Chapter Seventeen The Truth

"Hey! Hey! Listen, I am Adele's fiancé, you can't do this to me!"

Zhou Ming pretended to be brave and said forcefully.

Ralph didn't speak, but slowly brought the muzzle of the gun closer to Zhou Ming. The silencer on the muzzle was almost touching Zhou Ming's head, and his finger was on the trigger, tightening it little by little.

To be honest, this kind of action that may lift your Tianling Cap at the next moment is indeed very oppressive, especially when Ralph deliberately uses slow motion to extend the time, which has a very significant effect of psychological torture on people.

An ordinary person might really be frightened and run away.

So does Zhou Ming.

He raised his hand tremblingly, with a frightened expression, and stretched his other hand towards the car door, making a move to open the door and get out of the car.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I'm leaving now, don't shoot."

His hand touched the car door, but stopped there. Looking at Ralph who was not moved at all, Zhou Ming suddenly smiled, and the previous frightened look disappeared.

"Okay, it seems you already know my identity."

"Mr. Zhang, as an excellent bodyguard, I thought that when you disguise your identity, you should at least change your appearance and change your name."

Ralph remained unmoved and spoke in a steady voice.

"Are you too contemptuous of us, thinking that we don't even understand this bit of information? Or are you too confident in yourself, feeling that there is no need to pretend, and using such poor excuses and acting skills to trick us?"

"Haha." Zhou Ming grinned and suddenly took action, tilting his head to the side and lifting his knees, hitting Ralph's hand holding the gun.

Puff puff!

The bullets rushed out from the muzzle of the silencer-mounted gun, making several dull low noises. One bullet penetrated the back of the car seat, another bullet penetrated the rear glass, and another bullet embedded itself in the roof of the car.

The next moment, the gun fell into Zhou Ming's hand, spinning in the air and pointing at Ralph's head.

"What do you think?" Zhou Ming asked with a chuckle.

"Impossible." Ralph couldn't believe it, "A bodyguard of your price range has such skills?"

"Have you ever heard of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?" Zhou Ming said lightly: "Can you drive now?"

Ralph stared at Zhou Ming unwillingly. Under the threat of bullets, he had no choice but to give in and said unhappily: "Drive!"

The car started again and soon left the alley and returned to the main road.

"Disguise yourself as a pig and devour the tiger? Is this also the saying in your hometown?" Adele asked quietly.

"Children have so many problems." Zhou Ming replied casually.

"How am I so small? You obviously look smaller than me!" Adele angrily held her chest up and held her head high to show off her wealth.

Zhou Ming was unmoved, his eyes fixed on Ralph, and he said: "Turn back."

Ralph obeyed obediently. After turning around, his posture was no longer so awkward, but he could no longer directly see the gun pointed at him.

This only put more pressure on him. He didn't know if Zhou Ming had been pointing a gun at him, he didn't know what the other person was thinking, and he didn't know if the gun would go off next moment.

The feeling of being pointed at the forehead is completely different from being pointed at the back of the head.

The three cars did not go in the direction of her home as Adele said, but kept on the same route and headed to a place that Adele didn't even know.

Adrian was indeed waiting for Adele at that place, and Ralph was not lying about this.

However, this also made Adele's face paler, and the last illusion in her heart was shattered: the leader behind everything was indeed Adrian, her biological father, who really wanted to kill her.

Time passed quietly in such a depressing atmosphere until we drove into a villa.

"This is it." Zhou Ming looked at the scenery outside with great interest.

"Do you know this place?" Adele was a little surprised. How could Zhou Ming know about a place she didn't even know?

Suddenly, she thought of a possibility, and a bit of shock appeared on her face: "Could this be the place back then..."

"That's right, it was the former home of the Blanches family where a massacre occurred 27 years ago."

The smile on Zhou Ming's face was quite meaningful.

"It seems that your father is a very nostalgic person. Wouldn't he come here every now and then to see things and miss people, and miss the happy times he and his father were together?"

"shut up!"

"Shut up!"

Two shouts came in succession, one from Adele and one from Ralph.

Looking at Ralph with an angry look on his face, Zhou Ming smiled contemptuously: "I can't tell that you are quite protective of the master. Why did you let me scare you with a gun and send me here obediently?"

"Damn you..." Ralph gritted his teeth, and Zhou Ming pushed the gun on his head, making him swallow the second half of his sentence.

"Humph. Anyway, I have brought the young lady here as requested by the master. It doesn't matter if you have one more or one less than you." Ralph sneered.

