Chapter 252: Alarming Rapport
As soon as Jiang Ran finished speaking, Si Nian made a second cut on Jiang Suxin without hesitation.
“S?!” Jiang Suxin’s delicate face was completely distorted. Suppressing her despair, she said, word by word, “Just kill me.”
She looked up at Si Nian, her gaze resolute, now filled with a sense of liberation that was more evident than before.
"Kill me," she whispered. "I'll repay you for everything I owe you."
Ignoring Jiang Suxin's request, Si Nian stared intently at Jiang Ran. "Aren't you coming out yet?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a wind blade slashed Jiang Suxin's leg.
"Ugh!" Jiang Suxin finally let out an involuntary short cry of pain, which she then forcibly swallowed back.
She didn't expect Jiang Ran to step in and save her.
Just like Jiang Ran said, she worked for S and helped S plot against her. She had no obligation and no reason to risk her life for an enemy.
Jiang Suxin leaned against the wall and took a breath, her bright eyes gradually losing focus.
It was really laughable.
S saved her life, but after all these years, she was going to kill her—this was probably what people called karma.
Apparently, if a person was destined to die young, no matter how much they struggled and resisted, they would eventually return to their original path.
Hah.
Jiang Ran leaned against the pillar and pressed the button on the side of her watch. After a soft hissing sound, the transparent thread was retracted into the watch.
Outside, the crazed Si Nian delivered her fourth blow. Her hostage no longer reacted.
Jiang Ran cracked her knuckles and cursed, "Darn it, you not only have delusions, but you're a lunatic too. You’re so ruthless to your own people. No wonder my dad doesn't like you."
Si Nian's tone was cold. "Aren't you coming out yet?"
"I'm out, I’m out!" Jiang Ran stepped out from behind the pillar, glanced at Jiang Suxin on the ground, and clicked her tongue twice. "How pitiful, you almost got sliced into sashimi."
When Jiang Ran obediently came out, the wind blade forming at Si Nian's fingertips dissipated. She had never intended to kill Jiang Suxin.
"If you had come out sooner, she wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Whoa, so you mean it's my fault?" Jiang Ran pouted. "You really are a crazy woman. Qin Huai is no better than you, hanging out with someone like you."
"Hah, isn't Qin Huai's current state a result of your father's fault?"
"Oh." Jiang Ran smiled. "You didn't deny it, so it seems Qin Huai really is working with you?"
She glared at Si Nian coldly. "Back in Yancheng, the arena where Si Xu was confined could block superpowers. Did you provide Qin Huai with the equipment for that arena?"
Si Nian smiled smugly. "It was me."
"Okay."
Jiang Ran clasped her hands together, making a crisp sound. As she raised her hands, the light of the setting sun fell on her fingertips, gathering at a single point along the transparent silk threads.
She felt calm now, with only one thought in her mind—to teach this person a lesson and wake her up from her pathetic and arrogant fantasy.
That was what she thought, and that was what she did.
……
When Jiang Suxin awoke from her brief coma, she heard Si Nian’s cries of pain and angry curses.
She struggled to lift her eyes and saw Jiang Ran pinning Si Nian to the ground, punching her in the face.
"You schemed against Si Xu! You slandered my father! You blew up Xiling laboratory!"
Jiang Ran's curses were full of vigor, and the sound of her punches landing hard made Jiang Suxin's heart tremble.
"You can neutralize my superpower?!" Si Nian hastily dodged the rain of punches, her voice broken and muffled by the groans of pain from each blow. "What has Jiang Yize done to you?!"
"Didn't you say my father was still entangled with you? How come you seem to know nothing about this?" Jiang Ran seized the opportunity to mock her. "You're so pathetic, Si Nian. Apart from your fantasies, there isn't a single person in this world who truly loves you—you're so pathetic!"
"Nonsense!" Seemingly devastated by her last sentence, Si Nian screamed, "Jiang Yize loves me! He only loves me!"
"He loves you, my foot!"
No way. When it came to insults, Jiang Ran had never lost. If there hadn't been an injured person nearby today, she wouldn't have needed to lift a finger. She could have just used a variety of insults to make Si Nian question their existence.
……
The commotion from the lantern tower finally alerted the superhumans downstairs.
The patrol team split into two groups: one group went to report the anomaly to Huo Sichan, while the other group went upstairs with their weapons.
After carefully setting up a defensive formation, a superhuman used a wind blade to smash open the door and saw that Miss Jiang was straddling the waist of a strange woman, flexing her wrists. As for the woman being pressed down, she was barely breathing.
After beating Si Nian up, Jiang Ran was in a good mood. She clapped her hands, stood up, and pointed at Si Nian on the ground. "This woman is Huo Xuan's confidante. Remember to drag her out and hand her over to Huo Sichan."
She then pointed to Jiang Suxin by the wall. "This woman is the lover of the eldest young master of the Luo family. Send her to the hospital, and remember to inform Luo Yuting to go to the hospital to see her."
She rubbed her aching wrists and said, "I'm leaving. Huo Lingyin is waiting for me to start a meeting."
The superhumans who barged in, ready to unleash their abilities, "..."
……
Jiang Suxin was taken to the hospital, and Luo Yuting arrived in a hurry within two minutes of receiving the news.
Si Xu followed behind him, a stark contrast to his hurried pace. He walked leisurely, yet managed to keep his distance from Luo Yuting.
As Si Xu passed the room where Huo Xuan was being held, he glanced inside casually.
He stopped in his tracks.
The superhuman standing guard by the door recognized him and had already stood up to greet him.
Seeing his slightly grim expression, the superhuman's heart skipped a beat. He glanced into the ward and his face changed drastically. "How could this be?! Where is he?!"
The ward was empty. Huo Xuan was nowhere to be found.
"Who has been in the ward today?"
Knowing he had made a grave mistake, the superhuman lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Besides the doctor who examined him, there was no one else."
Si Xu raised his chin. "Open the door, I'll go in and take a look."
The superhuman quickly opened the door.
Si Xi entered the ward, walked around the room, checked the windows, and then went to the bathroom.
There was a ventilation vent in the bathroom ceiling, with an exhaust fan installed. At this moment, the exhaust fan was abandoned, leaving only a dark, narrow opening just wide enough for one person to pass through.
"Huh, Huo Xuan escaped from here?" The superhuman stamped his foot, blaming himself. "It's all my fault for being so careless! I'll report this to the captain right away and arrange for someone to chase after him. He's so badly injured, he couldn't have gone far..."
“You said it yourself, he’s so badly injured.” Si Xu shook his head. “We can’t catch up.”
"Huh? Wh-why?" It was precisely because he was badly injured that they had to chase after him. How could a group of superhumans not catch up with an injured person?
Si Xu looked up at the ventilation vent and remained silent.
Huo Xuan's injuries were enough to keep him bedridden for three months, but he had now escaped silently through this ventilation vent...
There were no bloodstains or scratches around the vent, indicating that he was almost fully recovered when he left.
What did the doctor who came to see him today do to make his injuries heal in such a short time?
Who could that person be? One of his trusted confidants, or the mastermind behind him?
Si Xu frowned in thought when a crackling sound suddenly came from the ventilation vent.
"Whoa!"
After a scream, the entire partition collapsed, and a slender figure fell from above, right into Si Xu’s embrace.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
As the dust settled, Jiang Ran saw who had caught her and exclaimed in surprise, "Si Xu, we're really destined to meet!"
Si Xu, "..."
Jiang Ran, "..."
Under Jiang Ran’s innocent gaze, Si Xu smiled lightly, appearing harmless. "Jiang Ran, shouldn't you explain why you fell from the sky?"
