Chapter 447 The Predator Trapping Plan (46)
Chapter 447 The Predator Trapping Plan (46)
Although Yan Zhen couldn't understand Qin Shao's thought process, she had no objection to the fact that he was willing to handle the gift that had been given.
"Let's go back to the hotel."
Before leaving, Yan Zhen instructed Haier to remotely control Andre's sports car and drive it into the underground parking lot of a high-end shopping venue.
On the way back, Qin Shao's face remained expressionless.
Yan Zhen chatted with him casually: "What did you do with Andrei's body?"
"It turned into a blood mist," Qin Shao said.
"The weather forecast says it will rain tomorrow. If the blood mist is washed away by the water and swept into the sea, wouldn't that mean he's truly dead without a trace?" Haier said excitedly. "This kid is of such high status. If he's been missing for a long time, won't his parents go crazy and search for him everywhere?"
"Yes," Qin Shao said. "We can't stay here any longer. Let's pack up and leave the island tomorrow."
Yan Zhen and Haier both agreed.
Back at the hotel, Yan Zhen went straight to her room to wash her hair and take a shower.
When she finished showering and changed into her pajamas, she found Qin Shao sitting on the sofa in her room, lost in thought.
"What's wrong?" Yan Zhen asked.
Qin Shao looked up at her, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Yan Zhen couldn't figure out the meaning behind his expression, and her heart skipped a beat.
Thinking back to tonight, his expression became strange from the moment he saw Andrei, as if he had been suppressing some emotion.
Yan Zhen's mind wandered, and he wondered if he and Andrei had ever been close friends, with a love-hate relationship that turned into hatred, and that he had rashly kidnapped Andrei for him to kill, which Andrei had done in a moment of impulse and was now regretting it...
In just a few seconds, Yan Zhen imagined 300,000 words of love, hate, and grudges based on Qin Shao's look.
Qin Shao seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and his previously stern face suddenly broke into a smile: "What are you thinking about?"
Yan Zhen asked uncertainly, "Do you regret killing Andrei?"
Qin Shao was taken aback: "No, why do you ask that?"
"You don't seem very happy," Yan Zhen said. "Shouldn't you be relieved to have avenged your great enemy?"
Qin Shao was silent for a while, then said, "I just feel... it's too sudden, my mind is in a mess."
In his mind, his reunion with Andrei would either take place in a military court or on the battlefield.
The two men, wielding the power of planets, fought fiercely until they were covered in blood. In the end, one of them fell and died, bringing this feud to a close.
But now, Jiang Ti delivered the person to him, and he killed this enemy he had hated for ten years with ease, without lifting a finger.
He had a sense of bewilderment, as if to say, "Is this even possible?"
Yan Zhen looked at his somewhat confused and incredulous expression and suddenly thought of Jing Chen.
That's why it's said to be Jing Chen's consciousness; this guy still retains some of Jing Chen's characteristics, such as his love of fantasy.
Isn't Qin Shao's current mindset a typical revenge-driven, wish-fulfillment novel mentality?
Framed by Andrei and forced to wander for ten years, Qin Shao envisioned that as long as he found the black box and returned to the Qin family with evidence to prove his innocence, his family would believe him and accept him, and he could return to the family as before.
He was later abandoned and driven away by his family, which caught him completely off guard.
When Qin Shao told Yan Zhen today about his plan to kill Andrei, he mentioned a war between two planets that would involve billions of lives.
He was prepared to launch a full-scale war against Andrei and his family.
Suddenly, Yan Zhen threw Andrei in front of him with a "thud," and then killed Andrei.
It's like a dream.
“Your mind is in a mess because it’s overloaded. I suggest you stop thinking now,” Yan Zhen said. “Get some sleep, clear your mind, and then think about these problems again when you wake up.”
Qin Shao thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
After saying that, he took off his coat, walked to the bedside, lifted the covers, and lay down.
Yan Zhen: "..."
She wanted to remind Qin Shao that this was her room, but seeing him lie down and close his eyes as if he was about to shut down, she kept quiet.
When Yan Zhen went back to the bathroom to dry her hair and came out, Qin Shao was already asleep.
She also lifted the covers and lay down, remaining somewhat wary and in a light sleep.
Unsure if he had slept for too long, Yan Zhen felt the person next to him suddenly sit up.
She immediately opened her eyes.
Qin Shao was sitting on the bed, muttering to himself, perhaps having a nightmare.
"What's wrong?" Yan Zhen asked.
Qin Shao did not respond.
Yan Zhen moved closer to him before she could hear what he was saying.
“Andrei is dead. I killed him with my own hands.”
Yan Zhen: "..."
As if just realizing what had happened, Qin Shao suddenly turned his body and pulled Yan Zhen out of bed, excitedly saying, "I killed Andrei! Andrei is dead!"
Yan Zhen: "...Ah, congratulations."
"He's dead! He's dead!"
Yan Zhen: "..."
Qin Shao got out of bed and walked around the room barefoot. Perhaps feeling that this alone couldn't express his excitement, he went back to bed, pulled Yan Zhen up to face her, and started talking about his grudges with Andrei.
From the centuries-long, overt and covert rivalry between the Winston and Qin families behind Andre, to the fact that he and Andre were born in the same year and both were found to have advanced mental abilities, and were highly regarded by their families.
They seem to be natural enemies.
Yan Zhen listened attentively at first, but gradually, her eyelids began to droop, and she would occasionally glance at the time on her personal terminal—three o'clock in the morning.
When Qin Shao recounted how he won against Andrei in a competition when he was nine years old, and how Andrei congratulated him verbally but secretly used his mental power to destroy his trophy, Yan Zhen, who was resting his chin on his hand, yawned.
Qin Shao seemed to finally have a change of heart: "Are you sleepy?"
Yan Zhen, not wanting to dampen his spirits, shook her head: "Not sleepy."
So Qin Shao continued speaking.
Yan Zhen: "..."
As she was falling asleep, Qin Shao told her about something that happened when he was in kindergarten.
"...Andrei and I both liked that little girl, so we both gave her our little red flowers. She didn't take Andrei's flower, but she took mine, Andrei..."
Yan Zhen's mind picked up on the three keywords "little girl," "giving a little red flower," and "accepting me," and he immediately became much more alert: "What is that?"
Qin Shao thought she hadn't understood: "A little red flower is a small gift that kindergarten teachers use to reward children who behave well..."
"No, what about what you said earlier, that you and Andrei both had feelings for a little girl?" Yan Zhen straightened up and asked.
Qin Shao: "..."
A man's instincts made him cautiously remain silent at that moment.
"You gave that little girl a red flower?"
Qin Shao: "..."
"She accepted your little red flower but not Andrei's, and you're still especially happy?"
Qin Shao: "..."
"And then?" Yan Zhen asked.
"...What happened next?"
"The little girl accepted your red flower, and you were so happy, so happy that you still remember it more than twenty years later," Yan Zhen asked. "What happened between you and that little girl afterward?"
