Chapter 80: The situation suddenly changed Director Gu asks you to go to the bureau immediately to receive...
The light in the bedroom was soft. Wen Yi leaned on his shoulder and quietly rubbed the place where he was beaten by Guo Qingyu.
Gu Yifeng closed his eyes, breathing steadily, and indulged in this moment of tenderness.
He sighed softly and gently took her into his arms.
In such a night, with her so gentle, I just felt that it was worth it to let that guy beat her a few more times.
But when he thought of Guo Qingyu, jealousy welled up in him again. That fly always managed to find his bottom line, ruining his good mood in an instant with just a word or a look.
He was silent for a moment, but he couldn't help but whisper, "How did you and him know each other? I... don't want to be kept in the dark anymore."
Wen Yi paused slightly, and her fingertips tightened unconsciously.
"Can't you tell me?"
"I'm afraid...if I tell you, it'll cause more misunderstandings." Wen Yi herself didn't know how to explain it. In the previous timeline, Guo Qingyu clearly hated her, didn't he? Why did he seem so reluctant to part with her this time? Were they...really that familiar?
Gu Yifeng suddenly smiled, his tone calm, and he didn't seem to be accusing anyone of this:
"I didn't ask before because I wanted to wait for you to tell me. If you're afraid that if you tell me the truth, I'll distrust you, or even leave you..." He paused. "Then I want you to know that no matter what you say, I won't blame you, nor will I have any misunderstandings about you."
Wen Yi did not answer immediately, but leaned quietly in his arms, feeling each other's heartbeats through their clothes, and the familiar woody scent lingering at the tip of their noses.
The uneasiness in my heart gradually faded, and instead I felt a little bit of attachment.
He didn't urge her, but just bent down and kissed the top of her head, then stood up and walked to a cabinet in the corner.
She looked at his back, a little confused: "What are you looking for?"
He didn't answer, but simply opened the drawer. A moment later, he returned with a dark blue folder and gently opened it in front of her.
A thick stack of papers slipped out from between the pages. They were all of the same specifications, some new and some old, some even slightly yellowed.
She was stunned for a moment: "What... is this?" She glanced at the document, which was printed with "Application Report".
Gu Yifeng picked up one at random, with a slight smile on his face:
"Moon Gap Mountain is a secret base. Only authorized individuals can enter. Every time I went to see you in the past, I had to go through layers of approval before I could enter the mountain."
His tone was calm, and his eyes were filled with tenderness as he looked at her. "Just to see you, I wrote hundreds of application reports for various reasons."
It turned out that during the years of waiting for her to grow up, every meeting they had was paved with application reports.
She was stunned.
"I only get a day off after every work shift. The vacation time is not fixed, it could be one day or three days."
He flipped through the stack of papers. "But I'll drive to see you as long as it's within the authorized hours."
He paused, as if lost in memory:
"From Yunhu Lake to Yuexi Mountain, it's a total of 622 miles. We have to pass through five cities, Yunlan, Yunbin, Yunyue, Yunkang, and finally arrive at Yunzhu, where Yuexi Mountain is located."
"If the traffic is light, it's ten and a half hours one way."
"But every time I go to see you, I drive all night. When I see the sun gradually rising, I am really happy and don't feel tired at all."
"Because I'll be able to see you soon."
He spoke of it as a normal occurrence, as if recalling seeing the sun rise while driving.
"Although each time we met was very short and we couldn't do much, usually just having a meal together and chatting about our recent lives, these were my most precious memories over the years."
Wen Yi was completely speechless. In the years that she didn't know about, someone actually traveled thousands of miles just to see her, regardless of wind or rain.
How many reports were there in that stack? Three hundred? Five hundred?
How many times does he have to go back and forth to connect two impossible entities together?
The thick stack of application reports in his hand fell down with a "swish".
The floor was covered with black and white papers, all of which were signed by him, one by one, "Gu Yifeng".
At this moment, every signature in her eyes turned into a silent pen stroke, falling on every page of her life, perfectly outlining the foreshadowing of his emotions.
The brush strokes left no trace, the ink fell silently, and with every stroke, he wrote her into his world.
Her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and her eyes were slightly red.
