Regarding the matter of awakening lightning abilities after transformation

Ahem, Gu Cheng, that's too gossipy of you!

The two chatted on the phone for a long time, but when they saw that it was getting late, Gu Cheng took the initiative to hang up.

"Wanwan, Sister Xuewei really does have the idea of ​​strengthening cooperation."

The mimic ghosts had been active in the Soviet Union for the past few years, so their connections in China were relatively weak. Su Wanxi, on the other hand, had the powerful Su family in Beijing behind her, and Jiang Xuewei needed them to provide opportunities and channels.

Gu Cheng is the most important link among them.

Upon hearing this, Su Wanxi blinked, her dark hair scattered on the pillow making her skin appear even whiter.

"Orange, where are you planning to meet them?"

Regardless of what others think, Su Wanxi, as the eldest daughter of the Su family, receives almost as much attention as Su Changqing in the eyes of some people.

Gu Cheng thought for a moment, then hesitantly asked her, "How about we invite An Zhishui to our home as a guest?" With the double protection of lightning manipulation and mimicry ghosts, their conversation would not be leaked in any form.

Even if the enemy attempts to violently invade, gravity crushing and concept erasure can eliminate the target immediately.

Su Wanxi naturally took this into consideration, and the safest approach was indeed to do as Gu Cheng suggested and have them meet at the apartment.

"Orange, didn't you previously say you didn't want anyone to come into our house?" the woman asked her gently.

Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then belatedly realized what Su Wanxi was talking about.

When Su Yuanjun came over that time, she practically wore her jealousy on her sleeve.

This is their future love nest, Gu Cheng said.

Even now, the girl still can't understand why she harbors such hostility towards her fiancée's younger brother, even though Su Wanshan gives her a completely different feeling.

"It's alright, Wanwan. We're just talking about work. Your wife isn't that petty."

Even if An Zhishui wasn't there to discuss cooperation, but simply came to visit and freeload a meal, Gu Cheng would still warmly welcome her and buy a lot of delicious food to cook for her.

She seemed to simply dislike Su Yuanjun, who gave Gu Cheng a feeling that she couldn't quite put her finger on but was particularly uncomfortable with.

Of course, she couldn't tell Su Wanxi this directly, otherwise she would become the bad woman who ruined their sibling relationship.

"Chengzi just said...my wife?" Su Wanxi immediately grasped the key point, her tone smiling.

When they officially became a couple, he repeatedly emphasized that he was Su Wanwan's husband.

"..." Gu Cheng.

It just came out naturally.

"What...you don't want to..." Suppressing her shame, the girl could only continue the conversation.

The next second, Su Wanxi sat up, her two fair and delicate legs gently resting on the edge of the bed.

“I’m willing,” the woman said with a smile. “It’s just that President Su didn’t expect his little wife to suddenly become so perceptive.”

This is clearly pushing their luck!

"Su Wanwan...once I recover, I will definitely punish you on the spot..."

Gu Cheng pouted and glanced at her, then whispered a coquettish complaint.

Su Wanxi smiled slightly, her soft hand brushing against the shoulder strap, whether intentionally or unintentionally, revealing her delicate collarbone and two fair and smooth shoulders beneath her nightgown.

This woman is damnably sweet.

Gu Cheng used to think that she was pinned down simply because she wasn't strong enough. But after doing it more often, she realized that in this kind of infighting, the more sensitive a person's body is, the easier it is for them to be pinned down.

Unfortunately, she happened to be the type of person who would go weak at the slightest touch from Su Wanxi.

Su Wanxi smiled, got out of bed, and filled Gu Cheng's thermos with water.

"Then I'll wait for you."

..............

Chapter 377, Section 383: A Genius One in a Billion

On the second day after Gu Cheng was hospitalized, Jiang Xuewei also came to visit her with milk and a fruit basket. After a night of rest, the girl looked much better, and her shoulder no longer caused her excruciating pain from even slight movements.

In the early morning, the doctor adjusted the position of her bandages, and Gu Cheng was finally able to get up and wash normally without needing Su Wanxi to worry about everything. Even so, the latter still retained some of her habits.

For example, occasionally feed them some fruit.

"Ms. Su, is this where you're working?"

Upon entering, Jiang Xuewei scanned the room from afar. Apart from the necessary living furniture, the only other thing in the ward was a large birchwood dining table, on which a laptop and a brown-gray briefcase were neatly arranged.

Su Wanxi nodded and told the other person to sit wherever they liked. Jiang Xuewei put down her things and slowly sat down diagonally opposite the woman.

Jiang Xuewei already knew the general situation of Gu Cheng from An Zhishui. All she wanted to say was to rest and take good care of herself. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Jiang Xuewei brought her index finger to her lips and gently shook it.

The bio-electric radar spread rapidly, and there were no extra electronic devices or malicious eavesdroppers lurking in the corners within its detection range.

Gu Cheng blinked, indicating that everything was normal. Jiang Xuewei adjusted her glasses and asked, "You've fought with Cheng Hao?"

Although it was a question, the tone was exceptionally certain. Gu Cheng gave a soft "hmm" and then added, "Mending rifts is indeed a very peculiar ability." It can either cut off space to prevent the transmission of abilities or repair wounds and reconnect limbs.

