Alien Executioner

"This is my first time on this island, and I'm just surprised." Nolu wanted to look into his eyes, but every time they met, she couldn't help but look away.

"You think this island is weird."

"No, of course, it is indeed very strange. I heard that the reason why this island is always in darkness is because it is covered by a terrible thick fog. What really surprised me was actually the banquet."

Nuolu took a sip of red wine and tried to pretend to be casual when asking out of curiosity.

"It's such an important banquet, but you and An Xin, as the head of the family, were not present. It's really strange."

An Ran knew what Nuo Lu wanted to ask, but it definitely wasn't about that matter. No one knew the relationship between her and her sister, so there was no reason for the direction of her question to be related to it.

She probably wanted to know what the core of the family banquet was.

A banquet without even the siblings present is nothing more than an ordinary gathering, so the family banquet will not be a highlight.

An Ran thought for a while and decided not to answer such a deep question, so he just followed Nuo Lu's words.

"Even at the most grand banquet, there will always be reasons to leave."

"I thought there was nothing more important than a family banquet." Nolu began to play with the corner of her clothes.

"Sudden things are always unexpected. Rather than saying that we didn't attend the banquet, it would be better to say that we were just late." An Ran lit a cigarette, and the smoke filled the dining table.

Nuolu waved her hand to disperse the secondhand smoke, a look of disgust on her face. It wasn't that she hated smoking, but she really couldn't stand people smoking in front of her without any hesitation.

Even if the other party is An Ran, his top superior and the young master of the family.

But strangely enough, the smoke from the burning cigarette in An Ran's hand seemed to have eyes and floated towards Nuolu.

"You probably have your own things to do." An Ran reminded.

"Sorry, I remembered I had something else to do so I left first."

After saying that, Nuolu quickly stood up and ran, quickly walked down the steps and walked towards the entrance of the hall. She couldn't stand it, but she was unwilling to go back like this. When she reached the door, she looked back, met the pair's eyes, and quickly turned around and ran away.

Beside him, Ling was a little confused:

"Are you obsessed? I remember you never had the habit of smoking at the dinner table."

"I think... I can finally be willful once in a while." An Ran smiled and threw a cigarette in front of the housekeeper.

"What the hell? What are you doing to me? If your sister knew that I was smoking on the dining table, she would tear the skin off my body!"

Ling said this, but her hands very honestly took the cigarette and took out a lighter from her pocket.

"That's just you, not me." An Ran smiled softly, "Are you afraid of her?"

"Nonsense, she is the future head of the family, my boss, what if she makes things difficult for me in the future?" Ling shrugged, lit a cigarette and took a puff, "You seem to be targeting Nuolu, don't you like her?"

"How do you define liking?"

"It's not that kind of liking, I mean being polite and friendly. Although you didn't show any hatred towards her, you were obviously keeping your distance from her. Did you know each other before?"

"Sister Ling, you've also learned to talk nonsense." An Ran said, "She is an elite executive officer, a candidate for the next Hall of Fame. As the highest director, how could I not know her?"

"Oh, oh, oh, I'm confused." Ling slapped her forehead, "I was so sleepy, you must know her, so do you have a conflict over work?"

"Just because she is a candidate for the Hall of Fame." An Ran exhaled smoke.

"Why?" Ling didn't understand. "What do you mean by just because she's a candidate for the Hall of Fame? Tell me and I'll clear it up for Sister Ling."

"Sister Ling, what kind of person do you think I am?" An Ran turned her head and looked into the housekeeper's eyes.

"This..." Ling turned her head and looked away, hesitating for a long time.

"Don't tell me."

"It's just that you suddenly asked me back, which caught me off guard." Ling said, "What kind of person do you think you are?"

An Ran was silent for a long time, then couldn't help but smile faintly.

"There is such a profound art as passing the buck in conversational speech. It seems that there will be no conclusion to this question."

"You are a very beautiful person." Ling stuck out her tongue and said this suddenly.

