Chapter 329: Out-of-Control Frenzy
When Li Yan took control of Liu Chen, it wasn’t just about leaving a suicide note, dying, etc., but also making him divert the money meant for revenge (including against Paradise Group). This also included making Liu Chen call Fang William to leave his house and meet at a set location to discuss progress, celebrate victories, and express gratitude in person.
Fang William agreed to the meeting almost without hesitation.
Because he was already embroiled in the incident, he was already considered one of the parties involved. He was also afraid that Li Yan might discover he was an accomplice in providing suggestions and avenues for Liu Yuyang’s hired assassin plan. Therefore, helping Liu Chen with revenge was said to be for Liu Yuyang’s friendship, but it was more about eradicating his own potential danger.
Apart from eliminating Li Yan, Fang William had other thoughts he had not yet revealed!
After Liu Yuyang’s incident, Fang William was initially nervous, but after understanding it, not only did he disclose Liu Yuyang’s connections with Zhang Yurong and Li Yan, but he also regularly visited the Liu family eagerly. He even went out of his way to establish connections with global assassin platforms, not just for peace of mind and stability, but also eyeing Liu Chen’s wealth!
Given his relationship with Liu Yuyang, he was naturally aware of the basic situation of the Liu family. He knew Liu Yuyang was an only son. Once he died, there would be no direct heir. Although he wasn’t very clear about Liu Chen’s wealth, he could roughly estimate it, which was an opportunity that seemed like a windfall for Fang William.
Indeed, he was neither Liu Chen’s child nor related to Liu Chen’s wife’s side. He was just Liu Yuyang’s friend. But now, with Liu Chen nearly losing his mind from the death of his only son without an heir, this was an opportunity! Being the same age as Liu Yuyang and very familiar, Fang William intentionally imitated Liu Yuyang’s clothing, habits, and temperament, offering help, comfort, and care by their side as a younger generation. At moments like this, it was possible to become a comforting and substitute figure for them.
As long as this step succeeded, making them psychologically accept him or just get used to his presence, Fang William could become closer in their hearts than other friends and relatives. At the right time, he would give an emotional performance, expressing willingness to serve as the foster son of dear friend Liu Yuyang to serve the couple till their end, acknowledging them as godparents. If this step succeeded too, inheriting a significant portion of the Liu family’s wealth wouldn’t just be wishful thinking!
Liu Yuyang was born with a silver spoon, had a good family background, and even if he was a spendthrift, he could live a wealthy life. Moreover, his capabilities were strong. Even if it’s difficult to surpass his family due to the circumstances, maintaining the family business wasn’t a problem. However, greed is one of human’s inherent weaknesses, and it’s difficult to restrain, especially for young people. Thus, by marrying Zhang Yurong, he really achieved wealth and beauty. By inheriting the Zhang family’s enterprises, it wasn’t just about surpassing his predecessors; it could elevate the Liu family into a renowned noble family.
Fang William’s family wasn’t as prominent as Liu’s, but he was also born with a silver spoon, similar to Liu Yuyang. But compared to Liu Yuyang being an only child, he was not as fortunate; he had a brother and sister, relying more on himself, and if he counts on inheriting family wealth, he might only get one-third at most. Thus, if he could become Liu Chen’s godson and inherit a part of Liu Chen’s estate, it would be a completely different situation.
Alternatively, even if he couldn’t become Liu Chen’s godson or inherit wealth, gaining trust to become a part of the revenge process was a valuable thing. He knew well that Liu Chen had liquidated a substantial amount of funds for revenge, specifically to bring down Paradise Group. Even if a part of it passed through his hands, he could gain considerable returns. It would be a business transaction.
During this period, he was very concerned about the Liu family’s matters. Initially, in the eyes of Liu Chen and his wife, he led their son astray and was unwelcome. But now, they began to accept him. Fang William maintained a very good attitude, treating them better than his biological parents. Tonight would mark the official start of revenge, and he was eager to report the good news to Liu Chen over the phone.
Under such circumstances, Liu Chen didn’t ask him to go to the Liu family but instead to meet outside, which surprised but also delighted Fang William. This indicated that Liu Chen was beginning to value him more, no longer feeling like someone who could be summoned or dismissed at will. It might even be the beginning of their next plan’s discussion.
Therefore, Fang William kept a very positive image, notified no one, and arrived at the appointed place by Liu Chen (Li Yan).
