Chapter 644 New Identity, Meeting Yu Shaoyun [1st Update]
Manuel and his assistants had no idea how the power of the City of the World was distributed.
But it is clear that a powerful force in the City of the World wants Herwin dead.
To be precise, it was about preventing the successful invention of space carriers.
Ying Zijin, as the primary researcher of this experimental project, had the main task.
If the people in the City of the World found out, would they let her go?
Many scientists are crazy, including Manuel, who yearn for higher levels of science and technology.
Ying Zijing leaned against the door with one hand, not intending to let Manuel's people in. Her eyelashes drooped: "The highest point of human civilization?"
“It’s understandable that Miss Ying hasn’t heard of it.” The assistant smiled slightly. “It’s a secret, and people who aren’t qualified can’t know it, but the professor is fortunate enough to know it.”
"I suppose Professor Herwin has never mentioned this to Miss Ying?"
Ying Zijing's eyes were indifferent, her expression unchanging, as she pressed the door shut.
"Miss Ying!" The assistant's expression changed.
He raised his hand to block, and with his other hand grabbed the girl's shoulder.
But before the assistant could even touch her clothes, he was suddenly intercepted.
A powerful force held his hand firmly in place.
"Click".
A clear, crisp sound rang out in the silent air.
That's the sound of bones breaking.
The assistant couldn't help but scream, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
The man was tall and imposing, exuding a strong sense of intimidation.
Fu Yunshen lowered his eyes and smiled: "What do you want with your hands? Don't you want them anymore?"
His voice remained gentle, yet it conveyed an unparalleled sense of danger.
The assistant took several steps back, his expression terrified: "You, you..."
"Whether or not we can go to the City of the World is none of your concern." Fu Yunshen turned his head, pressed the phone at the hotel front desk with one hand, and said indifferently, "Have irrelevant people leave here."
The receptionist was visibly flustered when she received the call and immediately sent security upstairs.
"Do you even know what a City of the World is?" the assistant said, suppressing his anger. "Before I told you, you had no idea such a place even existed!"
The technology and wealth of this world-class city far surpass those of the seven continents and four oceans.
The assistant sneered again: "Miss Ying, you can help Herwin all you want. The City of the World will not allow a space carrier to be invented."
"Helping him will only put your own life in danger!"
Fu Yunshen's eyes instantly turned cold and fierce.
The assistant opened his mouth, but before he could say anything else, he was grabbed and taken away by security guards.
Fu Yunshen closed the door, his peach blossom eyes slightly deepening: "Yaoyao, it's also dangerous for you to go to the City of the World."
The world's cities are completely separated from the seven continents and four oceans, and they do not communicate with each other.
Unlike in the ancient martial arts world, where at least they share the same internet as the secular world.
Even if they are well-known on the seven continents and four oceans, no one will recognize them once they enter the City of the World.
“I can’t compare to you.” Ying Zijin yawned, her tone relaxed. “Those people who chased after Auntie are still in the shadows. Judging from the information Xinai gave me, the Yu family will definitely not be at peace.”
As the two major families that control the martial arts in the world's city, the Yu family is even more dangerous than the ancient martial arts world.
“I’m not going to the Yu family.” Fu Yunshen embraced her, pressing the girl’s head against his chest, his voice low and cold. “There’s no place in the City of the World that I’ll stay. After I’ve taken my revenge, I’ll return to Shanghai. How about we open a teahouse?”
Ying Zijing paused, then hugged his lean, strong waist tightly: "Okay, let's get a few more cats."
"Hmm?" Fu Yunshen released her, flicked her forehead with his finger, and smiled, "Just as mischievous as you?"
Ying Zijin glanced at him, picked up her cushion, returned to the sofa, and continued watching TV.
Dinner was ready quickly.
The intense spiciness stimulates the taste buds, making it a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.
The two sat down at the dining table.
“Speaking of the Sage’s Academy, something comes to mind.” Ying Zijing rested her chin on her hand and raised an eyebrow. “Sir, you have a code name, but it’s Demon.”
Tarot cards were something she was very familiar with.
The Devil, number fifteen.
