Chapter 6: Bound to Each Other Listen carefully, until the case is solved, you and I...

An hour later.

Gu Yifeng finally pushed the door open and walked out, holding a document in his hand.

He stood silently at the door, fatigue in his eyes.

"Boss!" Gao Yiyuan called out tentatively, "What's going on?"

"Teacher Gu? Are you okay?" Ye Min asked with concern.

Gu Yifeng did not answer immediately, but raised his hand and loosened his collar abnormally.

"Xiao Gao," Gu Yifeng finally spoke, glancing at him calmly, "You did a great job. Don't do it next time. Go write the report."

Gao Yiyuan smiled awkwardly and scratched his head: "I'm sorry, Boss, I was wrong."

"Xiao Gao, how many reports is this month?" Ni Qianfan crossed his arms, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Generated by AI, my next life can be written in advance!" Gao Yiyuan returned to his playful look.

Only Ye Min didn't smile. She looked at Gu Yifeng with a serious expression: "Teacher Gu, did the deputy minister say what to do?"

"I've taken care of it, don't worry." His voice was deeper than usual, and after a moment he asked, "Where's Wen Yi?"

Everyone was speechless for a moment.

He used her name, not "suspect" or "person involved in the case", but called her by her first name.

She raised her hand and pointed to the interrogation room: "Still waiting there."

In the interrogation room, Wen Yi fell asleep on the table, but her sleep was not sound.

In the dream world, there was not a single living person - sometimes there was a frozen corpse with white steam coming out of it, and sometimes there was a man who was crushed into pieces of meat.

Countless cones of light suddenly passed before her eyes, and she seemed to have returned to that autumn more than ten years ago.

She was about seven or eight years old and huddled behind a big tree. The sound of boots crushing dead leaves was getting closer and closer, and she held her breath.

The moment the black-gloved hand was about to fall on her—

"Police! Stand back!" A sharp shout pierced the silence. In the backlight, a tall figure appeared before her, gun in hand.

"Don't look." He covered her eyes, "Count to ten and then open your eyes."

Distant memories are blurry.

When everything calmed down, he squatted down and looked at her quietly. His lips moved, but he said nothing. He just handed her the business card.

As she left holding her parents' hands, she tried hard to look back and remember that face, but she couldn't see it clearly.

Until a hand penetrated her dream and held her hand in reality: "Wen Yi, wake up!"

Wen Yi suddenly opened her eyes and saw Gu Yifeng's face very close to her - perfectly integrated with the policeman who saved her in her dream.

"Did you have a nightmare?" He asked softly, as if afraid to disturb her.

Wen Yi slowly returned to reality from her dream and nodded somewhat slowly.

Before she was fully awake, she saw that he was holding a document with the words "Supervision Agreement" printed on it.

"I have something to tell you." Gu Yifeng grabbed her hand and gently put down the document with his other hand, "You are now a suspect in the ice cream truck explosion case, and you are also a person with special abilities registered with the security department.

The Bureau will not allow a suspect with special abilities to move freely outside.

During the investigation, I must ensure that you do not violate the law in using your abilities. If you are innocent..." His tone softened significantly.

"Then I will protect your safety even more."

"This is to inform you. Whether you agree or not," Gu Yifeng pushed the supervision agreement in front of her, "you will be under my supervision until the case is solved. Please sign it."

Wen Yi felt for a moment that she was still asleep. How come she understood every word this person said, but couldn't understand what they said together?

What is he talking about? What regulation? Who is being regulated?

"I don't quite understand what you mean..." She tried to break free from Gu Yifeng's hand, but failed.

"Simply put, from now on you will need to report your status to your supervisor in person every day and undergo a physical examination if necessary.

Each time you use a capability, you need to obtain authorization from the supervisor, and after use, the supervisor needs to record the usage of the capability."

Wen Yi was dumbfounded: "Do you think this makes sense?"

"Sign it." The agreement was pushed in front of her again.

She lowered her head to read it, as if weighing something.

After a moment, Wen Yi laughed angrily: "You still need my signature to consent to my illegal detention?"

