Caught off guard, Wan Qianqian felt as though she had been struck by lightning as she stood rooted to the ground in a daze. Tan Feng … Gu Tanfeng! At that moment, Wan Qianqian could see the mist shrouding his exquisite face gradually dissipate. Indeed, it was Gu Tanfeng's face when he was young.
Wan Qianqian, who still had a little hope in her heart, could hear the sound of her heart breaking, as well as the sound of her hope shattering. That was not the most despairing thing.
Instead, in the next second, she clearly heard Gu Tanfeng's disdainful and merciless voice saying, "Kill them and end it all."
The emotionless response pierced through Wan Qianqian's eardrums and went straight to the bottom of her heart. That sentence seemed to be played on repeat as it circled in her mind over and over again. It was like a sharp blade mercilessly stabbing into her heart, causing her to suffocate.
Following that, Wan Qianqian saw the two people in front of her gradually distort and disappear in a short while. Her world was plunged into darkness and despair. Her feet were already on the edge of a cliff, and if there was one more straw to press on her, she might really collapse completely.
"Baby, don't cry …" A hoarse but somewhat tender voice rang out in the dark secret room. That voice was exceptionally familiar, and it gave Wan Qianqian a sense of security and a feeling that she could rely on it.
The little girl who was curled up in the corner slowly raised her eyes to look at the disheveled figure kneeling on the ground not far away. Stubble covered almost his entire face, and she could not see his face clearly in the darkness. She could only determine the direction based on his voice, but there was a sense of urgency in her heart to see him.
In the next second, the little girl who was curled up in the corner whimpered pitifully, "Daddy, I'm scared. Where are you …"
"Baby, don't be afraid. Daddy is here and will always protect you." His voice was still hoarse, but it was filled with endless love. When Wan Qianqian heard his coaxing tone, she felt a sense of warmth and security.
The voice that made her feel terrified rang out leisurely at this moment, and the tone contained endless ridicule. "What a deep father-daughter relationship. Tan Feng, how do you think my uncle should be dealt with?"
"Kill!" Gu Tanfeng didn't even have the ability to think. He responded coldly, as if a life was nothing more than an ant in his eyes.
When this answer fell into Wan Qianqian's ears, her entire body shook violently, and she cried out in alarm almost at the same time as the little girl curled up in the corner, "No!"
"Bang!" In response to her was the deafening sound of a gunshot, which seemed to blow away all her hopes at this moment. The moment the gunshot rang out, it was also the last straw that crushed Wan Qianqian's heart.
"No — —" She didn't know when light had appeared in the secret room, but she could clearly see the obvious gunshot hole in the chest of the man with the imposing voice. Blood kept flowing out of the wound like crazy. A doting smile still hung on his handsome face as his eyes, which were as gentle as water, stared fixedly at her.
Those doting and loving eyes were deeply imprinted in Wan Qianqian's mind, and then she only felt her surroundings darken. When she opened her eyes again, she was still in the dressing room, but the wedding dress she was wearing had long been soaked in cold sweat, and even her makeup looked a little blurry.
The priest beside her was long gone, and Wan Qianqian stood there in a daze. The scenes from just now flashed through her mind one after another. She reached out and touched her cheeks, which were wet, but she didn't know if it was sweat or tears.
Wan Qianqian stared blankly at herself in the mirror. Her pair of moist, red, and swollen eyes were dripping with tears, like a broken faucet. The liquid kept dripping, and she couldn't turn it off.
"Daddy …" The last scene was deeply imprinted in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the faster the tears that were welling up in her eyes flowed.
"Pa — —" The door to the dressing room was opened, and both sides of Wen Yuen's cheeks were a little rosy, as if she had drunk a lot of wine. At this moment, a silly smile bloomed on her face, and she was holding a glass of red wine in her hand. "Bride, are you ready? You're ready to go out. "
Marriage? Bride? Gu Tanfeng! Those sweet words in the past seemed particularly ironic at this moment. Her daddy! If it wasn't for him, perhaps her daddy wouldn't have died.
Wan Qianqian's hands, which were hanging by her side, clenched tightly. The pain of her nails digging deep into her flesh lessened the hatred in her heart. Forcefully suppressing her emotions that were on the verge of breaking down, Wan Qianqian suddenly stood up from the chair, lifted the long skirt of her wedding dress, and ran straight past Wen Yuen.
