Chapter 30
Jiang Youqi was on the way to send Gu Tanxi home.
Neither of them spoke.
It's a bit awkward if it's too quiet.
There was a long silence, and it was Jiang Youqi who broke it first.
"Do your parents know about our marriage?"
Gu Tanxi sighed for a moment before answering, "I don't know. My mom is gone. My dad and stepmother don't care who I marry, so there's no need to tell them."
"So." Jiang Youqi didn't expect her life experience to be like this.
It turns out that there is a stepmother in the family.
"Well, do your parents know?" Gu Tanxi asked.
"I know. I sent them a marriage certificate."
"Did they say anything?"
"I suspected that I bought a fake certificate to deceive them."
"Ha...your parents are pushing you to get married, haven't they introduced you to anyone?"
"Yes, but I don't have time, and I don't want to find a partner through blind dates. I'll just go with the flow. It's not like you have to get married to survive."
"I also think that it would be great if I had money. I could live a good life."
In this respect, the two of them are still very similar.
Marriage requires a lot of fate to make it through.
Gu Tanxi comes from a broken family, so she has a vague concept of home and even a little resistance to it.
She actually doesn't desire a family in the traditional sense, or a family of three. She doesn't expect that.
Perhaps it is because I have never felt happiness and joy from a well-off family of three.
So she wouldn't expect it.
Over the years of her life, she has long known that she has to rely on herself for everything.
It’s not a big problem if there’s no one to help or love you in life.
As long as you have money, you can enjoy a convenient life in today's society.
So she wants to make money and become stronger.
I want to become stronger and make more money.
"Can I enter the secret realm you mentioned?"
Gu Tanxi had never paid attention to this kind of information before.
The secret realm shouldn't be a place that anyone can visit, otherwise why has she never encountered it before?
"The secret realm is too dangerous. Many people who go there can't come back, so the country has strictly controlled the secret realm. If you want to enter the secret realm, you need to apply. The Ability Bureau has the privilege to enter. If you want to go, I can take you there, but it's not safe inside, although it can increase the ability index."
"Have you been there?"
“Yes.”
“How many times have you been there?”
"About seven or eight times."
"If you can come out safely, then it should be safe for me to follow you."
Gu Tanxi's calculations were in full swing. If he wanted to cling to someone powerful, he would have to cling to a thick one.
Jiang Youqi: "The secret realm can only be entered twice a year, and the most recent time is on the 15th of next month. If you want to go, prepare some equipment."
"What equipment do you need?"
"I'll give you a list later and you can buy according to it."
“No problem!”
Jiang Youqi sent Gu Tanxi downstairs to his home and had no intention of going upstairs to sit for a while.
Gu Tanxi was too embarrassed to ask him to go upstairs. She had been too busy these days and hadn't tidied the house. Not only was it a mess, but there was also her hair that shed every day on the floor.
I didn't have time to sweep it.
"Then I'll go up first. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
"Don't be polite with me. Go upstairs. Call me if you have anything."
"Well, thank you."
Jiang Youqi waited for her to go upstairs and stayed downstairs for about ten minutes.
I drove away when I didn't see any movement from her.
Gu Tanxi watched the car drive away from the window.
When she turned around, she saw the handsome man on the sofa looking at her with jealousy.
"You're going to scare me to death."
The handsome man on the sofa pouted and suddenly grabbed his collar with both hands and pulled it to both sides.
Showing off his big pecs.
"Am I not good looking anymore? Look at other men!"
"You, you, you... put it on, put it on. Don't watch skits when I'm not home, okay? What weird things are you learning?"
Gu Tanxi quickly covered his face and walked around him without leaving.
The handsome man on the sofa smiled and followed her happily.
"That man saved you last time. Do you want to marry him?"
"We're already married, and he's my contracted husband. Can't you see that?"
"Ah..." The handsome man on the sofa stood there stiffly, "He is quite good-looking."
"Really?" Gu Tanxi laughed at him, "You're really confident. I want to learn from you."
The handsome man on the sofa felt that he was being praised and came to Gu Tanxi with a happy smile.
"whee!"
Gu Tanxi was amused by him: "Are you a naive person?"
The handsome man on the sofa twitched his lips.
“It’s not impossible.”
The refrigerator man opened the door.
"What would you like to drink today?"
"I'd like a cup of yogurt. Do you have any left?" Gu Tanxi asked.
