"Why am I here?"

Liu Liangrui chuckled.

He quickly raised his right hand, stretched out his finger, and pointed at Zhu Yajing in the air.

"Destroying" delicate objects requires physical contact, but "repairing" them does not require it - of course, this is only limited to things that are deliberately half-"destroyed" by Liu Liangrui, and does not mean that Liu Liangrui has the ability to repair related things.

Zhu Yajing, who had no time to react, was startled and wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

"Oh!"

An invisible impact, like an invisible bullet, hit the hearing aid in Zhu Yajing's ear, causing it to shatter into pieces and fall to the ground.

Zhu Yajing came to her senses and quickly covered her ears.

Even though the pain that felt like her eardrum was swelling had disappeared and her ear wasn't even scratched, Zhu Yajing's heart was bleeding when she saw the parts scattered on the floor that were completely beyond repair.

The cost of customizing a hearing aid is a considerable expense for their family.

So Zhu Yajing's pale face showed a hint of redness, a bit like an anxious rabbit, glaring at Liu Liangrui with fear and anger.

Noticing Zhu Yajing's anger, but not getting the resentment he wanted, a hint of disappointment flashed across Liu Liangrui's eyes.

This seed that has been deposited for a long time... doesn't seem to have received the right nutrients to grow in the direction he idealized.

But it doesn't matter!

Liu Liangrui quickly cheered up.

A long time ago, among many considerations, he had imagined what he should do if there was a problem with the environment in which this "seed" grew.

Liu Liangrui smiled with confidence.

"Don't you realize that your hearing has returned to normal without hearing aids?"

These words reached Zhu Yajing's ears very clearly.

As if she was under a spell of immobilization, Zhu Yajing froze, her eyes wide open, and her expression changed from confusion to surprise. The anger, fear, and uneasiness she had towards the man disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Looking at the hearing aids that fell to the ground, as if possessed by a ghost, she stretched out her feet and stepped on their broken shells with her slippers.

"crunch..."

It was a clear sound of shattering, but to Zhu Yajing's ears it sounded like the sound of nature.

Zhu Yajing's mouth corners involuntarily curled up into a deep arc, and a joy as if she were reborn filled her heart.

Deaf-mute... deaf-mute... now there is only muteness but no deafness...

She is finally closer to being normal!

You will also cause less trouble to those around you!

Looking at Liu Liangrui who still had a gentle smile in front of her, Zhu Yajing suddenly believed that the man in front of her might really be her father!

"This is truly a joyful thing, my daughter, but don't worry, there are still more joyful things to come for you tonight..."

Liu Liangrui maintained a kind smile and reached out to touch the book on the coffee table - "The Elegant Art of Communication: How to Communicate with Others Confidently, Effectively and Pleasantly".

"But before that, I want to hear you tell me why you want to read this book."

The Silence of the Lambs: Chapter 125: Not Like a Father

Zhu Yajing's attitude towards Liu Liangrui is not as resistant as before.

But this does not mean that she completely trusts the father in front of her who has been buying milk for more than ten years and finally came back empty-handed.

In this reunion between father and daughter after a long separation, Zhu Yajing did not seem like a girl with endless words in her heart. She presented a big gift to her father who had just arrived, as if she was willing to compensate for the wrongs she had suffered over the years and tell him everything.

Years of discrimination as a deaf-mute have made her sensitive; the attack on the person with the fate pattern that happened yesterday has made her suspicious.

Whether it was his body language or facial expressions, Liu Liangrui gave Zhu Yajing the impression that he was not like a father. And most importantly, he never mentioned his mother and sister from beginning to end, as if his attention was completely on himself.

Based on this, Zhu Yajing, who had calmed down, felt her hearing restored. Although she thought it was her father who had helped her heal her hearing loss, she still felt a little unnatural...

This feeling is somewhat similar to the flashback I just had... Could it be that my hearing was originally good...

Due to lack of information, she did not make a decision, but she also remained alert in her heart.