"According to the Regulations on the Management of Persons with Special Abilities, this is called special supervision." He leaned in closer, his breath brushing against her ear.

"You are a suspect in this case. Only by cooperating with me and using your special abilities to find the murderer of these three murders can you clear your name."

You can be dissatisfied, but business as usual will be handled without exception."

She resisted in her heart, but she also felt that he was not targeting her. But, was this really the only way?

"I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied," Wen Yi struggled with her wrist, "but can you let go of my hand first?" She raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yifeng, "Could it be that Director Gu... is so anxious to bind me?"

He didn't let go immediately. His eyes fell on her wrist, pausing for a moment before he slowly let go. "No hurry."

She took the pen and signed slowly and deliberately.

After she made the final tick, she looked up at him and asked, "Does this work?"

Gu Yifeng put away the signed agreement: "Yes. You can go back and rest first."

Wen Yi was slightly startled. She didn't expect him to let her go so easily: "That's it? Aren't you worried that I'll run away?"

Gu Yifeng leaned back in his chair, his eyes slowly locked on her: "I believe you will stay." His fingertips unconsciously stroked her name.

"It's not because of the agreement, but because you know in your heart that I'm not only looking for the truth, but also for you."

Wen Yi's eyes flickered slightly.

His tone changed. "I believe you won't betray my trust. But if you leave without saying goodbye... then don't blame me for taking coercive measures against you."

She sneered in her heart. The last person who took coercive measures against her did not end up well.

"Remember the requirements of the supervision agreement. You are obligated to let me find you whenever I need you. Can you do that?"

"Are you kidding me? What if I'm taking a shower?" She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said deliberately.

Gu Yifeng was stunned for a moment, his eyes lingered on her dimples for a moment, then quickly lifted up again.

"Then take it." He suddenly took a step closer, shrouding her in his shadow, and said in a low voice, "The agreement doesn't say 'except in special circumstances'."

Wen Yi tilted her head to look at him, a cunning glint in her eyes: "Director Gu, is this considered... taking advantage of me?"

He lowered his eyes and smiled, his tone unchanged: "This is called fulfilling your duties. After all, when you are in danger or your abilities go berserk, you don't choose the occasion."

Hearing the voices of colleagues in the distance, Gu Yifeng took a half step back and returned to his businesslike appearance.

But before turning around, Wen Yi clearly saw a very faint curve at the corner of his mouth.

"Teacher Gu, are we just going to let her go like this?" Ye Min frowned. "She must be related to the last case!"

Ni Qianfan handed over a report: "Her bag was found at the scene, and her cell phone was destroyed in the explosion."

Gao Yiyuan put down the tablet in his hand: "I restored the data on her phone, and there is no valuable information."

He scratched his head. "Either this isn't her regular phone, or she's deliberately isolating herself from the outside world."

"Old Gu, what instructions did the Deputy Minister give?"

Gao Yiyuan frowned: "Those who can enter the SSS-level database are not ordinary people."

Gu Yifeng sorted out the case materials without looking up: "Wen Yi, I'll take care of it."

"But Teacher Gu," Ye Min lost her patience, "if she's really in the database, we shouldn't let her go so easily."

"She is crucial to the case." Gu Yifeng looked up, "I have my own arrangements for this person."

"But--"

"Ye Min," Gu Yifeng interrupted her, his tone suddenly turning cold, "I know more about the situation than you do. If you still trust me, then do what you should do now."

*

It was already dawn when Wen Yi returned to the hotel. Exhausted by the nightmare, she fell asleep, not even noticing the constant vibrations of her phone.

It was not until she was awakened by the sound of "knock knock knock" on the window that Wen Yi suddenly realized that it was almost dusk.

A fat little bird with red feathers and a black tail came in from the window, chirped twice at Wen Yi, and jumped onto her outstretched hand.

This is the communication bird her mother uses to contact her. It can transmit what she sees and hears back at an extremely fast speed. It can be called the Wen family's special monitoring system.

"Don't worry, I'm fine now!" Wen Yi smiled at the "surveillance" and briefly told what happened after she came out of the mountains.

