You'd better look back, Mr. Shen is about to break.

The screen flipped again, and an enlarged version of the system appeared before them. The one-to-one enlargement made the originally cute and fluffy little ball of flesh look strangely eerie.

Yu Nanqing froze slightly, her reddened eyes trembled, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke, "...00...8?"

"Mm." The little dumpling in front of her nodded. Seeing that she recognized her, she went straight to the point, "Shen Mochen isn't completely dead. You can go find him now."

Yu Nanqing froze, her pupils dilated, her eyes flashing with immense surprise, and her heart pounded wildly. "Really...really?"

"Hmm, but his soul is scattered, so it's very possible he doesn't remember you, or he might already be married and have children in that world." The system continued to respond, habitually reaching out to scratch the curly hair on its head, several loose strands sticking between its fingers as it let go.

Chen Qing is the male protagonist of the world, and since Yu Nanqing's knife didn't hit a vital spot, that world didn't collapse; it was only punished by having its lifespan reduced by ten years.

Now that Shen Mochen is no longer in that world, it means that the world has stabilized and its mission has been effectively completed.

It glanced at Yu Nanqing, who was so excited he was speechless, and sighed softly.

If Shen Mochen hadn't had such a strong sense of self and had been bound to the system from the beginning, it wouldn't have had to repeatedly guide Yu Nanqing through the process.

Fortunately, the goal was achieved.

--

When Yu Nanqing woke up again, she was lying on her familiar bed, and the crystal chandelier that was shining brightly in the sunlight came into view.

She reached out to block the light, lifted the blanket and sat up. She was stunned for a moment, and only when she was fully awake did she hurriedly get out of bed.

The moment my foot touched the plush carpet, my phone on the bedside table rang.

She shuddered, glanced to the side, grabbed her phone, and answered, "Hello."

"Hello, are you Ms. Yu? This is the Beihuai Public Security Bureau. Because your husband is involved in a human trafficking case, we need you to come here today."

Yu Nanqing frowned slightly, instinctively thinking it was a scam call. Just as she was about to hang up, the other end said something that made her stop what she was doing and reply with an "okay".

The other party said that her husband's name was Shen Mochen.

After hanging up the phone, she quickly changed her clothes and went out.

Whether it's true or not, she has to go and verify it.

Although the system told her that Shen Mochen didn't know her yet, what if he did?

This world was the world she had previously believed to be her own, so she knew all the routes here well.

The apartment she currently lives in was bought after she sent those two scumbags to prison. The villa was too big and felt empty living alone, so this apartment is just right, not too big and not too small.

Before leaving, she scanned the entire house and didn't see any trace of anyone else besides herself.

Therefore, that phone call was most likely a scam call.

Yu Nanqing didn't have much hope, but she couldn't control her nervousness. While waiting at the red light, she kept doing her mental preparation, thinking about what she should say if she saw Shen Mochen later.

I wonder if he will ever forgive her.

Unfortunately, they ran into rush hour traffic, and the journey, which should have taken half an hour, took Yu Nanqing an hour and a half to reach her destination.

When she got off the bus, her legs were so weak that she felt like her soul was floating on the ground.

She rarely drives, let alone in a busy downtown area like this.

But she didn't have time to calm her anxiety; she got out of the car and strode into the lobby of the Public Security Bureau.

After speaking to the police officer at the office and showing him her identification, the officer led her upstairs.

Shen Mochen was one of the victims in this case, and also the most stubborn one. Even after being rescued, he kept asking the two criminals to take him to find someone.

Fortunately, things quieted down after the phone call went through. He sat blankly in the corner, refusing to move no matter who called him.

Yu Nanqing nervously gripped the hem of her clothes, listening to the policeman's words. Her heart was pounding faster and faster, and her mind went blank, causing the policeman's words to go in one ear and out the other.

The two stopped in front of a room in the corner on the second floor. The policeman pushed open the door, glanced at Shen Mochen who was still sitting in the corner in the same position, called out to him but got no response, and then turned to look at Yu Nanqing beside him, "He may have suffered some kind of shock."

"Thank you, I will do my best to guide him." Yu Nanqing nodded, her gaze falling on Shen Mochen, and almost instantly, her eyes reddened.

She pursed her lips, her voice trembling slightly, "Shen Mochen."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Mochen, who was sitting in the chair, visibly froze for a moment. After a long while, he turned his head to look at him. His reddened fox eyes were not as tender as usual, but instead revealed a faint indifference.

Seeing that he reacted, the police officer handling the case breathed a sigh of relief and took out the case record form for him to sign.

Shen Mochen's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. He calmly shifted his gaze from Yu Nanqing, picked up the pen, and signed the document. During the police's lecture, he didn't glance at Yu Nanqing once.

Yu Nanqing felt a pang of bittersweet joy, so much so that her gaze never left Shen Mochen.

Her gaze was so intense, and her eyes were red-rimmed. She hesitated to speak the whole way, and her behavior was so cautious that even the police couldn't help but take a second look. When they sent the two away, the police even told them to live a good life.

Yu Nanqing nodded in agreement and thanked him repeatedly.

Leaving the police station, the two walked forward one after the other. Yu Nanqing lowered her eyes and followed Shen Mochen's steps. Unexpectedly, he suddenly stopped. Before she could brake, her head bumped hard into Shen Mochen's back.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked up to meet Shen Mochen's gaze as he turned around. She pursed her lips, and the tears she had been holding back all the way finally streamed down her face. She reached out to grab the hem of his clothes, but as soon as she raised her hand, Shen Mochen dodged to the side.

Yu Nanqing paused, then reluctantly withdrew her hand, her voice choked with emotion, "Shen Mochen, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Mochen interrupted her, his tone icy, as if he were treating her like a stranger, "I'm going that way, it's not on my way. Thank you for your help earlier."

After saying that, he lifted his foot and walked into the alley on the other side.

Yu Nanqing was completely stunned. She moved her lips, but her throat felt like it was stuck with a fishbone, and she couldn't make a sound because of the pain.

As Shen Mochen was about to disappear from sight, her heart clenched with a dull ache, and without thinking, she rushed forward and hugged his waist.

The black coat was thin, and the lining underneath was practically nonexistent; Yu Nanqing could even clearly feel the temperature of his body.

"Shen Mochen, don't go."

After a long stalemate, Yu Nanqing finally swallowed her endless pain and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"..." After a long silence, she finally heard Shen Mochen's cold voice.

"If we don't leave, are we just waiting to be killed again?"