An Ran was stunned.

"You were very pretty when you were a child, weren't you?" Ling suddenly smiled frivolously, twirling her fingers in front of him, "I still have your childhood photos saved, do you want to take a look and review them?"

As she spoke, she took out her cell phone and opened the album, not caring whether An Ran agreed or not.

An Ran did not say anything to refuse. He knew that Ling was just like that. As a housekeeper, she often lacked the awareness of a housekeeper. On the contrary, she was really like a sister, always making her own decisions.

Ling is her name, and it is also her only name. She came to the An family when she was very young, so she can also be called An Ling.

"Look, look."

Ling's eyes suddenly lit up, a suspicious expression appeared on her face, and she took a photo of the contents of her phone screen to him.

An Ran was stunned and couldn't help but want to cover her face.

In that photo, a pair of girls, about 12 or 13 years old, huddled together, like sisters, with indistinguishable features, wearing the same dinosaur one-piece pajamas, and smiling towards the camera.

The one who seemed to be laughing the most was the elder sister. She was hugging another girl and they looked very close to each other.

Is this me when I was little... An Ran complained silently, how come I really look like a girl.

Chapter 322: The Gift of Tyranny (II)

Ling put the phone away and gently ran her finger across it. The next photo was still of a pair of young and naive sisters.

The older girl in the photo is wearing a butler's outfit, looking proud and cool, while the younger child is wearing a court dress with only a faint smile on her face, as if she is very shy.

No one would have thought that the legendary hall executive "Devil", the son of the An family and An Group, had such a past when he was young.

Ling showed the phone to An Ran. He took a look and his expression relaxed a lot.

"It seems like I was still normal when I was a kid. Isn't that pretty nice?"

"Ah?" Ling was startled, flipped over her phone and looked at it, then pointed at the girl in the butler's outfit in the photo and said with a smile:

"You misunderstood. This is your sister. The one wearing a skirt is you."

An Ran's expression gradually became solemn. He stared at the photo, trying to recall.

He struggled to piece together his scattered memories, and in a trance his face turned pale.

All this seemed to be true.

"I didn't just use the pictures from the internet to fool you, but I had to ask my wife for it with great difficulty."

Ling swung her phone proudly and continued to scroll through the photos. The following photos were all of a similar pair of sisters, all dressed in different outfits. In the photos, little An Ran always looked like a girl. Although he was a little shy at that time, he did not show any obvious resistance.

“I’ve been saving for four years.”

"Looks so familiar..." The more An Ran looked at them, the more he felt something was wrong. He felt like he had seen these pictures somewhere before.

When he was browsing the website before, he seemed to have seen this set of pictures on a social platform, and the number of views was quite high.

At that time, he just glanced at it occasionally, and at that time, Wu Yi⒎⑻(eight) and Qi⒍ Doctor really thought it was just a simple photo of a pair of sisters being shown off.

At that time, I already felt that the little girl in the picture looked very familiar, but An Ran didn't have the habit of staring at a set of photos of little girls, so after a quick glance, she didn't care too much.

Hearing An Ran's muttering, Ling's face changed drastically.

Noticing her heartbeat quickening, An Ran immediately understood.

His face darkened.

"Have you ever shown off photos of my sister and I when we were little?"

"How...how is it possible?" Ling patted her chest quickly, "How could I be that kind of person?"

"I can't guarantee that."

"An Ran, Master An, Director An, Sister Ling, when have I ever lied to you? Swear to God! I have never leaked this set of pictures!"

"Come on, I often say this to my sister, how can I not know you are talking nonsense?" An Ran took out his cell phone from his windbreaker and placed it on the dining table.

"zero."

"Hey hey." Ling shuddered.

"I wasn't talking about you." An Ran glanced at her.

"I'm here." An artificially intelligent female voice came from the phone.

"Help me check which platforms have posted the photos of my childhood in Ling's phone."

"Received, checking..."

Ling's eyes widened, and just as she was about to take action, An Ran quickly snatched the phone away and stopped her from deleting the picture.

