They were Zhao Licheng’s friends and family who had been reported by Shanghai Television Station two days ago.
Zhao Licheng was the founder and general manager of Xinli Education Co. Ltd. and also the largest shareholder of Xinli Education.
After he established Xinli Education, he focused on online education and taught online classes. In seven years, he expanded his Xinli Education to the entire country and became one of the top companies within the industry.
After their performance improved and they became stronger, they started to go public. Two days ago, he had gone to investment firms and stock investment companies to discuss their IPO listing.
Of course, he ended up with good news. Both the stock investment company and investment firms were optimistic about the development and potential of Xinli Education and supported his decision to go public.
Unexpectedly, after the meeting, while he was driving home, he was met with an accident and had crashed into a large truck.
He suffered from a concussion on the spot with multiple fractures all over his body and was in critical condition.
After the ambulance arrived and rushed him to the hospital, the doctors resuscitated him, but… They could not pull him out of danger. Instead, all they could was to barely keep him alive.
After Zhao Licheng’s accident, his family, partners and friends all rushed over and stayed by the operating theater and his ward for an entire day.
However, Zhao Licheng’s body was getting weaker and weaker. Finally, he stopped breathing…
Looking at the long straight line on the electrocardiogram and listening to the humming of the machine, the room was filled with sadness and tears.
Zhao Licheng’s wife was already in tears by his bedside. She cried and shouted, “Old Zhao! Why have you left just like that! Uwuu! What am I going to do now that you’re gone?!”
Zhao Licheng’s friend was also sobbing by the side. As he cried, he said, “Brother Zhao, you’ve helped me so much. How am I supposed to repay you now that you’re gone?”
Zhao Licheng’s partner, Old Zhang, also had reddened eyes. He would turn his head to wipe his tears from time to time. Clearly, he was also very upset.
There were also some investors who were in collaboration with Zhao Licheng, but they were also quite friendly personally. The person-in-charge of the investment agency sighed quietly.
Zhao Licheng’s sudden death was a huge blow to both his family and his company.
At the same time, “Zhao Licheng” was also “looking” at everything in front of him in shock…
He was already sitting up on the bed, his body perfectly fine. When he saw everything before him, he was stunned.
He reached out to pull his wife, hoping to comfort her, hoping to tell her that he was not dead. However, his hands had just passed right through her.
Then, he opened his mouth to try and say something to his partner, Ol ‘Zhang, but he realized that he could not make a sound.
He was clearly in this world and could “see” everything before him, but everything and everyone else were not able to see or feel him.
He felt like his body was extremely cold, like there was no temperature. The scariest thing was that his body was slowly dissipating. Light particles floated out from his body before slowly disappearing into the air.
Zhao Licheng was terrified.
He finally realized that he was dead, and… He was going to be completely dead soon.
He wanted to save himself, but he realized that nothing he did was of help.
He grabbed at the light particles that littered his body and struggled to survive. ‘I don’t want to die. I’ve let too many people down in my life and I’ve got too many unfinished business!’
He was unwilling to part with the world! He had regrets! He was in despair! He really did not want to die!
Just as his desire to survive reached its peak, he suddenly felt everything around him turn dark and a path of light appeared not far from his feet.
Zhao Licheng did not know what happened, nor did he know why his surroundings suddenly turned dark.
‘Am I really dead? Is this the way to the netherworld? The way to the Yellow Springs?’
Zhao Licheng was uneasy, he did not know what dangers lurked in the darkness apart from the light path. Hence, he could only resign himself to fate.
The moment he reached that path, Zhao Licheng felt a warmth enveloping him. It stopped his body from dispersing and he was no longer cold. It was as if he was no longer in danger.
His heart settled slightly and he walked down the path of light. Because he was surrounded by darkness, there was only one path of light that extended into the distance, so he did not know how long he had been walking for. When he was tired of walking, he suddenly noticed a bright light not far away.
He was overjoyed and hurried over. As he got closer, he realized that he was looking at a building that looked like a circus tent.
The circus stood tall and it was about the size of a large mall. It was surrounded by raging flames. The light from the flames shot into the sky, illuminating the surroundings like a sun that had landed on the ground!
There were many paths of light around the circus that extended into the distance, but it was unclear whether anyone had walked through them.
As he arrived at the entrance of the circus, Zhao Licheng looked up at the huge building and realized that there was a wooden sign at the entrance of the circus tent.
Zhao Licheng tried his best to stand on his tiptoes to see what was written on the sign.
After a while, he finally saw what was written on it. There were three large words on it. [Burning Reincarnation Circus]!
When Zhao Licheng saw the line of words clearly, he heard a voice that was neither happy nor sad, neither male nor female and neither did it have any emotions. “Welcome to… Burning Reincarnation Circus.”
…
The next morning, Su Yang embarked on a flight to the Imperial Capital.
During his trip to the Imperial Capital, Su Yang planned to leave as soon as possible. He wanted to visit Yang Meiyue and resolve the hidden dangers in her body. Then, he would arrange Han Yi and Yang Meiyue’s work before returning to Shanghai. As the second round of the Platinum Mission was about to be completed, he did not have much energy to deal with other matters.
Once again, Su Yang boarded the plane with ease. He took off and landed on the ground. Other than watching a Japanese variety show for tens of minutes, it was no different from before.
When the plane landed and he left Imperial Capital’s airport, Lin Jiali was already waiting for him outside the airport.
