The Manipulated Villainess

Chapter 195 - Love Sure Is Powerful



"Chairman Jun!"

"Answer me, Chairman!"

Aston shouted when he heard the sound of a gunshot through the call! Panicked, he speeds up his car, not caring about the limits or even laws.

About three minutes passed when Aston saw the car of the Chairman being parked on the side of the road but... the scene next to it turned his face pale all at once!

Quickly, he gets off his car and rushed to the car where the Chairman was lying unconscious right beside it! When he turned Carson Jun\'s body, he saw the gunshot wound on the right of his belly!

Peter Jung had nothing to lose now and... that made him willing to do anything. Anything.

It had been a while since the actor couldn\'t be in his clear mind. He was worried about Nicole and that drove him to the verge of insanity! However, he couldn\'t give up on the Chairman\'s life while his breath was still there.

First, he called for an ambulance and seek help. Second, he called Garcia Han and informed her about the situation. The Minister of Justice rushed to their location right away!

Aston Kang couldn\'t do anything and he had no medical knowledge. However, he pressed the wound and tried his best to stop the bleeding. If this goes on, Carson Jun won\'t last till the ambulance arrived!

The actor didn\'t know if it was a good thing or not when a car passed the road he was in. When the two people in the car saw him and the injured Chairman, they quickly gets off and ran to him.

"What happened?" the woman inquired, staring down at him with an ashen face. Of course, she recognized the top actor. However, this wasn\'t a common situation.

When the other person who was a man arrived, he quickly crouched down. "It\'s a gunshot wound," he uttered.

Aston didn\'t know what to do. In such a situation, he finds it hard to trust anyone now. Everything always happened too sudden!

"Let me help," the middle-aged man uttered. "I\'m a doctor."

"My husband is a trauma surgeon. You should trust him if you want to save your friend," the woman said to him in an assuring voice when she noticed the reluctance in the actor\'s eyes.

Realizing that he wasn\'t in a position to doubt, Aston retreated and the doctor immediately took over. As there was no surgical equipment to use, he was struggling but still... he didn\'t give up and continued treating him the best he could.

In no time, the ambulance arrived and was followed by Garcia Han. The Minister of Justice appeared so distressed when she rushed to them. She holds Carson Jun as he was carried by the medics using a stretcher. Tears were rolling down her eyes when she saw his severe wound.

"What happened?" she asked Aston in a hoarse voice. In her situation, no one would be able to compose themselves!

"I can\'t explain for now. Nicole is still missing and I have to find her," Aston quickly said and added, "Please don\'t worry and look after the Chairman. I will try to find Nicole. Inform the police about this and -"

He couldn\'t finish his words as his phone went off. "Return with the ambulance. The Chairman needs you," he said before he answered the call.

Garcia Han was feeling torn! However, when she realized that she shouldn\'t delay the ambulance, she nodded and do as Aston said. Then the actor finally picked up the call.

"Hello."

"Aston Kang, it\'s been a while."

The actor raised a brow when he heard the familiar voice. He tightly clenched his fist which was covered with the Chairman\'s blood. "Peter Jung," he grunted.

"Seems like the tables have turned," Peter Jung remarked with a light chuckle. "Where did all your menacing and confident talk that night gone?" the Prime Minister pointed out. "You\'re just like your father. You only create problems for me."

"Where is Nicole?" Aston asked. His suppressed rage was more than evident in his tone!

"You miss your little lover?" Peter Jung asked in a mocking yet challenging tone. "Do you want to see her?"

"If you lay a hand on her, I will kill you no matter where you are," Aston warned in a deadly low voice.

"You should be begging me to spare her, not threatening me," Peter Jung simply said as if he was annoyed. "If you want to see her, you can come here, alone. If you bring anyone with you or inform the police about the location, you will never see her again."

Aston Kang clenched his fist even tighter to the point where his nails dug his palms! However, he can\'t lose control. Nicole\'s life was on the line!

"Give me the address. I\'ll come."

Peter Jung laughed, maybe out of amusement. "I was right. I know that you will be able to do anything to save her. What a hero!"

"I\'ll come, alone and no police involved. But if you lay a hand on her, you will regret."

"Fine," Peter Jung simply agreed and ended the call.

When Aston gave a quick thought, he realized that the chance for Peter Jung to track his calls and messages were low. He won\'t be able to get such help now. So, he only typed a single text message for his friend and sent it. Then he received the address from Peter Jung and also an order to get rid of his phone right now.

The actor switched off his phone and then threw it away. Then he entered his car and started driving towards the address.

It wasn\'t far as the address only needs half an hour drive to reach from the place where the Chairman was shot. Aston gets off his car and entered the building which seemed to be an abandoned one.

Daniel Gu was the one who came to him before he could reach the inner part of the building. He searched the actor thoroughly and even took away the watch that Nicole gave him. That was where the tracking device was hidden but... it\'s good enough. He already reached the location.

Aston was sure that what awaited him won\'t be wonderful. However, he made his way to the inner part of the building without any reluctance. He could only think of one thing - saving the woman he loved.

Daniel Gu walked past him and he followed the man. He felt too tempted to beat him up but... he holds it back for the sake of Nicole.

Finally... he saw Nicole. She was tied to a chair and her mouth was sealed by duct tape. When she saw him, her eyes grew wide and she shook her head, urging him not to come closer, that it was dangerous. Not to mention that Peter Jung was standing right behind her, pointing a gun at her head!

Aston\'s heart broke at the helpless sight of his lover! She was smiling happily right beside him just a little over an hour ago! And now, she was at the mercy of that monster!

"Stop there!" Peter Jung snapped, forbidding Aston to walk any closer. Then Daniel Gu took Peter Jung\'s place.

Peter Jung took a seat on the chair in the actor\'s left, observing him as the latter stared at his lover who was in front of him.

"I discovered that you are the twin of Shara and... the one who convinced Cassandra Lim to fool me," Peter Jung started and it made Aston understood what was going on.

Peter Jung wanted to make him pay for that. From the beginning, his target was him and not Nicole.

Aston turned to his left, gazing at the Prime Minister with no fear. "Are you trying to pay me back for doing the right thing?" he inquired with a mocking tone.

"You should watch your words," Peter Jung warned him in a stern voice. "You might regret once your woman lies in your arms without a soul."

Aston knew that he was right. He was in no position to trigger the gaze of Peter Jung while a bullet could invade Nicole\'s head anytime. He briefly shifted his gaze to his lover who had tears rolling down her face. This scene pierced his heart!

"What do you want?" he finally asked Peter Jung.

"You\'re indeed smart," the Prime Minister remarked. "I can see the blazing rage in your eyes yet you still managed to maintain your composure. Love sure is powerful."

Peter Jung briefly glanced at Nicole before he turned to Aston with a playful smile. "If you love her that much, how about this? Get down on your knees and beg me to spare her life. You can do that much for her, right?"
