Chapter 70: The CEO Godmother's Surprise Attack, Checking Up on Gu Yunfan and Zhao Siqing

"Hello... Mm... What?? My mom is here?? Okay, I got it..."

Zhao Siqing received a call from her assistant and woke up instantly. She nervously stopped Gu Yunfan, "Hubby, get up quickly! The Great Demon Head is here!"

She had been prepared for this and had her assistant keep watch at the elevator.

"Don't move..."

Gu Yunfan hugged Zhao Siqing tightly.

Zhao Siqing felt the changes in her body... With no time to rest, the two quickly straightened their clothes and cleaned up the battlefield.

Seeing Zhao Siqing was exhausted, Gu Yunfan took out a bottle of ten-complete great tonic pills from the system, shook out 20 pills, and pinched her chin to feed them to her.

Gulp~

Zhao Siqing's throat moved as she swallowed. "Cough, cough... What did you just feed me??"

"Don't talk. Have some water and fix your makeup."

Gu Yunfan pricked up his ears and used 'Owl Hearing' to listen to the movement outside.

Click-clack, click-clack... High heels tapped on the floor, making a crisp and powerful rhythmic sound.

Just by the sound of the footsteps, Gu Yunfan knew it was Jiang Yujun. Judging by the sound, she was still about ten meters away.

Gu Yunfan calmly pulled out a wet wipe to wipe his mouth, then walked to the door and gently unlocked it from the inside to avoid making his Godmothersuspicious.

Zhao Siqing quickly applied some lipstick and then picked up Gu Yunfan's notebook to recite silently. Huh? What did this kid feed me? I feel warm all over, and my energy is much better... Knock, knock, knock~

After a series of knocks.

Jiang Yujun twisted the door open directly, only to see Zhao Siqing leaning against the desk, reciting her hosting script: "Dear viewers..."

"Eh? Why is Great Beauty Jiang here?"

Zhao Siqing acted very surprised.

Gu Yunfan calmly stepped forward to greet her. "Godmother, you're here~"

Jiang Yujun looked at the two of them. Her anxious heart calmed down, and she let out a silent sigh of relief. It turned out to be a false alarm... "Zhao Siqing, I only found out when I called your Eldest Sister just now that you invited your Eighth Brother to your workplace. Why didn't you tell me?" Jiang Yujun's tone was slightly reproachful.

Zhao Siqing froze for a moment, then slapped her forehead. "Look at my brain. After I talked to Eldest Sisterat noon, I was planning to tell you, but then I was called away by my supervisor. I got busy and forgot."

"Fine. Next time you invite your Eighth Brother, report to me in advance."

Seeing her Godson, Jiang Yujun felt much more at ease.

"Report?" Zhao Siqing furrowed her brows and teased, "Wait... you came all the way here just for this? Couldn't you have just called? What's wrong? Are you worried that I'm dating your Godson?"

Damn... this sister is really brave... right to her face... Gu Yunfan played along. "What are you saying, Fifth Sister? Our Mother came to pick me up and take me home, right, Godmother?"

"Mm~, that's right~. I stopped by after work to pick up Gu Yunfan. Is that not allowed?" Jiang Yujun felt she had misunderstood Zhao Siqing and actually felt a bit guilty.

"Fine, fine, fine~. You are Great Beauty Jiang's most pampered little treasure. The seven of us sisters combined aren't as favored as you~"

Zhao Siqing spoke sarcastically, "I say, President Jiang, can you not be so sensitive? I invited Eighth Brother to help me improve my hosting skills. If word of your sudden surprise check-up gets to my colleagues and supervisors, they'll really think Eighth Brother and I are having an affair. How am I supposed to work here in the future?"

"What check-up? Don't talk nonsense. I didn't mean that. I just came to pick up Gu Yunfan."

Jiang Yujun took Gu Yunfan's arm. "We're going home. Are you finishing work?"

"Hey, hey, hey, it's not even 8 o'clock yet. Eighth Brotheris still coaching me."

"Gu Yunfan practices with you every morning, and I haven't seen any progress. Don't waste your effort. Gu Yunfan's memory and eloquence are natural talents. No matter how hard you work, you can't compare to him~"

"Oh my god! You're so discouraging!"

"I'm just stating facts~. Alright, we're leaving now. You should finish work early too~"

Jiang Yujun forcibly took Gu Yunfan away. Upon exiting, they encountered the Director and Deputy Director of CCTV, along with other leaders. Learning of her arrival, the leaders all came over to greet her.

"Welcome, President Jiang. I only just learned of your visit. Please excuse my late welcome~"

The CCTV Director was a high-ranking official at the ministerial level and also served as the Deputy Directorof the Central Propaganda Department. His rank was quite high, yet he was very humble and polite when meeting Jiang Yujun.

"You're too kind. It's nothing. I just came to pick up my son and take him home~"

"I see. Your son recited a hosting script in the cafeteria this evening, which really amazed us. He is a rare linguistic talent, and we all like him very much. I wonder if President Jiang could arrange for him to work at CCTV?"

"Ha~, thank you for the recognition. I have seven daughters, and each has her own pursuits; none are willing to join the Jiang Group. My Godson, however, is willing to help me run the business. I've finally found a successor, so please don't try to poach him from me."

"Oh? A successor?"

The Director, Deputy Director, and other leaders looked at each other. They thought to themselves that what Zhao Siqing said was actually true—Jiang Yujun really intended to groom Gu Yunfan as her successor. Consequently, the leaders began to value Gu Yunfan even more.

The two sides chatted for a while.

The station leaders accompanied Jiang Yujun and her son down the elevator.

Hosts like Sa Beining and Nigmati watched the distinguished guests leave, whispering in discussion and admiration.

"Tsk tsk... She truly deserves the titles of first beauty of the capital, asias number one goddess, and one of the top ten wealthy socialites globally. Even in her forties, she is still exceptionally elegant and devastatingly beautiful..."

"Yeah... I used to think using 'devastatingly beautiful' to describe a woman's looks was an exaggeration... but applying it to President Jiang isn't an overstatement at all..."

"I really envy Young CEO Gu... having a Godmother who is a queen possessing beauty, wisdom, power, wealth, status, and influence all in one... If I had such a powerful Godmother... the Director's position would have been mine long ago..."

Hearing her colleagues' idle chatter, Zhao Siqing curled her red lips. Envious of Gu Yunfan having a queen for a Godmother? If you knew... this kid also has the most beautiful CCTV host as his girlfriend, wouldn't you be cursing in jealousy?

Gu Yunfan, oh Gu Yunfan~

You're one lucky kid~

Do you have any idea how many people at work have a crush on me?

And yet, I'm only interested in you~

I even pursued you... and gave you my first time... You should be laughing in your sleep~

But... to be honest... I didn't lose out at all... on the contrary... I'm the one who benefited... My little brother is really strong... so strong it's unbelievable... The more Zhao Siqing thought about it, the more incredible it seemed. Gu Yunfan had completely redefined her understanding. In the future... there'll be plenty of fun to be had~

Gu Yunfan followed his Godmother into the Phantom. He waved to the station leaders as they drove out of the CCTV compound. His supercar was driven by an assistant.

"baby~, do you remember what you promised Godmotherbefore?"

Jiang Yujun smelled perfume on Gu Yunfan. She was actually suspicious, but without evidence, she preferred to believe it didn't exist—or rather, she didn't want to believe it.

Gu Yunfan asked in confusion, "What?"

"You once promised me that you wouldn't date during college."

"Oh~, that. I remember, I remember~"

"You have to keep your word~"

"Mm!"

Gu Yunfan's heart didn't skip a beat, but he was only human. His Godmother doted on him and gave in to his every wish, yet he was hiding things from her and defying her wishes. He actually felt some self-reproach and guilt.

Sigh... if this ever comes to light... won't Godmotherexplode?

Godmother, don't blame me... I'm a red-blooded adolescent boy... how could I resist the temptation of beautiful women... Your daughters are all stunning beauties... they're always targeting my weaknesses... I have no choice... long live understanding, haha...

Chapter 71: You're Way Too Much of a Scumbag, You're Actually Dating Three People at Once!

Over the next few days...

Gu Yunfan harvested a lot of 'wool' from Zhao Siqing and Jiang Ruoxi. With two people, the speed of earning system points was significantly faster than with just one.

On Friday morning, after an interaction between Gu Yunfan and Zhao Siqing in the garage, his system point balance broke the 10,000 mark.

He finally saved up 10,000 points!!

Gu Yunfan was anxious to go upstairs and unlock a treasure chest, but Zhao Siqing hugged him and murmured, "Hubby, don't leave... stay with me a little longer..."

Day after day, Zhao Siqing found herself hopelessly in love with Gu Yunfan, loving him to death.

Gu Yunfan stroked Zhao Siqing's beautiful hair. "You've been getting a bit addicted these past few days. I'm telling you, after you invited me to your office that day, Our Mother has her suspicions about us. Fourth Sisterlooks at me strangely too. You need to take it easy."

"Uh..."

Zhao Siqing actually felt the same way. She didn't want to be this frequent either, but her little brother was too irresistible; she couldn't control herself.

"Careful sailing keeps the ship afloat for ten thousand years... How about this, Hubby... starting tomorrow... let's settle down for a bit... no more lessons for me in the morning... honestly... your sister is a bit tired... do you have any more of that divine medicine? Give your sister some more..."

Zhao Siqing lay in Gu Yunfan's arms, speaking weakly.

Gu Yunfan extracted a bottle from the system space and poured out ten pills to feed her.