As a result, he didn’t encounter Fang William upon arrival but instead met a stranger. Before he could get a clear look at this person, he lost consciousness and fainted.
...
In a secluded place, Duan Haibo handed the unconscious Fang William to Li Yan, who used "Heart Demon" again, merging with Duan Haibo’s consciousness to gather information. This way, he discovered the account and password Fang William used to assign assassination tasks and confirmed the plans known at that moment only to Liu Chen and Fang William.
Fang William couldn’t be left alive, as leaving him alive would pose a future threat.
While Fang William, knocked unconscious by Duan Haibo, was controlled using "Heart Demon," it was easier compared to when people were conscious. However, the impact on Li Yan’s brain was unparalleled!
He was a normal person, without problems like amnesia or forgetfulness, his brain functions saturated. That night, the integration of another’s consciousness felt like a tsunami against his own. Li Yan managed to withstand it, yet without proper rest, forgetting or digesting those foreign thoughts. Instead, he repeated the process, adding an overwhelming amount of consciousness, impacting his brain with tsunami-plus-earthquake forcefulness!
This was an adventure, but also a challenge Li Yan imposed upon himself.
It was after handling Liu Chen’s impact, having not noticed any significant backlash, that he dared to attempt it again. According to his estimation, he believed that as long as he could withstand the initial impact of consciousness merging, avoiding turning idiotic, he faced no significant risk.
His challenge was successful, remaining mentally robust, guarding his brain boundaries, avoiding turning idiotic or fainting. Yet, with his brain now containing three times the mental capacity, staying conscious was already a struggle, let alone attempting to also control Fang William, which was extremely, extremely taxing!
The duration, this time, was much shorter than with Liu Chen. It wasn’t that Li Yan didn’t want to perfect the aspect, but he feared reaching his limits soon.
He wanted to return to the parked place, to go home, where Yurong and the others awaited him.
But he couldn’t!
Because at that moment, he was not only bearing the consciousness capacity of three people, highly taxing, making him almost unable to hold on; also, after integrating Liu Chen’s consciousness and memories, he could still control his brain. Yet, upon merging Fang William’s, he began losing control, like a tsunami-plus-earthquake impact that broke through and awakened completely his normally-locked memories!
...
According to Li Yan’s research, the so-called ’backlash’ of "Heart Demon" was stirring his inner demons. Such a stimulus wasn’t restricted to using "Heart Demon." For example, even retelling past regrettable experiences to Qiao Huanxuan could intensely stimulate. Using "Heart Demon" tonight strongly stimulated his internal heart demon. Yet, the fusion of Liu Chen’s consciousness sufficiently diluted the stimulation, possibly due to the vast information influx.
——This was a conclusion Li Yan considered after not experiencing significant backlash before.
’It’s like a bag of salt submerged in water; if the bag isn’t punctured, the salt won’t dissolve, and the water won’t turn saline. The bigger the puncture, the more salt spills out, making the water saltier. But if nearly double the water is injected despite a puncture, the salt, once dissolved, is diluted and less salty.’
Likewise, in his current situation, it’s like the salt bag was further punctured when more water was injected; when the hole is expanded enough, it can no longer protect the salt bag, allowing all salts to flood out and mix with the water!
This outcome was something he hadn’t anticipated. Before, the integration of Liu Chen’s consciousness hadn’t induced the expected intense backlash but led him to confidently use this convenient method again, assuming there wouldn’t be problems if he endured. Surprisingly, this led to the strongest backlash he’d ever encountered!
The now-out-of-control Li Yan couldn’t return. Sprinting down the streets, with his last thread of clarity, he sought a nearby entertainment venue, hoping an indulgence with women might stifle the eruption. It seemed the only workable solution!
Furthermore, where there seemed plentiful "places" while driving and spotting neon signs, personal running speed couldn’t match car speeds, inevitably encountering fewer such venues in a short time.
As Li Yan spiraled into uncontrollable frenzy, with bloodshot eyes, ready to wreak untold havoc on the streets, a motorcycle thundered in. The rider, approaching from behind, used the bike’s momentum. Just like that, the cyclist struck the back of Li Yan’s head, rendering him unconscious, sprawled on the ground!
The helmeted motorcycle rider swiftly maneuvered, lifting Li Yan onto the back of the bike before making a quick exit. The rapidity of the entire scene left onlookers surprised but unwitnessed by a crowd. Pulling Li Yan onto the bike had been somewhat challenging, suggesting it was a girl...
