Fu Xian shook his head with a wry smile. In fact, on the night SWC announced the news, he had checked all the information about Jianghu Company and the new version of the game overnight and made this decision immediately. However, the people in the company always felt that it was too hasty, so it was delayed until now. He didn't know whether Jiang Shuiyun's words were praise or sarcasm.
“It’s alright, I’ll consider it. I believe Jianghe Group is also a perfect partner.”
Jiang Shuiyun doesn't currently plan to make such rapid progress, but she can go back and discuss it with Shen Yunyi.
“Thank you, Miss. By the way, there’s something I still need to remind you of,” Fu Xian glanced at the direction of the gate, “You must be careful in the future. Jianghe Group can see this, and everyone can see it too. There will inevitably be some people with bad intentions. It’s easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. If you are at ease, I will arrange all the security measures.”
Jiang Shuiyun wasn't afraid of any danger, but avoiding it would be best. "Thank you, I will be careful."
"Furthermore," Fu Xian continued, "people from above have already spoken with the chairman and his wife. They attach great importance to this area, especially your certificate, Miss. In the next few days, we may have distinguished guests visiting. Miss, you should be prepared."
Fu Xian spoke cryptically, but Jiang Shuiyun understood after a moment's thought; the impact was indeed beyond her expectations. "President Fu, do you know what the chairman and his wife said to the higher-ups?"
Fu Xian shook his head. "Miss, you should ask this question yourself. It's not something I can answer."
Jiang Shuiyun was already quite satisfied with what Fu Xianneng had told her, and nodded, "I understand, thank you, President Fu."
"You're too kind, Miss."
After Fu Xian finished speaking, he saw Jiang Shuiyun off, saying, "Miss, you must keep your safety in mind."
Jiang Shuiyun agreed again, and Fu Xian arranged for someone to take her back. On the way back, she sent a message to Shen Yunyi, asking where he was, as she needed to bring forward the house-hunting arrangements.
Shen Yunyi was still at Jianghu Company, so Jiang Shuiyun had the driver take her there. When she arrived, Shen Yunyi was already waiting downstairs.
After loading Jiang Shuiyun's suitcase into the trunk of his car, Shen Yunyi clapped his hands and asked, "Which outfit do you like? Shall we go take a look?"
"There's no need to pick too many options, just choose the safest one."
Jiang Shuiyun originally wanted to discuss it with Yi Jinbai, but at this time, Yi Jinbai hadn't even gotten off the plane yet, and there really wasn't enough time. She could only choose a place to stay first and let Yi Jinbai choose another one later.
Upon hearing Jiang Shuiyun's words, Shen Yunyi understood. "Has something happened?"
"holographic."
When Jiang Shuiyun said those two words, Shen Yunyi understood. He didn't expect that this matter, which Jiang Shuiyun had only mentioned to him a few times, had already been targeted by others. "Then none of this is suitable. Here's what we'll do: you go stay at my house for now, and I'll arrange some manpower and modify the equipment in the house. Leave these to me, and we'll talk about it when I find a safer place."
The houses that Shen Yunyi had previously found for him were actually quite good, with excellent privacy and security. Some of them were in celebrity neighborhoods with very strict security. But now that he said that, they suddenly felt unsafe. Only his own villa was relatively reliable. It was in a well-known wealthy area with very good security.
"There's really no need to be so nervous."
Jiang Shuiyun felt a little embarrassed when she saw Shen Yunyi looking like he was facing a formidable enemy, because she actually had the ability to protect herself in this world, and she was making others worry so much.
“That definitely won’t do. We have to be extra careful about this. Your parents reminded you of this, right?” Shen Yunyi knew that Jiang Shuiyun had gone back to the old house, so he could guess who told her. “Actually, the security at your old house is pretty good. But if you don’t want to go home, then stay at my house. Don’t go out easily. Leave everything to me.”
It was rare for Shen Yunyi to be so unyielding in front of Jiang Shuiyun. He pulled Jiang Shuiyun into the car and drove her directly to the residential area as if she were a national treasure.
Shen Yunyi led Jiang Shuiyun to complete the registration at the entrance of the community. The reason why the security here is so good is that everyone in the community must have an identity verification. Once a stranger is discovered, an investigation and control will be carried out immediately.
After ensuring that Jiang Shuiyun could move freely within the community, Shen Yunyi drove to a villa. The environment here was quite nice, with little chance for residents to meet each other. The houses and yards were large, and various artificial landscapes separated the area, creating a sense of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle, a secluded place. It was definitely not a place that money could buy.
