Chapter 118 Wheel of Fortune
Lan Ze lowered his head, his dark blue hair covering his eyebrows. The sunlight came in through the glass roof of the greenhouse and hit Lan Ze's back, but he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
His voice became very hoarse: "I just said what I saw with my foresight. If he really loves you that much, how could he leave you without considering your feelings? If he really loves you, he won't test your feelings for him!"
He raised his head, his eyes were as red as a rabbit's, and for the first time there was something other than emptiness in his eyes, but that content was too complicated.
Lan Ze suppressed his tears and said to her excitedly: "Sui Sui, he doesn't know how to love someone at all. His love is too sharp and will hurt you!"
Qiao Suisui suddenly felt a dull pain in her chest, as if she had been betrayed but the other party was still saying that it was for her own good. He had exposed his identity, which indirectly prevented her from going to school, put her at the forefront of public opinion, and might even affect her sense of belonging and freedom.
"What about you?" She looked at him and asked calmly, "You know everything, but you still chose to point your sword at me?"
She looked at Lan Ze in front of her and suddenly felt that he became so strange.
Hearing this, Lan Ze's face turned pale, and he moved his lips, but he couldn't say anything. His figure swayed like a candle in the wind, as if he was hanging on with only one breath left.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He murmured in a low voice and wanted to reach out to pull her, but Qiao Susu took a step back and avoided his touch.
Lan Ze seemed to be nailed to the spot, his heart broken.
"So what did you see with your foresight?" asked Qiao Susu.
"Your first spouse is the son of the rebel leader, you don't want to..." He wanted to tell you not to get close to him, but he remembered that Qiao Suisui should hate him very much at this time, so what qualifications and position did he have to say such a thing. Lan Ze smiled sadly at himself.
"You mean Bi?"
"His original name is Anubis Connor. He will die by the sword, with his flesh and bones peeled off."
Qiao Suisui's pupils shrank suddenly, her fingertips trembled slightly, and she frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"
Lan Ze nodded, "I saw it in the picture, but I don't know the cause and effect, just some scattered fragments."
It took Qiao Susu a long while to catch her breath. Her heartbeat almost broke through her eardrums, and her eyes were filled with helplessness and fear.
She walked past Lan Ze in a trance and their figures intersected. When she walked past him, Lan Ze stretched out his trembling hand to keep her, but he only touched a ribbon of her skirt. The moment the satin texture slipped from his hand, Lan Ze seemed to have all the strength sucked out of his body.
He closed his eyes in pain, and the tears he had been holding back finally slid down his cheeks.
"Suisui!"
He called her, but he didn't dare to look back.
Lan Ze asked with difficulty in a broken voice: "Can we still be friends?"
Qiao Susu did not answer. Her thoughts were too confused. After a brief pause, she walked away again.
After she returned to the palace, she locked herself up and refused to let anyone disturb her.
Everything made sense now, including Munakata's unusual attitude that night and why he wanted to seriously injure Anubis. He was too proud to tell Lan Ze's prophecy to her in person, which he simply couldn't do. Lan Ze also calculated this point in his character and took this step.
But when Qiao Suisui thought of Bi's ending, she felt breathless. Her hands unconsciously grasped the hem of her skirt tightly, and she muttered to herself: "I have to do something. I can definitely do something to change it."
She forced herself to calm down and sort out her thoughts. When she opened her eyes again, the panic had disappeared. She called Zong Fang first, but lost her patience with the continuous missed calls. She took a team of guards and took the flying ship back to the small building. She planned to go to Sote after getting the ring. Sang Yan heard footsteps coming from the stairs and came out of the room. As expected, she saw Qiao Suisui rushing down the stairs. The two of them, one on the stairs and the other at the bottom of the stairs, suddenly looked at each other. Qiao Suisui remembered the embarrassment when they ate hot pot last time. In addition, they hadn't seen each other recently, so they seemed a little unfamiliar for a while.
Sang Yan's eyes moved back and forth on her face, and he was the first to speak: "Why have you lost weight?"
Qiao Susu was stunned for a moment, then responded with "hmm" and "ah". She didn't know what to say. Plus, she had something on her mind, so she seemed very perfunctory.
Sang Yan was very keen to notice it, but he didn't point it out. He just stepped back two steps and cleared the passage at the staircase. He thought about it and asked out of concern: "Are you okay? I heard about Zong Fang's situation. Do you need help?"
"what?"
Seeing that she seemed unaware of the situation, Sang Yan immediately thought that the two men did not intend to tell her, and realized that he had said the wrong thing.
But it was too late. Qiao Susu was already nervous and even more sensitive at this moment. She asked, "What happened to Zong Fang?"
"The Simon family case caused a lot of controversy some time ago. Now the Federation has issued a notice. He should be executed soon."
22 lives. Even if he is a genius in scientific research and has made great contributions, it is not enough for the Federation to set a precedent for him. Moreover, the pressure from public opinion is so great now that the law must be enforced impartially.
Hearing this, Qiao Susu's legs went limp, and Sang Yan quickly supported her.
"What execution?"
Sang Yan showed some reluctance on his face. Looking at her pale little face, he now understood why the two men chose to hide it from her.
"death penalty."
Qiao Suisui closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling. Sang Yan looked at the thin person in his arms, a trace of self-blame appeared between his brows.
"Don't worry, let's work together and there will always be a solution."
She held the ring in her palm, with huge waves in her eyes.
"There is a way." Qiao Susu said softly.
"I disagree."
late at night.
In the small building, Liberi stood in the living room with a serious face. For the first time, he spoke harshly to Qiao Suisui: "He killed the person in the first place. He thought about the consequences when he did it. And you didn't ask him to do this. Why do you want you to show up in public and clean up his mess now?"
Qiao Suisui looked at him calmly and said, "I just came forward to testify and let everyone know that the truth was that Simon planned to kill me first. At least it can change public opinion and maybe save Zongfang's life."
"Anyway, I don't agree." Liberi turned away angrily.
Luka had been silent since he entered the room. He spoke calmly at this moment, "The principle of the federal court is transparency and openness. All trials are live broadcast in real time. Attending the testimony means that you not only disclose your ancient human identity, but also your appearance and voice. Your future life will be greatly affected. You may not be able to go to school anymore, including your personal freedom. Sui Sui, have you really thought it through?"
