Gu Yi — Closing In
Gu Yi didn't know someone else had entered the game.
But his pace changed.
Faster.
More focused.
What started as curiosity—
Had become something else.
He had a location now.
A building.
And today—
He decided to confirm it.
Observation
He didn't approach directly.
Instead—
He waited across the street.
Inside his car.
Watching.
People came and went.
Normal.
Routine.
Until—
The door opened.
There She Is
Shui Mingyun stepped out.
Simple clothes.
Hair tied back.
Nothing flashy.
Nothing attention-grabbing.
But to him—
She stood out instantly.
His grip tightened on the steering wheel.
"…Mingyun."
Not Alone
Then—
Three small figures followed her.
His breath stopped.
Children.
Not one.
Not two.
Three.
The Confirmation
This time—
He saw clearly.
Their faces.
Their expressions.
Something in his chest twisted violently.
Too similar.
Too familiar.
"…That's impossible."
But his eyes didn't lie.
At the Same Time
Across the street—
On a different angle—
Another pair of eyes watched the same scene.
The investigator.
Silent.
Still.
Taking everything in.
The Realization
He didn't react outwardly.
But internally—
The calculation shifted.
Children.
That wasn't in the records.
Which meant—
This situation…
Was far more complicated than expected.
