Chapter 306 - 306 305 The Truth is Really Ironic
?Chapter 306: Chapter 305: The Truth is Really Ironic Chapter 306: Chapter 305: The Truth is Really Ironic Su Wei was also a highly intelligent person, and he had studied psychology.
He had actually noticed Luo Ning testing him before, so he had always tried to evade her questions.
He had also noticed that many people who had come with them had been secretly monitoring and observing him before and that day.
This indicated that these people might suspect him of releasing the Zombie Virus and causing the apocalypse.
At that time, he thought Luo Ning suspected him as well.
But he didn’t care. Since they suspected him, he might as well confirm their suspicions and took advantage of the situation to repay a past favor.
That’s why he had deliberately taken out the Zombie Plant powder to give to her.
Unexpectedly, Luo Ning had practically pieced together the entire truth.
He curiously asked, “Then can you guess why I would help him?”
Luo Ning replied, “I feel like when you two interact, it seems as if you are close brothers, but you are not.”
“He always carries a condescending attitude, as if you owe him something.”
“That day you said I saved you, he immediately thanked me like a good brother when he heard, but I felt he wasn’t sincere.”
“From his facial features, he had suffered a lot of hardships and pain in his youth, even losing something very precious, so there is a great deal of hatred hidden inside him.”
“And you, you are very accommodating toward him, though not in a submissive manner, but with a sense of debt and compensation.”
“Then the reason you help him must stem from a familial debt.”
Luo Ning looked at him with a meaningful expression, “Your mother did quite a few things to him, didn’t she?”
Su Wei was impressed, “Impressive, you’re right again.”
“So you can also read faces.”
He continued, “My mom brought me along when she married his father, then became a homemaker, taking care of us since we were young.”
“She never scolded or beat my brother, but she treated him as if he didn’t exist.”
“When my stepfather was around, she would act like a loving mother.”
“Whenever my stepfather was not around, she would just ignore everything.”
“Even when my brother spoke, she acted as if she hadn’t heard.”
“When I was young, I didn’t understand, but as I grew up, I realized this was called ’emotional abuse’.”
“And from then on, my brother’s mental state gradually started becoming abnormal.”
“One time, he and I were kidnapped together, yet he managed to divert the kidnappers to help me escape.”
“Who knew when our family found him, he was continuously bleeding from the lower body, and though his life was saved at the hospital, he lost the ability to reproduce.”
“I later learned that my mother actually mocked him behind his back and even provoked him deliberately.”
“Just to completely ruin him, to make me inherit the Luo Family.”
“From that moment, he appeared more and more like a cultured and honorable gentleman on the surface, but behind the scenes, he started doing some abnormal, even insanely cruel things.”
“Like torturing animals and then dissecting them.”
“Whenever he saw murder or bloody scenes on TV or in movies, excitement flashed through his eyes.”
“I later learned that he also escaped during that kidnapping, only to be caught again.”
“At the time, he encountered numerous people and hinted at them for help in various ways, but he was ignored.”
“So he began to hate his family, despise this society, and humanity.”
“In college, he actively chose to study biological pharmaceuticals, I always felt indebted to him and worried about his state, so I followed him in choosing the same major.”
He scoffed with relentless irony, “You know what? The first target he released the Zombie Virus on was our parents.”
“The start of this apocalypse, the initial source of infection, came from my parents.”
Clearly, his brother hated not only his mother but also his father.
Su Wei wasn’t actually very close to those two people.
Back then, his mom was coldly abusive towards his brother and didn’t show much affection towards him either, instead relentlessly pushing him into various academic pursuits.
After his biological father died, leaving behind his fortune, grabbing that wasn’t enough for her; she wanted him to devour Luo Family’s assets too.
His stepdad appeared to be a successful, upright man, but in reality, he was a violent maniac.
Whenever he was in a bad mood, he would take it out by beating him and his brother, particularly savagely beating him.
This was why he and his brother were truly troubled siblings, having supported each other since childhood.
He didn’t regret that those two had contracted the virus and become zombies; instead, he was heartbroken to see his brother become this anti-human creature.
Seeing once-familiar people turn into zombies, and humanity plunge into the apocalypse, his heart couldn’t overcome the hurdle.
Caught between his conscience and remorse, he was unsure what to do and just ended up locking his brother in the laboratory.
Since his brother wouldn’t be bitten by zombies anyway, he would drop off some food occasionally.
But to his surprise, the military base actually called Luo Ning to pick the lock, and she did indeed crack the smart lock, foiling his original plan.
After his brother got out, he kept recalling the past, and Su Wei couldn’t help but feel soft-hearted and guilty again.
In the end, he was even persuaded to cover for his brother.
Scratching his head, Su Wei said, “He promised me, once this is over, he’ll stop.”
Luo Ning raised an eyebrow, “Do you believe that? Because I sure don’t.”
“The suffering from our family and the indifferent attitudes of others have driven him to be anti-human and anti-society, but that does not mean he is innocent.”
“In the end, the world still has more good and kind people. Because of his own selfish desires, so many have become zombies, countless families have been destroyed – that’s just wrong.”
Luo Ning asked, “Are you really still going to cover for and help him?”
Su Wei scratched his head again, “I don’t know.”
Seeing him like this, Luo Ning knew he was still indecisive, “Your brother won’t end well, and if you keep enabling him, neither will you.”
Su Wei laughed out hollowly, “That’s even better, it spares me the tough choice.”
Luo Ning gave him a piercing look, “Take care of yourself.”
This guy was beyond saving.
After that, she turned to leave.
“Are you really not planning to leave with your team first?” Su Wei asked.
Luo Ning shook her head, “No.”
She returned to her original spot and sent a text message to Bo Xuan and the others.
She straightforwardly told them that Dr. Luo was the key figure they were searching for.
Bo Xuan had some suspicions before, so he wasn’t too shocked.
But Fan Ye and the other two were utterly surprised; they hadn’t expected that the person all the city’s hopes were pinned on was in fact the evil mastermind behind everything.
The irony of the truth stung.
[Hadn’t expected Dr. Luo to be the biggest boss lurking in the background.]
[Totally misjudged him, always thought Dr. Luo was a good one, genuinely trying to develop a cure to save humanity.]
[Brother Ning is so strong, he spotted so many issues from his very first visit to the lab, then gradually deduced the truth.]
[Brother Ning has definitely unlocked a new career; he could become a detective or crack cases. He has significant potential.]
[Now I finally understand the saying ‘details make or break the situation’—Dr. Luo and his team slipped up on details, and Brother Ning uncovered the truth because of details.]
[So, my Brother Ning is simply cooler.]
[Just really anxious about going to the mountaintop later, what if we encounter that mutant plant zombie king.]
[Don’t worry, Brother Ning’s got this.]
Although they said this, the hearts of the global audience were still lifted in suspense.
