I rely on unlimited life extension

Chapter 33, The Broken Bridge, End

Cheng Yi opened the profile interface in the system's information panel and changed his appearance back to his original form.

He stretched out a hand from the car window, feeling the wind whistling past his fingertips. The wind was like a gentle hand, lightly brushing against his skin, making him gradually relax involuntarily.

"System, can I go to the bank to withdraw money from my movie world bank account? Will I attract attention?" Cheng Yi silently asked the system in his mind.

"Punisher, you don't need to go to the bank to withdraw money. Please enter the withdrawal amount, and the cash will immediately appear in your backpack." The system's emotionless voice rang in Cheng Yi's mind.

"Holy crap, this is so convenient and fast!" Cheng Yi exclaimed in surprise.

"Each withdrawal requires 1 energy point," the system then prompted.

"System, you're really something! I thank your whole family!" Cheng Yi couldn't help but complain, his tone a mix of surprise at the system's convenient features and helplessness at the energy consumption setting.

Cheng Yi opened his phone, found the number Ju Huaiyi had given him, and dialed it without hesitation.

After a brief static, a slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the line: "Hello, who are you looking for?"

Cheng Yi held his phone and said calmly, "I'm looking for Gan Xiaoyang."

There was a noticeable pause on the other end of the phone, as if someone was surprised, before the voice said, "This is me. Who are you?"

Recalling the previous scene, Cheng Yi said calmly, "Sister, do you remember the night before last when the three of us ate barbecue at one table?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, as if someone was lost in thought. After a while, the voice came through again, tinged with uncertainty: "You are... young man?"

Cheng Yi smiled slightly and said, "That's right, it's me. Sister, last night I met a man named Ju Huaiyi. He... he was in a very bad situation at the time. Before he died, he entrusted me to find you, saying that he had something to give you."

Cheng Yi did not mention money directly, fearing it would arouse unnecessary suspicion.

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yi mentally instructed the system to withdraw 1 million from the account.

With a slight energy fluctuation, a large box appeared in the back seat of his car with a "bang".

The box looked sturdy and exuded a mysterious aura. Although Cheng Yi didn't open it to check, he had an inexplicable trust in the system, firmly believing that it wouldn't malfunction in such matters.

Cheng Yi drove to the place he had agreed to meet with Gan Xiaoyang.

As soon as I parked the car, I saw Gan Xiaoyang playing with Blueberry by the roadside, throwing pebbles.

Gan Xiaoyang's face was filled with innocent joy, while Blueberry bounced around beside her, creating a warm and beautiful scene.

Cheng Yi slowly stopped the car, rolled down the window, stuck his head out, and called out with a gentle smile, "Little Blueberry."

Blueberry heard the call, opened her big eyes and looked at Cheng Yi, then seemed a little shy and hid behind her mother, only peeking out her little head, and timidly said, "Hello, Uncle."

After saying that, he quickly shrank back.

Cheng Yi looked at Gan Xiaoyang and said, "Sister, let's talk in the car, it's too hot outside."

Gan Xiaoyang nodded slightly and led Lanmei into the car. As soon as she got in, her gaze was drawn to the large leather suitcase on the back seat. She asked疑惑地问道, "What's this?"

Cheng Yi said calmly, "This is the money Ju Huaiyi left for you and your daughter. As for my share, don't worry, I've already set it aside."

Gan Xiaoyang's gaze shifted back and forth between Cheng Yi and the large leather suitcase, then she reached out and gently stroked the surface of the suitcase. Her expression was somewhat downcast as she slowly asked, "Ju Huaiyi, is he dead?"

Cheng Yi paused for a moment, not answering her question directly, but said, "Sister, you don't need to worry about anything else. This money is yours, you can distribute it however you want."

Oh, and Ju Huaiyi also told me he gave you a USB drive. If the constables find you, hand it over and say that Ju Huaiyi told you to do it.

Just as Gan Xiaoyang was about to speak, a crisp telephone ringtone suddenly sounded.

She took out her phone, glanced at the screen, paused slightly, and then answered the call, saying, "Hello, who are you looking for?"