"Yes, here's the last one, blueberry flavor." The refrigerator man floated over holding yogurt.
Gu Tanxi took the yogurt and praised the little Q-man in the refrigerator: "You are awesome."
The dark green bubbles on the ground and walls had been eaten clean by her vines.
There is no sign on the ground now that those things once existed.
Gu Tanxi lay down on the sofa like Ge You.
Living alone at home is relaxing and comfortable.
While drinking yogurt, she took the laptop, plugged in the USB drive, and downloaded everything in it to her computer.
Then I took my tablet and searched the Internet for information about the secret realm.
The secret realm appears after humans awaken their superpowers.
There are currently only more than 30 known secret realms in the world.
There are eight of them in Yan Country.
The secret realm is dangerous and is surrounded by the state as soon as it appears. No one is allowed to enter without permission.
In order to avoid causing panic, this topic is also prohibited from discussion on the entire Internet.
Therefore, many posts are not promoted and can only be found by searching specifically.
There is a secret place column on the national website, but it only contains the location of the secret place and a summary of the secret place, and the number of words is very short.
There is no report on what the secret realm is like.
There are a lot of introductions about the secret realm in other posts.
Some say there are monsters inside and there are treasures on the monsters, some say there are treasures inside, and some say it can enhance the superpowers of those with superpowers.
Just go in and stay.
But in dangerous places, even if you stay there, you may be attacked by monsters and die.
There are also some more terrifying posts, saying that the existence of the secret realm is just like in urban fantasy novels, and one day the monsters in it will run out and eat everyone.
After reading a few posts, Gu Tanxi understood why the country wanted to limit the number of posts like this.
This will really cause panic among the people.
There was a ding sound.
Jiang Youqi sent her a list of equipment needed to enter the secret realm.
Gu Tanxi replied: "Thanks, I'll buy it right away!"
I saw that there was a request on the list for a flashlight with long battery life.
Gu Tanxi wondered, is there no light in the secret realm?
But at this point, she chose to blindly believe Jiang Youqi.
Just buy it.
＊
Wu Yuni’s boyfriend Liu Yaoxin only came to the police station the next day.
His short hair was parted on the side and was a little messy. His face looked a little haggard and he had even grown some stubble.
It was obvious that he had just returned from a business trip and came here directly without any time to tidy himself up.
The police took him to the morgue.
When Liu Yaoxin saw Wu Yuni in the cold morgue, he knelt down with a thud and grabbed Wu Yuni's stiff hand.
He leaned his head against the metal bed.
Tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Xiaoyu...Xiaoyu...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."
The police officer beside him asked perceptively in a low voice: "Why do you want to say sorry?"
Liu Yaoxin raised his head slightly and looked at his girlfriend who was already dead.
"If I hadn't gone on the business trip, she wouldn't have had the chance to be with that man, and she wouldn't have died. Who killed her? Was it the adulterer? Was it Duan Jiaheng who killed Xiaoyu, right?"
"Duan Jiaheng is the person who reported the case. Wu Yuni's cause of death was an unknown supernatural power that shattered her brain. Duan Jiaheng doesn't have supernatural powers, so the murderer must be someone else." The police officer whispered, "You should say your final goodbyes to her. Her parents will take her away for burial this afternoon."
The police officer said this and stepped out, giving them some time alone.
As soon as the police officer turned around, Liu Yaoxin started crying.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu... What will I do if you leave? We both agreed to get married, why are you doing this to me... Wuwuwu..."
Liu Yaoxin lowered his head and cried.
He cried for a while, looked out the door, and then looked at the walls around him.
No cameras found.
He stood up and slowly approached Wu Yuni's ear.
The sadness disappeared, and instead anger appeared on his brows.
"You actually betrayed me and cheated on me, you deserve it!"
＊
Liu Yaoxin walked out in a daze and happened to meet Wu Yuni's parents who came to claim the body.
When the two elders saw Liu Yaoxin, their faces looked unhappy.
“Son-in-law…” Shen Cuilan called out.
"Son-in-law?" Liu Yaoxin sneered sadly, "I'm not. She likes Duan Jiaheng, the rich second-generation, not someone like me... Aunt, uncle, we're not destined to be together."
Wu Yuni's parents felt even more distressed when they saw the sad, haggard and pitiful Liu Yaoxin.