Pulling Jiang Shuiyun's suitcase, Shen Yunyi introduced her to the housekeepers and servants here. This place was given to him by his father, but he rarely came to stay here. Now it came in handy.
“I’ll be living here from now on, so we can look after each other.”
Shen Yunyi finally told Jiang Shuiyun that since Jiang Shuiyun trusted him, it was enough to leave everything to him.
Jiang Shuiyun could only nod in agreement, thinking that Shen Yunyi was probably just being a little impulsive and would calm down once he calmed down.
And so, Jiang Shuiyun settled into the house. Shen Yunyi helped her move all her belongings from the Miracle Team, including the computer that Jiang Shuiyun had specifically requested.
Everything had arrived, and she wasn't feeling out of place at all. The only thing that surprised Jiang Shuiyun was that she thought she would be incredibly busy since she came back, but in reality, it was no different from when she was on vacation. Even if she had a little work to do, she only needed to operate the computer and didn't even have to leave the house.
Regarding the cooperation with Jianghe Group, Jiang Shuiyun also discussed it with Shen Yunyi after he finished taking care of everything.
"Jianghe Group is undoubtedly the leading enterprise in this field. Our Jianghu Company is just starting out. It is unrealistic for us to rely on ourselves alone. So it is good to have a big tree to lean on, especially since they are your parents. This kind of cooperation is indeed the best choice."
Shen Yunyi analyzed the situation objectively. Although Jianghu Company was growing rapidly, its strength was still incomparable to that of Jianghe Group. Moreover, the field of holography was not one that could be easily provoked. It was undoubtedly a good thing to align with Jianghe Group now.
Jiang Shuiyun nodded, "Then let's cooperate. But don't worry, Yunyi, our cooperation will not change. I keep my word."
Jiang Shuiyun knew that if she cooperated with Jianghe Group, Shen Yunyi's interests would be most likely to be harmed, because it was impossible for the two of them to share the profits fairly as they had initially agreed. However, as long as Jiang Shuiyun had something, Shen Yunyi would not be left out.
There was really no need to say anything. Shen Yunyi was somewhat moved and looked at Jiang Shuiyun with a smile, "Knowing you, I must have done countless good deeds in my past life."
"Then keep doing good deeds in this life, and maybe you'll meet me again in the next life."
Jiang Shuiyun smiled and patted Shen Yunyi on the shoulder, accepting the offer without any modesty.
And so, Jiang Shuiyun settled down here. When she chatted with Yi Jinbai about moving, she mentioned it. However, to prevent Yi Jinbai from having the same extreme emotions as Shen Yunyi, she only said that she hadn't found a suitable house yet and would have to wait for Yi Jinbai to choose one together. She didn't mention any dangers, otherwise Yi Jinbai might have flown back from City B overnight.
The quiet and leisurely days didn't last long before Jiang Shuiyun received another call from Fu Xian.
Jiang Shuiyun never expected that her mother would be persuaded by her father to have the three of them undergo a paternity test.
The day finally came. Jiang Shuiyun was calmer than she had imagined, but she was a little worried that when the test results came out and her parents severed ties with her, it might affect future cooperation.
The two parties met at the Jiang family's hospital. Without exchanging any pleasantries, they immediately began the paternity test process. Fu Xian, who was acting as the liaison but knew nothing about the whole affair, was still completely bewildered and incredulous. The other three parties involved remained calm.
"The results will be out soon."
Jiang's mother lingered on Jiang Shuiyun for a while, lost in thought.
"Actually, I don't even need to see the result to know that I am not your child."
Jiang Shuiyun lowered her eyes. She said this result first to give her parents a heads-up. Didn't she already know in her heart whether he was her biological son or not? The three of them were not even from the same time and space, so how could they be related by blood?
"If that's the case, I'll be very disappointed."
Jiang Shuiyun thought that her mother was just being polite, so she returned a polite smile and didn't say anything more.
Time passed slowly, and everyone waited quietly. Fortunately, the result didn't take long and came out quickly.
When the doctor came out with the results, the group stood up at the same time. Although they had all appeared calm and indifferent just now, they were not quite able to keep up their act at this moment.
"After testing, there is a 99.99% probability that you are related by blood."
As the doctor finished speaking, Jiang Shuiyun was incredulous. She hurriedly opened the document handed to her, and the words on it proved that the doctor was right.
This is utterly absurd. Jiang Shuiyun frowned, repeatedly looking at the document in her hand. How could people from two different time periods be related by blood? How could they possibly be her biological parents?
This time, Jiang's father and mother exchanged a glance and a rare smile appeared on their faces. "He is our biological child."
