Chapter 238 Extra: Parallel Universe (4)
"Is there something?" Rong Yuan asked with a cold face.
"It's okay, you guys chat slowly, we 're leaving first!"
Jin Yu seemed to want to continue to "show concern", but was dragged away by Jin Yang's shoulder. The girl blinked her big eyes without any fear, and when she saw Rong Yuan's face, she whistled frivolously and said, "You are so handsome, let's have a cup of tea together some other day!"
Rong Yuan ignored her. He could guess the identity of this girl, but he really never thought that Jin Yang's sister would be like this.
"What are you doing, Jin Yang!" As soon as they left the alley, Jin Yu unhappily shook off Jin Yang's hand and said, "Why are you leaving so soon? Don't you think those people just now were quite funny?" As she spoke, she turned back reluctantly and seemed to want to go back.
Jin Yang grabbed her arm tightly and dragged her back to the car, then said with a straight face: "Don't tell me you can't see that those people in the alley are here to deal with us! If you don't know the reason, you will rush in. What if something unexpected happens?"
"Weren't they all knocked down? What are you afraid of?"
"That man can handle so many people by himself, he must be quite skilled. What if he wants to harm us?" Jin Yang said seriously, "The conflict between them may just be an internal fight, which does not mean that he is our friend. In this case, leaving as soon as possible is the most sensible choice."
"Coward!" Jin Yu made a face indignantly and muttered, "I don't believe you are not curious at all about what's going on with those people."
"Whatever happened, it has nothing to do with us." Jin Yang said. But family knows family, Jin Yang's curiosity is comparable to Jin Yu's, but he knows how to restrain himself. If Jin Yu was not around, he might really get involved.
…
On the other side, Rong Yuan grabbed Xia Yulong, and before he could threaten or bribe him, this guy explained the whole cause and effect himself.
Jin Yu's unscrupulous personality naturally offended many people. A female model who had just debuted was teased by Jin Yu in public because she tried to get close to one of her friends. The female model felt deeply insulted and hated Jin Yu to death. She didn't know Jin Yu's background and just thought she was the daughter of an ordinary rich family, so she wanted to hire someone to teach her a lesson. After many twists and turns, she found Xia Yulong, and when he was drunk, Xia Yulong patted his chest and took the responsibility for the matter.
The relationship between Xia Yulong and Rong Yuan should start from their high school days. When he first entered high school , the "Rong Yuan" in this world began to take revenge on the Rong family. Perhaps because he felt that one person's power was too weak, he successively recruited three younger brothers to run errands and do odd jobs. The first one was Xia Yulong. His family was rich, and the Xia couple doted on their only son very much. They could be called parents of the twenty-four filial piety level. The other two, one was a playboy similar to Xia Yulong, but he had power and connections, and he could find people to help him wherever he went; the other one had a humble family background, but he had been training since he was a child, and his skills were very powerful. It was no problem for him to beat three well-trained adults alone.
Although these three people have their own flaws, they are all the type of people who "Rong Yuan" would never attack others. The connection between them is not close, and few people at school or at home know about this relationship, but they have quietly accomplished a lot of things - for example, they once used Xia Yulong's capital to make a lot of money in the stock market, and used various means to overthrow Rong Lixin and many people related to Rong's, and many scandals broke out one after another, causing Rong's stocks to plummet, etc.
After going to college, the few of them went their separate ways. "Rong Yuan" started a new business, playing roles such as "underground godfather" and "the darkest hand behind the scenes". As an ordinary student, he manipulated many people who he should not have had the opportunity to contact. Although he did not show up, he established the embryonic form of a huge force that colluded with officials and businessmen and mixed black and white. He played bigger and hid deeper, and basically lost contact with his former brothers, but Xia Yulong still foolishly regarded himself as the number one confidant of "Rong Yuan" and would call him every New Year and festival to contact him.
Therefore, all of a sudden, all of his younger brothers were knocked down by Rong Yuan, and he was kicked so hard that he felt his intestines were about to break. At this time, Xia Yulong did not feel angry, nor was he in a hurry to question. His biggest emotion was grievance, especially grievance.
"Not convinced?" Rong Yuan sneered and asked condescendingly: "If I hadn't stopped you, how would you have taught him a lesson?"
Xia Yulong looked at his face and whispered carefully, "We just... took off some clothes, took some photos, threatened her... Really, we didn't plan to do anything else!" Now that he thought about it, he felt that Rong Yuan might have thought that they wanted to rape Jin Yu, and that this behavior was too despicable, so he got angry and hurriedly defended himself. But Xia Yulong also knew that it was possible that they would really do something by then, so he said it with a guilty conscience.
Rong Yuan ignored his thoughts and asked mysteriously, "Do you know who she is?"
"I heard... she's the daughter of a wealthy family." Xia Yulong said uncertainly. It was probably because Jin Yu and the others were not very ostentatious. Their clothes and appearance only showed that they were from wealthy families, but nothing else. After Xia Yulong said this, he suddenly realized how reckless he was. All the information he had received from the female model, and he did not confirm it before taking action. He didn't even know what business Jin Yu's family was in. The vague information made him subconsciously think that Jin Yu's family was just ordinary business people. At this time, he couldn't help but shrink his neck and asked in a low voice: "Is her identity... that... unusual?"
