Chapter 342: The Siege in the Apocalypse (19)
Just three days later, Bai Tian and Guan Qi and a few other brothers arrived. They agreed to Wen Wan's plan, but they needed to first ascertain Gu Qingqing's true nature. They did not want to harm an innocent person without solid evidence.
So the group decided to first determine whether Gu Qingqing was innocent.
The opportunity soon came when Gu Qingqing invited Wen Wan to hang out. Wen Wan, unlike her previous refusals, readily agreed.
Gu Qingqing laughed and said, "I always thought that Sister Wen Wan didn't like me and didn't want to play with me."
Wen Wan: "Why would you think that? I'm just used to quiet and solitude, it has nothing to do with you."
"Really? That's good. I was worried for a long time. Sister Wen Wan, I noticed you've been wearing a mask the whole time. Is your face injured?"
Wen Wan touched the mask with feigned sadness, "I'm disfigured, so I have to wear a mask."
"Disfigured?"
Gu Qingqing was shocked, and her expression almost went out of control. "Sister Wen Wan, don't be sad. Brother Gu Yan definitely likes you as a person, and he doesn't care about your face. You don't need to worry too much."
That's what she said on the surface, but Wen Wan heard her true feelings.
"So she really is an ugly monster. No wonder she's always wearing a mask and doesn't dare to take it off. I need to find a way to make her expose herself in public, so that Gu Yan can see that the woman he cares about is actually a disfigured ugly monster, and so that Bai Tian and the others can see that the woman they fawn over every day is an ugly monster."
Wen Yan: "..."
This level of malice is too high. Even if she's ugly, what did she do to deserve this?
Because she was thinking about how to get back at Wen Wan, Gu Qingqing ended up going further and further away without even realizing it.
Finally, they arrived at an open space, and Gu Qingqing came to her senses.
"Where is this? How did I get here?"
Wen Wan shook her head. "I don't know either. We might be lost. I'll contact Gu Yan and ask him to come pick us up."
Soon Wen Wan contacted Gu Yan, and the two waited for Gu Yan to come and pick them up.
"When my brother arrives, I need to let him see Wen Wan's face clearly." So Gu Qingqing didn't rush to leave.
Meanwhile, in the shadows, Shirata and his group followed discreetly, finding hidden spots to conceal themselves and keeping a close watch on their opponents at all times.
Wen Wan suddenly asked, "Is there some misunderstanding between your family and Gu Yan?"
"What? What misunderstanding? What did your brother say to you?" Gu Qingqing felt a little guilty, and Yuan Yuan shook her head. "He didn't say anything. I just felt that he didn't seem to like talking about his family."
“My brother’s parents passed away, and my parents adopted him. There were some misunderstandings. I was young at the time and felt that he had stolen my parents’ affection, so I never liked him very much and did some immature things. But later I realized that we are family after all and are related by blood.”
"As for my parents, I only found out later that they didn't like my brother very much and sometimes beat and scolded him. But later my parents regretted it, but my brother had already run away from home and never came back. Our whole family wants to make it up to my brother."
Wen Wan: Hehe.
The thing you said was being inconsiderate was throwing away Gu Yan's exam admission ticket before the college entrance exam. That really is inconsiderate!
As for what your parents said about beatings and scoldings, locking you in the basement for a day or two being common, cutting off your income, making you drop out of high school, etc.
To make amends for guilt?
It probably doesn't exist. Even if it did later, it was because they wanted to get something out of Gu Yan. They're a family of trash. Wen Wan felt sorry for Gu Yan.
"Then why are you alone? Where are your parents?"
“We got separated by accident. I’ve tried to look for them, but I haven’t been able to find them. I’d like to ask my brother to help me look for them. I’m sure he’ll agree.”
Wen Yan: "..."
Go ahead, I can't listen anymore, you're full of lies.
"Gu Qingqing".
"Huh?" Gu Qingqing looked into Wen Wan's eyes, and then it was as if she saw a deep pool, or the most terrifying thing.
Wen Wan took control of Gu Qingqing's consciousness.
"Tell me, where are your parents? Why aren't they with you?"
"When we encountered zombies, they told me to run first, but I was scared and ran away."
"So you didn't go back to find them?"
Gu Qingqing: "No."
"So how many people have you dated?"
"Three people."
Do you love them?
"I don't love you. I don't have any superpowers. In order to survive, I relied on this face to get involved with some teams of superpowered people."
"Then why did you kill them?"
"I didn't kill them. They were killed by zombies. They made me run away. I just didn't want to die."
"You really... don't have any superpowers?"
"I have."
"What kind of superpower?"
"Water-based level 2, 3A talent."
"Then why did you pretend you didn't have any superpowers?"
"I want to live. People are naturally compassionate towards the weak."
"Why are the zombies surrounding those people? Did you attract them?"
"Yes, I just wanted the crystal core, I didn't mean to."
"You wanted the crystal core to attract zombies, you ran away, and you were the only one who survived, right?"
"right."
"And Chen Gong? Do you love him?"
"I don't love him. I just see him as my protector. He's stupid and looks so ordinary. Although he's not bad at it, he's too loyal. He values his brothers more than me. Several times he's scolded me because of them. If he weren't capable, I would have dumped him long ago."
