Chapter 485 - Not The One They Knew

Underworld base.

Jiang Zhen was laughing hard as he enjoyed everyone's shocked faces. "Ah, I was waiting for this moment. The man you trusted to be the Chief of your security forces and the man who was about to become the son-in-law of your family turned out to be a traitor. How does it feel?"

Jiang Ninghong fumed. "Impossible! Stop feeding lies! Shen Yang will never betray us! He loves Ruiling from his heart."

He sighed. "Guess you will only believe it when you hear it from the horse's mouth. Shen Yang. Why don't you tell them yourself? At this point, they wouldn't believe anything I will say."

Shen Yang smiled. "Yes, Boss."

His gaze met Jiang Ninghong's, and he stared straight at her as he confessed. "I work under my Boss, Jiang Zhen. I entered the Underworld to increase Boss's influence and trigger a war amidst all the gangs at the right time. It was easier to control them as the Chief. When it was time, I played the card and turned all Jiang Wei's gangs against them. The ones who refused to yield were killed."

He said it with an emotionless and impassive tone as if it wasn't a big deal at all.

Jiang Li was beyond enraged. "Shen Yang!!! Have you lost it!?"

"I haven't. It's the truth."

"Shut up! If you were the mole of this bastard, then why bother acting in love with my sister!? What did it have to do with all this!?"

He chuckled. "Nothing. But I was bored. There was so much time to spare, so I might as well hook up with your sister. She loved me anyway, so why not pass some time with her?"

The Jiang family was horrified to hear his words. The Shen Yang they knew was loyal, respectful and so loving towards Jiang Ruiling.

But now, he was cold and cruel. He talked as if Jiang Ruiling was some toy to him that he discarded as trash.

Lihua stared at him in a stupor. Her eyes stung with tears, and she trembled.

"You…don't talk as if y-you don't care about Jiang Ruiling at all."

He turned and faced her. "I am talking like this because I don't care about her at all. It was fun going on dates with her and fooling her."

She gritted her teeth. "Shen Yang! Are you in your senses!? Do you know how much she loved you!? And you...you used her feelings for your leisure!"

He sneered. "Love? Love is absolutely useless. And you should thank me. Now that you know how much of a bastard I am, you should be thankful that I didn't…" his eyes twinkled, "sleep with her yet."

She froze.

"Do you understand how easy it was for me to take her to bed? But I didn't. Do you know why? Because I wanted to enjoy her AFTER I break all her fantasies of me. It would be more fun that way, right? Anger, tears, betrayal, begging, pain...I wanted to see all those emotions in her face. But sadly, she disappeared."

Jiang Weiyuan's face was blacker than coal. He was always calm and silent by nature, but hearing such crass intentions for his daughter made his blood boil in anger.

Jiang Zhen smiled. "Jiang Li, control your anger. Or do you want me to shoot at your other thigh too?"

Jiang Lanying burst into sobs and pulled him back despite his violent protests. "Li, please don't…"

"What don't!? Didn't you hear what he just said!? My sister... treating my sister as a fucking toy! Who does he think he is!"

Jiang Ninghong grew pale. Her breaths grew haywire. Old Madam and Jiang Yubi quickly held her shoulders. Both were in tears too.

"Ninghong…"

"Why... Ruiling...she loves him so much...When she will come to know the truth…"

How heartbreaking would it be for her? She had fought against Old Madam to be with Shen Yang. But who knew that all her feelings were mere entertainment for him?

Jiang Zhen laughed. "Am I not just great? He kept me providing precious information about your family," he sneered, "You didn't even doubt him. He had melded himself into the Jiang family so thoroughly. When he told me that you and Song Lihua were separated, I knew it was the right time to declare war. Had Shen Yang not hammered into me, I wouldn't have believed that you could fall in love so hard with some woman. But now that woman has left you. How could you focus on the Underworld? From that time, Shen Yang began to cause clashes between the gangs. All those accusations against Wei were handled by him."

Wei remained silent.

Jiang Lanying bit her lip. "But we all heard Shen Yang saying that he met the woman who charged prostitution case against Wei!"

Shen Yang raised his brow. "Yes, I did. But it wasn't to convince her to take the case back. I was giving her orders on what to do. I learned that Mo Huojin was working with Wei."

Jia narrowed her eyes.

"He wasn't the ideal cop who I wanted her to lodge her case with. So, I sent her to Su Liao."

She widened her eyes.

Jiang Fai punched his fist on the ground. "You! Then what about the man who disguised into the prison and bribed the inmate to attack cousin?"

"That was me."

"But the neighbor-"

"Said that she saw Xian Xue throwing the disguise in the garbage?" He chuckled. "I had lied."

Everybody was stupefied.

Jiang Li gritted his teeth. "Then what about the mark on the back of your neck? You have accused Xian Xue."

"Indeed. It was actually a coincidence which played in my favor. There was a scratch mark on my neck. But I covered it with foundation, and later it got healed. Xian Xue was right. It was kind of the mark one got from making out. But it wasn't with Ruiling."

They froze.

"Heh. He had said that just because I didn't do it with Ruiling didn't mean that I couldn't do it with another woman. He was right again.. Since I was waiting for the right time to eat my fiance, I let out my sexual needs with other women."
