54: Chapter 54 Jiangbei and Chunan Xuan

Lin Heng rubbed his eyes, making sure he hadn't seen wrong.

Liu Ziyi, is that definitely the name?

He remembered that the girlfriend mentioned in his simulations involving Lin One and Lin Two was Liu Ziyi, right?

During Lin Three's simulation, he had high-profile tried to find this girl and then got dumped.

Now Prisoner 5 has encountered this girl named Liu Ziyi again?

"Same name?" Lin Heng muttered to himself.

He felt it was unlikely.

Could it really be such a coincidence?

"Fate, it really is a wondrous thing," Lin Heng sighed.

[You froze for a moment upon hearing the girl's name.]

["Liu Ziyi?" You looked at her face and softly repeated the name.]

["What's wrong? Do you know me?" Liu Ziyi looked puzzled.]

[You stared at her face for a long time.]

[Round face, almond-shaped eyes, a nose that was neither too high nor too low, and lips slightly upturned, carrying a natural curve.]

[She couldn't compare to Zhao Leyin or Shen Binger.]

[However, you just felt that this face was very beautiful and pleasing to the eye.]

[It was a feeling you couldn't quite put into words.]

[If you really had to give this feeling a name.]

[Then it would be love at first sight.]

[The rain in Fei City had stopped, and sunlight shone through the window into the room. Liu Ziyi stood backlit, her hair gilded with a golden edge by the sunlight.]

[You are Lin Heng, twenty-four years old this year. You once swam in a white sea, but now you feel like you've fallen in love!]

"Prisoner 5, do you deserve it?" Lin Heng said. "How many girls have you ruined over these years? And you're saying you've fallen in love? Is that even possible?"

[Liu Ziyi's face flushed red from your gaze, and she turned her head away.]

[She casually tossed down a piece of clothing: "This is my shirt; although it's a bit small, you should be able to wear it."]

[You quickly put on the clothes.]

[Liu Ziyi then handed over a bag: "These are your clothes; I washed them for you, and they've already been dried."]

[You took the clothes and thanked her.]

[You left.]

[Standing outside Liu Ziyi's rented apartment, the corners of your mouth inexplicably curled up.]

[You began to pursue Liu Ziyi, and it seemed she already had a favorable impression of you.]

[In 2033 of the Dragon Kingdom, you were twenty-five years old, and you and Liu Ziyi established a romantic relationship.]

[In 2034 of the Dragon Kingdom, you were twenty-six years old, and Liu Ziyi took you to meet her parents for the first time.]

[You saw Liu Ziyi's father, Liu Jianjun, again.]

[Liu Jianjun was originally just a manager at a company in Fei City.]

[Because of you, Liu Jianjun's career had progressed rapidly over the past two years; he was already the company's vice president and was about to become the general manager.]

[He was sitting on the sofa, looking at you.]

[You could tell he was very dissatisfied with you.]

["Do you think you are worthy of Ziyi?"]

["I really don't know why Ziyi likes you. The son of our company's Chairman Chen speaks eight languages, returned from studying abroad, and has an annual income of at least a few million. Look at yourself—can you even come up with a million right now?"]

["Not to mention anything else, the bride price is one million, and not a single cent less."]

[Liu Jianjun said this to you while smoking.]

["Dad!" Liu Ziyi saw her father treating you like this and wanted to speak up for you, but was glared back by a look from him.]

[You didn't say anything, just offered a forced smile.]

[The next day, as soon as Liu Jianjun arrived at the company, he felt the atmosphere was off.]

["Vice President Liu! Vice President Liu!" The secretary hurried out of the office and said, "Something big has happened! Our company has been acquired by a big shot!"]

["What?" Liu Jianjun was stunned. "Who acquired it?"]

["I don't know! It's said to be a sky-high figure, directly pressed down from the Imperial Capital!" Old Wang lowered his voice. "Guess what? A normal acquisition requires going through procedures like due diligence, approval, and signing, which would take at least two weeks. But this big shot just threw out a document stamped with the Imperial Capital's No. 1 official seal—in less than two hours, all procedures were completed!"]

[Liu Jianjun gasped upon hearing this.]

["By the way, Chairman Chen and the others are all in the conference room now, you should go quickly too!" said the secretary.]

[Liu Jianjun walked quickly toward the conference room, his mind in a mess.]

