Chapter 474: Chapter 182: The Most Dangerous Place is the Safest Place_2
If he hadn’t been diagnosed with cancer, if he could have completed the unfinished project in his hands, he would have had the chance to become one of the top ten young scholars in the country at the age of 23.
But fate does not believe in "if," and he was knocked down in an instant, then came here.
He experienced life and death, saw the great changes of mountains and rivers, saw the blue sun and double moon, and even witnessed the "dark end" of civilization.
He had no choice but to change himself, forced to transform from a simple scholar into a "social king," an "old trickster," a "blackmailer," a "King of Betrayal," and an "LSP."
Only by doing so could he integrate into society and establish a foothold here.
Yet, the more he integrated, the more he felt out of place here, and the more profoundly he realized how blissful it was to study without worries back in those days.
When he was immersed in it, he was unaware of the taste, until he lost everything and saw a different society, he understood.
Since he was unwilling to change himself, he could only change the world.
The "Ren Zhong Star" that had quietly hidden in his heart and never disappeared began to emerge again.
The "Ren Zhong Star," which did not exist in his dreams, found a more substantial vessel.
He believed he could do it, not just because of resurrection, but because he had never failed in anything he set his mind to since childhood.
This is the fundamental path of Ren Zhong’s mindset all along, the essence of his pursuits, and the primal motivation behind all his actions.
Now, with the change of era, change of planet, and changed perceptions of worldly customs, Ren Zhong had also changed his body under the effect of the Star Origin Injection Liquid; the only thing that remained unchanged was Ren Zhong’s memory.
In Ren Zhong’s life, he had never worshipped anyone, except his father.
Ren Zhong clearly remembered when he was in middle school, his father remarked while helping him organize his textbooks, upon finding a love letter from a girl hidden inside the book that he himself hadn’t noticed.
"Not all men are qualified to be called a gentleman. Once you’ve done something that weighs on your conscience, you can never be considered a gentleman again. As you grow older, you are destined to become a very popular boy, which is inevitable, but you must restrain yourself. If you don’t love her and don’t have the determination to spend a lifetime with her, don’t deceive her, and definitely don’t hurt her; that would be hurting yourself. Ren Zhong, your memory is too good—you will forever remember that you once playfully toyed with a girl out of ignorance. This shame will accompany you for a lifetime."
So today he ran away.
Regarding whether there was love in Chen Hanyu’s mind between their relationship, Ren Zhong did not know.
But he could confirm one thing: nothing from his side.
So far, he hadn’t fallen in love with anyone.
He could empathize with the other person and regard them as a trustworthy friend or comrade, but so far, no one could make his heart beat in soulful resonance.
He admitted that he was greatly shocked when he saw Chen Hanyu’s true appearance, almost instantly losing his composure.
But that wasn’t love, it was merely the primal instinct of reproduction suddenly arising in humans as biological beings when seeing an impossibly beautiful female.
He chose to close this Pandora’s box first.
After instructing Chen Hanyu to make sure Zheng Tian was sent into the Armed Sleep Cabin, Ren Zhong ran far away in one breath until he appeared on the high walls of the small town, the cold wind on his face finally calming him a bit.
The face in his mind still lingered, like a nightmare.
She was breathtakingly beautiful, making it feel as though one’s blood was boiling with just one look, instincts going out of control.
Ren Zhong sighed inwardly, no wonder the ancients always said beautiful women were disastrous, cities would fall and heroes could not overcome beauty.
He used to scoff at this, thinking the ancients loved artistic exaggeration. Now he realized his own naive ignorance, underestimating the heroes of the world.
There are indeed people who can overshadow the sun and moon, darken the heavens and the earth with just a face.
Such an impact of looks, straight to the soul, simply surpasses the mental resonance of a Telekinesis Master—it’s walking hypnotism!
Too terrifying!
Nothing less than the return of Cleopatra and the rebirth of the enchantress Daji.
With his unstable mood at the moment, he dared not go to Ju Qingmeng’s villa now.
Earlier in the afternoon, in a stolen moment of leisure, Ren Zhong had a brief communication with Ju Qingmeng.
Ju Qingmeng indeed received orders from Chongyi County.
But this order had a premise: it could only be realized if Starfire Town was truly abolished.
What Ren Zhong now wanted to do was to protect Starfire Town.
He conveyed this goal to Ju Qingmeng.
Although he did not know how he planned to achieve it, Ju Qingmeng’s originally nervous mood had calmed down.
