Chapter 1357: Chapter 31 Genius Club_2

Unexpected.

The bearded driver nodded without hesitation:

"Of course I remember."

He scratched his bushy beard:

"That gentleman was so generous, he gave me a 100 US dollar tip! I wouldn’t even dare dream of such a ridiculous thing..."

"Otherwise, why do you think I’m waiting here every day at this hotel? I hope I can meet him again, or maybe... other generous gentlemen. Surely, anyone who stays at this hotel must be wealthy."

Very well, there’s hope.

Since the driver remembers that day well, it will be much easier.

Ji Xinshui expressed his intentions truthfully.

First, he wanted to thank Mr. Douglas, second, he was very worried about Mr. Douglas’s safety.

Upon hearing this, the bearded driver, also concerned for the kind man, told Ji Xinshui the address where he dropped him off:

"It’s a very remote farm in the western outskirts of Brooklyn. Just follow the road out of the city, and you’ll see it; it’s quite far, and there are no other buildings nearby, so you won’t get it wrong."

"Thank you!"

Young Ji Xinshui thanked him politely.

Then he tightened his shoelaces and ran towards the west.

He indeed had over a thousand US dollars, enough for a taxi.

But it was given to him by Mr. Douglas, so how could he bear to spend it? It must be used for something more meaningful, something more valuable.

So.

To that farm, let’s run!

...

The farm was truly far.

Ji Xinshui was out of breath, ran until evening, deep into the night, and finally reached the place at dawn.

His throat was burning.

But he couldn’t afford to rest and looked into the farm:

"Mr. Douglas!"

He shouted excitedly.

Because he saw a figure wrapped in a black coat, wearing a black hat, and sunglasses sitting by the fence watching the moon.

Those were Mr. Douglas’s clothes! Even the sunglasses were exactly the same! He couldn’t possibly mistake it!

"Mr. Douglas!"

Young Ji Xinshui smiled happily, a weight lifted from his heart, and rushed over excitedly.

But...

Getting closer, he realized that the similarly dressed figure was not Douglas but... an elderly man with white hair peeking from under the hat brim.

He tilted his head and took a closer look at the lower half of the face under the sunglasses.

Einstein!

This!

It was the famous scientist Einstein, renowned on TV, newspapers, and news!

Ji Xinshui froze:

"Mr., Mr. Einstein, why are you wearing Mr. Douglas’s clothes?"

Einstein slowly turned around.

Through the sunglasses, he looked at the young child:

"You know Douglas?"

He was curious.

Using the temporal line in his mind, he couldn’t see any connection between the child named Ji Xinshui and Douglas, as he could only see the future after November 5th.

Meaning...

This child’s association with Douglas happened before November 5th, a past he wasn’t aware of or able to know.

Einstein wanted to know all about Douglas and continued to ask:

"Child, can you tell me about your experiences with Douglas?"

For this great figure, Ji Xinshui let down his guard and disclosed everything:

"That night, the kind Mr. Douglas saved me..."

"..."

"..."

"He advised me to study hard, then return to China, bringing knowledge back to build a better homeland."

Einstein nodded, listening quietly.

"I see."

He murmured softly:

"Homeland... Is that how Douglas referred to China? That means, biologically he may be mixed, but he is truly a [Dragon Country person]."

"Clearly, he was very fond of China, and even hoped you could return after learning."

Seeing Einstein’s face full of reluctance and regret.

Ji Xinshui’s forehead broke out in cold sweat, sensing something ominous:

"Mr.... Mr. Einstein, can you tell me now... where is Mr. Douglas? He wouldn’t... he wouldn’t..."

Young Ji Xinshui held his lips tight, not daring to voice it.

"He is gone."

Einstein bowed his head:

"He has left this world..."

Boom!!!

Ji Xinshui felt as if struck by thunder, retreating a step, falling to the ground with a thud.

Left this world.

Dead.

Dead?

Mr. Douglas has passed away!?

"No."

His eyes welled with tears, his voice trembling:

"Will we never see Mr. Douglas again?"

How he wished the great Einstein would deny this answer, but...

The other party solemnly nodded, no longer speaking.

"No..."

Young Ji Xinshui covered his face, unable to accept the result.

He gritted his teeth.

Ran out from the farm.

Running and crying, calling Douglas’s name.

A half month ago, he was fine.

How can he suddenly be dead!

An accident?

Passed from illness?

Or other reasons?

He didn’t want to hear any more bad news.

This was the heaviest blow since his parents’ death.

Douglas was his savior, his life mentor, the elder brother who gave him hope and dreams.

"I haven’t made you proud yet..."

Young Ji Xinshui was exhausted from running, wiping his eyes with his sleeve, sorrow flooding his heart.

He looked around.

It was a small grove, quite scenic, away from the city.

He walked in, panting.

Used a branch to dig a soil pit, then buried the dozen hundred-dollar bills that Douglas gave him, not sparing a single cent, filling it with soil.

This was the only item Douglas left for him.

Buried now...

Let it be Douglas’s grave.
