Chapter 294, Acting
That man maintained a heart as pure and clean as a teenager until his death. If he saw his sister's current state, would he be sad?
Si Nian sneered: "Huo Zhiju, are you showing off to me? Look, Si Yue is obviously my biological brother, but until his death, the person he couldn't let go of in his heart was you."
"Si Nian, this isn't something I should brag about." Speaking of her deceased lover, Huo Zhigui revealed a happy expression, "Because this is how it should be for us."
I can’t bear to see a woman’s expression like this, the happiness and satisfaction overflowing from her eyes… It’s very similar to Shen Muxin who snatched Jiang Yize away.
No matter who it is, as long as they show such an expression, she wants to break her self-righteous and illusory shell, watch her hysteria, watch her pain and despair!
Thinking of something, Si Nian raised her lips and chuckled: "I'll have someone send a message to Jiang Ran. I believe she will be here soon."
Speaking of Jiang Ran, Huo Zhigui seemed to be thinking: "Your target is Ranran? What do you want to get?"
Si Nian turned around and looked at her, his eyes revealing an excitement that was hard to conceal. "I asked her to exchange the reagent in her hand and Yize's ashes for you, Huo Zhiju. Do you think she would agree?"
Why should she exchange? She has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't need to pay anything for a stranger.
Huo Zhiju smiled gently: "I hope she doesn't come."
How could she still smile so calmly? This woman, was it with this fake smile that she had bewitched her brother?
Si Nian snorted coldly: "If she doesn't come, you will be in trouble, Huo Zhijue."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, a familiar female voice came from the tower: "Si Nian! I'm here!"
"Oh?" Si Nian smiled with interest, pulled Huo Zhijue up from the ground, and walked to the side of the tower. "Look, she's here."
Huo Zhiju looked in the direction of the voice.
The watchtower was more than five meters higher than the city wall. The girl was standing on the wall, looking up at where they were.
Her frail figure stood in the howling wind. Although she was alone, she exuded the aura of an army of thousands.
"Si Nian." Looking at Jiang Ran like this, Huo Zhijue thought of someone, "Look at Ranran, doesn't she look like big brother?"
The big brother she was referring to was naturally Jiang Yize.
Pinching her hand tighter, Si Nian sneered, “What qualifications does Shen Muxin’s daughter have to be like Yize?”
"She is Sister Mu Xin's daughter, and also Big Brother's daughter." Huo Zhigui said the most hurtful words in a calm tone, "She has the best qualities of both of them. I think Big Brother must have been very relieved when he saw Ranran before he died."
"Shut up!" Not wanting Jiang Yize to be associated with that woman, Si Nian grabbed Huo Zhiju's neck and said angrily, "If it weren't for this little bitch, how could Yize die?!"
“…”
"I managed to hide it from Shen Lang and rescue Yize from the lab. You know, he was already beyond saving at that time. If I hadn't modified his body, how could he have lived for so many years?" The woman said excitedly, "The person I wanted to protect was killed by this little bitch and your son! You still have the nerve to mention his name!"
Being strangled to the point of being unable to breathe, Huo Zhigui did not struggle: "You really are... hopeless..."
He denounced Jiang Yize to Shen Lang, tricked Shen Lang into killing him, and then took the seriously injured Jiang Yize from the laboratory to Dongchao to be transformed into a mutant...
Because of her, Jiang Yize struggled for so many years in a dark underground laboratory, neither alive nor dead. She actually insisted that she did all this because she loved him?
This person is rotten from the inside out.
Not knowing what Huo Zhijue had said to make Si Nian so agitated, Jiang Ran was worried that she might hurt Huo Zhijue, so she shouted, "Si Nian! I'm already here. If you want something, come to me! Don't hurt anyone else!"
Jiang Ran's voice successfully attracted Si Nian to look at her.
The latter temporarily shifted her attention away from the hostage in her hand. She looked at the girl on the wall with a look of disgust: "You arrange for someone to bring the reagents and Yize's ashes up to me."
"I don't have anyone." Jiang Ran opened his arms. "You see, I came here alone. If you need the reagents, I can send them to you."
"Jiang Ran, do you think I'm stupid?" The woman had suffered at her hands before, so she was wary of her. "I know you have people ambushing under the city wall. Tell them to bring the things up to me, or I'll throw Huo Zhigui down!"
Jiang Ran: “…”
A group of people hiding at the corner of the city wall: "..."
Huo Lingyin tugged at Pei Xiao's sleeve and whispered, "Since we've been discovered, how about I go and deliver the things?"
Pei Xiao was about to speak when Jiang Ran spoke again from the wall, "Si Nian, I don't understand. Even if I offer you the reagent in exchange for Madam Pei, how will you leave the Dongchao base? This is the Pei family's domain. You kidnapped the Pei family's mistress. You don't think Commander Pei will let you leave safely, do you?"
Pei Xiao understood Jiang Ran's intention and stopped Huo Lingyin who was about to stand up: "Wait, Jiang Ran has other plans."
Not noticing the probing tone in the girl's words, Si Nian smirked: "I can come and go freely in Beichen Base. What makes you think a small Pei family can hold me back?"
A cunning look flashed in Jiang Ran's eyes, and he seemed to be thinking: "Oh, it seems that you brought all your experimental subjects this time?"
"Hmph." Since things had come to this, the woman simply whistled, and eight shadows appeared from various corners of the Dongchao base and ran towards the watchtower.
Soon, the transformed body arrived at the bottom of the watchtower, ignored the psychics below the tower, and jumped directly onto the tower.
"This is..." Looking at those strange-looking mutants, Jiang Ran thought of the missing Huo Xuan, "Did you also turn Huo Xuan into this?"
"Haha, you finally thought of it." The woman laughed complacently. "They are all my slaves, transformed by my hands, and only obey my weapons... I heard that Si Xu was driven away by you. Jiang Ran, look at these masterpieces of mine. What qualifications do you think you have to negotiate with me? Hahahahahaha!"
After learning from Xiao Lai that Si Xu had left the Dongchao base, she specifically checked the surveillance video placed in the underground laboratory to monitor Jiang Yize, and confirmed that the two had indeed quarreled after Jiang Yize's death.
With the video evidence, she no longer doubted the news that the two had parted ways, otherwise she would not have agreed to let Qin Huai return to Yancheng Base.
Without Si Xu, no matter how many psychics there are in the Dongchao base, they are no match for these mutants.
Now, if she wanted to, she could just destroy the base.
Jiang Ranran, that idiot, actually got into a fight with Si Xu at this time... idiot! Hahahaha!
Before she finished laughing, the mutants standing around her like guardian angels twitched twice and fell straight to the ground. Their bodies, frozen into ice, smashed eight large holes in the concrete floor.
Si Nian hadn't reacted to what was happening yet: "What's going on? You guys..."
Jiang Ran curled his lips and muttered, "Oh my, that was a terrible fall."
“…”
The young psychic walked out from the corner, jumped onto the city wall lightly, and landed next to the girl.
The wind lifted the hem of his shirt, dispelling some of the chill from his body.
"You guessed right again."
He glanced at Si Nian, who was speechless with shock. As the woman stared at him in disbelief, he raised his hand and touched the top of the girl's head. A gentle smile flashed in his peach blossom eyes: "She only dared to show up openly when I wasn't around."
