Chapter 366 – Your family’s plum blossom is lost again (43)
“This was the condition that the research institute exchanged with the Mu family—an officially recognized identity and the most seamless way to handle things.
“But after all, being an artificial human with the most perfect genes, he’s indeed so smart it’s terrifying. At such a young age, he already noticed how he was different from others. By piecing together conversations between the Mu family members and the people from the research institute, he figured out his own identity. Then he began to disguise himself—pretending to be naive and ignorant, deliberately slowing down their experiments, making them believe that the project had failed.”
Yan Luo’s face turned deathly pale, as if she had been frightened by Wang Shi’s words.
But indeed, it all sounded too fantastical to be true.
“That Xiao Gege of yours has done quite a lot behind the scenes. He became the biggest seller in the underground arms market, using his intelligence and abilities to find other test subjects from the same lab. He then leveraged their individual strengths to build a flawless underground empire, slowly luring the research institute into his trap, until he finally destroyed it completely.”
Wang Shi shook her head. “It’s honestly terrifying…”
In the novel, the Wang family was ultimately destroyed by Yan Luo. Wang Shi and Yan Luo had originally met in university. Wang Shi had a strong personality, and she naturally disliked Yan Luo, who always outshone her in everything. Over time, their rivalry deepened, and Wang Shi resorted to some rather unsavory tactics. But in the end, she was swiftly crushed by the combined efforts of the Yan and Mu families, orchestrated behind the scenes.
Although she was no longer the original Wang Shi, she had inherited Wang Shi’s hatred and memories. As she spoke these words now, her heart was filled with a mix of emotions.
But time was almost up. Seeing the look on Yan Luo’s face, Wang Shi felt a deep sense of satisfaction. Finally, she curled her lips into a faint smile. “Alright, enough useless talk. You know everything you need to know. No regrets now, right? As for your future… I’ll be sure to inherit it for you…”
A small dagger, tainted with a black aura, appeared in Wang Shi’s hand as she slowly approached Yan Luo.
Who would have thought that the supposedly terrified, pale-faced Yan Luo would purse her lips slightly and turn away?
“Little Pink, in this situation, if I break character, that should be fine, right?”
[Mhm, I think it’s fine.] Little Pink responded with evident displeasure as it watched the arrogant pseudo-system and woman before them.
This thing not only dared to frighten its Dear Host but also had the audacity to try and erase her existence? Where did she get such confidence from? Did she really think this Master Pink was powerless?
A pink light shot out from between Yan Luo’s eyebrows, silently enveloping the pseudo-system before her, completely locking it down.
With that reassurance, Yan Luo felt at ease. She lifted her head, and under Little Pink’s control, the eerie figure of the pseudo-system was already obscured. The corners of her lips curled as she slowly stood up, dusted off her clothes, propped her chin on her hand, and blinked as she said, “Hmm… haven’t you heard? Villains usually die from talking too much.”
Though, she was thankful for what Wang Shi talked about. (*^▽^*)
Wang Shi, dagger in hand, halted in her tracks, frowning in confusion as she looked at Yan Luo, who suddenly seemed like a completely different person. “Are you just trying to act tough? It’s useless, you know. I have a system. Do you even understand what that means just from the name alone? You and I are not the same. In this place, you can’t escape. And your Xiao Gege? He’s not coming to save you.”
