Mr. Li was in a private conversation with Xiao Qiang, discussing the strange occurrences he had noticed recently. He felt lost, unable to find his way out, and unable to see the beautiful view of Victoria Harbour.
Hong Kong Island was surrounded by the sea on all sides; how could there be no way out? Mr. Li mentioned that he and a few friends had driven out specifically to search for the ocean. It felt as if the distance between the shore and the sea had become an endless road, one that seemed to have no end.
There was also something very peculiar happening around him. The former Filipino landlord had transformed into a Filipina maid in his home, while a thief had turned into a security guard at his bar.
The Road Administration Security team accompanied him, acting as his bodyguards. Given all this, he felt extremely frustrated yet helpless. He knew the truth but had no one to confide in, leaving him troubled and confused. The patterns of life stored in his memory seemed to be changing without his awareness.
Eventually, Mr. Li even began to doubt his own vast fortune, feeling that everything was out of place. It seemed disconnected from him and his wife, and those special friends were both unfamiliar and familiar at the same time. He could sense something was wrong among them but couldn't pinpoint the source.
Xiao Qiang followed Mr. Li's line of questioning and asked about the timing and location of these changes.
Mr. Li replied that it happened at midnight. The locations were chaotic; sometimes it occurred in the car, other times in his dreams. Strangely, apart from him, everyone else seemed unable to remember past events. The vague memories plunged people into inexplicable panic and fear.
Mr. Li mentioned that someone who claimed to be his friend had foretold that on a certain day, three boys from the future would appear. These three boys would save them...
Xiao Qiang's thoughts were interrupted by Lin Yu's question. He instinctively stepped down the stairs and pretended nothing was wrong, saying, "It's nothing; I was just thinking about what Matt said—that we would lose our abilities in another era—but why do I still have my abilities at the bar?"
"Don't you think it's boring to dwell on this issue? Once this is over, we can just ask Matt," Lin Yu replied softly, her lips barely moving as she spoke almost inaudibly. If one wasn't paying attention, they wouldn't even realize she was talking to Xiao Qiang. However, Wu Yi thought differently.
"You guys are so idle; with so much delicious food around, why not focus on filling your stomachs? When your body has enough energy, you can do whatever you want." He still felt regretful about not succeeding in his previous endeavor!
"The legendary Zhu Bajie is known for being gluttonous and lecherous," Lin Yu said with a mischievous smile. She nudged Xiao Qiang with her elbow and suggested, "How about we rename Wu Yi to Bajie Wu?"
Seeing that Mr. Li's special friends had already arrived, Xiao Qiang put on a serious face and warned Lin Yu, "Stop joking around; we need to get down to business." He intended to go straight to the point this time and directly prevent them from signing the financing proposal. If that happened, the DBL6 experimental base would avoid a disaster—at most it would just be a historical site left behind by a nuclear war.
Lin Yu and Wu Yi were puzzled about what Xiao Qiang was up to. He boldly walked straight towards a group of adults who were chatting amicably, including Mr. Li.
"Hello..."
Mr. Li played the mediator, "Oh, by the way, I haven't had the chance to introduce these children to you yet."
Xiao Qiang's expression turned cold as he spoke each word deliberately, "No need, I know who they are."
The other adults looked just as astonished as Mr. Li.
"You, Xiao Chongjun, my future father. You, Wen Zhaoqi, Wen Kai's future father. And you, unknown aunt, must be closely related to Lin Yu." Finally, he pointed at Professor R, hesitating slightly...
Seeing a tiny child pointing fingers at him, Professor R (the family doctor) could no longer contain himself. He let out a cold laugh, suddenly stood up, slammed his hand on the table, and shouted, "Where did this wild child come from? How dare you act so recklessly in the Li Family residence?"
Xiao Qiang refused to back down. His sharp eyes gleamed with hidden brilliance as he defiantly stared at this so-called family doctor of the present era, who would become an accomplice of an unrepentant schemer in the future world—Puppet.
"And you, the renowned Big Shot in the future world, Professor R —the backbone of biochemical research and a private enterprise scientist who has left national institutions." Mr. Li wanted to intervene and stop Xiao Qiang but took a step back and slowly sat down on the sofa when he sensed the certainty and confidence in Xiao Qiang's tone.
"Hmph! You little brat, I didn't expect you to be quite the storyteller at such a young age. Keep it up..." The family doctor sat down slowly under Mr. Li's subtle hint, struggling to suppress his anger.
Lin Yu and Wu Yi dared not speak and followed closely behind Xiao Qiang. The former secretly admired him with a thumbs-up while the latter's gaze remained fixed on the delicious food laid out before them.
Xiao Qiang swept his gaze around and cut to the chase: "Are you preparing to sign a financing agreement regarding the reactivation plan for the DBL6 experimental base?"
The adults were taken aback, especially Mr. Li, who could no longer maintain his composure. He scolded angrily, "Xiao Qiang, don't go too far! I invited you here to help us out of trouble, not to cause chaos."
“Uncle Li, the troubles caused by the internet, I naturally have a way to resolve them. But while I’m helping you, you are creating another disaster that is about to happen. As long as you remain stubborn and sign the financing plan to successfully restart the DBL6 experimental base, you… will all die!”
“What is this about? Old Li, are you sincerely trying to stir up trouble?” Mr. Wen Zhaoqi was the first to explode in anger.
Xiao Chongjun cleared his throat and waved his hand to stop Wen Zhaoqi, then turned to Xiao Qiang and said, “What qualifications do you have to point fingers here? What basis do you have to say that this project will lead to deaths? How much do you know about Nuclear War? Shouldn’t we, the rulers of this planet, accept unknown foreign invasions and harm unconditionally?”
“But… before you even achieve any results in your research, you… you will all die! What Xiao Qiang said is true,” Lin Yu hurriedly added.
“Old Li, it’s up to you! Either we leave, or they get out of here.” The family doctor, who seemed to be part of their financing development team, finally couldn’t hold back any longer. She shed her pretentious gentlemanly demeanor and roared at Mr. Li with a fierce expression.
Mr. Li lowered his head and pondered for a moment before decisively issuing an eviction order: “Alright, you can leave. Our matters are none of your business.”
“You will regret this; your son will become a War Orphan.”
“Are you cursing me?” Mr. Li was furious, stepping forward and grabbing Xiao Qiang by the collar. His eyes bulged as he sternly said, “Aren’t you quite something? We don’t need you here; get lost!”
Xiao Qiang raised his arm and shouted, trying to assert himself against the other party… but an inexplicable force suddenly pulled him away from his spot once again…
