With three superpowers at his fingertips, he could dominate the 1970s.

The next morning, the Su family ate breakfast in the main courtyard as usual.

The group of people at the table chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was no different from usual. Su Jinglun sat at the head of the table as usual, slowly drinking his millet porridge, just like any other ordinary morning.

Su Wenhao sat alone in the corner, with dark circles under his eyes, clearly indicating he hadn't slept well the night before. He kept his head down, eating his rice, not daring to even look at the eggs, afraid someone would bring up that incident again.

Lin Manzhi sat beside him, sipping her porridge slowly, her expression as gentle and shy as ever. Halfway through her meal, she put down her chopsticks and spoke softly.

"Wenhao, could you show me around Kyoto today? It's my first time here."

Her voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of coquettishness at the end. Normally, Su Wenhao would have eagerly responded. But today, he only felt waves of tightness in his stomach, and he couldn't even hold his chopsticks properly.

Shen Peiyu kicked him under the table, the force not too light, but not too heavy, hitting his shinbone squarely. Su Wenhao jolted in pain and looked up to meet his grandmother's smiling face.

"Wenhao, why don't you take Comrade Lin out for a walk?"

Shen Peiyu spoke so naturally, with a kind smile on her lips, as if nothing had happened yesterday.

Su Wenhao was stunned by the kick, his lips trembling, and it took him a long time to stammer a reply.

"Okay...okay, okay."

He forced himself to look at Jiang Zhiyu, as if he had grasped at the last straw.

"Little cousin, are you busy today? Why don't you come with me to keep Manzhi company?"

Before he could finish speaking, Su Jinglun slammed his chopsticks on the table with a "bang," his eyes wide with surprise.

"You brat, what are you thinking about all day! Don't you know how busy your cousin is?"

He reached out and patted Su Wenhao on the back of the head. The force wasn't great, but the crisp sound was clearly audible throughout the entire dining table.

"Besides, what kind of relationship is it with your cousin coming along when you two go out for some alone time?"

Su Wenhao shrank back, feeling bitter inside. He stole a glance at Lin Manzhi, his heart filled with indescribable emotions. Just a while ago, he thought this girl was gentle and charming, his heart and eyes filled with her. But after that devastating blow last night, he realized that so-called liking was nothing more than that. That little flutter of the heart wasn't as real as the shock he felt yesterday.

He has absolutely no desire to spend time with this person anymore.

He pitifully turned his gaze back to Jiang Zhiyu, his eyes full of pleading for help.

Jiang Zhiyu didn't even lift her eyelids, continuing to drink her porridge and completely ignoring him.

Who is Lin Manzhi? She was extremely perceptive. At this point in the meal, she immediately sensed something was amiss. Yesterday, Su Wenhao had been calling her "Manzhi" sweetly, but today he suddenly changed his address, joining the Su family in calling her "Comrade Lin." The "Comrade Lin" that came out of his mouth sounded stiff and hesitant.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she began to quickly recall her words and actions since entering the house, wondering if there was anything that the Su family disliked, or if she had revealed any flaws.

She ate in small bites, spoke softly, smiled gently when she saw the two children, respectfully called Su Jinglun and Shen Peiyu "Grandpa" and "Grandma," and obediently called Jiang Zhiyu "Cousin"... From beginning to end, she never made a mistake.

Maybe... she's overthinking it.

She comforted herself, thinking that perhaps the Su family had given Su Wenhao a warning, telling him to behave himself before their engagement. After all, this family had old-fashioned ways, and it was indeed inappropriate for an unmarried woman to be too intimate.

Thinking about it this way, she felt a little better, and that gentle smile returned to her lips.

Shen Peiyu took a handkerchief pouch out of her pocket, opened it, and inside was a wad of cash and bills. She casually placed it next to Su Wenhao and patted his arm.

"Don't be stingy when we go out, or Comrade Lin will feel wronged. Buy whatever you want."

Looking at her grandson's tearful, aggrieved eyes, she felt helpless. This couldn't be rushed; she could only wait for the investigation results.

Su Wenhao dejectedly put the money into his pocket, dawdled as he stood up, and led Lin Manzhi out the door.

……

Once the two figures disappeared outside the gate, the atmosphere at the dinner table instantly changed.

Jiang Zhiyu put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and got up to go to her study. She picked up the phone and dialed a number.

When Yan Nantian received the call, he was reviewing documents in his office at the Guanghan Bureau. Upon hearing Jiang Zhiyu's account, his tone immediately turned serious.

"Mr. Jiang, I understand. I'll give you an accurate answer within three days."

Jiang Zhiyu chuckled.

"Thank you for your help, Director Yan."

"Of course."

The whole family watched anxiously as Jiang Zhiyu made the phone call. Only after she put down the receiver and turned around did Su Jinglun finally ask her a question.

"Is that all?"

Jiang Zhiyu shrugged and smiled.

"What else can we do? Let professionals handle professional tasks. As for me, I'm the one giving orders or asking for help, is that not allowed?"

Su Jinglun chuckled at her words, shook his head, and said nothing more.

……

Yan Nantian hung up the phone, his face darkening.

