With the help of a unique electric current to alleviate the aggravated pain caused by his excessive use of soul power to enhance his physical agility, he now has no idea exactly how terrifyingly fast he can increase his speed.
So he took advantage of the time while crossing the road to try it out. He forcibly increased his limb sensitivity to ten times the normal level in one go. He vaguely felt that his body was about to lose control, so he didn't dare to continue to increase his sensitivity. Under this state, coupled with the characteristics of the additional electric current speed-up, Zhou Ziwei actually ran a result that could make the world's sprint champions blush with shame - 100 meters per two seconds!
Moreover, this was only a rough estimate by Zhou Ziwei. If a precise stopwatch were used to time it, Zhou Ziwei believed that his century-long record would definitely be less than two seconds.
At such an abnormal speed, running at breakneck speed in the night, to others, it would basically only appear as a blurry figure passing by. No one would believe that what they saw was real... The more rational ones would probably think they were seeing things, while the more sensitive ones would likely become paranoid. It is said that later, someone from the Ministry of Transport saw the footage of Zhou Ziwei running at his limit in the surveillance video. After processing and restoring it, they finally saw Zhou Ziwei's blurry figure clearly. They were shocked and sent the footage to their superiors, and even marked the specific value of Zhou Ziwei's running speed.
As a result, the poor guy was suspended by his boss a few days later... who told him to produce such blurry images that they looked fake no matter how you looked at them.
Volume 1, Rebirth of a Prodigy, Chapter 235: The Female Thief
After Zhou Ziwei transformed himself back into his old, ugly, and sleazy self, he quickly returned to Su Yan's house. He found that Su Yan, her brother, and Da Niu had already returned from the concert a while ago, and the three of them were now sitting in the living room excitedly discussing the events of the evening... Even Su Miao, thanks to Zhou Ziwei's soul power, was in great spirits and refused to go back to her room to rest.
Su Yan's father, however, was exhausted from working at the stall all day and had already gone to bed.
Upon seeing Zhou Ziwei return, Da Niu, who had been loudly commenting on Andy Lau, suddenly seemed to have been choked, swallowing all his words. He mumbled a greeting to Zhou Ziwei and then fled to his own home.
Upon seeing Zhou Ziwei, Su Yan and her brother both showed expressions of excitement and gratitude. However, after seeing her sister's slightly flushed cheeks, Su Miao smiled and shook her head, then said she was tired and asked Su Yan to push her back to her room. Unexpectedly, Zhou Ziwei smiled and stopped her. Without allowing Su Miao to object, he immediately went over and channeled a wisp of soul power infused with electricity into her body...
As Zhou Ziwei had predicted, the soul power enhanced by the electric current was significantly more effective in stimulating the nerves and nourishing the body.
Zhou Ziwei originally estimated that it would take at least three years to fully cure Su Miao's illness, but now it seems that it should only take about a year.
Seeing that his younger brother had become noticeably more energetic after just a few minutes of "massage" from Zhou Ziwei, and that he was even speaking more fluently, Su Yan was overjoyed. He was a million times more excited than when he had seen Xiao Yushen and Chen Linlin at the concert.
When Su Yan happily escorted Su Miao back to her room and then came out, he found that Zhou Ziwei had already taken a shower and gone back to his small cubicle to sleep.
Su Yan's heart immediately began to struggle violently...
After a long while, Su Yan finally made up his mind. He then went into the bathroom and thoroughly washed himself until he was spotless before coming out wearing only a bathrobe.
"Mr. Zhao... I... may I come in?" Su Yan walked to the small cubicle and stood silently for a while before finally mustering up the courage to gently knock on the door and ask softly.
After asking and waiting for a long time without any response, she knocked a few more times and asked again, but still received no reply. Finally, Su Yan became a little impatient, gritted her teeth, and yanked open the sliding door...
"I've finished my business in Tonghai and need to leave for a while. I'll be back in no more than a month, or I'll tell you where to find me... Don't worry! Since I promised Su Miao, I'll definitely take responsibility for curing him. We'll see each other again soon. Take care... You're a good older sister, but don't be so eager to offer yourself next time. Otherwise, what if you run into a conman who gives your brother some stimulants to make him look more energetic? Then he can easily trick you into having his way with his body, right? Silly girl... You're still young, you should think more about yourself and not bring strangers to your house to stay overnight anymore. The world is dangerous, and pure young men like Brother Xiang are almost extinct these days."