Zhao Siqing gulped them down and stared at the half-bottle of ten-complete great tonic pills in confusion. "Why does it feel like they're being used up so fast... I didn't eat that many, did I?"

"Don't I need to take them myself?"

"Ha... true... your constitution is good... take fewer... every time, you take half of someone's life away..."

Zhao Siqing and Gu Yunfan flirted for a while before she let him go up first.

Gu Yunfan took the elevator upstairs and ran into Amiya, who was getting ready for work. "Oh, morning, Fourth Sister~ Going to work so early today?"

"I have no choice, another major case came up."

Amiya looked behind Gu Yunfan. "Just you? Where's your Fifth Sister?"

"She's practicing alone in the garage."

"You two have been practicing in the garage every day lately?"

Amiya scrutinized Gu Yunfan and questioned him softly, "Based on my observations... you and your Fifth Sister are also dating, aren't you?"

Holy crap—

Having a master detective in the house is really a pain in the ass!

Nothing can escape her sharp eyes!

Gu Yunfan naturally couldn't just admit it. He pretended to be agitated and replied, "Fourth Sister, what are you talking about? Don't say things that aren't conducive to unity. Our Mother will be angry if she hears!"

"Oh, so you know Our Mother would be angry?"

Amiya felt an inexplicable pang of bitterness. "If I'm not mistaken... you and Yan Yan are also dating, right?"

*Cough, cough, cough*... Did she plant a bug on me??

Or is she monitoring my phone??

"Hmph, looking at you like this confirms my judgment is correct. When we went to Hengdian last week, I felt something was off with Yan Yan. It's only been a few days, and now you've hooked up with Fifth Sister too."

Amiya shook her head speechlessly, her tone slightly resentful. "You're way too much of a scumbag, you're actually dating three people at once! Do you believe I'll arrest you and lock you up!"

"Who are you trying to scare? The police don't handle things like this~"

"Ha! So you admit it?"

"An honest man doesn't resort to deception. I'm dating them, so what?"

"Oho! So unscrupulous? Aren't you afraid I'll tell Our Mother?"

"You won't~"

"What makes you think I won't?"

"First, you promised me you'd keep my secret..."

"I did promise to keep a secret, but I promised to keep the secret about you and Xi Xi. Who knew you also had affairs with Sixth Sister and Fifth Sister!"

"Let me finish. Second, you know the consequences of telling Our Mother. You wouldn't hurt your three younger Sisters."

"Tch~"

This really hit Amiya's weak spot. She indeed wouldn't do anything to hurt her Sisters.

Gu Yunfan continued his analysis, "Third, you owe me. I helped you catch that serial killer and helped you achieve great merit. You said it yourself, I'm your life-saver. You wouldn't do anything to hurt your life-saver either~"

"Tch..."

Amiya was being completely manipulated by him.

Gu Yunfan understood all of this clearly, which was why he dared to admit it so openly. With his omnipotent system, why would he be afraid of anything?

The reason he kept it from his Godmother wasn't because he was afraid of her, but because he didn't want to make her angry or put his Sisters in a difficult position.

"Hey? When are you giving me that 10 million reward money? You didn't pocket it yourself, did you?"

"That's right! I pocketed it. Don't even think about getting it!"

Amiya pointed at him angrily. "You just keep behaving recklessly! One day when the truth comes out, I'll see what you do then!"

"I'm your life-saver, you'll have to help me then~"

"Help you my ass! Scumbag! So young and already so corrupt! Fair without, foul within!" Amiya suddenly pushed him away. "Move!"

"Eh?"

Did she eat gunpowder?

Gu Yunfan felt Amiya's reaction was a bit abnormal.

Being angry was expected, but her anger was mixed with other emotions. Was she jealous? Could it be that Fourth Sister is also interested in me?

Today's Gu Yunfan was no longer a green, naive novice, but an experienced veteran. He could sense the signals sent by the opposite sex.

Look at this damn charm of mine~~~

Amiya stormed off to the garage in the elevator. Just as she stepped out, she ran right into Zhao Siqing.

Zhao Siqing, who had a guilty conscience, was startled. She gave a forced smile. "Fourth Sister, you're heading to work?"

"Yeah! Work!"

Amiya walked a few steps then stopped. With anger boiling inside her, she felt she had to speak out. She turned and called, "Siqing, come to my car. I need to talk to you."

"Talk about... what?" Zhao Siqing had a premonition.

Amiya didn't reply but led her into her Jeep Wrangler. She said bluntly, "When did you and Old Eight start?"

Zhao Siqing was stunned, her heart racing. She played dumb. "Fourth Sister, what are you talking about?"

"Enough, stop pretending. Old Eight has already admitted it."

"Admitted what? Fourth Sister, make yourself clear."

Zhao Siqing thought Amiya was bluffing.

"Stubborn as a mule!" Amiya picked up her phone. "Do you want me to call Old Eight right now? If I'm not mistaken, you slept with him when you invited him to your office on Monday night, didn't you?"

*Cough, cough, cough*... Old Eight was right... Fourth Sister really did see through it... Zhao Siqing said with a cheeky grin, "Fourth Sister is so amazing... a master detective is a master detective... I have to hand it to you..."

"Stop flattering me! Do you know you're playing with fire??"

"Oh... I know Our Mother forbade us from dating Old Eight, and I don't want to disobey her imperial decree, but I can't control myself. I like him too much. I just couldn't help it... Good Sister, you won't betray me, right?"

"Break up! You two must break up!"

"Why? Don't tell me you two actually have a secret affair?"

"Here we go again, right? I'm doing this for you and Old Eight! And for Our Mother! Do you want to be kicked out of the Jiang Family by Our Mother? The seven of us are like Sisters, and I don't want to see our happy and harmonious family torn apart!"

"I understand everything you're saying, but love is uncontrollable! You've never been in love, you've never liked someone, so you don't understand this feeling!"

"I don't care about that! You must break up with Old Eight!"

"I won't!!!"

Zhao Siqing resisted fiercely. "If you want to tattle, then go ahead! At worst, Our Mother will kick me out! Regardless, I won't break up with Gu Yunfan! Stay out of our business from now on! Goodbye!"

"Hey, stop right there!"

Amiya watched as Zhao Siqing pushed the door open and got out of the car, feeling helpless. She vented all the anger in her heart onto her Fifth Sister.

Based on her observations, Zhao Siqing didn't know Gu Yunfan had two other little lovers. She held back from saying it; if Zhao Siqing found out, she would definitely explode.

Gu Yunfan, oh Gu Yunfan, you're really shameless... You're only 18, yet you're dating three girls at the same time, right under the She-devil's nose. You've got quite the nerve... But then again, it's not entirely your fault. You're exceptionally gifted, highly capable, and incredibly talented. It's normal for girls to like you. Yan Yan and Siqing were probably the ones who pursued you proactively, right?

"Hmm?"

"Why am I so angry?"

"Is it really just for the sake of Old Eight and my Sisters?"

Amiya realized she was jealous. She shook her head and drove off to work.

Chapter 72: Unlocking the 10,000-Point Mega Chest for the First Time, Shocking the Eldest Princess!

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining "Super Aviation Turbofan Engine Technology"!]

[Skill is being transmitted...]

What on earth???

aviation engine technology???

Gu Yunfan's head buzzed as a knowledge system regarding aviation engines rapidly flooded his mind.

The system showed that this technology covered two types of turbofan engine technologies: "Civilian High-Bypass Ratio" and "Military Low-Bypass Ratio."

Civilian aviation engines focus on high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and high reliability.

Military aviation engines focus on high thrust-to-weight ratio, stealth, and maneuverability.

The core principles of both are the same, but because of the different requirements of their application scenarios, they differ greatly in design and performance, making them non-interchangeable.

Dragon Nation's military aviation engines are relatively mature and rank among the top in the world, with high-thrust engines ranking second, medium-thrust engines ranking third, and small-thrust engines ranking sixth.

Overall, the United States remains firmly at TOP 1, while Sun Never Sets Country, France, and Da Mao belong to the second tier, and Dragon Nation is in the third tier, sprinting toward the second tier.

In the field of civilian large aircraft aviation engines, it has long been dominated and monopolized by the three countries: the United States, Sun Never Sets Country, and France.

There are only two common types of large civil aircraft: the Boeing series and the Airbus series. The former is an American company with engines mainly supplied by General Electric; the latter is a European company with engine suppliers mainly being Rolls-Royce from Sun Never Sets Country.

The engine for Dragon Nation's first domestically produced large aircraft, the C919, is produced and supplied by CFM, a joint venture between the United States and France.

Our country possesses the technology to independently produce civilian large aircraft engines, such as the CJ Series, but the technology is not yet mature and is in the verification stage.

However, the Super Aviation Turbofan Engine Technology rewarded to Gu Yunfan by the system, whether for civilian or military use, is the most advanced in the world today. It can be said to be in a league of its own, leading by a wide margin.

Specifically, it includes super aviation engine design blueprints, top-tier materials and thermal protection technology, excellent core performance indicators, micron-level precision manufacturing processes, intelligent full-cycle management and control technology, and leading green environmental power technology.

Hiss... Just the theoretical system alone took ten minutes to transmit, making Gu Yunfan's head swell.

Before he could catch his breath, the practical operation techniques followed in line to be taught.

Knock, knock, knock~

Jiang Ruoxi knocked on the door and shouted, "Gu Yunfan~, get up for breakfast~"

"You eat first, I'll be downstairs in a moment."