He noticed her emotional fluctuations, leaned over and gently kissed her forehead, patted her back, and comforted her: "Why are you crying?"
"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. I won't ask anymore. Even if... even if you two have a friendship in some time and space, I still believe you."
Wen Yi hugged him, raised her head slightly, and kissed his lips lightly: "Gu Yifeng, no matter in the past, there has never been anyone else between us."
"The only person I like is you."
She felt him tremble slightly, and the next second, her body was suddenly pulled into his arms.
She wanted to say something, but he took the initiative and kissed her.
She was kissed so hard that she couldn't speak, but she still tried to say his name: "Um...Gu Yifeng, I like you."
His kiss was fierce and urgent, and when she was almost out of breath, he slowly let her go.
When Gu Yifeng heard the words "I like you", his heart skipped a beat, as if he had heard such words before in his elusive memories.
It wasn't his illusion, he had really heard it somewhere before.
But she had never expressed her love to him directly before.
His wife has always been shy and dared not look at him even when they were intimate. But now, she expressed her love like this.
Maybe... in the gap of some time disturbance, they once loved each other like this.
His heart was beating so fast that he could hardly control himself. As he held her tightly, he began to feel an indescribable anxiety. It was a fear of the unknown and a despair that he could not control his fate.
"What if... the timeline is rewritten again?" The fine lines between his brows deepened, and he didn't know how to relieve his anxiety.
She looked up at him with a firm look in her eyes:
"Even if fate were reversed and time were turned back, I would choose you in every future."
When he heard these words, the anxiety in his heart finally began to slowly dissipate. He finally couldn't help but beg her in a low voice:
"Yiyi, listen to me. Give up that plan with Guo Qingyu. When your health stabilizes, we can go abroad. Or you can go anywhere you want. Is that okay with you?"
Wen Yi was stunned. She slowly withdrew from his arms and looked at his face. His eyes, which were usually calm and composed, were now a little red, showing an expression of fear and helplessness that she had never seen before.
She actually saw fear on his face.
What was he afraid of? Was he afraid that she would be in danger? Or that at some point in time, she would no longer belong to him?
Her throat tightened.
But... where else can they go?
Here are their families, friends, and the fate they can't escape. Can they solve all the problems by just leaving?
She didn't speak.
Gu Yifeng seemed to have guessed her answer. His eyes dimmed and he immediately changed his words: "The doctor told you not to overwork during this period and to get as much rest as possible. I'm afraid your body is not suitable for using your abilities. At least... wait until you give birth to the baby before making any plans? Hmm?"
She looked at him blankly.
Wait? Can you wait?
If higher-dimensional life really exists, perhaps in the blink of an eye, the world will collapse, the land will sink into the sea, and the sea will turn into mulberry fields.
Will they really bring about peace and prosperity and help lovers stay together for the rest of their lives?
"I……"
"Yiyi, don't go!"
The next second, he held her tightly in his arms, perhaps too tightly, and his body trembled slightly.
"I can't bear to wake up one day and you're not here with me. Promise me, okay?"
She was about to speak when she felt a warmth on her neck and couldn't say what she wanted to say.
After a long silence, she heard herself say softly, "Okay... I promise you, after the baby is born..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a hurried knock on the door downstairs.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
They were both startled at the same time, awakened from their current affection.
"Wait for me here." Gu Yifeng frowned and stood up, quickly put away his emotions and walked towards the door.
A strong sense of uneasiness surged in her heart, and Wen Yi followed him without hesitation: "No! I'll go with you!"
In the darkness of night, two men in dark uniforms stood outside the door with serious expressions. They quickly took out black ID cards to identify themselves - they were from the Joint Disciplinary Review and Security Committee.
"Director Gu, our superiors have ordered you to come to the bureau immediately to assist in the investigation."
"What?!" Wen Yi was shocked, and her eyes were full of shock and anxiety when she looked at Gu Yifeng.
He used his eyes to indicate that she was fine, and glanced at the person coming over: "On what grounds?"
One of them spoke, his tone full of strong pressure: "We have received instructions to ask you to cooperate with the investigation into the case of 'Ms. Shen Wanqing concealing her identity as a superpower'."
Gu Yifeng was stunned.
Wen Yi looked at them in confusion.
