Chapter 25: First Meeting with the Wen Family. Thank you Mr. Gu for loving my daughter. I will take care of her first...
When the knock on the door sounded for the second time, Gu Yifeng held Wen Yi's shoulders and gently pushed her towards the bedroom: "Go in and wait."
His tone was gentle, but there was a hint of displeasure in his voice.
Wen Yi opened her mouth, and finally retreated back to the room at his signal, but deliberately left a gap when closing the door, and looked towards the living room through the crack.
Gu Yifeng straightened his clothes to cover the red mark on his collarbone, then went over and turned the doorknob.
The man standing outside the door made Wen Yi's pupils shrink suddenly.
It was Wen Chi.
How did he find this place?
"Who are you looking for?" Gu Yifeng leaned against the door frame, his voice cold.
"Of course, I'll go find Director Gu..." Wen Chi's playful gaze flicked over Gu Yifeng. "Oh, I almost forgot. You received the suspension notice last night, right? What should I address you now?"
She saw that Gu Yifeng's carotid artery was throbbing, and he was obviously suppressing his anger.
"Brother?!" She couldn't help but speak and walked out of the room.
Wen Chi's eyes slowly swept over the obviously loose shirt on her body, and his amber eyes narrowed slightly: "You've come just in time, I'm here to take you home."
Her ears suddenly felt hot, and she lowered her head in embarrassment, her fingertips clenching the hem of her shirt.
Gu Yifeng suddenly grabbed her wrist and said, "This is her home."
"Really?" Wen Chi said, half-smiled. "No wonder Mr. Gu is exercising his supervisory duties so harshly. Your superiors are using living people for experiments, while your subordinates are abusing their power for personal gain. As the saying goes, if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked."
The air suddenly froze.
"Are you done?" Gu Yifeng's knuckles made a terrible crisp sound.
Wen Chi remained calm, slowly adjusting his sleeves. "I'll take the person with me. You won't have to trouble Mr. Gu with supervision in the future." He reached out to pull Wen Yi. "The Wen family will protect their people."
At the moment Wen Chi was about to touch her, Gu Yifeng moved.
He pulled her behind him, as if it was an instinctive reaction.
Wen Yi staggered half a step and stood between the two of them, not knowing which side she should stand on.
Wen Chi raised his right hand nonchalantly, and the invisible barrier spread out around him again.
He then put his fingers together and lightly drew a line in the air—
"Bang!"
Gu Yifeng seemed to be hit by an invisible heavy punch. He was thrown back into the house and fell heavily to the ground.
"Brother! Stop it! Let's talk it over!" Wen Yi screamed and rushed forward. The flashing light of the diamond ring on her ring finger deeply stung Wen Chi's eyes.
His eyes dimmed.
"This is..." He stared at the ring with undisguised disgust in his eyes.
Gu Yifeng supported his body with his right hand, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, but he gave Wen Chi a provocative smile.
"Gu, you are looking for death." He slowly closed his left hand in the air - five purple and red marks suddenly appeared on Gu Yifeng's neck, as if someone was strangling his throat. His face turned red in an instant and he couldn't breathe.
"Wen Chi, stop!" Wen Yi's voice was unprecedentedly cold, and she instinctively rushed between the two of them.
The gravitational field of the entire living room suddenly twisted, the air spread out like ripples, and the glass on the coffee table suddenly shattered into countless motionless glass particles between the two people.
Wen Yi gritted her teeth and said, "He's just an ordinary person!"
A vortex-like force field formed between the two people, and the suspended glass fragments began to vibrate at a high frequency.
Gu Yifeng seized the opportunity to break free and ran towards Wen Yi. Blood flowed from his broken wound, forming strange beads that floated in the air.
“You’re really capable…” Wen Chi chuckled, “You dare to fight me, just for him.”
He raised his right hand and waved it gently, instantly penetrating Wen Yi's gravitational field.
All the objects suspended in the air fell back to the ground with a "bang".
"Wen Chi."
A voice as gentle as jade came from the door.
Wen Chi, who was about to kill, immediately stopped, turned around quickly, and stood respectfully.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man at the door, wearing a custom-made ivory satin shirt, walking in slowly.
His eyebrows and eyes were similar to Wen Yi's, and there was a smile in his eyes, but it made the temperature of the whole room drop suddenly.
"Why are you making such a big fuss when you asked me to pick someone up?"
