"Oh." Norton slowly took out a medicine bottle, "He couldn’t take it and went invisible just now. I don’t know which tree he’s hugging and crying under now."
Qin Lingyu: "..."
Yu Xuesheng: "..."
Ling Mianxi: "..."
The phone rang twice at this moment.
Norton looked down.
A white avatar came into view, with only a handgun on it.
Very simple, not like something a girl of twenty-five or six would use.
Norton’s eyelashes drooped.
[Kid]: So, my dear and respected His Excellency The Chariot, is my antidote ready?
[Kid]: Spinning around in circles.jpg
[Kid]: Love you oh.jpg
Norton looked at the last emoji, his dark green eyes narrowing slightly.
After a few seconds, he lazily typed.
[Yes, ready in three days, come pick it up yourself.]
After sending the message, Norton turned off the phone and began to rest his eyes.

At the same time, in a small forest by the lake somewhere in Hua Country.
Here stood a tombstone.
No photo, just a simple sentence engraved on it.
The grave of Xie Yuzhu.
A gentleman like jade, with integrity like bamboo.
Ying Zijin could clearly see that this sentence was carved onto the stone by Fu Yunshen’s fingers forcefully.
It was stained with blood.
She slightly closed her eyes, and saw the scene from back then.
She saw how Fu Yunshen dug Xie Yuzhu out step by step from the pile of rebel corpses, carrying him out of the sea of fire.
He had just left the Ancient Martial World not long ago, and had barely reached adulthood.
She didn’t need to look into his past reincarnations, just this life’s experiences were enough to know how much he had struggled.
"Yuzhu was two years older than me." Fu Yunshen half-squatted down, raised his hand to touch the tombstone, speaking softly, "He also joined IBI earlier than I did, and when he left, he was not yet twenty."
Ying Zijin listened quietly.
"We learned shooting and combat skills together." Fu Yunshen smiled slightly, "We also carried out many missions together. He was a person with great leadership ability. Initially, I didn’t plan to take over IBI."
He knew he had psychological issues and wasn’t suited to lead.
Until the day of the IBI riot.
Countless casualties.
The rebels, in order to seize full control of IBI, went so far as to release transnational criminals from the International Prison.
They even kidnapped many innocent residents.
At that time, they broke into the rebels’ encirclement to save these people.
"It wasn’t because my computer skills weren’t enough to disable the trap back then." Fu Yunshen slightly tilted his head back, speaking lightly, "It was because he told me to go save those ordinary residents."
On one side, there were innocent residents kidnapped by IBI’s internal traitors collaborating with criminals.
On the other side, there were the brothers who had faced life and death together.
There are always some things in the world that cannot have both ways.
He saved the residents, and to prevent himself from being threatened, Xie Yuzhu voluntarily faced the rebels’ guns.
All these years, he’s been blaming himself.
He didn’t want to touch computers or any hacking skills at all.
Whenever he thought of it, Fu Yunshen felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Why didn’t he manage to save Xie Yuzhu?
Fu Yunshen placed a bouquet of cornflowers down, chuckled after a pause: "If only he had waited a little."
A few more years, until he regained the strength of a Sage, then he could have saved everyone.
"Mr. D, he didn’t blame you." Ying Zijin bent over and also placed a bouquet of flowers down, "Even if he left, he left with a smile. None of you forgot the vows you made back then."
Protect the family, defend the country, safeguard the world.
