Shen Qingyan glanced at the dissipating mist, then bowed to the people behind Gu Xixi to express his gratitude before being pulled and pushed away into the mist.

In less than thirty seconds, the entire street outside the back gate of the backyard reappeared.

Having erased all traces of what had just happened, the three people from the Supernatural Phenomena Management Bureau conducted another test and returned to report to Chu Anguo.

"When the fog and that man appeared, the surrounding magnetic field changed. After it disappeared, it returned to normal. It was indeed a supernatural phenomenon."

Although Chu Anguo had long believed it, he was still excited to hear the definite answer.

His gaze lingered on Gu Xixi, and only one thought echoed in his mind: the system on Gu Xixi's body truly existed!

His gaze gradually warmed, even becoming increasingly ardent.

The existence of such a system represents an enormous opportunity.

Regardless, it is of great benefit to the city, the people, and the country. He must immediately continue to report this matter. He has a premonition that everyone, and even the world, is about to undergo tremendous changes because of this.

Zhou Ninghai frowned as he saw Chu Anguo remain motionless. Just as he was about to ask a question, Chu Anguo spoke up, his voice firm and resolute.

"Use the supermarket as the center and monitor the two nearby streets. Gu Xixi, you leave with the people from the Supernatural Phenomena Management Bureau. Make sure Gu Xixi is safe. Xu Yi and Zhao Jing will be in charge of the supermarket for the time being. It will continue to operate as normal. Until the higher-ups give us further instructions, that's all for now. Await further orders."

Xu Yi, Zhao Jing, and Zhou Ninghai also suddenly became serious, even exuding a chilling aura. They responded in unison and began to take action.

As Gu Xixi followed the people from the Supernatural Phenomena Management Bureau out, she couldn't help but turn back to Xu Yi and ask, "My parents need to be home by 8:30, so please help me out."

"Don't worry, Miss Gu, we will make arrangements for your family," one of the staff members from the Supernatural Phenomena Management Bureau replied, then led her to the car, which sped away.

Less than half an hour after Gu Xixi left in a daze, many more eyes were secretly watching the two streets around the seemingly normal Fa Da Cai Supermarket.

At eight o'clock, a car exactly the same as the one that picked up Gu Xixi parked casually on the side of the street and didn't move. A little while later, a taxi stopped in front of the supermarket, and Gu's parents got out carrying large and small bags.

As soon as the taxi left, two tall, well-trained men appeared in front of Gu's parents. One of them was holding a phone and making a video call with Gu Xixi on the other end.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I'm safe. They are good people. I'll be waiting for you here."

The video call was disconnected as soon as Gu Xixi finished speaking.

"Please come with us." The two men showed their identification, which Mr. and Mrs. Gu examined carefully. They were indeed official, but this department: SWAT?

Mr. and Mrs. Gu's hands started trembling. What had that brat Gu Xixi been doing at home?! These were special police officers!!

The two men couldn't refuse and didn't know what to say. They only hoped that Gu Xixi's crime wasn't too serious, and that she hadn't become a traitor. Otherwise, they would definitely take matters into their own hands and kill their own relative for the greater good.

The two men sat up shakily, encouraging each other for a while before finally asking, "Um, what did my daughter do wrong? Would you mind telling me?"

"Please rest assured, we are just discussing some matters. Gu Xixi has not committed any crime. We are here to pick you up because our superiors need to meet with your family."

what? !

A meeting?

"Which leader?" Gu's father was even more frightened. They were just ordinary people, why were they suddenly asked to meet with them?

Did Gu Xixi save the world?

"Keep it a secret." The other party refused to say another word. Gu's parents tried to contact Gu Xixi by phone and other means, but could not reach her.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay! It's definitely a good thing." Mr. Gu comforted Mrs. Gu, and the two held hands, encouraging each other.

But both of them were on the verge of their hearts jumping out of their chests.

I've racked my brains, but I still can't figure out what it is.

Nearly an hour passed, and the scenery outside the window gradually became deserted and solemn. Finally, we stopped at the official compound, and after going through security, we went inside.

The two became even more nervous, following behind the receptionists as they walked through winding paths until they finally took the elevator to a conference room filled with national flags.

The two then saw Gu Xixi dozing off on the sofa next to the conference table.

"That brat! How can he still sleep at a time like this?" Gu's mother was exasperated and quickly went over to call out, "Gu Xixi, Gu Xixi, get up!"

Gu's father also went over and pinched Gu Xixi's face, "Wake up, tell me what you did, you scared your father to death."

Gu Xixi quickly pushed their hands away, cupping her aching face and rubbing it. "Mom and Dad, you're here! Please sit down. Don't worry, there won't be any executions. It's good news for everyone. Dad, it's good news for your cancer too."

Hearing this, Gu's parents were even more confused and reached out to touch Gu Xixi's forehead.

Gu Xixi's tears streamed down her face. It was so good to have her parents in front of her. She pressed them down, "Mom and Dad, please sit down. I'll tell you, it all started because I got bound to a system..."

Mr. and Mrs. Gu tilted their heads in unison, "Huh?!"

……

Meanwhile, in the city's highest-level conference room, the city's top leaders sat together, watched the playback from the body camera, and held an online meeting with top leaders from Beijing.

Chu Anguo took the lead in offering his suggestions: "1. I believe this is an opportunity for our development, which we must take seriously. Comrade Gu will also be facing a transaction that transcends time and space, and we must provide her with strong support. This is our current general direction."

"2. The Fortune Supermarket has one transaction every morning, and the number of transactions with each world is limited. We must seize the opportunity precisely to maximize the effect of the time travel, so I plan to form a team immediately. Apart from the official people, I plan to select other people from those who have had contact with Gu Xixi during this period."

"3. Regarding confidentiality..."

……

After he finished speaking at length, the senior leader added his comments, and other department leaders also began to offer their suggestions.

“That area should have been demolished long ago, but the price was too high and it hasn’t been implemented yet. Now is the right time. Measures such as exchanging houses for houses or buying houses with tickets are all possible. To maintain secrecy, we can use the pretext of excavating ancient tombs and protecting the archaeological site to carry out the demolition and requisition of the entire area…”

"I agree, and also..."

The meeting lasted for four hours before it ended, and Gu Xixi had already eaten lunch, but her parents still couldn't believe what they had heard.

Gu's mother was clearly distracted, not even noticing that she had picked up empty food with her chopsticks several times. She suddenly asked again, "Xixi, what system did you say you were bound to?"

"Mom..." Gu Xixi had explained ten times already, and she was very helpless.

Bang, bang, bang! There was a knock on the door.

The family of three turned around and saw five people who usually only appear on television news footage.
