Chapter 118

~7 min read 1,358 words

Lan Ze lowered his head, his ink-blue hair covering his eyebrows and eyes. Sunlight penetrated through the glass roof of the flower house and hit Lan Ze's back, but he only felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

His voice became very hoarse: "I just said what I saw with precognition. If he really loves you so much, how could he not consider your feelings and leave you behind? If he really loves you, he wouldn't test your feelings for him!"

He looked up, his eyes red like a rabbit's, and for the first time, there was content other than emptiness in his eyes, but that content was too complex.

Lan Ze suppressed his tears and said excitedly to her: "Sui Sui, he doesn't understand how to love someone at all. His love is too sharp, it will hurt you!"

Qiao Suisui suddenly felt a dull pain in her chest, a feeling as suffocating as being betrayed while the other party kept saying it was for your own good. He exposed her identity, indirectly causing her to be unable to go to school, pushing her to the forefront of public opinion, and possibly even affecting her belonging and freedom.

"Then what about you?" She looked at him and asked calmly: "You understand everything, yet you still chose to point a sword at me?"

She looked at Lan Ze in front of her and suddenly felt he had become so strange.

Hearing this, Lan Ze's face turned pale, his lips moved, but he couldn't say anything. His figure was like a candle in the wind, swaying, as if he was hanging on by only one breath.

"Sorry, sorry..." He murmured in a low voice, wanting to reach out to pull her, but saw Qiao Suisui take a step back, avoiding his touch.

Lan Ze seemed to be nailed to the spot, his heart aching like a knife.

"So what exactly did you see with precognition?" Qiao Suisui asked.

"Your first spouse is the son of the leader of the Rebel Army. You must not..." He wanted to say you must not approach him, but remembered that he should be extremely hated by Qiao Suisui at this moment, and what qualifications and stance did he have to say such things. Lan Ze laughed at himself bleakly.

"Are you talking about Bi?"

"His original name is Anubis Connor. He will die under a flurry of swords, his flesh stripped and bones removed."

Qiao Suisui's pupils shrank, her fingertips trembled, and she frowned and asked: "Are you sure?"

Lan Ze nodded, "I saw it in the picture, but I don't know the cause and effect, just some scattered fragments."

Qiao Suisui only found her breathing after a long while, her heartbeat almost breaking through her eardrums, her eyes full of helplessness and panic.

She passed Lan Ze in a trance and walked out. The figures of the two intersected. When Lan Ze passed by her side, he trembled and reached out to hold her back, but only touched a silk ribbon on her skirt. The moment the satin texture slipped from his hand, Lan Ze seemed to have all his strength drained.

He closed his eyes in pain, and the tears he had endured and endured finally fell from his cheeks.

"Sui Sui!"

He called her, but didn't dare to look back.

Lan Ze asked with a broken voice: "Can we still be friends..."

Qiao Suisui didn't answer. Her thoughts were too chaotic, and after a short stay, she took another step and left.

After returning to the palace, she locked herself up and didn't let anyone disturb her.

Everything made sense. Zongfang's abnormal attitude that night, and why he had to seriously injure Anubis... He was too proud. To make him tell her Lan Ze's prophecy to her face, he simply couldn't do it. Lan Ze also calculated this point in his personality before taking this step.

But regarding the prophecy about Bi, Qiao Suisui felt breathless whenever she thought of his ending. Her hands unconsciously clenched her skirt tightly, and she muttered to herself: "Must do something... must be able to do something to change it."

She forced herself to stabilize her mind and sorted out her thoughts. When she opened her eyes again, the panic had disappeared. She first called Zongfang, but lost patience directly in the continuous unanswered prompts. She took a team of guards and returned to the small building by flying ship directly. She planned to go to Sote after getting the ring. Hearing the footsteps coming from the stairs, Sang Yan came out of the room and sure enough saw Qiao Suisui who was hurrying downstairs. The two were one on the stairs and one under the stairs, suddenly looking at each other. Qiao Suisui remembered the embarrassment when eating hot pot last time, plus they hadn't seen each other recently, and for a while, it seemed a bit unfamiliar.

Sang Yan's gaze turned back and forth on her face and spoke first: "Why have you lost weight?"

Qiao Suisui was stunned, then responded with "um" and "ah", not knowing what to say. Plus, she had things on her mind, so she seemed very perfunctory.

Sang Yan noticed it keenly but didn't point it out, just stepped back two steps and cleared the passage at the stairs. He thought about it, and out of concern, asked: "Are you okay? I heard about Zongfang. Do you need help?"

"What?"

Sang Yan saw that she didn't seem to know, and immediately thought that the two men didn't intend to tell her, realizing he had said the wrong thing.

But it was too late. Qiao Suisui was already tense, and at this moment she was even more sensitive. She asked: "What happened to Zongfang?"

"The Ximeng family case he was involved in a while ago caused a lot of trouble. Now the Federation has issued a notice, he should... be executed soon."

22 lives, even if he was a genius in the scientific world who had contributed a lot, it was not enough for the Federation to set a precedent for him. Moreover, the pressure of public opinion was so great now, it was even more necessary to enforce the law impartially.

Hearing this, Qiao Suisui's legs went soft, and Sang Yan supported her with quick eyes and fast hands.

"What kind of execution?"

Sang Yan had some reluctance on his face, looking at her pale little face, and at this moment understood why those two men chose to hide it from her.

"Death penalty."

Qiao Suisui closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling. Sang Yan looked at the thin person in his arms, a trace of self-blame appearing in his eyebrows.

"Don't worry, let's think of a way together, there is always a solution."

Her palm clenched the ring, and huge waves rose in her eyes.

"There is a way." Qiao Suisui said low.

"I disagree."

Late at night.

In the small building, Laiboli stood in the living room, his face serious, and for the first time said heavy words to Qiao Suisui: "He killed the person himself, and he thought of the consequences when he did this. And it wasn't you who asked him to do this, why do you have to come out publicly to clean up his mess now?"

Qiao Suisui looked at him calmly and said: "I'm just coming out to testify, to let everyone know the truth that Ximeng designed to snipe me first. At least it can reverse public opinion, maybe it can save Zongfang's life."

"Anyway, I disagree." Laiboli turned away in anger.

Luka had been silent since entering the door. At this moment, he spoke steadily: "The principle of the Federal Court is transparency and openness, and all case trials are broadcast in real-time. Appearing to testify means that you not only expose your identity as an Ancient Human, but also expose your appearance and voice. Your future life will be greatly affected, you may not be able to go to school, including your personal freedom... Sui Sui, have you really thought about it?"