Wen Yi's blood froze.
It’s father!
Why is he here too?
"Dad...Dad?" Her voice trembled a little.
The man did not answer, but just smiled and raised his hand - he took back all the remaining force fields, the scattered glass fragments condensed into a complete cup, the floating blood beads turned into red mist and returned to Gu Yifeng's wound, and even the cracks in the wooden floor were restored to their original state.
"You've demolished Mr. Gu's house. This isn't how I taught you to be a guest." Wen Yunzhi withdrew his hand. "Please sit down first."
The four of them sat down in Gu Yifeng's living room, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Gu Yifeng filled the teacups one by one and looked at the Wen family father and son who were sitting upright opposite him.
Her father is gentle and refined, and his every move reveals his upbringing and cultivation.
And her "fake brother", with his experience of seeing countless people, doesn't look like a good person. Calling him a thug in a suit is an understatement.
Gu Yifeng sneered in his heart. They were not even related by blood, but he still regarded himself as his brother all day long. Did he have any shame?
He looked at his "fake brother" and then at himself, vaguely feeling that he had not performed well enough today.
The main reason was that I didn’t expect the first formal meeting with Wen Yi’s family to be so sudden.
He hadn't changed his clothes or shaved his beard, and not only was he covered in wounds, but he was also beaten by her "fake brother" without any resistance... He pinched his eyebrows hard to hide his embarrassment.
Damn! It was this "fake brother" who made him lose face in front of his father-in-law!
It's rare for him to hate someone so sincerely!
Wen Yunzhi interrupted Gu Yifeng's thoughts and said, "I roughly understand what happened after Yiyi came down the mountain. Mr. Gu's injuries were caused by my two children. As a father, I will not sit idly by."
Wen Yunzhi raised his right hand slightly and waved it gently, and the marks on Gu Yifeng's neck and all the wounds on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Gu Yifeng looked at the changes in himself in disbelief. He removed the bandage on his left hand - even the torn tendon had healed.
"Thank you..." Gu Yifeng whispered his thanks to Wen Yunzhi.
"You're welcome, Mr. Gu," Wen Yunzhi chuckled. "You've saved my daughter many times, and I should be the one thanking you."
"She and I..." Gu Yifeng was about to speak, but was interrupted by Wen Yunzhi.
"Yiyi," he turned to look at his daughter with a gentle smile, "I guess you gained a lot this time going down the mountain."
Wen Yi nodded with a complicated expression, her fingers unconsciously touching the ring.
"Dad also hopes that after you come down the mountain, you can appreciate different scenery, live a different life, and live for yourself. Instead of indulging in love and giving up exploring the wider world."
Wen Yi paused holding the teacup, her face flushed slightly, and she couldn't utter a word.
Gu Yifeng's face turned pale instantly.
"But Dad...we didn't do this on a whim." She finally spoke, her voice trembling. "He was the policeman who saved me that year. We..."
Wen Yunzhi put away his smile and said, "You chose someone because he saved your life, so you want to be his wife?"
"I……"
"Or is it that Mr. Gu intends to repay a favor?" Wen Yunzhi looked at Gu Yifeng, hooked his finger, and the diamond ring suddenly left Wen Yi's fingers and fell into his palm.
"Mr. Gu's proposal is a happy occasion, but as someone who has been through this, I still have to tell Mr. Gu that you and Yiyi... are not suitable."
Gu Yifeng pinched his knuckles until they turned white: "Whatever it takes to be suitable, for her, I can do it."
Wen Yunzhi shook his head: "Ordinary people and people with special abilities are not the same kind of people. If they force themselves to be together, they will not be happy. Your injuries have healed, and now, Wen Yi has repaid everything she owes you. Thank you for your love, Mr. Gu, I will take my daughter away first."
He pushed the diamond ring in front of Gu Yifeng: "The diamond ring is beautiful, but Wen never proposed to marry me without a diamond ring. Your sincerity is in vain."
"Dad!" Wen Yi stood up suddenly, her voice trembling, "I want to stay!"
"Yiyi," Wen Yunzhi sighed, tapping the table with his fingertips, "Why force it? You can't change the ending. Don't believe it?"
He suddenly grabbed Wen Yi's wrist and pressed it towards Gu Yifeng's hand, "Then see for yourself."
The moment Wen Yi's fingertips unexpectedly touched Gu Yifeng's pulse, the world reassembled like a broken mirror -
Wen Yi stood in an unfamiliar office in the form of a trace of consciousness.