Gu Yunfan was showering. He let the water run for over ten minutes, but the technology still hadn't finished transmitting. It wasn't until he went downstairs for breakfast that it was completed, taking over half an hour in total.

Damn... As expected of a 10,000-point mega chest... There's so much knowledge and technology... Skills from a 100-point chest take only a few seconds to transmit, and skills from a 1,000-point chest take a few minutes at most.

This shows how highly complex this skill is.

aviation engines are known as the "jewel in the crown of modern industry."

As a college student majoring in aerospace, Gu Yunfanknew very well how high the value of this technology was. Not only could it bring immense commercial value, but it would also drive Dragon Nation's technological progress, economic development, and national defense security to achieve great leaps. Without a doubt, this was a national-level core technology.

Compared to 1,000-point skills like Grandmaster Level Jeet Kune Do, God-Level Culinary Skills, and God-Level Singing Skills, it simply didn't belong to the same dimension.

The 10,000-point grand prize is truly awesome—

Gu Yunfan was in a daze while eating breakfast.

Jiang Ruoxi thought he was tired from last night, and Zhao Siqing thought he was worried because they were discovered by the Fourth Sister. Neither of them spoke.

"Eh? Why is everyone so quiet this morning?"

The Eldest Sister, Shen Yinuo, asked curiously, "Fifth Sister, don't you usually talk a lot? What are you thinking about?"

"I got home quite late last night, and I went to practice with Old Eighth this morning. I'm super sleepy~"

Zhao Siqing looked up at Gu Yunfan, "Old Eighth, what are you dazing off for?"

"Shh... I've been studying aviation engines with Eldest Sister lately... One of the key design challenges... I think I've found a solution..." Gu Yunfan pretended to lay some groundwork in advance.

"Ah? You're thinking about the engine?"

Zhao Siqing misunderstood and thought to herself: You still have the mind to study engines? Fourth Sisteralready found out about our affair! She just had a talk with me! You really have a big heart!

Shen Yinuo said in surprise, "What key challenge? You and Xi Xi are responsible for basic work. You even understand core technology?"

"Shh shh shh... Don't talk..."

Gu Yunfan finished his breakfast and wiped his mouth. "Let's go, to school. I'll go to the lab tonight to verify my ideas."

"Wait... Are you for real??"

Shen Yinuo's curiosity was piqued. In her eyes, Gu Yunfanwas a genius, but she didn't believe he could break through a key challenge in just two weeks. Researching aviation engines wasn't like cooking or singing and martial arts; the level of difficulty was beyond what an average person could imagine.

At school.

Gu Yunfan received a message from Murong Yan.

Murong Yan: Hubby, I miss you so much~

Gu Yunfan: Bring your sister to see me~

Murong Yan:?

Murong Yan:... [interaction value +3]

During class, Gu Yunfan changed his usual style. He rarely interacted with Jiang Ruoxi and instead took a notebook to write and draw.

Jiang Ruoxi glanced over from time to time. What was he drawing? An engine design? Heavens... No way... Jiang Ruoxi didn't quite understand some of the marked data and indicators, but she had a feeling that it was something impressive.

"Gu Yunfan, what are you doing?"

After class, Jiang Ruoxi couldn't help but ask curiously.

Gu Yunfan said nonchalantly, "Can't you tell? I'm hand-drawing an aviation engine design~"

"I can see that! How do you know about this? We're only freshmen!"

"I've been following Eldest Sister in her research every day. I just looked around and learned it~"

"..."

Jiang Ruoxi was speechless. She thought Gu Yunfan's expression was very annoying, but she had to admit defeat. She also went to the research institute with Eldest Sister every day, but let alone drawing design blueprints, she couldn't even understand a lot of the data.

It took the whole day.

Gu Yunfan drew a simplified design of a civilian large aircraft engine.

The knowledge and skills used were all transmitted by the system this morning.

In the evening, they went to a restaurant for dinner.

Gu Yunfan handed the notebook to his Eldest Sister.

The moment Shen Yinuo opened it, her almond eyes lit up: "What do you mean? Where did you copy this engine design from? I've never seen it before..."

Jiang Ruoxi quickly explained: "Eldest Sister! This isn't copied; Gu Yunfan designed it himself!"

"What?? He designed it himself??"

With a clack, the chopsticks fell to the floor.

"How is that possible??" Shen Yinuo excitedly flipped through the pages. Every page was densely packed, with design drawings detailed down to the engine components.

"It's true! He spent the whole day drawing! I saw it with my own eyes!"

Hearing Jiang Ruoxi's words, Shen Yinuo's vision went dark, and she almost fainted. She kept muttering, "Impossible... This is impossible..."

Gu Yunfan said breezily, "What's so hard about drawing a design? I see you making modifications to design blueprints every day, I learned how to draw them a long ago~. Eldest Sister, my design logic is a bit different from yours. Do you think it'll work?"

Shen Yinuo was stunned and couldn't say a word. After a long pause, she suddenly stood up and said, "To the lab!"

"I haven't finished eating yet."

"I'll make you a late-night snack when we get home tonight!"

Shen Yinuo grabbed Gu Yunfan from across the table and left.

Chapter 73: The Research Team is Numb: Impossible! Absolutely Impossible!

Aerospace Research Institute Laboratory.

The research team gathered around Shen Yinuo, carefully studying the aviation engine design drawings drawn by Gu Yunfan.

"This... is the design drawing drawn by Classmate Yunfan? He designed it himself?"

"No way... in freshman year, you only learn concepts... It's only at the graduate level... that you study systematic design..."

"Exactly... I'm already in my third year of graduate school... and I've only just learned to design independently... Calling it design... it's actually just basic imitation..."

"Classmate Yunfan's design drawings look original at a glance... They're very different from any design drawings I've seen..."

"There's more in the back... He even drew design drawings for specific components..."

The members of the research team were stunned.

Shen Yinuo said nothing and had Jiang Ruoxi scan the design drawings onto the projector to enlarge them for study, while asking Gu Yunfan to assist with the introduction.

Gu Yunfan explained eloquently, "This engine is suitable for commercial wide-body aircraft. With 'efficiency, reliability, green, low noise, and easy maintenance' as its core design philosophy, it adopts a high-bypass turbofan architecture. Through system-level synergy and refined component design, it can achieve ultra-high performance, ultra-high safety, an ultra-long life cycle, and lower costs that lead the current world level."

"First, let's talk about the core performance indicators. The design thrust of a single engine is 785KN, about 80 tons..."

Uproar—

The research team immediately broke into an uproar.

"80 tons of thrust?? Are you sure you didn't misspeak??"

"The world's number one aviation engine today is GE9Xfrom the US company General Electric, adapted for the Boeing 777X airliner, with a maximum single-unit thrust of about 60 tons. This engine has 20 tons more thrust than the GE9X??"

"Impossible! That's absolutely impossible!!"

The team members exploded as soon as they heard the first indicator data.

Shen Yinuo was a bit dazed. Objectively speaking, the possibility was indeed slim. One should know that the maximum experimental thrust of the CJ series engines developed by Dragon Country was only 35 tons, yet Gu Yunfan claimed 80 tons of thrust as soon as he opened his mouth.

Thrust is one of the core performance indicators of an aviation engine. In essence, it is the reaction force generated by the engine when it jets backward, just like the power of a car. The stronger the power, the faster the speed, and the greater the mass it can carry.

Currently, the world's largest civil aircraft is the Airbus A380. The standard layout can carry 555 passengers, and the high-density all-economy layout has a maximum capacity of 853 passengers. This aircraft is equipped with four engines, each with a thrust of about 35 tons, for a total thrust of about 140 tons.

According to Gu Yunfan's design, the thrust of just two engines would be as high as 160 tons. In other words, if the engine he designed is successful, Dragon Countrywill be able to build aircraft larger than the Airbus A380.

Assuming two engines are mounted on each wing, for a total of four 80-ton thrust engines... Heavens... Shen Yinuo didn't dare to imagine further... This kid isn't playing a joke on me, is he?

The design drawings are just theoretical design data. Who knows what the actual results will be?

Let's hear him out first... Shen Yinuo raised her hand, signaling the team to be quiet and letting Gu Yunfancontinue.

Gu Yunfan then introduced core indicators such as a 10:1 thrust-to-weight ratio, an 18:1 high-bypass ratio, 80% thermal efficiency, and ultra-low noise.

With every item introduced, the whole room gasped in surprise. By the end of the presentation, everyone except Gu Yunfan—all 16 researchers—was dumbfounded.

Gu Yunfan's throat was dry from talking. He poured a cup of black tea to moisten his throat. "Teacher Shen, do you have any guiding suggestions?"

I'd like to suggest you go to the psychiatric department for a check-up... Shen Yinuo stared at the enlarged drawings on the projector for a long time.

An associate professor couldn't help but speak up, "Teacher Shen... if I may be blunt... I think this is a fantasy..."

Another associate professor nodded. "It's too exaggerated... Classmate Yunfan's design drawings look good... and they have data and theoretical support... but in the end, it's just talk on paper... It's not realistic at all to implement it..."

"Exactly... Theory alone isn't enough... Not to mention anything else, the materials must keep up with the design requirements... In fact, our country's core components such as high-pressure turbine single-crystal blades and ceramic matrix composites... have a huge gap with international standards... And foreign countries refuse to sell them... Even if they did, the materials might not be suitable for the design..."

"Exactly... Classmate Yunfan... we don't mean to look down on you... but the reality is indeed like this... You're still young... you don't understand the specific difficulties in the manufacturing process..."