An Ran picked up her phone and shook it in front of the housekeeper, "How can I think you are feeling guilty?"

"You, you, you..." Ling stood up and wanted to accuse her severely, but suddenly she realized that she was not on the right side of this matter, and she was immediately deflated.

"Sit down." An Ran said.

Ling sat down, then quickly stood up and threatened proudly:

"Believe it or not, I'll tell An Xiao that you often lie to her."

"Sister Ling, do you think An Xiao believes you or me?" An Ran chuckled and lowered his head to light a cigarette.

"That's not necessarily true. An Xiao is not a naive little girl. She is also an executive who has come into contact with alien species many times. She is also a person with blood on her hands. How could she lack the vigilance of a venomous snake?" Ling hummed, as if swearing victory.

An Ran was silent for a long time. Ling was indeed right. An Xiao was already an executive. She was a grown-up girl and could judge things.

He looked up, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Give up?" Ling sat down upon seeing this. "How about this, let's not pursue it anymore, and you don't have to investigate it either..."

"No, I'm just waiting for Zero's report. He was a little slow this time. Secondly, I was wondering if An Xin could find a way to make you shut up."

"You, you, you can't afford to play, right?" Ling opened her mouth in astonishment. "Now you have learned to look for An Xin, just like when you were a kid."

"Which child wouldn't look for his parents when he cried when he was a child?" An Ran didn't have much emotion about this.

"I give up. I won't tell An Xiao." Ling raised her hands in surrender.

At this moment, a light flashed on An Ran's phone, and after a brief response, a mechanical female voice came out:

"We have found a total of 247 photos in this collection posted on 24 platforms, including the largest social platforms HuaQ and Baixin... The total number of views is 2106574, and this data was updated to 21065476 half a second ago. The cumulative number of likes exceeds 700 million, and the highest number of likes for a single post is 54. The comment with the most likes is 'Isn't this An Xin? The other one is An Xiao?'..."

"According to the search results, the accounts that posted the pictures on the 24 social media platforms all had the same account ID, 'Anjia doesn't give salary increases.' According to the real-name results of the backend cracking, the account registration and current user are all An Ling."

The mechanical female voice stopped abruptly, and Ling smiled before An Ran opened his mouth to speak.

"I was still young and ignorant at that time, I was just posting it for fun."

"Not many people viewed the pictures. At least you didn't actively tell them who the people in the pictures were. You just posted them." An Ran was silent for a moment before saying, "Does anyone know that one of them is me?"

"I think some of it has already been guessed."

"let it go."

"Forget it?" Ling was surprised that An Ran's eyes were calm. "Do you want me to delete these pictures?"

"Aren't the things in these photos all beautiful?" An Ran smiled. "It would be a pity if more people didn't know about these beautiful things."

"Then do you want me to do some publicity?"

"That's not necessary. That's not what I meant." An Ran quickly stopped him and said softly, "Send these photos to me later. Oh, by the way, are there any others?"

"Yes, I still have hundreds of them, all of which have not been released." Ling showed her nasty smile again.

"A lot. How come I didn't know about this when I took so many photos when I was a kid?" An Ran muttered, looking at her, "Does my sister know?"

"This..." Ling was a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" An Ran had a bad feeling in his heart.

"On this issue, I think telling you a lie is the right choice."

"I already know the answer to the Sanlin Investigation VII case."

"An Xiao is the first person I shared this with. Your mother has more." Ling said and was about to run out.

An Ran quickly grabbed her wrist and forced her to sit down, saying coldly.

"Give me as many as you can. I am one of the protagonists in the photos, but I have hardly seen them. It's really hard to calm down."

Chapter 323: The Gift of Tyranny (Part )

Looking at the hundreds of newly saved photos on his phone, An Ran pondered for a long time, facing his childhood self and recalling scattered memories.

I remember everything and it all really happened, but I can't recall it actively and can only be awakened by some scattered clues.
