"Boss, boss?"
The faint calling seed to drift from the horizon, slowly seeping into Zhou Wang’s ears.
His consciousness felt heavy, as if he were a drowning man slowly struggling his way up from the depths. Zhou Wang had no idea how much effort it took before he finally saw the light above the surface of the water.
At last, with a gasp of breath he broke free, and the calling beca clear, with a slight warmth lingering near his ear.
Zhou Wang was tense at first, but as soon as he felt his body, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He raised his hand, pulled off the blindfold from his face, and turned to see Miao Ying squatting by the bedside, watching him with worry in her eyes.
For a mont, that face beca a blur, overlapping with the mory of a pretty face with blonde hair and blue eyes, but as Zhou Wang blinked, everything ca back into focus, revealing Miao Ying’s spirited, oval face so close.
Zhou Wang instinctively reached out his hand and wrapped it around her shoulder.
The tangible sensation of contact seed to anchor Zhou Wang, with sensation rapidly returning to his whole body.
Miao Ying might have sensed the oddity in Zhou Wang’s emotions, but she didn’t resist his actions. Instead, she leaned closer, making it easier for Zhou Wang to encircle her with his palm. She asked softly, "Boss, are you alright?"
"I’m fine..."
Feeling the firmness in his palm and confirming he was indeed back to reality, Zhou Wang finally felt at ease.
Just now, with the system’s prompt that the [Ti Gear] had stopped turning, Zhou Wang had several instances of feeling he might not make it back...
That subtle feeling brought about a delayed sense of fear for Zhou Wang, now realizing the potential "life danger" the system warned of. At the ti, it might not have seed too terrifying, like waking abruptly from a nightmare, but reflecting back a while later, it left him with a creeping sense of dread.
"How long did I sleep?"
Zhou Wang reached out his other hand to gently rub his temples and asked simultaneously.
"Over two hours. In another half hour, the plane will land. I’ve been calling you for a long ti, but you didn’t wake up..."
"Over two hours, huh?"
Zhou Wang pondered for a mont. When the [Ti Gear] loaded, Zhou Wang felt as if he had really experienced a lengthy passage of ti, yet in reality, only two hours had passed, which was rather fascinating.
It’s not just the ti that’s fascinating, but also how those mory Fragnts integrated into his mind.
In any case, upon waking now, Zhou Wang felt as if he had truly lived through those events, with mories about everyone being so vivid: the top-performing secretary from a prestigious family, the ticulous Chinese housekeeper, the highly-paid professional bodyguard...
If he rembered correctly, during the final attack incident, the bodyguard nad Cria seed to have perished.
Afterward, he supposedly agreed to the proposal of soone nad Wang Ruixi and began preparing to return to the country, while simultaneously erasing his presence at Cloud Trust.
Judging just from this [mory Fragnt], a lot still puzzled Zhou Wang.
But Zhou Wang now vaguely understood why [Kilan’s Ti Gear] had a number. This might imply there was more than one [Gear] storing "forgotten ti".
Besides the [Gear] numbered 006, there might be a 001, a 002... Perhaps only after turning all the [Gears] could everything be pieced together.
However, the [Ti Gear] numbered 006 had already provided Zhou Wang with a wealth of information.
Compared to the sudden influx of mories in his mind, there were so many things Zhou Wang wanted to verify, but considering he was on a plane, it wasn’t convenient. So, he had to suppress his inner restlessness.
While Zhou Wang stayed silent, Miao Ying dared not move. However, her cheeks quietly flushed because Zhou Wang’s hand, unbeknownst to him, had slid to her waist, making her a bit breathless.
Zhou Wang, returning to his senses, realized he might have been holding Miao Ying too tightly, quickly released her, and sat up.
"Let’s go, step outside."
Miao Ying intended to help Zhou Wang, but Zhou Wang stopped her, "I’m really fine."
When the two left the back cabin and returned to the passenger cabin, not only did Jiang Yisen and Cui Yeqing give them ambiguous looks, but Yun Lan also seed to have said sothing to Yun Rou, causing Yun Rou to glare at her but unable to suppress a smile as she lowered her head.
Zhou Wang roughly understood the source of their peculiar glances. After all, Miao Ying had been in the back cabin with him for quite a long ti, and now coming out with her head lowered and not daring to et anyone’s gaze, it was easy for people to misunderstand.
But obviously, Zhou Wang didn’t care about that. He just sat down on the sofa, poured himself a glass of champagne from the table, and took a sip. Just as he was about to reach for the cigarette on the table, Cui Yeqing had already approached, offering a cigarette to Zhou Wang and lighting it for him.
"I wonder what brings Mr. Zhou to Beidou. Is it convenient to share?"
"My girlfriend is studying there."
Zhou Wang knew Cui Yeqing was just looking for a topic, and he didn’t hide it, replying with a faint smile.
Cui Yeqing was montarily taken aback, mainly because at the mont Zhou Wang spoke, he suddenly noticed a subtle change in Zhou Wang’s deanor.
This feeling was hard to describe, but as soone naturally sensitive in such matters, Cui Yeqing still caught it. Despite only being gone for over two hours, Zhou Wang seed to have beco... more elusive.
