Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

The next morning, Meng Chuan was still asleep when he was suddenly awakened by a rapid ringing of his cell phone.

He groggily reached for his phone, glanced at the screen, and saw that it was Yingdie calling.

"Hey, Shadow Butterfly, what's wrong?"

Meng Chuan rubbed his eyes.

I just taught Yingdie how to make a phone call yesterday.

I never expected her to call me today.

"I don't have an ID card, so I can't get a license plate."

Yingdie's voice remained cold.

Upon hearing this, Meng Chuan immediately became more alert and sat up abruptly from the bed.

"What? You don't have an ID card? How do you live your life then?"

Meng Chuan found it hard to believe.

"I don't usually use my ID card."

Yingdie gave a brief reply.

Yingdie didn't lie to Meng Chuan; she was completely invisible in this world.

She had no worries about any of her daily needs.

All she needs to do is follow orders and execute them.

"Fifth Master! You've really brought the movie into reality! How dare you?"

Meng Chuan couldn't help but curse Fifth Master in his heart.

Last night, Meng Chuan searched for a lot of information on his phone.

The discovery of someone like Yingdie, with exceptional combat skills and who doesn't even know how to use a cell phone, suggests only one possibility—she was raised and trained by a gang or assassin organization from a young age.

This dark force raises these children from a young age, stripping them of their self-awareness.

They were trained to be emotionless "tools," similar to the assassins of ancient times.

Sometimes, it even leads to these people killing each other, a process of survival of the fittest.

The Shadow Butterfly perfectly fits this description.

Yingdie didn't even know the basic fact that you need an ID card to get into the car.

It is clear that Yingdie is a complete novice when it comes to daily life.

Fifth Master is involved in the underworld, and Yingdie's misfortune must have been caused by him.

Moreover, Fifth Master may have more than just Yingdie as a person under his command.

Meng Chuan initially had a good impression of Fifth Master, thinking he was a loyal and righteous man.

Now, however, he has no good feelings towards Fifth Master whatsoever.

At the same time, Meng Chuan also harbored deep fear of Fifth Master.

No wonder so many wealthy and noble families are afraid of Fifth Master.

It seems that it's not just the rumor that Fifth Master is all alone, daring to fight and kill.

Instead, Fifth Master has a group of assassins like Yingdie behind him.

Meng Chuan is not yet strong enough to contend with Fifth Master.

Even if Fifth Master wanted to deal with him, he could kill him without knowing why in a matter of minutes.

Therefore, Meng Chuan did not dare to question Fifth Master.

Meng Chuan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down:

"Where are you?"

"I'm at the school gate."

Shadow Butterfly answered.

"Okay, wait for me there, I'll be right there."

After finishing his sentence, Meng Chuan hung up the phone and quickly got up to wash up.

Half an hour later, Meng Chuan arrived at the school gate.

Yingdie was still wearing that black tight leather outfit, standing expressionless beside the car.

"Let's go, let's go to the vehicle management office first."

Meng Chuan said to Ying Die.

Yingdie nodded and got into the driver's seat.

Meng Chuan sat in the back row, pondering how to resolve Ying Die's identity issue.

This matter cannot be delayed, otherwise Yingdie's life will become increasingly inconvenient.

When we arrived at the vehicle management office, the 4S store also sent someone to assist us, and we were able to get the car registered smoothly.

On the way back to school, Meng Chuan still sat in the back row.

Looking at the scenery rushing past the window, she pondered how she should face her relationship with Fifth Master.

You can befriend someone like Fifth Master, but you shouldn't become too close to him.

He's like a venomous snake in the dark, ready to pounce and deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

I must improve my strength as soon as possible, otherwise I will be devoured by Fifth Master sooner or later.

Just as Meng Chuan was lost in thought, suddenly—"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the entire car jolted violently as if it had been hit.

Meng Chuan was startled and looked up sharply, only to see spiderweb-like cracks spreading in the center of the bulletproof glass.

The outer layer of glass shattered, but from the inside, the glass still appeared intact.

It's worth noting that Meng Chuan's car window is bulletproof and 8 centimeters thick.

What could possibly smash something like that into it?

Just as Meng Chuan was shocked and confused, the partition in the driver's cab suddenly lowered, and Ying Die said urgently:

"It's a 556 sniper rifle, get down!"

Meng Chuan was startled and quickly lay down under the seat, his heart pounding in his chest.

The other person was aiming for his forehead.

If it weren't for the bulletproof glass, Meng Chuan would already be a corpse at this moment.

"Damn, they're serious."

Meng Chuan was utterly shocked.

At the same time, I am extremely fortunate.

I'm so glad I bought this bulletproof car.

Yingdie had already stepped on the gas, and the car roared away through the bustling city.

"Shadow Butterfly, what's going on? Who's sniping at us?"

Meng Chuan lay hunched over the seat, his voice trembling slightly.

Even reborn people are still human, and this was the first time Meng Chuan had encountered such a life-or-death moment.

"I don't know, but the other party is a professional sniper."

Yingdie's voice remained calm, but the car's speed increased.

Meng Chuan felt a wave of fear wash over him.

If the car hadn't been bulletproof, that shot would probably have killed him.

"What do we do now?"

Meng Chuan asked.

"Shake them off."

Yingdie gave a brief reply.

Yingdie's emotions did not seem to fluctuate much.

This contrasts sharply with Meng Chuan's panic.

Meng Chuan didn't say anything more; he knew now was not the time to ask questions.

Yingdie is a professional; he can only trust her.

The car sped through the city, and Yingdie's driving skills were extremely proficient.

Several close lane changes and overtaking maneuvers made Meng Chuan's heart leap into his throat.

"It's safe."

Yingdie suddenly spoke.

How can you be sure it's safe?

Meng Chuan was still very nervous.

"A professional assassin will retreat if he misses his first shot. We are now out of his sniping range."

Yingdie explained calmly.

Meng Chuan opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but then felt that it made a lot of sense.

That's how it's portrayed in movies.

"Is it possible that they have other assassins lying in ambush?"

Meng Chuan suddenly asked.

Having distanced themselves from the assassin from before, could there be other assassins out there?

Thinking of this, Meng Chuan shrank his neck, not daring to show his head.

“I can’t rule out that possibility. That’s why I want to go to the school and stay by your side 24 hours a day.”

After a two-second silence, Yingdie spoke.

"You...you don't even have an ID card, how did you get into my school?"

Meng Chuan said helplessly.

Although Shanghai University is not completely closed off.

However, ordinary people need to swipe their ID cards to enter and exit.

"The school gate can't stop me."

"That's what Yingdie said."

Just thinking about Yingdie's elusive and unpredictable movements...

Meng Chuan felt relieved.

But the next moment, Meng Chuan became somewhat troubled:

"But we are a man and a woman alone together..."

This is inconvenient!

It's good that someone saw it.

Meng Chuan didn't care about rumors or gossip.

But Liu Qian video chats with him almost every night.

What if Liu Qian discovers he's keeping a mistress...