Although the two of them were bosses and employees, they were already very familiar with each other. Hence, when Su Yang walked out, Lin Jiali did not stand on ceremony. She merely opened the car door for Su Yang and sat in the driver’s seat.
Su Yang sat in the front passenger seat. As he buckled his seatbelt, he asked Lin Jiali, “Why are you here to pick me up?”
Lin Jiali wore sunglasses and chewed on bubble gum. She started the car and replied without turning her head, “Sister Mei wanted to pick you up at first, but she had to handle the check out at the hospital, so I volunteered to come instead.”
After that, Lin Jiali then added, “What’s the matter? You don’t want to see me?”
Su Yang shook his head. “How is that possible?”
Lin Jiali smiled and said, “I thought you would abandon your old love now that you’ve found your new one.”
Just when Su Yang was about to continue, he suddenly snapped out of his daze and said, “What do you mean by new love and old love? Stop accusing me!”
Lin Jiali glanced at Su Yang. However, because she was wearing sunglasses, Su Yang could not tell what her expression was. “What’s the matter? You haven’t got the guts to admit it?”
She glanced at the rearview mirror and said casually, “The big boss has actually flown all the way from Shanghai to Imperial Capital for an artiste who’s ill, a trainee as a matter of fact. Tsk tsk, those who aren’t aware might think she’s the boss’s wife.”
Su Yang was confused.
‘Why are her words getting more and more twisted!
‘I haven’t got any malicious intentions at all!
‘I only feel that Yang Meiyue would be able to earn money for me in the future. Moreover, she has some dangerous substance on her, so I deliberately took a trip to come here. How has Lin Jiali able to make it sound so different?’
Even though Su Yang’s [Space Traversing Eyes] kept showing up notifications of [Jealousy], but Su Yang still felt that Lin Jiali’s reason for being jealous was very weird.
‘Why are you jealous of a little girl?
‘Try being jealous of someone else if you dare…’
Throughout the rest of the journey, Lin Jiali chatted with Su Yang indirectly about Yang Meiyue. She talked about how Yang Meiyue was the best, how cute Yang Meiyue was and how beautiful Yang Meiyue was.
They were all positive statements of Yang Meiyue, but when it arrived at Su Yang’s ears, he only felt that… ‘This is all a trap!’
In the end, Su Yang decided to keep his mouth shut and let Lin Jiali speak as she pleased.
Su Yang ignored Lin Jiali and Lin Jiali could only vent her anger on her car. Even though she was within the speed limit, she was actually very close to the borderline of going past the speed limit…
Therefore, with the help of her expert driving skills, the car soon arrived at the hospital.
When they reached the hospital, Su Yang asked, “Is this the place?”
Lin Jiali glanced at Su Yang. “What’s wrong? Are you afraid that I will drive you to the wrong place so that you won’t be able to see Mei Yue?”
Su Yang was speechless.
‘My goodness! I surrender, are you happy now?!’
When Su Yang got out of the car, Lin Jiali finally stopped provoking him.
She rolled down the window and waved her hand. “I won’t be going in. Sister Mei should be inside, you can call her directly.”
After that, she hesitated for a while before adding, “Right then, let’s have a meal together when you’re free.”
[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Unhappy]…
Without waiting for Su Yang’s reply, Lin Jiali drove off.
Su Yang placed his hand down when it was half raised. He looked at the tail of the car with a conflicted expression. ‘This entire journey has really been like Shuraba…’ Have you seen a solo Shuraba before?
The car drove out of the hospital and went on for another few hundred meters. Lin Jiali sighed and took off her sunglasses.
There were dark circles under her eyes behind those sunglasses, it was obvious that she did not sleep well last night. As she drove, she mumbled softly, “Lin Jiali, Lin Jiali! What’s wrong with you? Why can’t you keep your cool?”
“You shouldn’t be like this! What are you doing!”
“What have you been saying during this entire journey!?”
“You’re just trying to piss him off on purpose!”
“Ah! Ah! Sh*t… Sh*t!”
In the end, Lin Jiali stopped the car by the roadside and slapped her face. She said angrily, “It’s over, it’s over! This is really over for me!”
…
On the other hand, Su Yang entered the hospital and gave Tan Mei a call. He told her his location in a low voice.
Very soon, Tan Mei went downstairs to fetch Su Yang.
Su Yang and Tan Mei went upstairs together. In the lift, Su Yang asked, “What happened to Mei Yue? Did the doctor find anything wrong?”
Tan Mei shook her head and said, “The doctor said that it was a stomach ulcer. After careful investigation, they weren’t able to find any problems. Then, he prescribed some medicine for it and there was nothing else after that.”
Su Yang frowned. ‘Stomach ulcer? That’s it?’
Su Yang was in disbelief.
After all, doctors usually judged the illness based on the symptoms before giving a diagnosis based on the examination. If it was a complicated illness and the doctor had made the wrong judgment from the beginning, then it was very likely that the doctor would have misdiagnosed due to their usual reflexes.
However, Su Yang wasn’t a doctor and he did not dare to be so sure that Mei Yue did not have a stomach ulcer, but another dangerous substance instead, causing her to have gastric problems.
After all, when Su Yang thought about it carefully, he could not think of anything dangerous that could cause gastric problems. He even went online to check but could not find anything.
At the end of the day, he still needed to take a look himself and see if it was a dangerous item at play!
