Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 29 Taking Medicine on Time (3rd Update, Please Read On)

"Are you Zhou Yu?"

When Jiang Yang asked the question, he deliberately raised his voice. The steamed bun shop, which had been filled with the buzz of conversation, fell silent for a moment as countless eyes turned towards them.

Zhou Yu looked up in surprise, staring at Jiang Yang with a puzzled expression: "Who are you?"

Jiang Yang was filled with excitement, as if he had finally found a relative, and asked in a trembling voice, "You are Li Ya's good friend?"

"Uh, yes, you..."

"You two were sleeping together just a few days ago, weren't you?"

Jiang Yang didn't answer Zhou Yu at all, asking one question after another, giving her no time to think.

"How did you know? You are..."

Jiang Yang's voice rose again: "Zhou Yu, I beg you, please stop trying to steal my girlfriend, okay?"

The noise in the steamed bun shop, which had already been suppressed by Jiang Yang, completely disappeared after he said that.

I wonder how many people's eyes gleamed with excitement and gossip.

A man begging a woman not to steal his girlfriend? This...

This is going to be interesting!
Zhou Yu was so shocked that her eyes and mouth gaped open.

Jiang Yang continued passionately: "Li Ya is a woman, and you are a woman too. Women can't be happy together!"
We're engaged, and I'll make her happy. Please, please don't be a third party, please don't break us up, okay? She's ignoring me now, sob, I really love her so much!

Zhou Yu's mind seemed to freeze, and she even started to stutter: "No, I didn't, I, I didn't, I..."

"You just said you slept with her a few days ago!"

"me……"

Seeing Zhou Yu speechless with astonishment, and glancing out of the corner of his eye at at least dozens of people in the steamed bun shop—including waiters, customers, and even chefs peeking out from the kitchen—all watching with excited gossip, Jiang Yang silently thought, "I'm sorry, Zhou Yu, you're the one who made me do this, don't blame me..."

At this moment, Jiang Yang could clearly see Zhou Yu's face turning red and white in turns, as if she were dying of shame and indignation.

But unexpectedly, for some reason, Zhou Yu in front of him seemed to calm down quickly.

She slammed her hand on the table with a loud thud, then stood up and stared directly at Jiang Yang: "Don't you know why I'm trying to take Li Ya? If you hadn't seduced other men, would I have been competing with you for her?"
If you like men, go find men. Don't hold Li Ya back! Li Ya will only be unhappy if she stays with you!

hiss--

A low collective gasp rippled through the steamed bun shop.

I thought the previous episode was already explosive enough, but there was something even more explosive?

So this guy is actually that kind of person, and he still wants to cling to his girlfriend?

Marriage fraud?

Countless gazes instantly shifted from Zhou Yu to Jiang Yang, filled with undisguised contempt.

With a loud bang, Jiang Yang felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his head.

He was speechless, staring blankly at Zhou Yu: "You, you..."

"What do you mean, 'me'! Only someone like you, who would deceive others into marriage, would think of everyone else as you do!"
Li Ya and I are good friends. I can't watch her fall into your trap! You still have the nerve to come begging me? Let me tell you, if you know what's good for you, stay away from Li Ya, or don't blame me for being ruthless!

At this moment, Jiang Yang had only one thought in his mind.

Damn it, I've been tricked!

They were tricked by Zhou Yu from the previous cycle and Zhou Yu from this life!

She definitely knew how she would react, but deliberately told me she was going to do a sociology experiment, deceiving me to play a prank on her!

I thought she would be the one to die, but I never expected that I would be the one to die in the end.

This is clearly a trap he set for himself!
Jiang Yang clearly felt that Zhou Yu from his previous life seemed to have the ability to travel through time and space, standing ten days later, piercing through time and space to give his past self a hard slap.

The chatter in the steamed bun shop could no longer be suppressed, with words like "How disgusting!" and "Shameless!" drifting over, making Jiang Yang feel utterly ashamed and wanting to disappear into a hole. Zhou Yu, standing before him, raised her head high, staring at him defiantly.

A round-faced, chubby man with a thick beard, glasses, and white socks walked over somewhat shyly and nudged Jiang Yang: "Handsome, want to add a green bubble?"

Jiang Yang shuddered and hurriedly dodged the bearded man, yelling, "Get lost!"

"Seriously, if you don't like it, you shouldn't insult people. It's annoying."

The bearded man muttered as he left.

Jiang Yang turned to look at Zhou Yu again.

Zhou Yu said with a hint of disdain, "What's wrong?"

The faint sounds of helicopters roaring and a large group of guards running in unison could be heard outside.

Jiang Yang's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly calmed down and a smile appeared on his face.

Several fully armed guards pushed open the door and walked in, and the once noisy breakfast shop immediately became as quiet as a pin drop.

All eyes were on the guards.

Please remain seated and do not move around. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Seeing the leading guard look around and walk towards him, Jiang Yang raised his hand first, signaling the guard to stop, and then said, "No need to rush, I have found the patient who escaped from our mental hospital, it's her."

The guard was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Zhou Yu was stunned again, looking at Jiang Yang in disbelief.

Jiang Yang smiled and said, "You can't escape this time, can you? Be a good girl and come back with me. Remember to take your medicine on time and don't run around."

He turned to the guards: "Let's go."

The guards were clearly puzzled. However, their mission was to take the target away and, in the process, follow the target's orders.

At this moment, he couldn't quite understand what the target was saying.

Perhaps it's the secret that the higher-ups were talking about?

Why worry about all that? I just need to carry out my mission. Since the target is willing to leave with us and has given orders to take this woman with them…

That means obeying orders.

The lead guard waved his hand, and two other guards came up to Zhou Yu and snapped to attention, saluting: "Please cooperate."

"Hey, I don't know him! I'm not mentally ill! I'm not going with you! Who are you? Help! Help!"

Zhou Yu frantically cried out for help to the people around him. But they just looked at each other, no one spoke up, let alone stepped forward to stop him.

"You said so much to me before, and now you're saying you don't know me? Do you think everyone's a fool?"

"Come with me obediently."

Jiang Yang smiled and cupped his hands in apology to everyone, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for causing you all trouble."

The group left quickly, leaving only a group of customers in the steamed bun shop discussing the matter.

"So it turns out it was a mental patient who escaped."

"I've never seen guards deployed to arrest a mentally ill person before. And those guns, wow."

"It's such a pity that such a pretty girl is mentally ill."
