Chapter 743: Chapter 743: Met an old acquaintance
Two family cars drove one after the other on the highway to east Philadelphia; the one at the front was a regular Ford hatchback, and the latter one was a slightly larger silver SUV.
If it weren’t for Ashe who was also going with them, the Will family would just need to drive one SUV, and Jacob and his younger siblings would not appear crowded in the s.p.a.cious back row.
However, the happiest person was Jacob’s eldest cousin, Niels. Although Jacob had a temporary driver’s license, he was not allowed to drive on the highway. Ashe could drive by herself, but at the insistence of Jacob’s eldest cousin, she had no choice but to sit on the front pa.s.senger seat.
Originally, it was a romantic couple’s world. Even Jacob who was sleeping in the back seat didn’t bother to interrupt them. But who would’ve thought that Jacob’s younger brother and sister had to get on the Ford and ruin all the eldest cousin’s mood?
Regarding Jacob’s application for the university, Seina showed the decisiveness she had as a working woman and acted very quickly. She immediately led the family to Philadelphia, seemingly fearing that Coach Gru would change his mind at any time. After all, with Jacob’s rugby ability, even if she was Jacob’s mother, she still felt that it was strange that Jacob would be selected.
Along the way, Chu Yunsheng was rus.h.i.+ng to store more black gas. Although there were two forces behind him now, he still couldn’t let his guard down.
He had just met these two people not long ago, and they were not very familiar with each other. Buterne was only loyal to her vows, and Ba Yi treated vampires as his enemy. After the vampire families were destroyed, Ba Yi’s force might instantly turn against him.
In addition, there were a lot of problems with those two people.
Although Buterne didn’t say it clearly, in her words, she couldn’t conceal her distrust of Ba Yi and her extreme unwillingness to cooperate with him. It was the same with Ba Yi as well.
If it weren’t for Chu Yunsheng’s deterrence, the first battle against the Murphy family would have been impossible.
Therefore, Chu Yunsheng did not want to rely too much on the two. At the critical moment, he still had to rely on himself.
The University of Pennsylvania was a private university and one of the eight Ivy League universities. It reminded Chu Yunsheng of Edgar Cao Zhengyi mentioned, but it was a pity that even until he was trapped on the pacific island, he still didn’t know which university Edgar graduated from.
…
The campus of the University of Pennsylvania looked very beautiful on a sunny day. There were some male and female students sitting leisurely on the lawn under the trees, with books on their laps and a cup of coffee next to them, letting the sunlight fall on their legs while listening to the distant bells. It was such a quiet and peaceful scene.
As soon as Ashe got out of the car, she hurriedly left with the excuse she had discussed with Chu Yunsheng and hid in the shadow of a tree while being accompanied by the eldest cousin of Jacob. In terms of the Will family, they visited various buildings and the history of the campus enthusiastically. The most important thing was naturally to visit the sports department and fill out some forms and the like.
Chu Yunsheng did not partic.i.p.ate in the activities of Jacob’s family and had been cultivating black gas in the zero-dimensional s.p.a.ce. But for the sake of safety, he still used the cube to connect to the eyes of Jacob, watching everything around him.
During the day, especially on sunny days, the chance of encountering vampires was very small, but he still couldn’t let his guard down. However, when the Jacob family pa.s.sed a business school building, Chu Yunsheng seemed to see a familiar shadow. It was like someone he had seen a long time ago.
He hurriedly contacted Jacob and asked Jacob to follow the person, but because too many people were walking out of the building, Jacob didn’t know who he should be following.
How could there be an old acquaintance here?
Chu Yunsheng thought to himself. Amongst his old acquaintances, almost all of them were from the Sixth Era. When he was in Jacob’s house, he also searched on the Internet and did not find anyone famous such as Cao Zhengyi or Lin Shuiyao. So, who was this person? Why did he have a familiar feeling?
Suspiciously, he lined up the old acquaintances in his memory, but he still couldn’t figure it out. He must have met with this person in the past. Probably the relations.h.i.+p between them wasn’t that close. It was also possible that he had only met with this person once or twice, but had a very deep impression of this person.
