Zhou Cheng, have you also been reborn?
Hearing Zhou Cheng's words, Zhang Yuanyuan frowned slightly, feeling a bit sad in her heart; she turned her head to look at Zhou Cheng.
"So, in your heart, have I really become so unbearable?"
Zhang Yuanyuan felt somewhat sorrowful! Her voice carried a touch of tenderness and grievance.
But Zhou Cheng was not affected at all.
From the beginning, it was his Previous Self who liked Zhang Yuanyuan. Although he had inherited the memories of his Previous Self, he himself had not developed any feelings for Zhang Yuanyuan.
Although Zhang Yuanyuan was very beautiful, he was not the type of person who thought with his lower body!
Plus, being in this short drama world, Zhou Cheng was genuinely worried that he might get trapped if he wasn't careful!
He hadn't yet reached the point where he could afford to not eat beef at will!
Zhou Cheng did not answer; in his mind, there were only two types of people: those who broke the law and those who did not.
"In my past life, I didn't do anything to you. Even my Rebirth was inexplicable. Perhaps I never actually experienced Rebirth, and it was just a dream I had. But compared to now, I would rather the present be the dream, because in that world, I still had you, while now, I feel you drifting further and further away."
Zhang Yuanyuan spoke her Inner Voice.
"Is that so? Well, it doesn't matter. Even if I'm drifting further away from you, as long as I'm getting closer to the masses, it's fine." Zhou Cheng acted as if he were allergic to romance.
"Zhou Cheng, this is my biggest secret, and I've only told you."
"Oh." Zhou Cheng responded.
He knew that this wasn't a dream for Zhang Yuanyuan, but a genuine Rebirth.
Because he knew that Zhang Yuanyuan was the protagonist of this drama, while he was just a Villain supporting character in it.
Hearing Zhou Cheng's indifferent words, Zhang Yuanyuan looked at him earnestly.
"Zhou Cheng, did you also experience Rebirth? Otherwise, why are you like a completely different person than before? Why do you seem so heartless? Did I truly hurt you in my past life?"
Zhang Yuanyuan looked at Zhou Cheng with earnest eyes as she spoke; she wanted to know if Zhou Cheng had also experienced Rebirth!
"No." Zhou Cheng shook his head, not even bothering to explain further.
The current him and the previous Zhou Cheng were two different people!
"Then can we go back to how things were? As long as we can return to the past, I'll do whatever you ask." Zhang Yuanyuan said again.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Cheng turned his head to look at Zhang Yuanyuan!
"Anything at all?"
Facing Zhou Cheng's gaze, Zhang Yuanyuan's face flushed slightly.
"Yes, anything at all, but it will take some time."
"That's fine, it doesn't matter how long it takes." Zhou Cheng said casually.
"Just help me prove that for any rational (coefficient) cohomology class of type (p, p) on a non-singular (smooth) complex projective algebraic variety (X), there exists an algebraic cycle such that the cohomology class represented by this algebraic cycle equals that (p, p) type class."
"Huh?" Zhang Yuanyuan's mouth hung open as she listened to Zhou Cheng's string of incomprehensible jargon.
"See? You can't do that, can you? So, never speak too absolutely; the same goes for feelings."
"This is one of the ten greatest mathematical problems of today; you can study it slowly. Oh, right, we're at your place." Zhou Cheng said.
Zhang Yuanyuan: ?
...
After dropping Zhang Yuanyuan off at home, Zhou Cheng went home too.
He washed up casually and then lay down on the bed to sleep.
When Zhang Yuanyuan finally got out of the car, Zhou Cheng still reminded her to stay away from Gu Beifan.
At the same time, he also told her about Clear Drink Residence.
As for whether Zhang Yuanyuan listened or not, that was up to her!
Meanwhile, the events of the evening were posted online by the onlookers at the hotel!
The topic immediately went viral and shot straight to the top of the trending searches!
"Started by not paying for a meal, ended with the whole family getting arrested!"
"Is this a live version of Detective Conan? That Police Officer Brother holding evidence and revealing the truth was so cool!"