The car stopped at the door and several people got out of the car. When the bodyguards in the car in front and behind saw the gun in Zhou Ming's hand, they immediately took out their pistols and pointed them at Zhou Ming.

"There's no need to be so nervous. Let them put down their guns. I tend to be impulsive when I'm nervous," Zhou Ming said.

Ralph's face was as dark as water and he ordered: "Put down the gun."

The bodyguards looked at each other and slowly put down their guns.

"Please!" Ralph said coldly.

The two of them walked through the door, walked through the living room, and entered the dining room. They saw Adrian sitting in the main seat, and a middle-aged man with an unkempt beard, sitting two chairs to Adrian's left and devouring his food.

.

Ralph did not follow the two people in, but stood at the door and closed the door. In the entire spacious restaurant, which could accommodate forty people, there were only four people, three men and one woman.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, the middle-aged man who was devouring his food stopped eating. He looked up and saw Adele. He was a little startled. He turned to glare at Adrian and said angrily: "What on earth do you mean!"

"It doesn't matter if there's one more." Adrian ignored the middle-aged man's words, murmured, picked up the wine glass, and drank the red wine in one gulp.

"Kid, I don't care what your purpose is, just sit down and eat something first, give me a few minutes, and then whatever you want to do is up to you."

Putting down the wine glass, Adrian said to Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming smiled and nodded, sat down at the end of the long dining table, served himself a glass of wine, and saluted Adrian from afar.

Adrian ignored him, as if he really believed that Zhou Ming would really stop doing anything just because of his words, even if he had a gun in his hand.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, the last act of this scene should be staged."

Adrian stood up, straightened his suit like an old-fashioned aristocrat, walked up to Adele who was standing blankly, took her hand and brought her to the opposite side of the slovenly middle-aged man, and brought her

His body was pressed against the chair.

"Joya, I gave you time to find the answer. Now I ask you, have you found the answer?"

Adrian stood behind Adele and asked the slovenly middle-aged man.

"You bastard, you said you would give me a month, and now it's only half way!"

Gioia punched the table angrily, almost knocking the drink down and making Adele tremble.

Adele didn't understand why. She came here with the mood of asking for revenge. However, from the moment she entered this room, she had a bad premonition that kept growing in her heart, making her feel panicked.

In the middle, like a frightened rabbit, my heart is shrouded in haze, helpless and frightened.

Panic made her subconsciously want to find a sense of security, but her father standing behind her could not give her even the slightest sense of security.

She glanced at Zhou Ming, trying to gain a sense of security from the man who promised her that he would ensure her safety, but she could only fail again.

That damn man was shaking the red wine glass in his hand, as if he was enthusiastically watching a good show that was about to be staged, and he didn't even pay much attention to her.

As a result, Adele's eyes could only fall on the middle-aged man Giao Ya sitting opposite her again, and her eyes were filled with some complicated emotions.

"Of course, the time I promised is one month, but the plan can never keep up with the changes."

Adrian held Adele's face from behind and gently stroked her delicate face.

"When I learned that Adele was on the return flight, I understood that it was impossible for everything to go according to my plan. I could only send someone to invite you over temporarily, Gioia."

"Do you remember what you did 27 years ago? Do you remember the name Doris?"

"Doris?" Gioia exclaimed in disbelief. Suddenly, as if he had just reacted, he stood up suddenly, pointed at Adrian and exclaimed: "You, you are hers..."

"She is my sister, Mr. Gioia, now do you know why I have imprisoned you for 20 years?"

Adrian asked.

"So that's it, that's it!"

Gioia sat back on the chair in despair and murmured: "You are taking revenge on me. You are taking revenge on me for what I did 20 years ago. You think it was me who killed your family."

"My family, including me!"

Adrian's face showed emotions for the first time tonight, his face trembled, and his eyes gradually turned red.

"You see what they're doing, and you spread it around, you tell everyone!"

"That's right." Qiao Ya lowered his eyelids and whispered: "I told everyone, my friends, classmates at school, teachers, and on the Internet..."

"The endless abuse and humiliation flooded Doris like a tide. You don't know how hard it is for her and how hard it is for us." Adrian's voice was trembling, and he placed the hand on Adele's shoulder.

The fingers are trembling too.

"This is all because of you, Joya. All the beauty, warmth, and happiness we have have disappeared because of you!"

"This is why I imprisoned you for 20 years, Mr. Gioia."

"According to the agreement, if you can know my identity and the reason why I imprison you within a month, you will win. Now you know all this, so you win."

After saying all this, Adrian's hands no longer trembled, and his whole body exuded a sense of relief. The secret he had carried for decades was finally spoken from his mouth, and his expression returned to calm again.
