Time rewound to the day of the incident.
After Yu Xiuli left, Gu Xia went upstairs to take a shower, preparing to lie down early.
Then she heard a strange noise...
She put on her loungewear with caution and went out to check.
That's when she saw an extra person in the living room, appearing suddenly at some unknown time.
Because the lighting downstairs was dim, the figure was blurry, causing Gu Xia's hairs to stand on end.
Before Gu Xia could speak, the person spoke first.
He said, "Gu Xia, haven't you always wanted to meet me? Here I am."
Gu Xia was taken aback at first, but she quickly realized the identity of the visitor.
Why had Gu Xia originally volunteered to transfer from the patrol team to the Special Arrest Team?
She had not forgotten her initial intention; she wanted to meet someone from Zone 9.
Previously, Lu You had also mentioned that people from there had contacted Old Gu through Elder Lu, but Old Gu adamantly refused.
