Chapter 114 Shen Jin fell into a pool of blood.
When Yan Yu saw the news headline, he paused for a moment, unable to suppress his curiosity, and couldn't help but click to take a look.
Although the headline said that the real Rong Jin had appeared, the news content made no mention of that Rong Jin. It simply stated that they had found someone with DNA, had a clue, and knew which person the DNA came from.
"It's probably just a baseless rumor again," Yan Yu frowned and thought to himself, "It's been more than ten years already, why did it have to come out at this time? But it's also good."
This way, they'll be too busy dealing with Rong Jin's affairs to bother him, except for Luo Zheng, who is also a nuisance.
Yan Yu had met Luo Zheng, and the two had even fought.
Xie Li's health had almost fully recovered in the hospital, but he was still not discharged. He spent his days aimlessly in his hospital bed, spacing out and looking out the window.
During this time, Xu Cheng visited him several times, but Xie Li's attitude towards him was not friendly, so Xu Cheng stopped appearing at him much before the New Year.
After he stopped showing up, Xie Li felt strangely lonely, but he couldn't bring himself to do it, so he let it go.
Just as Rong's father and Rong Lan left the company after get off work today, they were immediately surrounded by people holding microphones and shouting questions about Rong Jin: whether it was true or false, what their thoughts were, where he was, and whether it was just a publicity stunt...
"Excuse me, please make way!" The security guard could only try his best to protect the two people while also pushing through the crowd. "It's not convenient to answer your questions right now, please don't push any further!"
Of course, the reporters wouldn't listen to any of this. One female reporter asked, "We'd like to know what you would do if Rong Jin really appeared? What would you do about this son you haven't had any contact with for over ten years...?"
"Excuse me, please move aside." Rong Lan's smile faded, her brows furrowed, and she appeared somewhat aloof as she addressed them, "This is our family's private matter, none of your business. We don't need to make our family affairs public in front of you, thank you."
After he finished speaking, he helped Rong's father walk through the crowd and towards the car. The two of them got into the car and drove away.
Mr. Rong looked a little tired, rubbed his temples, and looked at Rong Lan: "Have you made an appointment with the other party to meet?"
“The other party’s situation is a bit special. I heard that the DNA report was accidentally uploaded to the internet.” Rong Lan frowned. “We have already found out the other party’s detailed address, but because they have moved several times, it is a bit troublesome to find them.”
"Which area?" Mr. Rong frowned. Although he felt there must be something wrong, he was naturally eager to see his son, regardless of whether it was true or not.
“Here, this is a message Luo Zheng sent me,” Rong Lan pointed to a location on the city map, “This is on the coast, it’s closer. The other person seems to have suffered a head injury and doesn’t remember anything now.”
After hearing this, Rong's father didn't react. He closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, seemingly lost in thought. Rong Lan didn't disturb him either, knowing that he was feeling conflicted.
After what seemed like an eternity, Rong's father suddenly spoke up: "Tell me the truth, do you think the other party is an imposter? Not the real one?"
After all, more than ten years have passed, and he no longer believes it. Instead, he starts to think about the various possibilities.
"I don't know," Rong Lan smiled bitterly. "I should still go see her. Even if it's not her, it will put my mind at ease and prevent her from worrying about it all the time, which is not good for her health."
Because of this, she couldn't eat or sleep properly all day, and she was constantly thinking about it. Naturally, Rong Lan and the others didn't want to see her like this.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, Rong Lan and her father made preparations and immediately set off for their destination.
On the very day they set off to find "Rong Jin", Shen Jin also went out with Yan Yu. It was also the day that Shen Jin tried to escape.
Before leaving the house, Shen Jin had already come up with all sorts of random ideas. Although he didn't know if they would be of any use, they were better than doing nothing.
Shen Jin knew that Yan Yu was prone to letting his guard down when he was happy, and coincidentally, Yan Yu was in a very good mood today, and even listened to him and said he wanted to go to the beach.
At first, Shen Jin didn't know where he was. It was only after he and Yan Yu went out a few times that he secretly memorized the nearby streets and learned from Yan Yu that this was a coastal area.
Therefore, Shen Jin suggested going to the beach, and Yan Yu, who was in a good mood, agreed and even bought him a swimsuit. They went to the beach together.
The beach here is very clean, and you can see a lot of people, including many adults and children, as well as couples who have come out to play together. It's very lively, and Shen Jin couldn't help but stare in a daze for a while.
Yan Yu stood beside him, smiling as he ruffled his hair, and asked softly, "It's very lively, isn't it? There are quite a lot of people, you might not be able to get used to it, that's why I didn't recommend coming here in the first place."
At first, Yan Yu wanted to take Chen Jin to another sparsely populated beach so that they could have their own world without being disturbed by others, which was a good idea.
