The siblings spoke in Hua Country language.
They didn't even bother to acknowledge Edith and the others, only talking to Xiao Ya.
So... Edith couldn't understand.
But she had eyes, and she could see the actions—
Xiao Ya affectionately hugged Wei Wenyi's neck, kissed her cheek, and called out softly, "Auntie."
If Gui Wenxin had still harbored a shred of hope before, that hope was completely shattered with Xiao Ya's words.
No wonder this girl came straight at her with the intention of exposing her!
It's just that everyone was distracted by her relationship with Qin Yue, more concerned about whether she was here to save Qin Yue.
Thus, they misplaced their focus...
Gui Wenxin's heart sank, and she took a half-step back, already subtly preparing to run.
But then Edith suddenly walked over to her side and grabbed her wrist.
Then Edith asked Xiao Ya, "Are they your..."
Xiao Ya didn't respond. She looked at Gui Wenxin and asked, "Don't you know them?"
Gui Wenxin clenched her nails, remaining silent.
Xiao Ya turned to look at Edith: "Then you should know, right?"
Edith then looked at the transport ship.
Fake?
This thing can't be faked.
A cruise ship can be rented.
How do you rent something like this? It requires connections with the authorities.
Edith's voice was hoarse: "I... know."
Xiao Ya asked, "Can you now invite your guests to come down?"
Edith suddenly realized something... If Gui Wenxin was fake, then the people she introduced?
"Didn't you hear her?" Wei Wenyi let go of Xiao Ya and turned to glare at Edith.
Wei Wenyi's eyes were starkly black and white, almost lifeless, making one feel a chill just by looking into them.
This was the pressure from a mature woman.
"I..." Edith struggled to breathe.
"What a lively scene," a male voice suddenly rang out, cold and loud, impossible to ignore.
Another group approached, led by a tall man with a typical Germanic appearance, with broad, hard features that exuded a strong sense of intimidation.
His steps were fast, thudding on the pier like drumbeats, making everyone even more nervous.
"It seems I'm late," the man said.
Wei Wenjuan glanced at him. Since Xiao Ya had already forced him to shake hands earlier, he didn't show any resistance or dislike now.
He even moved his wheelchair a bit.
Finally, one of Kemuning's subordinates got the chance to speak, pointing at Gui Wenxin and saying, "This is your second goddaughter..."
Now, the man's identity was clear.
Edith's breathing became more pronounced: "Mr. Kemuning?"
Kemuning first walked up to Xiao Ya and said, "I don't have a second goddaughter, don't be angry."
Unlike Wei Wenjuan and the others, he spoke in English.
Xiao Ya replied to him, "I'm not angry."
At this point, Edith and everyone around her were stunned.
Kemuning obviously didn't believe Xiao Ya wasn't angry.
If the little madcap didn't want him to be someone else's father and got angry over it, he'd actually be quite pleased.
Kemuning ruffled Xiao Ya's hair with a big hand and then turned to look at Gui Wenxin: "I was injured and you saved me?"
"You moved me with your gentleness? I pitied you for having no parents, so I took you as my goddaughter?"
Kemuning spoke each word clearly.
The scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Gui Wenxin's usually calm mind was now buzzing uncontrollably.
Kemuning... he's a madman.
So when she claimed to be Kemuning's goddaughter, everyone thought it was impressive to be the goddaughter of such a person.
But now, this madman stood before her, publicly exposing her lie.
The madman's methods... Gui Wenxin didn't dare to imagine.
"This is my goddaughter, my only goddaughter, her name is Demon," Kemuning pulled Xiao Ya to his side.
Such a name, paired with Xiao Ya's face, created a stark contrast...
Even Edith couldn't help but look at Xiao Ya a few more times in shock.
Wei Wenjuan wanted to say not to give his niece a weird name, but he held back.
Kemuning lowered his head: "Not talking? Let me tell you how she became my goddaughter."
"I went to the island to kill Wei Wenjuan and Wei Wenqing."
Wei Wenjuan was speechless.
Saying that to my face? If it weren't for you being Xiao Ya's godfather, I'd have run you over with my wheelchair.
"She protected her uncle by infiltrating my side, accompanying me to kill, and I taught her how to shoot."
"Gentle?"
"She's not gentle; she's a brave and fearless little madcap."
As Wei Wenjuan listened, his expression became increasingly complex, eventually turning into tenderness.
He had never heard Xiao Ya talk about these details herself. Hearing them from Kemuning's mouth now, he realized just how shocking it was.
Their Xiao Ya.
Their precious Xiao Ya... at such a young age, she had already sacrificed so much for the family.
Wei Wenyi beside them also clenched her fingers, listening quietly.
Xiao Ya spoke up at this moment, looking at Gui Wenxin: "Thank you for pretending to be me, for making Edith believe, so you spent a lot of money to secure the right to use this route for 24 hours a week, and specifically chose Gui's shipping company to purchase the service."