"When you came to the safe zone last time, were you planning to kick him out?"
"Of course, I never expected that Gu Yan was the creator of the safe zone. As Gu Yan's only relative, what kind of man can't I have? He can't even compare to Gu Yan, so I don't want to be with him. Who would have thought that he would come back? Why didn't he die out there?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Tian and the others rushed out. Guan Qi pretended to hit Gu Qingqing, but Qi Sheng held him back, saying, "Calm down."
"How can we calm down? This vicious woman! We've all seen how good our brother has been to him all this way, and she wishes he were dead out there. Is she even human?"
Gu Qingqing suddenly came to her senses and then remembered what she had just said. Looking at Wen Wan, Bai Tian, and the others in front of her, she asked in horror, "What did you do to me?"
"Bai Tian, I was misled just now. Those weren't my true feelings. I love your older brother. How could I say those things? I didn't harm anyone. It was all an accident."
Bai Tian sneered, "You sought refuge by dating someone, and in the end everyone died except you. You pretended to be a superhuman. If we hadn't discovered it sooner, our brothers' lives would have been lost because of you."
"No, I didn't do any of this, Wen Wan. I consider myself on good terms with you, why would you plot against me like this?"
At that moment, Gu Yan arrived.
Gu Qingqing seemed to have seen a savior and rushed to Gu Yan. "Brother, I've been framed. Wen Wan used tricks on me. I'm not that kind of person."
She was crying with tears streaming down her face, but Gu Yan's expression remained unchanged.
The next second, he activated his superpower and headed towards Gu Qingqing. Gu Qingqing instinctively activated her superpower to protect herself when threatened.
Gu Yan withdrew his superpower.
"Brother, are you kidding me? I'm your own sister."
Wen Wan interjected, "They're not blood-related; you share the same parents but not the same father."
Gu Qingqing: "..."
This time she was clearly in despair, and could only hold Gu Yan's hand, "Brother, I know I was wrong, I didn't mean it, I just wanted to live. I'm your only family left, you can't abandon me, brother..."
Gu Yan pulled Gu Qingqing's hand away and walked to Wen Wan's side. Gu Qingqing realized that these people were all in cahoots. "Gu Yan, you schemed against me for her sake? Do you know she's disfigured? She's an ugly monster. You schemed against me for an ugly monster? You'll be punished by heaven."
She finally broke down and revealed her true colors.
Gu Yan's expression turned cold and sullen.
Bai Tian wished he could tear this vicious woman's mouth apart. "Sister Wen Wan, don't waste your breath on her."
"Help me catch her."
"What are you doing?" Gu Qingqing tried to escape, but was caught in the end. There was no mercy shown, and her whole body ached from being gripped so tightly.
"Brother, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I won't do it again next time, please have them let me go, it hurts so much." As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, making her look pitiful. If it were anyone else, they might have been fooled by that face, but the people present, after seeing her true face, would no longer be deceived by that pitiful look.
The more pitiful someone acts, the darker their heart is; this person is simply terrifying.
Wen Wan approached Gu Qingqing, who looked at her in fear. "Don't kill me! If Chen Gong finds out, he won't let you off the hook. You know how much Chen Gong likes me, Bai Tian. If I die, how will you explain it to him?"
Shirata: "You won't die."
Wen Wan: "Don't worry, I won't kill you."
Gu Qingqing: I'm even more scared now.
This woman is very strange. She was controlled and told the truth just now, and she was already on the verge of going crazy.
"Please let me go. I really know I was wrong. I will never do anything wrong again."
Just as Wen Wan was about to make her move, Chen Gong arrived and stopped her.
Wen Yan: "..."
We're doomed.
Bai Tian and the others quickly released Gu Qingqing, saying, "Big brother, please let us explain."
Gu Qingqing quickly hid behind Chen Gong. "Brother Chen, please save me! They're going to kill me! It was all Wen Wan's scheme against me. I really didn't do anything wrong. You have to believe me."
Others: "..."
They were begging for mercy just now, and now they're showing this face.
Could my older brother really be being deceived?
Bai Tian: "Big brother, she's not a good person. She killed a lot of people in the past, and she doesn't like you at all. She just wants your protection. Don't let her blind you."
Chen Gong: "That's enough."
Bai Tian: "..."
"Brother Chen, I'm truly innocent."
Chen Gong pried Gu Qingqing's hand away and sighed, "I can tell whether it's true or false. Besides, Bai Tian and the others are brothers who have gone through thick and thin with me. They wouldn't lie to me."
"Brother Chen?" Gu Qingqing looked panicked. If Chen Gong didn't protect her, what could she do?
Chen Gong looked at Wen Wan and said, "Can you let her go?"
Wen Wan nodded. "Of course you can, but are you sure you want to forgive her?"
"I know she doesn't love me, I know she's been lying to me all along, but I like her. This is the first time I've ever liked a woman, and I never expected it to end like this."
"Big brother, you..."
There are plenty of fish in the sea, why be hung up on just one?
But matters of the heart are truly hard to explain.
Gu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, Chen Gong's words sent chills down her spine.
"I won't kill you, but we'll sever all ties from now on, and that will be the end of everything. You're an ability user, you can protect yourself, and you don't need me. Goodbye."
