Chapter 83: Childhood Memories
After searching the room inside and out, Jiang Ran sat on the bed in a daze, propping her chin on her hand.
There was nothing... Why did Qin Huai come here?
Jiang Ran sighed as she grasped the key in her pocket. She lay on the bed, and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
Jiang Ranran kept this key very carefully in the interlayer of her backpack. It must be something very important.
However, she couldn't remember what the key was used for.
The girl raised her hands to cover her eyes in frustration.
Or, could it be that Qin Huai had taken the thing away? If so, why would Qin Huai know the Jiang family's secret? Who told him?
Sigh, come to think of it, not only did she not get suddenly enlightened, but she felt that she was surrounded by more mysteries.
……
"Ranran~ Ranran~ Jiang Ranran!" When she was about to fall asleep, a voice kept calling her name in her ears, pulling her out of her sleep.
Jiang Ran sat up a little irritably. Just as she was about to speak, she heard an angry voice beside her. "Shen Yang! Stop calling me, or I’ll beat you again!"
She was stunned for a moment and looked sideways. She saw a cute little girl jumping from the bed to the ground, rushing over and opening the door menacingly.
Immediately afterwards, the youth’s screams came from the corridor.
"Ouch! Jiang Ranran, be gentle! My ears are about to fall off!"
"How many times have I told you not to call me Jiang Ranran? It's so disgusting!"
"Then what should I call you? I can’t call you Jiang Ranran, and you don't like to be called Ranran. Why are you women so troublesome..."
"Hmm." The little girl was silent for a moment and said tentatively, "Why don’t you call me Jiang Ran?"
With a loud bang, something in Jiang Ran’s brain exploded, leaving her mind blank.
When Jiang Ran came to her senses, she had already gotten off the bed. She walked quickly to the door, and stared at the little girl in the corridor.
"Okay, Jiang Ran then." The youth rubbed his red ears and muttered, "There’s no difference from Jiang Ranran."
"There's a difference." The little girl looked only four or five years old, but she spoke in a mature manner. "A name is the soul of a person. If you call the wrong name, it’s equivalent to erasing the existence of that person. Do you understand, little brat?"
The boy widened his eyes and bared his teeth. "Jiang Ran, who are you calling a little brat? I'm your brother!"
"Alright, alright, I got it, Oldest Cousin." The little girl waved her hand perfunctorily. Just as she was about to speak, she heard footsteps coming from the stairs.
She was stunned for a moment, then immediately put on an obedient expression.
A young woman with a graceful figure and a gentle temperament came upstairs. When she saw the little girl, she smiled gently and said softly, "Ranran, you’re awake?"
"Yes!" the little girl responded, ran over to hold the woman's hand, and looked up at her. "Mom, what are we having for dinner?"
"You." The woman touched the little girl’s head. "You just eat and sleep every day. It's only three o'clock in the afternoon. Go out and play with your brother for a while."
The little girl muttered, "There’s nothing to play..."
"Your father will be back in the evening. We’ll go out for dinner in the evening."
"Dad is coming back?" The little girl showed a surprised expression, and thoughts raced through her mind. "Why is he back? Isn't Dad very busy at work?"
The woman smiled softly. "Ranran, have you forgotten that today is your birthday?"
Birthday...
Jiang Ranran’s birthday...
Jiang Ran slowly opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
Did she fall asleep just now? She fell asleep, and dreamed of some strange things.
Perhaps some fragments of her memory began to gradually awaken because she returned to her familiar home.
Jiang Ran sat up. It was dark outside the window. She rubbed her cheeks, then got up and went out.
It was in this corridor that the little girl said her name was Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran.
So, whose memory was it that she just recalled?
Hers? Or Jiang Ranran's?
……
In the office of the military command building, the man put down the document in his hand. He tapped the table with his fingertips rhythmically, pondered for a moment, and said to the adjutant beside him, "Zhong Qian, contact Xiaobai and ask him to bring Youyou back as soon as possible."
Not knowing what was written in the document, Zhong Qian hesitated and said, "Qin Huai..."
"Don't worry about him." Shen Yang threw the document on the table, put his hands behind his head, and leaned on the chair. "We don't have to worry. Someone will handle it –– ask Xiaobai to come back."
"Yes."
After receiving the order, Zhong Qian was about to exit when the door of the office was pushed open.
The person did not knock on the door or approach, but stood at the door, stopping the two people in the office from leaving.
"Oh?" Shen Yang subconsciously sat up straight when he saw the young man, and frowned. "Professor Si, you’re here. What's the matter?"
Si Xu's eyes swept around the office and stopped on Shen Yang. "Give me the information on Qin Huai."
Hearing the name, Shen Yang frowned slightly and replied seriously, "Hasn't the information on Qin Huai been given to the laboratory?"
"You know what I'm talking about." There was air flowing on Si Xu’s fingertips, and he looked impatient. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you."
Shen Yang, "..." This person was at it again! He threatened to kill me every time there was a disagreement. Did he think I was really afraid of him? It was just for the sake of...
Fine, he was really afraid of Si Xu.
After all, when this guy said he wanted to kill someone, he would really do it, and kill with a single blow.
Zhong Qian saw that his boss was put on the spot, so he forced himself to ignore the man's murderous intent and took two steps forward. Just as he was about to speak, a force came up against him and pinned him against the wall, causing the whole building to tremble.
Si Xu didn't even look at Zhong Qian. He just said to Shen Yang, "Hurry up, otherwise..."
"I know, I know!" Otherwise, he would kill him. Shen Yang was tired of hearing that!
Shen Yang got up from his seat. He took a few steps to the filing cabinet and rummaged through it.
After finally digging out the document bag with "confidential" written on it at the bottom of the drawer, Shen Yang flung it to Si Xu. "Here!"
Si Xu took it and opened it in front of Shen Yang. After reading it carefully, he raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yang. "Bewitchment?"
The Shen family named Qin Huai's mutated psychic superpower "Bewitchment". It was an implicit attack power that could control people or zombies through the mind. The danger level was S.
"Don't ask me, I don't know anything." Shen Yang raised his hands to show his innocence. "After I was given this information, I took a look at it and then put it away."
"Do you think I’ll believe you?" Si Xu sneered and took a step forward.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Shen Yang retreated to the cabinet, fuming, "I've given you the information. Don't go overboard!"
This guy had the same expression after he got Pei Wan'er killed back then, begging for mercy... Hah, it must have been really difficult for him.
Si Xu wondered if Shen Yang would forget his true self after wearing a mask for a long time.
……
After waiting for a moment, there was no movement on the other side. Shen Yang opened his eyes tremblingly. There was no one at the door.
"Phew—" the man let out a long breath, and did not forget to kick the adjutant when he passed him. "Are you dead?"
All the bones in Zhong Qian's body felt like they had been run over, and the pain was excruciating at the slightest movement.
He endured the pain and replied in a muffled voice, "I survived –– Professor Si showed mercy."
Fortunately, Si Xu showed mercy. Otherwise, he would have been crushed by now.
"Captain Shen, is it okay to just give him the information on Qin Huai?"
"It's okay." Shen Yang slumped on the chair, closing his eyes and humming, "That person has no use anymore. It’s okay even if he dies. It doesn't matter."
