Chapter 392: Life for Life
Xiao Yuehan: "It seems that if anyone dares to stand in your way, no matter who it is, even if it's your son, you will get rid of him without blinking an eye. Then why do you still want to keep me by your side? After all, I betrayed you, and the hatred I hold in your heart is no less than that of your son, right?"
Nangong Lan: "goodquestion, the only reason I still keep you by my side is because I'm attracted by your ruthlessness. It makes me feel that you will definitely be more promising than my son, so you can't be soft on him. Don't let me down! Okay, go back to your room!"
Xiao Yuehan: "I don't really want to..."
Nangong Lan shouted in a commanding tone: "No, you want to go back to your room."
Xiao Yuehan had no choice but to lock himself in the room with a "bang".
Nangong Lan came to the door and opened it.
"If you have anything to say, just say it! I really don't have much time to entertain you."
"Don't be so arrogant. Maybe after you know my identity, you won't say that."
Lu Zhenzhen threw the Star of Heaven into Nangong Lan's hands.
"You've been dominating the Heavenly Star for so long, haven't you noticed that I've actually been inside it the whole time? Now that I've regained my freedom, I won't suppress the Heavenly Heart's power anymore. It's now back to 90% of its normal strength, but something went wrong along the way, and it hasn't been completely purified yet. Why don't you just use it for now? Then go save your poor son! I promise I'll be able to help you restore the Heavenly Heart to its full strength in the future."
Nangong Lan: "Oh, it's Princess Xuanxuan! I'm so sorry, but regarding my son..."
He threw Tian Zhi Xin back with one hand, acting as if he didn't care at all. This sudden action made Lu Zhen Zhen a little at a loss, and she almost didn't catch Tian Zhi Xin by accident.
Nangong Lan continued coldly, "There's no room for negotiation. A contract is a contract. Situ and I must do what we agreed to do. If he fails, the contract will become invalid, and Nangong Yu will die. This is God's will. It's not that I, as a father, am heartless. In fact, I have no choice."
"You are indeed as cold-blooded and ruthless as they say. However, I can understand that the imperial family is the most ruthless. So let's cancel the contract between you and Situ! How about I make a new one with you?"
"I'm sorry, but generally speaking I don't like talking about life with women."
"Then let me tell you directly! You should still remember Murong Shaowen, right?"
"Remember! Our last clan leader! Why are you suddenly concerned about missing persons?"
"Then you should also know about High Priest Xin Yu, right?"
"Yes, I still have a deep impression of him! He was the first high priest I arranged for, and in your eyes, he cheated on me for many years!"
"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to humiliate you by bringing up your sad story."
"I know. Actually, there's nothing wrong with this. My marriage to Duanmu Xueying was a political one, and we didn't have any feelings for each other. We've always lived in an open marriage, each doing our own thing and getting along peacefully. The reason I want revenge on her is because she saw me enjoying being the emperor, but she didn't consider her own worth and actually dared to attack me. I can't bear it if I don't kill her and make her feel the excruciating pain."
"I suspect Murong Shaowen and Xin Yu may actually be the same person, and I think his true identity is indeed very suspicious."
Nangong Lan tilted his head and looked at her, his expression as if he had heard some outlandish news.
"Don't forget, of course Murong Shaowen also spoke for you! How can you be so ungrateful! Don't say you have no evidence, even if you do, has he done anything heinous? Otherwise, who he is and what his identity is is none of my business."
"It really seems like it's none of our business, but what if he has some ulterior motive? Don't you think my parents' deaths are too bizarre?"
"Strange! Now that you put it that way, it does seem a little strange to me! When Duanmu Yanbin and I rushed into the wedding scene, before we could even figure out what was going on, your fiancé committed suicide in public. So, I'm still completely baffled."
"What do you mean you found Xu Chengao dead when you rushed in? Then you didn't even see how he killed the people at the wedding, so it's even more impossible for you to hear him confess."
"Of course."
After hearing this, Lu Zhenzhen felt very remorseful. She hated herself for causing such a disaster because of her impulsiveness. When she saw the tragic deaths of her parents and lover, and believed the casual words and incitements of people around her, she completely lost the desire to live, and wanted to go with them without even checking carefully.
She was so angry that her facial features were distorted and her hands were clenched into fists.
"Why are you so angry that you regret it?"
Faced with Nangong Lan's seemingly provocative tone, she quickly calmed down.
She smiled and said, "Hearsay taught me a painful lesson, but it doesn't matter. It's all in the past. As a person, the most important thing is to learn from the lesson and look to the future, isn't it?"
Nangong Lan clapped his hands and said with a smile, "You're absolutely right. If my son had been half as perceptive as you are, our father-son relationship wouldn't have degenerated to such a bad state, and he wouldn't have ended up like this."
"How about this! You go save your son first, and I'll help you find the truth. How about that? You've only just been restored to power, and you have a lot to do. Let me remove this thorn in your side, so you don't have to worry about it all the time."
"Very good, then it's settled."
Nangong Lan took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and threw it to Lu Zhenzhen.
"Here, give this to that idiot and he'll be fine. But..."
Before he could finish his words, Nangong Lan slapped Lu Zhenzhen on the chest with lightning speed, and Lu Zhenzhen vomited blood.
"I'll give you another three months, and then bring me the complete Heart of Heaven. Otherwise, one of you and that Nangong Yu is destined to die."
Lu Zhenzhen wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, picked up the Heart of Heaven, and stumbled out the door.
As soon as Situ saw Lu Zhenzhen running out and spitting blood, he, who had been waiting for her in the car, hurriedly got out and ran over to support her.
Seeing her in pain, Situ cursed: "How unreasonable! Even hitting a woman is too much."
He was about to knock on the door to argue with Nangong Lan, but Lu Zhenzhen stopped him, handed the antidote to him and said, "This is the antidote to save your boss. Everything has a price, right?"
Situ was speechless and could only helplessly reply: "So what are you going to do now?"
"There's nothing we can do. Let's just take it one step at a time! In fact, I already had a plan in mind when I came here. Now let's go back to the Golf Villa Resort first."
