Regarding the matter of awakening lightning abilities after transformation

Using the same ladle, Su Wanxi ladled out more porridge and tasted it herself. The porridge was warm, light, and slightly sweet.

"No need... the subway is quite convenient..." Gu Cheng glanced out the window. The sun had just risen, and the faint beams of light refracted and flickered between the buildings.

The route from the villa to the apartment requires a detour, which means Su Wanxi has to get up early every day like this.

“I want to spend more time with you,” she said.

Sensing the doting tone in Su Wanxi's words, Gu Cheng narrowed his eyes and hugged her.

"Okay." With his wife spoiling him so much, what reason did he have to refuse?

After breakfast, Su Wanxi waited for Gu Cheng to change her clothes before heading to the office building together.

......

"The recovery is going well." Zhou Li lowered his wooden sword and looked at Gu Cheng with satisfaction.

The girl held an alloy dagger, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, but fortunately her breathing was long and steady, and her steps were firm, indicating that she still had the strength to fight.

"Orange, take a break..." The girl was dressed in an exquisite JK uniform, with white knee-high stockings and black leather shoes, exuding youthful energy.

Qin Kexin had no classes in the morning, so she came over to fill up her weekly training hours. Su Wanxi greeted them and then went upstairs to report on her work.

"Mmm." Taking the bottled water from the girl, Gu Cheng sat down on the inflatable cushion to rest for a while.

"Too slow. You should have dodged to the right the moment Zhou Li raised his leg, and at the same time elbowed his arm joint..." A female voice echoed in my mind.

Gu Cheng chose to raise her knee to take the hit, but was subdued by the opponent in the next second, with the wooden knife only centimeters away from her neck.

"I know..." Looking back, she knew that her actions were not the optimal solution, but theory is one thing, but in actual combat, instinct plays a bigger role.

Unlike Gu Cheng, Gu Chengyan didn't need to consider everything. She only needed to keep an eye on Zhou Li and think of countermeasures at all times.

“Qin Kexin is a speed-type athlete just like you...you can learn from her reactions…” After taking a sip of mineral water, the girl flexed her wrists a few times and focused intently on the field.

"Ali, be gentle... I have class this afternoon." Qin Kexin pouted slightly and slowly untied her scarf.

Zhou Li chuckled softly and slowly raised his wooden sword: "Be careful."

With a powerful kick, a gust of wind quickly approached the girl. Training should be a separate matter; being disciplined now was far safer than being in the crevice.

......

On the top floor of the office building, Su Wanxi, wearing a suit jacket, rested her slender, pale fingertips on a thick stack of documents.

Song Shiyan sat leaning against the desk opposite him, with white bandages still attached to his calves.

Shot at extremely close range by an M1911 pistol, the bullet pierced the man's leg bone in two. There is an old Chinese saying that it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. Even an Awakened with exceptional physical abilities would need more than a month to recover. Song Shiyan is currently working while injured.

"Zhucang Province is already aware of the Awakened's death, and they hope to obtain more accurate information on the crack handling." Song Shiyan, wearing black-rimmed glasses, held a metal pen in his hand.

Su Wanxi frowned slightly: "My combat data should be sufficient to explain..."

Although she fell into a coma due to the tranquilizer bullet, the scene could still be reconstructed based on the descriptions of other people present.

The two awakened individuals in Zhucang Province turned against each other, and Gu Cheng carried out their executions.

"Some people believe that the document is suspected of being forged."

"Suspicion? Xu Bai's mutated limbs bear Gu Cheng's blood, and the cut marks on the wounds match those of the bone blade..."

Before he finished speaking, Song Shiyan showed Su Wanxi the investigation report from Zhucang Province.

"Xu Baifang acted in self-defense, yet he's suing Gu Cheng for intentional homicide... Tsk, what audacity..."

Ignoring the facts and distorting the truth, they simply don't take her seriously. Su Wanxi spat lightly, her clear eyes flashing with anger.

"Because your testimony is similar to that of Mr. Zhang Yizhe, Director Cheng has voluntarily rejected this proposal."

