I may look calm on the surface, but God knows how many swear words I have already uttered in my heart.
What is he trying to do? !
"Uh, is that Wen Jiubai?" Shi Yitong stared at the Ferrari stupidly, "Why doesn't it look like it to me? Isn't he... a guy in a long gown, like an ancient man? Why would he-"
I walked towards Wen Jiubai with big strides, and pulled him aside before he caught more people's attention.
"Wen Jiubai! What are you doing!" I asked angrily as soon as I came up.
"Well, long time no see, I miss you too." Wen Jiubai replied lazily.
My face burned, and I became even more angry, "Who told you this! Can you stop being so narcissistic!"
"Then whose face is blushing?" Wen Jiubai said playfully, and actually stretched out his hand to pinch my cheek.
I slapped his hand away, I was really angry, "Why are you joking at this time! Do you know what happened in school? You are dressed like this at this juncture, and you still come to school in a Ferrari. Others Maybe I thought you were Liang Kaifeng's father's business competitor!"
"Okay, okay, calm down." Wen Jiubai still smiled, "That Ferrari is not mine, it belongs to Liang Kaifeng's father."
"Liang Kaifeng's father..." I hesitated for a moment, "Wait, so, Liang Kaifeng's father sent you here?"
Wen Jiubai nodded, "That's right."
"But... why?"
"If you want to ask why, he is the client." Wen Jiubai said with a smile, "Although I didn't expect you to be like a child who lost his temper and would not come to me when such a big thing happened, but even if you don't come If you look for me, someone will always entrust me."
"Who is the child who lost his temper!" I said angrily, and then frowned again, "But, you mean that Liang Kaifeng's father entrusted you to investigate this matter?"
Wen Jiubai nodded, "That's right, it seems that his father spent a lot of money to save his son's life. Needless to say, the entrustment money, and the suit I'm wearing now is also what he insisted on giving to me." Mine, let me save his son's life no matter what."
I couldn't help casting envious and jealous eyes at Wen Jiubai, and muttered, "That's great, I want such a client too."
"Gu Yu, this may not be a good thing."
I looked at Wen Jiubai, and found that the latter was looking at me calmly.
"'Save my son's life no matter what', he gave me such a benefit because he asked me for it. Then just imagine, if I didn't complete the commission, how would he treat me?"
I opened my mouth, but was speechless for a while. Indeed, Liang Kaifeng's father definitely placed his final bet on Wen Jiubai. If Wen Jiubai failed, the consequences would be disastrous.
But... Wen Jiubai failed? I realized that I had never even thought about this possibility. Wen Jiubai really gave people the feeling of being invincible, as if he had never failed in any commission he took on.
"Yes." Wen Jiubai said suddenly.
"What?" I came back to my senses.
"I know what you're thinking. I do fail sometimes." Wen Jiubai looked at me, his eyes were as clear as water.
"Really?" I was dubious.
"Because in many cases, you can't change what is destined to happen, and you can't reverse the laws of nature. Many commissions are nothing more than the personal wishes of the client. To put it bluntly, it is just human selfishness. It is impossible for me to change the universe for my own selfish desires. According to the law." Wen Jiubai said.
My heart sank, "Is this the case of Liang Kaifeng's death? No, did he die before this?"
"Gu Yu, let me ask you, what is the definition of 'death'?" Wen Jiubai looked at me.
Here we go again... This guy always asks me some weird questions, and now when I hear him call me "Gu Yu", my scalp tingles.
"Well, death is death." I really didn't know how to answer, "Everyone dies, and death is... an omnipresent thing that accompanies us."
"That's right, but everyone is afraid of death, but everyone doesn't know what death is." Wen Jiubai smiled slightly, "Let me ask it another way. When you see a person, under what circumstances, Do you think this person is dead?"
The scene of seeing Liang Kaifeng hanging on the electric fan in the classroom today immediately appeared in my mind, "Uh... this, it should be, the breathing stops, the heartbeat stops, the blood stops flowing, and then the internal organs stop working, etc."
Wen Jiubai nodded approvingly, and asked, "However, what if it is a creature without breath, heart and internal organs? Have you ever thought about this problem?"
"Ah?" I didn't respond, "Is it a single-celled organism like Paramecium?"
"That's right."
"Of course it's cell death. The cell is no longer functioning, which means the creature is dead." I said without thinking.
"That's not wrong." Wen Jiubai stroked his chin and thought, "However, there are cells in the human body. When a person's breathing stops and the heart stops beating, there are still many cells alive in the body, still desperately trying to save their lives." How do you explain that hair and nails, for example, continue to grow long after the heart stops?"
"Wh-no, this is different!" I was dumbfounded by Wen Jiubai's theory, I wanted to refute him but couldn't find anything, and at this moment he interrupted me again.
"There is also a single-celled organism, I don't know if you have heard of it." Wen Jiubai continued, "Amoebae, it reproduces by dividing. One amoeba can split into two identical amoebas." Ba worms, they are exactly the same from appearance to internal structure and DNA. In other words, even if the original worm is dead, as long as the split worm is still alive, it will exist forever. Then the question Come on, did this single-celled worm die? Or, after experiencing death, it was reborn again?"
I retorted Wen Jiubai without thinking: "What you said is too ridiculous, how can you compare humans with amoebas? That thing is just a single-celled organism..."
"That's right, a single-celled organism, but it will always have the ability that human emperors of all ages have dreamed of, and that is immortality." Wen Jiubai said calmly, "By copying yourself, you can perfectly escape death, isn't it?"
I opened my mouth, but was speechless.
"So, what was the question you asked me just now? Is Liang Kaifeng dead?" Wen Jiubai showed a sly look, "Yes, how to define the word 'death' is a huge problem."