"Yeah, yeah... but for Classmate Yunfan to be able to design an aviation engine as a freshman is already super impressive..."

A group of postdocs, doctoral students, master's students, and full-time researchers all voiced their opinions.

Everyone's attitude was consistent: Impossible!

Jiang Ruoxi didn't understand a word of what Gu Yunfanwas saying, but she was willing to trust him unconditionally. While the team members were throwing cold water on him, she stood up to support her boyfriend.

"I think everything is possible. Over a hundred years ago, who could have imagined that a giant beast could soar freely in the sky?"

"You don't know Gu Yunfan. He's a super genius. Just because others can't do it doesn't mean he can't."

"If he can design it, it means he has already mastered the solutions to various problems. I am willing to believe him."

Jiang Ruoxi looked at Teacher Shen. "Teacher Shen, I suggest conducting an experiment according to Gu Yunfan's design drawings. You know him; he always brings US unexpected surprises."

Yo yo yo~~~

The usually taciturn and cold campus belle rarely spoke so much in one breath~

Gu Yunfan didn't care about the team's doubts at all because he firmly believed he would succeed, and the support from his family brought a wave of warmth to his heart.

Shen Yinuo looked sideways into Gu Yunfan's eyes and asked seriously, "Besides the design, do you understand the specific technology? For example, regarding materials?"

"I know a bit~ My childhood dream was to build a spaceship. While growing up, I read many books, videos, and documents about aerospace and also conducted experiments privately."

"Heavens..."

Shen Yinuo was stunned for a moment, then made a decision. "Fine! We'll do as Classmate Ruoxi said and experiment with Gu Yunfan's engine design. Tomorrow... no... I'll go apply to the leadership right now!"

Oh yeah—

Jiang Ruoxi's phoenix eyes sparkled with excitement, truly feeling thrilled for her boyfriend.

"Ah, this..."

"No way... are we really going to experiment?"

"We've been researching for three years... with a total investment of over 100 million... Are we going to change direction now? Will the leadership agree?"

Except for Shen Yinuo and Jiang Ruoxi, the other researchers did not agree, but since Shen Yinuo was the project leader, they had to follow her arrangements.

Shen Yinuo was actually uncertain, but she was willing to trust Gu Yunfan and give it a try. Even if it failed, it wouldn't matter, as she was unable to break through the difficulties anyway.

She took Gu Yunfan and Jiang Ruoxi to find the Director of the Research Institute. The director was shocked and found it equally unbelievable.

The director couldn't make an immediate decision and asked Shen Yinuo to prepare a written document to submit. Then, the research institute, the scientific research office, and the school leadership would hold a meeting to discuss it.

The three of them returned home.

Shen Yinuo told Jiang Yujun about this.

Chapter 74: Crazy, crazy... The big lunatic is going crazy with the little lunatic... "What?? Yunfan has aviation engine design capabilities??"

"He independently drew Commercial Large Aircraftengine design blueprints today??"

"All performance indicators far exceed the world's advanced levels? More advanced than the world's number one aviation engine??"

Jiang Yujun was shocked after hearing this: "Yinuo, are you joking? He's just a freshman who has only studied the major for over three months. How is that possible?"

"Mom! It's true! I saw Gu Yunfan draw design blueprints all day with my own eyes. I was shocked too. I brought the blueprints back. If you don't believe it, look!"

Jiang Ruoxi carefully took the notebook out of her bag and spread it out in front of her mom.

"Oh my goodness..."

"baby... how did you do this?"

"Although I don't understand aviation enginetechnology... I can understand the data on it... up to 80 tons of thrust... that's almost as much as rocket thrust..."

Jiang Yujun looked through it seriously, getting more surprised as she read. Commercial aerospace is one of the three major industries under the Jiang Group, and they also do aviation-related business, so she can understand a bit.

Shen Yinuo explained: "Mom, Eighth Brother said his childhood dream was to build Spaceships. He self-taught aerospace knowledge and skills when he was young, and read many professional books and materials. This kid has a foundation."

"God... another one self-taught since childhood... what kind of genius son have I acknowledged..."

Besides being shocked, Jiang Yujun suddenly felt jealous of her Best friend. When she acknowledged the relationship, she set a goal to cultivate Gu Yunfan into a talent, swearing to do better than her Best friend. Little did she know Gu Yunfan was already a genius, and an all-rounder with many super skills.

"Mom, I've decided to bring Eighth Brother's design to life. Regardless of success or failure, I want to experiment. Before coming home, we asked the leadership to apply for the project. The leadership was also shocked by Eighth Brother and couldn't decide for a moment. They'll have a meeting to discuss it next Monday."

Hearing Shen Yinuo's words, Jiang Yujun closed the notebook with a snap and said decisively: "How about this, I'll call your principal later. This project will be invested in by the Jiang Group, collaborating with your school!"

"Ah? You want to invest?"

"Of course! My Godson's project, I must support it!"

"Mom, calm down. To be honest, the possibility of failure for this project is very high. You'll lose everything."

"If I lose money, I lose money. Just treat it as practice for Yunfan."

"Don't you want to ask how much funding is needed? My aviation engine project, just for basic research, has an investment of over a hundred million. The complete funding for an aviation engine from R&D to manufacturing requires billions, tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions. In 2016, our country launched the Aviation Engine Major Special Project, with a direct investment of no less than 100 billion and special investment exceeding 300 billion. However, the results were not ideal. Developing an aviation engine requires the strength of the whole nation!"

"I know~, that's why I decided to invest. Do you think your school can give you tens of billions in funding? They probably don't even believe you guys, right?"

"Uh..."

Shen Yinuo was speechless. What her mom said was the truth. The school leaders indeed didn't dare to believe it. Even if they were willing to let her experiment, they would never give too much funding.

The total annual budget of the entire Qingbei Universityis about 30 to 40 billion, covering scientific research, teaching, infrastructure, equipment, salaries, and many other aspects.

Depending on the project situation, scientific research funding is in the range of 2 to 10 billion per year. It looks like a lot at first glance, but there are hundreds or thousands of research projects, so the average for each project is not much.

Shen Yinuo has been in charge of many scientific research projects. The aviation engine project's investment of over 100 million is already considered a lot of funding.

"What tens of billions in funding? What are you guys talking about?"

Zhao Siqing had just come home from work. After hearing her eldest sister's recount, her reaction was even bigger than her mom's.

"What??"

"Eighth Brother can even design aircraft engines??"

"Why don't you just go to heaven??"

Zhao Siqing held Gu Yunfan's head, "Let me check if you're actually an alien!!"

"Ah, okay, okay. Is this that hard?"

"Tsk! You King of Posturing!"

Zhao Siqing picked up the notebook and flipped through the design blueprints, "What, what, what! What is this drawing!"

Jiang Yujun ignored her and turned her gaze to Gu Yunfan, "baby, is it okay if Godmother invests in your project? However much capital you need, Godmother will invest that much. Go ahead and do it boldly~"

"Thank you for the trust, Godmother. Actually, my engine project doesn't need much investment. I've already designed it; we just need to manufacture it according to my design. The materials might cost a bit of money. I estimate... an investment of at most 1 billion will be about enough."

"Only 1 billion in investment?? Is the cost that low??"

"Yes, an airplane only sells for a few hundred million to over three billion. If I spend tens of billions to build an engine, when would I ever break even?"

Gu Yunfan paused and then continued: "Also, Godmother, I suggest that the Jiang Group establish an Aviation Engine Subsidiary, then recruit people and build a production base to prepare for future mass production."

"Oh my god! You haven't even started the experiment yet, and you're already planning for mass production?? Are you that confident, kid??"

"It's alright~. If we build a factory, 1 billion won't be nearly enough; it might take tens of billions."

"Hmm..."

Jiang Yujun took a sip of hot tea and pondered. She always acted decisively but was also very rational. If it were anyone else, she would have definitely rejected it immediately. Even if she were interested, she would organize executives and experts to discuss it.

However, facing her Godson, the rational queen of the business world became emotional. After thinking for only 10 seconds, she put down her teacup and agreed: "Okay! We'll do as you say. You will concurrently serve as the president of the Aviation Engine Subsidiary. You have the final say on how to do it!"

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."

Shen Yinuo was stunned, "Mom! Are you crazy?? Just based on one design blueprint, you're going to invest tens of billions to build a factory??"

"What I'm looking at isn't the design blueprint, but the person~"

Jiang Yujun's eyes were burning with intensity, "Yunfan is a super genius. I believe he can do it~"

"Crazy, crazy... The big lunatic is going crazy with the little lunatic... This world is too upside down..."

Shen Yinuo was usually a composed woman, but at this moment, she was so surprised she was incoherent. She only mentioned this to her mom and didn't expect her to invest. Who knew that as they talked, Jiang Yujun actually wanted to invest in building a factory for mass production.

Her mom isn't an impulsive person... how did she become a completely different person when dealing with Eighth Brother... she's spoiling Eighth Brother too much... She wasn't the only one dumbfounded; Jiang Ruoxi and Zhao Siqing were like petrified statues. Zhao Siqing even leaned over Jiang Yujun to sniff her, suspecting she had been drinking.

One after another, Second Princess An Lingran and Fourth Princess Amiya came home from work. Both were bewildered after hearing the news.

Before coming home, Amiya was still sulking about Gu Yunfan stepping on three boats. After seeing the design blueprints he drew, she actually let it go.

Sigh... what girl could resist such an all-round genius?

Chapter 75: Mayor of Jing City: You're really going all out for your Godson.

The next day, Saturday.

