Chapter 121 I Didn’t Mean It
Ning Yan looked at the gun in her hand, suddenly smiled, and asked her: "Beibei, do you dare to shoot at me?"
Without waiting for Beibei to speak, he continued, "Even if you dare, I guarantee that even if you use up all the bullets in your gun, you won't be able to hit me."
After saying that, he ignored the gun still pointed at him, picked up the phone that fell on the ground, turned around and opened the door.
At this moment, Beibei ran over, hugged his legs tightly, cried and shouted at him not to leave, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground.
Ning Yan was right. Beibei really didn't dare to shoot him, nor would she shoot at him or her.
"Beibei, if Moros didn't lie to me, then I can tell you responsibly. Yu Chengbai, your father, treats you well because I once had a relationship with him..."
After a pause, realizing the word 'had' wasn't quite right, he changed his words and said, "Many years ago, he and I found a child on the battlefield. He named her Beibei, but she didn't survive and died in the jungle."
"I've lost my memory and don't know what Moros and I were planning. But if you were part of the plan, then you were just a pawn to make Yu Chengbai feel guilty."
Ning Yan almost stopped treating Bei Bei as a 6-year-old child. He treated her like a killer who had failed in his mission and calmly stabbed her in the heart: "Your father doesn't love you as much as you think."
After a pause of one second, Ning Yan lowered his eyes and said softly, "Me too."
“…”
Beibei's crying gradually became louder.
But he still didn't let go of Ning Yan's hand, instead he held it even tighter.
"If you are willing to come with me, I will hide you from the Tan family and will not hand you over to Moros."
Ning Yan looked back at her and said softly, "Of course, you can stay if you want. Yu Chengbai will treat you very well. Even if he remarries in the future, he will never let anyone bully you. You will never need to return to the Tan family or M Continent again. You can live the life of a normal child."
"But I want Mom and Dad."
Beibei interrupted him crying, pressing her face tightly against his calf, crying breathlessly: "I just want it to be like before, Mom, why do you have to leave Dad? Can't we be together?"
Ning Yan sighed softly and told him almost everything: "Your father, mother, brother, and sister, you should have heard from the servants that they were not mentally well before and were admitted to a mental hospital for half a year. Do you know why they were admitted to the mental hospital?"
Hearing the last sentence, Beibei's eyes widened in shock.
"Yes, I did. A year ago I locked them in the basement and tortured them for several weeks."
“…”
"If your father finds out one day, do you think I can still live with him?"
“…”
"So I have to go, but I won't leave the capital. You can still see me in the future."
"But next time we meet, I can't call you mom anymore, right?" Beibei looked up at him, tears streaming from her red eyes. She looked so pitiful and heartbreaking.
Ning Yan turned his face away, said nothing, and agreed.
Beibei hugged his legs and was quiet for a while. Seeing that he was about to pry her hands apart, she quickly said, "Okay! I can let you go, and I can also not tell Dad, but can you stay with me until the end of my birthday before leaving?"
Birthday?
Ning Yan never celebrated his birthday and couldn't understand the significance and ritual of this day, so he refused bluntly: "No, I must -"
Bang!
A gunshot rang out.
They both turned their heads to look outside, and suddenly, their cell phones rang.
Ning Yan answered the phone, opened the door and looked towards the place where the gunshots were heard. Lan Ze's panting voice came from the phone: "Brother Ning, there's a killer who has sneaked into the Yu family."
"Are you chasing them?"
"They're chasing me."
“…”
Lan Ze came to the banquet disguised as Ning Yan today. Ning Yan immediately frowned, picked up Bei Bei's gun and ran out: "Where are you? Tell me your location!"
"Mom! Mom, wait for me, I want to go too!" Beibei quickly got up and chased after him.
Bang!
Another gunshot rang out, and Ning Yan, holding up her skirt, quickened her pace as she headed downstairs to the banquet hall. A servant, chatting and laughing on the way, was nearly blown away by the wind he created. After stabilizing herself, she turned to look at the corner where the figure disappeared, and immediately, with wide eyes, asked the person next to her, "Was that the one who just flew by, my wife?"
"It seems like, that skin color, that's the wife, right?"
"Madam, run—Ah!"
Another figure quickly rushed past between the two of them, and the little girl's voice was surprisingly loud: "Mom, wait for me! Wait for me!"
The two maids' eyes almost popped out of their sockets. They looked at each other and said in unison, "That was Miss Beibei who just ran over, right?"
On this side, Ning Yan finally found the seriously injured Lan Ze with the help of Lan Ze on the phone.
He had been living in Ning Yan's villa in the capital during this period, and the clothes he wore were taken from Ning Yan's cloakroom, a snow-white low-necked silk shirt.
The bright red blood bloomed on it, like a few enchanting flowers that suddenly blossomed.
Ning Yan looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
Lan Ze was taught close combat by him and Moros himself. His strength is enough to crush most of the killers in the dark web. The most serious injury he suffered in these years was when Corey kicked him and broke his ribs.
