Chapter 596 He is a Heartless Man
In Song Yansheng’s study, Song Yansheng, Gu Zheng, Qin Ran, and Qu Yuzuo sat facing each other.
Qin Ran’s left arm was in a cast, his expression cold and somber, with a few minor scratches on his already scarred left cheek.
Even so, the line of his face and his handsome features were still clearly visible.
Song Yansheng asked Qin Ran, "Do you really think Zhong Jinnan let you go?"
Qin Ran’s thin lips moved, and he said, "When I shattered my own left hand, he tried to stop me; otherwise, my left hand might have been completely ruined..."
"So, what do you mean by that?"
"He let me go, but only temporarily!"
After saying this, Qin Ran gave a cold, mocking smile.
Zhong Jinnan was the adoptive father of him and Yan Ke.
Indeed, without Zhong Jinnan, he and Yan Ke might have spent their entire lives in an orphanage.
In the past, they thought they were very lucky, but later they felt that even living in the orphanage wouldn’t have been so bad.
An adoptive father is a father through nurturing, yet he never felt that he was Zhong Jinnan’s son.
On the contrary, he felt more like a tool, a tool that Zhong Jinnan cultivated for his own use.
Since it’s a tool, it can be used, and it can be discarded.
So four years ago, he and Yan Ke were discarded like two useless pieces of trash.
"Since you know, we have to think of a way to permanently free you from Zhong Jinnan, and also how to get Yan Ke away from Zhong Jinnan!"
After Song Yansheng spoke, his gaze fell on Qu Yuzuo.
Qu Yuzuo was always meticulous and calm, and with his background in psychology, they were keen to hear his opinion.
Qu Yuzuo’s thin lips moved slightly, saying, "I’ve analyzed Zhong Jinnan’s character. He is cold-blooded, heartless, selfish, a typical individualist to the core. He has no feelings in his heart and it’s difficult for him to develop them for others. So trying to reason with him won’t be easy, but fighting fire with fire isn’t a good method either, so... it’s going to be very difficult!"
Qin Ran furrowed his brows and said, "Actually, he isn’t completely without feelings toward people, it’s just..."
Qin Ran glanced sideways at Song Yansheng, who pressed his lips tightly together, his gaze deepening.
Qu Yuzuo and Gu Zheng could probably understand what Qin Ran meant.
Fifteen years ago, the Song Family suffered a misfortune, and Yu Yao sent her only son, Song Yansheng, abroad.
Then Zhong Jinnan arranged for Qin Ran and Yan Ke to be responsible for the safety of Yu Yao’s family and Song Yansheng.
Why did Zhong Jinnan agree to help the Song Family? For money? No, Zhong Jinnan was above worldly matters, unconcerned with money.
If not for money, then it must have been for emotion.
Song Xiuwen became a vegetative state, leaving only Yu Yao with the fourteen-year-old Song Yansheng.
And Yu Yao and Zhong Jinnan were acquaintances; wasn’t it through Yu Yao that Zhong Jinnan met with Qin Ran this time as well?
No matter how heartless and cruel Zhong Jinnan was to others, he was filled with deep emotion for Yu Yao.
But to ask Yu Yao to persuade Zhong Jinnan, never mind whether Zhong Jinnan’s character would be swayed, first and foremost as Yu Yao’s son, Song Yansheng would never agree to it.
"Doesn’t Zhong Jinnan have any other weaknesses?" Gu Zheng asked.
Qin Ran frowned, thought for a moment, then shook his head, "No... I’ve been by Father’s side for ten years and never saw him afraid of anything, nor did I ever see him have any relatives or family, not to mention how he treated me and Yan Ke as his adoptees, you’ve all seen it..."
