Chapter 611
After seeing Zhao Xuan's message, Chen Yan didn't know what mood to use to describe himself for a moment.
Shocked? Strange? Suspicious? Or... reasonable...
After all, even things like systems exist, so there doesn't seem to be anything strange about another world? ...That's weird!
How could there be another world?
This is totally unreasonable!
Moreover, if Zhao Ying is not from this world, then what is she? A slime from another world? Or some strange thing.
Although Zhao Ying looks silly, it's not to this extent.
For a moment, Chen Yan was unable to judge whether this was true or whether Zhao Xuan had become stupid after being locked up for a year.
After all, it is said that anything can happen in the detention center, so it seems understandable that they would be a little stimulated...
As for the truth of the matter, Chen Yan felt that only Zhao Xuan knew it.
So, thinking about this, Chen Yan pondered for a while and replied to Zhao Xuan, "Uncle Zhao, what do you mean? Yingying is not from this world?"
Zhao Xuan took a while to reply this time, and his reply was just a simple sentence, "Come to Tiandu when you have time, and we'll meet. We'll talk in detail then."
Seeing that Zhao Xuan didn't want to chat on WeChat, Chen Yan didn't dare to continue asking.
Fortunately, he had a private jet, so it was very easy for him to go to Tiandu. So he asked his assistant to make a reservation for the evening flight, and then he flew to Tiandu.
It seemed that Zhao Xuan had guessed that Chen Yan would come overnight, so when he received Chen Yan's call at 10 o'clock in the middle of the night, he rushed over from home without saying a word.
The two agreed to meet in the presidential suite of the hotel where Chen Yan was staying.
After Zhao Xuan arrived, Chen Yan dismissed the people around him and left only Zhao Xuan and himself.
After pouring a cup of tea for Zhao Xuan, Chen Yan did not directly talk about the topic he wanted to know, but chatted for a while first, "Uncle Zhao, has the punishment from the country been issued?"
Zhao Xuan smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes. It can be divided into open and covert."
"On the surface, several companies were punished accordingly, and the entire group was fined."
"As for what happened behind the scenes, they asked the Zhao Group's several businesses related to national defense and people's livelihood to sell off most of their shares and have state-owned enterprises take control. They only retained shares in some companies that made money but had little influence."
He said with some emotion, "Anyway, this time, the overall strength of the Zhao Group has regressed by more than ten years."
Chen Yan shook his head and said, "This is not a step backward. To be more precise, it is just to let you return to the position you should have returned to."
"If Zhao Qingtian hadn't violated the rules, perhaps the Zhao Group wouldn't have grown to its current size."
Although what Chen Yan said was unpleasant to hear, it was very pertinent, so Zhao Xuan just drank his tea silently and did not comment any more.
After all, the two have different positions, and even the current decline of the Zhao Group is "indispensable" to Chen Yan.
To this day, there are still many voices of dissatisfaction with Chen Yan within the Zhao Group.
So, he thought about it and decisively changed the subject, "You are in such a hurry to come here, mainly because of Yingying's matter, right?"
Seeing that Zhao Xuan was talking about business, Chen Yan no longer worried about whether the Zhao Group deserved the punishment or was implicated. He nodded and asked, "Uncle Zhao, you said in WeChat that Yingying is not from this world. What does that mean?"
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Zhao Xuan's eyes looked a little distant, as if he was recalling something. After a moment, he sighed and said, "My dear nephew, do you believe that there is another world?"
He paused, then changed his words and said, "Or... do you believe in the existence of special powers?"
"Special power?" Chen Yan repeated the word.
Zhao Xuan nodded, then he stood up and walked to the bedside with his hands behind his back. "For example, a plant that can make you immortal if you eat it, a shark that is so powerful that it can even turn into a human, a circus that can resurrect the dead..."
Chen Yan looked at Zhao Xuan, completely confused.
Zhao Xuan's gaze seemed to penetrate the entire city, and then he said, "Actually I don't believe it. But that's what the person I trust the most told me."
"The person you trust the most?" Chen Yan was a little puzzled.