[Inside the conference room, the air was thick with smoke. Several old shareholders sat around the long table with grim expressions. The original major shareholder, Chairman Chen, sat at the head of the table. A large portion of the cigarette in his hand had burned down, and he didn't even bother to flick the ash falling onto the table.]

["Old Liu is here." Chairman Chen looked up at him with a hoarse voice. "Sit down."]

["Chairman Chen, what exactly is going on?" Liu Jianjun pulled over a chair and sat down.]

[Chairman Chen glanced at Liu Jianjun but didn't speak. He had probably guessed that this might all be related to Liu Jianjun. In fact, two years ago, when the company's business was struggling, the Shen Family of Fei City had stepped in to save the entire company.]

[The people from the Shen Family hadn't asked for anything, just told him to promote Liu Jianjun.]

[Now that this incident had occurred, it was impossible not to connect the two.]

[Chairman Chen sighed; it looked like Liu Jianjun knew nothing.]

["When the new director arrives, you will know everything," Chairman Chen said.]

[Thirty minutes later, the door to the conference room was opened.]

[A young man in a black suit walked to the head of the table.]

[The moment he saw the young man, Liu Jianjun's pen dropped with a "clatter".]

[In the evening, you went to Liu Ziyi's home again.]

["My good son-in-law, that you could take a liking to our Ziyi is truly a sign that the ancestral graves of the Liu family are smoking with good fortune."]

["Bride price? What bride price? As long as you and Ziyi are happy, why would we need any bride price!"]

["Five hundred thousand? No, no, no, we don't want a single cent. Son-in-law, you must be joking."]

["Alright, alright, then we'll listen to you, son-in-law, and take the five hundred thousand as a token!"]

[Liu Jianjun poured you another glass of wine.]

[In 2035 of the Dragon Kingdom, you were twenty-seven years old, and you got married.]

["Now I am your wife!" Liu Ziyi wore a red wedding dress, and you were the only reflection in her eyes.]

[She closed her eyes.]

[You leaned over slightly and held her in your arms.]

["Will the groom please kiss the bride."]

[You kissed your wife.]

Lin Heng looked at the text on the simulator, wanting to say something, but pouted and finally only said: "666!"

[In 2037 of the Dragon Kingdom, you were twenty-nine years old, and you had a child, a daughter whom you named Lin Xier.]

[The little one looked chubby and very cute.]

[In 2038 of the Dragon Kingdom, you were 30 years old, and you entered the Sacred Realm.]

[In 2048 of the Dragon Kingdom, you were forty years old, and you were crowned as a Marshal, known as Marshal Lin.]

[Over the past ten years, you had matured a lot, and your body carried a much more stern and murderous aura. You had gained a lot of experience in battlefield combat, and your combat power had become much stronger, but your cultivation still had not made any progress.]

[Now, you could be called the veritable number one person on the planet.]

["What's wrong, kid? You look unhappy." Marshal Ye shook the wine bottle in his hand and walked to your side. "Will you have a drink with this old man?"]

["It's nothing." You took the wine Marshal Ye handed you and took a big gulp.]

["Doesn't your kid have a daughter? How is she lately?" Marshal Ye clinked his glass with yours and started chatting about domestic matters.]

[Thinking of Lin Xier, you gave a wry smile: "The little girl has grown up now. Recently, I bought her a new dress, and she told me she doesn't like pink anymore. I don't know what's so good about wearing all black!"]

[Marshal Ye looked at you and smiled: "Come on!" Saying that, he clinked glasses with you again.]

[In 2052 of the Dragon Kingdom, you were forty-four years old, and you informed Marshal Ye that you were leaving the Sacred Realm.]

[Actually, in the south of the Sacred Realm, the Extra-territorial Heavenly Demon had begun to stir, but seeing the resolute look in your eyes as you insisted on leaving, Marshal Ye didn't say anything.]

[There were many affairs in the Sacred Realm, especially with your rising status, there were more and more things to deal with, and sometimes you could only spare one day every year or two.]

[You would mostly spend this day entirely with Liu Ziyi and Lin Xier.]

[However, this time you didn't return to Fei City; you went to Jiangbei.]

"Jiangbei?" Lin Heng only realized Prisoner 5's goal this time when he saw this place name.

In Lin Si's simulation, a young Grandmaster had appeared in Jiangbei.

Jiangbei, Chu Nanxuan!
