What was he supposed to do, find out who did it, or pretend nothing had happened? Do you want to continue being a docile pug, or do you want to overcome the fear in your heart and go back to the comfort of the past?

The figure of that person seemed to appear in front of him …

"..."

I was six years old.

"Shu Jing, do you feel that you're different from others?" he asked at the age of six.

"Hmm, that's right. The kids beside me who are older than me don't seem to understand what I'm talking about. My parents are the same. They're so stupid. Those relatives are also very dumb …" That was the topic of conversation between the two of them shortly after I met him.

"Right, because we were born different from others, our brains are smarter than theirs, there are two types of people in this world, one is ordinary people, like your parents and other friends, the other is not ordinary people, like you and me, our minds are more active than theirs, our minds are more meticulous than theirs, our eyes are more unique than theirs." he said, looking me in the eye.

At the age of six, I was much more mature than my peers, but I realized that I didn't really understand what he was saying.

He seems to be smarter and more mature than me.

"Shu Jing, those ordinary people are merely historical and social supporters. People like us are the ones to push things forward. The reason why humans have been able to develop to this day is because of us pushing them and the support of ordinary people. So, we have a heavy responsibility, we should do something more meaningful, do you understand? If you understand, then go home and read. Don't play with those idiots in the mud. "

After hearing his explanation, I became even more at a loss. The thin and weak child in front of me actually had a temperament that even adults don't have. He understood the reason why most people don't understand him and grasped the knowledge that most people don't have …

"..."

The conversation from when I was six years old suddenly came to mind. The influence that that person had on me was unforgettable.

After three years of suffering, I still remember what he said.

An extraordinary person should do an extraordinary thing.

People like him and I have a heavy responsibility to do more meaningful things.

Of course, the most meaningful thing was not to be a submissive and obedient pug.

I want it, to be a peace of mind!

When he finished the last cigarette in the pack, his figure seemed to be visible in the smoke.

That person had given me a profound influence.

With my responsibilities, I needed to do something more meaningful.

After dialing the number that Li Fengyun left for him, Li Fengyun immediately picked up the phone, "Shuqing, I knew you would call."

"Boss, where are you? I've thought it through and returned to being myself, to being the same person I was all those years ago."

"Mmm, that arrogant fellow is the number three in my memories. "Now, come out of the dorm, I'll pick you up."

After hanging up, I packed my stuff and walked out of the dormitory.

Yes, Li Fengyun had changed. He used to be a simple-minded guy, but now he gave me an aggressive feeling, and he knew very well that I was staying in the dorm.

Either there was someone else guiding him from behind, or he had changed too much in the past three years and improved greatly.

After waiting for a few minutes under the dormitory building, a broken electric car drove by. It was none other than the messy Li Fengyun.

"Get in." Li Fengyun stopped and said with an unquestionable tone.

I didn't say anything and got in the car. Li Fengyun started the car and drove along this road.

He didn't say anything, and neither did I. The two of them were silent as they followed Li Fengyun's route.

I carefully observed the route and found that Li Fengyun seemed to be deliberately circling around. There were a few times when he passed by, he obviously had a closer route, but he deliberately took a detour.

I looked back warily and saw an unlicensed pickup truck following a short distance behind us.

Someone was following him.

Li Fengyun was very calm. He rode the electric bike in slow circles, and after passing by a few small paths, the pickup truck couldn't keep up with him. Instead, a similar electric bike appeared behind him, neither too close nor too close to him.

"Stop looking, they can't keep up with me." Li Fengyun calmly said without turning around.

After a series of twists and turns, Li Fengyun brought me to the city's largest shanty district. The people following us were long gone, and the shanty buildings in the shanty district were concentrated, lacking rational planning, and were jagged and criss-crossed.

The shantytown was huge, a small area with thousands of people. Li Fengyun was like a fish in water here as he drove me around, finally stopping in front of a simple house.

He parked the car and opened the door to show me in.

The room was small, about twenty square feet, and compared to the dirty and disorderly environment outside, it was a bit of a surprise to see how spotless it looked.