Gu Yifeng was standing in front of the screen analyzing the case, his every move adding a touch of composure. He was more mature than he was now, the sternness between his brows still there, the years had sculpted his features even deeper, and he looked... good.
She had always had the ability to see the future, but she was unwilling to peer into it. Wen had always valued cause and effect, acting with caution, and she also revered the will of fate.
At this moment, meeting an old friend in the future, Wen Yi's eyes were slightly warm, and she couldn't help but move closer to take a closer look.
A wedding ring gleamed on his left ring finger.
Is he married? Is it to her?
The phone lights up as a reminder.
Gu Yifeng lowered his head and glanced at her, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and a hint of tenderness in his eyes that she had never seen before.
Ni Qianfan's voice came from behind: "Old Gu, the screen is full of suspects, who makes you so happy?"
"Who else could it be? It must be my sister-in-law." Gao Yiyuan took over the conversation. He had cut his hair short and looked a lot more mature.
Gu Yifeng's tone was calm but with a smile on his face: "I'll accompany my wife for the prenatal checkup this afternoon. You guys proceed as planned."
"Pregnant women are the most vulnerable. I understand."
A feeling of tenderness welled up in Wen Yi's heart: They... already have a child?
Her eyes fell on the phone he put down, and the screen that was still on showed:
[14:30 Yiyi's fourth prenatal checkup]
[VIP3 Clinic of the Investigation Bureau Affiliated Hospital]
Wen Yi's heart sank suddenly.
Who is Yi Yi?
With a lot of questions in her mind, Wen Yi followed him all the way to the locker room in a daze.
The iron wardrobe door slowly opened, revealing a hand-painted portrait taped to the inside.
The drawing paper is yellowed and the edges are slightly curled, as if it has been frequently rubbed.
The strange woman in the portrait was leaning against a tree, with almond-shaped eyes and thin lips, completely different from her.
The most eye-catching thing is the words written in the lower right corner of the drawing paper:
Wen Yi's blood froze.
Is this his wife?
Yiyi? It's so close to her name.
What is this? Wanwan Leiqing? Who is the substitute?
Wen Yi suddenly pulled her hand back, and the scene in front of her gradually disappeared.
The water in the teacup was still swaying slightly, and everyone's eyes fell on her.
Gu Yifeng immediately held her hand: "How is it?"
She forced a smile: "It's okay, just a little dizzy."
He frowned and brushed his fingertips across her suddenly pale face: "What did you see?"
Wen Yi opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
That was something that would happen in the future, and Gu Yifeng couldn't give her the answer she wanted right now.
She stood alone on the edge of the cliff of truth, unable to find her direction.
"I think you already have the answer in your mind." Wen Yunzhi stood up and said, "Let's go. We still need to see the forensic doctor you mentioned."
She stood up woodenly, her legs seemed to be filled with lead and she could hardly take a step.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the sparkling diamond ring on the coffee table, and my vision gradually blurred.
"Wait!" She suddenly stopped, her voice stubborn, "Maybe what I saw... isn't the only ending."
Wen Yunzhi looked at her quietly without saying anything.
"I know you want me to see reality," she whispered defensively, "but if this is just a possibility, what if there's still a chance to change it in the future?"
"Wait! Explain yourself clearly!" Gu Yifeng grabbed Wen Yi's hand so hard that it hurt her.
Wen Chi didn't even turn his head, but waved his hand back, his movement as elegant as brushing off the dust on his sleeve.
Gu Yifeng fell on the sofa, as if all his strength had been drained away. He slowly fell backwards. Before he lost consciousness, the scattered hair on his forehead covered the fine lines between his eyebrows.
*
“Drip—drip—”
The rapid ringing of a phone broke the silence.
Gu Yifeng suddenly woke up.
The afterglow of the setting sun had long faded, the tea on the table had gone cold, and he was the only one in the dim room.
There was one more thing on the coffee table—the lonely diamond ring, lying alone in the moonlight.
Wen Yi is gone.
His atria contracted and vibrated violently, and something slammed down heavily into his heart, crushing all his feelings into nothingness.
He numbly grabbed the phone:
"Hello, Lao Gu? Why aren't you answering the phone?" Ni Qianfan's voice came, "The deputy director wants to see you, now! Come to the bureau immediately!"
