Qiao Ruoxi followed the location Lin Jing sent her and finally stopped in front of Gu's Department Store.
When Gu Yan was exposed for participating in the spread of a cult and being one of the serious offenders, all the businesses that Gu Yan had managed in the Gu Group were shut down for rectification.
Gu’s Department Store is one of them.
The high-rise building that was once brightly lit is now pitch black, exuding an atmosphere of depression and bleakness from the inside out.
"Qiao Ruoxi, why did you bring me here?" Pei Junyan was very obedient due to his mother's instructions and had been following Qiao Ruoxi. Now he finally couldn't hold it in anymore and spoke.
Qiao Ruoxi's red lips curled up slightly, and her smile had an inexplicable allure that bewitched people: "Why, are you afraid that I'll sell you out?"
Pei Junyan's cheeks suddenly flushed: "I'm not afraid. You are a woman, you should be the one who is afraid!"
"I just don't understand why my mom insisted that I go with you. When did you two become the same kind of people?"
"Shouldn't you have asked about this before coming with me? Don't you think it's too late to ask now?" Qiao Ruoxi glanced at Pei Junyan.
Pei Junyan was startled and looked around vigilantly, but soon he breathed a sigh of relief.
"My mother is so powerful, and I'm her biological son. She would never harm me. Whether I ask or not, whether you answer or not, it doesn't matter to me."
Qiao Ruoxi shook her head: "You would rather believe your mother than your own judgment. Pei Junyan, your life is really sad!"
As he spoke, Qiao Ruoxi raised his guard and stepped into Gu's Department Store.
Pei Junyan stood there in a daze for a long time before chasing after him, cursing.
"A woman like you who doesn't even want her own mother will naturally not understand my feelings. Qiao Ruoxi, just admit it, you are the poor one. Third Uncle married you just for the Shen family's wealth. There is no way he loves you!"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a muffled sound.
When Qiao Ruoxi heard the sound, she looked back and saw Pei Junyan tripped over the cordon, his knees slamming heavily on the ground, and his forehead also hitting the ground, which was really a big salute to her.
"You'd better kowtow to the person you should kowtow to later." Qiao Ruoxi raised her eyebrows.
Pei Junyan glared at Qiao Ruoxi fiercely, then climbed up in a panic, touching his knees and head.
After passing through a corridor, we finally arrived at the center of the department store, and the arrow on the map disappeared at this moment.
"Bang bang bang bang!" There were several sounds.
The lights in the department store came on one after another.
A huge poster was hung on the central patio. It was the new cosmetics brand "Venus Love" managed by Gu Yan. A cluster of bright red S-shaped flames occupied most of the poster.
There was another "bang" sound, and a spotlight fell on the open space in front of the poster, illuminating a black figure.
"Light is short-lived, darkness is eternal. People in this world are ignorant and do not know the joy of eternal life!" The man stretched out his long arms, facing the symbol of fire, and slowly put his hands together above his head.
Immediately afterwards, the dark crowd behind the man knelt on the ground in unison and kowtowed three times towards the flame symbol.
Then, the man turned around, his dark eyes beneath the metal mask looking at Qiao Ruoxi: "Miss Qiao, do you know why people in this world are so foolish?"
Qiao Ruoxi's gaze lingered on the man for a moment before she spoke calmly, "The laws of nature are intertwined, yin and yang coexist, blessings and disasters are interdependent. Nothing is certain. If we follow the laws of nature, how can we be so foolish?"
The man narrowed his eyes. "Heaven's Way? Heaven's Way disappeared long ago. If Heaven's Way still existed, why is there so much darkness in the world?"
"If people cannot see darkness, how can they know what light is?" Qiao Ruoxi smiled confidently.
The man was obviously a little frustrated because his point of view was refuted but he couldn't find any point to refute it.
"Miss Qiao's eloquence is truly admirable. I never imagined that the ignorant and greedy Qiao couple could have educated you like this."
Qiao Ruoxi's eyes flickered slightly: "Do you know my adoptive parents?"
The man threw his head back and laughed out loud, "I can't say I know you, but I did hold you in my arms. You've grown up to look pretty much like what I imagined you would look like back then. Do you want to know who your biological parents are?"
Qiao Ruoxi didn't respond.
"You may already know that Chen Qin is your biological mother, but you definitely don't know who your biological father is." A hint of cunning flashed in the man's eyes.
Qiao Ruoxi still didn't respond.
The man was a little anxious: "Are you really not curious?"
Qiao Ruoxi raised the corner of her lips: "You can say it if you want."
"You!" Faced with Qiao Ruoxi who did not play by the rules, the man gritted his teeth and felt as if his breath was stuck in his throat. He felt extremely uncomfortable whether he spoke or not.
If I say it, I feel like I'm being tricked, but if I don't say it, I feel suffocated.
He even began to doubt the news brought by Lin Jing. Would Qiao Ruoxi really be willing to join their church?
But none of this matters. Since Qiao Ruoxi has come here, it is impossible for her to escape unscathed, no matter whether she is one of them or not.
"Ayan, come to me." The man took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, looked at Pei Junyan behind Qiao Ruoxi, and his attitude was obviously much gentler.
Pei Junyan shrank back and hid behind Qiao Ruoxi, but his voice was quite loud.
"You guys don't look like good people at first glance. If you let me go, I'll go. Do you think I'm stupid?"
The man's voice suddenly turned cold, but he remained patient: "Ayan, what are you talking about? I am your biological father!"
Pei Junyan put his hands on his hips and shouted, "Nonsense! My biological father is Pei Yaori, the eldest son of the Pei family, and I am Pei Junyan, the eldest young master of the Pei family!"
"You say you are my biological father? I tell you, don't even think about taking advantage of me!"
"The Pei family is shit!" The man clenched his fists in anger, especially with so many believers watching him.
He took several deep breaths before suppressing his anger and not directly grabbing Pei Junyan and beating him up.
"Ayan, listen to me, you are my son, and my blood flows in your body!"
"We have millions of loyal believers in every country around the world. Within three years, the entire world will be under the control of our father and I. In the future, you will be the most supreme ruler in the world!"
The man spoke passionately, but Pei Junyan kept frowning.
After the man finished speaking, he looked at Pei Junyan with burning eyes. He could almost foresee how excited his son would be after hearing what he said, and he might even run to him immediately to recognize his ancestors.
However, none of the scenes he imagined appeared.
Pei Junyan just twitched his eyebrows, tilted his head and asked Qiao Ruoxi: "Why did you bring me to see a lunatic?"
Qiao Ruoxi: ...
man:? ? ?
"If you still don't believe me, then ask her if you are my biological son!" The man was so angry that his face turned black and he pointed his finger at Qiao Ruoxi.
