Chapter 718: Ji Fulin’s Story

[X City, The Elite Zone]

The Elite Zone is situated in a district of X City, where the wealthy and influential gather and reside.

Ordinary people are not allowed to enter without permission. Even government officials and high-ranking authorities must behave politely and conduct themselves with decorum when they step into this area.

The buildings here are far more impressive and luxurious than any others in the world. The roads and streets are meticulously clean, with not a trace of dirt in sight.

All the structures are constructed from high-quality glass and materials. The trees are planted in an orderly fashion, and the zone prohibits tourism, preventing outsiders from visiting despite the countless attractions available.

On the roads, many vehicles traverse the area, all of which are among the most expensive modes of transportation in the world. In terms of development, this zone leads the way. It gives the impression of living in a futuristic world, as its technology is extraordinarily advanced.

Xie Xie looked around with curiosity, tightly gripping Shenlian Yingyue’s sleeve while scanning his surroundings vigilantly. He resembled an alert beast, ready to spring forward and confront anything that threatened his master.

"Relax, Xie Xie," Shenlian Yingyue said, patting his broad shoulder.

"Master, what are those monsters...?" Xie Xie asked, his voice tinged with childlike curiosity. His golden and black pupils surveyed the vehicles on the road with skepticism.

"They’re not monsters; they’re vehicles. People use them for travel," she patiently explained as she stepped out of the train station.

"Are they like beasts for riding?" Xie Xie asked, his gaze fixed on the fastest sports car on the road.

"Those are not monsters; they are machines created by humans," Shenlian Yingyue continued, glancing around.

She wondered what Ji Fulin had done to obtain the special permission to enter this zone. What steps had he taken?

"Young Master, is that you?"

Just as she and Huang Bai Xing were exploring the area, a figure in a black suit rushed over.

"Uncle, it’s good to see you!" Ji Fulin replied with a light smile, waving his hand. Today, he wore glasses and a suit that made him look like a true gentleman.

The man who rushed over appeared to be in his early forties. He was dressed in a butler suit and tie, looking very tidy and professional.

Shenlian Yingyue and Huang Bai Xing could tell that this man was someone significant to Ji Fulin.

Indeed, this butler had cared for Ji Fulin for over twenty years. Since Ji Fulin’s birth, the butler had attended to his daily needs. He was like a second father to Ji Fulin.

"I recently regained my memory and contacted you last night." Ji Fulin fabricated a story that was partly true and partly false.

The truth was that his body had suffered severe damage from the accident, and he had died. Before he passed away, he didn’t want everyone to be sad, so he fought hard to move, jumped out of his room’s window, and crawled to a hidden place that was off-limits to everyone.

He believed no one would find his corpse, as even his grandfather dared not enter that forbidden area.

"Young master, do you remember the person who attacked you?" The butler’s voice was extremely cold as he pounded the table in frustration. He blamed himself for leaving the young master alone under the care of the maids while he went out to run some errands.

"Don’t worry, uncle. I’ve already taken care of that person," Ji Fulin began to spin a tale.

"Sigh... it’s a relief that you’re alright now, young master. By the way, who are those elderly couple? I’ll report this news to the lord and lady so they can express their gratitude to them." The butler’s eyes sparkled with a bright smile.

In the past, he had considered suicide, blaming himself for not taking better care of the young master. He had never slept well and lived in constant guilt.

"They’re living well now, uncle. I’ve taken good care of them. You don’t need to blame yourself. Over the years, I’ve learned a lot and gained many new experiences," Ji Fulin said gently, smiling at the butler, who beamed with happiness.

"The old lord and lady will be overjoyed to hear the news about you, young master." The butler clasped his hands together, speaking with enthusiasm.
