Chu Xingyue also joined Jun Hai for some drinks that evening, and Luo Feng happily joined in as well.

Junshan watched with longing, his heart itching with anticipation. Although he was a lightweight, he couldn't resist the temptation.

Junyan, Ye Sheng, and Ye Xue had to coax him one after another before he happily started eating.

This time, everyone at the dinner table was happy again.

After finishing her meal, Chu Xingyue left with Ye Zheng and Ye Qiuli reluctantly parting.

"These two little ones don't want us anymore now that they have An'an."

“Dad, the children are all grown up now, and they haven’t seen An’an in a long time. Let them go out and play with An’an.”

Ye Qiuli took Ye Zheng's arm, and the two entered the courtyard.

Junyan drove Junshan Luofeng and Junhai home first, and Chu Xingyue, Ye Sheng, and Ye Xue followed in a taxi.

"An'an, come back to Grandma's to sleep later." Luo Feng held Chu Xingyue's hand, as if she couldn't get enough of looking at her granddaughter whom she had just met.

"Grandma, we'll be back late tonight, so we won't be coming back. I'll take Yan'er to sleep at my place. Don't worry, we'll see each other tomorrow at noon."

“Yes, Mom, let the children go out and play. You two are light sleepers, and if the children come back late, you'll have trouble falling back asleep if you wake up.” Junshan stood beside Luo Feng, who was still clinging to Chu Xingyue, and persuaded her.

"Then you'll have to come back to sleep tomorrow. Grandma will tidy up your room for you."

"Yes, I'll come back with Yan'er tomorrow and stay home."

Junyan drove off with the group.

"Brother, it's been a long time since I've seen sister-in-law."

Fu Jingxing asked Gu Yanci, who was sitting on the sofa.

Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.

Lu Zhou glanced at Fu Jingxing.

"Do you think you can just pry into An'an's identity like that? Be careful, or I'll arrest you and lock you up."

"No, aren't we on the same side? I really have no intention of prying into anything, not even a thought."

Fu Jingxing quickly raised his hand to beg for mercy.

"Alright, stop teasing him. We've made plans to have dinner together tomorrow."

"See? You don't need to rush. Who is our Teacher Chu? Unlike us, she doesn't have so much time."

"Yes, yes, I was wrong, I was wrong."

"By the way, Aci, something strange happened here a few days ago."

"Um?"

"you do not know?"

“I’ll tell you.”

As Lu Zhou spoke, he leaned closer to Gu Yanci and whispered something in Gu Yanci's ear.

Gu Yanci's eyes narrowed slightly.

Turning his head to Lu Zhou, he asked:

How many cases are there?

"We have received information that there are two cases."

"Does that mean there are other places like this?"

Gu Yanci's heart skipped a beat. Had this situation existed before or had it just happened?

Gu Yanci's fingers, resting on the sofa, were tapping rhythmically.

Lu Zhou's expression also turned somewhat serious.

"Tell me, what's wrong with these people? This is like something out of a movie! Where can you find something like this?"

"Brother, is that our sister-in-law?" Fu Jingxing exclaimed in surprise.

The two people who were talking turned their heads toward the entrance downstairs.

Gu Yanci's lips, which had been pursed just moments before, now curled up completely.

"There's also a beautiful woman here."

"There's also a pretty girl and a handsome boy."

The two of them were talking back and forth.

When the two turned around, Gu Yanci was no longer in the room.

They really have no humanity when it comes to the opposite sex.

Fu Jingxing muttered to himself.

"An'an".

The joy in his voice was almost palpable.

“Aci”.

Chu Xingyue smiled and extended her hand, and Gu Yanci quickly stepped forward to shake it.

"Brother-in-law"

"Brother-in-law"

"Xiao Sheng and Xiao Xue are here too?"

"My sister brought us here to play."

The four walked forward, but Junyan stood still, her mouth slightly agape, somewhat incredulous.

Chu Xingyue, who was walking ahead, turned around when she saw that Jun Yan hadn't followed and saw this foolish look on her face.

"Yan'er, hurry up and keep up."

"Oh, oh, it's here, it's here."

No one knew what Junyan was thinking; she just followed behind.

Going upstairs, there weren't many people. There were waiters standing at the door of each private room, indicating that they valued privacy quite a bit here.

Before the group arrived, the door to the best-located private room opened from the inside.

"Your sister-in-law is here."

"An'an is back?"

"Hello, you brought your younger siblings here to relax."

The group was ushered inside.

"Please sit down, please sit down."

"The younger siblings are eating fruit and drinking beverages."