Su Yan gently picked up the note that was placed on the neatly made bed and read each word carefully over and over again. As he read, he found himself in tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
Warm tears fell gently onto the ordinary letter paper, wetting the crooked handwriting. Su Yan was slightly startled, hurriedly wiping the tears from the paper with his sleeve. Then, he carefully folded the paper into a small square, placed it in his palm, and murmured to himself, "This fairy brother is shameless... He's clearly an uncle already, yet he dares to call himself a pure young man... Hehe..."
Then, a radiant smile finally bloomed on that pretty face, which was streaked with tears…
Zhou Ziwei carried his backpack in one hand and a bag of miscellaneous food he had just bought at the entrance in the other. He yawned and walked quietly into the bustling waiting room, frowning helplessly at the various suffocating smells that filled the room.
Tonghai Station is one of the busiest train transfer stations in China, with a daily passenger flow of countless people. The waiting room has been renovated several times, but no matter how much it is expanded, it still cannot accommodate the swarms of people that come in like ants.
With so many people, all sorts of parasites easily breed, such as thieves, fraudsters, hooligans, beggars... all kinds of people will do anything to make a living and steal money from the pockets of passing travelers.
Zhou Ziwei watched helplessly as a stylish and sexy woman appeared one after another, attracting their attention with her half-exposed breasts, easily snatching their wallets, and then handing them over to her accomplices. She, completely unconcerned, continued to appear next to one victim after another, looking for her next target.
When Zhou Ziwei first saw it, he frowned slightly, hesitating whether he should meddle in such a trivial matter. But when he saw it a third and fourth time, he gradually became numb.
The world is vast, and there are many bad people in it. Wherever there are people, there is crime. Zhou Ziwei is not a savior; he doesn't have the ability to be in two places at once, nor does he have the desire to save all of humanity. Normally, he wouldn't mind intervening when he sees evil happening before his eyes, but... when he sees those victims staring lustfully at the female thief's snow-white breasts, or even pretending to rub their thighs lightly against her shapely buttocks, Zhou Ziwei completely loses any desire to help them... Sigh, being a thief isn't easy these days. That female thief must be groped by countless hands every day; earning money isn't easy either...
"Handsome guy...can you do me a favor?"
To everyone's surprise, Zhou Ziwei, who had no intention of seeking revenge against the female thief, was targeted by her. Just as Zhou Ziwei closed his eyes in annoyance, intending to take a short nap, a sweet, cloying voice rang in his ear. Then, he saw a face that, while not conventionally beautiful, was young and sexy. Facing Zhou Ziwei's gaze, the female thief even seductively stuck out her bright red tongue and lightly licked her lips before saying in a coquettish voice, "Handsome, can you help me?"
"Handsome" Zhou Ziwei touched his crooked nose with a mix of amusement and exasperation, truly admiring the professionalism of this female thief.
The way he's dressed right now makes even himself feel like vomiting when he sees himself in the mirror. But this female thief can still call him "handsome" without batting an eye and even make provocative gestures... This is... too professional!
"Hmm... are you calling me? Um... what do you need me to do for you?" Zhou Ziwei saw that the other passengers were all casting envious glances at him, so he could only respond helplessly.
The female thief first winked at Zhou Ziwei, then turned slightly around, sticking out her plump and alluring buttocks, and pointed to a suspicious white mark on it, saying, "Look... someone just smeared a piece of cream on me here, it looks disgusting. I have some wet wipes here, handsome, could you help me wipe it off?"
"Uh... let me wipe your butt for you." Zhou Ziwei looked at the buttocks sticking up high in front of him and the wet wipe that the female thief handed him, and was speechless.
It seems this female thief didn't treat other men like this, so why am I getting special treatment from her? Could it be... that she likes me looking old, ugly, and sleazy...? Although most people wouldn't have such a peculiar taste, that possibility can't be ruled out, after all, everyone has their own preferences.
