Chapter 8: Homologous Duel I am your supervisor, you can try...

Back at the police force's technical department, the three of them quickly gathered around the computer screen.

"Although the picture isn't very clear, it should be good enough." Gao Yiyuan typed on the keyboard, frowning slightly, "Just wait and see."

Not long after, the result was locked in: Guo Qingyu, a native of Yunhu City.

The moment the photo was loaded, Gu Yifeng's gaze suddenly stopped.

"Boss?" Gao Yiyuan noticed that his expression was not right. "Do you know him?"

Gu Yifeng retracted his gaze and said calmly, "I don't know him."

Gao Yiyuan tapped the keyboard and read out the profile information: "So he is the founder of the "Yiqi" dating app!"

Wen Yi asked curiously, "What app?"

"It's a very popular dating app on the market. I've studied its matching algorithm before, and it's currently the best on the planet."

Gao Yiyuan casually clicked on a financial advisory: "Look, the stock price of 'Yiqi Technology'... Damn! It's gone up so high! If I had known earlier, I would have gone all in. I'd be financially free now!"

Gu Yifeng glanced at him coldly.

"Ahem... I've gotten off topic." Gao Yiyuan quickly got back to the point. "Guo Qingyu's story is quite interesting! He was a mediocre person in his early years, with no history of him having any talent for coding. It wasn't until his university days that he wrote a revolutionary algorithm and was hired by a tech giant as an exception. He founded his own tech company before the age of 30!"

Wen Yi was all too familiar with this sudden change in talent.

"In addition to the dating app, he has also collaborated with the government on multiple projects to promote the development of artificial intelligence. He is the most influential young entrepreneur in Yunhu City."

At this point, Gao Yiyuan lamented, "He and I are both IT elites, so we're half colleagues, but why is there such a big difference in our net worth?"

Gu Yifeng looked at the file without blinking: "Xiao Gao, your colleagues only have science and evidence."

"Yes, yes, yes." Gao Yiyuan put away his joking thoughts and said seriously, "From a technical perspective, he can devour the data so smoothly, which makes me suspect that his user privacy agreement is just a decoration... No, I have to hack into this app and see what's going on..."

Wen Yi looked at the various information on the screen in silence. If she had some doubts in the restaurant just now, now she was basically certain that Guo Qingyu should have some special abilities like herself.

She lowered her eyes in thought, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the edge of the phone.

Guo Qingyu's appearance at the restaurant was no coincidence. He was afraid he had come with ill intentions, and was he going to ask Gu Yifeng's men for help? Would he believe the empty claim that Yunhu City's outstanding entrepreneur was a person with special abilities and was suspected of murder?

Gu Yifeng looked at her quietly, and suddenly said: "You guess he is the one who followed us?

Wen Yi was stunned: "How do you know?"

"You're dressed similarly, and your movements are synchronized." His voice was slightly lowered. "Of all the people who showed up at the restaurant, he's the only one who'd be interested in you."

She looked up at him: "You think it's him too, right?"

Gu Yifeng did not deny: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Gao Yiyuan's fingertips danced on the keyboard. He easily bypassed the triple firewall and entered a backend system that had never been made public.

"There's something wrong with this structure..." Gao Yiyuan looked serious for the first time.

"What's the problem?" Gu Yifeng asked.

"This data is very strange. It doesn't seem like the background of a dating app, but rather—"

Before he could finish his words, all the data suddenly began to self-destruct at an alarming speed.

"We've been discovered!" Gao Yiyuan frantically typed on the keyboard, trying to save the situation, gritting his teeth. "Damn it!!! This speed is simply..."

With a shrill electronic sound, the last line of data disappeared, and a line of text appeared on the screen:

When algorithmic will permeates quantum backtracking, fate will become an editable script.

Gao Yiyuan turned to Gu Yifeng: "Boss, what do you mean by this?"

Gu Yifeng did not answer, his eyes were fixed on the silent Wen Yi.

Gao Yiyuan didn't understand, but Wen Yi did. This sentence was left for her.

"Miss Wen, what do you think?" Gu Yifeng spoke slowly.

Wen Yi smiled and said, "I don't understand a single word of what's written here."

"Really?" Gu Yifeng frowned. "Why don't I believe a word you just said?"

Wen Yi: ...

Silence stretched in the air for a few seconds.

Gu Yifeng suddenly spoke: "Wen Yi, Article 3 of the supervision agreement states that you are not allowed to act alone without permission."

Wen Yi was stunned and pursed her lips. This guy really could read minds.

He always managed to block her retreat precisely when an idea came to her mind.

Wen Yi blinked at him: "I remember."

"I'm your guardian and have an obligation to keep you safe." He spoke slowly and calmly, "You can try to trust me. Rather than 'protecting,' I'm better at...solving your problems."

Wen Yi: ...Awesome!

Pretend as much as you can.

Can you solve the troubles of people with special abilities?

She gave a formulaic smile. "Yes, sir."

Gu Yifeng thought for a moment and added, "I know you are curious about him, but his identity is not simple. He is not someone you can approach casually."

He's not simple, do you need to tell me? This isn't a question of right or wrong...

Wen Yi responded with a yes and nodded obediently.

Gu Yifeng looked at her quietly without saying anything else.

