Chapter 67: There Are Bad People Among the Masses

Wei Chuang was startled.

Immediately, a look of relief appeared on his face:

"You remembered?"

It seems it's true... Yu Dazhang looked at Wei Chuang with a blank expression.

He hadn't remembered; it was just that he was too familiar with the place called Little Phoenix Mountain.

In his past life, he had died on that very mountain.

To be precise, he had died inside the abandoned radar station on Little Phoenix Mountain.

That was the final stop of his past life; before dying, he had even been taught a lesson by someone.

Yu Dazhang forcibly suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, striving to calm himself down.

"Brother Chuang, please continue." His tone became calm and gentle again, and his volume dropped:

"I just remembered a little; please keep telling the story. Maybe after you finish, I'll remember everything."

Wei Chuang nodded; now he completely believed what Yu Dazhang had said.

If it were fake, how could he have known immediately upon hearing "Little Phoenix Mountain" that he had gone to the abandoned radar station on the mountain?

This proved that his memories were indeed recovering.

No longer doubting, his speech speed increased:

"After we arrived at the radar station, we first observed the perimeter for over half an hour, then you asked me to wait outside."

"Until that moment, I still hadn't fully believed what you said."

"I accompanied you just to dispel your unrealistic thoughts."

"Then you entered the interior of the radar station alone."

"About an hour passed, and you suddenly rushed out from inside."

"Seeing me, you threw a document bag in your hand toward me while shouting for me to leave quickly."

"I saw more than ten people in brown camouflage uniforms chasing after you."

"Each of them wore a camouflage face mask; in the Stunned effort of my momentary confusion, they had already tackled you to the ground."

"I had no time to think much then, so I grabbed the document bag you threw and ran toward the foot of the mountain."

"Because I was unfamiliar with the mountain path, I hadn't run far before being caught."

"Immediately after, something hit the back of my head, I instantly lost consciousness, and when I woke up again, I found myself dumped beside the mountain path."

Having said this, Wei Chuang stopped.

He was observing Yu Dazhang's reaction.

However, to Wei Chuang's disappointment, Yu Dazhang showed no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.

"Continue, what happened next?"

Yu Dazhang wore a smile, as if Wei Chuang were merely telling a story unrelated to him.

"Later, I immediately went down the mountain and reported the matter to the school leadership." Wei Chuang continued:

"At that time, even the General Bureau was alerted; they immediately organized police forces to go up the mountain and conduct a thorough search of that abandoned radar station."

"Unfortunately, we arrived too late; we didn't find a single person, nor even a single daily item."

"Those people cleaned up the entire radar station before fleeing, leaving no valuable clues behind."

"What happened afterward, you have seen."

"Because I took a trainee into danger without authorization, causing the trainee to go missing, not having my police uniform stripped is already a favor shown to me."

Having spoken to this point, Wei Chuang had clarified the general course of events.

No details were needed; Yu Dazhang only wanted to know the cause and effect of this matter.

"My parents don't know about this?" Yu Dazhang asked.

"They don't know." Wei Chuang replied:

"The school leadership, fearing damage to the school's reputation, strictly ordered those who knew not to leak the information; later, when your parents came to the school many times to ask, no one dared to tell them the truth."

The school is quite vicious... Yu Dazhang couldn't help but curse in his heart.

It's only because I returned; if I hadn't returned, this matter would have just ended like that.

Even my parents didn't know my whereabouts; one can imagine how strict the school's gag order was.

The rest is obvious without needing to think.

Upon learning the news of my return, the school immediately sent people to handle the aftermath of this matter.

While issuing the graduation certificate, they even arranged a job for me.

This was out of fear that I might recall things later and cause trouble for the school; by arranging a job, even if I did remember, I would have reservations.

What a brilliant strategy to strike at the heart!

There are bad people among the masses.

No wonder everyone says that leaders don't need deep professional knowledge; as long as they understand human nature, they can rise rapidly.

Impressive, truly impressive.

Even now that I know the truth, I can't summon the slightest desire to cause trouble for the school.

Mainly because they treated you well, arranging things quite properly; it's really hard to lose face and go to demand accountability.

Moreover, given my relationship with Wei Chuang, doing such a thing is impossible.

Come to think of it, this matter was actually caused by myself; the school side also has grievances they cannot express.

"Alright, Brother Chuang, it's getting late; I'll head back first."

Having learned everything he wanted to know, there was nothing more to say; Yu Dazhang wanted to go home.

Please... you... collect... 6... 9... Book... please...!

"Hold on a moment!" Wei Chuang saw him stand up and immediately grabbed his arm:

"You still haven't told me what you went through those nine-plus months."

If he didn't say it, Yu Dazhang would have completely forgotten about this matter.

People, try not to lie, because once a lie is spoken, it's very easy for yourself to forget it.

On the contrary, the benefit of telling the truth is that once it's said, there's no need to deliberately remember it.

Yu Dazhang's current situation was very awkward—the lie had been spoken, but it was hard to patch it back together.

"Um…" he said hesitantly:

"If I say I didn't remember anything, would you believe me?"

"I wouldn't." Wei Chuang shook his head, the hand gripping him tightening even more.

"Brother Chuang, I really didn't remember." Yu Dazhang laid his cards on the table and confessed directly:

"I was afraid you wouldn't tell me the truth, so I pretended to have recovered my memory to pump you for information."

"Then how did you know about the abandoned radar station?" Wei Chuang stared at him with a suspicious look.

Yu Dazhang had no choice but to keep deceiving him:

"That one I thought of on the spot, but I only remembered that little bit."

The two argued back and forth for quite a while before Wei Chuang finally let Yu Dazhang go.

Before leaving, Yu Dazhang also went to the bedroom door and greeted Wei Chuang's wife through the door.

No matter what, having eaten their food, the proper etiquette had to be done thoroughly.

On the way home, Yu Dazhang tried hard not to let himself think about that matter; at times like these it was best to let himself go blank first.

After getting home, he first took a shower, then chatted with his parents for a while, and only then returned to his own room.

At this moment his state was just right.

Lying on the bed, Yu Dazhang's brain spun rapidly, combing through everything Wei Chuang had said from beginning to end.

It was he who had dragged Wei Chuang to the Xiaofeng Mountain radar station.

The purpose of going there was definitely to investigate the serial disappearance case.

Then the question arose.

He had reincarnated into this year, so how did last year's self know about the serial disappearance case?

And even if he knew there was a problem with the Xiaofeng Mountain radar station, he still shouldn't have gone.

Did he forget how he died? Still going to his death—how stubborn would that be.

This life's self clearly knew that place was dangerous, which was why he chose to stake out at the entrance of the community where the first disappearance case occurred.

That's right!

I know where the problem lies… Yu Dazhang suddenly sat up from the bed, his face looking extremely ugly.

The self from the previous life would absolutely be capable of doing this!!

Reckless, stubborn, obstinate, even extreme—that was the self from the previous life.

Not going alone but dragging Wei Chuang along was already considered an improvement.

That's right, it was exactly like that.

Precisely because he knew there was danger, he didn't let Wei Chuang go in with him once they reached the radar station.

In other words, his true time of reincarnation…

Was 2013!
