Chapter 109 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada
Fang Yuan understood Song Ai's analysis.
It's absolutely impossible for Zhou Ran to suddenly do something like retaliating.
"What if it was Liu Sinian who gave the order? Or what if Zhou Ran was trying to break free from control because she cared about Xia Chenggan?"
Fang Yuan raised the possibility.
Song Ai nodded.
"That's possible. If it was Liu Sinian's order, then it definitely wouldn't be Liu Sinian who died. So we can rule out that possibility."
If it was because she cared about Xia Chenggan, then Zhou Ran should have put down the knife immediately and wouldn't have acted the following way.
"
"However, he not only broke free, but also fought back. You can clearly see that his eyes were clear and his expression changed."
This shows that he wasn't controlled when he fought back; he acted rationally.
Song Ai watched the video again.
"The behavior here is different before and after; the previous emotions have disappeared."
When Zhou Ran killed someone, he was calm, rational, and even composed.
This better matches our description of a certain type of person!
Seeing Song Ai's serious expression, Fang Yuan pressed for an answer.
Who is it?
"Antisocial personality disorder. The way he fought back was just like Zhou Ran we met on the rooftop."
Highly aggressive, unplanned behavior, lack of empathy, and poor sense of responsibility.
They are prone to crossing important ethical and legal boundaries and are extremely good at performing.
Selfishness, impulsive behavior, rule-breaking, lack of responsibility, and disrespect for others.
"you mean?"
"We encountered a psychopath; there was another person living inside him, that antisocial self."
With this conclusion, all of Zhou Ran's strange behavior became justified.
His two personalities are switching; one is a good boy, and the other is a thoroughly bad person.
So what he just said is true; he is indeed innocent, but he is also not innocent.
Fang Yuan felt a chill run down his spine, and he scratched his head.
"Damn, this is turning into a Hong Kong or Taiwan suspense drama!"
Song Ai took a deep breath; this was the first time in his career that he had encountered such a difficult person.
"Actually, I have a suspicion."
"What?"
"That's just my guess!"
"It's alright, go ahead."
Song Ai then spoke up. "I suspect that the doctor who disappeared from the hospital is related to Zhou Ran."
Why do you make this guess?
Fang Yuan's face was serious. The higher-ups were taking the doctor's disappearance very seriously and wanted to find him as soon as possible, which put a lot of pressure on them.
"If Zhou Ran really has an antisocial personality, he would see the doctor's control over him as a provocation."
Controlling Xia Chenggan was a form of plundering what was rightfully his.
He killed Liu Si Nian because he was the culprit.
However, he will not let go of the doctor and Shao Ying, who are accomplices.
A full-scale retaliation against the enemy is what he would do.
"Damn it, quickly send people to protect Shao Ying, don't let her get lost again!"
Song Ai, however, calmly said...
"You're not worried about him being lost, you're worried about him dying!"
"What's the meaning?"
Fang Yuan stared at Song Ai, not understanding why she said that.
“He didn’t kill the doctor but took him away because he was still useful. This was a well-planned and intelligent operation, and it’s clear that it wasn’t someone as impulsive as Shao Ying who was in charge.”
Without Song Ai needing to continue, Fang Yuan understood.
"The most likely scenario is that the doctor is the main culprit and Shao Ying is an accomplice, but they dare to so blatantly target the richest man, so there must be someone behind them."
"Yes, that makes sense. The doctor might be useful, but for Shao Ying, it's purely revenge."
Fang Yuan took out his phone and called to request additional manpower. Even criminals are punished by law, and no one can replace the law as the judge.
At the same time, he sent people to keep an eye on Zhou Ran, and to act immediately if Zhou Ran made any move.
The police were deployed here, and Zhou Ran discovered them immediately.
"Young Master Zhou, someone is watching us."
"Let them keep an eye on things. Let's go back to the villa. Has Xia Chenggan gone home yet?"
"No, the young master said you should eat first and not wait for him."
Zhou Ran nodded; she was indeed quite tired.
He didn't have the memories of being Zhou Ran, so he spent the whole night piecing together the events that happened to make it believable to the police.
Of course, this kind of thing that is beyond our control will only happen once, and it won't happen again.
After he finished eating, he went upstairs.
He wiped his chest area.
"Are you dead? Or are you sleeping here, waiting to retaliate? Heh, don't worry, you won't have another chance."
Zhou Ran has completely gained control of her body and can leave it at any time to take control.
He allowed himself to take Chinese medicine, allowing the drugs to induce Zhou Ran's pregnancy.
I just wanted to make the play more realistic.
He's a bad actor, and he wouldn't stoop to being a crazed sycophant.
She was willing to die for a man and endured countless grievances.
He was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist taking action, so he decided to relinquish control of his body.
Those people were able to bring me into this body.
Then they will have a way to control it.
He assumes the worst about others.
He felt that if he were in control, then there wouldn't be just one base.
Why is such a great project being done by yourself?
