Chapter 020: Clear Understanding
获得主角能力的我只想过平凡生活 · 第020章 了然
The idea was not wrong, and the method was feasible.
But the problem is, you got it fucking wrong. I'm not standing in for Ma You, I'm fucking standing in for Wan Ming.
Wang Bo initially thought these two had discovered his secret, knew he had money, and wanted to pull a honey trap to extort his wealth, but now he realized the situation was completely different from what he had imagined.
It was neither a kidnapping nor a honey trap.
They had no intention of making things difficult for him at all; they had simply mistaken him for someone else from the very beginning.
This fucking thing is giving me a headache.
Wang Bo rubbed his temples, sent the exhausted Tang Xin back to her bedroom, covered her with the quilt, changed his own clothes, and came downstairs, just in time to run into Uncle Tang, who was all smiles.
Old Man Tang hugged Wang Bo and said bluntly, “Worthy nephew—oh no, I should say worthy son-in-law. Young people are full of vigor; someone like me has to admit I’m getting old.”
Wang Bo looked at the other's beaming face and said, "Uncle Tang, if I told you that I'm not Ma You, but Wan Ming—someone who has never left Hong Kong Island—what would you think?"
Uncle Tang's heart suddenly twitched, and he forced a smile. "Worthy son-in-law, don't joke with your uncle. My heart isn't too good."
Wang Bo said, "What if it's true?"
"How could that be?" Old Man Tang didn't believe it. If things really turned out like that, wouldn't he have suffered a huge loss?
"What if?" Wang Bo insisted.
"You mean, what if you're not a horse friend, but a daredevil." Old Man Tang saw Wang Bo's insistence, and his heart began to tremble.
“Yes.” Wang Bo nodded.
Old Tang's smile grew more forced, and he waved his hand repeatedly, saying, "Impossible, impossible, how could such a thing happen? Absolutely impossible. It's not like I haven't seen your photo. How could there be two people in the world who look exactly alike, unless they were twins..."
Saying this, Old Man Tang suddenly thought of something and his expression changed. "Your name is Wan Ming?"
“Yes.” Wang Bo nodded.
"You've never left Hong Kong Island?" Old Man Tang asked again.
“That's right.” Wang Bo nodded again.
"Who are your parents?"
"I don't know." According to Wanming's memory, he was raised from childhood by a dancing girl, who was not his biological mother but his foster mother. Yet in Wanming's heart, this dancing girl was no different from his mother.
Unfortunately, the dancing girl was ill-fated and passed away when Wanming was still young, which led to him roaming the streets alone from an early age and honing his fighting skills.
Old Man Tang asked again, "How old are you this year?"
Wang Bo recalled Wan Ming's age for a moment and said a number.
Upon hearing this, Old Tang couldn't help murmuring, "The timing matches too. Could it really be true?"
Seeing him like this, Wang Bo couldn't help asking, "Uncle Tang, you're not suspecting that I have some connection with that man named Ma You, are you?"
Old Man Tang nodded and said, “Actually, Ma You’s mother gave birth to twins in a Hong Kong hospital more than twenty years ago. At that time, a robber caused a disturbance, resulting in Ma You’s younger brother being kidnapped. Although the robber was eventually caught, Ma You’s younger brother’s whereabouts remain unknown.”
"Mayou's parents were heartbroken and left Hong Kong for the United States."
"And you look exactly like Ma You, and you're the same age. You grew up in Hong Kong from childhood, raised by your foster mother, so I suspect you are Ma You's long-lost younger brother."
Wang Bo was stunned. "That can't be."
How could there be such an absurd thing in the world.
"Of course, this is just my initial suspicion; I can't be sure," said Old Man Tang. "If you don't mind, Ma You will return to Hong Kong Island tomorrow to hold a concert. You can meet then and confirm whether you are really brothers."
"A concert?" Wang Bo was taken aback. "What does that Ma You do?"
"Ma You is a conductor, an internationally renowned conductor."
Wait, twins, separated since childhood, the elder brother is a conductor, the younger brother grew up in the streets.
One was refined, the other rough.
One can fight, the other cannot.
Holy shit, this scene feels so familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before.
Wang Bo racked his brains to recall, and after some time, he found this scene from the depths of his memory.
Double Dragon Meeting!
So that's it — I've come to the world of Twin Dragons.
The reason he hadn't thought of it at first was, firstly, because this movie was simply too old; Wang Bo had probably been just a child when he watched it.
The second reason was that he hadn't finished watching the movie.
Yes, Wang Bo remembered that he seemed to have seen this movie on his way to school, but he only watched the beginning before he was almost late, so he had to rush to school.
From then on, this film was buried in Wang Bo's memory, never to be encountered again.
After Wang Bo grew up, new films emerged one after another, and he never thought of revisiting such an old-fashioned movie.
If Uncle Tang hadn't brought it up today, Wang Bo would never have remembered that he was actually in the world of Twin Dragons.
But even knowing what world this was, Wang Bo felt helpless.
Because he hadn't even finished watching the movie, he had no understanding of the plot whatsoever.
He only knew that Wan Ming and Ma You were probably the protagonists, but what the two would encounter, what they would go through, who the female lead was—Wang Bo had no idea about any of it.
Fortunately, he had no intention of finding the time traveler now, otherwise Wang Bo would be even more conflicted.
But Wang Bo could now basically confirm that Wan Ming was indeed Ma You's brother.
But unfortunately, having taken Wanming's place, he was now a different person; if a blood test were done, there would be absolutely no chance they were biological brothers.
But what Wang Bo was curious about was that he had clearly taken Wan Ming's place, yet his face was still his own.
Why would Uncle Tang still think of himself as Ma You.
Mine and Ma Youchang's should be different, right?
Having no other choice, Wang Bo had to consult his external cheat device.
So this is what substitution means: you replace this person, and even if you use your own face, your own body, in others' eyes, you are this person.
"So that means what they actually see is not my face, but Ma You's face?"
No, they see your face, but because you have replaced Wanming, and Wanming and Mayou are blood brothers, even if you don't look like Mayou, in the eyes of others, you are still Wanming, still Mayou's twin, still look exactly the same—that is the effect of replacement.
Upon hearing this, Wang Bo couldn't help but sigh. What else could he say at this point? Substitution was simply so unreasonable.
To this, Wang Bo could do nothing.
