Chapter 1 Chapter 1 (Revised) Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you...
At eight o'clock in the evening, the deep night enveloped the sea, and a full moon hung in the middle.
The Anthem of the Seas was sailing in the vast ocean. The lively atmosphere was incompatible with the silence of the sea. The slight sea breeze made the cruise ship rise and fall, and the waves hit the luxury cruise ship and sailed further away.
The lights are bright, the atmosphere is extravagant and the lower deck is covered with a layer of dazzling gold. The smell of money is burning everywhere, and the power game of the upper class is burning on the ship.
Rock music, accompanied by the blessing of alcohol, the crowd was bustling with noise, and men and women in the center of the dance floor showed off their graceful dance moves without reservation, and the atmosphere reached its climax.
Shen Muyun was startled and regained consciousness suddenly. The powerful push from behind him made him lose his balance in an instant, with half of his body hanging in the air.
He cursed inwardly: Damn, am I dreaming? What kind of place is this? Death at the start? What kind of damn luck is this? No, this... He felt dizzy and looked around uncomfortably.
Time seemed to be frozen. The people on the deck were pointing and talking, their eyes burning, looking over here, as if they were watching some strange drama. Most of them had ugly faces and gloating smiles.
The crowd was in an uproar, talking about it.
"Look, I've said it before, the second young master of the Shen family is not a good guy. Now he's really being punished by his own evil. He's usually arrogant and domineering, but now he looks like a dog begging for help."
"His reputation has spread far and wide. Few people in Jiangcheng dare to mess with him. You better keep your words to yourself. If he hears them, he'll definitely take revenge on you."
"Tsk, he messed with the Zhou family's young master this time, he deserved it. Why mess with this kind of thing when there are so many people to mess with? You don't know, he also messed with the Lu family's young lady a few days ago. Now we are in for a good show."
The people on the shore were gloating, and no one was willing to lend a helping hand. They were all whispering and watching this farce.
He had only one thought: he couldn't die, he absolutely couldn't die. This group of people would be in trouble, and besides, he hadn't lived enough.
A white light flashed before his eyes, and memories instantly flooded into his brain. He had just finished an experiment and was about to rest. Cruise ship, falling into the water, party, several unrelated words all crowded into his brain. The moment he touched the water surface, the cold touch gave him goose bumps. He became more awake in an instant, and a voice automatically came to his mind.
"Ding Dong, welcome, the 1314th unlucky person. Oh, no, host, you are now the distinguished Second Young Master of the Shen family. The system shows that you have a perverse and sinister personality, so no one helps you. Being ostracized by the wealthy is just a daily routine. Chosen one, keep going and survive!"
"Wait! Who are you?!"
Shen Muyun stretched out his hand to grab something, but grabbed the air. What was even more terrible was that in an instant, the cold swimming pool water poured into his mouth. The smell of bleach mixed with the smell of hormones instantly filled his nerves.
The memories of his previous life gave him a splitting headache, but the memories of his original life instantly made him fully awake, and he recalled what had happened in an instant.
In his previous life, he lived to be 32 years old. He was a pure senior office worker. In the eyes of others, he was young and promising. He was a doctor who skipped grades. He followed his supervisor into the laboratory during his undergraduate studies. His latest paper was published in the top journal Nature. At the age of 32, he became the youngest associate professor at Jiangcheng University. He was worshipped by everyone amid flowers and applause, and enjoyed endless glory.
The previous events flashed before my eyes like a kaleidoscope. The latest experiment had just ended and I was preparing to fill out the experimental report.
He was very confident. After all, he had absolute say in academics. If this project went well, he would be able to apply for this year's Natural Science Foundation project. If everything went well, he would be promoted to professor within five years at the earliest. This was something that others could not even envy. By then, the theory of quantum symmetry breaking in theoretical physics would also be supported by his efforts.