That being said, it's clear to anyone with eyes to see that the Hermit Bureau's concern isn't about the testimonies, but rather about the Su and Zhang families.

With her beautiful brows furrowed slightly, Su Wanxi twisted the corner of the paper, her knuckles gradually turning white.

She had been in Lanjiang alone for more than four years, thinking she had finally broken free from her constraints, but in the end she still had to rely on her family background... Thinking of her nominal father, Su Wanxi felt a mix of emotions.

Song Shiyan touched his graying temples and said in a low voice, "His body was charred in many places, and there were obvious signs of electric shock. What really caused Xu Bai's death was not the Magnum bullet that pierced his chest, but the direct current carrying high voltage."

"It fits the testimony well, but I'm more curious about this..."

He handed the photo, which was tucked under the document, to Su Wanxi, who accepted it expressionlessly.

The photo shows a smooth bone blade, covered with dried bloodstains, with a delicate hole in the very center.

"The hole is slightly larger than the caliber of a Magnum bullet, but no heated samples were collected from the nearby bone layer..."

"What do you mean?" Su Wanxi vaguely guessed something, and swallowed slightly with her fair swan neck.

"I suspect Gu Cheng has a second ability..." The man's words struck Su Wanxi's heart like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.

Combined with the girl's previous experience of being modified by a submerged creature, all the information points directly to this point.

If the speculation is correct, Gu Cheng will be the first person in Chinese history to possess dual abilities, and will also greatly promote the country's research into superpowers...

"How far have you progressed in your investigation of her?" The deep male voice pulled Su Wanxi out of her thoughts, but she remained outwardly calm.

"It's still the same as before, and we haven't found anything unusual."

A supernatural research institute... Gu Cheng isn't suited to go to that kind of place...

Thinking of those light brown eyes that always shone with light, Su Wanxi's heart had already tipped. Or rather, on the very night she revised the data, she decided to keep this matter a secret.

Chapter 156, Section 160: Suddenly Wanting to Learn to Knit a Scarf

"Standing training is so tiring, can't Ali go easy on me a little more..." Qin Kexin complained in a coquettish voice as she pulled up her over-the-knee socks that had slipped down during the fight.

Gu Cheng glanced at the girl's reddened arm and gently handed her a bottle of water: "Thank you for your hard work~"

Qin Kexin spent the entire morning training, her fair face flushed.

Since dealing with the strong neutral rift, Zhou Li has assigned her increasingly heavy combat tasks. Before, she could pass the time by acting cute, but now she doesn't have a single spare moment.

Gu Cheng could easily understand the man's purpose in doing this; Qin Kexin was slacking off all day and was too lazy in her training with the Hermit Bureau.

If Zhou Li hadn't been quick with his knife, the young woman in front of him certainly wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed from Li Wenhai's grasp.

"Waaah... Chengzi still cares about me the most. Ah Li is so heartless." Qin Kexin took a few sips of water and unconsciously wrapped her arm around Gu Cheng's arm.

As a married woman, the latter trembled slightly and subconsciously tried to pull her arm away. Qin Kexin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly seemed to remember something and grabbed her tightly, her lips bringing close to Gu Cheng's ear.

"Orange, Orange~ What stage have you and Sister Xi reached?"

"Which step?" Gu Cheng asked knowingly, her slightly red earlobes betraying her true thoughts.

Qin Kexin lowered her voice, her already clear, childlike tone becoming even sweeter: "Of course... whether or not we've 'that' ever happened~"

She gently bit down with her teeth, pausing slightly at the two most shameful words.

"What nonsense are you thinking..." Gu Cheng whispered in protest, her legs pressed together against the air cushion as she gently rubbed them.

"So that happened~ Who was on top? You or Sister Xi? How did you operate it..." Qin Kexin was extremely curious, and the discordant scene swirled in her little head.

Although it's highly likely to happen in the next few days, Gu Cheng felt it was still necessary to explain things clearly.

