Lin Ran raised his hand and glanced at his watch.

"I installed a top-level security door. Based on how fast he's breaking it down, we still have three minutes."

"Let's talk."

Lin Ran started counting the timer in front of her.

Jiang Wanqing looked at the unfamiliar face in front of her, bit her lip, and half-leaned on the edge of the sofa.

She is now very weak and has pain all over her body.

"What do you want to talk about? Is there anything else we can talk about?"

Lin Ran's captivating eyes were fixed on her pale face.

In order to come back to see her, he actually suffered a lot.

He escaped death, changed his face, and took on a whole new identity.

Fortunately, he survived the brink of life and death.

But Jiang Wanqing was not by his side.

Lin Ran began to think that Jiang Wanqing was at least living a happy life, so he would not bother her anymore.

But the intelligence gathered privately is indeed...

She was driven to collapse by Gu Shiche, suffered from severe depression, and was determined to commit suicide by using toothpaste tubes in the hospital.

When they met in the mall that day, Lin Ran deliberately put a monitoring device in the peripheral device he gave to Jiang Wanqing.

If she was really happy, Lin Ran would not bother her anymore.

But Jiang Wanqing is not like that.

Coming back to his senses, Lin Ran chuckled.

"Leave him and come to me."

Jiang Wanqing shook her head and refused resolutely.

Lin Ran clenched his hands hanging by his legs, suppressing his emotions.

"Don't you want to leave?"

"I don't want to." Jiang Wanqing's face was determined and her voice was low and hoarse.

"But Gu Shiche is driving you crazy!"

"I can take you away from here, and we can have a new life, just like I promised before."

Not far away, the sound of banging on the door continued with a loud bang.

Jiang Wanqing lowered her head, so that Lin Ran could not see her expression at the moment, let alone the sneer on her lips.

Gu Shiche drove her crazy.

He, Lin Ran, couldn’t he?

Lin Ran still wanted to persuade Jiang Wanqing: "Wanqing, didn't you notice?"

"All the pain you are going through now is because of Gu Shiche!"

"You have been hurt by him and by the people around him. He is a psychopath!"

"Qingqing, maybe you don't know this, but Gu Shiche suffers from multiple personality disorder. He's really a lunatic!"

"Maybe one day he will kill you! Wanqing, everything I said is true!"

"If you don't believe me, I can show you the intelligence I've gathered. Gu Shiche is truly mentally ill."

"I would never do this to you, I..."

Lin Ran's eyes were filled with sadness. He stepped forward, grabbed her shoulders and shook her.

Jiang Wanqing interrupted him.

"Do you remember... the first day we met? In that alley behind the university."

Her tone was extremely calm.

"I had just finished my general studies class, and I was holding a pile of books. That day... I might have had a fever, and I felt dizzy."

"I wasn't feeling well and wanted to get back to the dorm quickly, so I took a shortcut through that less-traveled alley."

Lin Ran's eyelids twitched, and he looked away calmly.

Of course he knew what happened that day.

Song Churan directed and acted in a good play of a hero saving a beauty.

He had someone put drugs in Jiang Wanqing's water cup in advance.

Jiang Wanqing felt dizzy and chose to take a shortcut back to the dormitory.

Then he found a few thugs from outside the school and surrounded Jiang Wanqing in a muddy alley in the back mountain.

The gang kept making obscene comments to her, saying disgusting things, and even came up to her and touched her and pulled her clothes.

Song Churan hid behind a big tree and watched all this indifferently.

When Jiang Wanqing was in despair, he jumped out and saved her.

Jiang Wanqing slowly raised her tearful face.

"Several thugs surrounded me and I was very scared."

"Then you showed up and beat them up so badly that they ran away in panic."

"Take off your clothes, cover me with them, and lift me out of the mire."

"The first thing he said to me was, 'Don't be afraid, junior, Senior Song is here.'"

She choked and looked straight at him.

"You saved me. At that moment... I was really grateful to you. I didn't think too much about it."

"So... when you were locked up in the basement by Gu Shiche, I wanted to save you too."

"I really want to save you."

Jiang Wanqing smiled while crying.

Her tone was calm: "That night, I rescued you from Gu Shiche and sent you to the hotel."

"That same night, I was surrounded by a few thugs when I came downstairs."

She wiped away her tears with her dirty sleeves.

I couldn't stop crying.

"I was pushed to the ground by a few thugs, my clothes were torn and I was cursed by them."

"When I looked up into the sky, I saw ... the lights on the top floor of the hotel were on."

"A dark figure stood at the railing, looking calmly at me as I was nearly humiliated."

Lin Ran paused, his Adam's apple rolling up and down.

"At that moment I understood...that you were the one who brought the gang downstairs in the hotel."

"The first time we met, the thugs who blocked me in the back hills were also recruited by you."

"It's just...that time at the hotel, you had no intention of saving me. You wanted to punish me with such extreme means."

"You want to watch me being insulted by those people and then pretend that 'I will still love you'."

"If Gu Shiche hadn't come, I might..."

Jiang Wanqing smiled, her back straight, and looked at him with cold eyes.

Lin Ran froze in place, his scalp tingling as he listened to her words.

He stretched out his hand and tried to hold her wrist, but Jiang Wanqing dodged it.

Jiang Wanqing looked disgusted: "So...what's the difference between you and a real lunatic?"

"What else did you say... You would never do this to me."

"At least, Gu Shiche won't use despicable means against me."

Jiang Wanqing's voice trembled slightly, and every word she spoke was filled with disappointment.

He could bear to watch himself being almost defiled by gangsters and beaten like this just for a show.

Lin Ran lowered his eyes, unable to hide the regret in them.

His voice trembled, and he said something against his will: "Qingqing...I don't know what you are talking about."

"I haven't done anything to...hurt you."

"Those thugs have nothing to do with me."

Jiang Wanqing stared at his unfamiliar face and was silent for a long time.

Then she smiled silently.

Three minutes were about to pass, and the fate between her and Song Churan, no... and Lin Ran had long been severed.

The door was kicked open.

Gu Shiche stood at the door, emitting a murderous aura.

He cracked his fingers until they made a crackling sound and slowly walked into Lin Ran's villa.

Lin Ran sneered, turned around and stared at Gu Shiche silently.

The two faced off silently.

Gu Shiche lowered his voice: "Long time no see, Mr. Lin Ran."

"No, I should... call you Song Churan." A cold light flashed in his eyes and he slowly walked forward.

The dusty leather shoes stepped on the gray marble floor with firm and powerful steps.

Lin Ran stood there with a calm expression, but his heart was in turmoil.

He said with a nonchalant smile, "Hey~Mr. Psychopath, um~how should I put it."

"Which personality are you now?"

"Main body? Darkening? Or...even you don't know it."
