Chapter 78 Old Stories of Uncle and Nephew

Jiang Yuzhou waited in the room for Jiang Muyu to come. As soon as the door opened, he saw the eyes under the rabbit mask.

The light in its pupils was brighter than I had ever seen before entering the game. Before, these eyes could see nothing except for faint light.

"Xiao Yu, it's good that your eyes are healed..."

Jiang Muyu covered the rabbit mask with one hand, stepped into the room, and closed the door behind him.

The rabbit mask disappeared, revealing a slightly childish face.

"Uncle, Xiaoyu misses you so much."

Jiang Yuzhou was being held around the waist by Jiang Muyu when she realized with a start that the little guy was already almost as tall as her. How many years had it been? Since she severed ties with that family, she hadn't seen Jiang Muyu either.

Jiang Yuzhou patted Jiang Muyu on the shoulder and said with great emotion, "You've grown up."

Jiang Muyu suddenly pressed down on Jiang Yuzhou's shoulder with all his might.

"Uncle, why didn't you say you missed me? I've been looking for you for years. Didn't you say you'd take me to many places once my eyesight improved? Why did you lie to me?"

"You left me without a word, leaving me alone in that desolate house, waiting bitterly for you to come back. Year after year, I was stupid, I always believed my uncle's words. Even after my sight restoration surgery, I was still hoping that my uncle would bring me flowers of what color."

“I can see this world clearly now, but I realize that nothing has happened. I’m the only fool who kept the promise. Everyone told me you were dead. How can I believe it? Uncle… do you know that all these years, in order to find you, I’ve taken over the businesses of my other uncles and elders, and I haven’t let go of any of the connections I could make in both the underworld and the legitimate world?”

Jiang Muyu laughed as he spoke. He knew perfectly well what he had been after all these years. He had power and money. But none of these could fill the void in his crumbling heart.

Jiang Muyu has always wanted Jiang Yuzhou.

Doing those things is simply to infinitely increase one's chances of finding someone, until it reaches its limit.

In just a few years, he offended countless people.

He had offended too many people, and he no longer cared who was responsible for the car accident. The meaning of his life had long been consumed by the disappointment of his fruitless search for his missing person.

What a ridiculous life.

The eyes can see the light, but the light in the heart has been completely extinguished.

"If I had known that the price of regaining my sight would be losing you, I would have preferred to remain blind for the rest of my life."

Jiang Yuzhou recalled how overjoyed he was when he learned that Jiang Muyu had a chance to recover. However, the fact that the old man had given him a share of the family business displeased the other brothers, and Jiang Muyu was the Jiang family member he cared about most at that time.

If he didn't leave the Jiang family, he would implicate Jiang Muyu. He wouldn't hesitate for a second when making his choice.

The little devil who most wanted to see this world shouldn't be implicated. He had an accident not long after leaving home, and afterwards he went into hiding, thinking he could live peacefully, but he was unexpectedly dragged into this game.

"I didn't mean to abandon you. I planned to see you and take you away after your surgery. Unfortunately, I was pulled into a dungeon, and the seventh level wasn't so easy, so I wasted time and didn't go to find you."

Jiang Muyu gazed quietly into Jiang Yuzhou's captivating eyes. He had remarked that his uncle was very handsome, with even more alluring eyes than in the photos.

In fact, Jiang Muyu had already seen Jiang Yuzhou in the photo frame and learned her full name during the investigation. But knowing her identity was useless; not being able to find her was a predetermined outcome.

It's better to keep searching blindly, leaving yourself with a glimmer of hope. Since you can't find the person because you haven't provided enough information, perhaps one day you'll be blessed by the gods and have the person you're looking for brought to you.

Every time, he was told about Jiang Yuzhou through others, whether it was his name or his appearance. Did Jiang Yuzhou really care about him that much? He didn't say anything, as if he was ready to walk away at any moment.

But none of that matters anymore. Jiang Muyu is still blessed by the gods, and the person he has been longing for has been delivered right before his eyes.

Jiang Muyu smiled and loosened his grip.

"I knew my uncle didn't want to leave me; it's all other people's fault. I didn't let any of those uncles and elders go. This game trapped my uncle but also helped me find him. What should I do?"

Jiang Muyu seemed troubled as he considered how to make a decision.

Jiang Yuzhou narrowed his eyes. Jiang Muyu before him was, in some ways, similar to Lu Tiannan, whom he had encountered when he first entered the second floor. That guy's berserk state when his talent was fully unleashed… How could Jiang Muyu share this trait? Was it just his imagination?

"Is Uncle having a good time here? I heard he changes his social circle a lot. What's so great about those people? I'm all you need from now on..."

"If Uncle goes to fool around with other people again, I will kill that person and use them as a snack for Uncle."

Jiang Muyu smiled sweetly, but his tone was sinister.

"Sleep with one, then kill one."

Jiang Yuzhou broke out in a cold sweat. When did Jiang Muyu become like this? Did he raise him to be corrupted from the beginning, or was it the work of those bastards after he left?

"Xiao Yu, how...how did you become like this?"

"What? Do I look like a madman?" Jiang Muyu said casually, not taking it seriously.

"I've been crazy for years. I've been going crazy every day my uncle is gone. Come to think of it, I really like it here. The thrill of killing data helps me relieve the frustration of not being able to find my uncle."

Jiang Muyu noticed Jiang Yuzhou frowning and raised his hand to smooth it out, but Jiang Yuzhou dodged him.

Jiang Muyu sneered and pinched Jiang Yuzhou's chin, making Jiang Yuzhou's chin hurt.

"Uncle, even if you hate me, don't think you can escape now. Unless I die, I won't give you any chance to avoid me again."

"These days I've been thinking about how to keep you by my side forever. It seems easy enough to sever your Achilles tendon or break your leg."

"..." Jiang Yuzhou felt that Jiang Muyu must have suffered some injustice to become like this, but the other party did not mention it at all.

Jiang Yuzhou decided to calm Jiang Muyu down first, placing his hand on the other's wrist to free his chin.

"I will not leave."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Muyu relaxed his grip and pulled the person into his arms.

When her voice softens, it sounds like she was being coquettish in her youth.

"Uncle, please stop lying to me, or I will really do what I just said."

"I don't want to be violent towards my uncle, but only if he doesn't make me angry."

Jiang Yuzhou's eyes were dark, but in an instant, his peach blossom eyes revealed a smile.

"Now that you're grown up, instead of thinking about how to protect me, you're only thinking about how to threaten me?"

Jiang Muyu smiled calmly, his tone gentle.

"I don't want to threaten Uncle, it's just... I'm so insecure. I only became like this after Uncle disappeared, so please bear with me, Uncle."

"I will protect my uncle well, without a doubt."

Jiang Yuzhou originally wanted to try to mentally control Jiang Muyu, but for some reason Jiang Muyu did not react at all.

The first person I encountered who didn't react at all was that guy Lu Tiannan.

What these two have in common is that they can go crazy at any moment...

Jiang Yuzhou thought helplessly—always being associated with madmen, perhaps he himself is a potential madman.