Jiang Shuiyun: ...
Still finding it hard to accept, Jiang Shuiyun sat in a chair, needing to calm down.
"Perhaps... something went wrong." Jiang Shuiyun tried to find an excuse.
“We can do another test.”
Jiang's mother was very easy to talk to and immediately said so.
Looking up at her parents standing in front of her, Jiang Shuiyun felt that perhaps there was no need to take another test, because the result would probably be the same, since the similarity between herself and the original owner was indeed somewhat bizarre.
Without wasting time testing again, Jiang's parents suggested going home first, saying they would discuss things there.
Jiang Shuiyun thought it was acceptable and did not refuse. The matter had once again exceeded her expectations, but it still had to be resolved.
On the way back, Jiang Shuiyun sat in the back corner of the car with her parents. She looked at the two people in front of her. She had thought about countless possible results of the paternity test in the past few days, but she had never thought of this one. How could this be?
Jiang Shuiyun missed her teacher a little. If her teacher were here, she could ask her about her.
Jiang Shuiyun closed her eyes, rubbed her temples, and drifted off into a daze, lost in thought.
This really caught her off guard. Jiang Shuiyun's mind was in a mess, and she was distracted. She didn't pay attention to the situation around the car. When her body's alertness instantly pulled her back from her daze, she saw a pickup truck speeding towards her.
Actions moved faster than thought; Jiang Shuiyun turned her wrist, and the transparent mecha formed a protective shield inside the vehicle.
The moment the protective shield formed, Jiang Shuiyun felt a tremendous impact, and then the entire car flipped over, causing the world to spin around in an instant.
Outside, there was a lot of noise. After a brief moment of unconsciousness, Jiang Shuiyun immediately unbuckled her seatbelt. Her parents in the front row had already fallen into a coma. Although there was a protective shield, the impact and rapid roll still caused them to faint.
The bodyguards in the front and rear cars reacted quickly and surrounded the car, trying to open the deformed doors. The driver in the front car had already been rescued, but the rear door was severely damaged. Jiang Shuiyun looked around, kicked the front driver's seat, unbuckled her mother's seatbelt, and carried the unconscious mother out of the front driver's seat.
There were people waiting outside. Jiang's mother was slender and was easily sent out. Jiang Shuiyun went back to unbuckle Jiang's father's seatbelt. The gap was not large, so it was a bit difficult. Fortunately, after a lot of effort, she managed to send him out safely.
Crouching low, Jiang Shuiyun followed suit and crawled out. Her head was still spinning when she landed, and she almost lost her balance. Fu Xian reached out to support her, asking, "Miss, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I'm going back to the hospital right away, my parents are more important."
Holding her forehead, Jiang Shuiyun directed the people around her to act quickly, leaving Fu Xian to handle the situation while the others escorted Jiang's parents back to the hospital.
Jiang's parents are not in serious condition. They were wearing seat belts and had protective shields. They are only temporarily unconscious and will wake up soon.
Jiang Shuiyun sat between the two hospital beds. It was absolutely impossible for today's events to be an accident; someone must have panicked.
In today's society governed by the rule of law, how could anyone be so audacious? Jiang Shuiyun gritted her teeth slowly. It seemed this matter had to be thoroughly investigated.
Just then, Jiang Shuiyun noticed her mother's slightly furrowed brows, stood up, and poured herself a glass of water. "You're awake?"
"Has something happened?"
Jiang's mother opened her eyes. She remembered what had happened before. Looking around at her surroundings, she focused her gaze on Jiang Shuiyun. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Jiang Shuiyun put the water aside. "Fu Xian has been sent to handle the situation. We haven't received any further updates yet. You and the chairman are both fine; you just need to rest for a while."
Jiang's mother glanced at the hospital bed beside her and gave a soft "hmm," "Fu Xian has already told you about what's going on above, right? Now it seems some people are getting impatient because they see we're about to reach an agreement with the higher-ups."
Jiang Shuiyun lowered her head. "In that case, is it possible to find out who it is?"
“Of course,” Jiang’s mother grasped Jiang Shuiyun’s hand, “help me up.”
Jiang Shuiyun helped her mother sit up and handed her the glass of water. Then she heard a noise behind her; her father had also woken up.
"lady?"
"Alive."
Jiang's mother responded.
Relieved, Jiang's father helped himself to sit up and glanced at Jiang Shuiyun in the middle, asking, "Is everyone alright?"
"Everything is fine. The driver has already checked and left. No one was injured."
After replying to her father, Jiang Shuiyun looked at her mother, waiting for her to finish speaking.