Of course, we should find a group of like-minded wealthy people to do it together.
At the very least, find a group of suckers to share the losses.
So there might be more than one island.
Therefore, they have more than one way of controlling people's souls.
With this premise, plus multiple encounters and understanding of the opponent.
A smart person will make use of everything that is available.
To achieve the goal at the lowest possible cost.
Among these variables, he is the best piece.
If the soul inside wasn't him, but someone else.
Suddenly, the best inside man in the Xia family's defenses was Zhou Ran, this body.
But it was he who arrived, disrupting their plans.
He got such a good position, but it was not under his control.
They will definitely try to control themselves, so drugs, hypnosis, or serious injury are all methods.
As expected, Zhou Ran guessed correctly: assassination, drugs, and hypnosis.
Every single one of them landed on him.
He allowed himself to set a trap, letting the cautious person behind him emerge, only to deliver a fatal blow.
Of course, he wasn't stupid; he wouldn't actually let himself die or be controlled by someone.
Judun is the first line of defense, and Selvis is the second.
There was also something in Qiu Jing's hand.
He will be awakened when the time for the final battle arrives.
He also gave himself a mental suggestion that he would not harm Xia Chenggan.
Since he is the most useful knife, he will definitely kill the most useful person in the end.
It was obvious without even guessing that the person was Xia Chenggan.
His first line of defense worked, but the second and third lines were useless.
When he was ordered to kill Xia Chenggan, he broke free of his cage and regained control of his body.
Everything turned around, everything ended, and the subsequent cleanup operation became simple.
As for Xia Chenggan, he's a man who's shrewder than a monkey when he gets his hands on hair.
It's likely that he was already scheming when he transferred that 10% stake in the Xia family to himself.
However, their involvement accelerated the process.
A person who is so clever that they cause headaches is a formidable opponent.
However, there is one advantage now, as he mentioned before.
All those hidden threats surfaced, and were thoroughly eliminated in one fell swoop.
It will take a long time for the person on the other side to regain their strength.
Now the people behind this won't be able to cause trouble for a long time, and they can finally catch their breath.
Of course, that's impossible. Zhou Ran is known for his vindictive nature, and he would definitely press his advantage at this moment.
The saying "Don't pursue a cornered enemy" depends on the situation.
If the opponent is of equal strength, then it is certainly wisest not to pursue a defeated enemy.
When you have an absolute advantage, especially when the opponent's strength is greatly weakened.
The right choice is to kill them all without leaving a single survivor.
However, there is a troublesome matter.
"Sir, someone is following us outside. Should we take care of it?"
The housekeeper made an internal call to inquire.
"No need, let them follow, don't worry about them."
Yes, the troublesome thing is the police outside.
This place is different from their world; it has a relatively complete legal system, social rules, and moral standards.
In his world, killing someone is commonplace.
Here, killing someone makes you an easy target.
The police will come to the door, and Zhou Ran quite likes this sense of responsibility.
At least it's much better than the police in their world, who are even more like ruthless bandits than the bandits themselves.
This kind of policeman is funny and cute.
"I'm so sorry to have caused you trouble!"
Zhou Ran smiled and looked out the window at the villa.
That's why he told Qiu Dun that he needed a team of his own, one that was ruthless and that it would be easier to let others do some of the shady stuff.
Of course, Zhou Ran was also trying to appease the two of them. He had already assembled such a team and didn't need Qiu Dun to do it, nor did he intend to involve Ning Rui.
I wonder if anyone has made any new discoveries about him.
The doctor woke up to find himself strapped to the bed.
He blinked frantically to get used to his surroundings.
He saw a handsome man walking towards his bed.
"You? It's you?"
The doctor recognized him at a glance and exclaimed in disbelief.
Struggling desperately, she cried out, "Let me go! What do you want to do? Let go of me!"
The doctor struggled desperately but could not break free of the restraints, and his struggles aggravated his wounds.
"Of course, we'll silence them!"
The man pulled out a gleaming silver scalpel.
“You know too much, and now you’ve been exposed. To protect the boss, you must die.”
The man approached amidst the doctor's horrified gaze.
"Don't worry, I'll be quick. You'll be dismembered into many pieces, your heart, your liver, and you'll find new owners."
We'll sell the rest gradually, so you can die a worthy death.
"No, I want to see the boss!"
"He won't see you. You're a loser, not worth his time."
As the man spoke, he raised a scalpel and made a cut along the vein.
"Don't worry, your blood won't be wasted; we'll make it work to its fullest potential."
The tube used for drawing blood was inserted into the ruptured blood vessel, and fresh blood flowed into the bag.
The doctor stared in horror as he struggled and screamed desperately, but no one came to his aid.
He deeply regretted escaping from the hospital.
He knew that even if he escaped from the hospital, these people wouldn't let him go. Author's Note: Thank you to my mentor 9492239 (9492239) for your support! For more exciting content, please leave a message for this book on Liancheng Reading.