Jiang Yujun, Gu Yunfan, Shen Yinuo, and Jiang Ruoxi went to the school together to meet with the Principal, the Vice-Principal (who was also the Director of the Scientific Research Department), the Dean of the Aviation Academy, and other leaders to discuss school-enterprise cooperation matters.

Many school leaders had not seen Gu Yunfan's aviation engine design drawings yesterday; seeing them now, they were all shocked.

Principal Zhou shook his head in amazement: "To think a freshman could design an aviation engine... it's truly inconceivable..."

The Vice-Principal and Director of Scientific Research nodded in agreement: "The new generation surpasses the old... each generation is stronger than the last... the future of Dragon Country's aviation development has a successor!"

The Dean of the Aviation Academy pushed up his glasses and studied the design drawings carefully: "Wonderful... simply wonderful... the design thinking is unique... it completely breaks out of the traditional design framework... I don't know if it can be manufactured according to the drawings... I also don't know if it can reach the theoretical level of advancement after being manufactured... but just looking at the drawings... Classmate Yunfan's design is the most original one in the history of the Qingbei Aviation Academy..."

Jiang Yujun felt her heart swell with excitement as she listened.

She loved it most when others praised her Godson.

Jiang Ruoxi also felt extremely honored.

In Shen Yinuo's view, there was an element of flattery from these school leaders, but Gu Yunfan's design ability was indeed formidable—there was no doubt about that, and she was thoroughly convinced. What she worried about was the inability to manufacture a finished product according to the drawings.

Moreover, she could tell that the school leaders didn't truly support the project in their hearts because it was too advanced; no one believed it could succeed.

However, with Jiang Yujun taking the initiative to invest, the school naturally welcomed it with open arms. School-enterprise cooperation was nothing new; the Jiang Groupand Qingbei had collaborated in many fields.

After discussions between both parties, an agreement was finally reached.

The Jiang Group would invest 1 billion in experimental funding, Qingbei University would provide the relevant talent and resources for experimental development, Shen Yinuo's team would lead the project, and Gu Yunfanwould be exceptionally promoted from a low-level researcher to joint lead person-in-charge alongside Shen Yinuo. The design patent rights would belong to Gu Yunfan personally.

If the experiment were successful, the Jiang Group would undertake mass production.

With the cooperation settled, Shen Yinuo couldn't wait to assemble the experimental team, drawing talent from various departments of the Aviation Academy and other colleges.

Manufacturing an aviation engine is a massive project requiring the coordination of many talents, including aerodynamic thermodynamics teams, structural strength teams, control and electronics teams, and materials and process teams.

It also required collaboration with multiple units and enterprises, such as main engine plants, component matching plants, and equipment suppliers.

As assembling the experimental team would take some time and Gu Yunfan and Jiang Ruoxi couldn't help much for the moment, Jiang Yujun took the two of them away.

"baby~, based on your design, how long do you think it will take for the experiment to succeed?"

Jiang Yujun asked casually in the car on the way to the company.

Gu Yunfan replied: "Specifically, it depends on the coordination of the team and partners. If things go smoothly, 3 to 6 months should do it."

"How long?? 3 to 6 months??"

Jiang Yujun's face was full of astonishment: "Kid, don't just talk nonsense! From what I know, for a large turbofan engine, counting from the completion of the design, the manufacturing cycle is about 2 to 3 years!"

"I know the manufacturing cycle for traditional aviation engines is indeed very long, but we are designing a new type of aviation engine. The design concept is different, and the manufacturing process isn't quite the same. If nothing goes wrong, 6 months is enough."

"Oh my goodness—"

Jiang Yujun reached out and rubbed Gu Yunfan's head. "baby, how are you so amazing? How is your brain wired?!"

"Don't be so quick to praise me; the experiment hasn't succeeded yet."

"I believe you can do it! Worst-case scenario, even if it fails, it doesn't matter. Godmother said the 1 billion investment is just for you to practice. So don't feel any pressure; just let loose and go for it."

"10 billion investment just for practice? Then what about your investment in building the factory? Shouldn't you be more cautious? Wait until the experiment succeeds before building the factory?"

"No! We agreed last night to build the factory in advance to prepare for mass production. Whatever you say goes!"

"Godmother trusts me that much?"

"You are my Darling son. If I don't trust you, who would I trust?"

"Godmother, I love you~"

Gu Yunfan hugged Jiang Yujun, feeling a softness against his chest and a fragrant scent in his nose. Her large wavy curls brushed against his face, feeling itchy.

[interaction value +26]

Jiang Yujun's body trembled slightly, and she beamed with joy: "Godmother loves you too~"

Hiss... these two are really mushy... are they treating me like I don't exist?

Jiang Ruoxi also felt that her mom was overly doting on Gu Yunfan, as if she were possessed, following his every word and obeying his every whim.

"Don't worry, Godmother. I won't let your trust down. I promised I would help you conquer the world, and I keep my word. Once my aviation engine experiment succeeds, the Jiang Group's stock price will inevitably skyrocket."

"Haha~, I'll be waiting for that day~"

"By the way, Godmother, I actually also have military aviation engine technology, which is also at a world-leading level. I suggest we set up two production lines: one commercial and one military. Of course, we'll need to apply for military production qualifications."

"What did you say?? You even understand military aviation engine technology??"

"The core principles of commercial and military aviation engines are the same; they just need some adjustments."

"Oh my—"

Jiang Yujun excitedly cupped Gu Yunfan's face and kissed his forehead five times in a row. "baby, I don't even know how to praise you anymore!"

[interaction value +66]

I'm done, I'm done... can you two be a bit more low-key?

All the hugging and kissing... how shameless... Jiang Ruoxi was forced to watch this display of affection the whole way.

They arrived at the Jiang Group headquarters building.

Jiang Yujun ordered her assistant to immediately register an aviation engine subsidiary, then called the Mayor of Jing City to apply for industrial land.

Building a factory to manufacture aviation engines?

The Mayor of Jing City thought she had misheard. Only after inquiring further did she learn that Gu Yunfanpossessed the core technology.

Is this kid really that miraculous?

After some communication, the elder cousin agreed to take Jiang Yujun to look at land.

In the afternoon, the group arrived at the Aviation Industrial Park in Shunyi District.

The Mayor of Jing City arrived at the site with the Vice-Mayor in charge of natural resources, the Director of the Natural Resources and Planning Bureau, and other officials.

The Director of the Planning Bureau held a tablet and introduced the available industrial plots to Jiang Yujun in detail.

For every plot they looked at, Jiang Yujun would ask for Gu Yunfan's opinion. Ultimately, they pre-selected an industrial plot covering two thousand mu.

Mayor Jiang pulled Jiang Yujun aside, touched her forehead, and asked quietly, "Do you have a fever? Or have you lost your mind?"

"Get lost, I'm perfectly fine."

"Fine? You're being too reckless; this isn't your style. Yunfan just drew some aviation engine designs, and the experiments haven't even started, yet you want to invest in building a factory. Have you gone crazy?"

"You don't understand him. This kid is a super genius. I have great confidence in him."

"No matter how much confidence you have, you can't be blind. As Mayor, I naturally want you to invest, but as family, I have to remind you to be cautious. This is a project worth tens of billions; it's no joke."

"I understand everything you're saying. Even if it fails, I don't care."

"Oh ho~, you're really going all out to support your Godson."

Mayor Jiang looked back at Gu Yunfan, then turned back and whispered, "Tell me the truth... do you... towards him..."

"Shut up! I know what you want to say, but it's not like that."

"Pfft~, look at how nervous you are. Fine, fine, have it your way~"

Mayor Jiang grumbled: "They say a woman in love has zero IQ. I think you're even less rational than a woman in love~"

"Get lost! What are you saying? Can't you act a bit more like a leader?"

Jiang Yujun gave her a sidelong glance and took Gu Yunfan and Jiang Ruoxi home.

Gu Yunfan possessed Owl Hearing, so he heard the whispered conversation between his Godmother and Aunt clearly.

What did Aunt mean?

What was she about to ask Godmother?

Gu Yunfan seemed to understand something...

Chapter 76: Holy Crap!! 20 Million?? Double Bonus??

Monday.

Dew hung from the plane tree leaves in the early morning. As soon as Gu Yunfan and Jiang Ruoxi arrived at school, their classmates swarmed them.

"Brother Fan, Brother Fan! The whole school's been going crazy these past two days! Did you really design a top-tier aviation engine??" Fang Yi pushed through the crowd to the front, his eyes shining like searchlights.

Ding Kai grabbed Gu Yunfan's arm and said excitedly, "Godfather! I also heard your Godmother invested 1 billion to cooperate with the school, making you the head of the engine project to lead experiments with Teacher Shen. Is that true too??"

The students had heard the rumors over the weekend. Fang Yi and Ding Kai had contacted Gu Yunfanimmediately, but he was working at his Godmother's company and didn't reply right away. He kept them in suspense, saying he'd tell them on Monday.

Gu Yunfan admitted openly now, "Yes, that's true."

"Holy crap!! You're really something else!!!"

"We're all freshmen! How could you design an aviation engine??"

"Did Teacher Shen give you extra lessons? Teacher Shenis being biased!"

"Bullshit! Brother Fan was only responsible for basic tasks like recording and looking up information in Teacher Shen's research team. Even if Teacher Shen gave him extra help, it's impossible for Brother Fan to design such an advanced engine in such a short time!"

"Exactly! I heard from the department leaders that Brother Fan has been studying aerospace knowledge since he was a kid. He's self-taught!"

"Holy moly!! Is he that badass??"