It is the sixteenth card in the twenty-two Major Arcana.
In other words, among the twenty-two sages, there must be a sage demon among them.
"Hmm?" Fu Yunshen's expression faltered slightly, then he suddenly smiled lazily, "This really wasn't a name I came up with myself; it's because in the West, demons are seen as dangerous beings."
"They gave me this code name after I killed my first bounty target."
Ying Zijing pressed her head: "There are indeed many people who call themselves demons."
Not everyone is a sage.
Fu Yunshen put down the plate and raised his chin: "Yaoyao, call that child over."
"A child?" Ying Zijin said, "She said he's older than you."
"My husband's status is due to his wife's; you can do whatever you want and suppress her for generations."
"..."
Sinai received the call and ran over from next door in her slippers.
She rubbed her eyes and sat down at the dining table.
The three of them had a peaceful atmosphere, like a family of three.
Holding her chopsticks, Ying Zijing still asked, "Sage Demon, do you have any other information?"
"Cough cough cough!" Sinai choked, somewhat surprised and suspicious, "The Sage Demon? How did you suddenly think of this one?"
Ying Zijin replied calmly, "I was just asking."
“The Sage Demon is one of the most mysterious of the twenty-two sages.” Sinai frowned. “The most recent news about him is from three hundred years ago. If it weren’t for the fact that sages are immortal, I would suspect that he is no longer alive.”
How can I be sure they're still around?
“There are twenty-two gems outside the Hall of Sages. If any sage is no longer here, the gem representing him will shatter.”
The Sages' Institute used this method to tell the world city that there were twenty-two sages protecting it, so the residents could rest assured.
“Moreover, I read in the records that this sage was not a good person.” Sinai lowered her voice. “It’s possible that he was sealed away by other sages. We ordinary people have no right to know about the affairs of sages.”
Fu Yunshen listened.
Fragmented images flashed through my mind.
His hand paused, his eyelashes drooped, and he continued eating.
**
Outside.
The assistant boarded the plane, still shaken: "Who was that man?"
"After comparing the photos, we found that he is the president of Venus Group's Asia-Pacific region." The technician's hands trembled as he spoke, "He is also the seventh young master of the Fu family in Shanghai, China. He is very popular in China and has been voted the number one national male god."
The assistant, ignoring the popularity, frowned: "Just the president of the Asia-Pacific region?"
"Yes." The technician checked again. "However, Venus Group seems to be making some big moves recently. It looks like they're going to reshuffle positions. There are rumors that headquarters is going to hand over the Asia-Pacific region to Joseph."
Joseph is the president of the O Alliance region.
The assistant nodded.
Positions like the Asia Pacific president are easily filled by headquarters staff, and are even less stable than those of lower- or mid-level employees.
He's just a businessman, there's no need to take him to heart.
The assistant thought for a moment and sent a message to Manuel.
Ying Zijing refused. "Professor, let's execute Plan B."
**
On the other side.
China, Shanghai.
The Fu family's old residence.
Fu Yihan returned from the company.
He took off his coat and handed it to the butler, then sat down on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
A year and a half ago, the great changes in Shanghai caused a significant loss of the Fu family, but the Fu Group has been thriving ever since.
As the eldest son of the Fu family, Fu Yihan has no intention of remarrying.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Fu Yihan opened her eyes, a hint of doubt in her expression.
He has many guests, but not many people come directly to the Fu family's old residence to visit him.
Fu Yihan walked over, opened the door, and asked politely, "And you are?"
When he saw the person's face clearly, his expression changed.
For a fleeting moment, Fu Yihan felt as if he saw Fu Yunshen, twenty years later, standing before him.
The middle-aged man had a stern face and sharp eyes.
Like a blade that has been stripped of its luster, yet is ready to be unleashed.
A sharp aura swept over us.
Even though Fu Yihan had been in control of the Fu Group for so long, he was completely unable to withstand it.
He frowned, a very unbelievable thought surfacing in his mind: "You—"
But his hands moved faster than his thoughts could process.
Fu Yihan clenched her fist and punched the middle-aged man in the face.