After hearing something said on the other end of the phone, Gan Xiaoyang's expression changed instantly, and she said in a trembling voice, "I, I'll go right away."

After hanging up the phone, Gan Xiaoyang looked at Cheng Yi with complicated emotions in her eyes and slowly said, "It was the constables who called. They asked me to identify a body. They said they found Ju Huaiyi's body in an unfinished building. But his head was too badly broken, so I need to identify it."

Cheng Yi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "Then just take the USB drive with you. After you've identified the body, hand it over to the constable. Tell him that Ju Huaiyi told you that as long as he's dead, you should hand this over to the constable."

Gan Xiaoyang nodded slightly. Cheng got out of the car and picked up the large suitcase to take it up to her, but Gan Xiaoyang refused. Her eyes were firm as she said, "I want to deposit this money directly in the bank; it's safer that way."

So, Gan Xiaoyang went back to get the USB drive and got into the car. The three of them went to the Six Doors first, while Cheng Yi played outside with Blueberry.

Blueberry opened her big eyes and looked around curiously, while Cheng Yi patiently stayed with her.

Gan Xiaoyang went into the Six Doors alone to identify the corpse.

Time passed by, and after about two hours, Gan Xiaoyang walked out of the Six Doors looking relaxed.

The tension and unease that had been on her face were gone, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

The three of them went to the bank first and deposited the huge sum of cash into Gan Xiaoyang's bank account.

Afterwards, they arrived at the bustling amusement park.

Here, they played happily with blueberries, and their laughter echoed on every ride.

They seemed to have forgotten all their worries and fatigue, immersed in this joyful atmosphere. Time flew by, and by the time they finished their meal and returned home, it was already afternoon.

Blueberry was so tired from playing that she fell into a deep sleep in the car before we even got home.

Cheng Yi looked at Lan Mei tenderly, gently picked her up, and carefully carried her upstairs.

Gan Xiaoyang followed behind, watching Cheng Yi's figure, and a strange feeling suddenly welled up in her heart.

She said softly, "Why don't you stay?" However, as soon as she said it, she seemed to realize something and quickly added, "Never mind, forget I said anything."

Cheng Yi sensed her complex emotions, stopped, and reached out to pull Gan Xiaoyang into his arms.

His voice was deep and gentle as he said, "Don't try to keep me here, because I never belonged here. It's enough that I can provide for you and your daughter for the rest of your lives in comfort and peace. I feel that my trip was worthwhile."

Gan Xiaoyang nestled in his arms, raised her head, and her eyes sparkled with a unique light.

She said slowly, "I was Ju Huaiyi's lover, but I have never been with any other man besides him. Now that he is dead, I am free."

As she spoke, Gan Xiaoyang, like a seductive snake, gently swayed her soft body and climbed onto Cheng Yi's body.

Her eyes held longing and expectation, as if she were searching for a new sense of security and warmth.

Cheng Yi's body stiffened slightly, but when he thought of Blueberry sleeping soundly in the bedroom, an indescribable feeling of excitement welled up in his heart.

At this moment, the two of them were only covered by a large bath towel, and they hadn't had time to take a shower yet.

At this moment, Cheng Yi felt completely at ease. This was the first time he had been able to enjoy the wonderful feeling of being served without even having to move a finger.

Suddenly, Gan Xiaoyang's phone rang. She slowly got up from Cheng Yi, stretched out her smooth, lotus-root-like arm, and picked up the phone from the coffee table.

After the call was connected, her expression changed instantly. After saying a few more words, she hung up the phone.

Then, she looked at Cheng Yi and said, "It was Wen Liang's daughter, Wen Xiaoyu, who called. After the constable looked at the USB drive I handed over, he contacted her and told her the truth. She wanted to ask me to verify the dirt on Zhu Fangzheng and Ju Huaiyi."

Cheng Yi's gaze swept over her, and his hands groped her up and down for a while before he said, "My own father has been missing for almost ten years without explanation. His body was just found in the broken bridge, and I heard that it was my godfather who did it. Anyone would be devastated. Well, I'll help if I can. Besides, I'm leaving now."