Perhaps when dealing with her own situation, Zhu Yajing, who is kind and has low self-esteem, often appears cowardly and stupid, but once others are involved, Zhu Yajing will never allow herself to cause trouble to others.

After all, being a deaf-mute is already troublesome enough for me.

Then the initial joy faded away, and Zhu Yajing, who had calmed down a little, faced Liu Liangrui's questions that seemed to have hidden meanings. She lowered her head, typed on her mobile phone again, and then showed the screen.

"Because I want to practice communicating with others. I want to know how to gain their acceptance and likes."

This is what's on the screen.

Zhu Yajing didn't mention anything about her neighbors.

Even if the man in front of him is really his father, he is also the owner of the fate.

For ordinary people, even if the owner of the fate does not have any malicious intentions, there are still risks in contact, and Zhu Yajing does not want Yu Xiude to take unnecessary risks.

"Really?"

Liu Liangrui spoke in a playful tone as he flipped the book in his hand over and over again, but his eyes were always fixed on Zhu Yajing.

What is the use of learning the art of communication for a deaf-mute person?

How to communicate with others confidently, effectively, and engagingly…

Liu Liangrui, who had made sufficient preparations before arriving, knew exactly who that "someone else" was.

"It seems that you still don't trust me enough."

Liu Liangrui spoke in a gentle tone.

He planned to spend some time and use words to gain more of Zhu Yajing's trust.

Although Zhu Yajing's trust in herself is not indispensable for the maturity of this "seed", it is just the icing on the cake.

But as the owner of this fate, Liu Liangrui also has instincts corresponding to his fate.

A worse instinct.

"If you doubt that your suffering is caused by me, and your deafness and dumbness are also my masterpiece, then have you ever thought about what happened to you that forced a father to deprive his beloved daughter of her hearing and language ability..." Liu Liangrui originally wanted to tease his eldest daughter like this.

There aren't many opportunities like this.

But before he could utter a word, he heard a slight vibration in his coat pocket.

Liu Liangrui suppressed the smile on his face and took out a small, specially made walkie-talkie from his pocket.

This walkie-talkie has a specific frequency and is not linked to the public channel. It can hinder the surveillance of the "omniscient" domain holders to a certain extent... Anyone who has reached a certain level of destiny in the system basically has similar means of communication.

Due to the existence of [fate], at least for the owner of the fate, the most important factor that constitutes the power structure in this world is not top-down entrustment, nor bottom-up recognition, but mainly comes from oneself.

This also means that even within the federation with its strict hierarchical system, and even the pillars that support the federation, each has their own ulterior motives and secretly develops their own factions within the larger framework of the federation.

In the Federation, the permanent members are the six suns and the pillars are the mountains.

Each mountaintop, either due to its own huge size or due to some small ambitions, has a shadow that cannot be illuminated by the sun; each sun also abides by the agreement made when the federation was founded, trying its best to control itself from falling to the earth and burning everything because of a shadow.

This balance has been maintained for a hundred years since the establishment of the Federation.

Until more than ten years ago, a mountain that looked only medium in size at first glance quietly rose up, and in a short period of time, by continuously transporting mud and sand and expanding its territory, it overwhelmed the mountains at a hidden and extraordinary speed, becoming an Optimus Prime that seemed to be able to touch the sky and knock down the sun.

And this Optimus Prime, which continues to climb upwards, now has a shadow that can even cover the shadows of some mountaintops, and even the mountains themselves...

Listening to the story on the other end of the communicator, Liu Liangrui's face became colder and colder, and in the end he didn't even want to pretend to be a kind father anymore.

"Ignore it!"

Zhu Yajing shuddered and was startled.

Liu Liangrui growled into the communicator like an angry tiger.

"As a fellow pillar, she's overreaching and meddling too much... Who does this little girl, barely even fully grown, think she is? Even permanent members of the council can't just pry into information about a pillar without solid evidence!"

After venting his emotions, Liu Liangrui said coldly to the other end of the phone with a dark face:

"But fortunately, she made a mistake this time and we caught her."

