The Myriad Worlds Gu Zun

Chapter 17 The Truth

"Hey! Hey! Listen, I'm Adele's fiancé, you can't do this to me!"

Zhou Ming pretended to be brave and said forcefully.

Ralph didn't speak, but slowly brought the muzzle of the gun closer to Zhou Ming. The silencer on the muzzle was almost touching Zhou Ming's head, and his finger was on the trigger, tightening it little by little.

To be honest, this kind of action that may lift your Tianling Cap at the next moment is indeed very oppressive, especially since Ralph deliberately extended the time in slow motion, which has a very obvious effect of psychological torture on people.

An ordinary person might really be frightened and run away.

So does Zhou Ming.

He raised his hand tremblingly, with a frightened expression, and stretched his other hand towards the car door, making a move to open the door and get out of the car.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I'm leaving now, don't shoot."

His hand touched the car door, but stopped there. Looking at Ralph who was not moved at all, Zhou Ming suddenly smiled, and the previous frightened look disappeared.

"Okay, it seems you already know my identity."

"Mr. Zhang, as an excellent bodyguard, I thought that when you disguise your identity, you should at least change your appearance and change your name."

Ralph was unmoved and said in a steady voice.

"Are you too contemptuous of us, thinking that we don't even understand this bit of information? Or are you too confident in yourself, feeling that there is no need to pretend, and using such poor excuses and acting skills to trick us?"

"Haha." Zhou Ming grinned and suddenly took action, tilting his head to the side and lifting his knees, hitting Ralph's hand holding the gun.

puff! puff! puff!

The bullets rushed out from the muzzle of the silencer-mounted gun, making several dull low noises. One bullet penetrated the back of the car seat, another bullet penetrated the rear glass, and another bullet embedded itself in the roof of the car.

The next moment, the gun fell into Zhou Ming's hand, spinning in the air and pointing at Ralph's head.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Ming asked with a chuckle.

"Impossible." Ralph couldn't believe it, "A bodyguard of your price range has such skills?"

"Have you ever heard of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?" Zhou Ming said calmly: "Can you drive now?"

Ralph stared at Zhou Ming unwillingly. Under the threat of bullets, he had no choice but to give in and said unhappily: "Drive!"

The car started again and soon left the alley and returned to the road.

"Disguise yourself as a pig and eat a tiger? Is this also the saying in your hometown?" Adele asked quietly.

"Children have so many problems." Zhou Ming replied casually.

"How am I too small! You obviously look smaller than me!" Adele angrily held her chest up and held her head high to show off her wealth.

Zhou Ming was unmoved, staring at Ralph with his eyes, and said: "Turn back."

Ralph obeyed obediently. After turning around, his posture was no longer so awkward, but he could no longer directly see the gun pointed at him.

This only put more pressure on him. He didn't know if Zhou Ming had been pointing a gun at him, he didn't know what the other party was thinking, and he didn't know whether the gun would go off next moment.

The feeling of being pointed at the forehead is completely different from being pointed at the back of the head.

The three cars did not go in the direction of her home as Adele said. Instead, they stayed on the same route and headed to a place that Adele didn't even know.

Adrian was indeed waiting for Adele in that place, and Ralph was not lying about that.

However, this also made Adele's face paler, and the last illusion in her heart was shattered: the leader behind everything was indeed Adrian, her biological father, who really wanted to kill her.

Time passed quietly in such a depressing atmosphere until they drove into a villa.

"This is it." Zhou Ming looked at the scenery outside with great interest.

"Do you know this place?" Adele was a little surprised. How could Zhou Ming know about a place she didn't even know?

Suddenly, she thought of a possibility, and a bit of shock appeared on her face: "Could it be that this place was back then..."

"That's right, it was the former home of the Blanches family where a massacre occurred 27 years ago."

The smile on Zhou Ming's face was quite meaningful.

"It seems that your father is a very nostalgic person. Wouldn't he come here every now and then to see things and miss people, and miss the happy times he and his father were together?"

"shut up!"

"Shut up!"

Two shouts came in succession, one from Adele and one from Ralph.

Looking at the angry face of Ralph, Zhou Ming smiled contemptuously: "I can't tell that you are quite protective of the master. Why did you let me scare you with a gun and send me here obediently?"

"Damn you..." Ralph gritted his teeth, and Zhou Ming pointed the gun at his head, making him swallow the second half of his sentence.

"Hmph. Anyway, I have brought the young lady here as requested by the master. It doesn't matter if you have one more or one less than you." Ralph sneered.

