Chapter 107 Human Heart
Soter.

In the dark streets where no one was paying attention, a tall black figure stepped into the night. He avoided all the eyes along the way and came to an abandoned factory. A young man in expensive clothes had been waiting for a long time.

"Brother, how are you?"

Lan Ze did not turn around, his mental power had already enveloped the black shadow.

The man took off the hood of his cloak and it was Neo, who had been missing for a long time.

"It seems that I was right to spare your life that day, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see this wonderful show today." Neo walked up to him, looked at his brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and squinted his eyes and said, "You have changed."

Lan Ze smiled gently, with a kind expression on his face, and said, "Is there?"

Neo felt a little creepy. He didn't waste time on small talk. After all, there was no real brotherhood. He said in short: "Mongfang has asked Soto not to interfere in the research of ancient humans, and even used his father's power for this. Your plan is doomed."

Lan Ze looked ahead, his eyes were empty and he said, "Isn't this a good result?"

Neo frowned: "You never wanted that human to return to Sote from the beginning?"

Lan Ze lowered his eyes, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"She hates being coerced the most. It doesn't matter whether she returns to Sote or not. What matters is that she breaks up with Munakata."

Neo didn't know how Lan Ze found him. After he failed to seize the throne, he had been avoiding Libery's pursuit. During the time when he occupied the royal court, he obtained Qiao Susu's medical records and learned the secret of her identity. Then he threatened Libery by exposing Qiao Susu's identity, preventing him from killing him temporarily.

Coincidentally, he saw a reporter secretly scraping information that day, claiming to find information about a female. He immediately recognized Qiao Suisui based on the blurry photo of her back. But he did not intend to sell her medical records to the reporter, because this was the only bargaining chip he had, and if he could not use it properly, it would be a mistake.

But Lan Ze found him and asked him to sell the information to reporters.

Neo knew his younger brother. When he was young, Lan Ze was soft-hearted and simple-minded. He couldn't bear to punish even the servants for doing something wrong. He didn't understand why his father wanted him to inherit and he refused to accept it. So when Lan Ze proposed his exchange conditions, he didn't take Lan Ze seriously at all.

But it was this kind brother who revealed his hiding place to the people of Liberi, making him run around every day. In the end, Neo couldn't stand it anymore and had to compromise, asking Lan Ze to help him make a comeback in exchange for Qiao Suisui's case.

That's why there was a sudden revelation later, and he didn't expect that the news would be followed by a press conference of the research center. Everything was too coincidental. Behind the situation, it seemed that there was a mastermind behind the scenes, quietly watching everything happen as expected.

Neo began to not understand Lan Ze.

"What do you want to do? Zongfang is not someone you can easily mess with. If you use him, aren't you afraid that it will backfire on you?"

Lan Ze smiled calmly and said, "If that day comes for me, I will be willing to do it for her. Besides, Zongfang has too many uses."

Lan Ze is precocious, and his special talents and experiences make him more insightful than others in human nature. Such people can become gods or demons with a single thought, and are the best at manipulating people's hearts. Gorba III saw this point clearly in his youngest son, so he tried his best to promote him to the throne. Although Neo is capable, he is far inferior to him in this respect.

He told Zongfang Qiao Susu about the first spouse in order to kill two birds with one stone.

In his foresight, he saw Qiao Suisui and the rebel leader's son holding a marriage ceremony. The scene was very fragmentary and vague, and he could only infer it based on the few scenes he saw.

Lan Ze was so worried about this that he couldn't sleep. He even wrote a letter to her before leaving, just to let her know the other person's identity and let her make a careful choice. Falling in love with someone you shouldn't love without knowing it was a disaster for Lan Ze. He didn't want her to get hurt.

But fate played tricks on her, and the letter was not handed to her. Lan Ze thought that this might be a chance given to him by God.

A chance for him to stand beside her with justification.

Among these men, Scorsese and Liberi only benefit her but not threaten her. Lan Ze will not choose to touch them, but only plan to mediate in the future. However, there is one person who must be eliminated, that is Anubis. But Lan Ze is unwilling to do it himself, which will make Sui Sui hate him, so he must find a sharp "knife".

At the banquet, he planted a "demon in Zongfang's heart" and told him that Sui Sui's true heart only belonged to one person, and that person was not him at all.

This man is very strong and a rare genius, but he has only one shortcoming, which is his extreme ego. Such a person does not allow others to covet his things, not to mention that he has a strong possessiveness towards Sui Sui. What he can't get, others can't dream of getting. There is only a fine line between genius and madness, and that line is Qiao Sui Sui.

So Lan Ze set up a series of traps, one after another. First, he made Zongfang mentally unstable, which led to the estrangement between the two. He also designed a plan to make Qiao Susu mistakenly believe that Zongfang was forcing her to lock her up in Sote. During this period, he only needed to wait and see, allowing the conflict between the two to ferment.

Zong Fang is like a jar of strong liquor. It feels addictive at first, but if she drinks strong liquor every day, no matter how much she likes it, she will definitely know that this liquor is harmful to her. Not to mention, if she has a wound in her mouth, strong liquor will only stimulate her to feel more pain.

Lan Ze believed that Qiao Suisui would distance herself from Zong Fang after this incident, which Zong Fang could not accept at all. In addition, he told Zong Fang about the prophecy of the first spouse, and this man would definitely do something extreme. This not only made it impossible for him to win back Qiao Suisui, but also eliminated Anubis.

Neo was completely unaware of these twists and turns. He didn't think Lan Ze had any ability to strategize and understand people's hearts. He just said contemptuously: "Anyway, I have done what you asked me to do. Now it's time to tell me my conditions."

Lan Ze smiled more harmlessly and said politely, "Of course. Big brother, I already have a plan to help you make a comeback."

Neo looked serious and asked, "What is it?"

"Come here, no one can hear this."

Neo approached, leaned forward slightly, and listened to Lan Ze say: "Brother, I actually predicted your ending. In the end, your legs were chopped off by the swords of Liberi's people, and your body was thrown into the deserted planet."

"Ho!"

Neo suddenly grabbed Lan Ze's forearm, looked down in disbelief, and found that he was holding a golden dagger. The dagger went straight into his chest, and blood bloomed on his clothes like flowers.

"you"

Lan Ze was still smiling, his expression unchanged, and continued: "I think this ending is too tragic, why don't you let me change it for you. Brother, don't worry, I will bury you and father together."

The young man drew his knife, and the tall man fell to his knees, eyes wide open, and unwillingly took his last breath.

Lan Ze took out a handkerchief and wiped the dagger. His azure eyes were like the sea, quiet and innocent.

He slowly raised his head, closed his eyes, and used his talent. The consciousness in his mind seemed to travel through tens of thousands of scenes, and finally stopped at one scene.

The environment in the picture seems to be the corridor of a school dormitory, and the door number 702 is splashed with blood.

Lan Ze smiled, then opened his eyes and murmured to himself: "It's almost time, she needs me by her side."
