Chapter 560 - KINDRED PSYCHOPATHS (2/2)
Yinuo looked at him. ”Are you sure that Zhong Feng will not stop Hu Lei from acting? He is very protective of her. And I have looked into her past. I know she experienced symptoms of dissociative identity for a period.”
Yuan Haoran smiled. ”It is precisely because of this fact that he will not stop her. I have gotten a good grasp of his personality. Zhong Feng is willing to do anything for Hu Lei. And he knows that she will experience the symptoms of identity disorder again if she keeps living a mundane life.”
Jiang Yinuo did not feel so sure. She had been following gossip from Supreme City after learning about the couple. Perhaps, it was scientific curiosity. Or maybe, she was just a little bit jealous because her Haoran seemed to appreciate that Hu Lei a little too much.
She knew that his interest was based on the fact that he saw her as a kindred spirit, a fellow demon. Both of them were capable of acts of great cruelty, but they were able to find a source of happiness through love.
Perhaps, he looked at her and wondered if he could have attained the normalcy that Hu Lei had achieved.
But that did not stop the tendrils of dissatisfaction in Yinuo. And when Haoran discovered her unwarranted pettiness, he dared to laugh at her.
”You think he will let her carry out the mission so that she can stay integrated?” Yinuo asked with doubt in her eyes.
”Without a doubt. If it called for it, Zhong Feng would probably look for people for her to murder. It is just that Hu Lei would probably not allow it. Both of them know that this is a good opportunity for Hu Lei to let out a little steam.” Haoran replied with a certain eeriness in his red eyes.
”You make her sound like a psychopath.” Yinuo felt a little creeped out and pouted.
Haoran laughed. ”You tell me since you are a doctor. You should know the things that contribute to psychopathy. She was probably already predisposed because of the genes from her father, not to mention that she was engineered in a bid to create a perfect human.”
”She might have had a chance at normal development, but her mother shunned her from the moment she was born. Her father was absent during her formative years. Not to mention, she was kidnapped at a young age and killed someone before she was ten.”
”After that, you should know the story. Her father sent her for training in the mountains, and she was taught how to be an assassin. At sixteen, she became an official assassin under the coercion of that former mafia lord, Vladimir Romanov.”
Jiang Yinuo understood what he meant. It would be difficult for Hu Lei to have normal psychology with all these stressors at such a young age. However, everything about Hu Lei, from her sweet smile and her lifestyle, everything pointed to a nice girl.
”And when she thought she was going to live a normal life, someone kidnapped her, and her father conducted experiments on her.” Jiang Yinuo added.
Yuan Haoran cleared his throat awkwardly. ”Yeah, that was partly my bad.”
Jiang Yinuo rolled her eyes. ”We could have still used Kaito. He is an assassin too. He is the one who owes me for saving his wife and child.”
”Kaito is a good executioner for the wicked, but he does not have a stomach for the true unsavoury nature of this task. We are planning on destroying the foundations of Martial Island and reshaping it. We do not have time to coddle.”
”Not to mention, Hu Lei is much stronger than Kaito. She is more than a weapon. She is a force of destruction. Jane is known only by a few because she does not leave anything behind once she is done.” Yuan Haoran smiled with a strange delight.
”Why are you praising other women in front of me?” Jiang Yinuo pouted.
Haoran stretched his hand and rubbed her hair. ”I do not think of her as a woman. She is more like a brother I wish I had.”
”That's not better.” Jiang Yinuo was still not happy.
”A fellow psychopath?” He laughed.
”A little better.”
