Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 865 - 720: The Grand Finale

Yi Luowa’s voice was small, but it still startled Mi Chenxuan. Mi Chenxuan gave her a look, "Keep your voice down, don’t let Uncle hear."

Yi Luowa steadied her mind and looked at her father, who had been watching her all along, "Dad, a few kids got into a fight in the side hall, my mom and Tong Airui went to stop it, but the more they tried, the worse it got. I’ll go check it out, keep an eye on things here."

"They usually get along so well, what happened today?"

"Who knows, it’s really driving me crazy!" Yi Luowa slightly furrowed her brows, "I’ll go take a look, I’ll be back soon, don’t alarm Danton and An Yang."

The Great Emperor Haotian nodded, "Go quickly!"

Yi Luowa quickly followed Mi Chenxuan to Nancy’s chamber. This chamber, with its own entrance and courtyard, had been sealed off by Queen Haotian ever since they found out Nancy was a fake princess.

Yi Luowa entered the courtyard gates—what a sight! The courtyard was filled with people they had brought from Summer Witch, not only them, but even Haotian’s dark souls were lurking in the shadows.

Yi Luowa looked at Mi Chenxuan, "Now you should tell me! Who exactly is holding my mom hostage?"

"Joel!"

"Joel?" Yi Luowa’s body slightly wavered.

Mi Chenxuan quickly supported her, "Sister-in-law, it’s okay, we won’t let him harm Aunt."

Yi Luowa looked around, "Old Eight, where is your fourth brother? Where is Tong Airui? Where did he go?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"..." Mi Chenxuan whispered something in Yi Luowa’s ear.

Yi Luowa’s tense face slightly eased after hearing what he said.

Mi Chenxuan inserted an earpiece into her ear, Yi Luowa held her breath, and soon, her mother’s voice came through.

"Joel, I misjudged you, thinking of a venomous snake as a friend, only to be bitten by you repeatedly. My people are outside, I advise you to let me go, you can’t get away!"

"Zhi Lan, this is not what I wanted! But your eyes are only on him, and he is too powerful. If I don’t get rid of him, you’ll be by his side forever. I know you’ve suffered a lot because of what I’ve done over the years. I waited until today to take you because I wanted you to see Danton’s wedding firsthand, so you can leave with me peacefully."

Queen Haotian gave him a disdainful glance, "Are you implying I should thank you?"

"Zhi Lan, I know I’m selfish, but I really can’t live without you. I was planning to take you away secretly tonight, but your beloved son-in-law found my wet nurse’s daughter, so I have to take you now. Zhi Lan, those people outside can’t stop me, and you shouldn’t put up a futile struggle. If you get hurt, it pains me."

Queen Haotian lowered her eyes to the rope tied around her, "Doesn’t it pain you to treat me like this?"

"Zhi Lan, don’t say things in anger. If I didn’t tie you, would you come with me?"

Queen Haotian snorted, "I’d rather die than go with you! Now that I know you’re the one behind it all, I’ve finally figured out many things. You instigated Haotian’s internal conflict!"

"It wasn’t me who instigated the internal conflict, it’s all Randy’s fault. He promised to give the throne to Du Ma but went back on his word."

Queen Haotian roared, "It’s not Randy’s fault! It’s Du Ma. He said if he inherited the throne, the first person he’d kill would be Randy. He also said that once Randy was dead, he’d marry me. He even threatened to kill everyone who opposed him. Do you think the people of Haotian would be happy with such a tyrant on the throne?"

"Zhi Lan, we have a future to think about. I won’t argue with you about these matters now, let’s go."

As Joel spoke, he reached out to grab Queen Haotian. She stepped back and shouted, "If you dare touch me, I’ll kill myself right in front of you!"

"Zhi Lan, please don’t be impulsive. I won’t touch you, just come with me.

"

"Never! You’ve committed so many unforgivable acts against my family, how could I possibly go with you!"

"Zhi Lan! Can’t you understand me, it’s been over thirty years, and for you, I’ve given up so many great opportunities. I’ve even abandoned my own revenge, just hoping to be with you. But when have you ever spared a thought for me? Never mind, I’ll explain everything to you bit by bit later. Today, no matter what, I’m taking you with me!"

As Joel spoke, he reached out and tilted a painting over a meter high on the wall to a forty-five-degree angle. With a creak, a man-sized gap opened up in the wall behind the painting.
