Chapter 953: Despicable Thoughts (2)
By now, Wang Manpeng had fallen into a cyclical thought process. He stubbornly wanted to blame Ruan Qishan for everything.
“So, you thought that if you had been given the opportunity to chase me properly, I would have fallen for you?” Ling Tianya asked.
Wang Manpeng was caught off guard for a second before he replied, “Ling Tianya, you don’t need to rebuke me with words like this. Even if you hadn’t fallen in love with me, at least I would have given my love for you my best shot. Like now, I have brought you to me to pursue my love one more time.”
“With Gu Zhiqian’s face?” Ling Tianya said sarcastically.
Wang Manpeng’s expression instantly turned fierce. The joints of his hands made popping noises.
Zhang Ke, who stood behind Wang Manpeng, started to grow tense. She was genuinely worried that Wang Manpeng wouldn’t be able to take Ling Tianya’s verbal assault and would do something like cray, like almost strangling her to death again.
Thus, Zhang Ke looked at Ling Tianya and shook at her head, telling Ling Tianya not to anger Wang Manpeng any further.
Ling Tianya saw Zhang Ke’s warning, and she knew that her words would rile Wang Manpeng up. That was exactly why she had to say even more. She wanted to completely destroy Wang Manpeng’s illusion of love for her and tell him that she was no longer that young girl who would smile as she said, “Welcome”.
Wang Manpeng’s persistence towards her now actually stemmed from not being able to obtain her back then. That feeling had already taken root inside his heart. Although he said he loved her, after so many years, how much love could he really have?
“Ling Tianya, I advise you not to antagonize me. There is no good that can come out of it for you. I am already trying very hard to control my emotions. If I lose control, your life will be in danger,” Wang Manpeng warned her.
Ever since he had undergone the painful plastic surgery to turn himself into Gu Zhiqian, his inner state and emotions had also changed. To pretend to be someone else every single day was actually a very torturous thing. Therefore, Wang Manpeng had become short-tempered and completely unable to control his own emotions. His laziness was all an act to cover for his real emotions.
Seeing that Ling Tianya had stopped talking, Wang Manpeng continued, “When Ruan Zeyan decided to go to Country E to start his own business and asked if I wanted to go with him, I agreed without even thinking. Of course, I had to go with him! How else would I watch him die with my own eyes?”
“Since finding out the truth, I had wanted to turn the whole Ruan family upside down. I want every single person of the Ruan family to suffer a fate worse than death. Ruan Zeyan is more skilled than I am, and I can’t kill him on my own. Hence, I followed him to Country E and contacted KSI secretly, telling the people from KSI all of his movements. Terrorist organizations like this all need a large amount of funds to buy weapons and feed their members. So, I told them that Ruan Zeyan was the heir to the Ruan family, and as long as they caught him, the Ruan family would definitely pay a ransom to save him.”
“Those terrorists really believed my words and started preparing to ambush Ruan Zeyan. However, we still underestimated him. It isn’t an easy thing to capture him. Even when he was heavily injured and almost half-dead, he still stubbornly resisted. Then, the Ruan family’s people who received the news came as well. I knew then that it would be impossible to use Ruan Zeyan force Ruan Qishan to take his own life and gave up on that plan. To hide, I faked my death so I didn’t need to return to the Ruan family to be Ruan Zeyan’s shadow while still keeping my identity a secret.”
