Rebirth: Exclusive Love in the End of the World-Chapter 23 - Forcibly Seizing the Ring

“Little minx, aren’t you satisfied yet? People like President Long don’t go for used goods like you!”

Unaware of everything happening behind her, Han Jiaojiao carefully approached Du Wenbo, observing him from not too far away.

Du Wenbo was arguing about something with a few people.

“Aliens? Pfft! Is that meteorite an attack from aliens on Earth or what? Hahaha!”

“Hey, when have UFO news ever been credible, yet turn out to be fake in the end?”

“Du Wenbo, have you had too much to drink perhaps? Hey, this booze isn’t even strong, hahaha…”

Blushing with frustration from their back and forth, Du Wenbo retorted fiercely, “The spaceship was trapped in a meteorite cluster and brought down together! Why would I lie to you?! The spaceship debris and the alien are both at the research institute! That alien is dead as dead can be! Who knows how many light-years it floated through space!”

One of them patted his shoulder with a look of helplessness, “Du Wenbo, it’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just… ah, forget it, if you can produce evidence, we’ll believe you, okay?”

With those words, the scene immediately became lively, with others egging him on—

“Right, I’ve never seen an alien my whole life; go take a few photos from the research institute to show us.”

“That’s a good idea; Du Wenbo’s father is the director of the research institute, so getting inside for him is child’s play!”

“Go ahead, Du Wenbo, let us see what an alien looks like.”

Du Wenbo hesitated.

“Wenbo, you’re not just pulling our legs, are you? We didn’t ask you to bring any top-secret documents out, just snap a few photos for us to see and then delete them immediately—would that even be a problem?”

Another person exclaimed, “I told you it was fake! Everything’s a mess right now; how could the government still care about researching aliens? Stop kidding!”

Unable to endure the provocation, Du Wenbo suddenly slammed the table dramatically, “Fine! Just wait here!”

Someone whistled, and Du Wenbo, with eyes red, charged out.

After Du Wenbo had left, Han Jiaojiao quickly followed suit and left the hotel. She wasn’t planning to follow Du Wenbo to the research institute but instead waited carefully along the mandatory path he would take upon his return.

Tall buildings surrounded the hotel, and on the outer perimeter, there was a pedestrian street where cars were not permitted. Han Jiaojiao prepared to act on this pedestrian street. Fortunately, due to outbreaks and scarcity of goods, the pedestrian street had become quite desolate, with hardly any shops lit up, conditions that afforded Han Jiaojiao significant convenience.

In her previous life, Du Wenbo was similarly provoked into visiting the research institute.

Initially, he wanted to take a few photos of the alien, but the security level on the floor where the alien was located was very high; all external electronic devices were prohibited, thus Du Wenbo had to leave his mobile phone at the security checkpoint. After entering, he smoothly opened the sealed chamber, thinking that even pulling a hair from an alien wouldn’t be a wasted trip, yet the alien was completely hairless. He just happened to see a ring-like object on the alien’s finger and stealthily took it out. Du Wenbo was lucky, as typically even late at night, there were always staff on duty in the lab. However, that day, due to the arrival of the first Alien Species and its ensuing emergency meeting after being killed, Du Wenbo found his opportunity.

He didn’t realize the massive power of the object he had taken out; in fact, even the institute hadn’t had time to study the ring, and Du Wenbo naively thought it was merely a decorative item. He compared it to how ancient people liked to tie tassels on fans without any practical use, mostly just as a symbol.

This feat wasn’t exactly honorable, and Du Wenbo was understandably nervous but also excited. The night had fallen; there weren’t many cars on the road. He shuttled through several red lights and finally stopped at the edge of the pedestrian street.

Han Jiaojiao watched the rushing figure ahead quietly and followed him quickly, swinging a sudden karate chop toward the back of his neck!—

Unexpectedly, Du Wenbo, this spoiled rich kid, was actually trained! He agilely dodged the karate chop and grabbed Han Jiaojiao’s arm in return, suddenly applying force preparing to throw her over his shoulder! Han Jiaojiao was momentarily panicked as she did not know that Du Wenbo knew martial arts. However, she soon calmed down upon realizing that Du Wenbo’s grip was weak, obviously just a show of skill without real power.

Going with the flow, Han Jiaojiao locked Du Wenbo’s neck and performed a flip, taking advantage of his unbalanced posture, she kicked hard at his knee! Du Wenbo stumbled and fell face down in the dirt; he didn’t even get a clear look at Han Jiaojiao’s face before he was pinned down, and then everything went dark as he lost consciousness…

Han Jiaojiao found the ring in the pocket of Du Wenbo’s clothes.

Pure white in color, delicate and slender, this humble little ring was neither as hard as metal nor as soft as gel; it had a very peculiar feel, somewhat akin to ivory products but seemed tougher than that.

Han Jiaojiao’s heart pounded violently. She just thought that this magical ring would now belong to her brother, and her blood could not help but boil with excitement; she felt like shouting for joy!

Looking at Du Wenbo, who was unconscious at her feet, Han Jiaojiao smiled slightly. She thought, in this way, she was also helping Du Wenbo, right? Initially, Du Wenbo had given the ring to his goddess Qin Nanyi in his heart, but after learning that Qin Nanyi was living a life above others because of this ring, he went to find her with resentment, only to be humiliated and driven out of the inner city. The base was divided into inner and outer cities, with important figures residing in the inner city, like Qin Nanyi. Because of her directions, Du Wenbo could not enter the inner city and had to struggle for survival in the outer city.

Now without the ring, Qin Nanyi would naturally not be as influential as she had been in the previous life and would no longer target Du Wenbo.

Suddenly feeling dizzy with a faint pain, Han Jiaojiao furrowed her brows. Soon, a rushed voice resonated in her mind—

“Why aren’t you at home?!”

A relentless joy seized Han Jiaojiao’s heart! It was her brother! Her brother had come back!

“Find a safe place and stay put! I’ll be there soon!” Han Yi ordered in her mind.

Han Jiaojiao stood up, straightened her hair, and checked her dress and high heels, all intact. Relieved, she acted as if nothing had happened and slowly returned to the hotel.
