Gao Shuwei flicked one of the bullets with his finger, and in the next second, they all dropped to the ground.
Ding~ Ding~ Ding~
He glanced at the bullets and shook his head. "No. I already transferred my spatial element ability to you in our previous life. Unfortunately, you could only inherit that ability from me."
"Xiao Ran, I actually wished you could have inherited my clairvoyance and time-control abilities as well. If you hadn't run away in our past life, I would have completed my mission back then."
Yao Ran was stunned as realization dawned on her. She looked at him in disbelief and asked, "The abilities that were injected into me… they all belonged to you?"
Gao Shuwei smiled. "Of course. Only my abilities are worthy of you. Those trashy ones weren't fit for you and had no real use."
Knowing firsthand the agony of ability extraction, Yao Ran couldn't understand why Gao Shuwei was willing to sacrifice his ability and go through the pain.
Staring into his cold eyes, she asked, "Why did you give them to me? What do you really want?"
Gao Shuwei chuckled, then pointed at her dantian. "Everything was for the Lingyuan Jade Pendant."
As Yao Ran's expression darkened, he added, "Ah, don't be afraid. I won't do anything to you as long as you hand over the Lingyuan Jade Pendant."
Noticing the doubt and hostility in her eyes, Gao Shuwei decided to explain further.
He tapped a few keys on the control panel, and countless files and data appeared on the large screen mounted on the wall.
Staring at her, Gao Shuwei observed Yao Ran's expression as he explained, "These files contain the results of my research across countless lifetimes."
"Thanks to Grandfather's trust in me during this lifetime, I accidentally discovered that as long as I possess Yao family DNA, I, too, can use the Lingyuan Jade Pendant. Thanks to this discovery, you don't need to die."
Listening to what he said, Yao Ran frowned. "So the reason you kidnapped Grandfather was for my family DNA?"
At her accusation, Gao Shuwei's smile disappeared.
He sighed and replied helplessly, "Xiao Ran, I didn't kidnap Grandfather. I saved him from Lan Guanghui. Our Grandfather is still alive today because I arrived just in time to save him."
Yao Ran sneered and said, "Liar. You took Grandfather for your own selfish motives. You needed his DNA so you could use the Lingyuan Jade Pendant."
Gao Shuwei pondered on her words, then admitted, "You are not wrong. But the fact remains—I saved our Grandfather."
Realizing that arguing with him was pointless, Yao Ran decided to extract more information instead.
With that in mind, she asked calmly, "What do you plan to do with the Lingyuan Jade Pendant? If your reason is convincing enough, I might just consider giving it to you."