"Handsome guy...please help me..." Seeing Zhou Ziwei staring blankly at her buttocks without taking the wet wipe from her hand, the female thief immediately swayed her alluring hips coquettishly and continued to entice her in a sweet voice, "Look...it's disgusting to have this white stuff in here. If someone who doesn't know better sees it, they'll think it's a man's...thing...that's stained...then...where will I put my face...handsome guy, please help me..."
Seeing a plump, round, fragrant buttocks swaying gently in front of him, the stimulation was enough to make any man's blood boil... Zhou Ziwei could even clearly hear the men next to him swallow hard, and their envious gazes were piercing him to the core. Two young men who looked to be at least in their twenties couldn't resist coming over. It seemed that if Zhou Ziwei didn't agree, they would volunteer to help the female thief.
As for the older men sitting next to Zhou Ziwei, although they looked even more lecherous, they were more experienced and knew that unexpected good fortune usually didn't bring anything good, so they didn't make any rash moves. Their gazes towards Zhou Ziwei were filled with envy, but also a hint of schadenfreude.
"Alright! Alright!" Zhou Ziwei reluctantly took the wet wipe from the female thief's hand, shaking his head and saying, "Since you insist on my help, I'll reluctantly lend you a hand! But... everyone, please be my witnesses, this lady asked me to wipe her butt. If she starts yelling about being molested or something later, you all have to be my witnesses!"
Upon hearing this, the female thief immediately pouted and said reproachfully, "Look at what you're saying... So many people saw this, do you think I would try to extort you?"
Zhou Ziwei chuckled and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony..."
As Zhou Ziwei spoke, he immediately picked up the wet wipe and placed it next to the white stain on the female thief's pants, gently wiping it. Meanwhile, his other hand was placed directly on the female thief's other high and full buttocks, and he rubbed it vigorously with great enjoyment. He even bent a finger and gently hooked it a few times in the female thief's buttock cleft.
Countless eyes watched in disbelief as Zhou Ziwei openly and blatantly molested the buttocks of a young woman in the prime of her life. Everyone was utterly shocked. The surroundings seemed to freeze for a moment, with only the faint sounds of swallowing saliva and heavy breathing audible.
The female thief had no idea that Zhou Ziwei would be so bold. When Zhou Ziwei's hand rubbed her buttocks, her body immediately stiffened. She remained in that position, trembling slightly without moving, as if she was enjoying being touched by Zhou Ziwei.
After more than ten seconds, the female thief exclaimed in surprise, then suddenly sat up straight, but then seemed to lose her balance and plopped down into Zhou Ziwei's lap...
"Oh dear... I'm sorry..." The female thief feigned panic, frantically reaching out to steady Zhou Ziwei, but her legs seemed to be severely calcium deficient, collapsing again as soon as she stood up, falling into Zhou Ziwei's arms several times, only to frantically reach out to him again... This looked exactly like a couple deeply in love, affectionately cuddling and flirting, almost making the eyes of the men around them pop out!
Could this beautiful woman really be that thirsty? She couldn't resist being groped a few times by some lewd old man?
Seeing that the female thief had tirelessly searched all his pockets again and again, still stubbornly persisting, and even rubbing her plump buttocks hard against Zhou Ziwei's lower abdomen a few times to distract him, Zhou Ziwei's lust was rising rapidly. He guessed that if he didn't let the female thief find anything, she would probably keep touching him until she reached his underwear.
Left with no other choice, Zhou Ziwei had to slip a package into the hands of the female thief as she recklessly pulled open his backpack… He even helped her quickly hide the package under her clothes and inside her jeans before forcefully lifting her up by her buttocks, then grinning and saying, “Hey, miss… stand still… my old bones can’t take this much!”
As Zhou Ziwei spoke, he pinched those two buttocks hard a few more times without any restraint.
The female thief was completely speechless after being teased. She only gave Zhou Ziwei a subtle glare before blushing and shaking her head. Before leaving, she even managed to say "thank you" to Zhou Ziwei before hurrying away.
"What a polite child!" Zhou Ziwei couldn't help but sigh sincerely. Such a beautiful young lady, she took the initiative to come to his door and let this "old geezer" touch her all over. Before leaving, she even insisted on taking away a bag of trash for him. Sigh... what a kind person!
