Chapter 107: Human Nature

Suote.

In a dark alley that no one noticed, a tall black shadow stepped into the night. He avoided all the Sky Eyes along the way and came to an abandoned factory, where a young man dressed in expensive clothes had been waiting for a long time.

"Big brother, all is well."

Lan Ze didn't turn around, his mental power had already wrapped the black shadow.

The person took off the hood of his cloak; it was Niao, who had been missing for a long time.

"It seems that sparing your life that day was right, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to see this good show today." Niao walked to his side, looking at this younger brother he hadn't seen for a long time, narrowed his eyes and said: "You've changed."

Lan Ze smiled gently, his face wearing a kind expression, and he said: "Have I?"

Niao only felt somewhat creepy. He didn't waste time on small talk anymore, after all, there wasn't any real brotherly love, so he got straight to the point: "Zongfang has already asked Suote not to interfere in the ancient human research, and even used his father's power for this. Your plan is a no-go."

Lan Ze looked ahead, his eyes empty and void, saying: "Isn't this result good?"

Niao frowned: "You didn't intend for that human to return to Suote from the beginning?"

Lan Ze lowered his eyes, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

"She dislikes being coerced the most. Whether she returns to Suote or not is not important; what's important is that she and Zongfang break up."

Niao didn't know how Lan Ze found himself. He had been avoiding Laiboli's pursuit since his failed coup. During the time he occupied the Huangting, he obtained Qiao Suisui's medical records, learned the secret of her identity, and then used the exposure of Qiao Suisui's identity to threaten Laiboli, making him temporarily unable to rush to kill him.

Coincidentally, he happened to see a reporter secretly scraping material that day, threatening to find information on a female. He recognized it was Qiao Suisui based on that blurry back-view photo. But he didn't intend to sell her medical records to the reporter, because this was the only bargaining chip in his hand. If he couldn't use it well, it was a wrong bottom card.

But Lan Ze found him and asked him to sell the information to the reporter.

Niao understood this younger brother; the Lan Ze of childhood was soft-hearted and simple, and he couldn't even bear to punish the servants when they did something wrong, and he didn't understand why his father wanted him to inherit, nor was he convinced. So when Lan Ze put forward his exchange conditions, he didn't take Lan Ze seriously at all.

But it was this kind younger brother who revealed his hiding place to Laiboli's people, making him run for his life every day. In the end, Niao couldn't hold on and had to compromise, letting Lan Ze help him make a comeback, in exchange for Qiao Suisui's medical records.

That was why there was the sudden exposure later, and he didn't expect that immediately after the exposure was the press conference of the Research Center. Everything was too coincidental. Behind the situation, it was as if there was a mastermind behind the scenes, quietly watching everything happen as expected.

Niao began to not understand Lan Ze.

"What exactly do you want to do? Zongfang is not someone to be trifled with. You use him, aren't you afraid of being backlashed?"

Lan Ze smiled indifferently, saying: "If I really have that day, for her, I am willing. Besides, Zongfang has too many uses."

Lan Ze was precocious, plus his special talent experience, making him more insightful into human nature than others. Such a person, one thought can become a god, one thought can become a demon, and he is best at manipulating human hearts. Geerba Sanshi saw this point of his youngest son and tried his best to support him to the top. Although Niao had ability, he was far inferior in this point.

He told Zongfang about Qiao Suisui's first spouse, which was to kill two birds with one stone.

He saw Qiao Suisui and the leader of the Rebel Army's son holding a pairing ceremony in his precognition. The scene was very fragmented and blurry, and he could only infer from the few pictures he saw.

Lan Ze had worried about this until he couldn't sleep, and even wrote a letter to tell her before leaving, just to let her know the other party's identity and let her choose carefully. Falling in love with someone who shouldn't be loved without knowing it was a disaster in Lan Ze's view.

But fate played tricks on people, and that letter wasn't handed to her.

Lan Ze thought, this was perhaps the opportunity heaven gave him.

An opportunity to let him stand by her side justifiably.

Among these men, Sikesaisi and Laiboli only had benefits and no threats to her. Lan Ze wouldn't choose to move them, only making plans for mediation in the future, but there was one person who had to be removed, and that was Anubis. But Lan Ze didn't want to take action himself; this would make Sui Sui hate him, so he had to find a sharp 'knife'.

He planted a 'heart demon' in Zongfang at the banquet, telling him that Sui Sui's sincerity only belonged to one person, and that person was definitely not him.

This man was very strong, a rare genius, but he had one shortcoming, which was extreme self-centeredness. Such a person wouldn't allow others to covet his things, let alone his own strong possessiveness toward Sui Sui. What he couldn't get, others shouldn't even dream of getting. There was only a thin line between genius and madman, and that line was Qiao Suisui.

So Lan Ze set up a chain of traps, one after another, first making Zongfang's mentality unstable, leading to the estrangement of the two's relationship, and then designing to make Qiao Suisui mistakenly think Zongfang coerced her to lock her in Suote. During this period, he only needed to observe the changes and let the contradictions between the two ferment.

Zongfang was like a jar of strong wine; it was addictive when tasted for the first time, but if she drank strong wine every day, no matter how much she liked it, she would definitely know this wine was harmful to her. Not to mention, if there were wounds in her mouth, strong wine would only stimulate her to be more painful.

Lan Ze believed that Qiao Suisui would definitely pull away from Zongfang after this time, and this point would make Zongfang completely unable to accept it. Plus, he told Zongfang the prophecy of the first spouse, and this man would definitely do extreme things. In this way, not only would he never be able to win Qiao Suisui back, but he would also get rid of Anubis.

Niao knew nothing about these twists and turns. He didn't think Lan Ze had any ability to plan and insight into human nature, only contemptuously said: "Anyway, I've done everything you asked me to do, now it's time to talk about my conditions."

Lan Ze smiled even more harmlessly, politely saying: "Of course. Big brother, I already have a plan for you to make a comeback."

Niao looked serious and asked: "What is it?"

"Come here, this matter cannot be heard by others."

Niao walked closer, leaned over slightly, and heard Lan Ze say: "Big brother, actually I have precognized your ending. You were finally beheaded by Laiboli's people and your body was thrown on a desolate star..."

"Heh!"

Niao grabbed Lan Ze's forearm fiercely, looked down in disbelief, and found that he was holding a golden dagger, and the dagger was directly submerged in his chest, blood blooming like flowers on his clothes.

"You..."

Lan Ze was still smiling, his expression unmoved, continuing to say: "I think this ending is too miserable, it's better for me to change it for you. Big brother, go in peace, I will bury you and Father together."

The young man drew his knife, the tall man knelt to the ground, eyes wide open, swallowing his last breath unwillingly.

Lan Ze took out a handkerchief to wipe the dagger, his azure eyes like the sea, quiet, innocent.

He slowly looked up, closed his eyes, and used his talent. His consciousness was like traveling through tens of thousands of scenes, finally stopping at one.

The environment in the picture seemed to be a corridor of a school apartment, and blood stains splashed on the doorplate of 702.

Lan Ze smiled, then opened his eyes, muttering to himself: "It's almost time, she needs me by her side..."
