Chapter 1023: Helping His Sister Clean Up

Editor: Henyee Translations

Xiao Cheng was the first to react with irritation. He elbowed Ye Hanchen playfully. “Move over, you blockhead. Don’t you have a sister of your own?”

In his family alone, his sister had three brothers. Besides Lin Ran, now Ye Hanchen had joined the mix.

At that moment, Ye Qingzi’s surprised voice came from outside the mall.

“Brother! You’re back in the capital!”

Qin Shuzhen approached with a smile. “Hanchen, you’re back? Why didn’t you let me know in advance?”

Ye Hanchen’s expression remained cold. “It’s a mission requirement. It wasn’t convenient to reveal.”

Ye Qingzi’s gaze turned frosty when she saw Gu Yang. She had overheard the conversation between Ye Hanchen and Xiao Cheng and felt that Gu Yang was trying to take her brother away.

Despite Ye Hanchen’s icy demeanor, Qin Shuzhen’s warmth was evident. She missed her son, who was away most of the year, and bombarded him with questions.

“Are there any new missions after this one? Now that you’re back in the capital, do you plan to stay home for a while? It’s almost the Mid-Autumn Festival. You didn’t come back last year. When are you leaving this time?”

Gu Yang had already reunited with Gu Jin, Tong Wan, and Ruan Xueling and was now guiding Xiao Cheng over.

Ye Hanchen glanced at the siblings before turning his attention back to Qin Shuzhen’s worried face. He said curtly, “I don’t have any new missions for now.”

“Can we go home then?” Qin Shuzhen asked.

“Yes,” Ye Hanchen replied.

Qin Shuzhen smiled and pulled him toward the parking lot. “Alright, let’s stay a bit longer this time.”

Ye Qingzi stood to the side, feeling a twinge of annoyance as she watched her brother’s mother, who seemed to be the center of attention.

“Yangyang, are you alright?” Ruan Xueling rushed forward and embraced Gu Yang tightly.

Gu Jin and Tong Wan, both mutants, knew that Gu Yang, being an SSS-rank mutant, was in no real danger, so they weren’t overly concerned. They had waited outside, confident she would be fine.

However, Ruan Xueling, being an ordinary person, couldn’t help but worry, especially when she thought of the criminal with a gun in the mall and how long Gu Yang had been inside.

Gu Yang hugged her reassuringly. “Mom, I’m fine.”

Tong Wan sighed with relief and comforted Ruan Xueling. “It’s good that you’re safe. Everyone says our Yangyang is amazing. She’ll always be fine.”

Xiao Cheng, standing beside her, said, “That’s right. She’s incredible. She took on two criminals by herself and subdued them.”

Immediately, Gu Jin, Tong Wan, and Ruan Xueling’s eyes turned to Gu Yang.

Ruan Xueling was astonished. Looking at the delicate and gentle girl in front of her, she questioned if she had heard correctly. “By herself? But you said the criminals were armed?”

Tong Wan was also taken aback. She had known Gu Yang was a hypnotist and assumed she could handle herself and avoid danger. She hadn’t anticipated that Gu Yang would confront the criminals directly.

Fear briefly flickered across her face. Despite their strong physiques, mutants were still vulnerable to bullets.

“Yangyang…”

Gu Yang took her hand. “It’s okay, Mom. Didn’t you say it already? I’m super awesome!”

The only one who wasn’t surprised was Gu Jin.

Gu Jin had suspected what might have happened when Gu Yang took so long to come out. She remained calm because she knew the full story.

At that moment, she was holding a phone displaying the mall’s elevator surveillance footage. She had witnessed the entire ordeal. Before leaving, she had erased the footage from the elevator and cleaned up any remaining evidence.
