Chapter 188, This is the truth
Feeling that Si Xu was not particularly angry, the man trembled and continued to fight for his own survival.
"Professor Si, you've seen that I'm not a person with superpowers. In this world, I can only follow Shen Lang, otherwise how can I survive?
"When Shen Lang first approached me, I also refused. When I hypnotized Miss Jiang before, I told Shen Lang that I would never again..."
"Before?" Si Xu caught the key word and interrupted the man, saying in a deep voice, "You also hypnotized Jiang Ran before?"
The man stuttered, realizing that he had said the wrong thing.
He thought that Professor Si had found him and knew everything he had done... Turns out, he didn't know that Jiang Ranran had been hypnotized before?
The man rolled his eyes and smiled: "No, no, I mean, Chen Lang came to me before and proposed to hypnotize Miss Jiang...ah!"
The man raised his foot and stepped on the back of his neck, pushing him to the ground.
"You won't tell the truth?" He sneered, "Then go to hell."
"No, no, no! Don't kill me!" The man gasped for air as he struggled to breathe. "Professor Si, I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"
Si Xu moved his feet away: "Speak."
“I followed Shen Lang before the apocalypse. I used to be the Shen family’s psychologist and would also go to the Shen family’s experimental base to provide psychological counseling to some of the experimental subjects.
"Later, Professor Jiang got into trouble, and Shen Lang took Miss Shen and Miss Jiang back to the Shen family. It was at that time that I hypnotized Miss Jiang."
It was also after that hypnosis that Jiang Ranran seemed like a different person, and became the person that Chen Lang liked the most.
"Why hypnotize Jiang Ran?"
"It's... for the virus-related information left by Professor Jiang."
"Information?" Was it the information that he and Jiang Ran dug out from under the plum tree in the Jiang family's back garden? "With Chen Muxin here, why bother looking for an ignorant little girl? What could she know?"
"I think so too!" The man's tone sounded indignant. "Tell me, it's an adult matter, why are you bothering a little girl? It's embarrassing to tell anyone about it!"
"Get to the point."
“Yes, yes.” Having participated in the entire change of the Shen family, the man still remembered it clearly, “Originally, Shen Lang was planning to find Shen Muxin, but who knew…”
The man shuddered when he thought of the blood splattered on half of the wall and the woman's eyes that were open in her death.
"I don't know where Chen Muxin found out about Shen Lang's plan. When I entered, she... hit her head against the wall of the room and died."
Then, the Shen family could only announce to the public that Shen Muxin died of love.
"I see." Thinking of Jiang Ran's evaluation of Shen Muxin, Si Xu sneered, "He can be so cruel to his own daughter. He is indeed a beast in human skin."
No matter what Si Xu said, the man just nodded in agreement.
"Shen Muxin is dead, Shen Lang can only look for Miss Jiang." The man choked, "Professor Si, I was really controlled by others, and I didn't mean to hurt Miss Jiang. Please be magnanimous and let me go!"
"Did Chen Lang get the information he wanted from Jiang Ranran?"
The man recalled for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know - when I hypnotized Miss Jiang, she didn't know anything, but I'm not sure whether Shen Lang found it later."
That means it was not found.
If they had obtained useful information, the Shen family would not have stopped there.
After getting useful information, Si Xu kicked the person on the ground: "If you don't want me to kill you, then okay, I'll give you a chance."
The man nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, you say, you say..."
"Come with me to the conference room and repeat to everyone else what you just said to me."
“This…” The man showed an embarrassment, “Professor Si, if I go to the conference room, Shen Lang will kill me…”
"If you don't reveal the truth to the public, I will kill you right now." Si Xu looked at the man with a half-smile, "Sooner or later, die. Choose one."
The man began to cry and wailed, "Professor Si, I've told you everything you need to know. Please, spare my life! I beg you! I have elderly parents and young children to support. I can't die here!"
Annoyed by his howling, Si Xu kicked him away: "Okay, if you tell the truth, I might consider sparing your life."
"Really?"
"What? You don't believe me?"
"No, no, no! Of course I believe it! Of course I believe it!"
The man's face was filled with joy, and he expressed a lot of gratitude with tears in his eyes. Then he got up tremblingly.
Si Xu stood up: "I'm going to change my clothes, wait a moment."
“Yes, yes.”
…
After a while, the footsteps in the living room faded away. In the room, Jiang Ran leaned against the door and raised his hands to cover his eyes.
…
In the second half of the night, the group of big men in the conference room who usually lived a life of luxury could no longer bear the hunger and began to chat with the captain of the special power team who was guarding outside.
"Captain Gu, how long will Professor Si keep us locked up?"
"This isn't a solution. If he can't find out who's behind this, are we going to be locked up here forever?"
"We haven't had dinner yet, and haven't even had a sip of water..."
Ignoring the chatter of those people, Gu Yunqing smiled harmlessly: "I am also following orders. Without Professor Si's orders, I can only stay here. Don't worry, everyone. As long as Professor Si finds out the truth..."
"What if the surveillance video records the truth?" Si Xu was not there, and someone, not taking Gu Yunqing seriously, interrupted him directly, "Is Professor Si going to silence us all?"
Gu Yunqing glanced at him and smiled brightly: "That's a good idea, thank you for your reminder."
The man choked: "..." What do you mean by reminder? He said it as if he was seeking death.
There was a lot of noise outside, and Shen Yang leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest, naturally isolating himself from the noise outside.
After being in high positions for too long, these people have problems with their brains.
To silence someone, all you need to do is find the person who framed them and kill him as a warning to the rest. Si Xu doesn't have the time to deal with everyone here.
Even if I have to die, it will start with the Shen family.
But with them chattering like this, there's no guarantee that Si Xu will just pick someone to twist his hair if he's in a bad mood.
You're asking for trouble, a bunch of idiots.
The longer Si Xu was away, the more uneasy Shen Lang felt.
The old man gripped his cane tightly, his palms sweating.
He gave Xie Chengzhi instructions, asking him to lead the people from Group Z to guard outside and rush in immediately if there was any change.
It's now the second half of the night, why can't I see any signal from Xie Chengzhi?
Did something unexpected happen?
"Old man." Noticing the old man's anxiety, Zheng Li held his arm and whispered soothingly, "Don't worry, sit down and rest for a while."
The old man sighed and sat down opposite Shen Yang.
Dissatisfied with the younger generation's attitude of staying out of the matter, the old man coughed and said lightly: "Ayang, what are your plans?"
Shen Yang opened his eyes: "No plan - I'm just thinking about what to do to prevent the Shen family from following the same path as the Yu family."
