Mental Illness Evolution Manual - Chapter 77

Qi Ziyang: “I’m here to pack my things, you wouldn’t think I want to stay here, would you?”

He looked Yue Lingxiu up and down with the eyes of someone looking at trash, “Only you would consider this place a treasure. I wouldn’t even want to stay here if you paid me. What kind of nouveau riche decoration is this? It’s so tacky and ugly, no taste at all. I’ve been living in your house for two years, my eyes are going blind.”

Yue Lingxiu was furious, because he was right. The Yue family was indeed a nouveau riche, they couldn’t compare to the Qi family’s background.

In this day and age, the truth is the most hurtful, the most capable of hitting a sore spot.

“You bitch!”

She raised her hand to slap him, but Yan Xianchuan stopped her, she secretly played a trick, her fingers exerted a little bit of force, and there was a snap.

“You’re hitting someone with so much force, you’ve broken your own wrist.” Yan Xianchuan said in feigned surprise.

Yue Lingxiu was also a pampered young lady, she cried out in pain, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, her lips trembled and turned white, she covered her arm with her left hand, “You, you!”

“So I was right, you two are a couple!”

Qi Ziyang almost couldn’t hold back his expression. He quietly took a deep breath before he could hold back his laughter.

Fortunately, Yue Lingxiu was in so much pain that she was delirious, she didn’t notice that he almost cracked.

“I told you, we’re not,” he said, rolling his eyes. “You have the intellect of a walnut; do you only assess people from the waist down? Since marrying your dimwitted brother, I’ve learned something: people should be a little more open-minded.”

“How come he can play around, but I can’t? Miss Yan is a married woman, I’m not as cheap as Yue Yongjian, I don’t go for taken women. There are plenty of homeless little darlings at the Proxima Club.”

He clicked his tongue twice, as if he was pitying them, “I’ll just have to reluctantly give them a warm home.”

Yue Lingxiu was so angry that her soul left her body, “How can you go out and mess around!! You should beg my brother to remarry you. My brother is still in the hospital, and you’re already thinking about finding someone else. How could he marry a slut like you!”

Qi Ziyang had a smile on his face that lacked warmth, “With all due respect, you just told me to get out of your house, you said I wasn’t part of the Yue family. Now you’re telling me to go beg him to remarry me? What, am I your family’s property? Do I have to be at your beck and call, alive or dead?”

“Since you married into our family, you’re our property,” Yue Lingxiu said with a matter-of-fact expression, “We’re the only ones who can get rid of you, you don’t have the right to decide for yourself.”

Qi Ziyang raised an eyebrow, “I’m going to the Proxima Club tonight, what are you going to do about it? Hit me?”

Yue Lingxiu waved her other healthy arm and was about to charge at him, but she caught sight of Yan Xianchuan out of the corner of her eye, and she stopped immediately, “You just wait!”

Qi Ziyang was too lazy to speak anymore. Arguing with her a few more times would be torture.

This kind of person’s thinking was already rigid, she had her own set of logic. No matter how absurd it was, it was reasonable in her mind. Everyone in the world had to agree with her, and think the same way she did.

If they didn’t agree, then they were wrong.

Yue Lingxiu stomped down the stairs, she didn’t forget to threaten him, “You just wait! Qi Ziyang, I won’t let you get away with this!”

It was clearly Yan Xianchuan who had broken her arm, but she didn’t say anything bad to her. What a bully!

Qi Ziyang rubbed his temples, “I was so happy, but the more I talked to her, the angrier I got. Why are there such ridiculous people!”

“But when I think about it, their whole family is like this, it’s not surprising.”

Yan Xianchuan had listened to a whole earful of idiotic remarks, and she was already thinking about what kind of death would be best for this screeching chicken.

Gossip, it turns out, can also be painful.

She thought gossip was about dramatic plot developments, jaw-dropping characters, and a double subversion of humanity and ethics.

Actual gossip—watching strange people make strange remarks, witnessing the diversity of species.

Yan Xianchuan, whose worldview had been shocked, secretly recorded a clip for Lu Mingqiu, 【It’s so scary, the people here are really scary.】

Lu Mingqiu listened to the recording without changing her expression, she didn’t think it was anything.

This kind of thinking was the prevailing view of society. As an omega, she had heard it so many times that her ears were calloused.

She was more concerned about something else than these insignificant words.

【You didn’t kill anyone, did you?】

Yan Xianchuan said with a pout, 【Of course not, am I the kind of person who would just go around killing people?】

As she said this, she completely ignored what had happened last night. She was even more confident than Yue Lingxiu just now.

Lu Mingqiu: You are.

But she couldn’t say that, wouldn’t that dampen her enthusiasm?

【I believe you’ll act with restraint, you’ll be good and wait for me to come back, right?】

【Right!】 Yan Xianchuan replied excitedly.

Then she followed Qi Ziyang, who had packed his things, out the door, “I’m not going to… well… I’m not going tonight.”

“I can’t go.” This sentence was easier to say than she thought. Mainly, when she said it, she was thinking about the praise and rewards she would get later. It wasn’t that difficult to think about.

Qi Ziyang was truly relieved. With this big Buddha following him, he couldn’t help but think about all sorts of things. And Yan Xianchuan was a little eye-catching, he was worried that something might happen.

