"Xia Lin, if you don't get up, you'll be late!"
"Okay, Mom. I'm brushing my teeth!"
Xia Lin opened the door and shouted back, then went back to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. Looking at the same facial features in the mirror as in the previous world and his original appearance, Xia Lin heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that even if he went to a new world in the future, his appearance wouldn't change!
This world was quite similar to Earth in background but also different, feeling like a parallel world.
He was now an ordinary freshman in college. Since the university was in the same city as his home, he could go back to reunite with his parents on weekends. However, the situation had changed recently. Just after he came to this world, his parents were going abroad, and this house would be left for him to live in alone. Xia Lin guessed that this change right after he arrived was probably related to the mission.
It had been a week since he came here, but he still hadn't met the villain boss. It was really strange.
After breakfast, Xia Lin slung his schoolbag over his shoulder and went out. Behind him came his mother's nagging voice, "Be careful when you go out. Watch out for the red lights!"
Xia Lin smiled. Although he knew these two people weren't his real parents, he was gradually regarding them as his own. Just let him be greedy. The feeling of family he experienced in this world was so warm.
"Hey, the mid - term exam results are out. Xia Lin, do you know how you did?"
A classmate greeted Xia Lin enthusiastically. Thanks to his high - level good looks, Xia Lin was quite famous in the whole grade and had a good popularity in the class.
"Ah, can we check them on the educational affairs system already? I'll check now."
After attending school for two or three days, Xia Lin had another holiday. He took a one - hour bus ride home and then had to walk for five or six minutes. When passing through a dark alley that was gloomy even during the day, Xia Lin suddenly felt a tingle on his scalp.
Sure enough, an arm reached out from the shadow and wrapped around Xia Lin's neck. Xia Lin felt himself bump into a man's chest.
"Don't struggle. Don't shout, or..."
"Boss, please spare my life. I definitely won't struggle. What do you want to do?"
Xia Lin immediately showed that he would cooperate with the man behind him. The man thought Xia Lin was just afraid of death. In fact, [Ding, the target character has appeared. Identity: A boss with great influence in both the underworld and the white - collar world, the president and the largest shareholder of Fengyu Group. Character's darkness index: 76]
Xia Lin's obedient and motionless appearance made the man loosen his grip on Xia Lin's neck a little. Xia Lin smelled the smell of blood.果然，this was the villain boss! His way of showing up was so out of the ordinary, just like in a movie!
"Ugh..." Probably because the wounds on his body were too painful, the man behind Xia Lin obviously couldn't hold on anymore. Soon Xia Lin didn't even need to struggle, and the villain boss fainted.
Xia Lin turned around. Since it was night, he turned on his phone and shone the weak light on the man. Sure enough, he was injured, seemingly from knife wounds.
Xia Lin didn't have time to appreciate the boss's extremely handsome face carefully. He struggled to carry the over - 1.8 - meter - tall boss on his back and walked towards his home.
He was glad it was night. Otherwise, if someone saw him carrying a blood - covered man, it would be a disaster. He was also glad that his parents had gone abroad the day before, so he could put this man on his parents' bed.
"Phew, he must weigh at least 140 or 150 pounds. He's so heavy!"
