Chapter 419: Rival

Jiang Yue and Fu Jin arrived at the island where Wang Ruo and Li Qiang were staying. Since Li Qiang was still in a coma, Jiang Yue and Fu Jin only talked to her mother.

Wang Ruo started telling Jiang Yue about what had happened that day.

"So, all of your comrades are dead?"

"Except for Li Qiang, yes." Wang Ruo nodded.

Jiang Yue turned silent at her mother's words. Wang Ruo just told her that she and her team were the ones responsible for that explosion. However, she felt the most guilt since she was the one who pressed the trigger to blow up that place.

Moreover, they were not aware of the existence of the kids until she made an investigation about it afterward.

"So, you think that father was related to the people who wanted to blow up that place?"

Once again, Wang Ruo nodded. "You are right. I think he knows the people responsible for the order. But he doesn't know that I was assigned for that mission."

"But why run away, instead of being honest with him?"

"I thought he was some mafia member, alright? Li Qiang has not told me who he really is at first. I even thought he was assigned to spy on me." Wang Ruo explained. "I left when someone started following me around."

"So, those people…"

"I think they are from the Vercello Family." Wang Ruo interrupted her. Before giving her a stack of papers composed of some photographs and news articles.

Jiang Yue instantly looked through the files and furrowed her brows. "This…"

"I believe that the Vercello family has done that." Wang Ruo said. "All of that."

Jiang Yue once again looked at the news articles in front of her. All of that news articles involved murders, drugs, trafficking and civil wars. With all that data, she could already predict that the Vercello Family was not an easy target.

"The kids that you have killed… were they…" she looked at her mother, her gaze unfathomable. "Were they a part of the Vercello family's drug experiments?"

"You already know?" Wang Ruo's eyes widened. It was something that she found out after months of research. Yet, her daughter just guessed it in a matter of days. Wang Ruo immediately felt a surging pride of a mother.

"I guessed. I have talked to a person who said that the Vercellos are making potent medications. I am not an expert in the medical industry but I know that this type of medications needs to be tested on a living person."

Wang Ruo's gaze turned gloomy when she heard Jiang Yue's words. "You are right. I came to the conclusion that those kids were already dead before I... I blew them up."

"Tell me, Mother… tell me everything that you know about the Vercello Family."

"Why?" Wang Ruo asked. "Don't… don't tell me that you are planning to become their rival?" She then got up from her seat, disbelief written all over her face. "Yue! You can't do that! You..."

"The Vercellos is the untouchables. They have been like that for hundreds of years," she added.

"Mother, calm down. Take your seat, and let's talk." Jiang Yue calmly said. She was silently wondering why would her mother act this way. "You were supposed to be the Matriarch of the Vercello Family. You were already involved in the underworld without grandfather's knowledge back then. Why did you decide against becoming one of them?"

Wang Ruo scoffed at her words. "What Matriarch? Do you believe everyone's story about the Vercello Family?"

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"Yue'er… The only way to become a Matriarch is to marry the person that they ask you to marry." Wang Ruo said.

Jiang Yue's face instantly turned into a scowl. "So, Grandmother…"

"Yes… that woman left my father, so she could marry an unknown man and become the Vercello Family's Matriarch." Seeing Jiang Yue lower her head, Wang Ruo continued. "The Vercellos is all about power and influence. For them, love and marriage are two different things. Now… I hope you understand why I chose to marry Jiang Chanming and hide you away from that chaotic world." She let out a sigh.

"I don't want you to become everyone's target. I don't want you to become like me," she added. "If the Vercello Family gets to know that you have already married Fu Jin… they might even... The man who was supposed to be your husband is allowed to eliminate him."

"This…" Jiang Yue and Fu Jin's expressions darkened when they heard Wang Ruo's words. "Do you think it's possible that Grandmother has left Grandfather because she was afraid that someone would kill him?"

"Also... why… May I know why no one has ever tried to kill Jiang Chanming? What about the person who was supposed to marry you? Did he give up? Did he know about my real father?"
