Chapter 1640: Chapter 1640: Adventure
The room Ji Lingkong provided was very large and comfortable, equipped with the best medical facilities and doctors on twenty-four-hour watch, because the madam liked him very much and gave him the best care.
However, Halian Jing still assigned people to monitor him closely outside the room, preventing him from having any contact with the outside world.
If one doesn’t have a defensive mindset like this, how could he climb to such a high position?
"Young man, do you know who I am?" He appeared before Ji Lingkong with a full face of authority and presence, his eyes deep, hiding profound exploration and observation.
Ji Lingkong raised his head, unafraid to meet his sharp, hawk-like gaze.
"The Aus Empire, Councilman of the highest council chamber!"
"Even without letting you contact the outside world, you seem to know quite a lot." Halian Jing couldn’t help but be sarcastic, though he was somewhat shaken; this young man, not very old, yet his gaze was so clear and composed, completely undaunted meeting his eyes.
Clearly, he is indeed not a simple character.
"Thank you for the appreciation." Ji Lingkong said calmly with a smile.
He had been in this world for half a month; although unable to contact the outside world, he gleaned a lot of information from the words of the gentle Councilman’s wife, and conversations among the medical staff and servants.
And he himself was indeed very intelligent; by piecing together the information, he roughly understood his situation.
He had fallen into another world, in the sea, saved by this country’s Councilman’s wife, and brought back to be carefully looked after. But this Councilman seemed to distrust him, monitoring him closely.
He could understand it; after all, people in high positions of power hold suspicion towards those of unknown origins; it couldn’t be more normal.
However, he didn’t want to reveal the fact that he came from another world; not to mention being seen as a monster, those people probably wouldn’t believe it, instead, their suspicion would only deepen.
It’s just that he really hadn’t expected that after being sucked into the whirlpool of his sunken ship, thinking he was doomed, he would encounter such an adventure and arrive in another world.
Even though he had heard many stories about the Bermuda Triangle and crossing into alien worlds, having it happen to himself was simply unbelievable.
Anyway, he was alive, so he wouldn’t give up on life.
At the very least, in the end, he saved Yiyi and let her live on; he just couldn’t go back, couldn’t see her one last time. The thought of this brought indescribable heartache.
Even when they were separated before, even though she didn’t love him, they were, at least, in the same world, and they could see each other whenever they missed each other.
Now separated by infinite space and time, it was impossible to meet again, this was the taste of true loss, leaving no room for hope, only despair.
At this moment, Ji Lingkong didn’t know that Jun Yiyi, at the last moment, let go of her hand and followed him into the sea, arriving in this world as well.
"My wife wants to take you in as her adoptive son, do you know about this?" Halian Jing was somewhat dissatisfied, naturally venting his resentment at this brat, as it was his wife who forced him. He hadn’t been here long, yet he had already captured his wife’s heart completely.
It’s really annoying, making him very jealous.
Ji Lingkong had indeed heard about this; the Councilman’s wife treated him very well, full of maternal tenderness, reminding him of how Mommy took care of him.
The wife often sighed, saying he looked very similar to her late son, as if destiny had sent him specially to her side.
He had actually seen a photo of that son, and they didn’t really look alike, maybe a little, but clearly, the woman was projecting her feelings.
