Ah! I'm dead! I'm dead! Boohoo...
Amidst the chaos, a loud shouting could be heard; it was Zheng Xingyan's voice, laced with sobs.
What are you howling about? Aren't we still perfectly alive? Zhu Weicheng slapped him on the forehead.
The two of them then realized that they had not died in the car accident, but had miraculously survived.
The entire car had been crushed almost as flat as a piece of paper by the heavy cargo box, except for the exact spot where they were sitting, which remained completely unharmed.
The two sides of the cargo box had collapsed to the ground, but the middle section had not fully crushed down, as if an invisible force was holding it up.
Quick! Let's get out of here! Zheng Xingyan hurriedly shouted.
At this moment, Zhu Weicheng also snapped back to reality. The two quickly opened the cabin doors and ran out.
Crash!
Just as they got out and had not run far, that suspended middle section of the cargo box completely crashed down, instantly flattening the passenger seat area into a piece of paper as well.
Watching the scene unfold before their eyes, the two of them felt a chill run through their entire bodies.
Zheng Xingyan gulped. If we had run out even a few seconds later, wouldn't we be...
But Zhu Weicheng frowned, feeling that something was amiss. Why is it that the exact spot we were in was fine, but the moment we left, it got crushed? Is it really just explosive luck? No!
Saying this, he suddenly thought of something and quickly reached into his pocket to pull something out.
It was a jade pendant, currently glowing with a faint green light.
It's this protective amulet! Zhu Weicheng said in shock.
Are you saying that we managed to survive because of this jade pendant in your hand? Zheng Xingyan's face was also filled with disbelief.
Although he did not usually believe in such things, at this moment, the jade pendant in Zhu Weicheng's hand was actually glowing!
No matter how you looked at it, this was not normal!
He asked seriously, Young Master Zhu, where did you pray for this amulet? It actually worked! It is so miraculous...
Don't overthink it, Young Master Qin gave this to me.
Zhu Weicheng took a deep breath. When we first met today, Young Master Qin gave me this amulet. I thought he was just being polite, but looking at it now... from the moment we met, Young Master Qin had already foreseen that I would face a bloody disaster today!
You mean... Young Master Qin not only knows how to read faces, but he also gave you a genuine protective amulet?
Zheng Xingyan opened his mouth wide, feeling that everything was simply too absurd, because the education he had received since childhood told him that these things were unscientific.
But now, he had personally experienced a car accident and survived completely unscathed!
After a moment of silence, Zhu Weicheng said, I am going to make a phone call.
He then took out his phone and scrolled to a number. Hello, is this Young Master Wang...
On the other end of the line, Wang Er, who had just finished showering and was preparing for bed, asked curiously, Young Master Zhu? Why are you calling me at this hour?
Earlier during dinner, Zhu Weicheng had someone bring over some phones, taking the opportunity to exchange numbers with Wang Er and the others.
Young Master Wang, it is like this...
Subsequently, Zhu Weicheng recounted his car accident experience in great detail and asked the other party about the amulet.
Oh? A car accident?
Hearing this, Wang Er was somewhat surprised, not expecting this guy to be so unlucky. However, he also understood why Qin Ning had given Zhu Weicheng an amulet right from the start; it turned out he had long foreseen that the other party would face such a calamity today.
You should keep this amulet safely on your person from now on. This is a real protective amulet. The two of you were able to survive entirely because of it, Wang Er chuckled.
Young Master Wang, is this amulet... some kind of black technology? You know... I have never believed in this sort of thing...
What black technology? This is a magical treasure refined by Young Master Qin. Let me put it this way: let alone a minor car accident, with this amulet, not even the world's most powerful sniper rifle could harm you.
Magical treasure? Refined?
Zhu Weicheng's jaw dropped. Does it mean what I think it means? Are you saying... Young Master Qin knows magic?
Is that so strange? Wang Er asked in return.
Is that so strange?
No?
What do you mean by is that so strange?
Isn't this freaking strange?!
Zhu Weicheng said, Young Master Wang, is what you are saying true? Is Young Master Qin really an immortal?
What else could he be? During dinner, weren't you wondering why our conversation topics were so weird? I can tell you now, we are actually aliens, Wang Er chuckled softly.
Weixing people?
Not Weixing people, aliens. Have you ever watched a movie?
Zhu Weicheng was completely dumbfounded. You mean... you are not from Planet Wei? You are from some extraterrestrial civilization?
What else?
Wang Er retorted, then continued, Don't ask so many questions. I was forced to drink a few extra glasses by Young Master Xia and the others just now. The aftereffect of the alcohol on your Planet Wei is really strong. I am not talking anymore, I am going to sleep.
Beep beep beep...
Following that, the sound of the call being disconnected came from the phone.
On the street, Zhu Weicheng and Zheng Xingyan exchanged glances, both wearing utterly stunned expressions.
Because Zhu Weicheng had put the call on speaker, Zheng Xingyan had heard everything too.
After recovering from his shock, he couldn't help but speak up. So that's how it is! So that's how it is! No wonder...
No wonder what? Zhu Weicheng was puzzled.
Zheng Xingyan asked back, Weren't you curious as to why I suddenly went up to apologize earlier?
So why exactly was it? This was something Zhu Weicheng had been failing to understand all along.
Although the Lin family also held considerable influence, Zheng Xingyan's uncle was, after all, the top leader of Lingyang City. There was no way he should be afraid of the Lin family.
Do you know who called my dad right before I went up?
Who?
Zheng Xingyan took a deep breath. Elder Wu from Kyoto!
El... Elder Wu?!
Zhu Weicheng was greatly alarmed. Are you talking about the Head of State, Elder Wu?
Who else?
Zheng Xingyan nodded seriously. Looking at it now, the higher-ups must have known about the existence of Young Master Qin and his group for a long time. However... what Young Master Wang said on the phone just now... are they really from an extraterrestrial civilization?
That guy was drunk. As the saying goes, in wine there is truth, so it is highly likely that what he said is true. Zhu Weicheng took a deep breath.
The two exchanged another look. Along with the shock on their faces, there was even more of an expression of excitement.
If everything was exactly as just stated, it was not hard to imagine what a massive stroke of fortune this would be for them!
...
Early the next morning, Wang Er and Xia Fei arrived downstairs at the hotel.
They saw rows of high-end sports cars parked at the entrance of the hotel, twenty in total. They were all Huami 9527s, but in various different colors.
Not bad, you two have a lot of potential. Just follow me from now on, and I guarantee you will both be able to cling to Young Master Qin's coattails.
Wang Er patted Zhu Weicheng and Zheng Xingyan on the shoulders with great satisfaction. He then turned to Zheng Xingyan and said, "Look at you. You got a haircut and put on a suit. Doesn't this look much better? You are a perfectly fine young man, why on earth would you mess around with that crazy emo style for no reason?"

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
