Chapter 235 What Do You Understand
"Don't move."
Lan Ze, who had been weak in his limbs due to being tied up for a long time, now quickly pulled out the dagger and pressed it hard against Ning Yan's neck. He tore off all his disguises and stared coldly at everyone present.
After scanning around, he finally fixed his gaze on Yu Chengbai, whose face was as pale as paper and who was staring at him intently.
Lan Ze said: "Get out."
Yu Chengbai frowned hard but didn't move. He didn't dare to move.
Lan Ze pressed the dagger in his hand against Ning Yan's neck, leaving a clear blood mark. He shouted, "Do you want to see me cut his throat?"
The wound on the abdomen was not fatal, but it was not lightly serious either. Even if Ning Yan covered the wound with his hand, it was of no use.
Bright red blood gushed out from between his fingers, quickly staining his clothes red.
He had suffered more serious injuries before, and had even been on the verge of death, but he had never felt such a fear of death as he did now.
Ning Yan never felt that he was afraid of death.
Until now, this place is almost full of the most important people in his life.
All the people he loved were here, watching him with a knife at his neck.
He was indeed scared to death.
Indistinctly, Ning Yan figured it out—
Why didn't Lan Ze take action for so long? Why did they rush here so quickly? Why did they have to go through such a long detour to kill him...
After knowing each other for many years, Lan Ze probably knew very well that he was never a person who feared death.
Then letting him die probably isn't really a punishment at all. The real punishment is to make him feel regret, pain, despair, and a mad desire to live before he dies...
He wanted him to die in pain.
"Lan Ze."
Ning Yan suddenly spoke.
His voice was calm, except for the shock he felt when the knife first stabbed him, and the shock he felt when he saw the hatred in Lan Ze's eyes.
At this moment, he didn't look like a hostage at all.
He looked like someone used to seeing life and death, not even the disappointment and hatred of being backstabbed could be seen. With a puzzled look in his eyes, he asked, "Can you tell me why before you kill me? I'm not a good person, but I think I've been pretty good to you."
Lan Ze looked at him with bloodshot eyes and said nothing.
Ning Yan could sense that he was a little angry, but he didn't restrain himself and continued, "Have we met before?"
"I'm so sorry, I don't think I've ever seen you before, or maybe I accidentally killed your family or friends? Are you here to seek revenge on me?"
"If you're looking for revenge, go ahead. I never thought I'd have a peaceful retirement before I started this business."
Lan Ze's knife was on his neck, and he wanted to cut it off several times.
He stared at the man in front of him, as if he wanted to stare two bloody holes in his face. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "K, do you really not remember me?"
Ning Yan said: "It seems that I should remember you?"
"Do you remember the last name Grant?"
'……'
Ning Yan was slightly startled, then quickly smiled and chatted, "Time flies so fast. When I held you here and played with you, you were only two or three years old, and in the blink of an eye you've grown up so big."
Lan Ze suddenly became angry and asked loudly: "Is it you who is holding me?! Is it you!!! Is that person you!!"
He was extremely emotional, like a lion that had suddenly gone mad with rage, his eyes red enough to bleed.
Yu Chengbai and the others stared at his dagger with fear on their faces, fearing that he would get so angry that his rationality and emotions would go out of control.
He directly cut Ning Yan's throat with a knife.
However, Ning Yan seemed oblivious to the dagger on his neck and said calmly, "It wasn't me, but during those years on 735, when you were too scared to sleep at night, I was the one who held you and coaxed you to sleep."
"Yes... it's you." Lan Ze stared at him, his eyes red and hot, his chest heaving violently, his breathing disordered, and his words trembling and blurry. "But why is it you?"
"Why you!!!"
“Why is it you!!”
No one could understand his collapse under this heart-wrenching roar, and no one understood why he was becoming more and more angry, crazy and terrifying.
But Ning Yan understood.
Looking back at what happened when Lan Ze entered Unit 735, and considering his former identity, it is not difficult to understand his current collapse and despair.
Although Ning Yan didn't know how he survived the fire, he could empathize with the feeling of being favored by fate only to find out that he was being played a trick by fate.
He guessed that Lan Ze must not have had a good life before entering 735, wandering around and not having enough food to eat.
Then one day, he heard that an organization called 735 was training killers and they needed kids his age.
So, in order to survive, he went without hesitation.
Then, he heard two familiar names at 735 - Ning Yan and Moros.
Two names that were deeply etched in his mind.
When they were still in their warm home, these two people would climb over the high walls and thorn bushes to come to his room every night.
Play with him, tell him stories, make him happy, and bring him lots of interesting things from outside...
With a nervous mood, he finally met the people with these two names at 735.
Two people who are almost exactly the same as in my memory.
So he went through untold hardships, stood out from hundreds of students, and became the apprentice of those two people.
The only apprentice.
Although the two of them still liked to fight and quarrel like before, they fought every now and then and quarreled day and night.
Morose was still the same as I remembered, always with a cold face and saying annoying things...
But Ning Yan hadn't changed either, he was exactly the same as in my memory.
Even with beautiful dyed hair, she is still so lovable.
She would always stand up for him when Morose scolded her, would hold him to sleep when he was scared when he killed someone for the first time, and would whip him back when other members bullied him...
Too many.
Although he had no parents, he strangely felt the long-lost fatherly and motherly love from these two people.
Until one day, he discovered that he had been cheated.
Ning Yan is not 'Ning Yan', but the culprit who caused him to lose his home, the son of the person who killed his family and caused him to be displaced for many years.
I thought I was favored by fate, but in fact I was being teased by fate.
This kind of gap between the past and the present can really drive people crazy.
Ning Yan was driven to the point of wanting to die by this disparity, not to mention Lan Ze, a kid who would only turn 19 at the end of the year. No matter how talented he was, he couldn't withstand the huge joke that fate played on him.
"I understand your anger." Ning Yan suddenly said, "It is understandable that you want to kill me."
"What do you understand? Why do you think you can understand? How can you understand?" Lan Ze gritted his teeth and trembled all over.
"Lan Ze, if you decide to kill someone, don't be indecisive. Remember, villains always die because they talk too much."
Ning Yan smiled and said, "This is the last lesson I will teach you as your teacher."
After saying that, he grabbed Lan Ze's hand holding the dagger and slashed it across his neck fiercely and with all his might.
"Ning Yan!"
"Ayan!"
“What the hell?!”
In just a blink of an eye, the dagger was placed on Lan Ze's neck.
Ning Yan held the dagger and looked at him with eyes full of tenderness, pity and heartache.
After a long while, he whispered, "I'm sorry, Aze, you didn't learn what I just taught you."