Gan Xiaoyang's eyes darkened, and she leaned against him again, asking softly, "Then, will you come back? Blueberry will miss you!"

Cheng Yi kissed her on the cheek and said gently, "With you here waiting for me, of course I'll come back."

Gan Xiaoyang raised her head and said, "Don't rush, there's still some time." As she spoke, her body gradually sank down.

——————My dividing line——————

Cheng Yi drove the taxi steadily, navigating the bustling streets.

His face was calm as still water, his heart devoid of sorrow or joy.

In truth, deep down, he still harbored some lingering affection for Gan Xiaoyang, who had always been so devoted to him.

Gan Xiaoyang was like a ray of warm light that briefly shone into his gloomy world.

However, Cheng Yi knew in his heart that in this complicated world, he was just an insignificant passerby, like a fleeting shooting star, who would not leave a deep mark on anyone's life.

Time slipped away quietly as the wheels rolled on. Several hours later, a system notification suddenly sounded in the cramped space of the taxi, the cold electronic voice breaking the silence inside the car.

"System notification: Punisher, the main plot of this movie world has ended. Please exit this world in time. This will consume 5 points of system energy."

Immediately afterwards, the system issued another notification. Cheng Yi had performed exceptionally well in this operation to punish the criminals; his series of brilliant maneuvers and decisive decisions earned him a chance to win a prize.

In an instant, a huge nine-square grid appeared in the void. It was like a mysterious magic circle, rotating up and down, left and right. Its dazzling light flickered in the darkness, as if each square held endless mysteries.

Without the slightest hesitation, Cheng Yi chose the middle treasure chest again.

"System notification: You have acquired the passive skill, Hypocrisy, Zhu Fangzheng's First Face. As long as I don't say anything, none of you will be able to discover my true colors. Everyone who sees you for the first time will believe that you are a good person."

He knew that from then on, he could more easily conceal himself and better fulfill his mission amidst those complex interpersonal relationships and perilous situations.

This skill is like an invisible disguise, giving him the appearance of a "good person," but only he knows the truth beneath that disguise.

Ahead, a portal emitting a soft white light suddenly appeared, like a passage from a dream.

Without hesitation, Cheng Yi drove his taxi toward the teleportation portal. In an instant, a white light flashed, almost swallowing the entire world.

As the light faded, Cheng Yi and his taxi appeared on a highway.

The road was somewhat desolate. In the distance, an abandoned mine stood silently, like a giant beast forgotten by time, exuding a mysterious and vicissitudes-like aura.

Cheng Yi frowned slightly. He looked at the system notification, pursed his lips, and muttered with a hint of disappointment, "System, how come this film and television world only yielded this little bit of harvest? It's pitifully little."

The system's cold, electronic voice immediately responded: "The Punisher has already acquired 4 million in bank deposits in this world. Please don't be overly ambitious."

Cheng Yi scoffed dismissively: "System, you underestimate me. I'm talking about energy and lifespan, that's the key to my survival."

The system prompted again: "Punisher, please return to the real world and re-enter the movie world in 12 hours."

Cheng Yi sighed helplessly: "Fine, 12 hours it is then."

After saying that, he began looking for a gas station. He found one not long after. He skillfully drove to the pump and patiently filled his car with gas.

He then drove to the suburbs and, after searching for a while, found an e-sports hotel.

He parked his car, went into the hotel, checked in, and then dragged his slightly tired body into his room, ready to get some rest.

The computers in the e-sports hotel are top-notch, running at lightning speed. The smooth graphics and comfortable operation will immerse every gamer.

However, Cheng Yi had no interest in the game whatsoever. He sat in front of the computer, his slender fingers rapidly typing on the keyboard, his eyes fixed on the screen, searching for the latest news about his favorite girl.

On the screen, the young lady's sweet smile was like dazzling starlight, but the male celebrity standing next to her was like a thorn, piercing Cheng Yi's heart.

Seeing their intimate interaction, Cheng Yi felt as if her heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand. A wave of bitterness welled up in her heart, and she involuntarily clenched her fists. An impulsive thought flashed through her mind—she really wanted to kick that man hard in the face.
