Chapter 464: Reasonable and Trustworthy"You are the president of the Dawn Association—the Butcher." Ranran went straight to the point.
Melris, also known as the butcher, was slightly startled. "Why do you just give me the answer so easily? Aren't you afraid that I will regret not answering your question?"
There was a moment of dead silence in the air, and Hei Cha was ready for battle.
Butcher... She never expected that the plain-looking man in the Dawn Association this time was actually a butcher!
As if she couldn't sense the stagnation in the atmosphere, Ran Ran asked sincerely, "As the president of the Dawn Breaking Association, can you go back on your word?"
"You are a big shot, and big shots are reasonable."
The butcher found Ran Ran more and more interesting. At least she was lively. Of course, this liveliness was different from Kong Yan's noisy one.
He curved his lips and smiled slightly, "Why is that?"
Ran Ran opened his eyes wide, "Because unreasonable people can't become big people."
“Being reasonable is a necessary but not sufficient condition for becoming a great man.”
At such a tense moment, Hei Cha couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Ran Ran say this. She looked at Ran Ran with an incredulous look.
"Didn't your second nephew say that you were a Taoist nun in the mountains? How come you can do math?"
After hearing this, Ranran became the one who couldn't believe it.
"I am a monk, and I am my second nephew's cousin. These two things combined cannot simply mean that I am a nun in the mountains."
"Besides, what's wrong with being able to do math? My cultivation doesn't prevent me from studying math. Haven't you heard that you should do both?"
"Minister Hei Cha, don't you know that mathematics also emphasizes analogy and the principle of keeping the same principle even after all changes? This is the idea of our metaphysics."
"So don't think the two are incompatible."
Ran Ran explained clearly: "Mathematics should be taught from an early age, and the same goes for metaphysics."
As she spoke, she observed the butcher's expression in the distance, and this allowed her to grasp the key point.
The butcher was not lying when he said before that he liked interesting people. Ranran catered to his interests and made witty remarks. After saying so many things, the butcher's face became better and better.
"What a necessary but not sufficient condition." The butcher looked at Ranran with a smile.
"You are right. If you are unreasonable, you cannot become the leader of an organization."
"Being a leader and being a ruler often have something in common. If the person in power is unreasonable and moody, he will never last long, and it is only a matter of time before he is overthrown by those below him."
The butcher stared at Ran Ran and added, "The same goes for breaking a promise."
"So I'll answer your 'little' questions properly."
Ranran felt relieved. This was exactly what she wanted him to say. She took out the doll hidden behind her without hesitation.
"This..." Ran Ran said solemnly, "Who among you did this?"
The butcher shook his head helplessly. "Is this your little problem?"
"Yes." Ran Ran said with a firm face.
The butcher suddenly laughed, and that laugh made Ranran feel cold.
"You don't think I don't know what this doll represents, do you, naive Miss Elizabeth?"
"Of course I know you know." Ran Ran took a deep breath, "It was this wrong death knell that led all of us into a misunderstanding, so..."
"As long as we know who did this and who tampered with the bell, that person... is the murderer who killed Tok."
Hei Cha was still a little confused. Didn't he have no clue before? How come he suddenly knew who the murderer was after just looking at the bell?
The smile on the butcher's face deepened, and his pair of beautiful smiling eyes only stared at Ranran.
"Now that you know, you should understand that I will not tell you such important information casually." He softened his tone, which made Ranran feel even more dangerous.
"You are indeed very clever, Elizabeth, but you are also very cunning."
"You say it's a small problem, but you're actually very greedy."
Ran Ran did not show any fear. She insisted on what she said, "It is indeed just a small problem, President."
"I don't know your men, so this information seems mysterious and important, but you know it very well."
"You are so loved by your subordinates, so you must know them very well. Then what are their abilities? Isn't it just insignificant information to you?"
"As long as our positions are different, the conclusions we reach will be completely different."
Ran Ran said sincerely: "I said small problems, and they were directed at you from the beginning."
"It's the truth. Not a single word of it is false."
"You really are..." The butcher narrowed his eyes dangerously, "good at speaking."
He said all the nice things and used all the tricks, but it still didn't seem to work. Fortunately, Ran Ran gave up and chose the path of defeating everything with sincerity.
"Then, President, can you please answer my little question because I am so eloquent?"
Hei Cha was alert, but he was also shocked by Ran Ran's shamelessness. How could he do this? The man opposite was the president of the Dawn Association. If he just asked him directly, it would definitely work...
The butcher suddenly sighed heavily, "It seems like there's nothing I can do to you."
Hei Cha frowned. How could this actually work? !
The smile on the butcher's face disappeared, and he looked at Ran Ran calmly, "After all, I am their leader, a reasonable man who keeps his promises."
"If I really promised a little girl like you and didn't do it, it would be hard to explain."
Hei Cha's pupils trembled when he heard this. What was there to be embarrassed about? Wouldn't it be better to just kill the evil boy and her together? !
Who in heaven above and earth below would know this? Who could know that he was an unreasonable and fickle person? !
As long as all those who know the truth are eliminated, you can establish your character however you want.
Besides, when did being reasonable become a prerequisite for being an evil leader? Her thinking should be that of a villain!
Ran Ran didn't want to complain like Hei Cha did. As long as the butcher was willing to answer, it would be good enough and all her efforts would be worth it.
She blinked her starry eyes at the butcher, "So it is..."
“It’s a method of thinking.”
Ran Ran immediately became serious, "Is that the Soul Seducer, Master Nian?"
The butcher frowned in disdain. "What a ridiculous name. It's really ugly."
Ran Ran joked, "A soul-catcher is someone who can seduce ghosts, but in essence, he is indeed a ghost himself. It is appropriate for you to describe him as a ghost, President."
Heicha could hardly stand Ran Ran's flattery anymore. She had never seen a flattering Ran Ran before, not even to Director Sun Haian!
Discomfort is one thing, but anger is more important!
Hei Cha could never have imagined that her meeting with the famous Dawn Breaking Association's president, the Butcher, would turn out like this...
Shouldn't they fight over a disagreement? Like Minister Gao?
Ranran has already engraved superb acting skills into her bones. She can play any kind of character, except that she is a little flattering and humble.
The most important thing is to be able to survive and win.
My second nephew has long said that she is inhumane.
They have no humanity anymore, so they act whatever they want.
Just now, the butcher only disliked the title and did not deny her words.
So the doll in her hand was indeed made by that Lord Nian.
The one who sent out four of his psychic abilities to deal with her, Master Nian.
