Chapter 202 An Irresistible Pledge of Allegiance
Courtyard No. 1, in the living room.
When Su Wantang returned, she saw Lu Jingyan leaning against the sofa with a drawing spread out on his lap. As if he heard the door lock click softly, he immediately looked up.
The man stood up, naturally took the coat she had taken off, hung it on the coat rack, and then went to the kitchen to pour a glass of warm water and put it into her cold hands.
Just then, Wang Ma came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of freshly stewed white fungus soup and placed it in front of Su Wantang with a smile: "Miss, you've been busy all day. Drink some while it's hot to soothe your throat."
"Thank you, Aunt Wang." Su Wantang smiled at her, her eyes crinkling, her sharp exterior gone, and she returned to her gentle and soft demeanor.
After Wang Ma returned to her room, Su Wantang leaned on Lu Jingyan's shoulder and whispered about serious business: "I want to see Jiang Fan tomorrow."
"Have you thought it through?" Lu Jingyan turned his head to look at her.
"I've thought it through."
"This thoroughbred horse can only be used by me through hatred. I will give him a 'pledge of allegiance' that he cannot refuse."
Lu Jingyan didn't ask any more questions, but simply pulled her closer into his arms.
As night deepened, the bedroom lights went out.
Under the covers, the man's burning hot body pressed against her. Su Wantang felt like a small boat being swept into scorching waves, clinging to him and letting him carry her up and down.
Breathing mingled, and sweat soaked their temples.
...
The next day, at Kyoto University.
After class, the students left the classroom in twos and threes.
Lu Jingyan tidied up the lesson plan on the podium and said to Jiang Fan in the corner, "Jiang Fan, come with me for a moment."
Jiang Fan raised his head, his eyes filled with a hint of arrogance and confusion, but he still stood up and followed behind Lu Jingyan.
The two walked one after the other through the tree-lined path and arrived at a secluded grove.
Lu Jingyan stopped, glanced back at him, said nothing, and turned to leave along another path.
Jiang Fan frowned, feeling puzzled, when a clear, cold female voice sounded from behind him.
"Hello, Jiang Fan."
He turned around abruptly and saw a woman in a red dress standing not far away, quietly watching him. The woman was beautiful, her almond-shaped eyes clearly holding a smile.
Jiang Fan's vigilance instantly spiked, his body tensing instinctively. He asked, "Who are you? What do you want with me?"
Bai Shu did not answer his question, but simply walked towards him.
Holding a brown paper document bag in her hand, she walked calmly and stopped three steps away from Jiang Fan. Without saying a word, she handed him the document bag.
"Take a look at this."
Jiang Fan looked impatient and made no attempt to take it. "I'm not interested in playing guessing games. Just say what you have to say, or shut up."
Bai Shu wasn't annoyed. He simply opened the file bag, pulled out a thin report, and held it up in front of him.
"Jiang Feng, female, sixteen years old, blood type Rh-negative AB. Three years ago, she died of acute organ failure due to the failure of 'experimental treatment'..."
Upon hearing his sister's name, Jiang Fan's disdain and mockery froze instantly. His pupils contracted sharply as he stared intently at the report.
Bai Shu stuffed the entire file into his arms.
"Everything you want to know is in here."
Jiang Fan's body stiffened, and after a full half minute, his trembling hand slowly lifted and turned to the first page of the file.
The files contained no superfluous text, only cold, hard records.
The duration and amount of blood drawn each time increased from 20 at the beginning to 40 later, and then to a shocking 60 for the last time!
Attached below are a series of lab reports, showing how my sister's various health indicators gradually deteriorated until she finally collapsed completely.
They treated his cheerful, playful sister, who always followed him around calling him "brother," as a living blood bank that they could use at will!
Jiang Fan's breathing became heavy. He continued to flip through the pages; the next page contained his parents' car accident report.
A forged on-site investigation report, a tampered brake failure assessment, and even a bank transfer record bribing a truck driver... Every word, every record, was like a red-hot branding iron, branding his heart with pain.
It turns out that everything they experienced was not an accident!
"Heh...heh..."
Jiang Fan tried to shout, but no sound came out.
The pain, regret, anger, and resentment that had been building up for three whole years erupted like a volcano at this moment.
This genius, who was always arrogant and prickly in front of the entire school, could no longer hold on. He slowly squatted down, clutching the file, and buried his head deeply in his knees.
The weeping was tinged with suppressed, heart-wrenching cries.
Bai Shu stood there quietly, watching him coldly, without offering any comfort.
When dealing with a proud, solitary wolf, sympathy is the least effective thing. Only by making him see the cruelty of reality and drive him to utter despair can you shatter all his pride and make him willingly serve you.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Fan slowly raised his head. His handsome face was completely bloodless, and his bloodshot eyes were fixed on Bai Shu.
"Who...who are you? Why do you have these things?"
"Who I am is unimportant." Bai Shu's voice remained cold and devoid of any emotion.
"The important thing is that I know who our enemies are. They are strong enough to easily erase any trace of your parents and sister's existence, strong enough to prevent you from even touching the slightest bit of the truth for the past three years."
"You, a kid who only knows how to hide in school and complain about everything, even if you have another thirty years, you won't be able to get revenge."
Bai Shu slowly extended his hand to him and said, "But if you follow me, I can give you a chance."
"Join Haitang Technology, and use your brain to become the sharpest weapon in my hand. I will lead you to personally send those scum who killed your family, one by one, to hell!"
Jiang Fan looked up, staring blankly at her.
In this woman's eyes, he saw a hatred deeper than his own; he knew she wasn't lying.
silence.
A deathly silence.
The wind blew through the woods, swirling up fallen leaves.
After a long while, Jiang Fan slowly knelt on one knee and lowered his proud head, which he had never bowed to anyone before.
"I...am willing."
Those three words took all his strength.
From today onwards, Beijing University will no longer have that rebellious "troublemaker" Jiang Fan.
There is only one weapon, born for revenge.
Bai Shu helped him up, and a look of satisfaction finally appeared on her face.
“Very good. Now, you have your first task.” She handed him a slip of paper.
“That agent codenamed ‘The Tailor’ is very interested in our upcoming ‘Bone-Healing Ointment.’ I need you to design a ‘bait’ based on this core formula.”
"A 'bait' that makes him think he can succeed, but the moment he bites the hook, he is torn off bone and flesh."
Jiang Rifan took the slip of paper and looked at the molecular formula, which was like a foreign language to him, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"I don't know anything about medicine."
"You don't need to understand." A cold smile curled at the corner of Bai Shu's lips.
"All you need to do is use your knowledge of physics to design a sufficiently sophisticated 'Trojan horse' and hide it in this formula. I want this 'Trojan horse' to transform into the most deadly virus under specific conditions."
