The small street of Renjia Road is the staff dormitory area of Jianghan Iron and Steel Plant, and most of the people living in it are front-line steelworkers, so the folk customs of this place have always been relatively strong.

After this Grandma Zhou yelled a few times with an iron fork in her hand, Li Guangzhi, who was still a little unclear-headed, was quickly surrounded by a group of five big and three thick men. Then, they escorted him to the police station as a thief.

After arriving at the police station, with his passport and ticket stub, he quickly explained his identity. After checking Li Guangzhi's passport, the deputy director on duty who was in charge of handling this matter immediately became very polite towards him, and even deliberately flattered him.

It is normal for the attitude of the deputy director to change. In China in this era, the identity of overseas Chinese is still very valued by local governments at all levels. Not to mention that today's incident was originally Li Guangzhi's reason, and the grievances he suffered were not small.

If Li Guangzhi wants to make a big deal out of anger or revenge. When the higher-level leaders come forward to solve the problem, the deputy director, as the person directly responsible for the incident, will be used as a scapegoat to calm the anger of overseas Chinese compatriots.

However, Li Guangzhi naturally does not have the kind of mind to use the identity of a fake foreign devil to slap his face. He just politely proposed to the deputy director, hoping to find the whereabouts of the two people in the household registration file of the police station.

For such a reasonable overseas Chinese compatriot Li Guangzhi, the deputy director surnamed Niu was not only happy in his heart, but also very grateful. So. Under the order of the deputy director, he naturally received the full cooperation of the entire police station.

With the help of two household registration policemen, Li Guangzhi spent an afternoon reviewing all the household registration materials in the archives. By the end of the afternoon, they had found more than 30 women named Zhao Xiumei and seven or eight men named Li Guangzhi from all the files. However, after the final check, none of these people were the target that Li Guangzhi was looking for.

Although this result made him very surprised and unwilling to accept it, it can actually be said to be his expectation.

Before, on the small street of Renjia Road, when he found that the home in his memory suddenly changed owners. And Grandma Zhou, who was supposed to be familiar with her mother. But I don't remember the existence of my mother at all. These two things have already made Li Guangzhi feel strange at the same time, but also have an ominous premonition.

The results of the inquiry of household registration information in the police station only further confirmed his ominous premonition.

own mother. And why did my childhood self completely disappear in this world? For this issue. Li Guangzhi, who returned to the hotel, meditated all night. Unable to find a logical answer, he vaguely came to a conclusion that he didn't want to believe at all.

In the following days, Li Guangzhi still had a glimmer of hope. He also found the Jianghan Iron and Steel Plant, where his father once worked, hoping to find some clues from his father, who died in the line of duty many years ago.

Relying on his overseas Chinese status and the US dollar to open the way, he did not have much effort to check the personnel information of all the employees of the Jianghan Iron and Steel Plant. However, what made him even more desperate was that his father's name was also not found in the list of employees he had found.

At first, Li Guangzhi thought that he might have made some omissions in the process of reviewing. But after checking the list three times, he finally had to accept the reality.

In fact, Li Guangzhi also knew in his heart that his father died in the line of duty in his previous life, and the factory had to pay a pension every month for this. For this kind of special employees, it should be easy to find on the list, and there is no possibility of omission.

His father and mother have become people who have never existed in this world, and this result has almost collapsed the spirit of Li Guangzhi, who has always been looking forward to reuniting with his mother.

After lying in his hotel room for two days and two nights, with the last glimmer of hope, Li Guangzhi chartered another taxi and embarked on a journey to Jingchu City.

Li Guangzhi's father was born as an orphan, and there was no way to continue to trace it to the previous generation. And his mother has a mother's family. He vaguely remembered that in his previous life, his grandfather's family was in a small rural town near Jingchu City.

After arriving in the town, to Li Guangzhi's surprise, he easily found his grandfather's family according to the name. This situation rekindled a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Li Guangzhi, who was anxious to find the answer, now doesn't care how weird his behavior will be in the eyes of outsiders. He directly found his eldest aunt, who was more greedy for money in his impression in his previous life, that is, his mother's own sister, took out a stack of 100 yuan bills that had just been issued and placed them in front of her, and asked her for the name Zhao Xiumei.

