Chapter 240 I Was Counter-Taken by the Male Lead (28)
Chen Qi was indeed a psychopath. He enjoyed seeing helpless animals staring at him in despair, their pitiful cries and terrified eyes making his blood boil.
But gradually he became less satisfied with these cats and dogs. He felt that the emotional feedback these animals gave him was too one-dimensional and their lives were too fragile. He died before he was fully satisfied, which made him very unhappy.
Chen Qi suddenly had a bold idea: what if it were a human?
If a knife cuts a person, wouldn't it make a more beautiful sound? Just thinking about it gave him an impulse, and he couldn't wait to realize this idea.
So he began looking for a suitable candidate. Chen Qi liked things that were gentle, beautiful, and pure, but he searched in vain. Just when he was about to give up on this crazy idea, Jiang Rou appeared.
She met every requirement in his heart: pure beauty, just the right amount of gentleness, and every move she made captivated him. He could already imagine what those wonderful emotions would look like on Jiang Rou's face.
Jiang Rou is an outsider and cannot use external force to harm the people in the small world, but that doesn't mean that scum can be let off the hook.
021's eyes lit up upon hearing Jiang Rou's words, and he immediately nodded and assured her, "Rou Rou, don't worry, I won't let this scumbag get away with it."
Jiang Rou's eyes gleamed coldly. So many lives had been lost at his hands, so naturally he had to taste what it felt like to be on the verge of death, and what it was like to be utterly disgraced.
Chen Qi was awakened by a sharp pain. When he opened his eyes, he saw a snow-white ceiling. Just as he was wondering what was going on, he found that his limbs were firmly chained and he could not move at all.
His heart tightened, and just as he was about to speak, he realized he couldn't speak—no, he couldn't speak human language, because when he opened his mouth, he made a cat-like meow.
Fear gripped him, and he flailed his limbs violently, trying to break free of the shackles, but to no avail.
Suddenly, a voice that sounded all too familiar came from behind. Chen Qi turned around and saw his own face. He was horrified. Who was this person? Why did they look exactly like him?
Gradually, he realized that it wasn't just that they looked alike, but that this person was him.
He watched with his own eyes the sound of the knife cutting through flesh, felt the excruciating pain, and screamed uncontrollably from the agony.
The shrill, mournful sound did not stop the person in front of him; instead, it excited him even more. His smile deepened, revealing a row of neat teeth that, far from being sunny, exuded a sinister aura.
And so, Chen Qi watched as the knife sliced into his body, the pain causing him to gasp for breath, yet he showed no signs of fainting until he bled to death.
The creature 021 in the void felt disgusted by the sight. There was nothing it could do; the scene was too gory. It even curled its lip in disgust. The next moment, the scene changed, and a new scene appeared.
Chen Qi screamed all night long, and the whole floor could hear him, but no matter what they did, they couldn't wake him up, as if he were possessed.
021 hums arrogantly, "A bunch of bumpkins, what do you mean by 'possessed by evil spirits'? It's a superior species."
Many people know about this, and many people recorded videos of it. Once it was spread, Chen Qi became famous, the kind of person that people recognize when he walks down the street.
Having had nightmares all night and being stared at like a monkey all day, Chen Qi was very unhappy and eager to vent. However, the video had spread too widely, and his face was captured very clearly, so many people recognized him. It was too dangerous to act now.
Chen Qi's face grew increasingly grim. He didn't want Chen Qi to know who filmed the video. Although he hadn't slept well all night, he dared not close his eyes again; he was truly terrified.
The news from 021 was being broadcast to Jiang Rou in real time. Knowing Chen Qi's reaction, she simply said:
"Not enough."
021 immediately replied, "Okay, let's make his experience even more exciting tonight," and then ran off happily. Chen Qi is now its toy.
As Jiang Rou and Xie Nan were about to walk out the gate, they saw the understated yet luxurious car parked at the entrance. A woman with outstanding temperament was standing in front of the car. The combination of the luxury car and the beautiful woman quickly attracted everyone's attention.
Qin Nuan waited at the school gate for a long time, clutching the strap of her bag tightly. She had come to find Jiang Rou after she got the documents.
Her intuition was correct; Jiang Rou was her younger sister.
Thinking of this, Qin Nuan's eyes welled up with tears again. She suppressed her emotions and stared intently at everyone who walked out of the campus.
Suddenly the figure appeared. Before her mind could react, her body moved faster and walked in front of the person.
Jiang Rou looked at the figure that suddenly appeared and secretly guessed that it knew. She kept her expression unchanged.
"Sister, is something the matter?"
Upon hearing the word "sister," Qin Nuan couldn't hold back her tears, which she had only heard in her dreams.
Seeing the person suddenly start crying, Jiang Rou was at a loss. She reached out to hand Qin Nuan a tissue, but her hand was suddenly grabbed and she was hugged.
Jiang Rou was startled by this action. She looked at Xie Nan for help. Xie Nan frowned and wanted to step forward to separate the two. What was wrong with Qin Nuan?
Yes, he knew Qin Nuan, Xu Xi's sister-in-law. She single-handedly destroyed the Meng family and then established the Qin family. She was a prominent figure.
What's wrong with her right now?
Before his hand could even touch Jiang Rou, he heard Qin Nuan crying and laughing, "Yes, I'm the older sister, I'm the older sister, you're my younger sister, Jiao Jiao, I'm the older sister."
Her words made Jiang Rou, who was struggling, stop moving. She looked stunned, clearly shocked by the news.
Xie Nan suddenly remembered something: Qin Nuan had a lost younger sister, a fact known to many.
Nothing else, after Qin Nuan established the Qin family, she also issued a missing persons notice, and many people came to her door, making the matter very popular.
Even after Qin Nuanying's untimely death, all of Qin's shares were donated to a website for finding relatives, which was trending on social media for several days.
As Xie Nan's thoughts returned, he felt that things had taken an unexpected turn. The younger sister that Qin Nuan had been searching for so desperately before her death was being slandered and defamed, and even after her death, no one claimed her body.
Thinking about this, Xie Nan's heart was in turmoil. He took a deep breath to suppress his emotions. Now was not the time to settle scores. He could sense that Xu Xi was acting strangely.
He glanced at the people staring at them, pulled the still-dazed Jiang Rou out of Qin Nuan's arms, met Qin Nuan's sharp gaze without flinching, and spoke to her calmly:
"It's not convenient to talk here, let's find a quiet place."
Qin Nuan also noticed the gazes around her. She nodded, feeling a pang of sadness as she looked at her younger sister's affection for Xie Nan.