"Secretly manipulating the subordinates of other pillars, especially attempting to determine the whereabouts of a pillar of the Federation military like me... This is an act of rebellion bordering on treason."

"Once I'm done with things here, I'll make this young man understand that there are certain bottom lines that cannot be crossed."

On the other side of the communicator, Liu Liangrui's confidant did not respond and fell silent, as if he was shocked by Liu Liangrui's domineering attitude.

Without waiting for the other party to respond, Liu Liangrui hung up the communicator.

His action this time was very covert, and he did not even tell his confidants, so he was not worried that his men would inform the ambitious pillar.

However, the unexpected communication at this moment also ignited a sense of urgency in his heart, dispelling the slight laziness he had caused by trying to find Zhu Yajing.

The duck you have caught may not fly away, but it may still be snatched away by someone unreasonable!

Liu Liangrui can't wait any longer!

"The most powerful [Curse] requires the strongest 'resentment' and 'despair'... You now hold hope for this world in your heart... This is not good... You are simply unfit as a weapon... You are my miracle... A treasure bestowed upon me by God..."

Liu Liangrui's expression was no longer gentle, but instead filled with a kind of disappointment that made Zhu Yajing feel inexplicably disappointed, and he muttered words that made Zhu Yajing shudder.

This instantly shattered the slight trust Zhu Yajing had just developed in Liu Liangrui, and at the same time, she also vaguely understood something.

The other party’s target is yourself!

She gritted her teeth, pushed open the kitchen door, and quickly pulled out a kitchen knife.

But when she turned around, she found that Liu Liangrui, who was originally standing on the sofa, was standing behind her without her knowing when, holding the book in his hand, staring at her with his eyes.

It was like a ghost turning back to kill you right in the face.

The fear that instantly rushed into Zhu Yajing's mind almost made her drop the knife in her hand.

But when she thought about her sister still in the bedroom, her mother was about to come home... and her neighbor who was already asleep at this time!

Zhu Yajing instinctively swung her sword, aiming it at Liu Liangrui's neck.

There are precedents for people with this fate being beaten to death by ordinary people, encountering car accidents on the road, and being attacked by people without any preparation... But obviously, those situations full of accidental factors and harsh conditions do not apply to the situation Zhu Yajing is facing now.

The sharp meat-cutting knife shattered in mid-air before it even touched Liu Liangrui's body, and the fragments of the blade turned into dust without any impact force.

"You're clearly terrified, yet you still dare to swing a knife at me... You're not afraid of what I might do to you, are you?"

After confirming this, Liu Liangrui's gloomy face suddenly showed a smile.

That's it……

It doesn’t matter if he didn’t grow up in his idealized environment, and it doesn’t matter if he is full of hope and love for the world. This doesn’t mean that this “seed” cannot take root and sprout.

Because when a person who understands love loses love, he or she will produce more hatred!

This little angel is still a miracle given by God!

It will take some time for her mother who raised her to come home, but it doesn’t matter. She can start with the neighbor she admires and is obsessed with.

Pain and hatred can increase layer by layer, and the power of the [Curse] can also increase accordingly.

"Next, I'm going to visit your neighbors."

Liu Liangrui spoke in a calm tone, as if he was informing someone of a trivial matter. He gently tapped the book in his right hand on the face of the frightened Zhu Yajing.

Feeling a slight pain on her face, Zhu Yajing came to her senses and found that Liu Liangrui was already walking towards the door of his house.

Zhu Yajing realized something and hurriedly followed Liu Liangrui, trying to grab Liu Liangrui.

But before she touched Liu Liangrui's collar, she felt a sharp pain and involuntarily withdrew her hand.

Zhu Yajing's pupils shrank slightly. This pain felt very familiar to her...

That was exactly the pain she felt after regaining her hearing with hearing aids!

In other words, the man in front of him was indeed his father.

But at the same time, one's hearing, and even one's ability to speak, are also destroyed by the other party!

There was no need for Liu Liangrui to take the next step, just to realize and confirm the fact itself.

A feeling of despair rose in Zhu Yajing's heart.