Although Li Guangzhi's eldest aunt felt very strange about his behavior, the stack of hundred-yuan bills in front of her made her lose all other thoughts. She introduced to Li Guangzhi in detail that she did have a sister named Zhao Xiumei, but when this sister was only seven years old, she accidentally fell into the pond and drowned when she was playing alone by the pond behind the house.

This news seemed to be like a thunderbolt from the sky, shattering the last ray of hope in Li Guangzhi's heart. At the same time, it also made him have to accept the conclusion that he had already vaguely thought of.

He is now in a parallel world that is not exactly the same as his previous life.

In fact, from the moment he first found that the home he remembered suddenly changed owners, he had already begun to vaguely imagine this possibility in his mind. The subsequent search process was just to verify the authenticity of the idea.

He hoped in his heart that his idea was wrong, but all the facts that came out of the inquiry were mercilessly accusing him, and only this conclusion was true and reasonable.

In the same world, each person's existence should be unique. Therefore, since he has crossed into this world, it is impossible for there to be another Li Guangzhicun in this world.

Or to put it another way, it is precisely because there was no Li Guangzhi's existence in this world before that he was able to travel into this world.

In fact, for Li Guangzhi, who has read a lot of online novels, it is not very difficult to think of this answer. The hard part is how to make yourself accept this reality

Li Guangzhi, who returned to Jianghan City, fell into extreme confusion and loss in love, but also began to find ways to gradually accept this reality. After all, for him who did not have the courage to commit suicide, he still had to continue to survive in this world.

In this parallel world, there is no mother's existence, which has made him lose his spiritual sustenance. However, what is even more worthy of his concern is that if there are more differences between this parallel world in terms of history and current situation, and between his previous life, then the future information advantage he has as a reborn person will also be lost.

After Li Guangzhi realized this, the investigation of the differences between the two worlds became his top priority. Because this is a key issue related to the quality of his life in this world in the future.

He first bought a full set of middle school history textbooks in the bookstore, as well as some other history books. Then he locked himself in the hotel and spent two days reading through the books from the beginning. At the same time, he also carefully studied the mainstream newspapers and daily TV news for nearly a month.

The results of the study made him feel more at ease. Compared with the memories of the previous life, the history and current situation of this world have basically remained the same in the general direction.

The memorabilia of the historical era recorded in the textbook is basically consistent with the memory of his previous life. At least there wasn't a sudden addition of a dynasty or a missing famous emperor. As for the content of more details, with Li Guangzhi's historical knowledge, he is not capable of making judgments.

Fortunately, the world and domestic events reported in the newspapers and on the television news were also the events he remembered.

The new president of the United States is still called Clinton; The Soviet Union is still tossed into Russia by the map; Comrade Xiaoping still delivered a speech on his southern tour last year; Adhering to one central task and two basic points and building socialism with Chinese characteristics, these theories that Li Guangzhi memorized in his political textbooks in his previous life are the main contents of the front-page articles in major newspapers at present. The 386 hydraulic comrades who put forward the theory of three represents have not yet officially taken office.

In addition to these major events, there are many details that are consistent with the memories of his previous life, such as the same newspaper name, the familiar opening melody and familiar host of the news broadcast, and Xu Xian, who was also reversed by Ye Tong in CCTV's "The Legend of the New White Lady", etc., all of which made Li Guangzhi's mood a lot more stable because of this.

After studying the door behind closed doors in his room for three days, he planned to spend another two days exploring the streets of Jianghan City, comparing the similarities and differences between the two worlds on a practical level in a city that he was more familiar with in his previous life. Then, he was ready to leave here and set off for Shenhu City.

Since Jianghan City has no mother's deposit, there is no reason for him to stay. If he wants to start a business in China, the investment environment is more mature, the living conditions are more convenient, and in the future, Pudong District will soon become an economic hotspot in Shenhu City, which will naturally become his best choice.

However, during the last two days of the tour, Li Guangzhi was very surprised to find that he was actually being followed.

For Li Guangzhi, who has never received any training, he was able to find out that he was being followed, completely because the other party's actions were not covered up from beginning to end, as if he deliberately wanted him to find out. (To be continued......)
