49: Cruel means, the Gao family is completely finished! !

Gao Xuewei pulled Xiao Xi and walked towards the villa's main gate.

As they passed the doghouse,

the disheveled Gao Shiyuan struggled to crawl to the edge of the doghouse and pleaded with Gao Xuewei, "Xiao Wei, save Dad! Please, save Dad!"

Gao Xuewei glanced indifferently at the doghouse, her heart completely unmoved.

"Xiao Wei, Dad knows he was wrong. Please forgive Dad. Dad truly knows his mistake. Please let Dad go, okay? Dad shouldn't have forced you to marry Shen Zeting..."

Gao Shiyuan cried, his old face streaked with tears, his eyes moist, continuously repenting to Gao Xuewei.

"Heh heh." Gao Xuewei sneered, completely unwilling to acknowledge him, and continued to pull Xiao Xi forward.

"Xiao Wei, I'm begging you! You can't just leave me! I'm your Dad, we're blood relatives! How can you be so heartless!"

"If you abandon Dad, Dad really won't be able to live!"

Gao Shiyuan cried out heartbrokenly, his voice filled with endless regret and despair.

But Gao Xuewei still showed no reaction, nor did she pay him any mind!

Gao Xuewei pulled Xiao Xi, walking further and further away, step by step.

"No! Xiao Wei, how could you do this! You're too vicious!"

"Xiao Wei! You can't just leave Dad, Xiao Wei... Xiao Wei..."

Gao Shiyuan cried out in despair, watching Gao Xuewei's back fade into the distance until she disappeared from his sight!

"Xiao Wei... Dad was wrong, please come back..."

Gao Shiyuan knelt on the ground, wailing, two lines of muddy tears streaming down his face, looking utterly pathetic.

Unfortunately, no one paid him any attention.

"Dad, I'm in so much pain..."

In another corner of the doghouse, the disheveled Gao Yunyun slowly crawled out. Her figure was hunched, her hair messy and face dirty, appearing extremely miserable.

At this moment, she was incredibly weak, her body constantly twitching, foaming at the mouth, as if she could faint at any moment.

"Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun!?" Seeing this, Gao Shiyuan was instantly terrified. He quickly crawled to Gao Yunyun's side and helped her up.

"Cough cough..." As soon as she stood up, Gao Yunyun coughed violently a few times, then swayed and fell into Gao Shiyuan's arms!

Seeing this, Gao Shiyuan's heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"Dad, save me, save me..."

"Cough cough..." Gao Yunyun moaned weakly, her eyes unfocused, her face extremely pale, she didn't even have the strength to speak.

"Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun... hold on, Dad will take you to the hospital right away..."

Gao Shiyuan said, trembling, then tried to hoist Gao Yunyun onto his shoulder.

Just then, with a "boom!" a black car drove in from outside the villa, crashing directly into Gao Shiyuan and Gao Yunyun.

After hitting the two, the car did not stop; instead, it continued forward, directly running them over!

"Ah—!!!"

In an instant, blood splattered and screams pierced the sky. Gao Yunyun was crushed under the car's wheels, dying on the spot!

"No..." Gao Shiyuan's eyes widened in terror. He used his last ounce of strength to grab Gao Yunyun's clothes and shake her, trying to wake her up!

But Gao Yunyun had already breathed her last.

"Xiao Yun!!!" Gao Shiyuan cried out in utter despair, his voice hoarse and heartbroken.

He reached out and touched Gao Yunyun's gradually cooling body, tears streaming down his face!

The other members of the Gao Family were also stunned by the scene before them, all frozen in place, staring blankly at the car that had run over Gao Yunyun, not saying a word.

Suddenly, the car door opened, and a burly bodyguard stepped out. He raised his handgun and aimed it at Gao Shiyuan.

"Bang!!"

"Pfft!"

The bodyguard pulled the trigger, and the bullet from the chamber pierced Gao Shiyuan's thigh, his clothes stained with crimson blood.

"Ugh..." Gao Shiyuan clutched his chest, his face contorted in pain, his mouth opening and closing as he let out a painful groan, his body falling heavily to the ground.

"Ah ah ah—!!"

"Dad!!"

"No—Uncle!!"

The surrounding Gao Family members let out gasps of alarm and rushed over in a panic.

Looking at Gao Shiyuan lying in a pool of blood, everyone was filled with extreme grief, frantically fumbling to call for emergency services.

Outside the villa.

A luxurious commercial van was parked quietly by the roadside.

Gao Xuewei and Xiao Xi stood by the car, their expressions as calm as water as they watched the distraught relatives.

However, after hearing the gunshot, a hint of complex emotion still appeared in her eyes.

Lu Chen stood to the side, looking at Gao Xuewei with interest: "Do you think my methods are cruel? Don't worry, your Dad didn't die, at most only Gao Yunyun died."

Gao Xuewei turned to look, only to see Lu Chen leaning casually against the car's hood, his arms crossed over his chest, looking at her with a half-smile.

Gao Xuewei gently shook her head, her tone calm yet firm: "No, I just find it a bit ironic."

Hearing this, Lu Chen raised an eyebrow, puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

"Because I'll always remember what he said at my eighth birthday party. He said I was his favorite daughter, that he would always love and dote on me, and that even if I made a mistake, he would forgive and tolerate me."

Gao Xuewei murmured, as if lost in thought.

"But what about reality? In the face of profit and power, he sacrificed me without hesitation, and even treated his own granddaughter like this..."

As Gao Xuewei spoke, a mocking curve appeared at the corner of her lips: "Perhaps, this is his true self."

"Heh heh..." Lu Chen chuckled, noncommittal.

At this moment, a certain chord in Gao Xuewei's heart was suddenly struck.

She looked at Lu Chen and said seriously: "Thank you, Mr. Lu. If you hadn't helped me tonight, I really would have had a hard time escaping the Gao Family, and it would have been impossible to rescue my daughter."

Lu Chen smiled but did not answer; instead, he retorted: "Then do you know who I am?"

Hearing this, Gao Xuewei paused, carefully observed Lu Chen, then shook her head and said: "I don't know..."

"You'll know later." With that, Lu Chen opened the car door and got in.

At this moment,

the Gao Family members walked out of the villa's main gate, looking at Gao Xuewei and Xiao Xi with frightened and complex gazes.

They never imagined that the once useless Young Miss would actually become the master, causing the Gao Family to be completely destroyed!

Gao Shiyuan died!

Gao Yunyun died!

All of the Gao Family's assets were liquidated!

The once infinitely glorious Gao Family instantly became an empty shell, ruined overnight!

This was simply like being in a nightmare, shocking and even more terrifying!

"Mommy, Mommy, why do they always look at me with such scary eyes? I... I'm so scared."

Xiao Xi noticed everyone's gazes and fearfully hugged Gao Xuewei's arm, constantly hiding behind her, her small face filled with dread as she spoke.

Gao Xuewei quickly pulled Xiao Xi into her embrace, extended her fair, slender arm, and gently patted Xiao Xi, comforting her:

"Xiao Xi, be good, don't be scared. Let's go to the car."
