Shen Anran pondered for a moment and slowly said, "I always feel that something is fishy. Is there someone else behind Wu Rui?"

Usually, people who seem to be the main suspects on the surface are often not the real murderers in the end.

Wu Rui shouldn't be so stupid. If she contacts the outside world now, isn't that equivalent to directly telling others that she is the murderer?

Shouldn't she be more cautious at this critical moment?

Shen Anran couldn't figure it out for the time being, but she vaguely felt that the system was closely related to all of this.

Shen Jiahe nodded, agreeing with Shen Anran's words.

She said, "I will arrange for someone to continue investigating this matter, but Wu Rui is definitely involved. I have already passed the relevant information to Lin Yunfei. As for how he handles it, it is not my business."

"Okay." Since Jiang Wanqing was present, Shen Anran didn't say much.

Jiang Wanqing touched Shen Anran's head and said, "Let your sister and the others handle these matters. You don't have to worry too much. Have breakfast first."

Shen Anran nodded meekly.

After breakfast, Shen Anran said something to Jiang Wanqing and walked out the door pushing the suitcase full of luggage.

When we arrived at the place Fu Ying mentioned, we found that the two were already waiting at the hotel entrance.

As soon as Fu Ying saw Shen Anran, she smiled brightly, walked up to her quickly and gave her a tight hug, saying, "Hold me again, I can't bear to leave you."

"If you miss me, you can always send me a message or call me."

"Okay." Fu Ying agreed verbally, but knew in her heart that this was impossible to achieve.

Many years ago, she had tried to contact Shen Anran.

But her messages always fell on deaf ears and received no response.

She later realized that the message she sent did not reach Shen Anran's phone at all, but was intercepted by some mysterious force.

Similarly, that force was also preventing her from approaching Shen Anran, but she had never found the answer to what it was.

She let go of him and turned her gaze to the suitcase next to her. "Are these all my things?"

"Yes, Mom put some snacks in it. You can eat them if you get hungry on the way."

"Please say thank you and apologize to Auntie for me. I didn't say goodbye to her in person because I was afraid that I would stay in your house because I couldn't bear to leave." Fu Ying said half-jokingly.

Shen Anran nodded and said, "Okay." She did not try to persuade him to stay. They both knew the boundaries between them and no one said it out loud.

Fu Ying glanced at her phone. It was 11 a.m. and her flight was at 5 p.m., which still had a few hours left.

So she suggested, "It's still early, why don't we go for a walk around the neighborhood?"

Shen Anran turned to look at Yan Wen and asked with a smile, "Mr. Yan, do you want to join us?"

Yan Wen simply responded, "Yeah."

Fu Ying originally wanted to help Yan Wen find an excuse to refuse, but before she could say anything, Shen Anran beat her to it, so she could only swallow her words back.

If she continued to refuse, it would seem a bit inhumane.

She wasn't actually drunk last night. She sobered up after she and Yan Wen left the hot pot restaurant.

She used the excuse of being drunk to speak out her true feelings. She was afraid that if she didn't say it now, she would never have another chance.

She didn't know if it was because of her thoughts, but she felt much more at ease at this moment.

The three of them strolled along the nearby streets. Fu Ying was choosing from a small stall selling dolls, while Yan Wen watched quietly from the side.

Shen Anran wanted to go over to help, but her attention was suddenly attracted by a familiar figure.

Her pupils dilated, and without hesitation, she immediately chased after him.

In this way, she came to a remote street where the houses were dilapidated, the word "demolition" was written on the wall, and there was no one else around.

"Mantou, since you led me here, why don't you come out and see me? Or at least give me an explanation."

At this time, a white cat slowly walked out from the darkness and said in its lazy voice: "Long time no see, master."

Shen Anran sneered, "You still know that I am your master, I thought you were dead outside."

Mantou lowered his head, looking a little aggrieved. "Don't be so angry. I didn't come back to find you because I encountered some accidents."

"What accident? Was it eaten by a dog?" Shen Anran's words were full of sarcasm, and he wanted to rush up and beat it up.

She was worried at first, but it turned out that everyone around her was a traitor.

"I was recalled by the main system." Mantou explained.

Shen Anran raised an eyebrow, "Does it want you to kill me?"

Mantou quickly shook his head, "No, our system cannot harm humans at will, nor can we use our abilities on them, otherwise we will suffer backlash."

"Then why did the main system recall you?"

"It says this is a dream, you actually..."

"I've actually been dead for a long time, right? This is just a dream woven by Zhou Jingyan. Your mission is to break this dream and return him to where he came from."

Mantou suddenly raised his head and asked in surprise: "How do you know this?"

Mantou's eyes were full of surprise, an emotion that could not be disguised.

"By the time you tell me the truth, the opportunity has gone cold." Shen Anran rolled her eyes and couldn't help but complain in her heart: What a useless thing.

"Okay, it's my fault, then Master..."

"I just want to know if what you said is true, that they can live after I die."

"Yes, this is the compensation given to you by the main system."

Shen Anran responded softly: "Very good."

Mantou looked at her, and she was filled with pain.

It originally thought that Shen Anran would be shocked and difficult to accept the truth, but it didn't expect that she would figure it out so quickly.

"Master, who told you this?"

Could it be Shen Jiahe's system? That shouldn't be the case. They left together, and after returning to this world, it immediately rushed over. The black cat couldn't be faster than it.

"Of course it's your kind, otherwise I would still be kept in the dark by you."

"Black cat?"

"No, it's Yan Wen. He's also a book-traveler and has a system. I guess the system told him all this, and he relayed it on his behalf."

The purpose was to let her die on her own. As for why he didn't kill her directly, it must be because he was worried that Zhou Jingyan would lose control.

Is Zhou Jingyan really just a time traveler? Why would the main system expend so much manpower and resources to break his dream? How strange.

Mantou's tail stood up in shock, "What? There are actually other travelers. What's going on? Didn't the main system say that there can only be one traveler in a spacetime? Two was already outrageous enough, and now there are three at once!"

Maybe there is such a rule, but this is not real time and space, but a dream, a dream that can wake you up at any time.

Shen Anran found it difficult to accept at first, not because it was beyond common sense, but because she had actually killed her loving parents.

Yan Wen told her that if she died, the Shen family would be resurrected. Regardless of whether this was true or not, she was willing to try it.

And the most important point is that if Zhou Jingyan did not leave this time, he would really die.