Rong Yuan said expressionlessly: "Her grandfather is the Minister of State Security, what do you think?"
Xia Yulong: "..." It took him ten seconds to understand Rong Yuan's words, and another ten seconds to recall what he had done. His face turned pale, and after a moment, he rushed over and hugged Rong Yuan's thighs, howling like a ghost: "Boss, help me!"
"Bang!"
Rong Yuan kicked him out again.
…
Xia Yulong went to apologize with his brothers, his face bruised and swollen. Jin Yu looked at his pig-like face that even his mother couldn't recognize, and she lost interest in arguing with him. She asked the name of the female model and waved her hand to let them go. She was too lazy to argue with such ignorant little hooligans, and only wanted to find the culprit.
As soon as he went out, Xia Yulong breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to smile, the wound on his face was moved, and he grimaced in pain.
In fact, Rong Yuan beat him on the body, and the wound on his face was caused by someone beating him in the boxing ring. In addition to looking pitiful, the most important thing is that he cannot be recognized in the future. He now hopes that Jin Yu will treat him as an ordinary vagrant and never recognize him in any formal occasion in the future, otherwise it may hinder his father's business.
And Jin Yu really didn't take Xia Yulong seriously. She was most interested in the person who stopped Xia Yulong in time and instructed him to apologize. Even if Xia Yulong didn't say it clearly, Jin Yu knew that it must be the person from last night.
On her easel, there was a pencil sketch that looked 80% like Rong Yuan himself. Knowing his appearance, it was only a matter of time to find out his identity.
…
Jin Yu was still thinking about asking that uncle to help find someone, but Jin Yang had already seen the person she was looking for.
It was a coincidence that when I went to the bathroom during the break, I was so anxious that I almost bumped into someone head-on. When we looked closely, we recognized each other.
The boy in front of him, who looked ordinary at first glance but turned out to be handsome in every aspect, pursed his lips, a hint of annoyance in his expression, lowered his eyes, and said indifferently: "Excuse me."
"Oh...oh!" Jin Yang was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was blocking the door and quickly moved away. The boy squeezed out from beside him and left without looking back. Looking at the back, Jin Yang couldn't help but think of the scene he saw that night: a dark alley, dim lights, people falling all over the ground, and only one person standing, with a terrifying look in his eyes, sharp and lonely.
Afterwards, Jin Yang discovered that he seemed to always see the student named "Rong Yuan": when eating in the cafeteria, he saw him eating steamed buns very seriously; when going to the library, he saw him sitting in the corner with his chin propped up reading a book; when playing basketball on the playground, he could also see him walking past on the tree-lined avenue without looking around.
"I don't know why, but I keep running into someone these past two days." Jin Yang couldn't help but bring up the matter when talking to Jin Nan. "It's really strange. I never seemed to notice that there was such a person in school before. But he keeps showing up lately."
"He followed you?" Jin Nan immediately asked vigilantly.
"No." Jin Yang said, "We just bumped into each other by chance. We were in the same school."
"There are only more than 20,000 people in your school ." Jin Nan asked again: "Are they girls?"
"Boy."
Jin Nan was silent for a moment, then said, "The reason is very simple. Either you two are destined to be together, or you are particularly concerned about it, so you noticed it. Which one do you think it is?"
Jin Yang frowned slightly and said nothing.
…
On the other side, Rong Yuan returned to the rental house and looked at his computer as if he was looking at a parasite. After a long time, he finally turned it on.
There was a folder on the desktop. Even though he had read the contents many times, he still found them ridiculous.
First, a text message:
Hello, another me, I am Rong Yuan from a parallel world.
I know how absurd this sounds, but it is true. Because you will definitely use various methods to verify this, so let's not waste time on proving the proposition "I am me". I think it is necessary for you to know my main activity today... Time is running out, I will leave soon, and finally leave you a small gift, I hope you like it.
——Rong Yuan
No matter how incredible it sounds, he did lose a day. The guy who claimed to be "Rong Yuan from the parallel world" used his body to move freely without anyone noticing the flaw. And his so-called "little gift" -
Rong Yuan looked at the other files in the folder, a large number of audio and video files, as well as some confidential files. These were all information that ordinary people could not obtain no matter how hard they tried. They included government decisions that had not yet been announced, plans of several giants to secretly stir up the market economy, leverage over senior executives, structural diagrams of places like banks, and the intricate network of personal connections between some giants and government officials.
Indeed... a very useful "gift".
But Rong Yuan did not look happy. He pursed his lips tightly, looking very unhappy.
If...if that was really himself in another world, being able to obtain such information in just one day was enough to prove that his ability far exceeded his own. He found it particularly unbearable to be outdone by "himself".
He opened the letter again and narrowed his eyes.
——I always feel that “myself” has a special concern for someone in the way he or she speaks.
He had seen and secretly observed the man, but he didn't understand what was so special about him.