"The gap between people is really huge!!"

The crowd instantly erupted.

Shen Yinuo walked by carrying her bag, an uncontrollable curve at the corner of her mouth and a proud smile on her face. Although she didn't know if it would succeed, Gu Yunfan had at least helped her find a new direction for a breakthrough.

She had agreed with Gu Yunfan this morning to have him help her assemble the experimental team. With Gu Yunfan's knowledge, he didn't actually need to attend classes anymore; his level was higher than that of the professional course teachers.

Buzz buzz—

Gu Yunfan received a text message.

Holy crap!!

20 million??

The note said it was a reward from the Public Security Department??

It arrived in just one week??

And it's a double bonus??

Buzz buzz buzz—

Fourth Sister Amiya called right after.

"Hello, Eighth Brother. The higher-ups have notified me that your reward has been issued. Check your account~"

"I already received it. Why is it twenty million?" Gu Yunfan lowered his voice, but the words still drifted into the ears of the nearby students.

Fang Yi, Ding Kai, and the others were shaken. What twenty million??

Amiya explained, "Ten million is the reward for providing the key lead, and the other ten million is for assisting the police in capturing the Criminal."

"Understood! Thanks to the country and the government!"

"Look at you~ I still have a few tricky major cases on my hands. You'll have to help me again later~"

"Sure, sure. But I remember someone promised me that if the case was solved, they'd thank me personally. How do you plan to thank me?"

"You're quite greedy, kid~ Tell me, what do you want?"

"Let's put it on tab for now. I'll tell you when I've thought of it."

"Fine, wait for us. We're going to Tsinghua to find you at noon."

"What for?"

"The 'Brave Act Award' I applied for on your behalf has been approved. We're coming to present it to you."

"No, no, no. Keep it low-key. Just bring the certificate home for me."

"That won't do~ It's not up to me. Our leaders and the leaders of the Brave Act Foundation are going too. Please cooperate, Student Gu Yunfan. That's all, bye~"

After hanging up, Fang Yi and Ding Kai excitedly leaned in. They had mostly understood what was said.

"Brother Fan! That was your Criminal Police Captainsister calling, right?"

"Brother Fan! What's with that twenty million? It couldn't be a reward, could it??"

"Holy shit— 20 million reward?? Is that for real??"

The other students' legs went weak when they heard this.

Gu Yunfan smiled faintly and gave his two best friends a look, signaling them to keep it down.

Noon.

Amiya and her group arrived at the Tsinghua School of Aeronautics just as classes were ending.

The President of Tsinghua, the Vice President, the Dean of the School of Aeronautics, and other leaders arrived together after being notified.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Deputy Director of the Beijing Public Security Bureau and Captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment stood at the entrance of the teaching building to read out Gu Yunfan's heroic deeds. The Secretary-General of the Brave Act Foundation presented Gu Yunfan with an honorary certificate and a 100,000 yuan reward voucher.

Amiya, dressed in her police uniform, presented a silk banner. The eight gold-leafed characters "Brave and Wise in Capturing the Culprit, Protecting the People's Peace" were particularly striking in the sunlight.

Click click click... Gu Yunfan held the certificate in his left hand and the banner in his right, taking photos with the police, the foundation, and the school leaders. Amiya held up a plaque for the 20 million reward with both hands.

Thousands of students and teachers gathered at the entrance of the teaching building to watch the excitement, all of them dumbfounded.

"Whoa... This guy helped the police catch a Criminal last week... and actually got a 20 million reward and a 100,000 Brave Act bonus..."

"Holy crap... Just helping the police catch a murderer... and he's achieved financial freedom..."

"I'm not jealous of this... I heard that murderer was vicious... with many lives on his hands... Gu Yunfan risked his life to help the police... He deserves this money..."

"This guy is a legendary figure... assisting the police in catching Criminals and designing an advanced aviation engine... How can he be so amazing?"

"Can't help it... some people are just born to be the protagonist..."

"Hey? I heard one of Gu Yunfan and Campus Belle Jiang's sisters is a Criminal Police Captain at the Beijing Public Security Bureau... Could that female officer be her?"

"Yeah... I heard Gu Yunfan call her Fourth Sister just now..."

"Holy moly... She's a total police flower... She's got the looks and the figure... She's prettier than Big Stars Rebaand Nazha combined!"

"Is she from the border regions? Is she also a child adopted by President Jiang?"

Amidst the students' clamor, the Brave Act ceremony ended. The Public Security Bureau leaders shook hands with Gu Yunfan, praised him a few times, and left by car.

Amiya stayed behind to chat with Gu Yunfan for a bit. "Let me interview Student Gu: how does it feel to get a 20 million reward?"

"I don't like money. I have no interest in money. I only did it purely to help Fourth Sister eliminate a public menace."

"Oh my god, First Sister, Seventh Sister, listen to Eighth Brother. Is that even human talk?"

Pfft—

Jiang Ruoxi covered her mouth and chuckled.

Shen Yinuo said playfully, "Him~? He's like this every day. He looks all refined and scholarly, but he's actually never serious~"

Gu Yunfan raised an eyebrow at Amiya. "Fourth Sister, didn't you say you had more major cases? Do those cases have rewards too?"

"Tsk~ And you said you weren't interested in money, you little money-grubber~" Amiya shook her head and clicked her tongue. "Just wait, I'll be asking for your help in a couple of days."

"Sure thing~ Fourth Sister, do you want to have lunch with us?"

Gu Yunfan's gaze unconsciously drifted down to Fourth Sister's lips, remembering the accidental kiss during their martial arts match last week.

Amiya understood his look instantly, and her heart couldn't help but flutter. On the surface, she pretended to be calm: "No, I've already eaten. There's still work at the station, I'm leaving now."

Watching Fourth Sister's Wrangler drive away, Gu Yunfan, Shen Yinuo, and Jiang Ruoxi went to the cafeteria together. Over the last two or three days, his system points had accumulated to over nine hundred. Gu Yunfanplanned to unlock a thousand-point treasure chesttonight to enjoy himself.

Chapter 77: Eighth Brother Has Become the Family's Favorite; Even Eldest Sister Wants a Piece of Him~

Returning home in the evening, Gu Yunfan interacted with his Godmother for a while, and his points broke through the one thousand mark.

Before going to bed, he selected the thousand-point treasure chest and unlocked it!

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining "Golden Pupil X-ray Vision"!]

[Skill transmission in progress...]

Holy crap! X-ray Vision?

The moment the system prompt faded, a surge of heat suddenly rushed into his eye sockets, feeling like scalding magma exploding inside his eyeballs.

The sharp sting made him squint, and the chandelier on the ceiling turned into a blurry blob of light. Before long, the burning sensation gradually receded, replaced by an indescribably wonderful clarity. As his eyelids trembled slightly, he could clearly feel his retinas being reshaped... A minute later, he blinked a few times and could actually see through the ceiling to the furnishings in the attic. His gaze extended further upward, passing through the attic to see the moon hanging in the night sky.

Awesome!!!

Gu Yunfan sat up abruptly and turned to look through the wall into Jiang Ruoxi's room. Jiang Ruoxi was lying on her bed, studying a copy of Gu Yunfan's aviation enginedesign blueprints.

You're quite hardworking~

Can you even understand it?

His gaze extended... Crap!

That gave me a fright!

Why is it a skeleton?

This X-ray Vision isn't what I imagined... Gu Yunfanshifted his gaze downward, looking through the floor into the master bedroom on the second floor. Eek! Godmotherwas undressing in the bathroom; he definitely shouldn't be looking at that... Withdrawing his gaze, Gu Yunfanwondered what this skill was useful for.

Gambling on stones? Appraising treasures?

I have no interest in those. I'm not short on money; I have over 40 million in my card, and Godmother has over 300 billion in assets. As the future successor of the Jiang Group, which has a market value of trillions, is there any need for me to make money through stone gambling or treasure appraisal?

Of course, if an opportunity arises, buying a few pieces for collection or as gifts would be fine.

Gu Yunfan stopped overthinking it. Having more skills never hurts; he'd use it naturally when the need arose.

Humming a little tune, he went to take a shower. While bathing, his little eyes glanced from the East Wing Roomto the West Wing Room.

Hmm... Eldest Sister isn't asleep yet... she's busy at her desk drafting team tasks... Second Sister is sitting at her computer looking up medical knowledge... Fourth Sisterhasn't returned yet... Fifth Sister... Fifth Sister is using the tip of her tongue to flick a coin?? Hmm! She's made progress! She can flick it seven or eight times in one go!

Godmother... Right, when it comes to keeping watch, X-ray Vision is more useful than Owl Hearing!

In the future, when Jiang Ruoxi and I have our nightly interactions, won't I just need to keep an eye on the floor below? However, when sleeping with eyes closed, Owl Hearing is more useful. The two together are even safer.

Wonderful—

After showering, Gu Yunfan didn't even bother saying hello and swaggered into Jiang Ruoxi's room.

"Oh my god, you scared me." Jiang Ruoxi's body trembled. She patted her heart and said softly, "What does the Great Genius want to do?"

"I've come to give you some popular science on my engine technology~" Gu Yunfan slipped into Jiang Ruoxi's covers.

"Well, thank you~" Jiang Ruoxi's admiration for Gu Yunfan was growing. At first, she viewed him as an equal, but later it gradually turned into looking up to him. As Gu Yunfan revealed one skill after another, the angle of her upward gaze became steeper and steeper.

