Chapter 308: The last trap.
Mo Liang’s mouth trembled. He didn’t shout. He didn’t lunge. Nevertheless, he was angry and his fists clenched so tightly that the veins in his arms bulged like roots of a tree under strain.
Jingzhe tugged on his ear and crossed one leg over the other. "I have already been recognized by the royal family as the father of the future Princess Jun Mingzhu. If someday that crown falls in Prince Long Wu’s arms for any reason, I will be the father of the Empress."
Mo Liang’s breath grew ragged. His vision tunneled. And then--he coughed.
Blood fell through his open mouth and splattered the floor.
Jingzhe drew his feet back with a look of disgust on his face. "Hey, I don’t know what you caught in prison but don’t infect me with it. Or perhaps it is that alien parasite which you brought back from space. By the way I paid around ten online fake news companies to spread that misinformation as much as they could.
I even made sure that it remained the one trending topic for two days and after two days, it stayed in the top ten topics for a week.
To be honest, I was hoping that they would cut you open and you would die on the operation table but the Empress ruined it by poking her nose where it didn’t belong."
That was the biggest reason why he accepted to participate in the mission of getting rid of the Empress. She was Mei Mei’s enemy and all such enemies needed to go.
Another cough. Mo Liang bent down and more blood poured from his mouth.
Jingzhe’s ears twitched, he could hears footsteps in the hallway. He could also hear Mingzhu’s voice and Mei Mei’s.
Quickly, he jumped up and went towards Mo Liang, grabbing his hand. He pulled it towards his cheek while shouting, "Don’t do this, you are committing a crime. I am going to call the police."
The footsteps increased and Jun Meilin walked into the living room. The first thing she saw was her ex punching Jingze on the cheek.
