Chapter 560 - KINDRED PSYCHOPATHS

After confirming that Akira was recovering, Dr Jiang left the hospital. She hoped that she would not need to return. If it were not for extenuating circumstances, she would not have accepted the task of taking care of Akira. 

When she went outside, she found the vehicle waiting for her immediately. Even in a place with a lot of wealthy people with incredible means, only one person owned La Voiture Noire. She walked to the black car with a smile, her ponytail swinging behind her. 

The eerie but handsome man inside discovered her and stepped out to receive her, even though he could open the door from inside. He stretched his hands to her and she skipped over like a little bird to his arms. 

"You did not have to come and pick me up." She said a little hypocritically. 

Yuan Haoran laughed. He knew that she was just saying the words for the sake of it. Unless he was busy, she would not be happy if he did not pick her up. He could be faulted for her personality because he had spoiled her, even when they were in a dire situation. 

But again, he liked that she was a spoiled princess. 

He could not give her much, but he hoped that he would be able to give her a glimpse of happiness if nothing else. Their time in the world was already short. If he could give her one extra smile, he would strive to do so. 

"I enjoy coming to pick you up." He said with an indulgent smile. 

Yinuo was happy when she heard the words. She knew he meant it, but she liked it when he said. She leaned forward and pecked his lips with her beautiful red ones. Her cheeks became a little pink, but she did not shy away from him. 

"Where do you want to go today?" Haoran asked as he ushered her into the vehicle. 

"Let's just go home today." She replied. 

Yuan Haoran looked at her with concern as he entered the vehicle and settled in the driver's seat. While they both looked healthy, they both knew that they had less than half a year to live. Anything, could shorten the timeframe and even directly cut off their lifelines. 

"Are you feeling unwell?" He asked. 

Yinuo shook her head and smiled. "We have been doing so much for the past half a year. It does not hurt to take a break and do nothing for once." 

After Hu Lei and Zhong Feng left Romania, Yuan Haoran raised her from her suspended animation. The initial days required a lot of physical therapy to ensure recovery. However, they decided that they would live their lives wildly and freely since they had nothing to lose. 

They had travelled across the globe, enjoyed the beautiful views, eaten delicious foods and engaged in all kinds of extreme sports. Yuan Haoran had particularly taken into racing and gained an interest in limited edition cars. 

He had always thought of cars as just a means for transport, but after the trip to Italy, his eyes were opened to the majesty of automobiles. 

As for Jiang Yinuo, she was like her usual self. She wanted to learn and read books that she had not had an opportunity to explore yet. She scored libraries for manuscripts of rare items and reached out to other scholars, seeking the answers to all questions that bothered her. 

"Alright." Yuan Haoran said before the vehicle shot out like a bullet from the hospital. 

When the couple arrived at their home on a hill outside of Martial City, their actions were quite harmonious. After a shower, they shared a cup of tea while watching the sunset. Then, they went to the kitchen and prepared a meal together. 

"How are Ms Yamazaki and her baby?" Yuan Haoran asked as they finally sat down to have their dinner. 

Jiang Yinuo chewed on her pasta for a moment. "Ms Yamazaki is doing fine. I think after about a week of care, she will be well enough to leave the hospital. She is recovering at a rapid rate, so I do not need to personally supervise her case anymore. There are no problems with the baby." 

Yuan Haoran nodded. "Once they leave the hospital, we can begin our plan." 

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."