Junyan, Ye Sheng, and Ye Xue sat down and saw a handsome man in a suit greeting them. They smiled shyly and looked at the fruit and drinks offered to them, their eyes all turning to Chu Xingyue.

"Eat up, it's alright, there's nothing here that you're thinking of."

"You're very vigilant, that's a good thing. If you don't have your sister with you, you shouldn't come to these places unless necessary."

Lu Zhou had the demeanor of a teacher on his face.

"Yeah, we're still students, and we don't like places like this either."

Ye Xue took a bite of fruit and said.

"Yan'er, your brother-in-law."

"Huh?" A shout made everyone look at her.

"Uh, sorry, I was just a little surprised."

"The Jun family?" Gu Yanci asked.

"Yes, my uncle's cousin."

"Hello, brother-in-law! I'm Junyan, it's a pleasure to meet you." Junyan stood up.

"Sit down, sit down, we're family, no need to be so polite," this silly child actually stood up to greet them.

Lu Zhou found Jun Yan's actions somewhat amusing.

His eyes were full of smiles.

"Tomorrow I'll have a meal with my grandparents and uncle to get to know them."

"Yes, I've arranged everything."

This was the first time Junyan had ever been to a place like this before. Her eyes darted around, looking at everything so new and exciting. Fu Jingxing and Lu Zhou kept trying to keep their new friend company so she wouldn't feel lonely.

"Are you still in school?" Lu Zhou assumed Jun Yan was still in school, since Jun Yan didn't look much older than Ye Xue sitting next to her.

"I've graduated."

"This doesn't look like it. He looks like a student."

"Pfft."

Chu Xingyue laughed out loud.

"Is this some new way to start a conversation?"

Lu Zhou touched his nose and smiled.

"Sister-in-law, your little sister looks so young, how come she's already graduated? Won't she get bullied outside?"

This was the first time Chu Xingyue had ever heard such words.

"The two of you combined can't beat her, and you even get bullied. It would be good if she didn't bully anyone."

"Sis, that's not fair."

Junyan was a little embarrassed.

"With those skinny arms and legs? You dare to hit the two of us?" Fu Jingxing looked Jun Yan up and down.

Lu Zhou's eyes followed the movement, looking him up and down.

Ye Xue's eyes lit up.

"Didn't I tell you?"

"say what?"

The two looked puzzled. Did he say so?

Ye Xue and Ye Sheng also looked puzzled. It seemed that Sister An'an hadn't said anything about Sister Junyan all night.

"Oh, I didn't mention that. Junyan was my classmate at military academy. She's still an active-duty soldier."

"What?" The group couldn't sit still any longer.

"I really can't believe it, this guy is actually a classmate of our sister-in-law?"

"What, I don't quite believe what you're saying," Jun Yan said, crossing her arms and glancing sideways at the disbelieving group.

“Look at my brother-in-law, he’s not surprised at all. It’s the first time we’ve met him. He’s really ignorant.”

"No, I absolutely didn't mean to look down on you. It's just that you look so delicate and don't seem like a soldier at all. I didn't expect you to be an officer."

Lu Zhou quickly began to explain.

It would have been better if he hadn't explained, because once he did, even Gu Yanci glanced at Lu Zhou, while Lu Zhou himself didn't notice at all and was still looking at Jun Yan with a smile on his face.

"Sister Yan'er, so you're a soldier just like Sister An'an."

"yes."

"Then my brother will be your junior," Ye Xue said, a mix of pride and disappointment in her voice.

"Yes, I heard from my sister that my brother is great."

Junyan gave Ye Sheng a thumbs up, making the little brother blush with embarrassment.

"Ye Sheng, every time I see you, you look so shy. Are you like this at school too?"

"No, that's me, that's me."

"Fu Jingxing, stop teasing Ye Sheng." Chu Xingyue couldn't bear to see Ye Sheng being laughed at.

"Come on, I'll take you down for a look around." Fu Jingxing led the three of them down.

The three of them looked at Chu Xingyue again. "Alright, with me here, who would be so blind as to cause trouble?"

They were just a few children.

"Go ahead, come up when you get tired. Don't be afraid if anything happens, Brother Fu will take good care of you."

I brought the three of us out to relax, there's no need for us to stay with them. It's better to have someone take care of the kids.

The door to the room was closed.

“Lu Zhou, tell An An what you just told me.”

Lu Zhou roughly knew Chu Xingyue's identity. Chu Xingyue had contact with the core members, and even if he didn't say anything now, he wouldn't be able to keep this information from her in the end.

"Our unit has caught two people who committed wanton vandalism in the past few days."

"Describe it specifically."