Zhao Xuan hummed and said, "That's the person I've loved all my life."
He said slowly, "She and I are classmates. I fell in love with her from the first time I saw her."
"She was so special. Once you looked into her eyes, you could see that there were stars in her eyes."
"I pursued her for a long time. But she always refused with a smile, saying that she and I were not suitable."
"I kept asking her why we were not suitable for each other, but she just shook her head and said we were from two different worlds."
"At first I thought she meant that my family background was too different from hers. So I wanted to leave the Zhao family and elope with her."
"But before I could tell her, she disappeared."
"It's as if this person had never appeared."
Chen Yan couldn't help but ask, "Did it disappear out of thin air?"
Zhao Xuan came back to his senses, looked at him, and said, "No. We graduated."
Chen Yan: ? ?
Seeing Chen Yan's confusion, Zhao Xuan raised his hand slightly, signaling Chen Yan to calm down, and then he explained, "I was still relatively young at the time, and I felt that doing things required a sense of ceremony, so I chose the day of the graduation ceremony to confess my love to her and elope. Because it was commemorative."
"But when I went to look for her, my teacher told me that she had an emergency at home and would not attend the graduation ceremony and left early."
"I looked for a lot of connections and found the information she left at school, but when I went to look for Yiou, I found that there was no such person at all."
Chen Yan couldn't help but blink.
After a moment, he said, "But, it is also possible that she got a fake identity?"
Zhao Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "That's what I thought at the time."
"So I returned to the family feeling disheartened."
"And it was seven years later that I saw her again."
"She showed up at my doorstep with a baby in her arms."
"She said she was from another world, and the child was also from another world, and asked me to help her take care of the child. She said she would definitely come back to take the child away. She asked me to wait for her."
"As a result, I waited for twenty years."
The more Chen Yan listened to this story, the more it seemed a bit melodramatic. He felt that this was not some "visitor from another world" at all, but more like a "family ethics drama" at eight o'clock .
So, he couldn't help but ask, "But, this doesn't seem to prove that another world really exists?"
"Maybe she just made up an excuse to get you to help take care of the child?"
Zhao Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "Yes. My reaction was the same as yours at that time."
"As a result...she showed me this."
As he spoke, Zhao Xuan took out a thousand paper cranes made of translucent candy wrappers from his pocket.
The paper crane looked spotless and sat steadily in the palm of his hand.
Chen Yan looked at the thousand paper cranes in Zhao Xuan's hand, a little confused as to what this could prove.
As a result, at this moment, the thousand paper cranes gently flapped their wings in Chen Yan's gaze, and then flew directly from Zhao Xuan's hands.
It was flying very slowly, but it was indeed flying, and as it flew, there was a faint blue glow, which was very beautiful.
Chen Yan's eyes widened involuntarily.
Because of the system, Chen Yan never doubted the existence of super powers in this world, but when he saw that another person also had super powers, he was still a little surprised.
He couldn't help but look at Zhao Xuan.
Zhao Xuan spread his hands. "I had the same expression as you at that time. I even suspected that she was a magician."
"But when she gave me the paper crane and asked me to experiment on my own, I realized that it was all real."
Compared to Zhao Xuan’s surprise back then, Chen Yan’s acceptance is much higher because of the existence of the system.
He was silent for a while, then asked, "Didn't she tell me what this paper crane was used for?"
"Lead the way." Zhao Xuan added, "She said she would come back. But if she doesn't come back, this paper crane has set the direction of that world, and I can find that world along the way."
Chen Yan asked, "Then you...?"
Zhao Xuan shook his head slowly and said, "I waited for her at first. But after three years, there was no news from her, so I wanted to use this paper crane to look for her."
"As a result, I found that I couldn't use it at all. I couldn't use it to find my way."
At this point, Zhao Xuan sighed, "Later, Yingying grew up, and I got old, and I didn't want to look for that illusory other world anymore."
"So, later, when Yingying didn't want to go to school and insisted on learning Baguazhang, I gave this paper crane to Yingying as a reminder for her."
