Chapter 28: Shuǐ Mèng Yáo's Background

  Guo Ming hehe smiled, lightly jumped up onto the balcony, looked up at the distance, where the police sirens sounded, turned his head to look at Shui Mengyao, and smiled: "This is what you said."

  After finishing speaking, she made a gesture of jumping, and Shui Mengyao hurriedly shouted: "Don't."

  Guo Ming had already leaped off, jumping straight down from the high platform tens of meters above. Shui Mengyao's face instantly turned pale, and she hastily leaned out to look, only to see Guo Ming waving at her with a carefree expression before he jumped and disappeared from view.

  Meng Yao didn't have time to react, her pupils suddenly constricted, a middle-aged woman wearing black clothes suddenly appeared beside her, anxiously saying: "Meng Yao, are you okay?"

  Shuǐ Mèng Yáo stared blankly at the woman who appeared, her mind unable to react for a moment. What was going on? Wasn't this her own nanny? But why could she also fly and walk on walls? Her life seemed to have turned upside down in an instant. Oh my god, it turned out that the nanny taking care of her was also a master. Why was all of this happening?

  Shui Mengyao listened to her father's narrative, nodded quietly, and understood everything. The nanny in front of her was actually her father's first love. She didn't have the heart to care about her parents' grudges and emotions. What she cared about was that her own life had been disrupted. After saying a word of exhaustion to her father, Shui Mengyao returned to her bedroom in a daze.

  Today was a rollercoaster, first encountering the legendary kidnapping, then Guo Ming appeared. Although I didn't understand the life and death of those people, Guo Ming's ability to arrive first explains that he is not an ordinary person. Is Guo Ming a so-called superpowered expert? How else could he take down all those people in the blink of an eye? She had seen the unbelievable and endless terror in Guo Shao's eyes, yet he was still able to come and rescue her with ease, what kind of person is he?

  Her own nanny was a master, and she could understand that because she used to be an elite special forces operative. But what about Guo Ming? Although the two of them didn't live together, they still met frequently, and in just a short period of time, he revealed his terrifying abilities that would make ordinary people cower in fear. What's wrong with this society? And then there were the ghosts she had seen before - the vengeful spirits from the underworld really did exist. In the past, if she hadn't encountered them, perhaps she could have ignored them, but now that she had not only encountered them but almost died at their hands, how could her mood possibly calm down?

  She pushed open the window, and across from her, a young man sat under the desk lamp, quietly reading a book. It seemed that today's events had no impact on him, or was he just pretending to be calm? Shui Mengyao didn't know, but she did know that Zhang Wenfeng, the generation's top mastermind, had been played by Guo Ming. With Guo Ming's abilities, what was there to fear from Zhang Wenfeng? Even if he really couldn't counter his opponent, it wouldn't be so exaggerated, would it? If it were before today, she might have still believed it, but now, would she still believe it?

  She suddenly had a strong desire to explore, wanting to uncover everything about Guo Ming. Looking at Guo Ming's angular face, Shui Mengyao's mouth curled up into a warm smile.

  Shui Mengyao was completely unaware that her door had been pushed open a crack, and soon the crack disappeared.

  Outside, Ming said with concern: "Xiao Hong, Meng Yao, are you two alright?"

  "Don't worry, women all have a strong desire to explore, and now Meng Yao's thoughts have shifted to Guo Ming," Sun Hong said with ease.

  "Guo Ming? Water Ming frowned and said, hoping that Meng Yao wouldn't get trapped."

  As soon as he heard this, Sun Hong's face fell and her smile quickly disappeared. She coldly said: "What do you mean by that? I'm telling you, if it weren't for Guo Ming today, Meng Yao would have been very hard to rescue. Although the opponent's underworld forces are not strong, Meng Yao is in their hands, and I have some reservations about taking action. Whether or not Meng Yao gets hurt is still uncertain."

  Although Sun Hong's tone was biased towards Guo Ming, she was also somewhat resentful in her heart. She thought that with her own strength, she could have rescued Shui Mengyao completely, but she didn't expect Guo Ming to be the first to take action. In fact, which member of the special warfare team hadn't been through a hundred battles? Especially during the Vietnam War, the strength of the special forces was even more formidable. And Sun Hong was one of the best among them. She didn't see Guo Ming make his move, but seeing that the scene was only slightly chaotic, she had already secretly admired him in her heart. However, deep down, she still had some reservations, and as they spoke, she found herself getting more and more entangled.

  In the water, Ming naturally understood and smiled: "Xiao Hong, you misunderstood. Guo Ming is a good kid, but I've always thought that with great ability comes great responsibility. What I hope for is that Meng Yao can find someone who truly loves her and marry an ordinary person to live a stable life. That's why I didn't let her participate in the social circle of high-society people, it was so she could be ordinary. Xiao Hong, do you understand what I mean?"

  Sun Hong was taken aback, looking at the middle-aged man with a hint of white hair, and nodded slowly. She saw in his eyes a deep love for his daughter, unlike the usual scandals of wealthy families. It seemed that Shui Ming had not made this mistake, perhaps because he had suffered greatly in the past and did not want to harm future generations. In any case, Meng Yao was happy, so what's the point of thinking about it?

  "By the way, just now the director of the public security bureau told me that those people who fainted had some suspicious circumstances. It seemed like they were hit by one person with a sudden attack method, one strike and they all fell down. But there were nearly twenty people in total, how did he do it? They couldn't figure it out no matter what. Do you know?" Water Ming asked.

  "This involves speed, I can only say that at Guo Ming's young age, he has achieved this step, and compared to some excellent family juniors, it is not too much to praise."

  "Aristocratic family? As soon as he heard these two words, Ming's eyebrows furrowed deeply. In fact, his wife was from an aristocratic family, and he knew a thing or two about the immense power of such families. These forces were not to be trifled with. However, due to his well-hidden identity, no one yet knew that he was the son-in-law of the Eastern aristocratic family."

  "I don't understand, why didn't you let Meng Yao go to the Dongfang family to learn martial skills? Their family's influence is also considered quite strong," Sun Hong asked again, voicing a question that had been on her mind for a long time.

  "I've been to the Eastern World, where I deeply felt inferior. I thought that back then, I was also a campus heartthrob and gymnastics prince at Beida, but what's the use? In the Eastern World, everything is respected based on strength, and my accomplishments are not even comparable to those of a second-rate martial artist. Therefore, I vowed never to enter the Eastern World again. All these years, I have kept my promise and never returned to the Eastern World. I don't want my daughter to follow in my footsteps."

  "But your worries are unfounded, after all these years, haven't you realized Water Dream Jade's exceptional talent? I believe that as long as she cultivates her martial skills, she will definitely make a name for herself and create her own path to success," Sun Hong said with a smile.

  "It's precisely because of this that I don't want Meng Yao to go. If Meng Yao can't meet the standards of being an excellent disciple of the Dongfang family, with her looks, she'll probably become a daughter-in-law of some branch families immediately. Even if Meng Yao is lucky enough to become an excellent disciple, if the Dongfang family is doing well, then that's fine. But thirty years on this side of the river, thirty years on the other side, I don't want Meng Yao to become a sacrifice for their power one day. Ming said solemnly, 'I won't allow such a thing to happen.'"

  Actually, there's another thing that Ming didn't mention. Meiyao and young Hong have a 70-80% resemblance. Let's just say it's a reminder. Back then, because of me, Hong's life was ruined like that. I won't allow Hong's shadow to repeat the mistakes of the past again.

  "Don't worry, I'll guard Meng Yao with my life and absolutely won't let her suffer any harm," Sun Hong said firmly.