The bird tilted its head to look at her, as if it understood, then turned and flew away.

After sending the little red bird away, Wen Yi noticed the unread messages on her phone.

This was the dedicated phone that Gu Yifeng had given her to contact the supervisor. A new message popped up on the screen:

"Supplementary Clause 11 of the Supervision Agreement: Penalties for violations include, but are not limited to, on-site inspections by the supervisor."

Bullshit supplementary terms!

The phone then vibrated.

"Ms. Wen," Gu Yifeng's voice came, "Remember the first clause of the supervision agreement? Come downstairs in ten minutes."

Before she could respond, the call was hung up.

As the car entered the bustling commercial district, Gu Yifeng took the initiative to speak:

"The case of the frozen corpse has been closed. In fact, there were five victims." He turned his head to look at her. "The criminal proceedings were terminated due to the murderer's death, but the murderer's estate will be used to compensate the victims' families."

"Is that all?" Wen Yi turned her head silently to look out the window, slowly clenched her fists, and her nails dug into her palms.

The stars outside the car are shining brightly, but they cannot illuminate the five broken families. Their families will live in pain for the rest of their lives.

The car stopped at a red light.

Gu Yifeng suddenly reached out and gently pried open her clenched fingers one by one.

"Don't pinch yourself." His eyes fell on the white pinch marks on her palms, and his voice was low, "I... am glad that you didn't become the sixth victim."

Wen Yi looked up and was caught off guard by his gentle yet deep eyes. His gaze seemed to have a deep meaning, which she couldn't understand, but her heart beat inexplicably faster.

The green light came on, he let go of his hand, and the car started slowly.

"Let's go eat first."

"I'm not hungry."

He chuckled. "As your supervisor, it's my responsibility to make sure you eat on time. Just follow my instructions today, okay?"

The car stopped at the edge of the commercial district.

"Get out of the car." Gu Yifeng unbuckled his seat belt. "The restaurant is on the pedestrian street in front."

Wen Yi followed Gu Yifeng through the crowd. The night breeze brought the aroma of food to her face, making her look forward to dinner.

Suddenly, Gu Yifeng's footsteps paused slightly.

"Don't look back." He whispered, then put his arm around her waist and gently pulled her into his arms. "We're being followed."

Wen Yi's heart tightened, as if she also felt the cold gaze behind her.

The two of them quickened their pace tacitly. To passers-by, they looked like a couple in a hurry to go on a date, but Wen Yi felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

"What should we do now?" Wen Yi couldn't help but turn her head slightly to look back.

Why always her? Is there something about her that attracts criminals?

Gu Yifeng took her in his arms and turned into an alley. He gently pressed her against the wall. His tall figure completely enveloped her, and his hot breath brushed past her ears: "Don't move."

He leaned over and whispered in her ear, but his eyes were always scanning the surroundings vigilantly: "The other party is very professional. He has never been able to get rid of him."

Wen Yi frowned: "Who could it be?"

Smelling the faint scent of perfume on him, her face heated up slightly: "Okay, okay?

"No," he said calmly, still staying close, "He's still around."

"So what should we do now?"

"Wait a moment." He still didn't move, his eyes scanning the alley entrance vigilantly.

The street lights entangled the two people's shadows together. There was a lot of noise outside the alley, and the heartbeats inside the alley were deafening.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Yifeng gradually let go of his hand.

Just when she wanted to pull back——

"Wait." He suddenly held her hand again, "Cooperate with me. The other party may be testing our relationship."

This overly intimate gesture made her breath catch.

"Let's go eat first." He said it as a matter of course, as if nothing had happened just now.

Wen Yi didn't struggle anymore. She just lowered her head and let him hold her hand as they walked forward. Her heart was beating wildly. "It's not necessary to eat this meal. How about... just forget it?"

Gu Yifeng lowered his eyes and glanced at her, with a hint of tenderness hidden in his eyes, but his tone was firm: "The plan remains the same, don't worry, I will protect you."

He leaned close to her ear, his breath brushing her hair, "Trust me this time, okay?"

In the distance, a black figure flashed past the entrance of the alley.
