"Isn't it your duty to get it done? Why are you asking me for a reward?"
"Who do you think I did this for? Wait, you went to the scene?"
Fu Xiaocai suddenly realized that since she saw people from Mingxiaotang, she must have been there too.
"Fu Xiao, what you're saying isn't nonsense. People from my Shenxing Alliance are all going, how could I not go?"
Is she the kind of person who is afraid of death?
Obviously not, so what's wrong with her going to the scene?
"You arrogant woman!" A furious shout came from the other end of the line. "Fu Xu, prepare the car."
Looking at the phone that had already been hung up, Xu Nuo muttered, "What's going on? This is ridiculous."
"Xu Nuo, has anyone ever told you that you're a bit slow?" Ji Fuying shook her head and sighed, gripping the steering wheel.
Even the God of Marriage would sigh at such a person; even if the red thread were tied into a knot for her, she might still remain single for life.
"Boss, I'm missing a lot of tendons, which one are you talking about?"
Have you ever been in love with someone? In a romantic way?
"I used to like him." Xu Nuo lowered her eyes and suddenly fell silent.
"Was that the person from earlier, named Fu Xiao?"
"Well, it's just a simple liking, not to the point where I absolutely have to have it, so let's wait and see."
"I thought you were a bit slow-witted, but I didn't expect you to be so clear-headed. That's rare."
"That's right, I'm much more clear-headed than you."
Speaking of this, Xu Nuo instantly gained confidence. She might not be as good as her boss in other aspects, but she was more open-minded about love and relationships.
Back then, the eldest brother suffered terribly for Ji Yan, for three whole years, like a soulless person.
It wasn't until after Bu Yi was born that her eyes slowly began to shine again.
If it were me, let alone suffering for three years, I'd probably find someone new in two days.
Just as Ji Fuying was about to ask about her past, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a car getting closer and closer to them from the corner of her eye.
"Xu Nuo, watch out for the cars behind you," Ji Fuying instructed, and immediately stepped on the gas.
The car behind them followed steadily at a distance of fifty meters.
After circling around a few times, Ji Fuying was certain that it was no coincidence; the other party was specifically targeting them.
"Shoot, don't hold back." She lowered the car window halfway to make it easier for Xu Nuo to shoot.
Xu Nuo had barely fired one shot when the enemy opened fire with full force, and within three seconds, all the windows in the trunk were shattered.
"Boss, the enemy's marksmanship is very accurate, but it seems they don't want to kill us; they want to capture us alive."
"Ji Lan is cunning. If she catches me, she can easily control Ji Yan and her elder brother. Unfortunately, she underestimated me."
"Boss, what should we do? The enemy's marksmanship is so accurate, I'm afraid I'll be riddled with bullets if I stick my head out."
"You drive."
Ji Fuying floored the accelerator, switching positions with Xu Nuo while controlling the steering wheel.
Then he selected a finely crafted handgun and used the rearview mirror to observe the distance and position of the other party.
"Right now, shift thirty centimeters to the right."
Xu Nuo turned the steering wheel to the right, and Ji Fuying aimed at the other party's driver's seat and fired a shot.
Blood splattered on the glass, and the vehicles behind also lost control and crashed into the trees on the side of the road.
Ji Fuying was worried about Ji Yan's situation, so she didn't get out of the car to check whether the people inside were dead or not.
With another press of the accelerator, the black van quickly disappeared from the spot.
When they arrived at the abandoned factory, the entire factory was filled with gunfire and smoke.
Ji Fuying and Xu Nuo went upstairs from a secluded spot and found a high vantage point with a wide view.
In the open space downstairs, Ji Yan stood at the very front, his eyes, which flashed with a dangerous aura, staring directly at the other person.
"Ji Lan, I just want to ask you one question: after doing so many cruel things, have you ever regretted it?"
This was the first time he had seen Ji Lan since he grew up, and he felt no affection whatsoever for this blood-related aunt.
Perhaps this is destiny, which is why they are so unfamiliar with each other despite being related by blood.
Ji Lan looked coldly at Ji Yan's fierce face, "If I had known this day would come, I should have killed you when you were still a child."
"Have you really lost all basic humanity? Just because the Ji family doesn't approve of you marrying Lu Qing, you're going to target your own family like this?"
"Lu Qing?" Jiang Longtian turned to look at the person beside him with a puzzled expression. "You want to marry Lu Qing?"
Faced with his questioning, Ji Lan remained relatively calm, saying, "It was just ignorance when I was young, nothing to say."
"If there's nothing to say, why are you targeting my family again and again, Ji Lan? Tell me why?"
Lu Qing slowly walked in from the doorway, with Ji Ming, who looked disappointed, beside him.
He heard everything Ji Lan said earlier; she said she should have killed Ji Yan sooner.
She's Ji Yan's own aunt, how could she say such a thing?
"You..." Ji Lan turned around in disbelief, looking at Lu Qing, "Why are you here?"
"I've come to you for an answer. Why did you do this to my family? Tell me."
Lu Qing pressed him relentlessly, and his aggressive questioning nearly drove Ji Lan to the brink of losing control.
"You ask me why? If you hadn't betrayed our relationship, how could I have become like this? How dare you question me?"
"I have never had any feelings for you. I will always love only Chang Huan."
“No, we grew up together. Everyone said we would be together. I had long accepted the identity of Mrs. Lu. It was you who made me lose face and left me with nowhere to go in Z country. It’s all your fault.”
Lu Qing and Ji Lan were locked in a standoff, exchanging words, while Jiang Longtian, standing to the side, was already heartbroken.
It turns out that her relentless efforts to deal with the Lu family were not, as she claimed, simply to possess everything belonging to the Lu family.
She harbored resentment because she loved Lu Qing but could not have him, and he was merely a pawn in her scheme to deal with the Lu family.
Is that really the case?
Despite over twenty years of relationship and having a son and a daughter, it all came down to Lu Qing's place in her heart.
Lu Qing's appearance threw Ji Lan off balance, so she didn't realize that Jiang Longtian's expression had changed.
"Alan, you've always had Lu Qing in your heart, that's why you keep targeting his family, isn't it?" Jiang Longtian asked disappointedly.
Ji Lan belatedly turned around, the madness on her face not yet completely gone.
"That's not it, Long Tian, listen to me, I just..."
"Just tell me what it is, and I'll believe you."
"..."
But Ji Lan couldn't bring herself to say it, after all, it was a fact that she had dealt with Lu Qing's family, and that couldn't be denied.
"So you only approached me because you wanted to get back at Lu Qing, using me as a pawn in your revenge against him, right?"
