Lou Fenbing is already waiting for Hong Cha outside the hospital. A car stopped in front of him and a man of his age came out. He have a pair of unusual ash grey eyes and his long hair tied to a messy bun. The man looked like a carefree professor or a president of a certain empire. Lou Fenbing had never seen him before. Gu Jiaoyue glanced at him and walked towards Lou Fenbing.

"Are you Lou Fencha's brother?" Gu Jiaoyue immediately asked. Lou Fenbing's eyes darkened. Only underworld figures knew about his sister and few people with high authority in public knows about her existence. "Im Gu Zixing, your sister's acquaintance. I came here to hand her this chip. Unfortunately, I cant stay here for long. Please hand it to her."

"Gu Zixing?" Lou Fenbing thought as he accepted the black rectangular chip from Gu Jiaoyue. He had heard the name Gu Zixing in abroad a long time ago but cant tell who he was.

"Is that Chairman Lou Fenbing?" Xu Qin Bing asked once Gu Jiaoyue returned to the backseat and sat next to her. She received a smile from Gu Jiaoyue but he didn't bother to explain. Gu Jiaoyue is often like this. He doesn't explain anything if it was personal. Xu Qin Bing respects his privacy so she never tried to inquire for it. She got used to his personality after marrying him four years ago.

[Host, aren't you worried Xu Qin Bing will be suspicious of your sincerity?]

"No." Gu Jiaoyue answered his system. He glanced outside the window to see Hong Cha walking towards Lou Fenbing. "Xu Qin Bing is afraid of losing someone important to her. She will not do anything against my will if that is equal to me, abandoning her. I wouldn't have married her if you didn't detect she is related to Hong Cha."

[... Host, you are as frightening as Master Zixing, ah.]

Gu Jiaoyue smiled faintly as he leaned on the seat. "Wrong. Zixing is more frightening than me. If he was your host, he could have reprogrammed you in a second." he replied back. However, sometimes he wonders, why would someone like his brother choose to stay connected with Hong Cha? Gu Zixing already have an excellent life but he ruined it just for her. This made Gu Jiaoyue infuriated to his brother but mostly to Hong Cha. If Hong hadn't met Gu Zixing, things will be different in Earth 1.

"Gu Zixing?" Hong Cha was confused. She took the chip from Lou Fenbing. System Wu beeped and images flashed in her head.

"This boy is a monster!"

"Who would accept a demon like him?"

"Jiaoyue, don't be like him, en?"

"Brother, I am not good enough to replace you. Don't leave."

She was frozen in place to see countless memories of Gu Zixing. He was a boy that was feared by a lot of people and kin. Gu Zixing was casted away by his own kind because of his abilities. To create and destroy. At a young age, he created many innovation for the advancement of humankind. However, some people took advantage of him and manipulated Gu Zixing to create more than that, to forge a deadly weapon. In the end, he caused the destruction of countless biosphere. His parents were disappointed, his existence was seen as a menace, his own kind forsook him.

Only Gu Jiaoyue stayed. Unfortunately, he killed too many lives from a different race. Thus, he have to leave. The last picture Hong Cha saw was the young Gu Zixing creating an advanced AI. The AI was so useful that it changed his life. He was no longer the destructive demon but a special prodigy who surpassed any race within the galaxy. Hong Cha was almost breathless but Lou Fenbing was able to catch her falling figure. She had seen enough but why did he meet her in the 21st century when he belongs to the 23rd century?

"Fenfen, are you alright?" Lou Fenbing worriedly asked. Hong Cha kept her face burrowed on his chest. She was confused and irritated. Why cant she remember him in the first place? Who is Gu Zixing for her? Who is she for him?

"Brother, Im fine." she breathed out and leaned off him. Hong Cha hid the chip in her pocket before looking up to Lou Fenbing. "Im sorry but I cant go back yet. Don't worry about me. As long as I stayed obedient, Xu Qin Rui won't do anything heinous. Take care."

"Fenfen, no." he gave her a complicated look. Lou Fenbing is unwilling to part. "Fenfen, you can escape now. Go with me abroad. Xu Qin Rui will not find you. Bai Zhang can erase our traces here."

"Even if we leave China, he can track us down. Xu Qin Rui owns an empire around the world. We cant escape him no matter where we go. I cant risk having you and Boss Bai dragged with me." Hong Cha smiled in assurance. She didn't expect Lou Fenbing will lean down and give her a kiss. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest. All of a sudden, she cant control her body anymore.

[Host, a brief error. Lou Fencha's consciousness awakened but System can fix it in few minutes. Don't worry.]

"Brother..." Lou Fencha quickly embraced him after sharing their feelings. She cried tearfully upon recalling how she died. In her past life, she was unable to do this with him because she thought he was really her brother. Thanks to Hong Cha, Xu Qin Rui exposed the truth to her. Lou Fencha is unwilling to let go now.

"Fenfen, don't go." Lou Fenbing hugged her back. However, a car suddenly rushed to them. He reacted quickly and brought Lou Fencha to the side. The car stopped when it missed them.

"Well, well. You two are having a good time." Xu Qin Rui went out of the car and closed the door with a thud. His eyes were darker than ever, extreme fury and deviousness was within his gaze.
