Chapter Ten: A Renewed Encounter

However, Shen Wansan would not easily let go of those who tried to kidnap his daughter. He confirmed once again with those around him, “Is the person a physics professor named Zhang Feng?”

“Yes.”

A tall woman with blue hair, dressed sharply in a suit, stood beside the sofa where Shen Wansan sat. Her expression was calm, but she still cautioned, “He is a Chinese-American professor with U.S. citizenship. If we assassinate him, it might cause serious repercussions.”

“Moreover, we have no evidence that he actually acted against the young lady. That was part of the exchange conditions set by the Emperor Tower—hand over the employer’s identity but provide no proof, so that we would not strike back…”

As the woman spoke, she noticed Shen Wansan had folded his arms and was staring into the distance with a grave expression. Then he fell silent.

Having trained as a fearless warrior from childhood, she understood that when the head of the Shen family habitually assumed this posture, it meant he was about to make a ruthless decision.

“Let him die in an accident.”

Shen Wansan said this, looking at the tall blue-haired woman beside him, “Make it appear as if it was done by someone from Emperor Tower.”

“Understood.”

Yueya nodded lightly, then left the villa’s main hall and made a call by the pool outside the glass doors.

“You should feel relieved that I spared you from a torturous death—that is my greatest mercy!”

Shen Wansan glanced at Zhang Feng’s photo, tore it up casually, and threw it into the trash bin.

...

At this moment, in a bustling district near Huaqing University, two people were searching for the authentic local delicacies that Li Fengyin had mentioned.

Yet Li Fengyin remained somewhat worried. He feared Shen Liangxin would fall into danger again, so he completely released his perception. For Li Fengyin, who had spent years honing his thinking to an instinctive level, mental exhaustion was a frequent occurrence.

In simple terms, his mind grew tired easily. Since his brain had been overloaded three years ago, he gradually stopped obsessing over conscious thought and instead relegated it to his subconscious. When he operated at full capacity, not only his thinking but also his perception, awareness, and reflexes could be enhanced to a certain degree.

Part of why he had earned the respect of Zheng Chao, the foremost assassin in China, was due to this ability.

In Li Fengyin’s understanding of the world, there was a glaring flaw: since no one knew where the world came from, why rules existed, or where everything resided, why was life so weak?

Why couldn’t one master certain powers or even the legendary fundamental laws?

After all, the world did not necessarily have to be completely represented by physics!

However, at 28 years old, Li Fengyin clearly felt his body had reached its lifetime peak, and that from now on, like countless ordinary people, he might simply deteriorate until death.

“Billions of years have passed since life emerged on Earth, age after age, yet I have never seen a life form transcend physical existence!”

“Even the legendary saints and buddhas succumb to aging and death. Those divine beings can only remain in myths and legends.”

Recalling these thoughts, Li Fengyin chuckled wryly, then his gaze fell on the girl beside him. Suddenly, he felt that with her by his side, his life would be worthwhile!

“Hmm?”

Shen Liangxin was eating the starchy sausage that Li Fengyin recommended when she suddenly sensed a massive wave of thought from his mind. Some vague ideas even became known to her.

The cool young man standing next to her, now dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, also noticed Shen Liangxin’s curious expression.

Li Fengyin realized that part of his thoughts had been sensed by the other party. The feeling was strange, like telepathy, but on a whole new level!

“The starchy sausage is quite good!”

Shen Liangxin wiped the chili flakes from the corner of her mouth and smiled, “Who would have thought that these cheap foods could be so tasty.”

“Mm.”

Li Fengyin chose not to ask further since she didn’t say much more. However, he knew that not only had he sensed Shen Liangxin’s surprise, but she had also sensed his feelings.

“Quantum entanglement…”

Four words suddenly popped into Li Fengyin’s mind, confirming his speculation.

In fact, when a person’s thoughts are profound enough and their understanding of the world sufficiently clear, sometimes their subconscious can judge the basic truth or falsehood of a guess.

According to the cutting-edge quantum theories he had studied recently, this guess was validated. Planck had said that matter and even consciousness exist as energy fields—high frequency manifests as consciousness, low frequency as matter. Even an electron is not a solid entity but a structure composed of highly probabilistic energy fields.

Moreover, the range of an electron’s field spans the entire universe!

Ideas that align with the world’s rules are subconsciously affirmed.

Within seconds, Li Fengyin’s thoughts had circled all this. Meanwhile, Shen Liangxin tossed away her wooden skewer.

Then, in the next instant, Li Fengyin tightly grasped Shen Liangxin’s hand!

On the crowded street ahead, a man with silver-gray short hair and a sharp, capable look appeared.

It was Zheng Chao!

“Hey~”

Zheng Chao’s roguish grin was unmistakable, yet it put Li Fengyin on high alert. This was a busy urban area—would he really make a move here?

Shen Liangxin was swiftly pulled to Li Fengyin’s side and back. Following his gaze, she saw the man with silver-gray hair about seven or eight meters away, amidst the throng, just as the bodyguards had described.

But then Li Fengyin relaxed slightly, because the man raised both hands in a harmless gesture.

Another reason was that two bodyguards concealed nearby had already aimed their pistols at him.

This time, the two guards positioned themselves at different angles, having learned from previous experiences and adjusted their placements accordingly.

“Stay here. I’ll approach him.”

Li Fengyin whispered, then released Shen Liangxin’s pale wrist. But as he stepped forward, Shen Liangxin grabbed his hand firmly.

“Together!”

Her words were resolute and decisive, as if she did not fear for her safety at all.

Li Fengyin glanced at her, impressed by her spirited demeanor, and chose not to stop her. She was unarmed and had her hands raised; any sudden move would likely provoke an immediate gunshot from the bodyguards.

What puzzled Li Fengyin was why Zheng Chao chose this moment and place to approach them.

Watching the two men draw closer step by step through the crowd, Zheng Chao’s smile grew wider. Finally, they stopped about three meters apart.

“My name is Zheng Chao,” he said, as if speaking to a friend. “You must be Li Fengyin, right?”
