Chapter 1250: Cousin, You Must Stand Up for Me!

"Truly... enemies often cross paths," Pu Shu sneered.

"If it were before, I would have stayed as far away from him as possible, but now with Sixth Uncle backing us, our status in the Pu family is not what it used to be... Now that he has delivered himself to our doorstep, I must avenge this grudge."

The servant hesitated. "But Han Meng is now a guest of the Pu family... Will Sixth Uncle help us?"

"He owes it to my father! He owes it to everyone in our branch! If he doesn't help, I’ll spill everything he did back then!"

Pu Shu’s eyes flashed with a sharp glint.

He seemed to think of something. "By the way... is Cousin coming back soon?"

"Young Master Jianyue is on today’s train. Calculating the time, he should be arriving soon..."

"Get my clothes."

"Young Master, are you going to..."

"Naturally, I’m going to welcome Cousin personally," Pu Shu’s mouth curled slightly. "Cousin has doted on me since I was a child, and Sixth Uncle is tied to the same boat as us. The two of them, father and son, are our most important helpers."

"Understood, I’ll go prepare the car for you right away!"

……

*Buzz, buzz, buzz—*

The roaring whistle sounded at the edge of the domain, and the train, engraved with spells, passed through the open steel gates and slowly drove along the tracks toward the Central Station.

In the train’s restroom, a young man in a gray vest turned on the faucet and calmly rinsed his rimless glasses under the rushing water... Only after confirming the lenses were spotless did he dry them and put them back on the bridge of his nose.

He carefully examined himself in the mirror, tidied his attire meticulously, and then took a deep breath, a smile curling on his lips.

This training trip had gone quite smoothly. Although he had used some methods he shouldn't have, if all went well, he would be recognized by his elders upon returning to the Pu family and be given some of the family’s industries to manage.

He had waited for this day for too long, so his image when meeting the elders had to be steady, giving the impression that he was already capable of handling things on his own... Now, this was perfect.

*Knock, knock, knock—*

Just as the young man was about to push the door open and leave, a knock came from outside.

The restrooms on the train were all very small, only accommodating one person, and there was clearly an "Occupied" sign hanging outside. Why was someone so tactless knocking?

The young man frowned. Just as he intended to open the door and go out, an invisible python suddenly drilled in through the crack of the door and bit his head hard!

The young man froze on the spot.

*Click.*

The next moment, the locked restroom door was opened directly from the outside.

A figure in a brown coat walked calmly into the narrow restroom and locked the door behind him. He pulled his hand out of his pocket, and a complex-looking revolver was already in his hand...

The young man, whose memory had been bitten away, had a blank mind. He looked at the stranger in front of him in a daze.

"Who are you? This is..."

"Are you Pu Jianyue?"

"...Yes."

"Very good."

Chen Ling pulled a bullet from his own forehead and stuffed it directly into the revolver’s cylinder. With a sharp flick, it spun with a *click-clack*, and he slowly aimed the muzzle at the young man’s forehead...

"From now on, you are Heart of Hearts 6."

*Bang—!*

The bullet carrying part of Chen Ling’s memories shot into the young man’s forehead, and in that instant, part of the young man’s memories also flooded into Chen Ling’s mind...

【Yesterday’s Revolver】, Memory Exchange.

The moment Chen Ling’s memories entered the young man’s mind, the latter’s vision went black, he lost consciousness directly, and fell backward stiffly.

Chen Ling snapped his fingers casually, and the young man’s attire was directly reshaped into a bright red opera robe. At the same time, a large hole opened in the wall, and the howling wind from outside rolled into the restroom, making a low, wailing sound.

Looking at the unconscious young man, Chen Ling unhurriedly used a bone-carving knife to cut a few bloody marks on his face, and then stuffed a playing card into his pocket...

【Heart of Hearts 6】.

"I look forward to your performance... Heart of Hearts 6," Chen Ling smiled slightly.

The next second, he pushed the unconscious young man directly off the train.

The figure in the bright red opera robe flew backward like a sandbag, fell to the ground due to the train’s inertia, rolled clumsily, and as the train roared past, the figure gradually disappeared at the end of the earth...

Chen Ling stood there, watching everything happen quietly.

"Sir, sir!"

"Are you okay?"

Seeming to hear the wailing wind from the restroom, the attendant knocked on the door to ask.

Two seconds later,

The restroom door was opened gently.

Inside the clean and tidy restroom, a figure in a gray vest and rimless glasses was standing there, wiping his hands. He saw the attendant outside the door and a gentle smile appeared on his lips:

"Sorry, the flushing sound was a bit loud just now."

The attendant glanced inside; both the floor and the walls were intact, and the sound of the wind just now seemed to be her imagination... She felt sorry for her abruptness and said embarrassedly:

"Sir, we are about to arrive at the station. Please take your luggage and prepare to get off."

"Okay, thank you."

Chen Ling walked straight into the carriage.

At the same time, he was quickly digesting the extra memories in his mind that didn't belong to him.

Pu Jianyue, a direct member of the Pu family in the South Sea Domain, the son of the current Family Head’s sixth younger brother. He had been pampered since childhood, had a gloomy personality, but his heart was full of desire for power. He had returned from this training trip, and if all went well, he would soon be rewarded and given his own industry to manage.

The memories Chen Ling exchanged with him were only fragments, so he hadn't forgotten his purpose this time, nor had he forgotten who he was... But the real Pu Jianyue, whom he had thrown off the train, was another story.

His other memories were all in the belly of the 【Heart Python】.

The train gradually entered the station. The passengers in the carriage had basically taken their luggage and were waiting at the door. Chen Ling took the only remaining black suitcase from the rack and waited patiently at the end of the line.

The train stopped, the doors opened, and the crowd got off one after another.

Normally, with Pu Jianyue’s status, there would be someone to meet him upon returning to the South Sea Domain, so the first thing to do upon getting off was to look around... As expected, the moment he got off, many figures walked toward him.

Among them was a figure Chen Ling found familiar no matter how he looked at it...

"Cousin!!!"

Pu Shu walked up and hugged Chen Ling tightly, as if grabbing the last straw, enthusiastic as if they were real brothers, leaving Chen Ling unable to react for a moment.

At the same time, Pu Shu shouted with a trace of unwillingness and grievance:

"Cousin... Cousin, you must stand up for me!!!"
