In South City, at Gu Chenxin's residence, Ling Yue waited for Gu Chenxin to leave the room, then quietly got up and followed him to the basement door.

She avoided all surveillance and hid in a secret place, however, nothing escaped Gu Chenxin's eyes.

"Yuer, come in..." Gu Chenxin shouted to Ling Yue at the door.

Ling Yue felt that she could no longer hide, so she stood up and slowly walked into the secret room.

"Yuer, you've been here before. You can come and go freely from now on. I have no secrets from you."

In order to dispel Ling Yue's doubts, Gu Chenxin invited her into the secret room.

"I couldn't sleep, and since you weren't here, I came here!" Ling Yue hurriedly explained to ease the awkwardness between them.

"Yuer, come here. Let me introduce someone to you!" Gu Chenxin waved to Ling Yue and motioned her to come to his side.

"Who is it?" Ling Yue asked excitedly.

She had always wanted to know who was the person who had a video call with Gu Chenxin.

Unexpectedly, today, I finally get to see you.

"Senior brother, let me introduce you. This is my wife, Ling Yue. I mentioned her to you before." Gu Chenxin introduced Ling Yue to Shuoyue.

"Hello! I'm Ling Yue!"

Ling Yue couldn't help feeling disappointed when she saw the man wearing a cloak and a mask in front of the screen.

She briefly greeted the person on the other end of the video.

"Hello! I've heard a lot about you!" Shuoyue didn't say much.

Although Ling Yue felt disappointed, she still tried to maintain a polite smile.

She looked at Gu Chenxin, as if waiting for his further explanation.

Gu Chenxin gently held Ling Yue's hand, feeling the slight moisture in her palm, and said with a smile:

"Yuer, Senior Brother's identity is somewhat special, so it's not convenient for him to show his true face to others on weekdays. But don't worry, he is the person I trust the most. We can be said to have grown up together."

Gu Chenxin introduced his senior brother to Ling Yue and also told Ling Yue the password to open the secret room.

"This time, with so many things happening one after another, I had no choice but to ask him to help me!"

Gu Chenxin looked at Ling Yue with a doting look on his face. He hoped that by getting to know his senior brother, Ling Yue could completely eliminate the doubts in her heart about him.

The person on the other end of the video kept tapping on the keyboard, and in a deep voice, he said to Ling Yue and Gu Chenxin:

"I've checked all the surveillance equipment near your home, and I didn't see any suspicious people appear at your door last night. I think he must be familiar with the terrain around here! Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to avoid all the surveillance equipment."

Shuoyue came to this conclusion after some investigation!

"Are you investigating what happened last night?" Ling Yue looked at Gu Chenxin in surprise.

"What else? I don't want any misunderstandings between us!"

Gu Chenxin knew that it was too difficult to get Ling Yue to trust him completely.

But he still tried his best...

"I first asked my senior to check the nearby surveillance footage from the night before yesterday, but he also found nothing. This just shows that both of these things were probably done by my father!"

When Ling Yue heard this, her brows knitted unnaturally.

"Yuer, this whole thing is too complicated. I didn't tell you before because I really didn't want you to be involved in it."

Indeed, Gu Chenxin took great pains to ensure Ling Yue's safety.

"So, Mom, when are you going to bring her back? Why did your father leave her in Liyuan?"

Ling Yue listened to the two people's investigation results on the whole incident. She was struggling with whether to give the USB flash drive that Gu's mother gave her to Gu Chenxin.

Mother Gu, what secrets do you have?

Ling Yue was thinking, and at the same time, she was waiting for Gu Chenxin's answer.

"soon……"

Gu Chenxin's "soon" made Ling Yue feel the sadness and helplessness in his heart, as well as his deep worry about his mother's safety.

At this moment, Ling Yue suddenly felt that his thoughts last night were too ridiculous and childish.

A female special forces soldier who had experienced many battles could have her inner emotions easily swayed by a few photos!

Shuoyue on the other end of the video seemed to notice the subtle atmosphere between the two of them and coughed lightly!

"How about I hang up first and leave the space for you two?"

Then, without waiting for Gu Chenxin to speak, he hung up the phone.

At this moment, only Ling Yue and Gu Chenxin were left in the huge secret room.

Ling Yue couldn't help but stepped forward and held Gu Chenxin's hand, saying softly, "We are already husband and wife. I hope you won't have to carry everything alone anymore. Let me share it with you, okay?"

At this moment, after hearing Ling Yue's words, Gu Chenxin's heart instantly became warm and fragile!

He no longer had the high-spirited look he had just now.

At the same time, Ling Yue's eyes kept scanning everything in the secret room.

The first time he came in, he was busy venting his anger on Gu Chenxin, and the second time he came in, he fell asleep in the lounge here.

She hadn't had time to take a good look at the place.

For a female special forces soldier, everything here attracts her.

The secret room is filled with advanced equipment and unique furnishings.

High-tech display screens are placed along the wall, presenting various monitoring and data in real time.

It turns out that the surveillance systems in the residence are useless, and the real surveillance systems are hidden in more hidden places!

Every move around here could not escape Gu Chenxin's eyes.

A powerful computer terminal is placed on the metal operating table.

The glass display case displays Gu Chenxin’s collection of various sophisticated combat equipment.

Various weapons and reconnaissance equipment, such as drones, infrared jamming equipment, etc.

Ling Yue felt like he was back in the special forces' combat equipment room.

"Yuer, I want to tell you, no matter what happens in the future, don't keep it in your heart. I'm here for you, okay?"

"Well, okay!" Ling Yue answered Gu Chenxin's question, but her eyes fell on the display stand beside her.

I was shocked to see a mask exactly the same as my senior brother's lying there.

Ling Yue remembered that when she first met Gu Chenxin more than ten years ago, he was dressed in black and wearing this mask.

Only at this moment did Ling Yue focus all his attention on the mask.

When Gu Chenxin was here before, she never observed carefully!

She stepped forward, slowly took off the mask, and reflexively gestured on her cheek, imagining it.

The mask was a cold, hard black color, made of some special metal, and had a cold luster.

There are delicate dark patterns on the surface, like ancient and mysterious runes, winding and intertwining.

There are two dark gray lenses in the eyes.

The edges are polished to an extremely smooth surface, and the curve fits the cheeks perfectly, exuding a mysterious aura.

"Yuer, are you curious why my senior brother and I both have masks like this?"

Ling Yue nodded slightly, his eyes still fixed on the mask in his hand.

The texture of the mask was somewhat strange. It felt cold yet tough, as if it hid many unknown stories.

Ling Yue knew very well that there must be an unknown story and secret behind this mask.

It seems to carry all of Gu Chenxin's growth process!

"Time flies! I haven't worn it in ten years!"

Gu Chenxin came to Ling Yue's side at some point and took the mask from her hand.

He stroked it gently with his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally told Ling Yue the story behind the mask.