Gao Yiyuan sat aside, frowning slightly, his eyes wandering between the two of them.

"It's getting late." Gu Yifeng glanced at the time and said calmly, "I'll take you home."

*

"Ding——" After swiping the room card, Wen Yi pushed open the door of the hotel room, and the room was pitch black.

She closed the door casually and was about to turn on the light when she suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing from behind.

Before she could turn around, a big hand covered her mouth, and another hand tightly grasped her shoulders, pressing her against the wall.

Wen Yi's heart was beating like a drum and her body struggled instinctively, but she was firmly controlled by the other party and her body stiffened instantly!

Just when Wen Yi was falling into despair, the person behind her suddenly let go.

Wen Yi turned around quickly, her chest heaving violently: "Brother?!"

When she saw the familiar face in the darkness, her tense nerves broke instantly, "You scared me!"

The lights suddenly came on, and Wen Chi sank lazily into the sofa, his long legs casually crossed, and his fingertips tapped twice on the armrests——

"Tick. Tick."

The air seemed to be vibrating by some invisible force, and an invisible barrier quietly unfolded with him as the center.

The chirping of cicadas outside the window, the hustle and bustle of the street, and the sound of electrical appliances all suddenly disappeared at this moment. The whole room suddenly fell into an eerie silence, as if it was isolated from the outside world.

This is my brother's special "domain". Once it is unfolded, he can even control the flow of time, and no external force can penetrate it.

"You're so useless. You can't even handle this." Wen Chi had a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "Just come home with me, Yiyi."

"Why did you come to Yunhu City?" Wen Yi sat down next to him. "Are you here to see me?"

"I went to Yunchuan City to do some business, and I stopped by to see if my sister, who was kidnapped by a serial killer on the first day I came down the mountain, is still alive."

"Why do you look down on me? Not only am I fine, I've even awakened my talent!"

"Really?" Wen Chi raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled meaningfully, "Then tell me what your talent is? How do you control your abilities?"

"This..." Wen Yi touched her nose guiltily, blinked and smiled, "Aren't you still looking for the answer? Anyway, I have awakened my talent, you can't say that I am useless."

Wen Chi said with a sigh, "You are neither good at literature nor martial arts. You are just serving others by going down the mountain to gain experience. Now that your talent has awakened, there is no need to stay. Come back with me."

Wen Yi bit her lip; these words somewhat hurt her self-esteem.

"But...didn't you say my answer is right here?" she retorted unwillingly.

"That's what the old man said," Wen Chi elegantly crossed his legs, "but some answers require your life." He propped his chin on his hand and looked at Wen Yi: "How many lives do you have to worry about?"

Wen Yi was stunned:...It turns out that the elders' words were not a blessing, but a warning.

"By the way, brother, I met someone named Guo Qingyu... I suspect he is also a person with special abilities."

Wen Chi poured himself a cup of tea and asked, "Do you know why the Wen family split up back then?"

"Because of a secret agreement with the government?"

"That's not all." Wen Chi's gaze deepened. "At the time, the family split into two factions due to ideological conflicts. Our faction chose to accept government supervision in exchange for the continuation of the family lineage. The other faction..." His voice grew colder. "They refused to be constrained, let alone bow to the government."

"Where are they now?"

"Most people hide in the dark, while a few have established their own forces. Guo Qingyu is one of them."

"What exactly is his ability?" Wen Yi was shocked.

"I don't know..." He looked up at her, "I only know that he can devour and rewrite the data of all electronic devices he comes into contact with, and maybe more than that."

Wen Yi asked tentatively, "If he committed a crime, the police wouldn't be able to do anything to him, right?"

"Don't think about investigating Guo Qingyu alone." Wen Chi warned her.

Wen Yi's thoughts were exposed, and she retorted awkwardly: "I'm not alone, there's also Director Gu from the National Security Bureau..."

"Heh." Wen Chi chuckled with an ambiguous tone, "What did you talk about with that guy surnamed Gu?"

"I didn't say anything. He must have checked the files and signed a supervision agreement with me."

"Supervision agreement? Him and you? Ha." Wen Chi sneered, "There are so many special agents in the Investigation Bureau, it's hard for him, the director, to do it himself." After saying that, he glanced at Wen Yi with disdain.

"Didn't he protect me?"

"Protection?" Wen Chi chuckled. "Gu knows exactly what he's thinking. It's hard for him to wait for so many years."

Wen Yi was stunned: "Wait for me? Wasn't it his duty when he saved me back then?"

Wen Chi chuckled: "What do you think?"

No matter how stupid she was, she could understand the implication. Gu Yifeng did not appear in her life by chance?

Was that supervision agreement really out of duty, or was it part of his plan?

Could it be that he wanted to capture her and make her work as a slave for the National Security Bureau for the rest of her life?

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little breathless.

Her current situation is like having a tiger in front and a wolf behind. No matter whether it is Guo Qingyu who has extraordinary abilities or Gu Yifeng who has the support of the National Security Bureau, she can't afford to offend either of them!

What to do if you can't win? Run!

"Let's go now!" Wen Yi stood up suddenly.

Pack up and go back home!

Wen Chi raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Don't worry, I still have things to deal with tonight, and I will pick you up tomorrow morning."
