After that day, the system went to apply to the main system and seemed to vanish entirely.
Gu Jianing thought it would take a long time, but today, the system unexpectedly approved the reward.
This counted as an extra pleasant surprise.
She was just curious about what the reward would be.
[Ding! In recognition of the host’s high-quality task completion, a special reward is granted: Eyes That See Through Falsehood!]
Eyes That See Through Falsehood?
What was this?
[Eyes That See Through Falsehood: Installed invisibly in the host’s eyes. When focusing on a person for 5 seconds, their true information will appear, including their name, deeds, past actions, etc. Note: The Eyes That See Through Falsehood can be used for 50 years, with unlimited usage. Regardless of whether the target has undergone plastic surgery, changed outfits, transformed, disguised themselves, etc., it will not affect the results.]
After reading, Gu Jianing suddenly understood—so it was something like this.
In other words, even if someone had plastic surgery, Gu Jianing could still recognize who they were and know their specific information.
“This is practically a fortune-telling cheat tool.”
Gu Jianing thought that if she hadn’t already taken on the role of a doctor, she could have relied on these Eyes That See Through Falsehood to become a fortune teller.
No matter how well someone disguised themselves, she could see through it and even reveal their past deeds.
“Ningning, are you going to Capital University this afternoon? Do you want me to go with you?” Just then, Sheng Zexi walked in.
Gu Jianing’s gaze fixed on him for exactly five seconds.
Then, she saw rows of text floating above Sheng Zexi’s head.
It included his name, who his parents were, his spouse and children, his current position, identity, and the missions he had completed, among other details.
Wow, this was way too detailed.
“What are you looking at? Did you gain some new magical ability?” Sheng Zexi’s intuition was sharp, and he immediately noticed something different about her.
He could tell that she had been staring at him for an unusually long time.
And afterward, she seemed to be looking at the space above his head.
She was observing it so carefully, as if there was something floating there.
Gu Jianing looked at Sheng Zexi in surprise and silently gave him a thumbs-up. “Your intuition is seriously impressive. I did gain a special ability…”
Gu Jianing leaned in and whispered a few words into Sheng Zexi’s ear.
After listening, Sheng Zexi’s eyes showed a trace of astonishment.
But perhaps because he had already experienced Gu Jianing’s miracles before, he took it in stride now.
So, he took her hand, patted her head, and said, “Got it. Don’t tell anyone else about this.”
“I know.”
“And be careful when using it. There might be others as perceptive as me.”
Though such people were rare, it was still something to be cautious about.
“Mm, I understand.”
“By the way, you don’t need to come with me to Capital University. I’ll take Xingxing and Yueyue to see Third Brother.”
“Didn’t you make plans with Comrade Hua?”
“Then how about I drive you to the gate of Capital University?”
“Sure.”
That afternoon, Sheng Zexi drove Gu Jianing, Xingxing, and Yueyue to Capital University.
“Little sis.”
As soon as Gu Jianing got out of the car, she heard a familiar voice calling her.
Looking up, she saw her third brother, Gu Yunzhou, waiting at the university gate.
“Uncle!” Xingxing and Yueyue also spotted Gu Yunzhou and ran toward him as soon as they got out of the car.
Gu Yunzhou scooped his niece and nephew into his arms, lifting them up and giving them a little bounce.
“You’ve gotten heavier—and taller too.”
Then, he turned his gaze to Gu Jianing.
Seeing his younger sister’s rosy complexion, looking even more radiant than before, Gu Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed she was doing well.
Meanwhile, after greeting his brother-in-law, Sheng Zexi drove off.
“Come on, I’ll take you around Capital University.”
“By the way, little sis, you still need to go through the onboarding procedures, right? I’ll take you there later.”
“Sounds good.”
Gu Yunzhou sighed with emotion.
Time really flew.
In the blink of an eye, his little sister was now a mother of three.
Here he was, just a student at Capital University, while his sister was already a professor here.
Thankfully, she was in the medical school and not the computer science department like him.
Otherwise, as her older brother, he’d really have nothing to be proud of.
Gu Yunzhou first took Gu Jianing to the office of Capital University’s president.
The president had met Gu Jianing before, and now, seeing her again, he was all smiles.
He immediately processed her onboarding paperwork, as if afraid that any delay might give another university the chance to snatch her away.
“Dr. Gu—no, Professor Gu, welcome to Capital University!”
“Thank you, President.”
“Who would’ve thought that Gu Yunzhou here is actually your brother? What a coincidence.”
The president was familiar with Gu Yunzhou, after all, he had been the provincial top scorer when he entered Capital University and had consistently excelled since then.
Naturally, the president had taken notice of such an outstanding student.
He just hadn’t expected Gu Yunzhou to be Gu Jianing’s brother—what a small world.
With a close relative like Gu Yunzhou here, the president no longer had to worry about Gu Jianing being reluctant to stay and teach at Capital University.
After completing the onboarding procedures, the siblings took Xingxing and Yueyue for a stroll around the campus.
Gu Yunzhou pointed out various landmarks and buildings to Gu Jianing.
But as they walked, Gu Jianing suddenly felt as if someone’s gaze was fixed on her.
The sensation made her extremely uncomfortable.
Yet, every time she turned to look, she saw no one.
Gu Jianing frowned. What was going on?
Was she imagining things?
“Little sis, what’s wrong?” Noticing her unease, Gu Yunzhou asked.
“I feel like someone’s watching me, and it’s making me very uncomfortable,” Gu Jianing said.
Gu Yunzhou trusted his sister’s instincts and also glanced around.
But he didn’t spot anyone either.
“Don’t worry, I’m here,” Gu Yunzhou reassured her, though he couldn’t find the source.
“Mm, it seems to have stopped now.”
“Alright, shall we keep going? Let me take you to the cafeteria—the food here is great. You should try it.”
“Sure.”
Just as Gu Jianing, Gu Yunzhou, Xingxing, and Yueyue continued walking, putting some distance behind them…
A figure quietly emerged from behind a tree.
He stared straight in Gu Jianing’s direction, his eyes filled with malice.
At that very moment—
A frantic alarm blared in Gu Jianing’s mind.
[Alert, alert! Hostile intent toward the host, children, and family exceeds 100%. The individual harbors murderous intent toward the host and her children and family. Host is advised to exercise extreme caution.]
Gu Jianing, who had been walking forward, abruptly froze.
Then, she saw the Malice Detector tracker pinpointing the source.
On one side were her, Xingxing, Yueyue, and her brother. On the other side was…
Gu Jianing suddenly whipped her head around.
The person hiding behind the tree clearly hadn’t expected Gu Jianing, who had already walked far ahead, to suddenly turn back.
And so—their eyes met!
