Although Dean Wang did not approve of his daughter's actions, he still found Li Churan after Wang Siyuan made a scene with tears, tantrums, and threats of suicide.
From the moment he saw this young man, he knew that this young man was no ordinary person.
His attire was simple yet elegant, his demeanor calm and composed, and his words neither humble nor arrogant, all of which demonstrated his inner strength.
Beneath his handsome appearance, a burning ambition flickers in his resolute eyes, like a star gleaming faintly in the darkness.
He secretly admired his daughter's good taste this time, which was much better than that unknown trainee she had previously chosen. But the more discerning a person is, the more difficult they are to deal with.
"Chu Ran, I've come to see you this time because of Si Yuan's matter!" Dean Wang said bluntly.
“I’ve spoiled my daughter Siyuan since she was little. She has to get whatever she wants. She’s threatening to kill herself right now. She’s my only daughter. Without her, my life is meaningless. Chu Ran, can I beg you to help Siyuan?”
Dean Wang spoke with pleading words, but the arrogance in his voice was impossible to conceal.
Things, things you've taken a fancy to—isn't that just treating them as objects, no different from anything else?
It was as if he were a commodity that could be ordered around and used at will, devoid of any emotion or warmth. These words deeply stung Li Churan's sensitive pride.
He loathed this feeling, this feeling of not being able to control his own destiny.
Just like more than ten years ago, after his father jumped off a building, his mother couldn't accept it and left home.
He knelt alone before his father's coffin, while relatives, in an attempt to force them to repay the debt, vandalized the funeral hall in public.
He desperately protected his father's coffin, screaming and pleading, struggling with all his might.
But even the strongest fists can't fight off a multitude of hands, and the father's coffin was still overturned by the angry relatives.
The disfigured corpse rolled awkwardly on the ground, its wide-open eyes staring intently at him.
The once-respectable father ended this farce in such a pathetic way.
He would never forget that feeling of powerlessness, that feeling of being unable to control his own destiny.
Li Churan remained expressionless, because he knew he couldn't afford to offend Dean Wang right now.
"Dean Wang, I am very grateful for Miss Siyuan's kindness, but I cannot accept her offer because I already have someone I love and I dare not disappoint her. Please understand!"
No matter how much Dean Wang pleaded, Li Churan politely and firmly refused.
If Li Churan were his direct subordinate, Dean Wang could have used his power to force him to submit, but he was not. In such turbulent times, Dean Wang did not dare to be too domineering.
This matter is not going to remain at a stalemate.
Wang Siyuan still dressed up every day to go see Li Churan, but Li Churan remained indifferent.
In the busiest commercial street in country H, Wang Siyuan, wearing a low-cut halter dress, is chatting with her best friend.
"Ugh! I've been so proactive, why hasn't he shown any interest at all?" Wang Siyuan pouted and complained.
"Siyuan, men, what man doesn't stray! Why don't you..." The young woman sitting next to her leaned closer and whispered a few words in her ear.
"How could I not? You have no idea. Last time I went to his room... I was dressed like that, but he didn't even lift his eyelids." Li Churan gave Wang Siyuan a sense of defeat she had never experienced before. Li Churan had become an obsession for her.
"Siyuan, don't worry. Relationships take time and depend on fate. Don't worry, when the time is right, things will definitely change!" Wang Siyuan's best friend comforted her.
"Really? I hope so!" Wang Siyuan said with some melancholy.
At this moment, Wang Siyuan had no idea that this conversation would become a self-fulfilling prophecy, and that a turning point was coming soon.
Because the zombie outbreak in the Federation's homeland has finally occurred.
In fact, as early as two weeks ago, the task force sent to the northern part of the Federation to transport supplies had already encountered zombies one after another.
However, at that time, all they encountered were single zombies that had awakened prematurely, so the news was suppressed.
Since the temperature dropped above 0 degrees Celsius three days ago, zombies have begun to awaken in large numbers.
Almost overnight, the entire execution team that failed to evacuate in time was wiped out.
Meanwhile, things were also turbulent in H country. After temperatures began to rise continuously in the Federation's territory, many powerful figures staked their influence on the mainland, especially in the north, the former economic and political center, which became their new target for conquest.
This sudden outbreak of zombies has caused heavy losses to several factions, and the remaining factions are eyeing the spoils, ready to carve up their remaining forces at any moment.
Under such circumstances, things were quite turbulent in H country.
"Chu Ran! Well done!" Liu Anquan patted Li Chu Ran on the shoulder approvingly.
Last time, thanks to Li Churan's suggestion, he hardly sent any of his subordinates to the mainland. Instead, he focused on building up his influence in H country and seized the opportunity to become the biggest beneficiary of this crisis.
"These are all your decisions; we are just following your lead," Li Churan said humbly.
"Hahaha! Chu Ran! Do a good job! Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly!" Liu Anquan was very satisfied with Li Chu Ran's answer. He had mixed feelings about this extremely intelligent subordinate. On the one hand, he admired him, but on the other hand, he was afraid that he would not be able to control him.
