Chapter Thirty-Five: Pupil

  （1）

  Yu Jing opened her eyes.

  The venetian blinds were tightly closed, not letting in a single ray of light. However, the human biological clock told him that it was already daytime.

  8:23. Yu Jing looked at his watch in a daze, then suddenly sat up, what's going on, he actually overslept.

  As a lawyer, his schedule was always packed with lawsuits and phone calls, listing thousands of legal clauses. He had almost no real leisure time to call his own, but he didn't mind that; for him, status and prestige were everything. Because beneath his dazzling exterior lay the indelible shame of being an illegitimate child, he had watched as his mother died fighting for the life they deserved, and he had seen the contemptuous gaze of the Yu family's high-ranking members, who looked at him like a maggot; he vowed that he would never forget this for the rest of his life.

  So he left that pale and emotionless house, and has been struggling to make a living for years. Although he cannot exchange his mother's life or the warmth of his family, at least he can look at the people living in that house with the same gaze, without having to crawl to the door just to beg for a mouthful of water, a bowl of rice, or a pitiful glance.

  I remember in the Yu family days, he laughed every day, back then it was to exchange for others' laughter, even if they were mocking him, he would feel satisfied. After leaving the Yu family, he still laughed every day, because he discovered that smiling is the most perfect expression, as it can hide all the emotions behind, whether joy or sorrow.

  8:24. After a minute, Yu Jing looked at the second hand making a full circle and burst out laughing, but it wasn't her usual gentle smile, instead her laughter grew louder and more hysterical, a mix of extreme joy and sorrow that was so complicated and strange.

  He finally came back. Reality.

  Open the window, and the sunlight is just right at this time, casting into the originally dark room from outside. Never felt that the sunlight was so considerate of others, Yu Jing stared directly at the sun, the dazzling light made his eyes flow with tears, sliding down his cheeks.

  He once thought he would spend his life in a dream, when the self in the dream had already grown old and was filled with disgust for this world before waking up. Then he found that he, who should have been an old man, was still the same young and promising lawyer in reality, time had not moved forward, his appearance had not changed, but his heart had irreversibly aged. So what should he do?

  Luckily, he closed his eyes and the tear stains on his cheeks gradually dried. Luckily, he could return here before his mood changed.

  Fortunately, he realized the dream and reality, did not get used to the so-called truth in the dream, otherwise how would he adapt to the real reality. He has been living in a void dream for so many years, if it wasn't for every day repeatedly telling himself to be firm, he might have fallen into the hell of the dream, never to return.

  The phone rang and he picked it up.

  "From: gzhe"

  "Congratulations on your return. Let's celebrate."

  Yes, he is back.

  In his dream, he had been forming his own biological clock. For years, he woke up at 6:30 every day without any deviation. The fake body in the dream had gotten used to this time. However, the real-world time did not replicate the biological clock from the dream, so when he saw that time, he understood.

  Yes, he is back.

  Just like the note name he designed for Ge Tianyu, the Planter is not a god and will not know everything that belongs to them. So when Ge Tianyu saw the note name, he understood.

  Yes, I'm back.

  This time it's real, an absolutely real world. There won't be any strange program codes around him anymore. No one will appear at his bedside in the wee hours with a dangerous and scrutinizing gaze, nor will he feel so lacking in security.

  Then, I should also go and do what I should be doing.

  Yu Chen, Ge Tianyu, Zhen Tiangui, Zhen Xiu and... Father. He will see them one by one soon, what a thrilling expectation.

  Yu Jing smiled, "Xiao Qi really doesn't need me to send you back?"

  Zhen Tianqi gave him a cold glance, didn't say another word, and got out of the car.

  Yu Jing smiled as she watched Zhen Tianqi's figure disappear into the distance, then picked up her phone and dialed a number. After a few rings, someone answered.

  By the roadside phone booth, the hat was held in hand and tossed back and forth. The person said into the receiver, "I've been keeping an eye on them, you can rest for a while, there's no problem for now. It's not necessary to pay attention to Zhen Tianqi yet, although she's making moves behind our backs, but with her abilities, she can't stir up any waves."

  "But the hall is already investigating Ge Tianyu's case." Yu Jue said, putting his hand on the car window. "I didn't plan to make a big deal out of this, but you've made it too big, including that forged public security file. Shen Yi isn't someone who will easily give up, and for now, I don't want to confront him, as it will affect our plans."

  "I understand, I'll try to stop Shen Yu," the man said. "Shouldn't Miss Ge Tianyu also make a move?"

  Yu Jing didn't answer immediately, but instead turned his gaze to the distance, high-rise buildings, excessive prosperity blocked his line of sight. He withdrew his gaze.

  "Hmm. Xiaoyu should be suffocating too, let her get some fresh air."

  The phone was hung up, and the man adjusted his hat. Through the glass of the telephone booth, it could be seen that Zhen Tianqi was walking in this direction. A smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth as he pulled down his hat.

  After seeing Zhen Tianqi walk into the neighborhood, he looked up and saw that today's weather was still very good. The winter in the north is generally dry and cold, and it won't rain for several days like the plum rain season in the south, making the humid weather make people lose their thinking ability.

  Yu Jing deleted the call record, glanced at the rearview mirror, and then left.

  The man wearing a hat strolled into the neighborhood, whistling an unknown tune.

  Zhen Tianqi took off her scarf and sat on the sofa, with a smile at the corner of her mouth.

  Ge Tianyu was on the phone, "Alright, I'll listen to you, I'll go." Then he also smiled.

  Zhen Yi stared at the name on the paper, her eyes filled with malice.

  Wang Guan opened the door of Mr. Yu's bedroom and then closed it behind him as he exited.

  Those known people, and perhaps those unknown to us, are all connected in this one second, thinking or doing things with similar purposes.

  Their eyes all held a certain unknown emotion, a dense net that had caught too many, all insiders.

  Rebirth of the Chaotic Era