Chu Xingyue leaned back on the sofa, her imposing aura so strong that even Gu Yanci sitting next to her didn't show any weakness.

"One of them was found in the wet market, at a meat stall."

These words made Chu Xingyue raise an eyebrow.

"He suddenly went berserk while selling pork. He was very strong, and several onlookers were unable to dodge in time and were slashed. The problem is that one of the people who were slashed lost an arm and the other was slashed in the shoulder. If it weren't for the timely rescue, the two most seriously injured people would have died."

Chu Xingyue gestured for Lu Zhou to continue.

"He was finally stopped by a shot from a SWAT officer, and afterwards he had no recollection of what he had done."

"Any other clues?" Chu Xingyue rubbed her fingers together.

"We haven't found it yet."

"And the other one?"

"Another one was a construction worker who suddenly went berserk while working normally. If it weren't for an excavator running over him, who knows what would have happened. But according to the excavator driver, the worker was struggling the whole time he was being run over, and there were several moments when he was afraid that the excavator wouldn't be able to hold him down."

"Furthermore, there are similar cases all over the country."

Chu Xingyue turned her head and exchanged a glance with Gu Yanci. It seemed that they both saw something in each other's eyes.

Where are the two people from Kyoto now?

"Locked in a prison on the outskirts of Beijing."

"Um."

Chu Xingyue hummed in response and then remained silent.

Neither Gu Yanci nor Lu Zhou made a sound to disturb her.

"Has anything unusual happened during the days you've been detained?"

"The feedback I received from the prison was that it was fortunate they were there, otherwise they wouldn't be able to hold them."

Gu Yanci suddenly stood up, startling Lu Zhou, who watched Gu Yanci's every move.

Gu Yanci walked to the bar and picked up one of the laptops.

Lu Zhou was a little confused when the computer was placed in front of Chu Xingyue. Weren't they talking about something? Why did they bring a computer over?

Gu Yanci gestured for Lu Zhou to sit next to Chu Xingyue.

Lu Zhou was puzzled, so he sat down next to Chu Xingyue and looked at the computer screen.

Chu Xingyue's slender hands moved rapidly across the keyboard.

After a few seconds of garbled text on the computer screen, the image that appeared on the screen soon made Lu Zhou's mouth drop open.

She turned to look at Chu Xingyue, then at the computer in front of her.

Is this prison surveillance footage?

Each frequency division corresponds to a different part of the prison.

Chu Xingyue watched quickly, and soon everything happening on the screen was in the eyes of the three people.

Well, the room wasn't very big, and besides the door, there was only one vent. The person inside was looking down and picking at something with their hands, occasionally glancing up at the vent.

"What the hell is he trying to do?" Lu Zhou was startled by the man's sudden action on the screen.

"They probably want to go out," Gu Yanci said, looking at the screen.

"It's not just about wanting to go out."

Chu Xingyue spoke.

"Um?"

"This should be the other one."

"Holy crap, isn't this a bit too creepy?"

Chu Xingyue put the surveillance cameras from both rooms together, so now everything that happened in both rooms is under the watchful eyes of the three of them.

Is there something outside?

Where are the others?

Chu Xingyue frowned and asked Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou paused for a second before realizing what was happening.

"Hold on."

Lu Zhou took out his phone and made a few calls. Soon, his phone received calls from other people in similar situations.

The phone was placed in front of Chu Xingyue, who read through all the information on everyone's phone before starting to type on the keyboard.

Is there a large screen here?

"have."

Gu Yanci stood up, took out the remote control, and slowly lowered a screen from the ceiling. Chu Xingyue looked up at it, then looked down and continued. When the screen was lowered, the room lights went out, and similar scenes began to flash on the screen, showing everyone who had been locked up.

All of this was done in less time than Lu Zhou had made the phone call earlier.

The three of them just watched everything on the screen.

"It seems they're not afraid of us knowing at all; they're all people living in first-tier cities."

"Does your uncle know?"

Chu Xingyue looked at the curtain and asked Gu Yanci beside her.

Gu Yanci pondered for a moment before speaking:

"I don't think it's time to report this to my uncle yet."

“It’s not like this has stopped happening now. If we don’t report it soon, I estimate that such situations will become more and more common.” Chu Xingyue felt that things were definitely not that simple.

"I'll call my uncle right now."

Gu Yanci took out his phone and dialed Gu Li's number.

“I’ll talk to my uncle.”

The two of them did nothing in front of Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou watched Chu Xingyue calmly talking to Gu Yanci's uncle, Gu Li.

He knew Chu Xingyue was powerful, but what had just happened before his eyes seemed different from what he considered powerful.
