Shortly after Yu Hua left, Yu Xuan heard the doorbell ring and immediately rushed to open it. However, she was surprised to see her husband, Bei Xiang, standing at the door. “What did you come here for? Didn’t you kick me out of your house already?”
“Wife-”
“I’m not coming back to your house for now.” Yu Xuan directly interrupted her husband. After having sex with Chen Li yesterday, she was in a dilemma to face her husband. On the one hand, she wanted to return to her husband for the sake of their children. But on the other hand, she also felt guilty towards them, for she had an affair with another man. “Let me think calmly first.”
Bei Xiang frowned momentarily upon hearing his wife’s words, but he nodded in agreement. “All right, if you calm down and think things through, you can return to our house.”
“I know.” Yu Xuan nodded, immediately closed the apartment door, and sat on the floor. “Sigh, what should I do now? I no longer have the courage to face my husband and children.”

Meanwhile, a man was sitting in front of Xiao Xianglin and reported to her about Shen Lu’s father’s action, making her frown. “Why is Shen Hu checking our database?”
“He only told me he was investigating a man who had beaten Yang Chen and Bei Qiang.” The man answered respectfully.
“A man? And he dared to beat up the two men?” Xiao Xianglin frowned even more upon hearing that. “Did he tell you anything about the man?”
The man nodded at her. “Shen Hu told me that the man was in his early twenties, had long silver hair, and had a metal superpower.”
“Eh?” Xiao Xianglin was shocked after hearing that. “Are you sure Shen Hu said that man has a metal superpower?”
“Yes.” The man nodded. “However, Shen Hu did not find that man’s identity in our database, so it is most likely he just awakened his superpower.”
Xiao Xianglin nodded in agreement with him. “You’re right! If that guy has metal superpower, he will be of great use to our country, so we must find him and recruit him to our bureau.”
“But how are we supposed to find the man?” the man asked in confusion.
“Hmm?” Xiao Xianglin fell silent and thought about it first, and soon she stood up. “You can send some people to interrogate Yang Chen and Bei Qiang, and I’ll go see Wei’er to ask for her help; we might be able to find the man sooner if she’s willing to help us.”
“Yes, I will immediately send some people to interrogate them.” The man immediately went to carry out Xiao Xianglin’s order.
Xiao Xianglin immediately walked out, contacted Chen Wei’er, and left the office.

Yang House
Bei Lian’er seemed to be sitting alone glumly in front of the minibar at her home, accompanied by a glass of red wine and a Capri in her hand.
“That damn little girl! She even dared to threaten me!” Bei Lian’er shouted angrily, smoked the capri in her hand, and from the way she smoked, it was clear that she was used to smoking. “What should I do now? Should I tell my husband about this matter? But if I tell him, he will definitely suppress Feng Ao, let alone he has so many friends with superpowers. If that happens, there will definitely be a huge commotion between them.”
*Tap… Tap…*
Bei Lian’er turned towards the entrance and looked at Yu Hua who was walking towards her in surprise. “I thought you wouldn’t come back, Sister Hua.”
“Did you expect me not to come back here? Since I’m still Yang Lang’s first wife, I will return here.” Yu Hua replied with a faint smile, and then sat beside Bei Lian’er. “But why are you angry? Is something bothering you? You’re not usually like this.”
“Of course I’m glad you’re back here.” But Bei Lian’er’s expression immediately became angry again. “Earlier, I went to meet Feng Ao and Feng Xian’er, but he chased me away, and that damn little girl also threatened me.”
“Oh? They dare do such a thing to you?” Yu Hua asked in surprise, for she still didn’t know Mo Xie was Chen Li. “Anyway, rather than you being gloomy like this, and our husband is also busy with his client. How about we go have some fun tonight? I’ll invite Xuan to go with us, and we can have fun at karaoke.”
Bei Lian’er looked at Yu Hua curiously, especially since their relationship wasn’t good, and it was unusual for Yu Hua to invite her to have fun together. However, since she felt very angry with Feng Xian’er, she finally agreed. “Alright, I’ll come with you two tonight.”
Yu Hua smiled faintly after hearing that. She then went behind the bar, poured a glass of wine, and her hand typed messages on her smartphone without Bei Lian’er noticing.
After that, Yu Hua decided to accompany Bei Lian’er, and they had small talk.

