Chapter 2017: Chapter 483: A Family of Four Finally Reunited (Part 4)
She looked at the elegant lady in the distance with reddened eyes; it was she who had shot her in the leg. Why? Could she have recognized her?
Impossible. Even Lorde hadn’t recognized her. How could she? She hadn’t approached her from start to finish.
If she didn’t recognize her, then nominally, she still was her biological daughter. Why would she shoot at her? Could it be...
Gan Wei’er thought of a possibility, her body swaying, unsure if it was from pain or anger.
Queen’s shot startled everyone. Was her aim off, or did she...
That was her biological daughter, after all. Could she really be willing to do that?
Lorde’s pupils shrank, but it was too late. Seizing Hassan’s stunned moment, he quickly acted, disarmed Hassan, kicked him away, and held Gan Wei’er by the waist. Gan Wei’er leaned into his arms, nearly fainting from the pain.
Yun Ya closed her eyes for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
This is the real Ji Lanyi, isn’t it?
Her own flesh and blood must appear less than the wildflowers and weeds by the roadside to her.
That shot dashed her last bit of hope. She looked out the window at the sky; today’s weather was gloomy, with sunlight but not bright.
Gan Wei’er’s fingers clutched Lorde’s arm tightly, biting her lips from the pain. Lorde said solemnly: "Call an ambulance."
Beside him lay the unconscious Xi Lin, having fainted from excessive blood loss.
Anna held Xi Lin, watching Lorde embrace that woman, not even sparing Xi Lin a glance. In his eyes and heart, there was only that woman. She couldn’t help but feel it was unfair to Xi Lin, who was willing to sacrifice her life for this man, yet he showed no gratitude.
Hasan might have been arranged by Xi Lin and Lemp together, aiming to kill the princess. However, Xi Lin and Lemp... might have had their own motives. But she couldn’t be sure if Xi Lin taking the bullet for Lorde was planned or an unexpected mishap.
Ji Lanyi walked over with graceful steps, smiled slightly, and slowly raised her hand, aiming the gun at Sangque.
Sangque’s eyes darkened slightly, and he said coldly: "What do you mean?"
Her action shocked everyone again, their gazes shifting back and forth between Ji Lanyi and Sangque.
Ji Lanyi held the gun with a smile, shifting from Sangque to Leros and others. Each person aimed at wore a solemn expression; no one can truly smile with a gun pointed at their head.
Yun Ya lowered his gaze, fists clenched tightly.
Ji Lanyi, your ambition can no longer be concealed, finally revealing your true colors.
"Fifty years ago, Mr. Erlang once conquered several major countries in Europe, creating a new world map. He is my idol and my teacher." As Ji Lanyi’s gentle voice fell, the scene erupted.
The name Erlang was not unfamiliar; even now it remained a taboo. That beastly terrifying man attempted to conquer the world with ambition. Though he ultimately failed, the adverse impact he caused nearly half a century ago still evokes terror.
Merely a name causes a wave of tension.
This woman intends to emulate Erlang? It’s laughable; times have changed. The world’s pattern is set, not something she can change with mere words. But isn’t Erlang long dead? How could he become her mentor?
If Erlang were alive, he would be around eighty or ninety now. But didn’t he die of a virus infection back then? Otherwise, Erlang wouldn’t have failed... it’s fate.
Had Erlang not died, who knows where the world’s dynamics would be now...
"Erlang didn’t die?" Leros said incredulously.
"Of course he didn’t die. He is a god, the ruler of all gods. How could he possibly die?" The woman said with a gentle smile, sending chills down one’s spine.
Hassan just tried to get up amidst the confusion, but suddenly a bullet shot through his brow. He widened his eyes in disbelief and fell heavily to the ground.
The woman didn’t even glance at him, smiling as she aimed the gun back at Sangque.
The previous shot seemed to hit everyone in the chest, rendering them speechless, their gazes toward the woman filled with deep fear.
"So you truly are Erlang’s person; I understand everything now. But you’re too naive. Erlang failed fifty years ago, and fifty years later, you can’t possibly succeed. If you lay down your weapon now, there’s still a chance for survival; otherwise..."
