Myriad Realms Gu Venerable

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 forced his mouth to speak hard.

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 spirit cover in the next moment is indeed very oppressive, especially when Ralph intentionally uses slow motion to prolong the time, which has a very significant psychological torture effect on people.

For an ordinary person, it is really possible to be frightened and run away.

So did Zhou Ming.

He raised his hand tremblingly, with a terrified expression, and stretched out his other hand to the car door, as if 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.

"Well, it seems that you already know my identity."

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

Ralph was unmoved and said in a steady voice.

"Is it because you despise us too much, thinking that we don't even understand this bit of information; or are you too confident in yourself, thinking that there is no need to pretend at all, and use such clumsy excuses to play tricks on us?"

"Hehe." Zhou Ming grinned, and shot suddenly, tilting his head to the side, lifting his knee, and hitting Ralph's hand holding the gun.

puff!puff!puff!
The bullets rushed out from the muzzle with the silencer installed, making a few muffled low noises. One bullet hit the back of the car seat, one shot pierced the rear car glass, and the other embedded in the roof of the car.

The next moment, the gun fell into Zhou Ming's hands, 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 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 could only choose to give in, and said angrily, "Drive!"

The car restarted, and quickly left the alley and returned to the main road.

"Disguise yourself as a pig and devour a tiger? Is this what you say in your hometown?" Adele asked in a low voice.

"Children don't have so many questions." Zhou Ming replied casually.

"I'm so young! Obviously you look smaller than me!" Adele puffed up her chest angrily, showing off her rich capital.

Zhou Ming was unmoved, his eyes fixed on Ralph, and he said: "Turn back."

Ralph obeyed obediently. After turning around, his posture didn't have to be so awkward, but he couldn't directly see the gun pointed at him anymore.

This put him even more pressure on the contrary. I don't know if Zhou Ming has been pointing the gun at him, what the other party is thinking, and whether the gun will go off in the next moment.

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 had said, but kept on the same road and went 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 astonishment appeared on her face: "Here, could it be, it 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 think about others, and miss the happy time when he and his father were together?"

"shut up!"

"To shut up!"

There were two shouts in succession, one from Adele and one from Ralph.

Looking at Ralph with an angry look on his face, 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 lady here according to the master's request. It doesn't matter if you have one more or one less." 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 sank, 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 passed through the gate, walked through the living room, entered the dining room, and saw Adrian sitting on the main seat, and a middle-aged man with an unshaven beard, who was sitting two chairs away from Adrian's left, gobbling .

Ralph did not follow the two of them in, but stood at the door and closed the door. In the spacious dining room that could accommodate 40 people, there were only four people, three men and one woman.

Hearing the sound of closing the door, the wolf-hungry middle-aged man stopped eating, looked up to see Adele, was a little dazed, then glared at Adrian angrily, "What do you mean!"

"It doesn't matter if there is one more." Adrian ignored the middle-aged man's words, muttered, picked up the wine glass, and drank the red wine in the glass.

"Kid, 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, sat down at the end of the long dining table, served himself a glass of wine, and saluted Adrian from afar.

Adrian ignored him, as if he really believed that Zhou Ming would do nothing just because of him, even if he had a gun in his hand.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, it's time for the last scene of this scene to be staged."

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

"Joya, 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 it's only halfway over!"

Gioia punched the table angrily, almost knocking the drink down and making Adele tremble.

Adele didn't understand why, obviously she came here with the mood of inquiring, but from the moment she entered this room, a bad premonition kept amplifying in her heart, causing her whole body to fall into a state of panic. In it, like a frightened rabbit, the heart is shrouded in haze, helplessness and panic.

The panic made her subconsciously want to find a sense of security, but the father standing behind her couldn't give her a sense of security.

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

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

As a result, Adele's eyes could only fall on the middle-aged man Jiaoya sitting opposite her again, and her eyes were filled with some complicated emotions.

"Of course, the time I promised was one month, but plans can never catch 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, Joya."

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

"Doris?" Gioia exclaimed in disbelief. Suddenly, as if he had just reacted, he stood up suddenly, pointed at Adrian and exclaimed: "You, you are hers..."

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

Adrian asked.

"So it is, so it is!"

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

"My family, including me!"

Adrian's face was full of emotional fluctuations for the first time tonight, his face was shaking, and his eyes gradually turned red.

"You see what they're doing and then you spread the word, you tell everybody!"

"That's right." Qiao Ya lowered her eyelids and whispered, "I told everyone, my friends, classmates at school, teachers, and the Internet..."

"The endless abuse and humiliation flooded Doris like a tide. You don't know how hard it is for her and how hard it is for us." Adrian's voice was trembling, and the words on Adele's shoulders His fingers were shaking too.

"All of this is because of you, Joya, all the beauty, warmth, and happiness we had have disappeared because of you!"

"That's why I've imprisoned you for 20 years, Mr. Joya."

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

After saying all this, Adrian's hands no longer trembled, and his whole body exuded a sense of relief. The secret he had carried for decades was finally spoken from his mouth, and his expression returned to calm.
