Chapter 295, Only One Choice
Why was Si Xu here? Didn't he break up with Jiang Ran and leave the East Dynasty base after their quarrel? How could a proud man like him tolerate Jiang Ran's accusations against him? He...
The woman suddenly came to her senses and angrily said, "Are you acting?!"
These words were almost squeezed out from between her teeth. Asking this question also meant that she admitted her failure this time - to give in to the enemy, especially the enemy was Shen Muxin's daughter, which was a great shame and humiliation for her.
Si Xu naturally would not answer such a boring question, but Jiang Ran was happy to answer it for her. After all, at this moment, nothing could make her feel more relieved than seeing this woman so angry.
"Yes, acting. From the moment I met my father, I was thinking about how to lure you to the East Dynasty base, then fillet you into sashimi and hang you on the city wall to feed the zombies."
Jiang Ran's tone was calm, but the hatred in his eyes instantly turned into a raging fire when he mentioned Jiang Yize.
"I know that with your perverted level, you will not leave my father alone in the laboratory, so I concluded that there are hidden cameras in the laboratory. In order to make you completely relax your vigilance, we decided to put on a show for you in front of the camera.
"You are wary of Si Xu. If Si Xu were here, you would definitely use some sinister schemes. Although I am not afraid of your methods, I don't want to waste my time with you.
"Si Nian, you're not the only one in this world who schemes against others, and not everyone will follow your ideas. Isn't the suffering you've endured at the hands of my father enough to teach you a lesson?"
Hearing her mention Jiang Yize, the woman's face twisted and she asked harshly: "What do you know?!"
"Have you been poked in the sore spot?" Jiang Ran mocked her rudely, "Si Nian, you fled the Dongchao laboratory, but my father stayed there—it's not that you left him there, but you couldn't take him away, right?"
Her light words, full of sarcasm and provocation, crushed the woman's last remaining pride.
Si Nian's already pale face turned red and soon became even paler.
Jiang Ranran guessed right.
She took great pains to rescue Jiang Yize from Xiling and bring him to Dongchao, transforming him into a mutant that could accompany her for a long time, just so that the man could stay alive and by her side forever.
She succeeded.
Because he had a lot of contact with viruses and was also engaged in experimental research, Jiang Yize quickly adapted to the viruses in his body and transformed them for his own use.
The speed at which his abilities evolved far exceeded her imagination and expectations.
So, after the experiment, she completely lost her dominance over men.
Unlike the other mutants in her hands, Jiang Yize escaped her control - after he regained consciousness, he showed strong hostility towards everyone in the laboratory, including her.
He broke into the laboratory where the vaccine was stored and refused to leave. The people there were helpless against him and could only leave him to die.
Just then, a disaster broke out and they had to evacuate urgently. The various runaway experimental subjects made the researchers overwhelmed and no one cared about Jiang Yize who was guarding the laboratory, except her.
She went to the lab and coaxed him to evacuate with her. She described to him the beautiful future she could imagine, just waiting for him to hold her hand.
That was the first and only time Jiang Yize spoke to her after waking up from the transformation experiment.
The man's entire body was burned by the fire, and his face was no longer recognizable as it once was, but his eyes were bright. Even after being eroded by the virus for many years, they retained their original clarity and tranquility - just like when she first saw them, making her dare not look directly at them.
She avoided his gaze and heard the man mutter one word in a hoarse voice: "Get lost."
She was his savior, she had placed her entire heart before him, she had rejected countless men who had shown interest in her for him, she...
She did so much, but all she got in return was a heartless "get out" from the man.
Whenever she thought of this, she could no longer conceal her twisted jealousy.
He is gentle to everyone. Even when his supernatural powers are out of control, he can still recognize the grown-up Jiang Ranran. But he... is cruel only to her.
Only to her!
Seeing the flickering light of the woman, Jiang Ran delivered a fatal blow: "My father would rather rot in the underground without seeing the sun than leave with you - Si Nian, you are so pitiful."
"Shut up!" Si Nian scolded her harshly, "Jiang Ran, you said Jiang Yize was your father and he treated you so well. What about you? What did you do? You were with the murderer who killed him..."
"You are the one who killed him!" Jiang Ran suddenly raised his voice to suppress the woman's voice.
Her voice trembled slightly, and she clenched her hands tightly at her sides: "It was you who killed my father! Si Nian, it was you who informed Shen Lang and killed my father in that explosion. It was also you who disregarded his wishes and self-righteously tried to strangle his soul - no matter how you try to argue, it was you who killed the person you called your lover with your own hands!"
"Nonsense!" The woman's lips trembled, her eyes bloodshot. "Jiang Ran, you said so much just to reassure yourself, you..."
"If I'm at ease, my father will be very happy." Jiang Ran slowed down his voice, "Si Nian, as long as I'm happy, no matter what mistakes I make, my father won't blame me."
Her words of emotion were like the sharpest arrow, completely nailing the woman to the spot.
Yes, he wouldn't blame her, so she could be arrogant because of his favor...
Seeing the little girl choking the woman speechless with a few words, Si Xu flexed his wrist and raised his hand to stop Jiang Ran behind him: "I've said what I need to say. S, do you want to get down here by yourself, or should I ask you to?"
He didn't call her by name, but by her code name.
Si Nian looked at him, at his face that looked 80% like Huo Zhijue, and smiled: "Si Xu..."
She pulled out a dagger from her waist and pressed it against the woman's back: "Si Xu, let me go, otherwise, I will kill her."
Si Xu's face was expressionless, and his tone was indifferent: "It has nothing to do with me."
Sensing the fluctuations in the air around him, Si Nian thrust his dagger forward a few inches and shouted, "I know you can stop me effortlessly—Si Xu, I've injected the same reagent into Huo Zhijue's body as Huo Xuan's. If you don't let me go, she'll become another Huo Xuan!"
The distorted space suddenly stopped.
Si Xu frowned and said nothing.
Pei Xiao's expression changed when he heard Si Nian's words. He ignored Huo Lingyin's attempts to stop him and quickly walked out from the corner: "Si Nian! Don't hurt my mother!"
He knew something about Si Xu - Huo Zhiju was just a stranger with blood ties to him, and he would not let go of Si Nian, who had finally taken the bait, just for Huo Zhiju.
If Si Nian is not let go, Huo Zhiju will become like those twisted mutants.
Pei Xiao pursed his lips and said word by word, "If you release my mother, I will let you go."