The car stopped at the door and several people got out of the car. When the bodyguards in the car in front and behind saw the gun in Zhou Ming's hand, they immediately took out their pistols and pointed them at Zhou Ming.

"There's no need to be so nervous. Let them put down their guns. I tend to be impulsive when I'm nervous," Zhou Ming said.

Ralph's face was as dark as water and he ordered: "Put down the gun."

The bodyguards looked at each other and slowly put down their guns.

"Please!" Ralph said coldly.

The two of them walked through the door, the living room, and entered the dining room. They saw Adrian sitting on the main seat, and a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard, sitting two chairs away from Adrian's left and eating voraciously.

Ralph did not follow the two of them in, but stood at the door and closed it. In the spacious dining room that could accommodate forty people, there were only four people, three men and one woman.

Hearing the door closing, the middle-aged man who was eating voraciously stopped eating, looked up and saw Adele, a little stunned, then glared at Adrian and said angrily: "What do you mean!"

"One more, it doesn't matter." Adrian ignored the middle-aged man's words, muttered, picked up the wine glass, and drank the red wine in the glass.

"Little friend, I don't care what your purpose is, sit down and eat something first, give me a few minutes, and then you can do whatever you want."

Putting down the wine glass, Adrian said to Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming smiled and nodded, sitting down at the end of the long dining table, and served himself a glass of wine, toasting Adrian from a distance.

Adrian ignored him, as if he really believed that Zhou Ming would not do anything because of his words, even if he had a gun in his hand.

"Well, now that everyone is here, the last scene of this play should be staged."

Adrian stood up, straightened his suit like an old-fashioned aristocrat, walked to Adele who was standing blankly, took her hand and led her to the opposite side of the unkempt middle-aged man, and pressed her body on the chair.

"Qiao Ya, I gave you time to find the answer. Now I ask you, have you found the answer?"

Adrian stood behind Adele and asked the unkempt middle-aged man.

"You bastard, you said you would give me a month, and now only half of it has passed!"

Qiao Ya angrily punched the table, almost knocking over the wine, and also scared Adele's body.

Adele didn't understand why. She came here with the intention of asking for accusations. However, since she entered the room, she had a bad premonition in her heart that kept growing, making her feel panicky, like a frightened rabbit, with a haze, helplessness and fear in her heart.

The panic made her subconsciously want to find a sense of security, but her father standing behind her could not give her a sense of security.

She glanced at Zhou Ming, trying to get a sense of security from the man who promised her that he would guarantee her safety, but she could only fail again.

The damn man was shaking the red wine glass in his hand, as if he was watching a good show that was about to be staged with great interest, and he didn't even pay much attention to her.

So, Adele's eyes could only fall on Qiao Ya, the middle-aged man sitting opposite her, again, and her eyes were filled with some complicated emotions.

"Of course, I promised a month, but plans can never keep up with changes."

Adrian held Adele's face from behind and gently stroked her delicate face.

"When I learned that Adele was on the return flight, I realized that it was impossible for everything to go according to my plan. I could only send someone to invite you here temporarily, Qiao Ya."

"Do you remember what you did 27 years ago? Do you still remember the name Doris?"

"Doris?" Qiao Ya screamed in disbelief, and suddenly stood up as if she had just reacted, pointing at Adrian and screamed: "You, you are her..."

"She is my sister, Mr. Qiao Ya, now do you know why I have imprisoned you for 20 years?"

Adrian asked.

"So that's it, so that's it!"

Qiao Ya sat back in the chair in a daze, muttering: "You are taking revenge on me, you are taking revenge on me for what I did 20 years ago, you think I killed your family."

"My family, including me!"

Adrian's face was filled with emotions for the first time tonight, his face trembled, and his eyes gradually turned red.

"You saw what they were doing, and then you spread it everywhere, you told everyone!"

"That's right." Qiao Ya lowered his eyelids and whispered, "I told everyone, my friends, schoolmates, teachers, and the Internet..."

"Endless abuse and humiliation drowned Doris like a tide. You don't know how hard it was for her and for us." Adrian's voice was trembling, and his fingers on Adele's shoulders were also trembling.

"All this is because of you, Qiao Ya. All the beauty, warmth, and happiness we have disappeared because of you!"

"This is why I imprisoned you for 20 years, Mr. Qiao Ya."

"According to the agreement, if you can know my identity and the reason why I imprisoned you within a month, you will win. Now you already know it all, so you win."

After saying all this, Adrian's hands stopped shaking, and the whole person exuded a sense of relief. The secret that he had carried for decades finally came out of his mouth, and his expression returned to calm.