Although Li Fengyun was dressed in tattered clothes, his room was completely clean, just like how he was three years ago.

When I was in university, he was the one who cleaned up the entire dorm. He was a bit of a germaphobic, and he didn't like dirt, so when I first met him today, his messy appearance didn't suit me at all.

Looking at the neat house now, I realized that he was still the same Li Fengyun, the appearance of slovenly is only a disguise.

There was only a bed and a stool and a table in the room. It was rather simple and tidy.

He handed me the bench, sat on the bed, and offered me a cigarette. He pointed to the ashtray on the table, signaling me not to flick it on the floor.

"Boss, who was the person who followed you?" I have countless questions that I wanted to ask him, but I don't know where to start, so I decided to just ask the person who just followed me.

Li Fengyun said, "Since you've already decided to go back to the sect, just listen to what I have to say."

"Three years ago that night, I was knocked unconscious by the mysterious black clothed man in front of the school gate. I didn't see his appearance nor did I hear his voice, I only knew that he was very powerful. When I woke up, I was in an abandoned warehouse. I was the only one there and I didn't see the man in black. "

"There's a note next to you," he said, taking a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket.

Taking the note, he wrote a crooked line: If you want to live, don't meddle in other people's business. From now on, disappear. Don't let anyone find you. Don't contact your family, otherwise, you will end up with the same fate as Yang Wenchao.

The content of this passage was simple and clear. The handwriting was quite ugly, so it must have been done intentionally to prevent the identity of the writer from being revealed.

Li Fengyun continued to say, "My head is spinning, but I know that something has happened to me. That man in black is too powerful, even the most elite commandos are only so-so." He made me disappear, told me to mind my own business. "

"I lost my phone, it should have been taken away by the black clothed man. At that time, although I was a bit afraid of the mysterious black clothed man, I knew that I couldn't just disappear like he said. At least, I have to figure out what happened. "Also, the note said that if I didn't listen, I would end up like Yang Wenchao. At that time, I didn't know what happened to Yang Wencai, I only knew that he was together with him to take care of you."

"I opened the door of the warehouse, it was completely empty and I couldn't see anyone outside. The place was very remote, I walked a few kilometers to get to the city center, and after confirming that the man in black was not following me, I bought a hat and mask, disguised myself, and returned to school."

"As soon as I entered the school gates, I saw several police cars. At the same time, I heard from the students that something happened in the library, so I went over to inquire about it. After asking, I found out that Fourth Bro Yang Wenchao had actually died!"

"Listening to them discuss Yang Wenzhao's death, I know that something big has happened, that man in black could be the killer of Wen Chao."

"At the same time, I sensed that someone was following me. Just as I was about to ask the police for help, I suddenly heard a message from my phone in my pocket."

"I was surprised because I knew very well that I didn't have a cell phone in my pocket. That is to say, at some point in time, someone had sneakily approached me and put a cell phone in my pocket. There were two unread messages on his phone. The first was, "Don't force me, they caught you. I guarantee that you will be even more miserable than Yang Wenchao." "I know your identity, and they also know of it. Scram, get lost now."

"The second message was, 'Ten minutes left. The further you go, the better. If you don't want more people to die, throw your phone somewhere empty within ten minutes.'

Judging from the contents of these two pieces of information, it's very likely that the other party is that agile man in black. I quickly searched the crowd for a suspicious figure, but I didn't find anything, I wanted to call the police, but then I received a third message, 'Don't report to the police, the police can't protect you, and the police aren't very clean.

"I'm sure that person is right next to me, but I can't find him. The phone automatically switches to a countdown interface and tells me that I have less than nine minutes left. The countdown made a small ticking sound, like a time bomb. "

"I'm scared. He said the police won't be able to protect me. He said if I stay there, I'll die a worse death than Wen Chao. More importantly, he knows my identity. This makes me feel a deep fear …"

After hearing what he said, I interrupted him and asked, "Boss, is there anything special about your identity?"

