She's come clean; the fake heiress has a ton of aliases.

Chapter 168 Duan Zhu Arrives
A ruthless glint flashed in Nan Qingqing's eyes as she grabbed the hunting rifle.

"Mom, just bear with it, I'll go and take care of Nanyu."

Sheng Ruomei endured the excruciating pain, clutching her wound with her hand, her face contorted in agony, "Qingqing, you must kill her!"

Nan Qingqing picked up the hunting rifle, kicked open the door, and walked out.

She bit her lower lip, her sinister gaze fixed on Nan Yu, and pointed the gun at her.

Her trembling hands betrayed her inner panic.

Nan Qingqing closed her eyes and pulled the trigger.

boom!
The recoil of the shotgun made Nan Qingqing fall backward, almost losing her grip on the rifle.

She opened her eyes in alarm, but before she could see what was in front of her, she felt the cold touch of a gun barrel above her head.

Following the gun barrel, she saw Nan Yu standing unharmed in front of her.

Nan Qingqing's face turned pale instantly, but even in her panic, she couldn't help but force a flattering smile.

"Sister, it was all a misunderstanding. I didn't fire the gun. It just went off accidentally. Please don't fire it impulsively."

Nan Yu slightly lifted her eyelids and looked at her coldly.

"Nan Qingqing, why do you always treat people like idiots?"

A hint of resentment flashed deep in Nan Qingqing's eyes. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a water-red streak in the distance, and her heart skipped a beat.

She immediately knelt down, looking innocent, and begged loudly, "Sister, please let me take our foster mother down the mountain. You've pierced her thigh. If we don't take her to the hospital soon, her life will be in danger."

“Once I get her to the hospital, you can shoot me however you want, I’ll accept it. All I’m asking now is for you to let me save my adoptive mother.”

After saying this, with glistening tears on her face, she straightened her frail body and kowtowed heavily.

Looking at Nan Qingqing's innocent, rabbit-like appearance, Nan Yu felt that she was the most heinous villain.

Her eyes darkened. "Nan Qingqing, stop pretending in front of me. It's disgusting." Suddenly, an angry shout came from behind her.

"What are you doing? Don't touch Qingqing!"

Upon hearing the unfamiliar voice, Nan Yu's eyes flashed with confusion. Just as she was about to turn around, she saw Nan Qingqing trembling and shouting in the dead of night.

"Mom, don't come any closer! Nan Yu is a madwoman! She's going to kill my adoptive mother and me too! Don't worry about us, run!"

Upon hearing the word "Mom," Nan Yu's body stiffened, and she quickly turned around.

Before I could even see Duan Zhu's face clearly, I heard her furious voice.

"Qingqing, don't be afraid, Mommy won't let you get hurt."

"Wu Jiu, hold Nan Yu down!"

In an instant, all that Nan Yu could see was gold.

By the time she came to her senses, Wu Jiu had already pinned her to the ground. Although his movements were gentle, he was very strong, firmly restraining her limbs and leaving her no room to move.

Even her face was covered by the lion's mane, and she could only barely see Duan Zhu running towards Nan Qingqing with a pained expression through the gaps in the mane.

"Qingqing, are you alright? Did Nanyu hurt you?"

Nan Qingqing, her eyes red and swollen, gently shook her head, "I'm fine, it's just my adoptive mother..."

As she said this, her body trembled with tears streaming down her face, and she tightly grasped Duan Zhu's hand.

"Mom, please save my adoptive mother. That madwoman Nan Yu injured her thigh and it's bleeding constantly. I'm so afraid something will happen to her."

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhu glanced at Nan Yu, who was pinned under the lion, her eyes filled with contempt.

"To be so cruel to one's own mother is truly outrageous."
