Lei Ze couldn't explain why he chose not to tell Ye Lan. It was obvious that except for sleeping separately, they were inseparable most of the day.
Xiao Yunting did not ask any further questions, but was very indifferent to him and ignored him.
But although he often reads books and seems to be quietly observing the world, his mind is more focused on the girl.
Ye Lan is the human being he is interested in.
Driven by curiosity, he was willing to analyze everything about the girl, and naturally wanted to share it with others.
Xiao Yunting became the only and most suitable candidate.
Seeing no one responding in his consciousness, and the figure deep within his body still sitting cross-legged and cultivating, Lei Ze calmly continued, "If you don't cooperate with me, aren't you afraid that I will wipe out her existence?"
Countless experiments have proved that this trick is extremely useful.
The soul deep within the body finally stirred, and after a moment, it opened its eyes. A coldness shone in its deep eyes, but it still spoke, "Pure kindness cannot survive in this world, and malice will not disappear because of your kindness."
It will only get worse and worse.
Therefore, Ye Lan’s ability to reach his current position must be not only due to his idealism, but also due to his decisiveness and wisdom.
Seeing the love in his eyes when he mentioned the girl, Lei Ze asked curiously: "You seem to appreciate her evil side."
Why?
Shouldn’t everyone in the world fear and hate evil?
Xiao Yunting pursed his lips, not wanting to answer. However, he knew he had no choice in his current situation. Worse still, if the other party had any thoughts, it would be a long time before he could see Ye Lan again. So after a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "What I admire is not her evil, but the fact that she clearly knows that this world is a quagmire, but still firmly believes that there is a bright future."
Even though I am in a quagmire, I have not given up hope.
This is something he cannot do, and only by holding the girl's hand can he feel that there is still a little beauty in this world.
When Lei Ze heard this answer, he was stunned for a while. Finally, he lowered his eyes back to the book and looked at the long passages on benevolence, righteousness, propriety and trustworthiness, and he just felt funny.
It turns out that no matter how much is written in a book, it is not as valuable as studying a living person in front of you.
He finally understood why the girl leaning against the window opposite him, even though she was clearly planning something bad, still looked so holy and beautiful, so captivating to his eyes...
The next day, the news of the church fire spread like wildfire. It was said that in addition to a priest, an important figure from the Berlant family was also involved.
Of course, they all died in the fire in the end.
As soon as this incident happened, the Berlant family took the lead in attacking the Dodge family on the grounds that the Dodge family had committed arson and murder.
The Dodge family naturally denied it and claimed that if they had evidence they would sue in court and they would be ready to fight at any time.
Of course there is no evidence.
But the Berlant family knew very well that the church was where they secretly traded potions with the nobles, and this church outside the suburban town had always been a trap prepared for old Dodge.
Now that something has happened, it must be old Dodge who is causing the trouble.
But knowing the truth is one thing, and being able to tell it is another.
With no other options, an elder of the Berlant family approached the Kate family, claiming that he was willing to give up all his property just to seek justice.
Unfortunately, the Kate family did not respond.
On the weekend, in a secret private room in a luxuriously decorated Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, old Dodge and his son came out for dinner.
Two of Dodge's classmates also accompanied them.
During the meal, Old Dodge took the initiative to stand up and pour tea for Ye Lan, and also refilled the cup for the old man sitting next to him.
"Haha, I was just talking to Master Wen about Miss Ye. She is young and promising, and very courageous. The way she used Qi to get rid of her anger was really amazing." The Master Wen he was referring to was the owner of Chinatown and Qiao Kun's fellow disciple.
"You're too kind. It's just a test." Ye Lan picked up the teacup and took a sip. The mellow sweetness made her squint slightly. She finally felt the taste of home amid the bitter coffee on the street. "The Kate family is not stupid. They have realized that something is wrong and have to give up this chess piece."
Of course, the members of the Berlant family were not dead. They, including the priest, were now being held in the storage room of this restaurant. They had just brought the news that the Kate family refused to provide support to them and obtained new intelligence.
"Brant said the potion was just a basic experiment, so its performance was unstable. Francis has successfully made a number of pills over the years, and they have no side effects. He supplies them all to the upper class in Texas."
"It improves their spiritual power, helps them cultivate their thoughts, and comprehend theology."
"As for those students, they are nothing more than his experiments and, when necessary, tools for combat."
Old Dodge couldn't help but sigh as he spoke about the information he had collected.
He originally thought that using real swords and guns was the cruelest way of warfare, but he didn't expect that these people who practiced evil methods were the most filthy when it came to playing with people's hearts.
Just one Francis almost controlled the entire Texas, including Sayre Rose University.
Elder Wen, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Francis?"
There was a strong murderous intent in his tone.
Old Dodge was startled. He turned around and saw that his eyes were red. He was confused and asked, "What are you doing..."
Bang.
Elder Wen slammed his fist on the table, knocking over his teacup. Veins popped out on the back of his hand, and he gritted his teeth in hatred, "My daughter was saved from cancer in her first year at Seer Rose University and died in the dormitory. She had a physical checkup just before school started and was in good health. I've never understood why she fell ill in such a short time, yet the hospital's autopsy report found nothing..."
Hearing this, the old Taoist suddenly understood. Seeing that the man was only in his forties but had a head full of white hair, he couldn't help but feel a sense of empathy. "So you agreed to sell Chinatown after hearing about the potion, in order to find out the truth about your daughter's death."
"That's right." Elder Wen closed his eyes in sorrow. Tears welled up in his eyes as he thought of his daughter. "I must seek justice for her so she can rest in peace."
He raised his daughter single-handedly. His daughter's admission to Sayre Rose University was his greatest pride, and he gave up the opportunity to develop his career in his hometown and accompanied his daughter across the ocean to study in Texas.
Unexpectedly, this sent my daughter to the gates of hell, causing her a lifetime of pain.
He stayed in Chinatown and worked hard to expand his power in order to find out the truth. So when Ye Lan asked Qiao Kun's relationship to come to negotiate, what really touched him was not the human relationships, but the side effects of the potion that Ye Lan mentioned.
Now he is 100% sure that his daughter died at the hands of Francis.
Died in that damn experiment!
Seeing that he was determined to kill the man, Ye Lan shook his head and sighed, "I can hand him over to you, but unfortunately, he has gone crazy."
On the second day of being detained, he became so crazy that he couldn't ask any questions.
The medical department's examination report showed that he had suffered irreversible brain damage.
