Chapter 224: Heart of the Leopard
Hearing this, Qiao Suisui's throat seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't make any sound. Her lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something, but she found that all the words were drowned by tears, unable to express even one ten-thousandth of what was in her heart.
At this moment, I just feel like my heart is being sewn up densely with needle and thread, and it hurts a little bit.
She subconsciously covered her chest. Karl could no longer care about her and just picked her up horizontally. He glanced coldly at Sang Yan and Zong Fang, with some suppressed anger on his face.
"Let's go back first."
Because Karl's residence was in the Federation, which was the closest, the four of them came here.
This was the first time that Qiao Susu came to her and Karl's home, but at this time she had no time to care about the tables and chairs provided here.
The three of them picked out and told her about everything that had happened over the past decade. Everyone tacitly agreed to keep it brief, but with Qiao Susu's skillful questioning, she still learned a lot of the details. The rest of the details were something they refused to tell no matter how they were asked.
The living room fell into deathly silence.
Sang Yan took the lead in trying to change the subject: "When I was in the Freedom Alliance, I tried to find the person in this photo."
He took out a photo, which was the one he and Qiao Susu found in the room where the archbishop was assassinated.
"You must know this person."
Qiao Suisui frowned as she looked at the familiar face, and heard Sang Yan say, "His real name is Li Bo, and he later changed his name to Li."
She looked at the man in surprise. She didn't think so before, but when Sang Yan told her the results of the investigation, she realized that this man was clearly Dr. Li when he was young. It was just that the man in the photo was very different from Dr. Li in reality in terms of age and temperament, so she didn't remember him immediately.
Qiao Susu quickly caught a message.
"So the Archbishop was assassinated by Dr. Li. He and Li were both members of the rebel army at the time, but they went their separate ways after surviving and have not seen each other for many years. But why did Dr. Li kill the Archbishop?"
Zong Fang said: "From what I know, the former head of the Federation received inside information from the rebels, which led to the raid. In the operation, not only did they kill Dante Connor in public, but they also captured and killed some of the rebels. Anubis was also captured in order to save the rest. He stayed behind to cover the others, giving them a chance to survive."
This is also why Sang Yan wanted to settle the remaining rebels, because he knew that these people were exchanged for Anubis' life, and Anubis was special to Qiao Susu.
Anubis has always been a pain that she was unwilling to face. Now, after receiving one bad news after another, Qiao Susu seemed to have lost her perception.
"So Li is a traitor."
Sang Yan nodded.
If he hadn't betrayed the rebels, perhaps nothing would have happened to Anubis.
Qiao Suisui raised her hand and pressed her brow, and Karl immediately squatted in front of her nervously and asked, "Headache?"
"I'm a little tired and want to rest."
Zongfang seemed to want to say something but stopped.
Karl immediately said, “I’ll accompany you.”
Sang Yan didn't say anything, but kept looking at her.
Qiao Suisui shook her head, "I want to be alone for a while."
Karl took her upstairs and settled her in the master bedroom. He wanted to stay a little worriedly, but was pushed out by Qiao Suisui.
She lay on the bed, covered her head with the quilt, and curled up in it, crying silently.
She kept telling herself that it would change, it could change, it would definitely change.
She just needed to release her emotions, so she cried and fell asleep.
Karl had been standing at the door, motionless.
After an unknown amount of time, his ears moved, and then he slowly and silently opened the door and walked in.
Karl gently lifted the quilt, and his first action was to confirm her breathing.
After confirming that she was okay, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he changed into his animal form, lying on the bed, resting his head on his two front paws, like a big cat, quietly guarding her.
downstairs.
Zong Fang was in a daze, and Sang Yan asked him, "What should we do next? This kind of blow will cause the greatest harm to Sui Sui."
Three people died one after another. No one would be able to accept it.
Zong Fang knew this very well, so he kept putting it off.
Scorsese's situation is different from Anubis's. Qiao Susu has some fledgling complex in her feelings for him. Zong Fang knows that no matter how much he loves her, he can never replace that part of Scorsese.
Liberi was the one who had been with her from the beginning and had taken extra good care of her. Now that both of them were gone, Zongfang didn't know how to help her get over her pain.
Divert attention?
Thinking of this, he suddenly glanced at Sang Yan.
Maybe someone new could take her mind off for a while?
The next second, Zong Fang immediately radiated coldness. He felt that he was crazy and actually began to push her to others. He was not Scorsese after all, and he could not be so magnanimous.
Sang Yan was stunned by Zong Fang's gaze, not knowing why he suddenly became so murderous towards him.
Qiao Susu had a good sleep, but when she woke up it was already midnight.
She felt a little dry in the mouth and sat up from the bed. The light around her was dim. As soon as she moved, a hand came around her waist.
Zongfang hugged her from behind and asked softly, "Would you like some water?"
She said "hmm" and the man got out of bed to pour some water. She felt her eyes were a little swollen and wanted to get out of bed to wash her face, but she stepped on something warm and furry beside the bed.
Qiao Suisui was startled.
The snow leopard raised its head and rubbed her calf, its tail wagging like a dog.
She called out "Karl" and the snow leopard rubbed her again.
She was just about to ask him why he changed into a beast when she saw him stretch his head over and rub her hand with his ears.
"You want me to touch your ears?"
The snow leopard licked her fingertips.
Qiao Susui smiled slightly. She understood that Karl wanted to make her happy in this way.
She reached out and touched his ears, then scratched his chin. The snow leopard squinted his eyes in comfort, as docile as a cat.
When Zong Fang came back with the cup of water, he saw her sitting on the edge of the bed, her white and tender feet stepping on the snow leopard's body and rubbing the snow leopard's face with her hands.
He walked over and handed her a cup of warm water. Seeing that she only drank two sips, he was afraid that she would be dehydrated from crying, so he said, "Drink it up."
Then he carried her in to take a bath, supervised her to eat something, and then let her go to play.
Qiao Sui Sui rested her head on the snow leopard's belly and lay on the carpet. Seeing that Zong Fang was almost done with his work, she said, "I have something I want to discuss with you."
Zongfang came over and sat down, knowing that it must be related to Scorsese and the others.
Sure enough, Qiao Suisui said, "I want to go back to the past and change the current outcome."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt her head go empty, and the next second it was held by a big hand.
It turned out that Carl had turned back into human form.
"What do you mean by going back to the past? Are you leaving again?"
Zongfang was calmer than him, but his face also looked a little bad.
