Chapter 27: Urban Superpower Dragon Aotian (starting with inverted V)
Tang Lingnan moved her fingers slightly, but she didn't say anything. She was ready to wait and see how Gao Hao wanted to solve the problem.
It's funny to say, these are all matters related to her, but she can't get involved at all. That's right, in the world of super powers, strength is supreme. The weak have no power to resist, and are never taken seriously by the strong.
Tang Lingnan was already prepared for the two people in front of her to turn against her at any time. She felt a cold and sticky murderous intent in the eyes of the so-called Lord Gong. This murderous intent wrapped around her, making her sixth sense send her sharp warnings all the time.
"This..." Gao Hao weighed his words carefully and spoke slowly, "Master Gong, our Gao family will do our utmost to gather what you want, no matter what. But a plant-based mutant... this... you know, this is extremely important to the Gao family."
Gong Qi smiled wickedly, not taking Gao Hao's rejection to heart. He didn't even look at Gao Hao, but stared at Tang Lingnan with extremely greedy eyes and licked his lips, enjoying the futile and vigilant gaze of his prey. He spoke nonchalantly:
"Gao Hao, you should know that half of the high-level psychics employed by the Gao family were introduced by me. If it weren't for me, do you think those arrogant psychics would be willing to be employed by a Gao family that only has some reputation in Qingcheng?" So, are you sure you want to reject me?
Gao Hao used his knuckles to clench the teacup in his hand, understanding the implicit threat from Gong Qi.
If it weren't for Gao Rujiao, he would never agree to form an alliance with Gong Qi. Even for the sake of the Gao family's voice, he could not tolerate Gong Qi stepping into level 5 like this. Once he advanced, the Gao family would become Gong Qi's vassal. He absolutely could not and would not watch such a thing happen.
Seeing that Gong Qi was determined to get Tang Lingnan, Gao Hao no longer maintained his polite facade. He put down his teacup and directly refused in a cold voice, "I'm sorry, but I don't agree. Plant-type mutants are too important to the future development of the Gao family. The Gao family can't just give them up like that. Besides, Mr. Gong, the alliance we signed at the beginning didn't include this, did it?"
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was becoming increasingly tense, Tang Lingnan tried hard to reduce his presence and shouted frantically in his heart: Fight, fight, fight quickly! Only by fighting can I slip away.
After hearing these unexpected words, Gong Qi cast his slightly cold gaze on Gao Hao. His smile became even more sinister, and the horrifying scar on his face looked like a flowing centipede, as if it would hiss out from his face in the next second.
"I'm really surprised, Gao Hao, do you still think you have the right to disobey me?"
What's the meaning
Gao Hao's heart sank. He stared at Gong Qi's increasingly sarcastic smile and asked calmly, "What do you mean, Mr. Gong? If it weren't for the Gao family's help, Mr. Gong would probably be dead by now. Why do you say that? After all, as a wanted criminal nationwide, I'm afraid there's no place for Mr. Gong in the entire Kyushu region except for the Gao family."
Gong Qi sneered a few times. He looked at the famous head of the Gao family with a new perspective. He touched his chin and finally couldn't help laughing.
This is truly fascinating. Gao Hao devoted his entire life to research, only to be ultimately defeated by his neglected little daughter. He should be able to write a fine play. If it were released, it would surely be packed with audiences, eager for applause!
He, Gong Qi, will definitely be the first to attract audiences!
He burst into laughter, and even a few tears seeped out of the corners of his eyes. Gao Hao looked at Gong Qi's artificial performance coldly. He didn't know what was going on in the mind of this neurotic madman at this moment.
After a long while, Gong Qi finally seemed to have stopped laughing. He straightened up and said lazily, "Since you know I'm a wanted criminal in Jiuzhou, you're not curious," he said with a strange smile, "Why am I wanted by the whole Jiuzhou?"
Not understanding why Gong Qi asked such an obvious question, Gao Hao replied cautiously, "It's not because of Mr. Gong's ability. Mr. Gong's ability can actually increase the level of others' abilities and help them evolve. Such a terrifying ability must have been persecuted by the upper echelons, which is why it has fallen to this point."
Gao Hao felt something was wrong but didn't know what it was. He restrained his previous arrogance and lowered his posture. He also secretly flattered Gong Qi and praised the other party's supernatural powers to a very high level.
She bet that was definitely not the case. Tang Lingnan, who was listening carefully nearby, noticed something amiss. Based on her simple perspective, she firmly believed that this guy was wanted by the entire Nine Provinces because he had done something truly awful. There was no way he was some innocent, spotless white lotus, framed by a villain simply because his powers were too powerful.
This face, at first glance, doesn't look like a good person. It's best for him to be in the same nest with Gao Hao, and let the dogs bite each other. Tang Lingnan curled his lips, praying frantically in his heart that the two would turn against each other quickly.
