Chu Liyue held Xiao Wujie tenderly and affectionately for a while, but in the end, Xiao Wujie was completely defeated.
Chu Liyue smiled as she watched Xiao Wujie whimpering, burying himself in her arms and refusing to look up, his exposed ear tips burning red.
Tsk~
Fortunately, this smart, beautiful, obedient, and adorable little darling is hers.
It's so funny how I tease the little one until he whines and can't even lift his head.
A knocking sound came from outside. Chu Liyue raised her cold eyes, which were once again covered with frost and sharpness. She said in a cold voice, "Come in."
Lu Zhufeng, always dressed in a black suit, strode into the room, rubbed his cold, red hands, and quickly walked to the bedside.
Chu Liyue frowned slightly. "Is it that cold outside?"
Lu Zhufeng pulled up a chair and sat down, then rubbed his cold, numb ear tips, and complained:
"It's unbelievable! In just a few hours, the outside temperature has dropped below five degrees Celsius."
"When I came here this morning it was around 10 degrees Celsius. The weather changes faster than a woman's face."
Chu Liyue narrowed her eyes slightly, her voice turning cold, "No news from the weather station?"
Lu Zhufeng rubbed his hands, looking somewhat speechless, and said, "No, the weather forecast from the meteorological station says it's in the teens."
With a glint in his eyes, he gestured toward Xiao Wujie, who was nestled in Chu Liyue's arms, and quickly said, "I've already sent someone to buy a few more down jackets for this pretentious guy."
He then changed the subject, his voice suddenly filled with speechlessness and disdain: "Whether this pretentious person wants to wear it or not is another matter."
He got more and more excited as he talked, and with a high-pitched voice and a sarcastic tone, he said, "After all, this thing is ugly~"
"Who is worthy of the exquisite so-and-so?"
"What's that saying again—'You can lose your head, but you can't mess up your hairstyle; you can shed blood, but you must polish your shoes.'"
Xiao Wujie, his face buried in Chu Liyue's arms, slowly turned his head to look at him, his gaze cool and aloof, making Lu Zhufeng's whole body goosebumps and his bones go weak.
He shrank back slightly, forced a smile, and waved his hand gently:
"Well, just pretend I was talking nonsense."
Xiao Wujie said in a cool tone, "You're farting way too much. I hope you can hold it in."
Lu Zhufeng sneered and nodded in pleading.
Xiao Wujie nestled in Chu Liyue's arms and gently called her name, but saw that her eyes were deep and thoughtful, and he was momentarily lost in thought.
He lightly bit his lip, then grabbed one of her hands and slipped it under the covers, slowly exploring beneath his clothes, its surface gently tracing his well-defined abdominal muscles, his cheek lightly brushing against her shoulder.
Chu Liyue then came to her senses and looked down at him.
Xiao Wujie asked in a low, soft voice, "Sister, what's wrong? Is something the problem?"
Chu Liyue pulled her hand away from his grasp, her warm fingertips gently caressing his lips, her brows slightly furrowed.
"It just feels like the temperature has dropped abnormally."
Lu Zhufeng casually remarked, "Unexpected things can happen at any time; we might just be unlucky enough to be caught in the crossfire."
"It can't be artificial cold air."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Liyue suddenly looked up at him.
Lu Zhufeng felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze and stammered, "I was just saying it casually, there's no way there's really such a thing, is there?"
Chu Liyue gently pinched Xiao Wujie's earlobe, her eyes darkening slightly, and she spoke slowly and coldly:
"Because of the intensification of global warming, God has been a pioneer in exploring ways to combat the backlash from nature."
“There was once a project called the ‘Bingxin Project’, which was dedicated to developing a technology that could rapidly reduce atmospheric temperature.”
"By releasing a special type of nanoparticle into the upper atmosphere, these particles can reflect solar radiation in a short time, thereby achieving a localized rapid cooling effect."
Xiao Wujie raised a slight brow, his words revealing deep contemplation, "Sister believes... those people are up to no good."
Chu Liyue looked back at him, gently stroking the corner of his eye. After a moment, she spoke slowly and coldly:
"The extent of the temperature drop cannot be fully determined yet, but what if the temperature continues to drop..."
She didn't say anything more.
Lu Zhufeng frowned and quickly said, "I'll arrange for someone to test the content of that particle immediately."
"We will notify you immediately if anything goes wrong."
Chu Liyue nodded heavily and looked at him. "You must have something to say to me."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhufeng nodded hurriedly, unfolded the A4 paper he had rolled into a cylinder, and was about to speak when his gaze suddenly wandered to the surroundings of the room.
Chu Liyue saw through his thoughts at a glance and said in a low, cold voice, "Don't worry, I've already checked, there are no surveillance or listening devices."
Lu Zhufeng instantly breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes turning serious as he spoke in a deep voice:
"That pretentious woman made me investigate Gu Junci's family, and sure enough, there was a problem."
He looked down at the compiled information in his hand and said quickly, "Gu Junci's mother learned half a year ago that Gu Junci's father had avenged his father and committed suicide out of love."
"Gu Junci had a second younger sister who died in a car accident after she was overwhelmed with grief following her mother's death."
"Gu Junci's so-called closest family members actually only have one younger brother left."
"Most of the victims in this massacre were collateral relatives of Gu Junci, and there is information that Gu Junci's younger brother had been almost never seen before the murder occurred a month before the incident."
"But the veracity of this news remains to be verified. Meanwhile, I have already sent Yunmo and Chuwan to the police station morgue to conduct an autopsy."
"If there are problems with the body, this news can be confirmed."
Chu Liyue gently cupped Xiao Wujie's face and asked with a focused gaze, "My dear, do you also feel that there's something wrong with Gu Junci?"
Xiao Wujie's sharply defined chin rested lightly on Chu Liyue's palm, his brows showing a hint of obedience, but his gaze grew increasingly profound as he slowly spoke:
"She was consciously avoiding my gaze, as if she was afraid I would use illusion magic to read her memories."
“I kept provoking her with words and observing her reaction, but her reaction was not right.”
“I had close contact with her before. She cared extremely much about her three closest relatives, and even went so far as to slaughter the entire direct line of the Gu family for them.”
"But her reaction was too calm, not like it was driven by hatred, but more like she was being coerced by something else."
Xiao Wujie narrowed his eyes slightly, a thoughtful look in his eyes, "She might even be deliberately giving me a weakness..."
A moment of silence fell over the room.
"Damn it, what kind of mess is this? It's a complete tangled mess, and you're making me dizzy."
Lu Zhufeng slapped his forehead, his face full of frustration.
Chu Liyue lowered her eyes slightly, her voice cold and deep:
"Possibility 1: Although the reason for the massacre of the Gu family is unclear, Gu Junci's purpose was only revenge, and Gu Junci did not participate in the scheme."
"Possibility Two: The massacre of the Gu family is just a facade. Gu Junci's lifeline has been seized, and he has become a pawn. There are other schemes behind this."
"But these are only the things we can see at the moment..."
