Chapter 177 There's Always a Scoundrel Trying to Harm Me
Director Wang used every means at his disposal to secretly replace the people monitoring the laboratory with his own.
This allowed Xiaojuan and her daughter to gradually fade out of the laboratory's surveillance.
Just three years ago, taking advantage of an accident in the laboratory.
The best experimental subject escaped, and in the chaos, Director Wang ordered the destruction of the data in Xiao Juan's laboratory.
Xiao Juan has fully reintegrated into society and regained her freedom.
He then used his connections to orchestrate a fire.
They completely eliminated Xiaojuan and her daughter from the organization's sight.
Director Wang leaned against the ground, looked at Zhou Ran, and could still manage a smile.
"I owe my success to you. If you hadn't caused such a ruckus in the lab, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to plant people and process the data."
Zhou Ran frowned; he had no recollection of what happened three years ago.
He was certain that he had memories of his childhood and the memories of being found and returned to the Zhou family.
The only thing missing was the three-year-long disturbance at the base that Director Wang had mentioned.
Zhou Ran wasn't worried that Director Wang would lie to him.
He'd already revealed his hand; Director Wang wouldn't lie to him about something like this.
If he wasn't being lied to, then there's something wrong with his memory.
The answer to all of this is probably related to that laboratory; I should really go and take a look when I have time.
But that's for later. He's more interested in knowing who that person is.
Who is that person?
"I don't know, I just know that he has a very high status in that laboratory, and sometimes when he disagrees with the boss, he listens to him."
Zhou Ran was very dissatisfied with Director Wang's answer.
This person, being such a lackey, couldn't possibly be completely unaware of anything.
Director Wang hurriedly added.
"I don't know his full name, but I heard people at the base call him 'Master Leng' before. I don't know which part of his name he is."
As he spoke, he took out his phone from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Ran.
"This is evidence of what I've done over the years. I thought I'd never need it before I died, but I didn't expect to use it so soon."
Director Wang knelt down and solemnly kowtowed to Zhou Ran.
"I only beg you to spare Xiaojuan and her daughter. They haven't done anything wrong. Their lives have been too hard, and they shouldn't have to suffer in their later years."
Director Wang kowtowed so earnestly that the middle of his forehead immediately became red and swollen.
Those around who heard the truth couldn't help but show their reluctance.
Director Wang is a damn bastard; even the most hateful person has a pitiable side.
If it weren't for those people who bullied others back then.
They hurt Xiaojuan and ruined her family's lives.
Perhaps things would be different.
Xiao Juan may have already been admitted to her desired medical university and become a doctor who saves lives.
Director Wang's mentor enjoyed a peaceful old age.
Director Wang may become a master chef and own his own noodle shop.
They will all get married, have a loving family, and have a child they love.
There may be petty arguments, and there may be worries about the pressures of life.
But they will live a happy and peaceful life, unlike this.
To avoid burdening his adopted son, Director Wang's mentor committed suicide by jumping off a building.
Xiaojuan suffered from nightmares due to bullying, became depressed and self-harmed multiple times, and finally chose to commit suicide.
Later, he was used as a test subject, his past was forgotten, and he was monitored and exploited.
Director Wang will not become a notorious pimp.
He moved among various powerful and influential people, becoming the very person he once despised.
Zhou Ran watched coldly and indifferently, her face and eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
It's like listening to a boring story.
After seeing Zhou Ran like this, President Zhao then looked at Zhou Chao.
Zhou Chao is such a cold-hearted friend!
"I know I'll be punished and die a horrible death. It's all my fault, it has nothing to do with anyone else. Please, please!!"
Director Wang had heard far too many curses, and he screamed hysterically.
May he suffer a terrible death.
He knew he deserved a good death.
"What does this have to do with me? That's your business."
"ah?!"
Director Wang stood there stunned. Had he been knocked unconscious? What had Zhou Ran just said?
Everyone else was taken aback by this turn of events.
Wasn't Zhou Ran here to uphold justice?
How can it have nothing to do with him?
Was he planning to kill him to silence him?
Clearly, Director Wang had also thought of this.
He lunged forward, trying to grab Zhou Ran's trouser leg.
"Please, kill me, but don't hurt Xiaojuan and the others! They are victims too!"
Zhou Ran lifted her leg to avoid Director Wang, then placed it on Zhou Chao's thigh and looked up at him.
Zhou Chao received the signal and resignedly reached out to massage his calves.
"Be gentle, are you trying to strangle me?"
"I've never done any of these things..."
Zhou Chao felt slighted and muttered something under his breath, feeling a little aggrieved.
He, a powerful CEO, was groomed as an heir from birth.
The training focused on management and personnel management.
I've never learned how to serve people or give massages!
"You're useless. What's the point of having you? Go back and learn from your master. You might come in handy if you ever go bankrupt."
"If I go bankrupt, won't you go bankrupt too?"
Zhou Chao muttered under his breath, "Does Zhou Ran have any self-awareness as the largest shareholder of the Zhou family?"
"How dare you! I need to rely on that makeshift team of the Zhou family. I'd starve to death if I depended on you for a living."
What can Zhou's meager dividends do? Does he really think he can't live without Zhou?
It was just trash I picked up when I was bored.
Even the smallest mosquito leg is still meat.
Giving money to others only leads to them taking it and causing you distress.
It's better to take it back and benefit ourselves.
"Yes, yes, I was wrong, Young Master Zhou!"
Zhou Chao thought of the Xia family, nodded and apologized, and the Xia family matriarch was indeed not short of his meager earnings.