In the entire afternoon, while cultivating, Chu Yunsheng was always thinking about this problem and the various possibilities. In the evening, the Will family stayed in a slightly better hotel near the university. For Jacob’s application for university, Seina had really spent a lot of money this time.
In the magnificent lobby, Seina and Jerry went through the scheduled registration. Jacob led the tired siblings to sit on the sofa in the lounge. It was at this moment, the familiar shadow appeared again. What appeared at the same time were two men and one woman. Chu Yunsheng didn’t know them.
“Jacob, turn your head, go back to where you were just now. Yes yes, stop now. Do you see the woman in the brown professional dress? Blocked by the flower bed, walk over, walk around to the front, and get closer. “Chu Yunsheng quickly contacted Jacob. In his sight, the few people were talking as they walked to the elevator position in a hurry.
Jacob looked at them and asked uncertainly: “Are you talking about those Asians?”
“Yes, that’s them. After you go over, just find a way to get the name of the woman in the professional dress.” Jacob’s movement was too slow, so Chu Yunsheng could only see their backs.
Jacob was surprised: “Do you want me to strike up a conversation with a woman? Seina is over there. If she finds out, I will be dead.”
“Just ignore her. It’s urgent, the elevator is coming, hurry up!” Chu Yunsheng frowned and said. At this moment, an elevator was stopping on the second floor and was about to descend to the first floor.
Jacob gritted his teeth and said to his younger brother and sister that he was going to the toilet. He then dashed out. When he reached the elevator, the elevator door was already open. Several Asians were talking while walking in with their backs to him.
“What do we do?”
“Follow them!”
Chu Yunsheng wanted to find out who she was. This matter was very important.
Hearing this, Jacob stopped saying anything and shouted: “Wait!”
He held the edge of the elevator with his hand, followed them in.
He shouted so loudly that all the Asians turned around in surprise and looked at Jacob.
“Hi!” Jacob smiled awkwardly and fixed his eyes on the woman wearing the professional dress in the middle, so Chu Yunsheng could see her clearly in the zero-dimensional s.p.a.ce.
“Is it her?” Chu Yunsheng muttered to himself in surprise as he looked at the appearance of the woman seen by Jacob.
Those people looked at each other in confusion. After they confirmed with their eyes that none of them knew this young man, they politely nodded and then pressed the elevator b.u.t.ton.
“Hi! Are you Wen Luo?” Under the pressure of Chu Yunsheng, Jacob reluctantly said suddenly.
The sentence was asked in English, but the name Wen Luo was said in Chinese. Although the p.r.o.nunciation of the name was quite stiff, those Asians still understood what the young man said.
They looked at Jacob in surprise and finally turned to the woman in the middle curiously. One of the men in a suit said in surprise: “Do you know him?”
He was speaking Chinese, Jacob could not understand, but Chu Yunsheng could understand.
The woman in the middle also looked confused and said in English: “Do you know me?”
Chu Yunsheng no longer needed to answer this question in the zero-dimensional s.p.a.ce at this time. He finally knew who this person was. She used to be his superior for two days. For a while, he didn’t know if this was a coincidence, or there were some other reasons that he didn’t know? After all, as soon as he arrived on earth, he had searched on the internet and confirmed with Jacob about some important presidents he knew in the past, but none of them appeared in this era. So why would Wen Luo, a woman he knew in the past would appear in this era?
When Chu Yunsheng was about to contact the guardian, the elevator door opened. Then Chu Yunsheng saw that the confused expression on those Asians’ faces was instantly changed to shock.
Jacob immediately turned his head. What he saw next was a group of men in black suits standing outside the elevator door. There were around ten of them, and the moment they saw Jacob’s face, their originally cold and pale expressionless faces also showed a shocked and surprised expression!
The shocked and surprised expression didn’t last long on their faces.
In the next second, all of them suddenly drew out their guns…
Chu Yunsheng and the Murphy family did not expect that the first battle between them would suddenly break out in the parking lot under a busy hotel.