Grasping Qin Kexin's wrist, the girl looked at her shyly, her tone exceptionally firm: "No!"

Unbeknownst to either of them, Su Wanxi had already finished her report. She simply stood quietly at the entrance of the training room, her gaze fixed on Gu Cheng and Qin Kexin's clasped hands.

From her perspective, her lover's cheeks were flushed, and his blush extended to his ears, making him look exactly like a young girl in the throes of first love.

Do we need to hold hands while chatting? Since meeting Gu Cheng, Su Wanxi has felt this sour feeling more than once. She pursed her cherry lips and quietly sat down behind the two of them.

......

Having finally straightened out the mind of that lewd little girl, Gu Cheng felt utterly exhausted, so she let the other girl hang on her arm like a koala.

"So you're moving in with Sister Xi next week?"

"Mmm." The blush gradually faded, and her tone returned to calm.

Su Wanxi's villa is very large; a quick glance reveals several empty rooms, so it would definitely not be crowded if you moved in.

"Sigh... I also want to move out with Ali, but he just won't agree." Qin Kexin kicked her little leather shoes, her brows furrowed with helplessness.

“Uncle Zhou might be a bit traditional,” Gu Cheng guessed. Although they were supposed to be a couple, their way of getting along was more like that of siblings, which did seem strange.

"I think he's sexually frigid." Qin Kexin rested her chin on one hand, her alluring legs, encased in white over-the-knee socks, slightly stretched out.

The girl's surprising statement left Gu Cheng speechless, so she could only awkwardly maintain a smile.

"Even kissing requires the woman to initiate, and it's just a kiss on the forehead, not the lips... What a blockhead..."

The girl nodded in agreement with Qin Kexin's opinion, saying that it was indeed better for the man to take the initiative when kissing.

Wait... why does Su Wanxi like to kiss her so much? Gu Cheng belatedly realized.

Recalling her few attempts to "counterattack," almost all of them ended in failure. Su Wanxi's offensive was too fierce; she was quickly overwhelmed by his kisses, even though she was supposed to be the dominant one in the relationship...

"So annoying... Orange is still the best to me." Despite saying this, Qin Kexin's eyes were still involuntarily fixed on the field.

Qi Bei also came to train, and he was being beaten one-sidedly, just like the girls sitting on the mats.

Gu Cheng felt that Qin Kexin was getting more and more engrossed in watching, and she was afraid that the girl would say something strange again.

Uppercut, left hook, awesome... Orange eats popcorn~

"Aren't you cold wearing so little?" Gu Cheng was wearing a thick knitted sweater on top and a knee-length skirt with fleece-lined tights on the bottom, while Qin Kexin was only wearing a short skirt and white stockings, with a large area of ​​skin exposed.

"Here?" The latter pointed to the absolute area between the knee-high socks and the hem of the skirt.

"Hmm, won't you catch a cold?" Their outfits were practically from two different seasons; Qin Kexin was the type who prioritized style over warmth.

"It's not cold indoors, so I wore thicker socks, and I also wore an extra pair of safety shorts..." The girl casually lifted a corner of her skirt, revealing the skin-colored safety shorts underneath.

Sitting in the back, Su Wanxi couldn't see clearly, so she had to slowly lower her legs and sit up straight.

"Cough cough..." Gu Cheng coughed awkwardly a few times and quickly pressed down on the girl's hand.

If Su Wanxi saw this, the jealous woman would probably misunderstand and think there was something between her and Qin Kexin.

"And I also have this... secret weapon~" Qin Kexin took out a hand-knitted scarf from the side and presented it to Gu Cheng like a treasure.

The scarf is brownish-gray, and the cotton fleece material feels extremely smooth to the touch; just touching it brings a wave of warmth. The only drawback is that the scarf has no pattern whatsoever, and even looks a bit dowdy, which doesn't match the girl's delicate JK uniform top.

"This scarf was knitted by Ali in early spring this year. He said I would most likely catch a cold in winter, so he gave it to me first." Qin Kexin slowly folded the scarf, a sweet smile on her face.
