting like a clown in a circus show.

Xinyue yawned. “Why are you even bothering when they are not your men?”

He froze.

“Are you crazy!?”

“I am just as sane as I could ever be. I don’t know if you even know what your men look like, but these ain’t yours.”

Jiang Zhen widened his eyes.

Not my men…

Xinyue laughed. “Ahh, I am so enjoying this. The look on your face is what I wanted to see for such a long time. You didn’t know when your men got replaced. Hell, you don’t even when your right hand man got replaced~ Are you curious? You are, right?”

Jiang Zhen trembled in rage.

Xinyue lazily smiled. “Let’s see. Where should I start from? Oh that day when my sister Lihua was in the park for her campaign.”

*Flashback*

The day when the real Shen Yang saw Jiang Ruiling escaping from some supposed goons.

“Let go of me! Help! Please! Somebody!” She cried and shouted.

Shen Yang smiled. “Oof. I guess you are already beginning to lose your sanity. Don’t worry, sweety. I will make sure you lose it on the bed, not here or where would be the fun?”

As he was about to drag her away, Shen Yang sharply gasped and fell on his knee.

“Aahhh!!” He yelled in pain.

He lowered his head and saw blood trickling down from his leg. A bullet pierced into his flesh, burning the skin around the wound.

What…How did a bullet out of nowhere…

A shadow loomed over him, and he lifted his gaze. The sight before him made him freeze as if was dropped dead into the Arctic.

“Xian Xue…?”

He sneered. “Hey fucker. Oh, I am sorry. Chief of Security Forces, Shen Yang. How are you doing these days?”

Sweat formed on his forehead, making his breaths ragged with the pain shooting up in his leg.

How is he…here? Didn’t he…?

“I can see you have many questions in your mind. That’s why I came here. How did you find it?”

Shen Yang heard the sound of boots clicking and in a matter of just a few moments, he was completely surrounded by Cheng family’s guards.

Before Shen Yang could reach his gun, two of the guards already knocked him out and threw his gun away. He fought hard, but the bullet and the blood streaming from his leg made it next to impossible. The guards easily locked his wrists behind his back and forced him to kneel down.

Which was excruciating in that bent angle with a bullet wound on his leg. He gasped as some blood spurted out in that position.

“You…”

He had a million questions in his mind but didn’t know where to begin. His gaze fell on Jiang Ruiling, who was watching him without a trace of any warmth in her eyes. Her expression was as cold as winter.

Suddenly, he felt as some of the pieces fit the puzzle. Jiang Ruiling was the only person kidnapped from the Jiang family with her whereabouts unknown. Nobody could trace her at all.

She didn’t seem shocked by Xian Xue’s entrance. It meant that she had expected him to take charge when the time was right.

“You bitch…So you were with him…you were working with him…!”

Jiang Ruiling smiled. “Just like you were with Jiang Zhen all along. So why are you giving me that accusing stare? Did I do anything wrong?”

He gritted his teeth. He realized that everything was a farce. She was never chased by the goons. She was never violated by Xian Xue. It was all a ruse to catch him off guard.

Xinyue bent on his knee and harshly clutched his hair, forcing him to face him.

“Thanks for falling into this, Shen Yang. Catching Jiang Zhen’s right hand man was extremely crucial for my plan. I need you to disappear,” his eyes glinted with danger, “So that I can take your place.”
