The next day, Wednesday, Wu Yue went downstairs and saw her father sitting at the dining table eating breakfast, looking very energetic.

Seeing Wu Yue come downstairs, he looked up and smiled, "Xiao Yue, come and have breakfast. Dad will take you to school later."

"Then I'll have to trouble Dad. Where's Mom?"

Wu Yue pulled out a chair and sat down.

“Your mom had a multinational video conference last night and just went to sleep not long ago.”

"oh."

The girl wiped her hands with a hot towel, then slowly picked up a small sandwich, squeezed some ketchup into the sandwich, and took a big bite.

"Xiaoyue, how are you doing at school? Have you made any friends? How are your grades now?" Father Wu rarely asked about 'Wu Yue's' situation, partly because he was busy with work, and partly because he trusted his daughter so much that he let her grow up without any supervision.

Because in Wu's father's subconscious, Wu Yue was a very self-disciplined and self-aware child. Asking too many questions would be a form of interference.

“They’re all just ordinary classmates,” Wu Yue said, taking a sip of warm milk. Then, slowly, she continued, “My grades used to be really bad…”

"It's alright, Xiaoyue. After you graduate from high school, Dad will arrange for you to study abroad. It's fine for you to stay with us." A hint of guilt suddenly appeared in Wu's father's eyes, and he arranged a way out for Wu Yue in just a few words.

Father Wu paused, as if he was about to reach out but then stopped.

"Dad, it's not what you think."

Wu Yue waved her hand: "My grades were very bad before, but now I've risen to the top of my grade."

"real?"

Mr. Wu's eyes widened in surprise, then his eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled: "I knew my daughter was the best. A temporary setback in her grades will only motivate her to improve."

As he spoke, he reached into his pocket, took out a card from his wallet, and pushed it in front of Wu Yue: "This is a reward from your father. The password is your birthday."

Why does this sentence seem so familiar?

[They really are family]

[Mom Wu said the same thing; the couple uses the exact same passwords, hahaha]

While others prioritize family ties, the Witch God's job is simply to collect money.

[What's scary is that she was really happy receiving them, hahaha]

[The Witch God's inner thoughts: Give me a few more!]

After breakfast, Mr. Wu put on his coat, picked up Wu Yue's schoolbag, and walked out.

Wu Yue quickly followed.

The driver was already waiting at the door. Just as the father and daughter were about to get into the car, a deep, resonant voice came from the side.

"Mr. Wu, Ms. Wu Yue, please wait."

Mr. Wu looked in the direction of the voice, a look of doubt in his eyes: "Officer? Is there something wrong?"

Wu Yue turned her head and looked at them silently without saying a word.

"I am Liu Qinghou, the captain of the Second Criminal Investigation Team of the city. You can just call me Captain Liu. Mr. Wu, please don't misunderstand. Here's the thing: we are currently looking for a prisoner who escaped from prison. Since Ms. Wu Yue has encountered this fugitive before, we would like to ask Ms. Wu Yue to help answer a few questions. It won't take up too much of your time."

Another officer chimed in, "Yes, yes, we can ask Wu Yue on her way to school. Shall we ride in our car?"

After the police finished speaking, Mr. Wu looked at Wu Yue with concern. Although he realized that his daughter was standing safely in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a wave of fear when he thought about the danger she had faced before.

His expression darkened, his eyes filled with a complex and unreadable emotion. Then, in a moment of silence, he realized something else.

"Xiaoyue, why didn't you tell your parents about such a big thing!"

Wu Yue knew that the fugitive the policeman was talking about was the muscular man she had met in the elevator.

At first, she thought it was just a trial given by the system and had nothing to do with this world. Even when she later found the bonus card in her pocket, she only regarded it as a reward.

Who would have thought that the trials and this world are actually intertwined!

only.

She didn't know which part of the world the trial took place in.

To avoid giving herself away, Wu Yue did not respond directly, especially at such a sensitive time.
