Chapter 15: Gu Ran Is Actually Also A Scientific Research Genius?
Looking at the silent Gu Qingqing, Lin Fan continued,
“Although he was indeed a kind person when he was young, that was in the past. People change, and the former Gu Ran is dead. What remains now is a tyrant despised by countless people. You don’t have to feel so guilty.”
Gu Qingqing remained silent.
She wasn’t the baby girl in the light screen, not the sister he picked up?
It wasn’t impossible, but the possibility was too small.
A coincidence?
How many such coincidences could there be?
Moreover, as the memories of Gu Ran were replayed on the light screen, she began to recall some vague memories.
Not feel guilty?
When she saw Gu Ran risking his life for her, a sister he only picked up, how could she not feel guilty?
If only I could have persuaded Brother to stay back then.
This was her deep self-blame. If she had been able to keep her brother with her to listen to their teacher’s teachings together, he would never have gone astray later.
However, that period of memory was something she just couldn’t recall. She vaguely remembered that something major had happened, something she didn’t want to remember at all.
So Lin Fan’s words did move her, but it was his suggestion to continue watching Gu Ran’s memories that affected her the most.
She had been injured by Cheng Youmeng and was now trapped in this water prison by the Sea Queen Ariel, unable to escape.
If she continued to resist, there would be no outcome. She simply couldn’t fight against so many powerful beings after the space interference device had been reactivated and take Gu Ran away.
Moreover, Lin Fan wasn’t entirely wrong—without blood relations, it was impossible to fuse with a power crystal. No one had ever broken this iron rule. Although she was almost certain she was the sister he had picked up, she still didn’t understand why Gu Ran would want to take her power crystal.
Had he found a way to break the iron rule?
Or was there some other hidden reason?
At this moment, what she most wanted to understand was what happened afterward.
At this moment, a cold voice sounded.
“The function of a power crystal is not limited to fusion to inherit abilities. It can also be used for research. After Lord Leng Feng passed away, you are now the only one in the world with spatial abilities. His research talents are unparalleled, second to none, so if he coveted your power crystal, it may not have been to fuse it himself but because he discovered some new method to utilize the crystal.”
Everyone looked toward the source of the voice. Not far away, as the elevator door opened, a woman in a white lab coat walked out.
She wore glasses, her long, beautiful hair was silver-white and draped over her shoulders, and a beauty mark adorned her lip.
She exuded an aura of both intellectual elegance and icy indifference.
Xue Xiling!
The world’s most intelligent and most beautiful research goddess, she was also the principal of the newly rebuilt Lanxin University.
Xue Xiling cast a hateful glance at Gu Ran, who was trapped in the prism-shaped crystal, and then turned to Gu Qingqing, saying, “No one understands his research abilities better than I do. You all usually regard him only as a peerless powerhouse, but I understand that he possesses the ability to mass-produce strong individuals.”
Xue Xiling’s words left everyone exchanging glances.
They truly hadn’t realized that the tyrant was not only a genius with abilities but also a research genius.
However, they did understand the enmity between Xue Xiling and Gu Ran.
Xue Xiling was now the principal of Lanxin University, which had been rebuilt after the original was destroyed by that tyrant. Her father, who was the former principal, was also killed by him.
Xue Xiling’s words further emboldened Lin Fan. He said to Gu Qingqing, “Yes, we were all trapped in a misconception earlier, thinking that the tyrant wanted to seize your power crystal to gain spatial abilities. But if he’s a research fanatic, that explains everything.”
“Qingqing, even if he did adopt you, even if you were the baby girl in the light screen, you don’t owe him anything anymore. He’s already disregarded your life and tried to use your power crystal as research material.”
But no matter how Lin Fan tried to persuade her, Gu Qingqing remained silent.
This made Lin Fan’s hatred for Gu Ran grow even stronger.
“Ah, how interesting. Human emotions are truly complex. No wonder you can create so many intriguing stories,” Ariel clapped her hands as if applauding the drama she had just witnessed.
“A human research genius? I see that your relationship with that tyrant is not simple either. Human love is truly complicated, unlike us mermaids, who are so much more straightforward.”
Hearing Ariel’s words, Lin Fan quickly glanced at Xue Xiling. He had designs on this cold, white-haired beauty as well. If he could bring her into his harem, his side would rapidly grow stronger.
However, seeing the complex expression on Xue Xiling’s face, his heart sank. Could it be that even she, who was so devoted to research, had some unclear entanglement with that tyrant?
Could it be that of all the harem members he had his eyes on, only Ariel had no ambiguous ties with that tyrant?
Thinking of this, Lin Fan felt both relieved and a surge of jealousy.
Why did all the beauties he desired seem to have been touched first by that tyrant, with some ambiguous connection?
But as long as they were still untouched, that was all that mattered.
Thinking this, Lin Fan’s desire to kill Gu Ran became even more urgent.
“Everyone, let’s continue watching the tyrant’s memories. Qingqing, didn’t you want to know what happened next? Then watch carefully.”
Lin Fan smiled as he addressed everyone.
The reason Lin Fan suggested this was twofold: first, to shift everyone’s attention and ease the tension on the scene; second, once the tyrant’s crimes were fully revealed, Gu Qingqing would surely lose all illusions about him.
As for Gu Ran, trapped in the prism-shaped crystal, he was somewhat bewildered by what was happening outside. He hadn’t expected Gu Qingqing to become so agitated and want to break the thing and release him before he even had a chance to unleash his ultimate move.
This made him quite excited, but unfortunately, he was soon restrained by the Sea Queen Ariel, who then teamed up with Cheng Youmeng to trap him.
“But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, my goal is to completely whitewash. Being released ahead of time would be a pleasant surprise. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll just stick to the original plan.”
“Just wait and see how I deal with the two of you later.”
However, the next critical event he had carefully planned was about to unfold, so Gu Ran focused his attention once again.
The scene on the light screen continued.
