Global Apocalypse: The True Young Master Awakens and Tames the Villain

Just as Liu Jin’an had guessed, there was a secret cabin hidden deep at the bottom of the main cabin, and two coffins were parked in the secret.

He guessed that this was the resting place of Wang Gui and Wang Yunshan.

Wang Yunmei waved her hand lightly, and the damaged hole instantly returned to its original state, blocking Hu Jianye’s worried gaze.

She explained warmly, “Once the test starts, if it is interrupted due to external interference, it will be regarded as a failure.”

Liu Jin’an nodded slightly and looked around. Unlike the outside, the dark cabin had clearly been cleaned carefully every day. Not only was there no smell of decay or dampness, but he could even smell the fragrance of flowers.

Following the scent, he found a stone platform next to the coffin on the right side, with fresh bouquets of flowers placed on it.

Wang Yunmei said a little embarrassedly, “My little sister likes flowers. I went to the shore during the day to pick some small flowers and brought them back.”

“You are still so good,” Liu Jin’an felt mixed emotions.

He envied their close sisterhood.

He also sympathized with their plight.

After gathering his complicated emotions, Liu Jin’an looked at Xiao Duan, who had come in with him. “Why did you come in too? Do you also want to accept the test?”

Duan Haiping said matter-of-factly, “I am your summon, so of course I should protect my master at all times.”

Liu Jin’an glanced at him suspiciously, wondering why he had become so obedient suddenly.

Without any time to think about it, under Wang Yunmei’s guidance, he started the test.

.

When he opened his eyes again, Liu Jin’an found that he was sitting in a moving car, with a little boy of about five years old next to him.

The boy’s father seemed to be driving, and the boy’s mother was sitting in the passenger seat. The two were talking and laughing, turning their heads from time to time to tease him.

“An’an, don’t be afraid. We didn’t adopt you to bring pressure on you.”

The woman coaxed softly, “Don’t listen to your uncle Duan’s nonsense. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to change your surname. Our family doesn’t have that many rules. As long as you’re happy.”

Adoption?

Liu Jin’an was stunned and quickly looked at the central rearview mirror.

The person in the mirror looked no more than ten years old, and he almost didn’t recognize himself with his immature face. In other words, he was back when he was a child?

He intended to get more information. “Auntie, can you tell me about our family’s situation?”

The woman smiled softly and spoke gently.

It turned out that the woman’s name was Wen Cailing, the man’s name was Duan Hongyi, and the five-year-old boy was Duan Haiping.

He realized that this might be his test.

[Duan Haiping had been involved in a car accident when he was five years old. Both his parents had died, and he himself had become disabled in both legs.]

[He had later been raised by his second uncle. The second uncle of the Duan family had a gangster background and helped developing Duan Haiping’s ruthless character.]

The two simple sentences in the original work described the twenty years when Duan Haiping had been neglected and disliked, from childhood to adulthood.

Turning his head, Liu Jin’an’s eyes fell on the little boy, who was sleeping soundly.

If he hadn’t known that he was Duan Haiping, just looking at his chubby little face and pouty mouth, he would never have connected him to the sinister and gloomy villain boss in the future.

If he could stop this…

He could stop this.

“The road ahead is congested, and it is expected to take two hours to evacuate,” the navigation voice broadcast.

Duan Hongyi clicked his tongue. “There’s another traffic jam. It’s going to rain soon. Why don’t we change the way back?”

Wen Cailing didn’t want to waste time waiting. “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

“Wait a minute,” Liu Jin’an suddenly stopped them, “Let’s wait for the traffic police to evacuate. Please give them more time to prepare.”

Although the novel did not clearly state whether the car accident had been man-made or accidental, Liu Jin’an had reason to suspect that the person who had benefited the most was also the most suspicious.

Although this road was congested, there were many people and the presence of traffic police was better than safety.

Hearing what Liu Jin’an said, the Duan family naturally agreed to his request.

After that, the road was cleared, and they arrived at the Duan family villa safely.

Duan Hongyi held the sleepy little Duan Haiping, and Wen Cailing held little Liu Jin’an’s hand as they came to a warmly decorated, clean, and tidy room.

“An’an, this will be your home from now on. If you need anything, you can tell us.”

“Pingping, you will have a brother in the future. Are you happy?”

‘Pingping (peace), what a good meaning. I hope that our family will be in peace, and everything will go well in the future.’

Home.

Liu Jin’an looked at the exquisite hut in front of him. Was this his home?

It was so beautiful.

There were no messy clutter and stains, no grit and dust everywhere. The floor was shiny, and the desk was brand new and tidy.

He didn’t need to use other people’s leftover stationery or pick up unwanted clothes.

This was his room alone, not a doghouse where mosquitoes, rats, and ants gathered.

“Thank you, I love it,” he heard himself say.

Time flew by.

Liu Jin’an was eighteen years old and had been admitted to a well-known domestic university.

Before leaving, the 13-year-old Duan Haiping held his arm tightly and cried, not wanting him to go.

“Be obedient, brother is going to school and will come back to see Pingping during the holidays,” he stroked the boy’s hair gently.

Over the years, the little boy who had only been half his height had grown to be as tall as his shoulders.

Duan Haiping said with tears in his eyes, “Brother, you must come back early. I will wait for you at home, woo woo…”

“Okay, brother will promise you. I will definitely come back to accompany you as soon as possible.”

Relying on the wealth of the Duan Group and Liu Jin’an’s own abilities, he had already started his own small company during college and made a lot of profits.

His life had been smooth sailing, and even Duan Haiping, whom he cared about most, had gradually grown up under the care of him and his parents.

Such a wonderful life.

By the way, should he change his name sometime?

It seemed that the memories before the age of ten were getting blurry, but they weren’t that important anyway.

If he forgot, he would forget.

After graduation, Liu Jin’an returned to the Duan Group, helping Uncle Duan manage the company’s affairs while tutoring Duan Haiping in his studies.

Seventeen-year-old Duan Haiping was already taller than him. At 1.88 meters tall and with a handsome face, he was the centre of attention wherever he went.

But this guy just liked to stay by Liu Jin’an’s side, with his big head nestled in the crook of his neck, as clingy as a big dog.

One day, Liu Jin’an received a complaint from the head teacher.

That night, he grabbed the boy’s ear and said, “Your head teacher told me, why did you skip class in the afternoon? Also, when did you learn to smoke? Why didn’t I know?”

Duan Haiping was caught and kept his head down without saying a word.

“My parents gave you to me so that I can supervise your studies.”

“You will be in your senior year of high school soon. If you still don’t study hard like before, you will never see me again,” Liu Jin’an said coldly.

“I will study hard, brother, don’t ignore me,” Duan Haiping swore to the sky.

Liu Jin’an sneered twice, “Then tell me, why did you skip class? Internet cafe? Bar? Or did you go to some messy place?”

Duan Haiping’s bright starry eyes stared at Liu Jin’an, and his ears slowly turned crimson.

He took out a delicately packaged small box from his pocket and opened it.

Laying quietly inside was a gemstone cufflink.

“Brother, you promised me that our special birthday would be on the day we met.”

From the age of ten to twenty-two, for twelve years, their encounter had begun with an adoption.

Twelve years ago today, Liu Jin’an had entered Duan Haiping’s world for the first time.

From then on, Duan Haiping could no longer see anyone else in his eyes.

“A gift for you, brother. Do you like it?”