The slightly tipsy Wen Yuen smiled foolishly again, and she said to Wan Qianqian's hurried figure, "Qianqian, don't be so hasty. Be more ladylike and dignified, don't look like …"
Wen Yuen, who was trying to persuade her, stopped abruptly because she felt that something was wrong! Her slightly tipsy eyes suddenly became clear at this moment, and panic began to appear on her delicate face. She quickly put the wine glass in her hand aside, and chased after Wan Qianqian's back. "Qianqian, where are you going!"
As she chased, Wen Yuen lost sight of Wan Qianqian, and she found herself in the most lively place in the middle of the wedding venue. Many influential people in S City had already taken their seats at this moment. Her shout attracted the attention of many guests, and the smart people quickly realized that something was wrong.
The first to react was Lin Chenxi. He calmly walked to Wen Yuen's side, and his face still had a touch of gentleness. He lowered his voice and asked, "What happened?"
"Qianqian just ran away in a hurry." Wen Yuen was also helpless. Her face was almost buried on the ground, and she knew in her heart what stupid thing she had done just now.
The invited guests began to discuss in detail. Some people were indifferent, some were a little worried, and some had the mentality of watching a show. Everyone's eyes fell on the man who had just come out of the dressing room not far away. They saw that his expression was gloomy, and there was a murderous aura around him.
Wen Yuen, who was hiding beside Lin Chenxi, shrank her neck slightly, and endless fear crawled up from the bottom of her heart. She carefully grabbed Lin Chenxi's sleeves with both hands, and her foxy eyes were full of flickering.
"Qianqian, where did you go!" Gu Tanfeng's footsteps did not stop at all, and he came in front of Wen Yuen. He also did not care about the various kinds of gazes around him, and all his attention was focused on the person who had gone somewhere.
Wen Yuen, who was questioned, trembled again because of his tone. She did not even have the courage to raise her head to meet his sharp eyes. She only said gloomily, "I also don't know. When I went to look for her, she suddenly ran away as if she had gone crazy."
As soon as the words came out, the surrounding air seemed to be controlled by a kind of cold air, and the people who were closer to Gu Tanfeng could not help but shiver. Those people always intentionally or unintentionally kept a distance from Gu Tanfeng, and did not dare to be too close to this punching bag, afraid that they would be implicated.
"Check it for me immediately! Who did she meet with! " After a long while, Gu Tanfeng finally spoke to He Zeng coldly and resentfully. His tone was so sinister that it was as if he wanted to devour someone.
"Yes." Knowing that Gu Tanfeng was angry at the moment, He Zeng replied quickly, and then went to check the surveillance footage, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.
Not far away, Ling Feng and Ling Yuxuan both pursed their lips at the same time, and both of them held a tall glass in their hands. They clinked their glasses as if they were celebrating, and their good mood seemed to appear on their faces.
The two of them were in a corner of the wedding venue, so not many people would notice them. Ling Yuxuan raised the red wine in his hand, and after taking a sip, he looked at Ling Feng strangely, and said a little puzzled, "Dad, why did you suddenly change your mind and let Wan Qianqian know that you are not her father, and you even let Jason weave a picture of Gu Tanfeng indirectly killing Uncle."
"This effect is even stronger. I am not very familiar with Wan Qianqian, but I am very familiar with your grandfather and your uncle, and they both value family very much." Ling Feng's hand that was holding the tall glass shook slightly, and the dark red liquid kept shaking in the glass, emitting a delicate fragrance.
Ling Yuxuan nodded slightly, and a trace of admiration flashed across his brown eyes. The admiration that squeezed out from the bottom of his heart made him unable to help but raise his glass to his father again, "Dad, what a good plan."
Wan Qianqian, who had been running on the road, did not know where to go, and she had already abandoned her pointed stilettos halfway. She could feel the burning pain from the soles of her feet, as if the soles of her feet were burning, and her running speed gradually slowed down.
She stood on the road, looking at the familiar yet strange scenery around her, and the skirt of her wedding dress had long been dirty and tattered. To save trouble, Wan Qianqian even deliberately tore off the fabric of the wedding dress, so that it would be easier to walk. Along the way, there were more and more strange looks that fell on her, and there were all kinds of them.
The soles of her bare feet touched the burning ground, and Wan Qianqian did not know how long she had been walking, and she did not know how far she had walked. Anyway, the soles of her feet seemed to be rubbed to the point of forming blisters. She sat on the side of the road in a daze, and her eyes stared blankly at the constantly passing cars in front of her.
"Beep —" A sharp car horn sounded next to her, and it attracted Wan Qianqian's attention. She frowned and looked up at the sports car.
She saw the car window slowly roll down, and a handsome face flashed with a trace of surprise, and then his brows slightly furrowed. "What are you doing here?"