He went back and sought out a master to learn massage.
What if this little devil gets into a bad mood one day and really bankrupts him?
He has a skill to rely on, which allows him to make a living.
Mr. Zhao, on the other hand, was not so enlightened. He watched Zhou Ran and Zhou Chao's interaction in shock.
Could he have guessed wrong? This isn't some illegitimate child, but a mistress kept in a gilded cage?
I recalled the rumors that the Zhou Dynasty did not associate with women.
Don't mention someone you're having an ambiguous relationship with.
There haven't been a single female animal around for so many years.
Even the assistants are all men.
Many people question his sexual orientation.
However, this person did not have any close male friends or relatives.
She has not been involved in any romantic relationships with men.
Over time, people started saying he was no good.
It seems that it wasn't that the Zhou Dynasty was incompetent, but rather that this kid was very good at hiding his true intentions.
He stole a glance at Zhou Ran's face.
No wonder she was able to be kept in a golden house by the Zhou Dynasty; she was so well protected. She was really beautiful.
Most importantly, she is both innocent and seductive, intelligent, ruthless, and a little arrogant.
Everyone would like this kind of exquisite item.
"What kind of look is that? Look at me again and I'll gouge your eyes out!"
Zhou Ran looked down at her phone, feeling Zhao's gaze, and warned him.
Mr. Zhao quickly looked away, suppressing his wandering thoughts.
He had just witnessed this man's methods; the knife-wielding man showed no mercy, and he couldn't afford to provoke him.
Zhou Ran shoved her phone in front of Director Wang.
"Take a good look, is this the person?"
Director Wang shifted his head back; the phone was too close for him to see clearly.
The photo was clearly taken from surveillance footage.
Only the profile was clearly visible. Director Wang examined it closely and found it somewhat similar, but he was not entirely sure.
He nodded firmly when he saw the man's arm.
"Yes, it's him. I recognize this tattoo. He's that Leng Ye."
"Tattoo".
Zhou Ran zoomed in on the photo and saw the tattoo on his arm. It looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.
"That son of a bitch, always causing me trouble. I'll cause you some trouble too."
Zhou Ran dialed the phone.
Qiu Dun answered the phone excitedly.
"Boss, is it my turn to work?"
"Yes, get to work, the bigger the commotion, the better!"
"Alright, I know how to do this one!"
Qiu Dun excitedly hung up the phone and rushed out to call people to get things done.
Zhou Ran stretched and took care of something.
"Massage the other leg too."
Zhou Chao obediently pressed down on the other leg.
"Everyone stand up, get back to what you were doing, and keep drinking, singing, and dancing!"
"ah?"
One person's voice wasn't loud, but the collective gasp of surprise from the group was quite loud.
Nobody understood. Weren't we supposed to be catching bad guys?
Why did they continue? Have they stopped arresting people?
Shouldn't we call the police?
If we don't call the police, shouldn't we call an ambulance?
Mr. Hu was still dizzy on the sofa, and blood was still flowing from his head.
Director Wang still has a bloody hole on his palm.
Guan Yi was so scared that he wet his pants.
They were so frightened that their legs went weak and they couldn't stand up.
Is that all?
The ending was somewhat sudden and surreal.
"What's wrong?"
Mr. Zhao reacted the fastest, putting on a bright smile.
"No problem, no problem, let's keep drinking and dancing!"
When the others saw that General Manager Zhao had started, they hurriedly followed suit.
The quiet private room instantly returned to its usual lively atmosphere, as if nothing had happened.
Sing if you're supposed to sing, dance if you're supposed to dance, drink if you're supposed to drink.
If it weren't for the singers singing off-key and the dancers unable to lift their legs...
He hadn't drunk a drop of alcohol all day.
Everyone's hands and feet were trembling.
There is really no difference from usual.
Zhou Chao continued to massage attentively.
Mr. Zhao poured wine for Zhou Ran and served it to her.
Zhou Ran took a sip of wine.
"Ah, this is life!"
Zhou Chao leaned close to Zhou Ran's ear.
What are your plans for later?
"I'll go home with you!"
"Huh? You want to come home with me?"
Zhou Chao screamed. He knew that Zhou Ran was a difficult person to deal with.
"What are you yelling for? Can't I go home with you?"
"Yes, of course you can, absolutely."
Zhou Chao nodded quickly. The Zhou family's old house was under Zhou Ran's name.
He had no right to stop Zhou Ran from going home.
The Zhou Dynasty was a bit awkward.
Zhou Ran returned three years ago and went back to the Zhou family's old house once.
I haven't been back even once since.
Why do you suddenly want to go back?
Is there something to do? Or is someone to clean up?
"Don't look at me like that. Just be your tool."
"Uh-huh."
After joking around for a while, Zhou Ran took the initiative to pat Zhou Chao on the shoulder.
"Let's go home!"
"good."
Zhou Chao obediently said goodbye to General Manager Zhao and got up to pull Zhou Ran away.
Zhou Ran leaned back on the sofa, her cheeks slightly flushed and her eyes glazed over from drinking too much.
Seeing Zhou Chao's outstretched hand, she smiled innocently and adorably.
When Zhou Chao saw Zhou Ran like this, all his resentment vanished instantly.
How could he possibly hold a grudge against such an adorable younger brother?
Zhou Ran is just a little willful, a little arrogant, and has a little bad temper.
He suffered outside at such a young age, without anyone to guide him, so it's normal for him to have a bad temper.
Zhou Chao had no idea he was about to develop a brother-complex mentality. 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.
