Chapter 19: He Can Completely Satisfy Me
Xie Chengzhi was stunned and speechless at Jiang Ran’s questioning.
“When you said in front of Gu Yunqing that you wanted to talk to me about our past, did you ever think about the kind of trouble I would face next?” Jiang Ran sneered. “Senior, we’ve already broken up — you have Senior Luo Rui. You’re loving and fight alongside each other. I give you my blessing... As for me, I just want to seek protection with Si Xu now. Can you please watch your mouth and not cause trouble for me?”
“Ranran.” When Luo Rui heard Jiang Ran's agitated speech, she became more certain that the girl still loved Xie Chengzhi. Luo Rui put on a helpless expression and said softly, “We just care about you. We don’t mean anything else...”
“You care about me?” Jiang Ran laughed, wrapped her fingers around her hair and said indifferently, “If you care about me, stay away from me –– I'm doing fine now. I’m doing fine in all aspects. I don't need your ‘seemingly genuine concern’.”
“Ranran, you don't need to put on a tough front. You have to serve another man. I know you must’ve felt...”
Would this woman cut it out already? Jiang Ran interrupted Luo Rui impatiently. “I’m not putting on a tough front. I'm really doing fine now.”
She glanced at the two of them, her words implying something. “After all, Si Xu is powerful. He can completely satisfy me — in every way.”
That was the truth. After she followed Si Xu, she had gotten the best protection, whether it was food, clothing, shelter, transportation, or personal safety.
“Ranran, you...” Unable to believe that his conservative ex-girlfriend would make such a loose remark, Xie Chengzhi was dumbfounded.
“Have I made it clear enough? I don’t need your unnecessary sympathy.” It wasn’t real sympathy anyway –– it was even more unnecessary to feign sympathy. It only made everyone frustrated.
Ignoring the shocked expressions on Xie Chengzhi and Luo Rui’s faces, Jiang Ran said slowly, “As long as you don't cause me trouble, I think Si Xu will always pamper me. Thus, please stay away from me in the future, thank you.”
The girl was about to leave when she heard unhurried footsteps behind her.
Si Xu was walking up the stairs slowly. When he saw Jiang Ran, there was a slightly confused expression on his face. “Gu Yunqing said you were looking for me.”
Jiang Ran ran over to hold his arm and replied in a voice that was heard by everyone present, “It's been resolved. I’m sorry to have troubled you to come over here.”
“It’s no trouble.” Si Xu looked at the two people who were dumbfounded and held Jiang Ran's hand. “The convoy is ready to set off. Have you packed your things?”
“Yes.” Jiang Ran left with him and praised him generously, “Si Xu, you’re so kind to me!”
Si Xu, “...” Sure enough, she shouldn't be allowed to associate with those two brainless people. She was suddenly acting strangely.
……
As the convoy drove out of the village, Jiang Ran looked back at the village as it faded from view and was puzzled. “Si Xu, did something happen last night?”
When they left, Lei Tang didn't even come out to see them off, let alone take away any supplies... Oh, she hadn't seen Lei Tang since she woke up that morning. She hadn’t even seen the underlings who followed him.
“Lei Tang arranged for someone to spring a sneak attack last night, but it was thwarted.” Without concealing anything, Si Xu roughly explained what happened the night before and asked Gu Yunqing, “What did you do to those people?”
Gu Yunqing put away the map and turned to look at the two of them. “Except for the one you killed, I locked all of them up in the cellar — whether they can survive depends on whether anyone can find them.”
Si Xu killed someone last night? Jiang Ran glanced at Si Xu cautiously and lowered her gaze.
Gu Yunqing, who had been observing Jiang Ran's expression, continued to say, “Oh, I’ve gotten someone to bury the dead guy in a random place.”
“Oh.” Si Xu didn't understand why Gu Yunqing emphasized that, but he didn't take it to heart. “Just deal with it as you deem fit.”
Gu Yunqing wasn’t surprised by such an answer. His attention wasn’t on Si Xu either. He turned around and sat upright, looked at Jiang Ran through the rearview mirror and smiled. “Sister Ranran, do you have anything else to ask?”
“Huh?” Jiang Ran shook her head when she was suddenly called. “Nothing — oh, I have one more question.”
“What's the question? As long as I know the answer, I’ll definitely clear your doubt.”
“From what you said, this wasn’t the first time Lei Tang and the others did this kind of thing?"
“Yeah.”
“Then, why didn't you just kill them all, so that they won’t have a chance to continue to harm others?”
Gu Yunqing, “...Sigh, I didn’t know you're quite ruthless.”
Jiang Ran, “...It was just a casual remark. You don't have to take it to heart.”
She really just said it casually.
Si Xu killed one of them and this thought just suddenly came to mind –– anyway, those people would only continue to harm others if they lived. They might as well... Of course, it was just a thought. She wouldn’t dare to do it if she was asked to do so.
“It could be done,” Gu Yunqing said. “But it's not easy to deal with the aftermath after killing them.”
“Aftermath?” You would have dealt with the most powerful superhumans in that base. Would there be any other threats?
“That village's defenses aren’t strong and there are many ordinary people. The safety of the village can only be maintained by relying on Lei Tang and his group of superhumans to guard the village.” Gu Yunqing said, “If Lei Tang is killed, the remaining ordinary people will have no chance of survival.”
“Can't we bring them along with us...” Before she finished asking, Jiang Ran knew she had asked a stupid question when she saw Si Xu's expression.
There were more than a hundred ordinary people who were old, weak, sick, or disabled. It wouldn’t be easy to bring all of them along.
When Si Xu heard the girl's question which she stopped asking abruptly, he curled up his lips and smiled silently. “We could have brought them along.”
“Huh?”
“However, I don't want to bring them along.” The young man still had a smile on the corner of his mouth, but the smile didn't reach his eyes and his eyes were filled with coldness. “I don't like those people, so I don't want to bring them along.”
Jiang Ran was stunned.
That was such a simple answer –– just because he didn’t like them, he refused to give a helping hand or care about their fates.
He was like an almighty God, looking down coldly on this hell on earth that was heading toward destruction, and looking down on the humble lives that were struggling in this terrible hell.
He was a man without any sympathy. Jiang Ran thought that perhaps Si Xu really couldn't be restrained by normal people's moral values –– his actions and words had always followed his personal preferences.
The pain, sorrows or joys of others were all irrelevant to him — it was fine as long as he was happy.
He was a man who did everything based on his own whims.
No wonder. It was not without reason that he became the big villain boss.
Since Si Xu answered Jiang Ran's question on his behalf, Gu Yunqing gave up on what he was going to say.
He looked at the two people in the back seat who had suddenly became quiet and couldn't help but sigh. Sigh, that guy, Si Xu, really didn't know how to chat with girls. Look, he had caused an awkward silence again.