"In the end, who would have thought that this paper crane that couldn't find its way in my hand would fly automatically in her hand."
"So, in addition to being pleasantly surprised, I also took people to drive in the direction indicated by the thousand paper cranes to look for it."
"We went all the way to Mount Wutai, and just when I thought we were getting closer to our destination, Yingying suddenly disappeared."
"I searched for her in the mountains for a long time, and she miraculously appeared again."
"According to what she said, she found a master in the mountains, and then learned Baguazhang and a lot of martial arts. She also thanked me for helping her find a master."
"I was puzzled and thought it was a ghost. But later I gradually discovered that Yingying seemed to be different from before."
"Her strength is growing, and her thinking is becoming simpler. But her intuition is as sharp as ever..."
"I don't know what's going on. I want to solve this problem, but I don't know how to solve it."
After hearing this, Chen Yan finally felt that everything was going right.
No wonder Zhao Ying disappeared for a month or two and came back with real kung fu skills.
Moreover, although she knew Taekwondo before, she was at most an ordinary person.
As a result, after she came back, her fighting power was simply superhuman.
Moreover, although she had a simple mind before, she was not stupid. However, since she returned from her studies, her thinking has become simpler and simpler.
Now, everything makes sense.
It should be during that holiday that Zhao Ying relied on the paper cranes and accidentally went to another world, and then some things happened there, leading to these changes.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan roughly understood why Zhao Xuan told him this secret.
Sure enough, Zhao Xuan came back to his senses, looked at Chen Yan, and then said seriously, "Chen Yan, I know you have several girlfriends. I also know that your relationship with Yingying is very special now."
"Since Yingying didn't say anything, I won't blame you or break you up."
"But I have only one condition, that is... you have to help Yingying solve her current problem."
"I don't want her martial arts skills to become stronger and stronger, but her thinking to become more and more degraded."
"Although I don't know how to do it. But I guess, maybe... maybe I have to let her go to another world again."
Hearing what Zhao Xuan said, Chen Yan couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Zhao, why do you think I can do it?"
Zhao Xuan smiled bitterly, "How do I know if you can do it? But Yingying chose you, and I think it's not wrong to trust her intuition."
Chen Yan suddenly realized that he was not the only one who believed in Zhao Ying's intuition...
After talking with Zhao Xuan, Chen Yan sent him downstairs.
Before leaving, Zhao Xuan also said that he was not asking Chen Yan to get this done right away. Since Chen Yan was now with Zhao Ying, Zhao Ying was Chen Yan's person, and Chen Yan couldn't hide from her no matter how hard he tried. Zhao Xuan was not afraid that he would default on his debt, so he could just take his time.
After Zhao Xuan left, Chen Yan sat on the sofa and sorted out the situations of his girlfriends.
For Lu Man, all they need is for both sets of parents to meet and then hold a small wedding abroad.
Qiaoqiao can just be brought to meet her parents by herself.
In comparison, Yang Rou, He Mengxue and Zhao Ying are simpler. The three of them don't even need a formal status.
Of course, Chen Yan felt that it was up to them to say no. As a man, Chen Yan still had to give an explanation to the three women.
So, Chen Yan’s next plan was decided.
Persuade his parents, then take his girlfriends to meet his parents, and then go abroad to hold a group wedding.
Although he couldn't give his girlfriends a legal explanation, he could at least give them a ceremonial explanation...
As for the "conditions" promised to several girlfriends before, Zhao Ying's life experience, and even the source of the system, they will all be dealt with after this incident.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan finalized his next plan.
Just after Chen Yan thought it through, suddenly, his cell phone rang several times.
Chen Yan picked up the phone and took a look. Sometimes he really missed Cao Cao. Cao Cao suddenly appeared: it was a call from Chen Yan's father.
Facing the person who was crucial to his plan, Chen Yan quickly answered the phone and took the initiative to greet him, "Dad? What's wrong?"
Chen's father's voice rang out from the other end of the phone. "It's nothing important, it's just that your mother wants to talk to you..."
