Chapter 168 Jiang Luan
"Jiang Luan is the person I have known the longest in the Wolf Hunting Group. I have known him since before the Wolf Hunting Group was established.
When I was released from the Blood Prison, I spent over a month in Germany before establishing myself in Southern Europe. It was during that month that I met Jiang Luan.
"I remember it was late summer and early autumn, the weather was already getting a bit cold, and the weapons from the Sui and Tang dynasties hadn't been delivered to me yet, so I took the money I won from the Blood Prison and wanted to recruit a group of people in Germany.
But I never thought about recruiting a military doctor, so my acquaintance with Jiang Luan was completely unexpected."
"The person in charge of the Hoffman family at the time was Jiang Luan's uncle, and his father seemed to have died from a disease caused by the corrosion of radioactive elements.
After his father died, his uncle brought Jiang Luan back from his mother's home in mainland China. The Jiang family was also a medical family, but not as famous as the Hoffman family.
Jiang Luan lived in Germany for four years, from the age of twelve to sixteen.
The first time I met him, he was sixteen and I was seventeen."
“I despise doctors because the ones I’ve seen since I was a child never cured me. Instead, they tried drugs on me over and over again, adding to my pain and scars.
And Jiang Luan at that time obviously looked down on me.
So my first meeting with him was not a pleasant one, and I almost killed him.”
When Lu Qian heard this, she felt a little distressed and wanted to laugh. She really couldn't imagine that Cheng Yi and Jiang Luan looked down on each other.
“My first encounter with him was on the black market.
At that time, I needed a new identity, one that could completely get rid of the Lupinos mark, so before this identity was fabricated, all my financial transactions could not be seen in public.
Jiang Luan appeared in the black market, apparently to buy something that could not be shown to others.
We both happened to be interested in a type of poison that was not available on the black market."
"It's a neurotoxin, and only a tiny amount is enough to cause disability, but for me, a tiny amount is just enough to suppress the 'attack,' so I have to get it.
There is no first-come-first-served rule in the black market; only the highest bidder wins.
Or if you kill the person who bargained with you, the goods will be yours.
It's conceivable that the money Jiang Luan brought was not enough to compete with me, and he couldn't kill me.
So he told me that he was a doctor and as long as he had the master copy, he could make a lot of copies for me and hoped that I would give it to him.
But as I said before, I look down on doctors, especially the "doctor" in front of me, who is a skinny boy with messy hair and dull eyes.
So I ignored him and just kept raising the price.”
"Jiang Luan was driven crazy by me. He thought I was a fool with a lot of money.
He was even thinner then than he is now. Although I was only seventeen years old, my height and physique were not much smaller than they are now.
Can you imagine, a skinny teenager, rushing towards me, pulling my arm and trying to hit me?"
Lu Qian pouted and shook her head. Jiang Luan was already thin enough now, but he was even thinner than now. How dare he hit Cheng Yi?
“Not only you, I didn’t expect him to hit me.
But he didn't even touch my clothes before I knocked him to the ground. At that time, I had just come out of the blood prison and had almost forgotten the rules of the normal world. Killing was as common to me as breathing.
So I pulled out my gun, and without even thinking, I pointed it at his head and pulled the trigger."
"But perhaps it was God's will that the gun went blank.
In that case, I don't have the habit of killing ordinary people, so I just ignored him, threw down the money, picked up the poison and left, pretending that I had never seen this person.
But I didn't expect that he would dare to chase me recklessly and keep chasing me endlessly.
At that time, I was more speechless than annoyed. I thought he didn't understand what I was saying."
When Lu Qian heard this, he laughed softly. This was truly Jiang Luan. It was something he could definitely do.
"So I threw a knife at him, knocked him unconscious, and then walked away without looking back.
I thought this person had disappeared from my life until I went to the black market again more than a week later."
"I was walking down that familiar street when suddenly a figure appeared before my eyes. He was incredibly thin and blocked my way.
I took a look at the dirty, disheveled, and vaguely familiar figure in front of me.
Isn't this the 'doctor'?"
"My silence towards him turned into some interest at this point, and I was just about to ask him, 'What are you doing?'
His stomach suddenly made a deafening roar.
Jiang Luan was very embarrassed, and I was also in a state of confusion, so I asked him: "Would you like to go eat first?"
"After I took him out for dinner and chatted with him, I found out that he had been waiting for me at the black market for a week. He hadn't gone anywhere and hadn't even had a bite to eat because he was afraid of interacting with people.
I was shocked. I have seen many people killing people without blinking an eye, but this is the first time I have seen someone so mentally ill.
So I asked him: "Why do you dare to snatch the poison from me?"
Jiang Luan rubbed his mouth full of food residue and answered me hesitantly: "That's different. This medicine is related to my medical research."
I suddenly realized and said, "I didn't expect you to be a doctor."
Jiang Luan obviously thought I was being rude, and he ignored me after that.
When Lu Qian heard this, he held his forehead and laughed a few times. This was too Jiang Luan.
"I saw that he was determined not to speak, so I asked him why he had to take the poison from me. If I accepted his reason, I would give it to him for free.
Jiang Luan then spoke reluctantly. He said that he wanted to become the best pharmacist and develop impossible medicines to cure diseases that no one else could treat.
So he collected many rare medicines to study and decipher.”
"I instantly felt that this skinny, dull boy was just as ambitious and persistent as I was, and my discrimination against him based on his identity changed.
So I asked him if he would like to join my mercenary group and be my military doctor.
I told him that although I don’t have anyone under me now, I will one day become the overlord of all Europe. No matter what research he does in the future, as long as I am alive, I will provide full financial support unconditionally.
Even if I die one day, I will find more suitable investors for him."
“Even I can’t imagine how I could have said such words at that time.
But perhaps it was because the two ambitious men sympathized with each other, Jiang Luan had no doubts and really believed in me unconditionally.
After that meal, Jiang Luan left Germany with me, without taking any luggage or telling anyone.
“The only thing he took was the small metal box.
I've known him for nine years, and the only thing he ever said to me about the box was, 'It told me I should go with you.'
But I never understood what he meant.”
Having said that, Cheng Yi glanced sideways at Lu Qian.
"But his choice back then was right, and your man didn't let him down."
Hearing Cheng Yi's words that sounded like he was taking credit for something, Lu Qian couldn't help but smile, "You really never let anyone down."
Perhaps it is because of this that Cheng Yi was able to conquer so many people, including her.
Cheng Yi chuckled softly, took Lu Qian's hand and gave it a light kiss on the back of her hand.
"You too, never disappoint."
