"Ha ha ha ha……"
Chu Feihong's gaze flickered for a moment, then he slowly raised his head. The expression on his face, which had been frozen, became distorted, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up, forming a strange arc.
A harsh laugh erupted from deep within his throat, as unpleasant as metal scraping against glass.
His eyes were filled with a light that was a mixture of emptiness and absurdity. At that moment, the whole world seemed to become ridiculous in front of him.
This smile was his helpless acknowledgment of his bizarre fate, and also his helpless self-mockery after his self-belief nearly collapsed.
He was truly a forsaken child in God's eyes. Born the son of a hero, he lived his whole life in darkness and mud. He was born with pride, but in the final moments of his life, God used this cruel reality to shatter his rebellious spirit.
It turns out that he was the most ridiculous clown in the Chu family all along!
He thought his useless older brother, whom he had suppressed for half his life, was actually the mysterious and unpredictable master of the Shadow Blade; he thought his good-for-nothing son, who was just a nobody in the entertainment industry, was actually a hidden ace agent.
He valued Chu Liyue, the youngest of the group, but he never caught her eye and was never her match.
In the end, it was this identity of the hero's son, which he despised the most and abandoned the earliest, that made Chu Yuntian feel guilty towards him and protect him more.
If it weren't for Chu Yuntian's early protection, he might have been devoured by the Chu family, these wolves in sheep's clothing, leaving not even a bone fragment.
How ironic...
"You... get out of the way."
After a long while, he stopped his slightly manic laughter, pointed the gun at Chu Nanfeng, his eyes were cold and his voice was hard.
"Get out of the way!"
Under his dark, ferocious, and even somewhat insane gaze, Chu Nanfeng's eyes flickered slightly, and finally he moved slightly, shifting half a body distance away.
Then, Xiao Wujie, who had been hidden behind him, was revealed...
"Who are you?"
His extremely dark gaze was fixed on Xiao Wujie's stunningly handsome yet pale face. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke.
Noticing his dark and unpredictable gaze fall on Xiao Wujie, Chu Liyue's eyes instantly hardened. She took a half-step forward, shielding Xiao Wujie behind her. Her long hair fluttered, her gaze was cold and arrogant, and she exuded an aura of an unparalleled empress.
"Don't you know who I am?"
Xiao Wujie gently took Chu Liyue's arm, lowered his eyes, and said softly.
Who exactly are you?
Chu Feihong remained unmoved, his gaze still fixed on Xiao Wujie.
"Chu Feihong, if you're so eager to die, I don't mind sending you on your way."
Chu Liyue stared at Chu Feihong with indifferent and cold eyes, her voice chilling to the bone.
She had already calculated the distance, and given Chu Feihong's current condition, she was confident that she could kill him with a single blow before he could fire.
"Don't you find it strange? He knows everything about things that you couldn't find in five years in the capital, even though he's in Harbin."
"I silenced everyone who knew about these things, yet he secretly assisted the police in uncovering everything, along with those bizarre methods..."
"What exactly happened to him during those five years in Harbin? Didn't you ever suspect that the man beside you might be an imposter?"
Chu Feihong suddenly turned his gaze to Chu Liyue and spoke in a chilling tone.
When the last sentence was uttered, Chu Liyue couldn't help but pause for a moment, before coldly speaking out.
"Chu Feihong, are you teaching me how to do things?"
Xiao Wujie is by her side every day; how could she not know if he's an imposter? When has it ever happened that Chu Feihong could see through something, yet she couldn't?
She knew, of course, that Xiao Wujie harbored many secrets, but she disdained to pry into the privacy that others were unwilling to reveal.
Besides, everyone has secrets, and she also had many things she hadn't told him. She didn't think it would have any impact; on the contrary, she found Chu Feihong's dark speculation extremely distasteful.
"Chu Liyue, those involved are often blinded, while bystanders see things clearly. You're so smart, why don't you think about it? Many things just don't make sense!"
"Nonsense! If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place. You've done those shady things yourself, and now you're blaming others for finding out? That's just too shameless."
Chu Feihong had barely finished speaking when Chu Yuntian interrupted him coldly.
The dose of anesthetic injected by Chu Feihong was not very large, and thanks to his extraordinary physique, the effects of the anesthetic had already worn off by about 80-90%.
He stood up, supporting himself on the back of the chair, and stared at Chu Feihong with a cold, hard gaze.
"Feihong, it's no use saying anything now. You've already caught the murderer who killed your parents. You asked to see Wujie and Liyue, and they granted you the request. At this point, there's really no need for you to try to sow discord between them anymore."
"If you still consider me your father, put down your gun and come back with me. I promise you'll see them go on their way."
Chu Yuntian slowly walked to the front, looked directly at Chu Feihong, and said in a deep voice.
"Father... can't go back... can't go back..."
After a moment of stunned silence, Chu Feihong slowly raised his head, his gaze unfocused, but his hand was on the trigger of the gun in his hand.
Seeing his mentally deranged appearance, Chu Yuntian's eyes narrowed, and he snatched the dagger from the mercenary's waist, his voice cold and sharp.
"Chu Feihong, calm down!"
"There's no going back... there's really no going back!"
Chu Feihong's voice suddenly rose, and he abruptly raised the gun in his hand and pulled the trigger.
At the same instant, Chu Yuntian also threw his dagger out of his hand, which shot straight toward Chu Feihong with a whooshing sound.