It is practically flawless.

"Even so, you still managed to repel him." Jiang Xuewei looked at Gu Cheng approvingly, her knee lightly touching the table leg.

Su Wanxi, standing to the side, was looking down at her laptop, her slender, white fingers resting on the keyboard for a long time without moving.

"Just lucky," Gu Cheng explained, lowering her eyes. She was being overly modest. If the girl were given another chance to face Cheng Hao, he still wouldn't be a match for her.

Being a dual-ability user is not as simple as one plus one equals two. Perhaps in the early stages of awakening, the difference between Gu Cheng and others is not apparent, but the further one progresses, the more her advantages will become apparent.

In terms of sheer mental strength alone, no one can gain the upper hand against her.

He also mentioned Sister Xuewei...

"What about me?"

Gu Cheng paused briefly, then changed her words: "Cheng Hao said you stole something very important from him."

Jiang Xuewei was stunned for a moment, then her lips curled up slightly.

"Ling Yi".

If Ling Yi hadn't actively amplified "Shadow Shuttle" during the infiltration operation two years ago, Jiang Xuewei would most likely have been left in the lab by Cheng Hao.

“I guessed so.” Gu Cheng smiled and took a small sip of warm water. “He was clearly gritting his teeth when he spoke.”

It's clear that Ling Yi's importance to them is self-evident.

"Sister Xuewei, do you remember the lecture we heard about paranormal phenomena in the Soviet Union?"

"Professor Chester Brook's lecture? The one about proving the existence of the soul." Jiang Xuewei frowned upon hearing this and asked softly, "What's wrong? Have you made a new discovery?"

Gu Cheng touched her hair, a few glints of light flashing in her brown eyes.

"In this encounter, Cheng Hao gave me a very unstable feeling." The girl's tone became particularly serious, her moist cherry lips opening and closing: "Judging from the strength of his abilities, he is far above A-level, but when it comes to S-level, he did not put enough pressure on me."

The man is stuck in the middle, neither up nor down.

"You suspect that your previous conjecture is likely true?"

They had long suspected Ling Yi's current state, and it was highly likely that Cheng Hao had taken away a part of the latter's soul. Gu Cheng's statement also indirectly confirmed this view.

"If superpowers are truly bound to the soul, then Cheng Hao's sudden increase in power can only be explained in this way."

"..." Su Wanxi.

Has Gu Cheng been hiding a lot from her? She can't understand a word of what Gu Cheng is saying.

"Wanwan, you were already at Rank A a few years ago. What are your thoughts on being promoted to Rank S?"

Finally noticing that he had been neglecting his fiancée, Gu Cheng timely threw the topic to Su Wanxi, who thought for a moment and replied gently, "Going from A to S is a hundred times harder than going from D to A."

This is not just a difference in experience and time, but more about talent and understanding.

In addition to absolute control over their abilities, those who are promoted to S-rank must also understand the essence of their abilities.

For example, Gu Chengyan once thought she could only eliminate matter, but as her abilities improved, she gradually realized that she could erase the energy attached to the corresponding matter.

"If what you say is true, and Cheng Hao achieves the leap from A to S level within two years, then there are only two possibilities."

"Either he is a one-in-a-billion genius, or he is temporarily maintaining his A-level or higher status with the help of external forces."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuewei subconsciously looked at Gu Cheng, who was also looking at her calmly.

Based on this judgment, the conclusion is obvious: Cheng Hao transplanted a fragment of Ling Yi's soul into himself. The only doubt is that Ling Yi had already broken free from the other party's control two years ago.

"Lin Shusheng," Jiang Xuewei whispered. "Perhaps he also has a part of..."

This explains why the crow went to such lengths to steal Lin Shusheng's body.

Feeling the conversation was getting increasingly down-to-earth, Gu Cheng let out a soft sigh and reached out to smooth out the wrinkles on her hospital gown.

"Guessing is just guessing. Maybe I can catch him and have a good talk when we meet again."

Next time, Cheng Hao will definitely not be as lucky as he was yesterday.

......

Before they knew it, it was lunchtime. Jiang Xuewei had no intention of staying in the ward to eat with them. Seeing that Gu Cheng looked radiant and was indeed alright, she stood up and said goodbye to the two of them.

No sooner had Jiang Xuewei left than the Su family's housekeeper, who was in charge of delivering meals, arrived. Su Wanxi took the meal box and slowly set up her computer desk.

"Cheng, were you and Jiang Xuewei talking about the Soviet Union?"

She was completely confused.

Gu Cheng carefully sat up straight, took the fork, and said, "Mmm."

Ultimately, these are all personal conjectures mixed with subjective ideas. Perhaps the truth is really as Su Wanxi said: Cheng Hao is a one-in-a-billion genius.

"Wanwan, I'll tell you slowly after we finish eating."

Su Wanxi didn't dwell on it after hearing this and reached out to open the lunchbox.

Chicken breast, broccoli, and cherry tomatoes—the colors alone make it quite tempting.

After having lunch with Gu Cheng, Su Wanxi moved the single bed that Gu Cheng had slept on a bit closer to her fiancée's bed, so that the original distance of a little over half a meter was almost touching.

"..." Gu Cheng.