But even such a major discovery, perhaps because God was jealous, he felt a palpitation while filling out the experimental report. His heart beat violently for a few times, followed by severe pain. His soul was torn out of his body alive. He died of sudden cardiac death, the most common way of premature death for young people.
He even saw the entire process of others rescuing him. A group of people surrounded him, heartbroken and even sighing with regret.
His elderly parents knelt on top of him, watching the sorrow of their loved ones sending their loved ones to their deaths. He wanted to comfort them, but found that his fingers had passed through the bodies of these mourners and had long since turned into spirits, so it was useless. Then there was a burst of white light, and he came to this ghost place.
Chen Muyun kept struggling in the water. He could swim in his previous life, but this body was not very obedient. The debuff of the original owner's weakness was added to him. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided that image was nothing and life was the most important thing. He directly adopted the dog-paddle swimming posture and approached the shore step by step.
I secretly thought about it in my heart. Since this group of people like to laugh at jokes, I will just go through with it. I will live my life however I want. Since I came here inexplicably, no matter what I was like before, I have to teach them a lesson.
Shen Muyun kept struggling and drank a few mouthfuls of pool water for no reason. His cheeks were flushed from holding it in. He looked up and squinted his eyes at the group of people who were watching the show on the deck. They really enjoyed watching the show and were laughing happily.
Looking at Shen Muyun's appearance, the people on the deck became more excited and started a new bet to see if he would die in the water. The stakes were even quite high.
"I said, he can only hold on for 10.8 points at most. If it's longer, look at how sick he looks. I'm afraid he will die in the water. The Shen family can be considered to have gotten rid of a pest. This is also his retribution."
"The Shen family is also guilty of something. The eldest son is so outstanding, but luck is originally balanced. If the eldest son doesn't have to worry about it, then the second son will obviously have to worry about it."
"No one went down to save him. It would be terrible if someone died. How about we make a bet? If he makes it back up alive, I'll write his name upside down. If he can't, I'll pay him 100,000!"
"What kind of bet is this? I'm betting two hundred thousand dollars that he can get ashore. I'm betting on it. You're witnesses, so you can't run away when the time comes. Do you hear me?"
Shen Muyun gritted his teeth, listened to their words, and remembered them one by one in his heart. He took note of the sympathetic ones, and as for those who watched the joke with indifference, they would have to pay their due sooner or later. But he had to admit that this body was really weak. In just a few short minutes, his lungs seemed to be squeezed dry, and he could even hear a wet rales. He couldn't die, he couldn't survive tonight, he hadn't enjoyed this feeling enough.
He endured the discomfort in his body and made a little more effort. Finally, his fingertips touched one end of the deck, giving him a little space. The air in his lungs filled up little by little, making him feel a little comfortable. He would make these people who laughed at him pay the price they deserved.
The people on the shore watched him struggle, and the mockery they had in their eyes suddenly disappeared a lot. They scattered in all directions, fearing that they would get into trouble. Some of them even ran so hard that their shoes fell off.
"Look, the Shen family is blessed no matter what. Even though the second young master looks sickly, he was able to climb out of the water by himself after falling into it."
"That's right, you guys should be more kind. Who was that just now? He kept saying this and that about me, and now he's here. Besides, the Zhou family's young master was just joking. He wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die. The cruise ship lifeguards are waiting there too. It was just a joke."
"What do you mean? You were the one who started this incident. You were also the one who mentioned the gambling incident. You can't deny this kind of thing. Who should be held responsible?"
"By the way, who of you just said he couldn't do it? This is two hundred thousand. Anyone who sees it gets a share. If you said so, transfer the money to me. This can't be ignored."
The people on the shore were chattering. Shen Muyun finally grabbed the end of the deck and gasped softly. The air temperature was not high, but the edge of the deck was wet and slippery. He had to get ashore quickly. He kicked the wall of the swimming pool, but the slippery wall didn't work. After trying it once, it pushed him in the opposite direction. Shen Muyun held his breath and used the greatest strength of his body to kick the wall directly, and then he got ashore directly with a sudden force.