And now, he had lost so much blood that Ning Yan could hardly tell how many places he had been stabbed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After three shots, only one killer was hit in the calf. The other three killers reacted very quickly and turned around almost at the same time Ning Yan shot.
Then he decisively raised his gun and fired back, and while Ning Yan dodged the bullet sideways, he quickly escaped.
Their target seems to be only Lan Ze, or rather Lan Ze disguised as Ning Yan.
Ning Yan took a few steps forward and stepped on the neck of the killer who was hit in the calf and was about to escape.
With a snap, his neck shattered. He squatted in front of Lan Ze and immediately reached out to touch him: "Where are you hurt?"
"My arm, the artery was cut. They are very skilled—Brother Ning! Brother Ning, where are you going? Brother Ning!"
Lan Ze reached out to grab him, but missed.
Ning Yan randomly pulled a maid over from the aisle and told her to take good care of the injured Lan Ze and contact a doctor. Then he took the gun and bullets from the killer whose cervical vertebrae were crushed.
Then he left with a gloomy face.
The maid almost fainted when she saw the blood all over the floor, but she still forced herself to help Lan Ze, who was covered in blood. Her voice trembled: "Sir, let me help you first - Sir?"
Lan Ze pushed away the maid who came to help him, stood up while pressing the wound on his arm, and ran in the direction where Ning Yan disappeared.
The maid was stunned for a moment before she remembered to chase him: "Sir! You are bleeding a lot, sir! Let me stop the bleeding for you first, sir!"
When Ning Yan reached the stairs to the second floor, he slowly stopped. The servant of the Yu family came up and saw him. He was about to greet him with a smile, but when he saw the gun in his hand, his face turned pale instantly. He stood there motionless, completely frozen.
Ning Yan passed by her without even looking at her, and reached out to push her into the corner: "Hide well, no matter what you hear later, don't come out."
"Madam..." The servant wanted to ask what was going on, but Ning Yan had already gone down the stairs.
The banquet hall covers an area of several hundred square meters, with a tall spiral staircase extending downwards. The crystal chandeliers beside it are shining brightly, reflecting the celebrities from all walks of life toasting each other. Ning Yan, holding up her green long skirt, slowly walked down the stairs, and her cold gaze slowly swept across everyone's faces.
His sudden appearance was eye-catching enough that the banquet hall, which was not noisy at all, immediately became quiet.
Everyone looked up, hundreds of eyes focused on him, watching him come down the stairs.
Some were curious, some were surprised, and some frowned.
There is more confusion and puzzlement.
"She is Cheng Bai's wife?"
"Young Master Yu's wife looks quite... special?"
"He seems okay in appearance, but I heard he's quite timid. He was almost scared to tears at the police station that day."
"With such a dark complexion, he must be from the underground city of Continent M. No wonder Master Yu hasn't brought him out in such a long time."
"Is he looking for Master Yu?"
There are so many voices around me, but I prefer to turn a deaf ear to them.
Ignoring the stares from those around him, he walked through the crowd one by one. He frowned slightly and his eyes quickly scanned each face.
No one knows what he wants to do.
Mr. Yu looked bewildered, thinking he was looking for Yu Chengbai, and was about to turn around and ask the servant to go find him.
Suddenly, Ning Yan stopped moving and stopped beside a young man in a black suit.
"The change of clothes is very fast, but unfortunately, I am an expert in this area."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light flashed in the young man's eyes.
A military dagger slipped out from his sleeve and was held in the young man's hand. He stabbed Ning Yan amid the exclamations of the crowd.
Ning Yan dodged sideways, grabbed his wrist and turned it in the opposite direction. The young man screamed and the dagger fell from his hand. Ning Yan kicked it up with his foot and caught it with his left hand.
He turned around and stabbed the man in the heart with a steady knife from behind.
Phew.
Blood splattered all over his face.
Ning Yan didn't even blink, he lowered his eyes and watched the young man fall heavily to the ground.
There was deathly silence all around.
The servant closest to the door opened his eyes wide, suddenly turned around and ran out. Ning Yan didn't even turn his head back, he raised his hand and shot him.
Bang!
The 'servant' fell to the ground after being hit on the back of the head.
“…”
"Aa ...
I don't know who started shouting first, but the whole banquet hall began to fall into chaos.
When Yu Chengbai came in, he saw his wife, who always appeared weak, pulling out the dagger from the corpse as if no one was around. Her movements were as brisk as a butterfly flapping its wings, leisurely and somewhat casual.
The dagger cut through the air with great inertia, breaking the throat of a man who was fleeing towards the door. After drawing a perfect arc, it firmly stabbed into the opposite wall.
As if sensing something, Ning Yan turned around.
He blinked, and with blood on his face, he met Yu Chengbai's gaze with an innocent and pure look. Yu Chengbai's eyes were slightly wide open.
He said, "I didn't mean to do that."
Yu Chengbai: "..."