Shen Wanqing, a current cabinet member, is the leader of the development faction. She is also the one who promoted Gu Yifeng all the way to become the director of the Tenth Bureau.
The other party continued, "Ms. Shen Wanqing has been suspended from her duties this morning and is undergoing a special investigation. According to verification, she has been confirmed to be an SSS-level psychic. However, during her tenure, she never declared her psychic status and repeatedly promoted major policies that affected the interests of psychics."
Another man took over, his tone even sharper:
"Director Gu, as the head of the Tenth Bureau of the Supernatural Management Bureau, you are directly responsible for supervising supernatural affairs across the country."
"You have participated in and signed the implementation process of the above policy many times. We now suspect that, knowing Shen Wanqing's true identity, you still chose to assist her in concealing the information, suspected of abusing your power and using your power for personal gain, paving the way for the superpower group."
“This is a systemic review of the entire development faction.”
"Please come with us immediately."
Gu Yifeng stood at the door, his expression neither surprised nor angry, only a slight frown. He did not move immediately, but turned back to look at Wen Yi.
Wen Yi stood at the entrance, her face pale and her fingertips trembling slightly.
He turned his gaze back and discussed, "Can I go with you later? My wife is not feeling well, and I don't feel comfortable leaving her alone."
The man in uniform frowned slightly: "Director Gu, now is not the time to negotiate terms."
Wen Yi suddenly felt a dull pain coming from her abdomen. She subconsciously held onto the wall and gently stroked her lower abdomen.
"Yi Yi?" Gu Yifeng immediately noticed her abnormality and quickly turned around to support her.
She bit her lip and managed to squeeze out a sentence: "It's okay..." His voice came through her chest, "Don't be afraid."
He looked up and said to the people outside the door, "I can go with you. But I have to make arrangements with her first."
"Please give her some space."
The other party didn't say anything more, just nodded coldly: "Five minutes."
The door closed softly behind him.
Gu Yifeng carefully picked her up and placed her on the sofa. He half-knelt down, held her face in his hands, and said in a very low voice: "Listen to me, contact Wen Chi right now. Ask him to take you back to the mountains."
"Remember, you must never let anyone find out that you have special abilities."
Wen Yi's lips trembled, tears welling in her eyes: "What about you? How could this happen?"
He looked at her deeply, his eyes gentle and firm:
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'll come back and pick you up."
Wen Yi never expected that the political struggle they had just been discussing would come upon them so soon, breaking out even faster than the crisis at the nuclear power plant, and intensifying.
She watched Gu Yifeng being taken away, but she didn't know what else she could do.
After leaving Yuexi Mountain, he had been the one protecting her. Now that Gu Yifeng was in trouble, she had no power to protect him in return. Her lips and hands were trembling with anger. At this moment, she wished she could let the power in her body surge unchecked and crush this crazy world to pieces.
But remembering what he had said before he left, she forced herself to hold it back. The future of people with special abilities was uncertain, and she couldn't let her impulses ruin all the hard work he had put in over the years. But she couldn't sit still.
He walked step by step to the gate of the yard, staring at the two men taking him away.
Although they said "please", their actions were very rude, and they treated us like convicted criminals without any respect.
She really couldn't bear to see the always arrogant Gu Yifeng being treated like this. Just as she was about to look away, she saw him look back at her before getting into the car.
That glance back was filled with reluctance and helplessness. She was actually hurt by this look, the pain went all the way to the bottom of her heart, and she wanted to cry out loud.
When Gu Yifeng heard the words "joint review team", he was actually mentally prepared and had made plans for the worst.
Those old conservatives had been waiting for this day for a long time. They took advantage of the exposure of the party leader's identity and tried their best to destroy him before the election.
I'm afraid it will be very dangerous if I go in this time.
He wanted to give Wen Yi a few more words of advice before leaving, but the words were on the tip of his tongue and he swallowed them back. If he really said these words, what if she got frightened and something happened to the adults and children?
He even made up his mind not to look back at her, but before getting on the car, he couldn't help but looked back at her from a distance.
She was standing alone at the door, her figure frail. In his eyes, she looked like a child, yet she carried so much. Gu Yifeng couldn't help but look away. He had clearly promised to protect her and give her a stable and happy life. But now, he had broken his promise. He deliberately ignored the gaze behind him and got into the car.