When Shen Muyun saw the expressions of the crowd, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his narrow and long almond-shaped eyes narrowed into a slit. The current Shen Muyun was not the same Shen Muyun they knew before. Since they were ruthless and ungrateful, then they should not blame him for being cruel.
Shen Muyun sat on the shore and calmed himself down, took a breath, and calmed his violently beating heart. This body was really a little weak and needed to be well taken care of. He shook his hair, and water droplets splashed all around. He looked around with gloomy eyes.
He walked straight to the person who had pushed him into the water. With a "pop", the person's cheek turned red and five fingerprints instantly appeared on the person's face. The red and swollen marks were particularly conspicuous on the fair face.
The air froze, and the group of people who were originally talking and laughing suddenly became cold, and a sigh burst out from the crowd.
Shen Muyun recalled from the original owner's memory that this person was Zhou Shiqing, the young master of the Zhou family. The two had not gotten along well since childhood. He always relied on being the eldest young master of the Zhou family and always felt that the family's power would one day surpass the Shen family, and he was taking advantage of it. Now, things are different, and they have become enemies directly.
"Chen Muyun, who do you think you are? How dare you hit me! Our Zhou family will not let you go! Chen Muyun, you will pay the price for your actions! Who do you think you are? How dare you touch me?"
In Shen Muyun's memory, Zhou Shiqing was not a big shot, he was just his mortal enemy. The original owner of this body was still a little weak, so he had to let them see what the real gloomy and sinister young master looked like.
Seeing Zhou Shiqing's bullying, Chen Muyun smiled coldly, "You? Who do you think you are? And who are the Zhou family? Oh, yes, I think I remember. It's that little family member who got into speculation and profiteering a few years ago, got a wave of fortune, and entered the upper class. He was arrogant when he was young, and now he's killing people."
"You!" Zhou Shiqing instantly got furious and wanted to grab Chen Muyun's collar, but he was half a head shorter than him, so he inexplicably missed.
"What do you mean, you useless thing." Shen Muyun dodged sideways, but Zhou Shiqing almost fell into the swimming pool.
This is one more thing that is more attractive than the deck dance. It might even be the front page headline of tomorrow. Seeing two people arguing, they started discussing with great interest. From time to time, a flash of light was seen. I don’t know which paparazzi hiding in the dark was filming this kind of upper-class gossip.
"Tsk tsk tsk, didn't you say that the Zhou family's young master was more powerful? Look at how cowardly he is."
"Why do I feel like there's something wrong with the second young master of the Shen family's personality? He was a bit sinister before, but I've never seen him this cruel."
"It's simple. He got mad. If the Second Young Master of the Shen Family hadn't held on, who knows...tsk tsk tsk...it's hard to say."
Shen Muyun looked up at the red wine on the table. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he walked straight to the table, picked up a bottle, and looked at the label. "It's only three million. The Shen family can still afford it."
With a "bang", scarlet wine splashed out, mixed with glass fragments. The cork bounced on the corner of the table, bounced back, and rolled alone under the table. On the exquisite wooden table, the sawdust curled up slightly, and the air was filled with the tempting aroma of wine. The wine dyed the tablecloth a dark color and wrinkled it into a ball.
In everyone's mind, Shen Muyun was a man with an eccentric personality. Seeing his gloomy face, they immediately dispersed, made way, and waited tactfully to see if there was any more good show to be staged. As for the paparazzi who appeared on the higher decks without even disguising themselves, some even whistled. This was a perfect opportunity to grab resources.
Before Zhou Shiqing could react, his body reacted first. He felt something sharp scratching his neck, and even felt a hint of pain. Warm liquid dripped down his neck, staining his originally white shirt with a hint of color.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to kill someone? Shen Muyun, are you crazy?"
Shen Muyun smiled coldly, the sharp corner of the broken wine bottle pressed against his throat, "Who do you think you are? How dare you bully me?"