They all think Liu Yaoxin is a good person, honest and hardworking. Every time he comes to their house, he helps with housework, doing laundry and cooking, and he does everything very well.
Liu Yaoxin graduated from a prestigious university and has a bright future in a large company. Although his parents are no longer around, Wu Yuni's parents don't mind and think it's better this way as there is no need to deal with the mother-in-law-daughter-in-law relationship.
But her own daughter doesn't cherish him and insists on getting involved with the rich second generation.
He lost his life.
Shen Cuilan came over and took Liu Yaoxin's hand, saying apologetically, "Ayao, it's my daughter who's wronged you, it's our family who's wronged you. My daughter is gone, can you please stop blaming her?"
Liu Yaoxin lowered his eyes and slowly pulled his hand back.
"Auntie, I don't blame her. It was her choice. She and I didn't get married. She had the right to choose. She just didn't choose me."
Liu Yaoxin still seemed so sensible at this time.
This made Wu Yuni's parents even more sad. Why didn't their daughter know how to cherish such a man?
Liu Yaoxin followed the police officer dejectedly as he took his statement.
Wu Yuni's parents went to complete the procedures and took their daughter home crying.
When the car came out of the police station, Gu Tanxi took a taxi and got off at the door of the Supernatural Bureau.
She looked at Wu Yuni's parents, and they looked much worse today than they did yesterday.
Neither of them had so many white hairs yesterday, but today, both of them have gray hair.
It turns out that people can really turn gray overnight.

"Sister Gu, you're here?"
Gu Tanxi went upstairs and met Xie Bei in the corridor.
Xie Bei came over and took her to the team's office.
He whispered stealthily, "Your team is not here today, you can come and play with us."
"Wouldn't it be bad to do this every day?"
"No, no, you are just a brick. You can be moved wherever you are needed. We need you." Xie Bei said with a smile.
"You kid, you're really good at talking." Gu Tanxi was coaxed by Xie Bei's younger brother and couldn't refuse, so he came to help him with the case again.
The big table was filled with documents.
Xie Bei said, "I sorted this out last night, take a look."
All the details of the locked room murder case five years ago and the recent Wu Yuni murder case were sorted out and placed on the table.
Xu Shaolin came over and handed Gu Tanxi a cup of coffee.
He also held a cup in his hand, sitting sideways at the table, and said, "The boss has applied for a combined investigation of the two cases. You will investigate this case with us from now on."
"Is that so? No problem. Have you found out who those three kids were playing the game with?" Gu Tanxi asked.
"No," Xie Bei said regretfully. "Back then, no one suspected it was the wiring, so the game only recorded it as the Star Wars team. There's no detailed record, including their game accounts. Right now, there's no way to find out who played the game with them."
"What about the game company?" Xu Shaolin asked.
"That game has been discontinued... I don't know if there is any data left. I have asked someone to look for it, but I'm afraid there will be no news for a while." Xie Bei shrugged.
Gu Tanxi said: "Then let's start with Wu Yuni."
Xu Shaolin said: "Wu Yuni's social relationships are relatively simple. She is an only child. Her father is a civil servant and her mother is a music teacher. She is kind to others and has no enemies. This rules out the possibility that she is seeking revenge from her parents. Wu Yuni herself has no enemies either. The only thing that caused her to have animosity was that she betrayed her boyfriend Liu Yaoxin and got together with Duan Jiaheng, the young master of her current company, Yuheng Group.
Duan Jiaheng is a playboy. He doesn't have a serious girlfriend, but he has many bed partners.
In the past three months, he has checked into hotels with nineteen women, including Wu Yuni.
"How much?" Gu Tanxi exclaimed.
Xu Shaolin was getting excited. "Nineteen of them, all young beauties between twenty and thirty years old. Wow... rich second-generations really... enjoy life."
Gu Tanxi was stunned: "Isn't he afraid of getting sick? Nineteen different ones in three months."
Xie Bei teased: "Even the emperor isn't as good at flipping cards as him, right?"
Xu Shaolin: "Isn't it? Wu Yuni and Duan Jiaheng first checked into a hotel room two months ago, on July 19th. During that time, they checked into a hotel room thirteen times. This is Liu Yaoxin's statement. He said he only started to suspect Wu Yuni and Duan Jiaheng were having an affair two weeks ago. He asked Wu Yuni about it, but she denied it."
