Chapter 931: Serves Him Right
However, Zhong Nuannuan must find out what happened to her mother.
Under her brothers’ expectant gazes, Zhong Nuannuan asked, “How did my mother get kidnapped? No matter what, you’re the richest family in Camino. Why didn’t you try to find her? Although the Internet wasn’t as developed back then, it shouldn’t have been difficult for you.”
Nangong Jin shook his head. “It would be very easy if you just want to find someone. However, you’re also aware that our Auntie, your mother, was kidnapped back then. All the girls in the Nangong family are born with supernatural abilities. To some criminals, this is a huge money-making tool. Although not many people know about this, there are still some who do. Therefore, from the moment Auntie was born, no matter how well protected she was, there were always people coveting her.
“After our Auntie was kidnapped, my Grandpa, my father, Second Uncle, and Third Uncle immediately searched for her. However, we were up against someone extraordinarily powerful. We had no way of tracking down Auntie’s whereabouts. Every time we managed to get so close to tracking down Auntie’s whereabouts after utilizing everything we got, all our information would get wiped out by the culprit.
“A fortuitous encounter in the past granted the Nangong family a treasure called Soul Orb. There is a total of 30 orbs in the set of Soul Orb. As long as we dripped our relative’s blood into the Soul Orb, the Soul Orb would continue to glow like a luminous pearl as long as our family members are still alive. However, one day, 17 years ago, the glow on one of the Soul Orb was suddenly extinguished, and the extinguished Soul Orb was Auntie’s Soul Orb.
“At that time, everyone had been looking for Auntie for two years, but they found nothing. However, Auntie’s Soul Orb had always been glowing, so this could be considered the only gratification Grandpa and Grandma had. Nobody expected the Soul Orb to go out so suddenly. Grandma could not take the blow and passed away. Grandpa also fell seriously ill because of this. He suddenly had a myocardial infarction and almost died. My father and the others searched for the list of people who passed away in the country at that time and sent people to check if Auntie was among the women who passed, but there was no trace of her at all.”
Zhong Nuannuan finally said, “That’s because when my mother died, my father didn’t send out an obituary.”
“What?” The Nangong brothers were furious. “Why? Why didn’t he post an obituary? Then… How did Auntie die?”
“Zhong Qianqian’s mother, Jiang Shuwan, killed her, but Zhong Kuijun was the one who got the poison.”
“…!!!”
The four Nangong brothers finally switched out of their harmless, big puppy appearance. Although no one said a word, their eyes burned with a ferocity that was absent just a second ago.
Although they did not know what had happened, Jiang Shuwan and Zhong Kuijun were sentenced to death in their books.
The Nangong family… had plenty of ways to make such people like them suffer a fate worse than death.
However, even so, the dead had already passed on. Even if they were to hack that pair of scumbags to pieces, their Auntie, the once outstanding princess of the Nangong family, could never open her eyes again.
“Nuannuan, can you tell us what kind of life you’ve been living all these years? Also, what happened to the Zhong family and Zhong Qianqian? The people we sent told us that Zhong Kuijun has been arrested, and he’s charged for getting involved in illegal activities and smuggling firearms.”
Zhong Nuannuan laughed coldly and said, “He’s arrested because I’m the one who reported him.”
“Serves him right!” The four Nangong brothers exclaimed in unison.
Initially, Zhong Nuannuan thought blending in with these people would be uncomfortably awkward. Yet, she never foresaw that the four of them would acknowledge her as their family right from the start. It felt pretty good.
