Chapter 169 He is a genius
"A falling out?"
Lin Fang looked at Ning Yan's expression and thought about the current relationship between the three of them. He could only think of this possibility and wondered, "Only one person can come out of Rose Island alive?"
Ning Yan thought about it, it seemed like too long ago. He nodded, then shook his head and sighed, "You know, I was abducted from Beijing to Continent M by human traffickers when I was 6 years old. I was sold several times in just a few months. Continent M is not like China, where children are not abducted to be sold to childless people."
"At that time, there was a clear gray industry chain in Continent M, involving human trafficking, organ smuggling, drug dealing, land grabbing, assassin training, political assassinations, and so on. In the beginning, people would buy children from the underground city. There were so many children there, and they were willing to sell them for a little money."
"But then the M State government intervened for a while, and those people started planning to move across the ocean. I must have been sold to many places first."
Lin Fang looked at him and couldn't help but frowning a little.
Ning Yan, however, didn't seem to find the topic heavy, nor did he feel like he was just digging into an old wound. He suddenly smiled and said, "I remember there was a period of time when I was sold to a young couple. They were quite kind to me. But the underground city was in chaos at that time, with wars everywhere, and they didn't survive."
“I was sold again.”
Lin Fang didn't say anything. He suddenly felt that it was too early to ask. He should wait until Yu Li was around before asking Ning Yan.
At worst, I have to wait until Shi Ming comes out before asking.
But if he interrupted Ning Yan and asked him to stop talking, he couldn't say anything.
And words of comfort... he had never said them in his life.
He only harms others.
Lin Fang suddenly remembered that there was another person in the room, so he immediately turned his gaze to Yu Chengbai opposite him, expecting him to say something, but found that Yu Chengbai was just looking at Ning Yan quietly.
No expression, no words, just looking at him gently.
Very quiet, very gentle, very distressed.
...Well, he would comfort with his eyes, without even using his mouth.
Lin Fang was struggling with how to start and how to comfort Ning Yan naturally, but Ning Yan didn't seem to need any comfort at all. He just kept talking to himself, "This time, I was sold to a very wealthy noble in the Golden Triangle. The person who sold me said it was a good place, where I wouldn't starve or freeze, and I had a bright future."
"I boarded a boat and drifted on the sea for two days and two nights, vomiting profusely before finally being brought to the island."
"The island is beautiful, and its name is beautiful too, Rose Island."
"What do you do?" Lin Fang couldn't think of any words to comfort him, and was afraid that he wouldn't be able to comfort others and that it would be counterproductive, so he could only interject a few words to show that he was listening carefully.
"Training assassins." Ning Yan pulled himself out of his trance, turned to look at him, and explained, "At that time, there was a very wealthy noble in the Golden Triangle. He finally had an heir in his old age. Continent M was in chaos at the time. Whether it was the Golden Triangle Underground City or the central and eastern parts, there were wars and deaths everywhere."
Lin Fang frowned and guessed: "So he wants to train his own killer?"
"Yes, the assassins back then weren't actually professionals. They were more like thugs, many of them desperate criminals from the underground city. As long as the money was in, they would kill anyone. If they died, they died. After all, they had nothing to worry about."
After a pause, he continued, "That noble had a long-term vision. He spent a fortune to select and purchase a group of highly qualified children. He also hired members of the Royal Secret Service and the Mercenary Corps to help him train these assassins, or rather, bodyguards, because his sole purpose was to protect his two-year-old son."
Lin Fang asked him, "So you stayed on the island?"
Ning Yan nodded: "Yes, I quite like it there, but whether I like it or not, I have no choice."
Having heard so much before, Lin Fang didn't feel any heartache.
It's more of a feeling of being at a loss when hearing someone talk about their tragic past, or a particularly tragic past, and when this person happens to be your good brother.
Just like when he first learned about Yu Li's experience in Hong Kong City, his first feeling was anger, his second feeling was still anger, and finally, a little bit of imperceptible heartache.
Lin Fang doesn't think of himself as a melancholy person.
He will not waste too much emotion on things that have happened, but choose to solve them positively and rationally.
But now, hearing Ning Yan's natural tone and expression, he had no choice.
Lin Fang suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, as if he couldn't breathe.
In his eyes, Ning Yan is free and easy, does his own thing, and is never bound by anything.
He said he had no choice.
Ning Yan didn't notice the two gazes beside him. He touched his chin with his right hand and continued slowly, "After that, I had a pretty good time. I had a good personality, was sweet-mouthed, and loved to laugh. My instructors and other children all liked me very much."
"I was sold to a young couple before. Their hair was beautiful blonde, but mine was black. I told them I wanted to dye my hair like theirs."
"Well, the hair dyer at the time wasn't very skilled, and he was probably a little blind, so he dyed my hair pink."
"The color never faded, and my hair had grown longer. When I was on Rose Island, they all thought I was a girl and were very nice to me. Others could only get their food once, but I could get it three times. I was still growing, so my appetite was really good."
"My instructor at the time was also very good. He thought I was smart and taught me everything. That's when I learned how to disguise myself from him."
"He was really nice. He even said that if I was eliminated and he had no children, he would let me be his daughter after we left Rose Island."
Lin Fang looked at the smile on his face and asked him, "What about Moros and K?"
Ning Yan was stunned for a moment, then thought: "Moros must have been abducted and sold to Rose Island. He and I are the most talented among all the children. I like to play, and he is very serious and hardworking. But he can never beat me in every test. We often quarrel and I like to bully him."
"Is this how you used to get along? You seem to have a good relationship."
Lin Fang always thought that he and Moros were a partnership with a community of interests, and not much of a friendship.
Looking back now, it seems not to be the case, but more like a childhood friendship.
Ning Yan said: "Relationships are sometimes good and sometimes bad, and no one will be soft-hearted during the assessment."
Lin Fang asked him, "What about K?"
Hearing this name, Ning Yan was slightly stunned, as if he didn't know how to introduce this person.
After a long silence, he frowned and said slowly: "He is a genius."