Meanwhile, three men were sitting together on the balcony of a villa, and the blonde-haired man seemed to be thinking seriously. Before long, he sighed softly and spoke to his two friends. “A few days ago, my people were killed, and the killer was clearly an expert.”
“What?” The two men shouted loudly.
Yu Wen then asked. “How could that be, Aotian?”
“I don’t know.” Long Aotian shook his head at him. “Luo Zhenhai already investigated their deaths, but he and the others found no fingerprints. Moreover, their base didn’t have CCTV, so he didn’t find any clues.”
“Could it be that their killer has something to do with the killer of the people in that alley?” Shen Yu asked.
Long Aotian nodded to him. “Although their deaths are different, there is a possibility that the killer is the same person. Anyway, what’s with that silver-haired man? Why did he beat up Yang Chen and Bei Qiang?”
Shen Lu shrugged his shoulders. “According to them, the silver-haired man is Feng Xian’er’s new lover, but no one knows his identity. I even asked my father to check the bureau’s superpower database, but he couldn’t find anyone with the same features.”
“Hmm?” Long Aotian raised his eyebrows upon hearing that. “I thought Bei Qiang had already proposed to Feng Xian’er, but it seems he was rejected by her again.”
“That’s right, Feng Xian’er rejected his proposal; she even beat Uncle Bei, making his hand bones fall apart.” Yu Wen pondered for a moment before continuing. “Anyway, I feel a bit strange about her relationship with that silver-haired man.”
“What do you mean by that?” Long Aotian and Shen Lu asked simultaneously.
Yu Wen immediately explained to us. “Don’t you guys feel weird about their relationship? We all know that Feng Xian’er has never been close to any man other than Chen Li, but she suddenly started dating another guy who appeared out of nowhere, and we can’t even figure out his identity.”
Upon hearing that, Long Aotian and Shen Lu fell silent, and they recalled Feng Xian’er and Chen Li’s relationship in the past, especially since the two of them had never been separated. That’s why, they decided to lure and beat Chen Li together four months ago, so she would be willing to accept Bei Qiang, but the situation became strange.
Shen Lu then asked. “Are you saying the silver-haired man is Chen Li?”
“I don’t know for sure.” Yu Wen replied with a shake of the head. “We all know that Chen Li is a weak guy. If it wasn’t for Feng Xian’er protecting him, he would have died long ago.”
“That’s true.” Shen Lu answered with a nod.
Long Aotian shook his head and spoke. “I’m not sure that the silver-haired man is Chen Li, especially since Chen Zhen and Lin Qingzhu are also ordinary people. Of their family, only Chen Wei’er has superpower, so it’s impossible for him to awaken any superpowers.”
The two men nodded in agreement, and Shen Lu asked him. “So what are you going to do, Aotian? We have to find that silver-haired man before Xiao Xianglin finds him, or we won’t be able to crush him.”
*Tap… Tap…*
Long Aotian tapped his fingers on the table and thought deeply, he was trying to figure out the right way to find Chen Li, especially since they had to compete with Xiao Xianglin. After a while, he took out his smartphone, made a call to someone, and ordered that person to do something.
Shen Lu and Yu Wen were utterly shocked by Long Aotian’s words, and they did not expect him to do such a thing.
After Long Aotian cut off the call, Shen Lu asked him. “Do you really want to send that person over to do it?”
“Why did you order him to do that to that little girl?” Yu Wen also asked in confusion.
“We have no other choice, right? So I was forced to send that person.” Long Aotian answered with a helpless shrug. “Since we have to get ahead of Xiao Xianglin, I can only use that man to help us. However, he won’t follow our orders if I don’t do something about his daughter.”
“Well, that’s true.” Yu Wen nodded repeatedly. “That man is an upright person, so he definitely wouldn’t help us if he didn’t feel compelled to.”
Shen Lu couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, for he didn’t want to involve the person Long Aotian contacted before, let alone involve a little girl in their troubles.
Long Aotian then stood up. “You don’t need to think about it and let that fellow do his thing. Let’s go have fun; I’ll treat you guys at that place.”
Hearing that, Shen Lu and Yu Wen’s eyes lit up, and they immediately followed Long Aotian out of the villa.