Meanwhile, in the women's restroom of the waiting room... the female thief, who had just been blushing from Zhou Ziwei's investigation, was washing her face with cold water while looking in the mirror and comforting herself... Although she had suffered quite a bit this time, the gains should have been quite worthwhile... So what if a pervert groped me a few times? It's not like he'll take a piece of my flesh, hmph... He'll really be heartbroken when that old ghost finds out he's lost something!
The female thief finally managed to calm herself down before reaching into her jeans to pull out a bag, only to be immediately dumbfounded...
How is this possible...? I just touched it and it felt like a thick stack of banknotes, how... how did it turn into a bag of peanut shells...?
The time for ticket inspection finally arrived. Zhou Ziwei picked up his backpack and lazily squeezed into the ticket gate with the surging crowd. During this time, he inevitably felt waves of resentful gazes coming from not far away. Zhou Ziwei turned his head and saw the female thief who had wasted her time on him glaring at him through gritted teeth. So he immediately smiled and threw a flirtatious wink at the female thief that was enough to make anyone cringe, and then threw a plastic bag in his hand into the air at her.
The poor female thief was slightly taken aback. She subconsciously reached out and took the plastic bag. After hesitating for a moment, she gently opened it and took a look. She was stunned again.
Inside was a pair of women's lace panties, and a pink pair at that. What was most alarming was that the style, size, and color of these panties looked incredibly familiar to the female thief. Suddenly, her face paled. She secretly slipped a hand into her pants and felt down, then screamed. When her gaze returned to the old, ugly, and lewd-looking man in the crowd, there was no longer any resentment, only boundless fear and awe…
Zhou Ziwei winked at the female thief behind him with a smile, then squeezed into the ticket gate without looking back. Just then... he suddenly saw four men escorting a pure-looking, dazed female student through the ticket gate for another train. One of the men even lewdly pinched the student's chest in public, while the student seemed completely oblivious, still looking blank and dazed...
Upon seeing that pure yet blank face, Zhou Ziwei trembled as if struck by lightning. His old, ugly face involuntarily contorted as he watched the girl gradually disappear into the passage…
It's her...
Volume 1, Rebirth of a Prodigy, Chapter 236: Kidnapping
Zhou Ziwei never imagined that the young assassin whose soul he had damaged with his soul power in front of the Workers' Stadium would appear here. And seeing the girl's expression at this moment, she had undoubtedly become a mentally impaired person.
The four men with the girl, Zhou Ziwei, didn't seem to be from the Night Elves at all. Moreover, even in public, the men didn't forget to shamelessly harass the girl, which showed that they were definitely not her family members and clearly had no good intentions towards her.
While Zhou Ziwei was slightly stunned, the four men had already escorted the young female assassin into the station entrance.
Zhou Ziwei glanced up at the train number displayed at the ticket gate, gave a soft snort, and then followed the crowd into the entrance...
There were too many people on the platform. Zhou Ziwei walked out of the entrance passage and stood on the overpass, looking around for a long time. He even sent out ladybugs and mosquitoes, but he still couldn't find the mentally challenged girl assassin in the vast sea of people.
Zhou Ziwei hesitated for a moment, but in the end he couldn't bring himself to completely ignore the teenage assassin. He sighed softly, tore the ticket in his hand to shreds, put one hand on the railing of the overpass, and leaped off the bridge at top speed.
Although the overpass was more than ten meters high, for Zhou Ziwei, whose physical strength and agility were now several times that of an average person, a height of more than ten meters was only about two meters for a normal person to jump from, and of course it posed no threat to him.
"Look...someone jumped down...ah...help!...someone's been killed!"
The middle-aged woman who had been following closely behind Zhou Ziwei noticed him when he tore up his train ticket, but only for a moment did she seem to see something fall off the overpass. Then she noticed that someone was missing in front of her and immediately screamed in alarm.
Upon hearing that someone had jumped off the bridge, the uninformed crowd became unusually excited, as if they had been injected with adrenaline. They even temporarily put aside their urgent matter of catching the train and began to peer around on the bridge in the direction the old woman was pointing.
