Chapter 285, Mysterious Laboratory
She first discovered that something was wrong with the woman when Jiang Yize formally introduced Shen Muxin to them.
"Ayue, this is my girlfriend, Chen Muxin." The usually steady boy held the girl's hand, his ears red, and his voice was as gentle as ever, "You can just call her Muxin."
Shen Muxin, the daughter of the Shen family in Xiling, they knew her identity and also knew that Jiang Yize had been pursuing her for a long time.
Her friend finally caught up with her sweetheart. She was happy for him and obediently called the girl Sister Mu Xin.
After asking, I found that my boyfriend was not moving.
She felt puzzled and tugged at his sleeve. He came back to his senses from his daze, smiled awkwardly, and changed the subject.
On the same day, she heard Si Yue and Si Nian arguing.
"That's enough, Nian Nian. Big Brother has already confirmed his relationship with Sister Mu Xin. It's time for you to let go."
"I don't want it!" The girl's voice was mixed with anger, and the unrestrained volume floated clearly into her ears. "Yize is not such a snobbish person. He is with Shen Muxin, and it must be that woman who forced him to be with her! Yes! It must be like this!"
"Forced?" Si Yue's voice was full of helplessness. "He's been pursuing Sister Mu Xin for so long, how could it be forced? Nian Nian, Big Brother doesn't like you. There's no possibility between you two. How long are you going to keep lying to yourself?"
"You're talking nonsense!" The angry voice turned into madness, "You're talking nonsense! You are my brother, why are you helping Shen Muxin? It was obviously her who snatched my lover away! It's all her fault!"
"Niannian!" Si Yue seemed angry. "If you continue like this, I will tell my eldest brother about your feelings and ask him to stay away from you in the future..."
"You dare!" Before Si Yue finished speaking, a girl's roar and a crackling sound were heard in the room, followed by Si Nian's scream.
She was startled and was about to push the door open to stop the quarrel, but the door was opened first.
Si Nian ran out of the room with his hands stained with blood.
She glanced at her, without saying hello or explaining, and simply fled the scene.
She panicked and rushed into the room, only to see her lover's face pale, one hand pressing on his arm, blood dripping from between his fingers onto the ground.
The blood-stained fruit knife fell at his feet, the blade emitting a cold light.
——That woman actually stabbed her own brother with a fruit knife because of a few words of dissuasion and accusations!
"At that time, I told Ah Yue that his sister wasn't in a good mental state. I was about to call the police, but Ah Yue stopped me." Huo Zhigui took a sip of tea and smiled bitterly. "Si Nian is their only daughter and has been spoiled since childhood. Ah Yue said she was just confused by love and would return to normal once she figured it out."
As a result, how could a woman who is crazy about love understand?
She went further and further down the path of self-intoxication, and could no longer turn back.
"...Tsk tsk." Jiang Ran sighed, "For the sake of a man, she would even stab her own brother - such a person should be thrown out to feed the zombies. The zombies will despise him. After all, there is no nutritious part of his body."
After hearing her comments, Huo Zhijue's eyes were filled with regret. "Ayue stopped me from calling the police and told my eldest brother about his injury. I thought about it over and over again, and I always felt that it would be bad not to tell my eldest brother about Si Nian's condition. After all, because of Ayue, my eldest brother has always treated Si Nian as his own sister."
Since you can't become lovers, you should withdraw before the girl falls deeper.
"Before I could even say anything, Sister Mu Xin came to me. Although she and Si Nian had never met, she already had all the information."
"Hmm?" This seems a little different from what Mr. Tu Su said. Didn't Mr. Tu Su say that his mother didn't notice Si Nian's feelings and had a good relationship with Si Nian?
"My mother knows Si Nian..."
Huo Zhijue's smile was tinged with sarcasm. "Si Nian thought she had concealed her little scheming well. Since Big Brother hadn't noticed, no one else would be able to see it either. But she didn't realize that your mother was born into a wealthy family like the Shen family, and she's seen all sorts of schemes and calculations. Her self-righteous cleverness and calculations are nothing but petty tricks that pale in comparison to your mother's."
Just because Shen Muxin didn't say anything didn't mean she was a fool who would allow others to scheme against her.
They all come from wealthy families and have the same understanding on certain things.
Shen Muxin didn't even say why she came, but she already understood what she meant.
"I don't know what your mother did. Not long after that conversation, my eldest brother agreed to study abroad with her. Since then, Si Nian has never seen my eldest brother again, until Ah Yue's accident..."
"Ah, so that's how it is."
No wonder Si Nian hated the Shen family and her so much.
In that woman's eyes, she was the product of Shen Muxin's improper means of taking her lover away, and the proof of her own failed love...
"My mother is too kind to her." Jiang Ran sneered.
In her memory, when Jiang Yize handed the information to Shen Muxin, he asked Shen Muxin to go to Dongchao City to find Si Nian - so it seems that Shen Muxin did not tell him those dirty things about Si Nian.
"Kindness to the enemy is the greatest cruelty to yourself." So Jiang Yize died, Shen Muxin also died, only Si Nian was still alive and well.
How ironic.
Jiang Ran put down the teacup, stared at the smooth surface, and whispered: "Have you and Si Nian met since my father's accident?"
Huo Zhiju shook his head: "After Ah Yue's accident, I haven't seen the Si family again."
Because of guilt and fear, her father killed her lover, who was also someone else's son, someone else's brother, and someone else's treasure.
"I'm too embarrassed to see the Si family again."
"They don't know Si Xu's existence either."
Huo Zhijue smiled bitterly: "My father could do something to A Yue, so he can do something to Si Xu as well. No one else knew about Si Xu's birth except your father."
Jiang Ran felt strange and asked, "Did my father meet Si Nian every time he came to the Dongchao base?"
Huo Zhijue spoke frankly, "I don't know—your father came to the East Dynasty base to attend a seminar, but I didn't ask where he was or what he did the rest of the time, and he never mentioned it to me."
"I see..."
…
Pushing open the heavy door and waving his hand to block the falling dust, Si Xu narrowed his eyes, glanced at the dimly lit corridor, and walked straight into the depths of the corridor through the dust.
The footsteps echoed on the corridor floor, and the smooth walls on both sides reflected the man's tall figure.
This abandoned laboratory has not been visited for a long time, but the things inside are neatly arranged except for being covered with dust, which shows that the owner of the laboratory was not in a hurry when he left.
Si Xu paused slightly, not knowing what he sensed.
At the same time, a long roar was heard from deep in the corridor.
It sounded like the roar of some kind of animal, but also like the painful groan of a human.
Chu Yuan was originally two steps behind. After hearing the sound, he quickened his pace to catch up with Si Xu and whispered, "That's the thing... I almost couldn't get out the first time I came in."
It was his first time seeing that kind of monster, and he was so shocked that he forgot to hide his whereabouts. He was discovered by the monster and was defeated after two fights. Fortunately, he had Pei Xiao's protection, otherwise he would have died there.
"According to Pei Xiao, the Pei family also doesn't know this place."
Even before the end of the world, this laboratory existed independently of the Pei family.
