The CEO's Woman Chapter 242 'WHY'

Chapter 242 “WHY“

Jiang Yue immediately felt the danger as her senses heightened. Her instincts told her that something was definitely wrong. Her mind was telling her to run, call Bei Ye, who was just a few feet away or w.a.n.g Bolin, who was waiting downstairs. Yet, she decided she was being silly and went inside instead.

How dangerous could Fu Jin's office be? Were there any deadly traps that Fu jin left for her? Jiang Yue shook her head at her silly thoughts. She then made her way into the sleeping area of Fu Jin's office and then to the vault that was hidden on his bookshelves.

Jiang Yue entered the pa.s.sword with ease and retrieved a little USB. Then she made sure to close the safe. Jiang Yue wondered why Fu Jin would leave an important USB in his office instead of bringing it home.

Again, Jiang Yue shook her head. She was feeling helpless against Fu Jin's train of thought.

However, before Jiang Yue could step out of Fu Jin's room, a hand grabbed her from behind and covered her mouth, preventing her from saying anything.

"Shhh... they are here." A raw voice echoed beside her ear. The voice behind her was slightly deep, familiar, yet she knew that it was the first time that she heard such a voice.

Jiang Yue instantly recovered from the situation and stomp the foot of the man behind her.

"Don't move..." the man's words were interrupted when Jiang Yue elbowed him and twisted the arm that was used to cover her mouth.

The man let out a surprised gasp before he swung his other arm in an attempt to hold her. Yet, he failed. Jiang Yue's movements were agile and too quick for him.

The fight lasted for almost a minute before they were interrupted by some footsteps outside of Fu Jin's office.

"I told you to stay quiet!" the man hissed.

Jiang Yue stood in front of the man. Ready to dash and kill. She narrowed her eyes and looked at his features: definitely, someone who was familiar to her.

Then her eyes widened. "Xiaolan?"

"Who else?" In response, Fu Xiaolan's posture relaxed as he gave her a smile.

"Why the h.e.l.l are you here?" she asked, her brows furrowed.

"I will tell you later. For now, I want you to trust me."

Jiang Yue scoffed. "Right, that would be as easy as one, two, three."

"I am serious," he said. "If I am right, they are already aware that you are inside."

Fu Xiaolan's words instantly made Jiang Yue froze.

Right! Bei Ye was still outside. She immediately clenched her jaws and asked, "Who send them?"

"Li Qiang."

Again Fu Xiaolan's answer rendered her speechless. Li Qiang? What the h.e.l.l was going on here?

"Let's talk later. We need to... "

"Miss Jiang.... we know you are in there." A gruff voice was heard outside of Fu Jin's office, interrupting their conversation.

"We know you're awake... Come outside... Don't worry we will not hurt you!" the voice added.

Jiang Yue narrowed her eyes before taking her phone out of her pocket. She was about to dial w.a.n.g Bolin when she heard the voice said, "Don't bother calling anyone. Or we will kill your bodyguard now."

With these, she just pressed the number one before shoving her phone back into her jacket.

"Miss Jiang... don't make us wait too long... or we might lose our patience and accidentally kill your bodyguard." another voice rang inside Fu Jin's office.

"d.a.m.n." Fu Xiaolan cursed. "Do you have a plan?"

"NO." she answered, truthfully. "Do you know how many men are there?"

"I don't know... maybe ten?" he answered.

Jiang Yue bit her lips, her mind a.n.a.lyzing every possible scenario, as her heart started racing.

"Miss Jiang... I suggest you behave and come out now! Otherwise, we will kill him."

"How about we count from one to ten? Hmmm?"

"Ten, nine, eight..."

Fu Xiaolan started fidgeting, as he anxiously looked at Jiang Yue. He originally came here to obtain the list first. He would have never thought that Jiang Yue would also come to Fu Jin's room at the same time.

"I'll go outside." she declared. "Alone."

"What? No! Fu Jin will go crazy if something happens to you." he objected. Was she crazy? Why would she go out there alone?

"I can manage myself." Jiang Yue said before giving her phone to Fu Xiaolan. "Call Fu Jin. Let him know what is happening and wait for my signal. Remember, you can only come out when I say the word 'WHY'.

"Three... two... one..."

"Kill..."

"Wait!" Jiang Yue's voice echoed, rendering everyone speechless. "I'll come out. Don't hurt him."

"Young Miss don't..." Bei Ye was not able to finish his words when one of the men in black struck him with something hard. For a moment, Bei Ye felt dizzy. His vision turned into a blur, as he tried to make out of the scene in front of him.

He saw Jiang Yue walking out of Fu Jin's room with raised hands, holding her high heeled shoes.

"Let him go." Jiang Yue said while sending a side glance towards Bei Ye.