"A murder case from fourteen years ago! The killer was right beside us!"
"Let's see who dares to eat without paying now!"
"Hey buddies who often eat without paying, watch out; your parents might have killed someone behind your back!"
Various captions, paired with videos recorded on the scene, attracted countless netizens to watch!
And they exclaimed how satisfying it was!
"Damn, that pair of old dogs made me so angry, it's good they were all arrested!"
"It's this Police Officer Brother again. I've realized now that whoever dares to provoke him, he really arrests them!"
"Last time it was his ex-girlfriend's Best Friend's family, now it's his ex-girlfriend's uncle's family. I can only say, brutal!"
"I was outside Haosheng Hotel at the time, and I was wondering why there were several police cars; so that was it!"
"Brother, why were you outside the hotel? Why didn't you go in?"
"Go in, my ass, Haosheng Hotel has a minimum spend of ten thousand, do you think I'm a rich second-generation heir?"
"But this is too cruel, they are his ex-girlfriend's family after all."
"Uh, is the person above retarded? He's helping his ex-girlfriend get rid of a menace. Does your family kill your own younger brother?"
"..."
After Gu Beifan left Haosheng Hotel, he drove straight home.
His father was not home at this time. Only his older brother was there!
Seeing Gu Beifan return, Gu Dongchen took a bottle of wine, went to the living room, and poured two glasses.
"Did you go to find that Zhang Yuanyuan?" Gu Dongchen asked.
He was also very concerned about the plan Gu Beifan mentioned last time, especially if they could hitch a ride on the big ship of the Zhou Family, they would be much safer.
"Yeah, big brother, but I feel like something is wrong!" Gu Beifan picked up the wine glass and took a light sip.
"What's wrong?" Gu Dongchen asked suspiciously.
"I feel like this Zhou Cheng now seems like a completely different person. He doesn't seem to be as obedient to Zhang Yuanyuan as before, and he's not as obsessed with Zhang Yuanyuan as he used to be!" Gu Beifan expressed his thoughts.
"If that's really the case, I'm afraid our plans will fall through! Even if Zhang Yuanyuan asks, Zhou Cheng definitely won't agree!" He added.
Listening to his younger brother's words, Gu Dongchen took a cigarette case out of his pocket, took one out, lit it, and started smoking.
"Tell me the specific situation."
"Today Zhang Yuanyuan called me to Haosheng Hotel..." Gu Beifan recounted the events of the evening one by one.
Afterwards, he concluded: "Before, Zhou Cheng arrested Zhang Yuanyuan's Best Friend's family, and now he has actually arrested Zhang Yuanyuan's uncle's family. If he were truly still obsessed with Zhang Yuanyuan, he wouldn't be doing these things! Because Zhang Yuanyuan has always treated her uncle's family as her own family!"
"This is too much of a blow to Zhang Yuanyuan; he couldn't possibly not know that!"
"So I suspect that Zhou Cheng has completely abandoned Zhang Yuanyuan now; he probably doesn't like her anymore!"
Gu Dongchen listened to Gu Beifan's words, his brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't answer immediately. He took two more puffs of his cigarette. Then, with the mature tone of someone who had been through it all, he said: "No, you are wrong!"
After saying this, he took two more puffs of his cigarette and exhaled the smoke. Gu Beifan looked at Gu Dongchen with confusion upon hearing this.
"It is precisely because he likes her that he would do these things!"
"Think about it, didn't Zhang Yuanyuan's Best Friend break the law? Didn't her uncle's family kill her younger brother, and weren't they parasitizing Zhang Yuanyuan and sucking her blood?"
"And Zhou Cheng, while seemingly heartlessly arresting the people around her, is actually helping her clear away the people who hurt her the most!"
"This is the ultimate expression of deep love for her!"
"Seemingly indifferent, but actually caring; seemingly heartless, but actually filled with deep affection!"
Gu Beifan, upon hearing this, was still a bit confused; he looked at Gu Dongchen. "Big brother, is that really the case?"
"Of course, your big brother is someone who has been through it; I understand this feeling of unrequited love!"
"This is what true love is..."