Hearing Gao Hao's innocent answer, Gong Qi couldn't help but burst out laughing. He barely suppressed the itch in his throat and smiled, but his words were filled with a snake-like cold mockery:
"Aren't you curious? They are obviously well-known psychics, yet they are willing to die for me, just because I was wrongly accused and because I can help them improve their abilities." As he spoke, a few more laughs escaped from his throat. "Hahaha, how could I not know that the head of the Gao family is so naive? So naive that I even find him a little pitiful and cute."
Admiring Gao Hao's suddenly changed expression, Gong Qi felt more and more satisfied with the good show Gao Rujiao had put on for him. He explained slowly, "The reason they dare not disobey me is very simple. It's not because of profit, but because..."
"Their lives are in my hands!" He laughed out loud, his laughter full of teasing and madness. For a moment, the only sound in the room was Gong Qi's crazy laughter.
His face was so ugly. Tang Lingnan secretly observed Gao Hao's extremely gloomy expression and applauded Gong Qi. Well done! She had long disliked this scumbag with a human face and a beastly heart. What's with all the pretense? If you really want to be polite, please don't tie me up. It's just pretense, bah!
After a while, Gao Hao barely managed to control his facial expression and suppress the murderous intent surging in his heart. He twitched the corners of his mouth and said with a half-smile, "Mr. Gong, have you forgotten that at the very beginning, when Mr. Gong was on the verge of death, he used his own supernatural powers to swear to the world and form an alliance with the Gao family?"
If it weren't for this alliance, even if Gao Rujiao said something terrible, with his cautiousness, he would never cooperate with such a person who was obviously uncontrollable. Watching Gong Qi die like this was Gao Hao's style.
Hearing this, Gong Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I really didn't expect that Gao Hao, you would actually think that the agreement is your trump card. Yes, I did make an alliance, but unfortunately-"
The performance was too obvious, and Tang Lingnan secretly complained about Gong Qi's lack of sincerity.
"That covenant was made with me, father." Gao Rujiao was wearing a floor-length dress shimmering with stars, her face was made up with gorgeous and beautiful makeup, and her hairstyle was exquisite and elegant. She lifted the hem of her skirt lightly, stepped gracefully through the fallen door and walked slowly, as if she was walking on the Avenue of Stars, extremely solemn.
At this moment, Gao Rujiao releases her aggressive beauty without reservation. She is a rose with thorns. Even though the thorns may be easily broken by a strong person, the rose still stands proudly and beautifully.
Even Tang Lingnan, as a woman, was caught by this breathtaking beauty for a moment and held her breath.
She reacted immediately, and couldn't help but roar in her heart. She stood in the corner with her ears erect and ate the melon openly.
Is this a story about a father and daughter falling out? Damn, the rich really know how to play games. The novel really doesn't lie to me.
In this brief moment, countless bloody plots that he had read in novels in his previous life flashed through Tang Lingnan's mind.
It has to be said that eating melons is really human nature. Even in such a critical situation, Tang Lingnan was still as excited as a badger digging for melons frantically in a melon field. He could be said to be fighting for his life on the front line of eating melons.
"Rujiao..." Looking at this daughter whom he had never really taken seriously, Gao Hao suddenly understood something. For the first time, he took his daughter's figure into his sight completely. In a trance, he discovered that his daughter had grown up so much. She was very similar to her mother, both in appearance and personality, they were exactly the same.
Even before, when Gao Rujiao showed the so-called special ability of a prophet, Gao Hao had never really paid attention to this daughter. Perhaps it was because he did not believe from the bottom of his heart that this daughter who had been raised in the deep courtyard of the Gao family could do anything earth-shaking. Unexpectedly, in the end, Gao Hao actually fell into the trap of the daughter he cared the least about.
But Gao Hao still didn't understand why Gao Rujiao did this. The Gao family had never owed her anything, and he believed that apart from neglecting her a little, he had never done anything to let her down. Why did Gao Rujiao hate him as a father so much?
No one knows a father better than his daughter. Seeing Gao Hao's expression, Gao Rujiao understood that her stubborn father still did not think he was wrong. She smiled, and the whole room was bright in an instant. However, this beauty, although beautiful, was lifeless.
"My dear father, you still don't understand, but never mind, I don't care anymore." Yes, I don't care anymore, Gao Rujiao told herself again.
Gao Hao didn't understand the meaning, just as he didn't understand that his wife, the honorable wife of the Gao family, was willing to abandon her two daughters, jump off a tall building, and swear to never see him again in her life. He clearly gave her the love that no one else could ever get.
Gao Rujiao no longer looked at the man she once admired but now hated. She covered her lips with her hands and looked at Tang Lingnan, saying with a smile, "Tang Lingnan, right? It's a pity. It seems you must die here today."
Here it comes, Tang Lingnan raised the highest level of alert in his heart.
【Author’s words】
The story between Gao Hao and his wife is a complete tragedy, but neither of them is a good person, it's just that one of them is more love-minded.