But Shen Jin naturally wouldn't agree. He didn't really want to go out and have fun with Yan Yu alone, so he naturally wouldn't choose a place with few people. Otherwise, how would he squeeze into the crowd later? How would he escape from Yan Yu?
“It’s lively when there are many people, and boring when there are few people…” Shen Jin said, his gaze sweeping over the crowded areas, trying to get a general idea of the situation.
Shen Jin remembered that when he first woke up from the hospital, he didn't remember anything and knew nothing. He was carefree. However, as he spent more time with Yan Yu, he could no longer be like before. Instead, he began to carefully scheme.
It was almost as if they were forced to unleash their potential.
"Didn't you want to go down and play in the water?" Yan Yu asked with a smile. "Since you want to go down and play in the water, let's go change our clothes first. There's a changing room over there."
“Okay…” Shen Jin nodded, forcing a smile. He suddenly remembered that back in City A, he could still smile at Yan Yu without a care in the world.
Now I can no longer be as carefree as before, even if I'm pretending.
Yan Yu kept a close eye on him, even squeezing in with him when they went to the changing room, and the two of them changed their clothes together before coming out.
The beach was bustling with noise, and many people were making a ruckus. In the past, Shen Jin would have been attracted by the noise, but at this moment he was not in the mood. His mind was focused on how to escape from Yan Yu's side.
“Let’s go swimming,” Chen Jin said, walking straight towards the sea, towards the more crowded side. The seawater reached his knees, and he laughed, “It’s more fun with more people.”
Yan Yu's mood improved when he saw Shen Jin smile, so he gradually relaxed and started playing in the water with him. At first, he thought Shen Jin couldn't swim, but who knew he could, and was quite good at it.
So Yan Yu wasn't too worried about whether he would drown. Instead, he played around with him in the water, whether swimming, splashing each other with water, or diving, he was having a great time.
...They were practically like an inseparable couple, making Yan Yu almost forget about their somewhat delicate relationship.
The two had a diving contest to see who could stay underwater the longest. In the end, Yan Yu emerged from the water first, smiling. He wiped the seawater off his face and said with a laugh, "Chen Jin, I admit defeat. I'm done playing."
After he finished speaking, there was no response. Yan Yu frowned and looked down at the sea, but he didn't see anyone. He couldn't help but call out again, "Shen Jin?"
Before there was any response to his call, Yan Yu's heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling arose in his mind. As if he had realized something, he hurriedly stretched out his foot to probe the water next to him.
Shen Jin, who was just playing in the water with him, has disappeared!
Yan Yu's face turned deathly pale. His eyes widened in disbelief, and he began to breathe heavily. He raised his voice and called out, "Shen Jin?! Where are you!"
There were many people playing in the water nearby, but Shen Jin was nowhere to be seen!
Yan Yu began to panic. After failing to find Shen Jin in the sea, he hurriedly went to the beach and ran to search for him. He knew that Shen Jin must still be nearby and had not gone far.
Indeed, Shen Jin escaped while he was diving with him. He was soaking wet, and when he ran to the beach, he inevitably left some traces. But right now, he couldn't care less about that, nor could he think that far ahead.
He ran from the beach to the shore and then sped along a main road. He thought he could escape, but Yan Yu still caught up with him!
Yan Yu chased after him relentlessly, his face grim, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Shen Jin!"
This cry instantly plunged Shen Jin, who had just seen a glimmer of hope, back into despair. His face contorted with grief, he ran while pleading, "Stop chasing me! Stop chasing me! Please, let me go..."
Unfortunately, Yan Yu wouldn't listen to any of this. If he were willing to let him go, he wouldn't have used such methods to keep him by his side.
"Stop right there!" Yan Yu jumped over the railing beside him, panting as he angrily asked, "Why are you trying to run away like this! Why! Don't you know? I won't let you leave me! Absolutely not!"
He rushed over, grabbed Shen Jin's clothes, and tried to pull him closer, but Shen Jin shook him off violently: "Don't touch me!"
Yan Yu reached out again, trying to grab him as he tried to escape, but Shen Jin kicked him hard.
"Get out!" Shen Jin roared. When Yan Yu's hand reached out again, he trembled all over. Overwhelmed with fear and excitement, he ran to the other side as fast as he could, his eyes red.
Between them was a straight main road. Just as Shen Jin was being chased by Yan Yu, a car drove across the road, and Shen Jin was swept away—
Yan Yu's pupils suddenly contracted: "Shen Jin!"
Shen Jin heard Yan Yu's hoarse roar, along with the sounds of horns, brakes, and wheels screeching on the ground, all intertwined together, and he had no time to dodge.
"...What happened?" Shen Jin thought blankly, his pupils suddenly contracting. A car crashed into him, and his body, unable to dodge in time, was sent flying, landing in a pool of blood...