Wen Yi withdrew her gaze and returned to the bedroom in a daze. Seeing the reports scattered on the floor, she held back the tears in her eyes, bent down to pick up the reports one by one and put them away. However, when she put the reports back into the cabinet, she unexpectedly saw a file.
Her file.
All resumes, household registration information, and family background from elementary school to university were replaced with a completely different "fake identity."
She stared blankly at the document in front of her. There was no doubt that he had prepared it for her.
If she hadn't had these, she would probably have been taken away for quarantine and investigation as well. But she would rather be taken away than suffer here alone.
After a long night of tossing and turning, Wen Yi fell asleep near dawn and woke up in the afternoon. Half asleep, she subconsciously reached out to touch the person nearby, but didn't see the familiar figure. She woke up instantly, her heart sinking and her whole body freezing.
She curled up alone in her bed, finally curling into a ball, still unable to resist the bone-chilling cold. She fumbled for her phone to contact Wen Chi, but found that there was no signal. Wen Yi sneered inwardly, it turned out that they still had no intention of letting her go.
Wen Yi was taken away by the Disciplinary Committee to assist in the investigation the next day.
There were no windows in the interrogation room, and the glaring white light was chilling. Wen Yi sat on the cold chair, not knowing whether it was day or night outside.
Before leaving, those people asked her to confess the facts - every detail of her acquaintance with Gu Yifeng and any work-related information he inadvertently revealed.
But she didn't have the answers they wanted.
In other words, even if she had it, she would never give it to these people.
She didn't know where Gu Yifeng was at the moment, or whether he was experiencing the same torment.
The cursor on the tablet flickered, and my fingertips unconsciously caressed the edge of the tablet. Hours passed, and the page remained blank.
There were footsteps outside the door, and a new round of interrogation was about to begin. Wen Yi took a deep breath and tried to straighten her back.
The moment the door opened, Wen Yi subconsciously narrowed her eyes, then opened them wide.
Guo Qingyu stood at the door, followed by a few people from the Discipline Inspection Commission. They left after giving a few brief instructions.
Once the door closed, they were the only two left in the interrogation room.
"Why are you here?" Wen Yi's voice was a little hoarse after not speaking for a long time.
"Your throat is hoarse. Drink some water first." Guo Qingyu silently pushed the water on the table in front of her. "Drink it and follow me."
"Are you here to pick me up?" Wen Yi slowly stood up, her legs numb from sitting for so long. "Where are we going?"
"I applied to the higher-ups, saying that I need you to participate in the core part of the Tracing Micro Project."
"What about him? Is he okay?" She took an anxious step towards him.
Guo Qingyu looked at her with a half-smile: "It was not easy for me to rescue you, and you still have time to care about him? Anyway, let's get out of here first."
After leaving the interrogation room, I realized it was already late at night and raining. The car drove through the rain and headed towards the Suwei Laboratory.
"Do you know where he is?" She knew that Gu Yifeng was in a bad situation, but now she had no one else to ask except Guo Qingyu.
"Don't ask." Guo Qingyu's tone suddenly turned cold. He turned his head and looked at her with a dark look in his eyes. "All you can do now is take care of yourself."
"But if you take me away, aren't you telling them my identity in disguise?" Her voice trembled slightly. "Will Gu Yifeng's situation be worse?"
Guo Qingyu chuckled. "So what if they know? The conservatives are so powerful now, and his situation can't be good. As long as you're okay, his situation is not within my consideration."
His fingers tapped a light rhythm on the steering wheel, as if he suddenly remembered something, and his tone was a little playful: "What did I say before, he can't protect you? You still have to rely on me at the critical moment." He finally got the chance and quickly added insult to injury.
Wen Yi really didn't like to hear this, so she turned to look out the window, silently watching the rain meandering down the glass.
Neither of the people in the car spoke anymore, only the regular sound of the wipers could be heard.
"Cooperate with me to advance the Tracing Project. This is our top priority." He said softly.
The outline of the laboratory building gradually emerged in the distance. Wen Yi looked at the light and thought to herself that she knew what to do now. There was no turning back. She had to take a gamble. It was her only chance to save herself and possibly break the deadlock.