Li Fengyun: "I will naturally say it later. First, let's talk about my identity. It is very special and secretive. It should be very rare to find someone who knows my identity. I was filled with fear for the mysterious person beside me, and the ticking of the countdown made me uneasy. "

"After a brief mental struggle, I left the library, away from the crowd. It was very hot back then, and although I was wearing my hat and mask, I didn't dare take it off, for fear of exposing my identity. I walked to the artificial lake to the east of our campus, and according to the second notification, I threw my phone into the lake.

Just as I estimated that it was about ten minutes away, a loud noise came from the artificial lake. The phone I threw in earlier exploded, and the explosion attracted a lot of students, I still felt scared. If I did not do as he said and left the phone on my body, I would have been blown to smithereens.

"I ran away from the school before the students started gathering to observe if anyone was following me. After I got out, I immediately took a taxi and drove around the city for a long time."

"I wanted to go home, but I was afraid I would implicate my family. At that time, I didn't have much money in my pocket and I didn't know where to go. The mysterious person said that the police could neither trust nor protect me. The people he mentioned seemed to be a powerful force that could infiltrate the police and even find out my identity. This caused me to feel extremely uneasy. "

"After walking around in the car for a long time, I finally decided to listen to him. After arriving at this shanty, I rented this house with my remaining money. When the sky was about to turn dark, I carefully went out to get some daily necessities and then went back to my room to think about my life. "

"Firstly, that mysterious person didn't seem to want to harm me. Otherwise, there's no need to go through so much trouble to warn me. He gave me a feeling that he was able to distance me from some sort of danger, such as the 'they' that he spoke of. The mysterious person is very powerful, regardless of whether it is in terms of skill or technique, he has greatly expanded my horizons. Furthermore, from his tone, it seems that he is not one of the 'them', or rather, is enemy to both sides. "

"Wen Chao is dead. He just jumped into the water dispenser and died in a state of confusion. I don't know who it was. But I am sure that the mysterious person must know a lot of things, and he might even be the murderer of Wen Chao. Of course, that may not be the case, as the culprits behind Wen Chao's death are the 'they' of the mysterious person, or someone else. "

"When I woke up the next day, there was a bank card beside me. On the card, there were 600 zeros. It should be my bank card's password. I don't know who left the card or how he got into my locked cabin, but it was obvious that he could easily find me and easily open the door. I went to the ATM in disguise, typed in six zeros, and found five thousand dollars in the card. Five thousand dollars is not a lot, but it's enough to solve my immediate needs. "

"I took out some money to use. After that, I would check every day to see if there were any changes to the money in the card. Later on, I discovered that the card would increase by 5,000 yuan every month at a fixed time. 5000 yuan is already far more than my monthly expenses."

"I began to consciously save money and found a way to find out who the owner of the card was. The owner of the card was far away and was an honest businessman. The card must have been lost and had never been replaced. I guess the person who gave me the card was the mysterious man in black. "

"He didn't want me to be seen by the public, so he gave me money on time so that I could hide from public view."

After a while, I went back to the school after dressing up. I asked some unfamiliar students from the other academies and the librarian about Wen Chao and got to know a little about him. The case has become an unsolved case, and the police were unable to find the culprit.

"After that, I continued to stay in this room as instructed by the mysterious person, thinking about the 'they' that the mysterious person had mentioned."

"A while ago, the officer in charge of Wen Chao's case came to me and told me something. After thinking about it again and again, I definitely can't continue to cower. I have to cheer up and fight against 'them' and those mysterious people. "

"That Officer Xu found out a lot of things, cleared out the 'they' in the police force, and found some information about 'them' from the traitor. He found me and told me about your situation, so he asked me to persuade you to leave the mountain. But now, I want you to regain your vigor and return to that glorious peace. Firstly, it's for you, and secondly, it's for the dead Wen Chao. Thirdly, I also want to realize my own self-worth. "

"Speaking of which, you must be wondering about the identity I mentioned earlier. To tell you the truth, my identity is the same as yours.
