Chapter 118 Wheel of Fortune
Lan Ze lowered his head, his dark blue hair covering his eyebrows. The sunlight came through the glass roof of the greenhouse and hit Lan Ze's back, but he felt as if he was falling into an icy cave.
His voice became very hoarse: "I just said what I saw with my foresight. If he really loved you that much, how could he abandon you and leave without considering your feelings? If he really loved you, he wouldn't test your feelings for him!"
He raised his head, his eyes were red like a rabbit, and for the first time there was something other than emptiness in his eyes, but that content was too complicated.
Lan Ze suppressed his tears and said to her excitedly: "Sui Sui, he doesn't know how to love someone at all. His love is too sharp and will hurt you!"
Qiao Suisui suddenly felt a dull pain in her chest, like the feeling of being betrayed while someone kept saying they were doing it for her own good. He had exposed his identity, which indirectly prevented her from attending school, thrust her into the spotlight, and might even affect her sense of belonging and freedom.
"What about you?" She looked at him and asked calmly, "You know everything, but you still chose to point your sword at me?"
She looked at Lan Ze in front of her and suddenly felt that he became so strange.
Hearing this, Lan Ze's face turned pale. He moved his lips, but no words came out. His figure swayed like a candle in the wind, as if he was hanging on by a thread.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He murmured softly and wanted to reach out to pull her, but Qiao Susu took a step back and avoided his touch.
Lan Ze seemed to be nailed to the spot, his heart broken.
"So what did you see with your foresight?" asked Qiao Susu.
"Your first spouse is the son of the rebel leader, you don't want him." He wanted to tell you not to get close to him, but then he remembered that Qiao Suisui must be extremely disgusted by him at this moment, so what qualifications and position did he have to say such a thing? Lan Ze smiled sadly at himself.
"You mean Bi?"
"His original name was Anubis Connor. He will die by the sword, his flesh ripped from his bones."
Qiao Suisui's pupils shrank suddenly, her fingertips trembled slightly, and she frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"
Lan Ze nodded. "I saw it in the footage, but I don't know the whole story, just some scattered fragments."
It took Qiao Susu a long time to catch her breath. Her heartbeat almost broke through her eardrums, and her eyes were full of helplessness and panic.
She walked past Lan Ze in a trance and walked out. Their figures intersected. When she walked past him, Lan Ze stretched out his trembling hand to keep her, but he only touched a ribbon of her skirt. The moment the satin texture slipped from his hand, Lan Ze seemed to have lost all his strength.
He closed his eyes in pain, and the tears he had been holding back finally slid down his cheeks.
"Sui Sui!"
He called her, but didn't dare to look back.
Lan Ze asked with a broken voice: "Can we still be friends?"
Qiao Susu did not answer. Her thoughts were too confused. After a brief pause, she walked away again.
After she returned to the palace, she locked herself up and refused to be disturbed by anyone.
Everything made sense now. Zong Fang's unusual attitude that night, and why he seriously injured Anubis, was because he was too proud. He couldn't tell Lan Ze's prophecy to her in person. Lan Ze took this step because he had calculated this point in his character.
But when Qiao Suisui thought about Bi's fate, she felt breathless. Her hands unconsciously clutched the hem of her skirt and she muttered to herself, "I have to do something. I can definitely do something to change this."
She forced herself to calm herself, gathering her thoughts. When she opened her eyes again, the panic had vanished. She called Zongfang first, but lost her patience amidst the constant stream of missed calls. She took a flying ship with a team of guards back to the small building. She planned to go to Sote after getting the ring.
Sang Yan heard footsteps coming from the stairs and came out of the room. Sure enough, he saw Qiao Sui Sui hurrying down the stairs. The two of them, one on the stairs and the other at the bottom, suddenly looked at each other. Qiao Sui Sui remembered the awkwardness of the last time they had hot pot. In addition, they hadn't seen each other recently, so they seemed a little unfamiliar for a moment.
Sang Yan's eyes moved back and forth across her face, and he was the first to speak: "Why have you lost weight?"
Qiao Susu was stunned, then responded with "hmm" and "ah". She didn't know what to say. Plus, she had something on her mind, so she seemed very perfunctory.
Sang Yan was very perceptive, but he didn't point it out. He just took two steps back and cleared the path at the staircase. He thought about it and asked out of concern, "Are you okay? I heard about Zong Fang's situation. Do you need any help?"
"What?"
Seeing that she seemed unaware of the situation, Sang Yan immediately thought that the two men had not intended to tell her, and realized that he had said the wrong thing.
But it was too late. Qiao Suisui was already nervous and even more sensitive. She asked, "What happened to Zong Fang?"
"The Simon family case caused a lot of controversy a while ago. Now that the Federation has issued a notice, he should be executed soon."
22 lives. Even if he is a genius in scientific research and has made great contributions, it is not enough for the Federation to set a precedent for him. Moreover, the pressure from public opinion is so great now that the law must be enforced impartially.
Hearing this, Qiao Susu's legs went limp, and Sang Yan quickly supported her.
"What execution?"
Sang Yan had a look of reluctance on his face. Looking at her pale little face, he now understood why the two men chose to hide it from her.
"death penalty."
Qiao Suisui closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling. Sang Yan looked at the frail person in his arms, a trace of self-blame between his brows.
"Don't worry, let's work together and there will always be a solution."
She held the ring in her palm, with huge waves in her eyes.
"There is a way." Qiao Susu said softly.
"I disagree."
late at night.
In the small building, Liberi stood in the living room with a serious expression. For the first time, he spoke harshly to Qiao Suisui, "He murdered the person in the first place. He thought about the consequences when he did it. And you didn't ask him to do it. Why do you have to show up in public and clean up his mess now?"
Qiao Suisui looked at him calmly and said, "I'm just testifying to let everyone know that it was Simon who planned to kill me first. This can at least change public opinion and maybe save Zongfang's life."
"Anyway, I don't agree." Liberi turned away angrily.
Luka, who had been silent since entering, spoke calmly, "The principle of the Federal Court is transparency and openness, and all trials are live-broadcast. Testifying means not only revealing your ancient human identity, but also your appearance and voice. Your future life will be greatly affected, and you may no longer be able to go to school, including your personal freedom. Sui Sui, have you really thought this through?"
