Chapter 436: 430, New Field (First Update)_1

This time returning to America, Ren He didn’t let anyone see him off, including Yang Xi, who left early.

This was because Su Ruqin would be at Capital International Airport to send him off on the plane, and Yang Xi didn’t want to join the bustling scene.

Su Ruqin’s attitude is now one of indifference and non-involvement, saying, "You two can go ahead with your romance, but don’t expect to gain my approval." So Ren He simply chose to avoid bothering other people. It was pretty good just not to be stopped.

Besides, anything said to Su Ruqin now would be in vain. When the day finally came that he had conquered all the challenges he wanted to tackle, everything would naturally be alright. By then, all the difficulties would resolve themselves like cutting through butter.

It was said that after Yang Xi flew to New York, America, Ren He’s father-in-law, due to work reasons, would not be there to pick her up at the airport, which was a bit of a surprise to Ren He. The man was an ambassador, not some kind of spy.

Not fetching his own beloved daughter after her arrival in America, and several months had passed without seeing her, wasn’t he missing her at all?

Could it be that something else was going to happen? However, this had nothing to do with Ren He. He was just an ordinary person. If even Yang En and the officers from the General Staff’s Second and Third Departments couldn’t handle it, what made Ren He think he could?

Ren He flew to America, and the day after tomorrow was the official start of the school year at the Juilliard School of Music; he still had classes to teach. He formally replied to An Si and Liu Erbao when he left, promising a new life-or-death challenge within six months, and he had An Si repurchase the equipment.

Ren He paid for these pieces of equipment himself, and demanded the highest standards of safety, because the stuff he was planning to tackle this time was extraordinary, making the equipment requirements very high. The slightest mistake could indeed cost lives.

When An Si saw the list for equipment procurement this time, he was stunned!

He thought he had become tough enough after all the incidents, but still was shocked by the equipment they were planning to purchase: "Are you crazy? You dare to try this? I can guarantee that you have absolutely no training in this, aren’t you a little too cocky?"

"Don’t worry," Ren He said with a smile at the time, without further explanation: "Please continue to believe in me, believe in the Knight."

An Si was silent for a long time before saying reluctantly, "It’s up to you, honestly, I disagree. This is too dangerous, I’ve never even thought you would want to try this. I think I should enroll you in a training course first, and then you can just sign a confidentiality agreement with TK and others, it won’t affect your identity."

Ren He knew that An Si was concerned about his safety, but he had his own reasons: "Trust me."

These three words wouldn’t be convincing at all coming from someone else, but when they came from Ren He’s mouth, they seemed to possess a strange kind of magic, making one unable to resist believing in him, his strong self-confidence was utterly persuasive.

Not only because he was the Knight, but also because he had never let everyone down!

"Do what you want, I’ll suggest that TK get you a huge insurance policy," An Si said calmly.

"Haha, that works," Ren He laughed.

Liu Erbao, listening to their intense debate, came over and said, "Let me see, what kind of challenge are you preparing for that has you two arguing like this... Sss!"

Upon seeing the procurement list, Liu Erbao gasped and said to Ren He in shock, "Really? You’re going to try this?"

"Yes," Ren He replied.

"Holy shit, that’s awesome!" Liu Erbao was genuinely shocked once again, "You’re fierce! But I agree with An Si on this, it’s too dangerous. Please, don’t let anything happen to you."

Rarely, even Liu Erbao stepped in to stop him, but Ren He was in good spirits at that moment: "Don’t worry, as long as there’s no problem with the equipment, I won’t have any problems."

An Si said firmly, "I will have professionals personally inspect all equipment this time to ensure there are no issues. You can be assured of that."

Liu Erbao was already getting pumped up: "This time you have to make a big splash, if it’s anything less, it wouldn’t do justice to the risk you’re taking!"

However, Ren He didn’t feel much about it; that sort of thing was left to Liu Erbao to handle. For him, it was the challenge of life and death that was the essence; making a stir wasn’t his concern.

At this time, he also had Xu Nuo confirm whether the revelation of Qinghe’s mysterious owner’s identity had any impact in America, and it turned out there wasn’t any.

News is sometimes confined by national borders. For a Chinese celebrity to garner attention in countries outside of Southeast Asia takes persistent effort, just like how many local celebrities spend money to walk the red carpet in North America repeatedly throughout the year.

These celebrities are afraid they won’t break into international circles, while Ren He fears becoming the object of their attention.

Currently, there are only two people in China whose news would be immediately picked up and shared by international websites: Yang Xi and the Knight.

No matter the size of the news, as long as it featured them, it would certainly be relayed abroad. Even each of their Weibo interactions and comments would be screenshotted, posted as-is, with translations provided...

This is a privilege not enjoyed by any other Chinese celebrity, only Yang Xi and the Knight.

Such is the treatment of international A-list celebrities.

Some envy, others are jealous, many are jealous of Yang Xi’s luck at having such a boyfriend. They are well aware that without the Knight, Yang Xi might not even make the cut as an A-lister domestically.

Fame is something that needs to be bolstered by work. The Knight’s ability to write lyrics and compose music is undoubtedly phenomenal – no one else can boast of a track record where every song written becomes a hit, a miracle in itself.

But Ren He himself didn’t really care; it’s often the case that what you can’t have is what you’re afraid to lose. Those who have it don’t value it as much.

To so many people, the Knight was an icon, a figure of countless followers. If Ren He were to reveal his identity as the Knight now, the Juilliard School of Music would probably be jammed with people tomorrow. This level of attention was on a completely different scale from celebrities who walked red carpets without much notice.

Therefore, Ren He was indifferent to it. Others crave the fame he found burdensome.

As the plane took off, Ren He sat in the first-class seat, his calm exterior hiding the surging waves within. He was embarking on a new journey, with new domains to conquer.

...

Just as Ren He set off for America, TK’s official website homepage was updated again with a teaser "Stay tuned."

The website was being watched by countless people, the main source of information about the Knight. Just 5 minutes after the update, foreign media sites had already broadcast the news: The Knight begins a new challenge!
