My Secretary is a Little Sweet - Chapter 497

Chapter 497: Jing Yiran’s Death

Jing Yichen was startled when he heard Zhao Anan’s name, but he did not put the gun down.

He looked very cold, but spoke in a calm way, “So it was you who took Zhao Anan away. Good, there is one more reason for you to die now.”

“Jing Yichen, if you dare to kill me, Zhao Anan will die with me. Think before you shoot!”

Jing Yiran sounded extremely determined. He was worried that Jing Yichen did not catch what he said, so he repeated it, “Zhao Anan was imprisoned by me in the UK. I gave her food and a place to live in. I have not touched even a single hair of her body. You can talk with her right now and ask how she is doing. But if you kill me now, I can guarantee that Zhao Anan will not only die a terrible death but also get utterly humiliated before she dies.”

“As long as I am safe, and your men stop following me, I will release Zhao Anan. This is my condition. If you want your cousin alive, you better listen to what I am saying.”

Jing Yichen’s expression did not change. He just stared at Jing Yiran and said, “You are in no position to negotiate with me. I have told you that today is the last day of your life and nothing will change that.”

Jing Yiran got furious. He said in disbelief, “You don’t care about Zhao Anan? If I die, she dies too. You will have a difficult time handling your aunt!”

“Why should I care if Zhao Anan is alive or not?” Jing Yichen showed a mocking smile and sounded nonchalant.

“She asked for it. If she wanted to run away from home, it serves her right that she is caught and beaten to death. Why would I be bothered to save such an idiot? Also, isn’t it better if she dies? I can inherit everything from the Zhao Family then?”

Jing Yiran’s eyes widened suddenly as if some other version of Jing Yichen was standing in front of him. He pointed his shivering finger at Jing Yichen, without being able to say a single word.

“In fact, I should thank you for telling me such a huge secret before you die, otherwise I would have never known who took away that nuisance. Now, all is solved, and I can kill you without any burden and I can also bury Zhao Anan with your help. This is an excellent situation. Thank you for doing such a good deed before your death.”

Jing Yiran got extremely startled at what Jing Yichen said, so did Lu. She felt that something weird was going on with Jing Yichen, but couldn’t tell what was it.

Jing Yichen did not treat Zhao Anan as well as Shangguan Ning, but Zhao Anan was his only cousin and he had been taking great care of her all this time. When Zhao Anan’s cancer returned last year, he spared no efforts to arrange the doctors and hospital for her. He regarded her almost like his real sister. What had made him turn so distant at this moment?”

“You are out of your mind, Jing Yichen!” Jing Yiran bellowed furiously.

This couldn’t be happening. It was impossible! Jing Yichen should have cared a great deal about Zhao Anan. It was impossible for him to watch Zhao Anan die without doing anything about it.

Jing Yiran’s whole body was trembling now.

He had lost his last bargaining chip!

Since when did Jing Yichen turn so ruthless?

He would rather give up the inheritance rights, Jingsheng Enterprise’s shares and his cousin’s life just because he wanted to kill him?!

Was it true that he was going to die today?

He was not convinced! He was not convinced even on the verge of death!

The room was deadly silent. It felt as if Jing Yichen would pull the trigger the very next second and Jing Yiran would die.

Jing Yiran turned pale. The misery and fear of his upcoming death almost suffocated him.

Waiting was a long and painful process, especially waiting for one’s death.

Jing Yiran felt that blood was gushing out of the wounds on his body and the recently cured injury seemed to have burst open at this moment.

He might die even without Jing Yichen’s bullet.

For an unknowingly long time, he felt that he had lost all the meaning of being alive.

His pupils had lost focus when he saw a bullet aimed at the centre of his head.

Next moment, the bullet hit him, and soon he lost all awareness and the feeling of pain.

The loud sound of thunder covered the gun’s sound, but the smell of blood could not be concealed.

Jing Yichen waited for Jing Yiran’s heart to stop beating.

Ten minutes later, Jing Yiran was gone from the world in the true sense. Jing Yichen turned his gaze from Jing Yiran’s handsome, pale face and looked out of the window at the raging storm.

He said to Lu who looked equally pale, “Angel, you owe nothing to Family Jing, and Family Jing owes you nothing, now. My father’s message for you – you must get out of A City and this country today itself. You are now allowed to step on this land for as long as you live.”

Lu stood up slowly as she replied in a dry voice. “I accept it.”

Hearing her response, Jing Yichen looked at her, turned around and walked out.

Outside the villa, the storm had broken all the shrubs in the garden.

Jing Yichen’s tall figure was gradually enveloped by the storm but he did not cease his steps despite being completely soaked.

Tiger opened the car’s door instantly as he saw Jing Yichen coming out of the villa. He rushed towards him with an umbrella.

“Watch out for the heavy rain, Master. Don’t catch a cold!”

Jing Yichen replied calmly. “Doesn’t matter. Get in the car, let’s go home.”

He was just going to open the car’s door when Jing Yichen’s phone rang in his pocket.

He took out the phone in a hurry, and placed it over his ear.

Lee Duo’s hoarse yet excited voice came from the other side, “Master, Lady Cousin is well now. She is not injured, just extremely hungry. Doctor Mu is giving her the infusion!”
