The CEO's Woman

Chapter 402 Medicine

Simon’s expression was something that Jiang Yue never expected. She thought that he would attack her, become enraged and they would fight again. Who would have thought that he would just stare at her blankly?

Since she knew that Simon was still a threat, Jiang Yue nonchalantly picked up a gun and stayed away from him. "In less than two minutes, my husband will walk into that door with Secretary Jia to arrest you for killing the King."

"Now that the Kim family is almost extinct, the remaining members will come after your family members," she added. "I will change the constitution in this country and have the people elect a president. The monarchy political system would cease to exist in this country."

Jiang Yue knew that it would be a very tedious process, but it was the only way that she could help this country. She did not want to rule but she could help the country recover from its loses.

In fact, it was already something that Jiang Yue was thinking of since Gideon had told her that he wanted her to succeed the throne. She originally thought that it would be difficult as she was sure that the Li Family would turn down her idea the moment she brought it up.

She had even prepared a lengthy explanation for the Li Family’s Elders. Just to convince them that it was the best way to make the Li Family peaceful and at the same time still take care of their people. After all, they could still apply for the Presidency and serve the country.

Of course, Jiang Yue had already thought of the possibility that they would decline. She knew very well that changing the constitution would also lessen their influence. And it only meant they would be vulnerable against the Kim family.

However, she was still adamant about convincing them her plan of resolving that matter.

Thinking about her past worries immediately made Jiang Yue roll her eyes. She wasted a lot of time thinking about how she should convince them of her plan.

Who would have thought that, in the end, they would betray Jiang Yue like that? Now, all she needed to do was convince the ministers and the people. Which was actually very easy, considering that the King had already introduced her as his heir. Moreover, people were already aware of Jiang Yue’s kind acts. If she helped the government promote that ruling model, many would surely support her.

"I have never thought that you are this smart." Simon’s solemn voice woke her up from her stupor. "You would have become a great Queen."

Jiang Yue just scoffed at his words. What was so great about ruling a country? Managing a company with almost a thousand people was already extremely difficult. Imagine running a country with tens of millions of people. If she became the Queen, she would surely die from exhaustion in a matter of weeks.

Okay, maybe she was exaggerating. Still, that would be extremely tiresome.

To the Li Family, that was the true meaning of power, but to Jiang Yue, it was another responsibility. Something that she needed to take care of. Wouldn’t that only give her more stress and hinder her romance with her man?

"Why don’t you want to come to the Li Family?" Simon asked defeat was apparent in his tone. One wrong move and Jiang Yue could literally wipe out the whole Li Family from the face of the earth. Though Simon was a trained killer, he couldn’t afford to drag his wife and child to death just because of his one wrong move today.

"Simon... let me ask you one thing..." Jiang Yue said, ignoring his previous question. "Would you expect yourself to come with me if I threatened to kill your mother and told you that I sent someone to kill your wife?"

The man’s troubled face met Jiang Yue’s eyes. As she realized the reason Simon did not attack her. His mother and wife should still be around and were living in the Li estate. One wrong move from him and they would burn with the whole Li Family.

"I thought so too..." Jiang Yue said before walking towards Gideon. She then felt his pulse and shook her head. "He is dead."

"Not surprising though. Considering that he already had a weak body. Tell me... what was that medicine that you gave him?" She asked Simon, her gaze never leaving him.

"Something that would give him strength for a short period of time." He answered.

"From the Li Family?"

Simon nodded, without saying anything else. However seeing Jiang Yue’s interest in that medicine, he could tell that she must have known that something was not right.

Not that he could tell her more about it. His position was not high enough to know those things.

Jiang Yue pondered at Simon’s answer. That medicine was able to restore a sick man’s strength. He was able to fight toe to toe with Wang Ruo and even almost beat her up. Interesting, she thought.

However, before Jiang Yue could say anything else, footsteps were heard outside of the bunker, prompting them to turn their heads towards the door.

Jiang Yue could only heave a sigh of relief as men in uniform entered the room, including Secretary Jia.

"Miss Jiang... I am so glad that you are safe." He sighed. Jiang Yue was already declared as the next person to sit on the throne. Keeping her safe was also his priority. He then turned his attention towards Gideon and the Prime Minister as well as the Prince. He was not able to watch the other things that had happened inside the bunker so he did not have any idea what truly had transpired inside.

He immediately ordered his men to bring the King and Prime Minister’s bodies outside. The fact that they were dead was something that could greatly affect the whole country. Good thing the King had already declared Jiang Yue as an heir before passing.

Secretary Jia immediately asked his men to arrest Simon after Jiang Yue signaled him to do so.

"What’s wrong?" He immediately asked Jiang Yue when he noticed her gloomy state. He first thought that it was because of her father’s death, however, her worsening mood did not explain that.

Then, he heard Jiang Yue ask sternly.

"Where is he?"