He was even more nervous than Jiang Zhiyu. At this crucial juncture in the establishment of the Guanghan Bureau, anyone appearing around Jiang Zhiyu was highly suspicious. Without a moment's delay, he immediately drew upon the most capable personnel from the intelligence team, formed a special task force on the spot, and retrieved all of Shen Changqing's information.

The speed was much faster than Jiang Zhiyu had expected.

That evening, Jiang Zhiyu was summoned to the central government.

The conference room was brightly lit, and a thick stack of files was spread out on the long table. Old Gao sat in the main seat, Yan Nantian sat to one side, and there were several other faces that Jiang Zhiyu couldn't name, but judging from their shoulder insignia, they were all colonels or higher.

Yan Nantian pushed the file in front of her.

"Mr. Jiang, please take a look first."

Jiang Zhiyu turned to the first page and quickly scanned it.

Shen Changqing, male, born in 1935, is from Hebei Province. He joined Limin Electromechanical Plant in 1956, where he served successively as technician, workshop director, and deputy factory director. During his tenure overseeing external business, he maintained business relationships with several foreign-invested and joint-venture enterprises.

She continued scrolling down.

The last page of the file was stamped with a red seal with two large characters written on it: "Secret Investigation".

Yan Nantian spoke up from the side.

"This person is a mole planted by Country M within the country for over twenty years. His main task is to investigate the information and assets carried by returning overseas Chinese. In the past two years, the number of returning overseas Chinese has increased dramatically, which has greatly angered Country M. Even with such a high departure tax, it still can't stop people from going back."

He paused, then looked at Jiang Zhiyu.

"Especially the Su family. When Su Lixing returned from the US, a large amount of gold and cash he had purchased disappeared without a trace. All the procedures were legal and compliant, but they just couldn't find anything. The US side suffered a silent loss and couldn't swallow it. That's why they activated this long-buried pawn, wanting to investigate how the Su family did it, and also wanting to take the opportunity to find out what cards the Su family has up their sleeve."

Jiang Zhiyu's expression remained unchanged as she turned the last page and closed the file.

"Any suspicions about me?"

"Not yet," Yan Nantian shook his head, "but they vaguely know that the Su family has you behind them, that former national special ability user. This forces them to investigate further."

"What about deeper?"

"It hasn't been uncovered yet."

Jiang Zhiyu nodded, leaned back in her chair, and spoke softly.

"Anything that's not related to the moon is a minor matter."

Old Gao sat opposite him and slowly nodded.

"Yes. Especially now that the endpoint of the passage on Earth hasn't been determined, we can't let any suspicious person get away."

He turned to look at Yan Nantian, his tone turning somber.

"Recently, you need to thoroughly investigate everyone that Director Jiang's family has come into contact with. Conduct a triple investigation; don't overlook any clues."

Yan Nantian nodded.

Old Gao then gave instructions to the guards behind him.

"Secretly arrange for more guards at the Su family residence. Also, arrange for guards at the Song family's residence. Better safe than sorry."

The guard obeyed and went out.

The colonel opened another document and began to speak.

"We have secretly taken Shen Changqing into custody. However, his superior is still unwilling to speak and is still under interrogation."

He turned to look at Jiang Zhiyu.

"Chief Engineer Jiang, what are your thoughts on handling Lin Manzhi's situation?"

Jiang Zhiyu waved her hand, her tone as casual as if she were asking what to have for dinner.

"Just an unsuspecting pawn. You don't need to worry about it."

……

Late at night, in the Su family courtyard.

The lights in the main courtyard were still on. No one in the family was asleep; they were all sitting in the living room waiting. Su Wenhao sat in the corner, his hands clasped together, staring anxiously at the gate.

The gate finally rang.

Jiang Zhiyu pushed open the door and came in with a relaxed expression on her face, without even frowning.

The hearts that had been hanging in suspense finally settled down with a thud.

Su Wenhao was the first to rush over, lowering his voice and speaking rapidly.

"Cousin! How did it go? She...she really did try to drag me to her room tonight! Luckily, Grandma was there, otherwise...otherwise she wouldn't have pulled me away."

Jiang Zhiyu rolled her eyes at him and twitched her lips.

"Look at you, so pathetic. She's just a girl, do you think she can pull you along?"

Su Wenhao nodded without any confidence, looking terrified.

"Cousin, this is truly the first time I've ever encountered something like this. I'll never date again, not even if you paid me! It's just... just..."

He struggled for a long time, unable to find the right word.

Jiang Zhiyu was so angry that she laughed.

"You're like someone who's been bitten by a snake once and is now afraid of even a rope for ten years. Is it really that serious? She just has ulterior motives, that's all. From a woman's perspective, there's nothing wrong with her wanting to climb the social ladder. It's just that getting pregnant is immoral."

"And don't you want to hear her story with the neighbor's kid's father?"

Su Wenhao shook his head vigorously, taking a step back.

"I'm not listening anymore! Cousin, please stop teasing me!"

He had a pained expression on his face and clasped his hands together.

"So, tell me, what are we going to do with this old lady now?"

Jiang Zhiyu patted his shoulder and smiled meaningfully.

"What can you do? Just go back to Bei'an County tomorrow and take her with you."