Facing Gu Yunfan now, she felt a bit inferior, always feeling like she wasn't worthy of this super all-rounder genius. Before, every time she saw Murong Yan contact Gu Yunfan and say mushy things, she would feel jealous and unhappy. But now... she seemed to have gotten used to it... and accepted it... because Gu Yunfan was too powerful—so powerful that she felt he didn't belong to her alone, so powerful that she felt monopolizing him was a sin.

"Darling, come, let me introduce you to my engine."

Gu Yunfan held Jiang Ruoxi and gave her a detailed explanation of the engine. Jiang Ruoxi studied very intently and put in a lot of effort... The next day.

Gu Yunfan and Jiang Ruoxi went to school as usual. The aviation engine experimental team was mostly assembled and began entering the experimental phase.

After lunch, Fourth Sister Amiya called, inviting Gu Yunfan to the criminal investigation team to help her solve a case.

"You just said yesterday you'd ask for my help in a couple of days, and today you're already making an appointment. You're really not being polite at all."

"Ha~, why should I be polite with you? Come quickly. The higher-ups have given a strict order that a murder case must be solved before New Year's Day. Sister is under a lot of pressure."

"Alright, wait a moment. I'll ask Eldest Sister for leave."

Gu Yunfan told Shen Yinuo the truth.

Shen Yinuo's willow-like brows furrowed. "Fourth Sisteris really something. I've just started the experiments here, and she wants to borrow you. Isn't this delaying my work? Give me the phone; I'll talk to her."

"Hello, Fourth Sister, how long do you need to borrow him? Not sure? That won't do. I can only lend him to you for half a day. He must be returned to me by evening."

Amiya replied on the other end of the phone, "Oh my, is this still the Eldest Sister I know? The Eldest Sister in my memory is magnanimous and generous, never fighting for anything and always giving in to her sisters. Why have you become so stingy today?"

"Anything else is negotiable, but Eighth Brother really isn't. He's the core of the project. If you take him away, I can't carry out my work here."

"Fine, fine, half a day it is. Eighth Brother has become the family's favorite; even Eldest Sister wants a piece of him~"

After hanging up, Shen Yinuo instructed Gu Yunfan that he must return to school before 6 PM.

Gu Yunfan drove to the Criminal Investigation Headquarters of the Beijing Public Security Bureau.

Amiya's team members came downstairs to meet him. After registering, they took him to the Third Squadron of the Major Crimes Division, where Amiya served as the Squadron Leader.

Whoa~

Quite a lot of people~

Gu Yunfan entered the Major Crimes Unit's conference room and saw over a dozen Criminal Police Officers gathered to discuss the case. A set of photos from the murder scene on the projector came into view.

"The all-rounder genius is here. Please, take a seat."

Amiya signaled her team members to bring him the case files and a non-disclosure agreement. Normally, non-investigative personnel have no right to view case files, but Gu Yunfan was outside help invited by Amiya and was authorized by the leadership to participate.

While Gu Yunfan was signing the non-disclosure agreement...

Amiya introduced him, saying, "This is Gu Yunfan, a student from Tsinghua-Peking University and also my Eighth Brother. He has a superhuman Photographic Memory and just helped us solve a serial murder case. Perhaps he can help us again. Everyone, let's give him a round of applause."

Clap clap clap clap... A female team member said infatuatedly, "Captain Ya, your Eighth Brother is so handsome! Does he have a girlfriend?"

Another female team member joined in the teasing, "Seeing him is better than hearing about him. A super scholar who got into Tsinghua-Peking with a score of 745, and he's skilled in both the arts and martial arts, incredibly handsome, and has an extraordinary temperament. Captain Ya, my heart is fluttering. Why don't you introduce your brother to me~"

Hiss... the male team members couldn't sit still.

Amiya grabbed a highlighter and tapped the table. "Hey, hey, hey, we're handling a case. Be serious!"

The two female team members pursed their lips and giggled, their eyes fixed on Gu Yunfan. That fervent gaze gave Amiya a sense of crisis.

Gu Yunfan gave a slight smile and began carefully flipping through the files, which recorded the details of the case.

Hmm?

The system rewarded me with Golden Pupil X-ray Visionlast night. Could it be useful for solving the case?

But just looking at the files is useless... After he finished reading, Amiya had a team member provide a verbal account to help Gu Yunfan organize the sequence of events and the relationships between the characters.

In summary: they had suspects, but lacked evidence and couldn't make an arrest.

Gu Yunfan stared at the crime scene photos on the projector, blinked, and activated his Golden Pupil, using his X-ray Vision and Photographic Memory to search for clues.

Chapter 78: Helping Fourth Sister Solve Big Cases Twice in a Row, the police flower Sister is Smitten

"How is it? Any findings or insights?"

After a while, Amiya asked the pondering Gu Yunfan.

Photos were two-dimensional light and shadow images; Gu Yunfan's X-ray Vision directly penetrated the photos, making it impossible to find evidence that might be hidden at the actual scene. Even watching the recordings, it was difficult to discover anything.

Everyone present was a top Criminal investigation elite. If the photos or videos contained evidence, they would have found it long ago. Not to mention looking at photos and videos, they had visited the crime scene hundreds of times, inspecting it over and over again, yet they had come up empty-handed.

Gu Yunfan took a sip of hot tea and replied, "Can we go to the scene to take a look?"

"Of course." Amiya signaled two team members to accompany them.

The group of four drove to Fangshan in the suburbs.

The crime scene was located in a remote mountain village. There were cameras on the main road, but none once they entered the village. Just looking at the footage made these Criminal Police Officers want to vomit.

After getting out of the car, Amiya said as she walked, "The suspect's anti-tracking awareness and methods are extremely strong. We brought trace evidence engineers to conduct over a hundred inspections, but we didn't find any fingerprints, hair, scent, or any other traces left by the suspect. Even the footprints were erased."

Gu Yunfan listened quietly and then asked, "Fourth Sister, I know you have profiling skills. Can you reconstruct the Criminal's movements at the scene? For example, how did he commit the murder? What was his path after the killing?"

"Of course. That's how I identified the suspect. Unfortunately, we lack the evidence to prosecute."

"Fourth Sister is impressive~"

"Impressive my foot. What's the use if the case can't be solved? I can only watch helplessly as the killer remains at large."

Amiya signaled her team members to unlock the door. "The General Detachment promised me a promotion. If I solve this murder case, I'll be promoted to deputy detachment leader. Whether I can take another step forward depends on you, kid~"

"What's the point of being a Deputy? If you're going to do it, be the Detachment Leader. Just wait, your brother will help you solve a few more major cases."

"Ha~, you certainly talk big~"

Amiya had one team member stand guard at the door and another in the yard. She and Gu Yunfan put on shoe covers, gloves, hairnets, masks, and other investigative gear before stepping lightly into the house. Although the crime had happened a while ago, the sealed bedroom still lingered with the smell of a decaying corpse.

"The victim was a 27-year-old woman, a left-behind wife, and a rural livestreamer..."

Blah blah... Amiya re-introduced the victim's information and the suspect, deepening Gu Yunfan's impression of the parties involved.

Gu Yunfan's gaze swept across the room. The computer, ring light, and other streaming equipment, as well as bedding and other personal items, had long been collected by the police as evidence. The bedroom was empty, with only a police cordon remaining.

"Like this, help me reconstruct the killer's process of attacking the victim."

"Okay!"

Amiya pointed at the computer desk. "The suspect was one of the victim's 'Big Brothers' from her stream. According to our analysis, this was a premeditated murder. Shortly after meeting, the killer pushed the victim onto the bed, covered her with the bedding, and held her head down, causing her to suffocate to death..."

Next, Amiya demonstrated the suspect's actions and the escape route.

Gu Yunfan activated his Golden Pupils X-ray Vision. First, he scanned the entire room like a camera, then focused on the range of the movement trajectory Amiya had reconstructed.

These inspection procedures were basic operations for Criminal investigations. Amiya had already led technical experts through a comprehensive check, even using a magnifying glass to inspect every corner, but they had found nothing.

Gu Yunfan stood for a while, crouched for a while, pressed against the wall, and crawled under the bed, seriously looking for evidence. Whether it was long or short hair, straight or curly, or skin tissue, the technicians had already collected everything. Not a single strand of hair could be found in the entire room.

"Fourth Sister is too meticulous in her work..." Gu Yunfanmarveled inwardly. Amiya wasn't idle either, holding a flashlight in her mouth as she searched along with him.

The two searched from after two in the afternoon until the sun went down, yielding nothing.

Buzz buzz buzz—

Amiya received a call from her Eldest Sister, Shen Yinuo.

"master detective, any luck? Don't forget, you must return Eighth Brother to me before 6 o'clock."

"Fine, fine, fine. I'll make sure he's at school by 6."

Amiya hung up and rubbed her sore neck. "Forget it, Eighth Brother. We've inspected the scene countless times. I'm very grateful you could come help me today. We'll think of other ways later."

"Hmm... returning empty-handed would be quite embarrassing..." Gu Yunfan looked solemn and remained silent.

"Alright~, let's go. It's getting dark, and it'll take over an hour to get back to the city." Amiya pulled Gu Yunfantoward the door.

Just as they were about to leave the bedroom, Gu Yunfan's eyes suddenly sharpened. He stopped and said, "Fourth Sister, wait a moment."

"What is it? Did you find something?"

Amiya followed his gaze and saw Gu Yunfan staring at the light switch panel. "Don't bother looking. We took the panel off and checked it before."

