Three months have passed since Duan Junchen escaped.
During these three months, Mr. and Mrs. Duan divorced, and Mr. Duan was arrested by the police for embezzling public funds and incitement.
I thought he would have news about Duan Junchen, but I didn't expect that he didn't know either. It was as if Duan Junchen disappeared out of thin air.
After he disappeared, Huo Yi walked out of his room, stopped staying at home, and found a decent job.
That night, he was going home after working overtime, and while waiting for the bus, he saw a wanted poster with a reward next to him.
The person above was Duan Junchen.
The person waiting for the bus nearby looked at him boredly for a few moments, then jokingly said to his friend, "Hey, look, isn't that the boss of the Shenzun gaming company? His bounty is really high, up to 200,000. 200,000, that's enough to save me a few years of hard work."
"What's with the 'God Lord' or 'God Lord' thing? Now they're called 'Demon Lord'. And the real designer and developer of this game is Duan Lingxiao. He has nothing to do with it. It's really infuriating that such a person hasn't been caught yet."
"But, speaking of which, I heard that Duan Lingxiao has been searching for an NPC for such a long time and hasn't even found a trace of him. He's almost going crazy searching and is online almost 24 hours a day. The most important thing is that the bounty offered by Duan Lingxiao is several times higher than the bounty offered for Duan Junchen's wanted warrant.
Initially, it was one million, but now it's been raised to 100 million. Tsk, tsk, I really don't understand the world of the rich. An NPC is actually worth so much money. If only I could find it, I could get 100 million and then I wouldn't have to do anything for the rest of my life.
"Stop dreaming! Players all over the internet have already turned the game world of Demon Lord upside down, but they haven't found the NPC Duan Lingxiao is looking for. I advise you to save your energy. Hey, the bus is coming, let's go and grab a seat."
The two of them hurriedly squeezed into the car, and Huo Yi's ears became quiet again.
He looked at the photo on the wanted poster for several seconds before looking away.
Not long after, the bus he was waiting for arrived. Huo Yi got on the bus and found a seat by the window.
This was the last bus, and there were only a few people on the bus, making it seem empty.
An old lady was holding a crying child and trying to comfort him, but the child didn't stop crying.
Huo Yi felt it was a bit noisy, so he simply put on his headphones, closed his eyes, and cleared his mind.
But he didn't know that the bus stopped at the next stop. Someone got on, passed by him, and finally sat down behind him.
Arriving at the terminal, it was time for Huo Yi to get off.
He walked slowly on the road, and gradually he realized that something was wrong.
It seemed like someone was following him.
But when he turned around, there was nothing behind him.
Huo Yi frowned and quickened his pace. When he arrived at the community, he quickly found his building and entered the elevator. Just as the elevator door was about to close, a slender hand reached in.
A tall man dressed in black, wearing a baseball cap and a mask walked in carrying a large bag.
Huo Yi's heart tightened, and he suddenly raised his eyes, but when he saw the pair of eyes under the baseball cap, all his movements froze, "You..."
Duan Junchen looked at him, his eyes narrowed. "It's me. Today is your twenty-sixth birthday, and I'm here to celebrate with you. Look, I bought a lot of your favorite snacks, and a big cake. Oh, and there's also a birthday present for you. Open it and see if you like it."
He handed a red box to him and looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
In the elevator with only two people, Huo Yi stared at him without saying a word, his eyes aching. He suppressed the pain in his throat and whispered, "You shouldn't have run away."
Duan Junchen slowly retracted his hand and looked at him and smiled: "I know, but I want to celebrate your last birthday. This is my last wish."
Hearing this, Huo Yi lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions in his eyes, "I called the police..."
"Yeah, I know."
This light and careless sentence made Huo Yi break down his defenses, "What do you know?! You know shit!"
With a whistle, the elevator door opened.
Huo Yi suppressed his emotions and pulled him straight to his room. After entering, he locked the door, looked at Duan Junchen, and said coldly: "For the last time, I'll give you this chance, but don't think about running away this time."
Hearing this, Duan Junchen didn't seem to panic at all. Instead, he felt relaxed and smiled very gently, "Okay."
Duan Junchen took off his mask and hat, took out the things in the bag, and arranged them neatly one by one. He put all the candles on the cake, lit them, held it in front of Huo Yi, and said with a smile: "Happy birthday to you."
The candlelight flickered, reflecting the tears in Huo Yi's eyes. He took a deep breath, looked at him, and blew it out in one breath.
The two of them ate cake and snacks, and time passed particularly slowly at this moment.
I ate until dawn.
At eight o'clock in the morning, a horn sounded on the road outside. Huo Yi was stunned for a long time. He looked at the unhurried man opposite him and subconsciously explained, "It's not me."
"It's me." Duan Junchen ate the last piece of cake, slowly stood up, and looked at him. "I used your phone to notify them when you weren't paying attention. Huo Yi, thank you. Take care of yourself in the future. And... I'm sorry."
Duan Junchen raised his foot and took one step, two steps...
"Duan Junchen!" Huo Yi suddenly called him.
The next moment, Duan Junchen felt a pair of hands hugging him from behind, "There is one thing I have never told you. Actually... Actually, I like you, but..."
Huo Yi choked up and said, "But my parents' accident is related to this matter. I can't get over it... I can't get over it... I'm sorry..."
