Sun Xuelin dragged Xiu and rushed over to the crowd.
Ye Chong frowned. He did not like this kind of place. It was too noisy, too crowded, and unwittingly limited his range of movement. It also made it harder for him to grasp the situation around him.
Ye Chong frowned, but still squeezed in with the two.
In the middle of the crowd, an old man was knocked to the ground. His belongings were scattered all over the ground. Another middle-aged man was cursing loudly, "You stupid old man, don't you see where you're going? This set of clothes is worth five gold diamonds! Can you afford to pay for it if you break it? Look, it's wrinkled, and you'll have to spend another few hundred diamonds to maintain it! " As he spoke, he looked at the old man on the ground with disdain. "Look at your poor appearance. I don't think you can afford it. Humph, I'm unlucky today. What a blind old thing!" He had an arrogant look on his face.
Sun Xuelin was the first to jump out, pointing angrily at the middle-aged man, "You're too much, you knocked down an old man and you're still spouting nonsense here, it's infuriating, if you keep spouting nonsense, I'll beat you up! Hmph hmph! "Sun Xuelin rolled up her sleeves, looking like she was going to beat someone up.
A'xiu walked over to the old man and helped him up with great difficulty. She carefully patted the dust off the old man's body and asked softly, "Grandpa, are you alright?" The old man said gratefully to A'xiu, "I'm alright, little girl, thank you!" A'xiu smiled softly.
"Ah, a little girl like you dares to point fingers at me? Didn't your parents teach you basic manners? Hmph, you're obviously not a good person! Hmph, let me tell you … "
Sun Xuelin was so angry that the veins on her forehead were throbbing. She clenched her fists tighter and tighter. Xiu quickly stepped forward to calm Xuelin, who was about to go berserk.
The middle-aged man saw that Sun Xuelin did not dare to make a move, and was even more pleased with himself, "Hehe … Young lady, let me tell you …"
Their confrontation did not catch Ye Chong's attention. His attention was completely drawn to a small holographic box on the ground.
Perhaps it was easy to misunderstand the size of the box. The holographic image box was actually only five centimeters square. It was very small. The light purple surface had two intertwined spiral patterns. Two sides were slightly concave, and the top side had a small hole. The small hole projected various colored lights. The lights converged to form a translucent human figure. Its clothes and expression were lifelike. It was the pocket-sized version of the old man that had just been hit. The holographic image box was usually used to record a certain scene. It was slightly more expensive than the chip and was usually used as a souvenir.
However, what caught Ye Chong's attention was not the holographic video box itself, but the report the pocket-sized old man was giving.
"As for the engine design of the mech, I've used the Fairfa ring and short-pulse photon circuits. Here, I have to mention a young friend I met in the Virtual World. It was his suggestion that inspired me …" It was obviously a professional report from an academic conference.
Wasn't the combination of the Fairfa Ring and the short-pulse light path the method that Grandpa Xu in Aurora had been researching? He had even explained the method to Ye Chong in great detail. Could it be Grandpa Xu? Ye Chong could not help but take a closer look at the old man before him. As expected, the old man looked somewhat similar to Grandpa Xu.
Ye Chong walked over and asked tentatively, "Grandpa Xu?"
The old man was obviously surprised. "You are?" Old Xu looked at the young man before him. Most people who knew him would call him Old Xu or Professor Xu. Those who called him Grandpa Xu were usually his relatives, or the grandchildren of some old friends. However, he did not recognize this person before him. Could he be the grandson of a good friend?
Ye Chong looked at Old Xu's expression and knew that his guess was correct. He said excitedly, "Grandpa Xu, I'm Little Y! YC, do you remember me? The Little Y from Aurora! "
YC! He's YC! Sun Xuelin, who was furious just a moment ago, suddenly quieted down. Xiu covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes filled with disbelief. The two of them were stunned. They looked at each other, their eyes bursting with joy. Ye Chong, who was fully focused on Grandpa Xu, did not notice the difference between the two. However, even if Ye Chong did notice it, he would not have thought that it was related to him.
Grandpa Xu was also stunned, and pulled Ye Chong's hand excitedly, "Little Y? You're Little Y? That's great! That's great! "Grandpa Xu was too excited to speak properly. Ye Chong smiled shyly! Grandpa Xu saw the familiar expression and confirmed it!
Sun Xuelin and Xiu looked like they had seen a ghost. They did not expect to see such an expression on Ye Chong's face. Their expressions were much more interesting than Ye Chong's.
The middle-aged man saw that Ye Chong and the rest seemed to be acquainted with the old man. He rolled his eyes and spoke in a scoundrel tone, "Hah, you old man, you've dirtied my clothes. This is a luxury item worth 5 gold diamonds, pay me back now!"
Ye Chong ignored the middle-aged man and supported Grandpa Xu, "Grandpa Xu, let's go!" Grandpa Xu nodded, "Yes, let's go!" Xuelin and Xiu supported Grandpa Xu on the other side.
The middle-aged man saw that they were leaving, and pulled Ye Chong hurriedly, "No, you can't leave like this. Pay me back first, I'm telling you, I'm a man of status …"
The moment the middle-aged man's hand touched Ye Chong, Ye Chong moved!
Ye Chong moved slightly, and grabbed the middle-aged man's neck. Ye Chong was about to kill when Mu warned, "Don't! Ye! "
Ye Chong's hand paused. Fortunately, Ye Chong had a good grasp of strength, or else the middle-aged man would be dead for sure.
Ye Chong asked curiously, "Mu, what's wrong?"
Mu replied, "According to the information, killing someone on the street is against the local law, and you will be severely hunted down!"
"Oh, the law? What's that? "
"The law that humans set for their society!"
"Oh, but what does it have to do with me? I still don't understand! "
"It's a complicated question, but it's obviously not a good time to discuss it!"
"Alright, we'll talk about it when we get back. What should we do now?"
"According to the information, intimidation is obviously a good choice! According to popular psychology, the person is obviously in a state of shock, and with a certain degree of intimidation, the success rate of ending the trouble is more than 92%. "
"Intimidation, right? Then try it! "
The crowd only saw a blur, and Ye Chong's right hand was already on the middle-aged man's throat. The middle-aged man's throat tightened, and he could not help but open his mouth to struggle. The crowd also gasped in shock.
Ye Chong whispered softly in the middle-aged man's ear, "If you don't stop, I'll kill you!" His tone was flat, as if he was narrating something normal.
Ye Chong calmly released the middle-aged man, and turned back to Grandpa Xu.
The middle-aged man clutched his throat and coughed violently. He looked like he was in pain, and could not speak a word. His eyes were filled with extreme fear. The sentence just now was like a cold winter wind, and he was shivering uncontrollably like he was naked.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd. Someone shouted, "The police are here!" "Great, the police are finally here!"
