The Villain's Wife

151

"She's not your wife." Lisa calmly said.

"That's only because your father kidnapped her! He stole her from me!"

"You know that is not true!" Dae Un chimed in. She sent a disgusting look at Zhou Kang. "There is no way that I will like you no matter what you do!"

"See?" Zhou Kang gestured towards Dae Un, his eyes turned towards Lisa. "My Chittip... used to be so sweet and... kind and gentle! Look what happened after your father took her? She had become... like this after your father took her!"

Disbelief flashed in Dae Un's eyes. How could someone live in his own world and act like this?

"Give her to him," Lisa's cold voice surprised both Dae Un and Zhou Kang. Silence followed his words as Zhuo Kang almost ran towards Dae Un, elation apparent in his face.

However, before he could reach her, a loud bang echoed. Slowly, he felt his leg ached before he lost his balance and fell on the floor. The thought of being shot immediately made Zhou Kang react. He tried to raise his gun to shoot Lisa but the man holding Dae Un was quick to disarm him. "What are you doing?" he glared at Lisa. "I could blow this..."

"Oh... shut up!" the loud sound of metal clanking followed Dae Un's words. She walked towards Lisa's side. "Fool." She uttered.

"What..." Zhou Kang's face turned ugly as he realized that they played him. Seeing Dae Un in chains made him think that Lisa was serious in giving him his mother. He glared at Lisa, venom laced his eyes. "You tricked me!"

Lisa knew that Zhou Kang was unstable. He knew that the easiest way to manipulate him was using Dae Un, so he took advantage of this and used his mother as bait. "You used your mother to trick me! How dare you!?" In Zhou Kang's mind, Lisa was a monster for using her mother like this. "How could you... She abandoned you? Why are you still protecting her?" he asked.

"I'm not." Lisa shrugged and approached him, his gun still pointed at Zhou Kang's head. "You have been disturbing my peace lately." Right now, all Lisa wanted was to fly to Yunnan and retrieve Jennie. However, he needed to tread carefully. He knew that Jack is watching his every move. Because of this, Lisa developed a plan.

He needed to show Jack that he is convinced of Jennie's death. He needed to hide the fact that he was already looking for her. So he showed him a great show. "I am still grieving for my wife and you - you just can't stop bothering me."

Zhou Kang stared at him, speechless. So he was not protecting his mother, but is only upset that Zhou Kang bothered him? What kind of reasoning is this?

"So..." Lisa continued. "How does it feel?" He squatted near him and watched as blood flow from his wounded leg. "How does it feel to almost grasp... your dream?"

Lisa smiled when he saw Zhou Kang's pupils dilate. "This is how to feels to have something taken from you... Mr. Zhou." He said. "You know what is more painful than that wound?"

Zhou Kang opened his mouth, yet no words came.

"It's the fact that you almost got her, held her in your arms. Almost... that is a very painful word." Lisa said. "If I won't kill you now... I am sure that you will have nightmares of what happened today until the day you die."

"Kill me?" Zhou Kang sneered. "My men are outside! Waiting for me... If they will not see me come out in twenty minutes... they - they will blow up this place!"

"What men?" Lisa asked. "Oh..." he shifted his gaze towards the entrance. "You mean them?"

It was as if a cold bucket of water was poured inside Zhou Kang as he watched his men being dragged by men that he did not recognize. He scowled. "You useless piece of s***! You are all useless! I should have just killed you when I had the chance! Useless!" At this point, if Zhou Kang regretted something that is only not gathering more useful people on his side before coming in here. He had truly underestimated Lisa.