"Help me turn off the power." With a click, Gu Yunfanpried off the panel. His X-ray Vision had inadvertently discovered a short hair hidden in the conduit under the panel. The hair was relatively coarse and likely belonged to the killer.

Amiya went out to turn off the power and hurried back, looking slightly excited. "What's the situation? Did you find a clue?!"

"Do you have a screwdriver?" Gu Yunfan asked with the flashlight in his mouth.

"I have a folding knife."

Amiya took a multi-tool folding knife from her waist and handed it to him.

Gu Yunfan used the folding knife to unscrew the screws, removed the base plate, and reached his pinky finger into the conduit to poke around. A short hair with a follicle caught Amiya's eye.

Amiya's pupils suddenly dilated. Her intuition told her that this short hair was not ordinary!

"Don't move!!"

Amiya quickly took an evidence bag from her pocket and carefully placed the hair inside.

The team member standing guard in the yard heard the commotion and rushed in. "What's wrong, Captain Ya?!"

Amiya didn't say a word. She clutched the evidence bag and ran out the door. "Get in the car! Back to the station!"

She didn't have time to ask Gu Yunfan how he had found the hair; her only thought was to get back to the unit for a DNA comparison.

A routine DNA comparison takes 3-7 working days.

For major cases, expedited comparison takes at least 24 to 48 hours.

Amiya didn't go home; she waited outside the DNA identification room for the results.

24 hours later... Amiya got the DNA comparison report. She suddenly threw a punch in the air and shouted like she was going crazy, "It's him! It's really him! Notify all the brothers and sisters! Arrest him!!!"

In just two hours, the suspect was sent back to the interrogation room, but this time he was wearing silver handcuffs. With ironclad evidence, the killer had no choice but to confess.

Haha—

Eighth Brother is too amazing!!

At this moment, Amiya really wanted to grab Gu Yunfanand kiss him wildly. Helping her solve major cases twice in a row had completely conquered her heart.

Human nature is to admire the strong. The case she couldn't solve despite racking her brains was solved so easily by Gu Yunfan. The impact on her was too great.

After not sleeping for two days and one night, Amiyawasn't tired at all. After transferring the killer to the detention center, she drove home without stopping.

On the way, she bought some snacks at Nanluoguxiang. She wanted to tell Gu Yunfan and the family the good news so they could all celebrate together.

Chapter 79: Eighth Brother Isn't Yours Alone, You Have No Right to Monopolize Him

"Eighth Brother! Mom! Sisters, come here, come here. I have some good news for you~"

Amiya took the elevator up to the Middle Courtyard. Carrying snacks, she stood in the yard and called out to her family, looking radiant.

Zhao Siqing came out of the West Wing Room and asked curiously, "What good news? What has my police flowersister so excited?"

Shen Yinuo emerged from the East Wing Room wrapped in her pajamas and guessed, "Could it be that your case has been solved?"

It was late at night. Jiang Yujun was already in bed, but she got up and pulled open the second-floor window to look down. "What's wrong, Yaya?"

"Where is Eighth Brother?"

Amiya looked up at the third floor. "Is he asleep?"

"Not yet," came Gu Yunfan's response from the third-floor bedroom. A second later, his head poked out of the window. "What's up? Is there progress on the case?"

"Exactly!" Amiya's voice was full of excitement. "You're amazing! The killer has been caught and brought to justice. Faced with ironclad evidence, he confessed everything. You've helped me solve another murder case!"

"Oh~, congratulations! Does this mean Captain Ya is going to be promoted to deputy detachment leader?"

"Hahaha..."

Amiya lifted the snacks. "Come down, come down~ Call Xi Xi up too. I'm super happy tonight. Let's celebrate as a family. I really need to thank you!"

"You're too kind~"

Gu Yunfan put on his loungewear, went next door to wake up Jiang Ruoxi, and they went downstairs together.

Jiang Ruoxi said in surprise, "You helped Fourth Sistersolve another case? How? I didn't hear you mention it."

"I signed a non-disclosure agreement. I can't reveal the details to the outside world."

"Understood~"

Jiang Ruoxi was very curious about how Gu Yunfan had helped Fourth Sister solve the case.

As the two passed the second floor, Jiang Yujunhappened to come out of the master bedroom. She tucked her wavy hair behind her ear and asked curiously, "The murder case your Fourth Sister mentioned, is it the one you helped her with yesterday afternoon?"

"Yes."

"It was solved that quickly??"

Jiang Yujun habitually took Gu Yunfan's arm as they went downstairs to the dining room. Shen Yinuo and Zhao Siqing were asking Amiya for details. On the table were snacks like barbecue, stewed offal, and baked wheaten cakes. An Lingran had surgery tonight and hadn't finished work yet.

Seeing Gu Yunfan, Amiya immediately stood up and couldn't help but hug him in front of everyone. "Eighth Brother! You really are my lucky star!!"

Gu Yunfan felt a softness against his chest. It wasn't as soft as his Godmother's, but it was better than Jiang Ruoxi's and Murong Yan's, and about the same as Zhao Siqing's. "I didn't have time to ask yesterday, is there a reward for this case?"

"Pfft! You're so money-minded? Didn't you say you weren't interested in money? Didn't you say it was purely to help me get rid of a public menace?"

Amiya let go of Gu Yunfan and looked at him closely, her eyes burning with passion. If her family hadn't been there, she might not have been able to hold back.

Seeing this, Jiang Yujun felt a stir in her heart. Her IQ was extremely high. Although her observation skills weren't as sharp as her master detective daughter's, living under the same roof every day, she had a good idea of who liked Gu Yunfan and to what extent.

She even suspected that Zhao Siqing was involved with Gu Yunfan, as well as Jiang Ruoxi and Murong Yan, but without evidence, she didn't dare jump to conclusions.

She didn't want to think about it either; just the thought made her heart ache, like a needle prick.

"Sit, sit, everyone sit down~"

Amiya pulled Gu Yunfan and her mom to their seats and picked up a can of cola. "I'll use cola instead of wine to sincerely thank Eighth Brother for his full support!"

"Wait a minute, what's the situation? Can't you tell us?" Zhao Siqing was completely confused.

"The case is solved, so I can talk about it. Let's have a toast first, and then I'll tell you the details."

Amiya clinked her cola can against Gu Yunfan's.

In the middle of winter, a gulp of cola went down. Amiyafelt a mix of ice and fire. "Refreshing!"

"It's like this. Yesterday at noon, I contacted Eighth Brother..."

Amiya recounted the entire sequence of events.

Everyone had a look of disbelief after hearing it.

"A single hair only 1cm long? Hidden in the conduit inside the light switch box??"

Zhao Siqing looked at Gu Yunfan in shock. "How did you find it??"

"I have X-ray Vision~" Gu Yunfan said while eating a skewer.

"X-ray your head! Be serious!"

Zhao Siqing often said Gu Yunfan was a Transmigratorwith a System, but it was just a joke.

Jiang Yujun was picky about food and felt the barbecue Amiya bought was nowhere near as good as what her Godson made. She took only one bite and stopped, her full attention on her Godson. "Tell us, baby. Godmotherwants to know too."

"If I said it was intuition, would you believe me?"

Gu Yunfan couldn't explain his X-ray Vision, so he had to use metaphysics to bluff. "After Fourth Sisterreconstructed the killer's movements at the scene, we checked every corner but unfortunately found nothing. When we were leaving, I was drawn to the light switch on the wall. According to Fourth Sister's deduction, the killer committed the crime at night and turned off the lights when fleeing. Intuition told me there might be overlooked evidence inside the panel. To put it simply, I just got lucky."

"Lucky? Then your luck is too good. How could it be such a coincidence?"

Zhao Siqing felt Gu Yunfan's explanation was a bit far-fetched. "If you said you found the hair through the gaps in the panel thanks to your super memory and good eyesight, I might actually believe you."

"No, it was just intuition," Gu Yunfan said cryptically.

Amiya nodded slightly in full belief. "I believe Eighth Brother. When we police solve cases, we often rely on intuition too. You have to believe it. Many complex cases just can't be solved, and then suddenly one day, something clicks in your head—bang—and it's done!"

"True..."

Shen Yinuo empathized. "We in scientific research feel the same way. I've worked on many aerospace projects, and none of them were easy. Many problems couldn't be solved despite racking our brains, but a sudden flash of inspiration would unexpectedly fix it perfectly. However, that moment of inspiration requires countless pieces of information and experiments as a foundation. Eighth Brother's intuition came from being immersed in the scene and searching intently for a long time before it burst forth."

Jiang Yujun nodded her chin in summary. "As the saying goes, thoughts determine actions, and actions determine results. There's a magical law of nature called the Law of Attraction. When you focus on one thing, your brain sends a signal to the universe. Thoughts are like magnets, attracting matching people, events, and objects. Through information integration and action, problems are solved."

"Oh~, we're reaching philosophical heights now. It's getting more and more metaphysical~" Zhao Siqingquipped, though she felt it made a lot of sense.

"In any case, the result is good. What is talent? This is called talent!"

Amiya raised her cola again. "Eighth Brother is truly a godsend. Cheers, cheers! Keep helping me solve big cases in the future~"

"Hey, hey, hey!" Shen Yinuo got anxious. "Helping you once or twice is enough. Why are you getting addicted? Eighth Brother still needs to develop aviation engines with me. We agreed yesterday to only lend him to you for half a day. Why are you pushing your luck?"

"Aha~, Eighth Brother isn't yours alone. You have no right to monopolize him~"

Amiya had already developed feelings for Gu Yunfan and only wanted to spend more time with him. She really liked the feeling of solving cases with him.