He had gotten Yue Lingxiu out, not to kill her directly, but to poison her. A slow poison, so she wouldn’t die immediately. When she died, they would only find organ failure. By then, even if they wanted to find the cause, they wouldn’t be able to.

The Yue family would be entangled in the Newman family’s revenge, they would only bury her hastily. When they were in a state of chaos, that would be the time for his revenge to begin.

For now, it was just an appetizer, to make himself happy.

He had plenty of time, a bright future, there was no need to sacrifice himself for revenge. These rotten people weren’t worthy.

Yan Xianchuan parted ways with him and returned to her own home. But as soon as she opened the door and went inside, the expectations in her heart, when faced with the empty room, turned into bubbles in the sunlight, all shattered.

She dragged her heavy feet, she threw herself onto the sofa and stared at the coffee table for a while.

The bright sunlight, the warm yellow cups, the beige cushions, all lost their original colors, they were covered in a layer of black ash.

This huge living room, it was like an empty prison, filled with a dull gloom, imprisoning her here.

Since being alone was so unbearable, how did she manage before?

Yan Xianchuan thought for a while, then she suddenly realized, she hadn’t managed at all.

It was a beautiful sunny day, perfect for going out for a picnic, camping. In fact, that’s what they had planned at home. It was her birthday a few days ago, but her parents both had work to do, so they decided to go out together on the weekend.

The weather was really good, the wind blowing on her face was warm when she jumped out of the building. The sky was like a sea of clouds, and there was still cold blood on her hands.

She was rising, the city was falling.

Loneliness is a very difficult thing to endure, it makes you feel empty inside.

Killing is a very happy thing, it makes you feel like you have something to do.

So, Yan Xianchuan bounced off the sofa, she decided to do something productive!

She wouldn’t get involved in the love-hate relationships of these big families, she would avoid disrupting the situation with her identity. Couldn’t she just change her face and go undercover?

“Yan Xianchuan” didn’t do anything, I, “Yan Xiaochuan”, went out to go crazy, how could that not be considered behaving myself?

She first looked at herself in the mirror and randomly chose a harmless face. Then she went to Lu Mingqiu’s closet and secretly stole a diamond necklace.

A fat sheep should have the capital of a fat sheep.

She was about to walk out the door, but she changed her mind. She picked up a shoulder bag, the kind with a large capacity and a practical design. Then she put on a simple short-sleeved shirt and long pants, and grabbed a wide-brimmed hat.

With this outfit, plus a mask, she looked like a young lady who had run away from home.

She thought she had hidden her identity and disguised herself, but unfortunately, she lacked experience. Anyone with sharp eyes would know that a fat sheep was coming.

By night, she could go out and wield her righteous fist.

Yan Xianchuan had already decided on a location, the West District where Jinxiu Night City was located. The whole area was a mix of good and bad, it was the perfect place to do some shady business, to steal and cheat. It was a gathering place for all kinds of people.

She didn’t know that Tan Yiyuan was also there.

After leaving Yunmeng Terrace that day, he seriously considered his future. Taking on the Black Tiger Gang alone was a fool’s errand; it was like an ant trying to topple a tree. Success would be a pipe dream.

If one person couldn’t do it, then he would find help. The Black Tiger Gang was ruthless, they didn’t allow anyone else to do the businesses they had. They were in the sex doll business, so other related clubs had to have their label on them.

What? You say the boss doesn’t agree? Then just kill the boss.

Those who were sensible would surrender and obediently give up a share of the profits. Otherwise, they would be dead.

The Black Tiger Gang was so bold and reckless because of their strength, but all these small gangs who had their profits unfairly diluted, were they all obedient and submissive? Probably not.

They were living their own lives, then suddenly a bandit came and said: Give me two-tenths of your family’s earnings every year, or I’ll kill your whole family.

To survive, he gave them the money, but who knows how he cursed the bandit in his heart.

Especially since they were involved in so many things, besides sex dolls, there were casinos, illegal drugs, black virtual dreams, etc., all of which were highly profitable industries. They were like leeches, sucking the blood of other merchants.

Tan Yiyuan planned to find a few companions who harbored resentment towards the Black Tiger Gang. Gathering these people together would be a considerable force.

If you were looking for the best place to gather information, it would definitely be an underground bar.

He relied on his years of experience as a bounty hunter, and without the help of a local, he found the place.

Bars are all the same, flashing lights, loud music, and the dance floor is always full of people dancing.

He sat down in a corner at the bar, he deliberately put on a hearing aid, the kind with an intelligent system. The machine would automatically capture what people around him were saying and convert it into subtitles that appeared in front of his eyes. This was an assistive device for the disabled, but it was also a good tool for eavesdropping.

At first, there wasn’t any useful information, just gossip about people’s personal lives.

He sat at the bar for over two hours, then he suddenly heard something different. Two people were discussing a man named Feng Tao. One of them said he was drinking again, and the other said he came twice a week.

The first person said, “He used to be the deputy leader, but now he’s just a delivery driver. He must be so angry.”

His companion replied, “It’s good that he’s alive. After all, he was the old leader’s confidant. As for the current leader, tsk tsk tsk.”

This must be about the Black Tiger Gang! Because there were no other gangs.

Feng Tao, who was he? Would he be someone he could win over?
