Tu Feibai felt irritated; was she jealous at a time like this? He darkened his face, roughly and briefly commanding: “Speak!”

Yu Yi eventually returned, unable to enter Tu Feibai’s home, but Gong Shi’s residence had been thoroughly searched, now empty and unoccupied. Yu Yi decided to stay there, waiting for an opportunity.
Searching the client with “see through walls”, Yu Yi found infrared glasses that looked like spectacles of that period. Wearing them allowed her to see through walls, observing people’s movements, as well as fire, light bulbs, and all heat-generating objects. Through these glasses, cold objects appeared black or blue, while hotter objects became increasingly red, though hot fires were white.
This was also due to her familiarity with the house’s structure.
These days, Tu Feibai rarely returned home; Yu Taoer went out daily, and Ding Jingman mostly stayed home, occasionally going out to play cards in the afternoon.
Yu Yi would download and browse some free materials during her idle time. She originally thought she would need to spend her own points on mission items and skills, but after asking Tianshen, she learned that necessary skills or items for completing the mission could be “reimbursed” within certain limits, without her bearing the cost.
That afternoon, Ding Jingman was napping, and Yu Yi felt somewhat tired. She removed her glasses, leaned against the wall by the windowsill, and closed her eyes to rest.
A car sound came from the opposite courtyard, and Yu Yi suddenly opened her eyes. Tu Feibai had returned. She put on her glasses, watching Tu Feibai stride into the house, kick open the door, and burst into Ding Jingman’s room, dragging the sleeping Ding Jingman up. They seemed to be talking, and after a while, Tu Feibai pulled something from his waist and pointed it at Ding Jingman.
Yu Yi’s heart sank; his posture suggested he was drawing a gun. Then she saw him fire.
A white thin line suddenly appeared from Tu Feibai’s hand, piercing through Ding Jingman’s body. She seemed to be struck and fell backward. The line thickened and turned red, dispersing in the air, and Ding Jingman collapsed to the ground.
Only then did she hear the not-so-obvious gunshot.
Yu Yi gritted her teeth. Why would Tu Feibai kill Ding Jingman?!
