"Chen Jie…Chen Jie…"

In his haziness, Tai Sheng felt someone shaking his shoulder and someone calling him. He opened his eyes groggily. In his blurry vision, he could only feel people moving. The calling was sometimes far and sometimes near, and he couldn't hear it clearly. It seemed like a dream.

" Chen Jie is awake, quick…" someone shouted in surprise.

" Chen Jie... Who is Chen Jie?..." When Tai Sheng heard someone calling this unfamiliar name in his ear again, he thought in a daze," But as soon as he thought about it, he felt a sharp pain in his head.

While she was half-asleep, she felt a cool sensation on her arm. A fair and tender hand with a halo appeared in his line of sight. In the hand was a needle-like object that was shining with a silver light! Tai Sheng subconsciously grabbed that hand and twisted it!

Suddenly, he heard a female scream. Tai Sheng thought. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his buttocks. He wanted to kick it with his feet, but his legs were pressed firmly by someone. A wave of sleepiness surged up, and he lost consciousness...

Before he fell asleep, he heard a conversation. The speaker seemed to be far away, but his voice was very loud. It was as if he was in an extremely empty place, and his voice echoed…

"Silly…Are you stupid because you don't have a woman? He's already burned to this extent, yet he's still holding onto your wrist!”

"Don't talk nonsense. He's just confused from the fever!……What did you give him?"

"Yo…do you like this handsome guy? Hehe…I'm not joking with you anymore…What else could it be? A tranquilizer…"

"Nonsense! His fever has reached 40 degrees and you still want to calm him down…Hurry…Hang him on an IV drip…Give him a fever shot…"

……

Tai Sheng's consciousness fell into darkness.

"Chen Jie, aren't you going to work today?”A neighbor who was pushing a handcart out asked.

"No!"

Tai Sheng sat on the half-broken door frame. He didn't even raise his head. He waved his hand randomly and once again faced the morning glow, assuming the posture of a Thinker and fell into deep thought.

It was already the third day since he woke up. According to the neighbors, it was the fifth day after he had been treated by volunteers. In the past three days, he had been eating a few packets of extremely cheap instant noodles every day and sitting at the door in a daze--if the thing behind him that was randomly pieced together with a few pieces of wood could be considered a door.

After a few days of thinking, he managed to figure out his situation. It was now May 25th, 2006. His name was Chen Jie. He was weak and hardworking. He worked as a small worker at a construction site near the shanty town. He lived in Beichen City's scar, the shanty town, and had lived there for three years. On the 20th, when he was shoveling sand, a steel pipe fell from the sky and pierced his foot. Fortunately, it was not a serious injury and only a piece of flesh was scraped off. Who knew that after returning to the shack, he had a high fever that night and was unconscious. His hometown was in Chen Jia Village, Houliu City, Chengyang Province, Beichen Province. He had a father and a younger sister at home. The younger sister was in her first year of high school and continued her studies with the money she sent back every month. However, her results seemed to be quite good. In Chen Jie's memory, or rather, in Chen Jie's memory, the younger sister could always get first place in the county's comprehensive examination. She also often submitted articles to some newspapers to earn some money to subsidize her family.

He understood all these things, but there was one thing he could not figure out. He was originally the world-famous Thousand-faced Thief. He had clearly fallen from the cliff. How could he have inexplicably arrived in 2006 and even ran into the body of a coward named Chen Jie? Wasn't this too funny? Was this considered a magpie occupying a dove's nest? What about the original Chen Jie?

Whenever he thought of this, he would become agitated and irritable, as if something was rolling in the depths of his mind. However, he did not think too deeply about it, but subconsciously thought of it as his longing for his master.

Also, Master did not contact him the next day. He would probably send someone to look for him! Now that the dragon head was not with him, the person who came to rescue him should have been found…

After thinking for a while, he felt that his brain was not enough. He cursed in his heart, F * ck! What was going on?

Rubbing his forehead, Tai Sheng made up his mind. Since he couldn't figure it out, then he should stop thinking about it! After a few days, when his body had recovered, he would return to the Five Element Sect and meet with his master. The old man was a learned man, and he should be able to clear his doubts!

After a few days, Tai Sheng felt that his body was almost fully recovered. In that case, Tai Sheng felt a little guilty! This was because not only was his body completely healed, but it was even better than his original body!

Ever since he woke up, he felt that his body was changing every day. It was like a balloon that was constantly being filled with air. It was getting bigger and stronger. His originally skinny body had actually grown a layer of solid muscles in just four to five days. Every time he lifted his leg or bent his arm, he felt endless strength!

