Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 294 - 254: Reborn Several Times and Still Not Doing So Well
Chapter 294: Chapter 254: Reborn Several Times and Still Not Doing So Well
A warm smile, a sincere expression, as if ready for a heart-to-heart.
The difference in his attitude before and after was so vast, it was like he was two different people.
Yu Dong rubbed his shoulder with a displeased look on his face. "Your bodyguards are ruthless. They even said they were going to break my arm... I had no idea meeting you would be so dangerous."
Hearing Yu Dong’s complaint, Yin Shuangyang chuckled and called out, "Secretary, have the four of them come in."
Yu Dong waved his hand. "Forget it. I don’t need the apology. Let’s get down to business, President Yin."
Yin Shuangyang held up a hand, stopping Yu Dong from saying more.
Then, the four bodyguards entered. Yin Shuangyang said with a smile, "Pair up. Each of you break one of your partner’s arms. I want to hear it."
Without a word, the four bodyguards immediately faced each other and grabbed their partners’ arms.
CRACK~ CRACK~
CRACK~ CRACK~
All four bodyguards’ arms were twisted to an angle that was painful just to look at, letting out a sickening crunch of breaking bone before hanging limply at their sides.
"Apologize to my brother."
The four men, drenched in cold sweat, trembled as they shouted, "We’re sorry, Boss!"
"You may go."
Yu Dong looked at Yin Shuangyang, his expression changing slightly. "It seems you’re quite strict with your men, President Yin..."
Yin Shuangyang patted Yu Dong’s hand and said with a meaningful smile:
"If you do something wrong, you get punished. If you do something right, you get rewarded. The reason is unimportant..."
Yu Dong didn’t bite, getting straight to the point:
"President Yin, let’s not worry about these minor details. Let’s talk business. If you believe me, then we need to prepare for the future. I have two proposals. Let’s see which one you want to choose..."
"First, I tell you all the detailed information about the future apocalypse—from the time of the outbreak to the types of zombies, all the way to the future power structure of Yanhai City. You give me one hundred million, and I’ll be on my way. I’ll have fulfilled our agreement from the last life."
"Second, we combine my foresight with your financial power. We build a large base together, clear out zombies after the apocalypse, and become the kingpins of the new order. Then, we’ll rule Yanhai City together."
"You choose."
After speaking, Yu Dong looked at Yin Shuangyang, awaiting his answer.
"Is there even a choice, brother! Since you trusted me enough to risk coming here over a single sentence, I have to see this through with you. Brother, your skills and your guts... tsk tsk~ A Reincarnator who fought their way back from the apocalypse is really something else. Come, come... let’s talk about the end of the world. When were you reborn? How many times has it been? Your big brother here treated you well in the last life, didn’t I?"
"I was reborn the night before last. I took a day to recover, got a spa treatment, had some tea, and came to find you once I was well-rested. As for how many times... many. The apocalypse is too dangerous. One wrong move and you’re dead. I’ve got plenty of experience in dying by now..."
After settling on a partnership model, Yu Dong and Yin Shuangyang began to chat.
The two talked continuously, letting out hearty laughs. Yin Shuangyang was especially flattering toward Yu Dong, who responded with cheerful smiles as they discussed some basic information.
They hit it off instantly, as if they should have met years ago!
If there had been a statue of Guan Gong, they probably would have become sworn brothers on the spot.
Yu Dong shared some basic information with Yin Shuangyang without revealing too many details, but Yin Shuangyang treated it like a priceless treasure.
After chatting for two hours, Yin Shuangyang glanced at his watch and said with a smile:
"Brother Yu, it’s time for lunch. You head over first. I’ll delegate some company matters to my people, and then I’ll come find you. We’ll prepare for the apocalypse together!"
"Alright, I’ll wait for you."
The secretary led Yu Dong to Yin Shuangyang’s private dining room.
Yin Shuangyang’s smile slowly faded. He took out his phone and made a few calls.
"Investigate Yu Dong, a senior in the Food Engineering program at Yanhai University. I want his detailed information..."
"What has Zou been up to lately? Has he met anyone strange?"
"Liu, take me to Yanhai Bank Headquarters."
He went to the bank and personally opened his safe deposit box. The ledger was still where he had left it. The small, hidden markers that only he knew about were untouched, which basically proved that no one had accessed the ledger.
’Then maybe Yu Dong really did see it in a past life. It doesn’t make sense otherwise, unless this is all part of some massive scheme against me.’
On the way back, Yin Shuangyang’s eyes were deep with thought.
’An infinite Reincarnator... Do they really exist? Would someone set up such an elaborate trap for me?’
Paradoxically, the sheer absurdity of it all made Yin Shuangyang more inclined to believe it.
’If someone really was plotting against me, they wouldn’t use a story with countless inexplicable holes. Yu Dong’s claims are completely irrational, blaming everything on a past life.’
And there was no way for him to verify it.
’But he was able to accurately state my two core secrets. This scheme definitely didn’t come from the authorities... because if they knew, they would have seized the ledger and arrested Zou Long first.’
’In other words, Yu Dong definitely isn’t with the authorities.’
’The underworld... even less likely. I haven’t been involved in that for years. That sort of thing isn’t in style anymore; if something goes wrong, everyone goes down together. The old friends I knew had either gone legitimate or fled overseas for refuge.’
He would only play that card if his life were in danger...
Once he did, he’d be a fugitive on the run, and everything he had would be gone.
’For someone from the underworld to target me like this would be mutual self-destruction. It’s meaningless.’
’As for business rivals...’ Yin Shuangyang laughed. ’One look at my ledger would scare them to death.’
Having ruled out the authorities, the underworld, and business rivals, this absurd story... actually seemed like it could be real!
This was also why Yin Shuangyang’s attitude toward Yu Dong was so good.
Because even if there was only a fifty percent chance it was true, it could be his opportunity to change his fate once again.
Making money no longer thrilled him. He had no grand business ambitions, no desire to change the world—he just acquired land, developed it, and profited.
He had plenty of money.
Now, he amused himself by serving as a committee member for official associations, occasionally doing charity work, holding poor orphans for photo ops, and donating a bit of money to the elderly and widowed.
He was considered a star entrepreneur in Yanhai City, possessing both fame and fortune.
But that "new world order" Yu Dong spoke of... it made the blood that had cooled over the years run hot again.
It didn’t matter how much of what Yu Dong said was true or false. As long as the part about an apocalyptic zombie virus outbreak turning 90% of the population into zombies was real, that was enough for him.
’A new, world-changing era.’
’A Reincarnator with the ability to be reborn infinitely, and the biggest thing his mind can conjure up is just ruling Yanhai City...’
’No wonder he’s been reborn several times and still hasn’t amounted to much...’
’But, those are your good qualities. Otherwise... how would I have my chance?’
"Ha~ hahaha~ HAHAHAHAHAHA~~~"
Yin Shuangyang laughed, laughed without any semblance of his usual image, laughed until tears streamed from his eyes. He even leaked a few drops from down below.
Then he grabbed the female secretary behind him and, right in front of the driver, forced her head down.
Holding it down firmly!