"It facilitated today for Uncle and the others to travel smoothly on their own shipping route."
The last straw was laid down.
Gui Wenxin had no chance to explain.
"I didn't expect... that Qin Yue would bring the real Gui family heiress with her," Gui Wenxin said with a difficult expression.
Edith, trembling, suddenly turned her head and slapped Gui Wenxin across the face: "You lied to me!"
After slapping her, she quickly pulled out a gun.
But Gui Wenxin's reaction was faster. This mysterious woman knocked the gun out of Edith's hand and instead pressed a very small gun against Edith's temple.
"Didn't you ever doubt me? You must have had doubts at some point. But our interests are intertwined, and you enjoyed everything I brought you, so you didn't want to delve deeper."
"Didn't Miss Demon also warn you? You chose not to believe her."
"She thanks me, and I thank you too, for standing by me at this moment to prevent me from escaping, making it convenient for me to take you as a hostage."
Gui Wenxin said, holding Edith and taking a half-step back.
"Mr. Kemuning, I mean no offense, nor do I intend to offend your goddaughter. My purpose in all this was only to force Qin Yue to die. Any additional ambitions belong to Edith. I just set the stage for her, and she played whatever drama she wanted; it has nothing to do with me."
This statement sounded a bit strange.
Xiao Ya thought.
Just to make Qin Yue die?
Why?
What kind of grudge does she have with the Qin family? But what kind of grudge would be worth setting up such a grand scheme just to make Qin Yue die?
"Edith is the daughter of the Cox family, even if she is not favored, her family would never allow a family member to die in such a place... it's a matter of face..."
"Let me go." Gui Wenxin's muscles were tense, her words strong but her voice trembling.
Kemuning pulled out a gun and pressed it directly against Edith's forehead.
Edith was stunned, unable to even scream.
Gui Wenxin was also stunned.
Kemuning turned to Xiao Ya and said, "Come, I'll teach you. When someone takes a hostage to threaten you, you first kill the hostage, then you won't be threatened."
Edith was a bit panicked.
Gui Wenxin was even more frightened by the madman.
Only Wei Wenjuan and Wei Wenyi raised their eyebrows, thinking, yeah, we agree with that point.
Even if someone were to take them hostage to threaten Xiao Ya, they would rather die than become Xiao Ya's weakness.
Not bad teaching.
"You're just scaring me," Gui Wenxin's stiff lips managed to squeeze out the words.
Kemuning suddenly lowered the gun.
"Bang—"
It hit Edith's thigh.
Edith screamed and slid down.
The next shot, Kemuning aimed at Gui Wenxin's forehead.
Gui Wenxin let go of the gun: "I'm willing to explain everything, and I'm willing to put down the gun. Can you spare me?"
Edith was in agony, rolling around.
Now she's surrendering? Then didn't she just get shot for nothing? Edith, who had been so satisfied with Gui Wenxin before, now hated her even more.
Ke Muning kicked Gui Wenxin's gun away with a swift kick, grabbed her by the collar, and slammed her violently against the iron plate behind him: "You pretended to be my goddaughter, so of course, you deserve a horrible death. There's a Chinese idiom for this, it's called... 'kill the chicken to warn the monkey.'"
After saying that, Ke Muning glanced back at Xiao Ya, indicating that he was still diligently learning the language of Hua Country and could now use idioms flexibly!
Xiao Ya sighed and gave him a thumbs up.
Then she turned to look at the other members of the sisterhood who were frozen in fear: "Why don't you go and invite the guests down?"
Wei Wenyi interjected: "Where are they?"
Xiao Ya pointed to the glass booth behind the railing on the second floor inside the door.
Wei Wenyi stretched out her hand and took the M82A1 from a nearby bodyguard.
She dropped to the ground.
The armor-piercing bullet shot out, shattering the glass instantly, and inside, curses in various languages rang out.
Xiao Ya was stunned for a moment: "If those guests aren't fake, they might have quite a bit of clout, huh?"
What if she guessed wrong?
Wei Wenyi comforted her: "It's okay, Auntie is mentally ill, it's normal to accidentally kill a couple."
Xiao Ya: ?
The people on the second floor were terrified, all holding pistols and carefully making their way down.
A crisp sound of a gun being cocked came from behind Xiao Ya.
Following that, a series of bullets, with a wide spread, swept past those people from behind, a long burst.
Those people fell down the stairs, not dead, but all injured.
Almost at first glance, they lost their ability to move.
Xiao Ya turned her head to look.
Uncle Wei Wenjuan held the gun against his chest, the barrel smoking.
Wei Wenjuan met Xiao Ya's gaze: "I'm just a cripple, even the judge would think, how could I possibly kill them?"
Xiao Ya: ?
The others were completely terrified.
Demons!
They had invited a group of demons!
Qin Yue, also sitting in a wheelchair, looked a bit bewildered and raised her head slightly.
Ah? What just happened? Did I dream it? It's... solved?