He discovered the secret of this body and was overjoyed. His physical condition was much better than his original self! If he was given another two years to cultivate the secret technique of the Five Element Sect, he would be confident enough to challenge even his master, who had unfathomable strength, let alone Knight Commander Bang. He still remembered that he had wanted to spar with his master during his first mission, but he was slapped out of the sect by the old man!……It was a pity that he could not remember the Secret Skill of Five Element Sect no matter what. This made him extremely depressed, but it also strengthened his determination to return to the sect!

His physical condition was getting better and better, but his appetite was also getting bigger and bigger. This change made him depressed again! He had to eat at least five meals a day, with at least four dishes, ten steamed buns, two bowls of soup or half a pot of rice for each meal. Therefore, Chen Jie's meager savings had been eaten clean by him!

He had plenty of money in the Swiss bank, which was the result of selling the antiques he had brought along during his previous missions. It was about 400 to 500 million euros. If he didn't want to sell them as soon as possible and sell them at a low price on the black market, he would have at least doubled his net worth if he had sent them to Sotheby's for auction. Anyway, he was doing business without capital, and there were plenty of treasures in the Louvre and the British Museum! This was the amount from six years ago. He had been entrusting his savings to a friend who had entrusted him with his life and death. With that friend's financial talent, he should have doubled it by now! However, he didn't want to touch the money. He couldn't tell the exact reason. It might be because he didn't want to reveal his wealth!

Tai Sheng dug into his pocket and looked at the remaining 52.60 yuan before walking into a noodle shop in front of the shack area. Travel expenses? With his skills, did he need to worry? At the very least, they could return to Hidden Dragon Mountain by riding the train!

"Boss!" Tai Sheng shouted.

"Come!" The simple and honest boss walked over." It's so late again. What do you want to eat today?"”

"One catty of mutton, ten steamed buns, and two bowls of soup from your pot!”

"Alright! Old woman, cut a catty of mutton, ten steamed buns, and two bowls of soup for Chen Jie!”The boss turned around and shouted at the kitchen.

"You want soup again? Is it because the soup doesn't cost money? Next time, you'll be asking for money!" The lady boss shouted in the kitchen.

The boss smiled and scratched his bald head. He took out half a bottle of wine from under the counter and sat down beside Tai Sheng. He set up the wine cup and filled it up. Then, he raised the wine cup and gestured to Tai Sheng before drinking it in one gulp.

"Boss, are you drinking early in the morning?”Long years of life as a thief had made Tai Sheng accustomed to disguises and socializing. But for some reason, ever since he woke up in Chen Jie's body, he had a strong resistance to disguises. Perhaps the original owner of this body, Chen Jie, was not used to disguising himself and had unknowingly influenced him! Therefore, he forced a smile and said.

"At this time, the neighbors have all gone out to work. If we don't take the opportunity to drink a little now, we'll be busy at noon and have to wait until night! "What did the ancestor say? Fu Sheng stole half a day of leisure…" The boss downed another glass of wine as he spoke.

"Pa!"

The lady boss threw a plate of mutton and a bowl of soup on the table. She glared at Tai Sheng and pinched the boss 'ear."Old thing, you're drinking so early in the morning. Do you still want to do business? Aren't you afraid of drinking yourself to death…"

The boss hurriedly bowed and coaxed the lady boss away.

" Hehe..." The boss didn't feel embarrassed at all. He ignored Tai Sheng's obstruction and filled Tai Sheng's cup."Don't mind her. She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She may be sharp with her words, but she's kind on the inside!”After saying that, he looked at Tai Sheng for a while and said,"Chen Jie, you've changed!"

Tai Sheng was eating the mutton on the plate, recalling the boss's evaluation of the lady boss. She had just said that she wanted to charge Tai Sheng for the soup stock, but this mutton had to be paid at least two taels more! He was distracted for a while before he realized that the boss was talking about him! His heart skipped a beat. He quickly put on a smile and asked,"Boss, what did you say? I've changed? What changed?"

" Well..." The boss pondered for a while and said,""Ever since you recovered, you seem to have changed into a different person. In the past, when you met our neighbors, you would have to greet them. Now, you don't even bother with them. Also, your eyes…how should I put it? Oh right, a few days ago, when I went to the police station to pick up Er Zhuzi, I saw that your eyes were like the eyes of the police at that time. You looked at everyone like a thief…"

"What are you guys talking about?"

The Lady Boss brought over two large plates of raw steamed buns that were like two small mountains. She sat down opposite Tai Sheng, picked up the boss 'wine cup, and drank a cup. She asked,"What are you guys talking about?"