"Where is it...where is it?"
"Damn, there's nobody here!"
"At your age, how come you've only learned to deceive people?"
"Why would I lie to you? It's true... someone really jumped!" The woman became agitated when she saw no one believed her. Pointing to the torn ticket fragments on the ground, she said, "Look... this is the ticket he just tore up. I was wondering what was wrong with him, why he would tear up his ticket, and then he just jumped..."
"Tch... I must say, you've made up a pretty smooth lie."
A young man pointed angrily at the area below the bridge and said, "If someone really jumped down, how come there isn't a single body down there? Even if that person was lucky enough not to die, there should at least be a pool of blood! But there's nothing under the bridge now. Could that person have ascended to heaven in broad daylight? Damn... I didn't expect you, an old lady, to like reading fantasy novels. Have you been reading too many novels and made your brain all muddled?"
The young man's antics made everyone burst into laughter, and no one paid any more attention to the older woman, hurrying off to catch their own trains...
After Zhou Ziwei jumped off the overpass, he immediately found the train corresponding to the ticket gate through which the four men and the female assassin had entered.
This bus didn't originate from Tonghai; it only stopped there for ten minutes. So, almost as soon as the bus stopped, all the passengers waiting on the platform rushed onto it. In the chaotic, crowded scene, it was really difficult to find anyone.
Zhou Ziwei hadn't expected to find the person on the platform anyway. The reason he rushed to catch the train overnight was because he had killed too many people in Tonghai that night. Although those people deserved to die, it was ultimately against the law. Although the police were investigating very strictly, they didn't have the ability to conduct a detailed investigation for the time being. Zhou Ziwei decided to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible, otherwise it would be very troublesome when the police started checking the outsiders door by door.
As of now, Zhou Ziwei's next destination has not been decided. He just bought a ticket at the train station, so it doesn't matter to him which train he takes or which train he takes.
Since the girl he had hurt to the point of being an idiot was in this car, Zhou Ziwei decided to just change cars.
However, he had only glanced at the ticket gate sign in the waiting room and remembered the train number. It wasn't until he saw the train now that Zhou Ziwei was suddenly surprised to find that it was actually an express train from Guangzhou to Zhongdu.
"I can get back to Zhongdu now by just getting on this train."
Zhou Ziwei stared blankly at the train number board, remaining silent for a long time, unable to describe the feeling in his heart.
It's been over three years, and I wonder how my parents and sister's family are doing now? The reason Zhou Ziwei didn't recant his testimony in court was, in fact, to protect his family from being affected. So... his family still holds an extremely important place in Zhou Ziwei's heart.
He had long wanted to go home to see... to see if his parents had more gray hairs at their temples, to see if his sister's bloodshot eyes had regained their sparkle, to see if his little nephew was wetting the bed again... and, how was Yu Xiaoru doing? Was she really still staying at home and hadn't found a boyfriend?
Zhou Ziwei really wanted to go home... He was doing quite well now. Although the Zhou Group had not yet emerged from its predicament and his position as chairman of the Zhou Group did not carry much weight, the sheer amount of jade raw materials he controlled was a windfall worth over a billion yuan. For him in his previous life, that was an astronomical figure that he would never have dared to dream of.
Now he's considered a small-time tycoon, but as the saying goes, "to return home in glory is like wearing fine clothes at night," which is a great pity for someone like him who has worked his way up from nothing to where he is now.
The problem is... he's Zhou Ziwei now, not Yang Hongtao. To his parents, sister, and other relatives, he's been dead for three years. So he's never known what identity he should have when he goes home to face his family. And because he's not yet confident he can completely defeat Huang Lianshu financially, plus all the things happening around him, Zhou Ziwei hasn't considered returning to Zhongdu. But now... it seems he doesn't need to think about it anymore. As long as he steps onto this train, he'll soon be taken to Zhongdu... to the city where he's lived for over twenty years.
Does he need to deliberately avoid it again?
Zhou Ziwei smiled and shook his head. Since fate was taking him home, then... he might as well go along with it this once and take advantage of these few days of free time to go home and visit...
Zhou Ziwei took a deep breath after thinking about this, and without hesitation, stepped onto the train with the crowd.