He was very strong, and the blow drew blood from Shao Yun's mouth.
His action was so sudden that no one had time to react.
Including Yu Shaoyun himself.
As an outstanding warrior of the Yu family, even ancient martial arts masters could not harm him.
The Jade Family represents absolute military power, partly due to their special bloodline, which grants them speed, strength, and other abilities that surpass those of ordinary residents of the World City.
The guard beside him immediately flew into a rage, drawing his sword and holding it directly to Fu Yihan's neck: "Insolence!"
How dare an ordinary person disrespect the patriarch of the Yu family?!
Shao Yun immediately raised his hand to stop Luo Feng's actions, coldly saying, "Step back."
The guard captain tightened his grip, but still reluctantly sheathed his sword and retreated.
Shao Yun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Fu, can we go inside and talk?"
Fu Yihan stared at him for a few seconds, but still let him in.
Shao Yun paused, then said, "Mr. Fu, I'd like to ask where Xiao Qi is...?"
Indeed, without Shao Yun saying anything, Fu Yihan could guess who he was just by looking at him.
This confirms it even more.
Fu Yihan's fingers clenched: "You are that man."
He abandoned Fu Liuying, leaving her to return to Shanghai alone to give birth.
Shao Yun's eyes widened slightly: "I'm sorry, I just found out what happened, I..."
“No, you don’t know.” Fu Yihan took a deep breath and sneered, “You don’t know that he was born without a father, you don’t know what he went through when he was two years old, and you don’t know how he has survived to this day!”
There were some things that even Fu Yihan only learned later.
He had always been groomed by Old Master Fu to be the heir to the Fu Group, and the Fu family had very strict requirements for him.
Even when he was ten years old, he only had more classes and never encountered a life-or-death crisis.
But what about Fu Yunshen?
From childhood to adulthood, I've always been walking on the edge of a knife.
Not a single day was peaceful.
Shao Yun's heart tightened suddenly, a sharp pain shooting through her: "I'm sorry, I... I was in a coma for three years, if..."
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".
Fu Yihan's eyes sharpened slightly: "Just who are you?"
That's Fu Liuying.
One of the two beauties of Shanghai.
With her exceptional beauty, she was sought after by thousands, and even wealthy families from the capital flocked to her.
But in the end, that's how it ended.
Shao Yun pursed his lips and recounted the existence of the City of the World in its entirety.
Fu Yihan clenched her fists even tighter: "In your eyes, are we lambs to be slaughtered at will?"
He didn't say anything more: "You can go now."
Shao Yun's arm trembled slightly: "Mr. Fu."
"Since we've come to this point," Fu Yihan took a step back and said calmly, "I haven't lied to you. I really don't know where Yun Shen is."
Fu Yunshen managed to leave a reputation as a playboy in the eyes of everyone in Shanghai, but in secret he was developing his own power.
No one can find him unless he wants to.
Of course, in his heart, Fu Yihan really didn't want Shaoyun to bother Fu Yunshen.
After Old Master Fu passed away, it was Ying Zijing who pulled Fu Yunshen out of his predicament.
He didn't want anyone to push him back into the abyss.
Shao Yun said softly, "Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Fu. I will continue the search."
He raised his hand, gesturing for the guards to place the box he had brought on the ground: "These are some gifts, I..."
“There’s no need for that.” Fu Yihan interrupted him, her voice even more indifferent. “My aunt passed away more than 20 years ago, and my grandparents have also passed away.”
"The Fu family is just an ordinary family and has no relation to your Yu family."
Shao Yun's face changed, turning as pale as paper, and he could barely breathe.
My heart ached terribly, as if it were being roasted by fire.
Shao Yun stood up silently.
At the same time, he also pondered.
Who exactly are these people that Fu Yihan is talking about?
Was it sent by Old Madam Yu?
The doors of the old house reopened.
About 100 meters away, on a building.
Luo Lei pressed the headset, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes, and his finger twitched.
"Whoosh!"
A thin blade, no bigger than a little finger, flew out of his hand and hurtled through the air at great speed, heading straight for Fu Yihan's temple.
