Sleep!
1027: Chapter 991: Pests!
Sleep!
The room was pitch dark.
Chu Yunxuan frowned slightly.
“Why is it so quiet?
Could it be that he hasn’t fallen asleep yet?”
Already on edge, Chu Yunxuan felt even more nervous at the thought.
To verify her guess,
Chu Yunxuan held her breath and listened intently for a while.
Then…
“Cough, cough~ cough, cough~”
She coughed a few tis in succession.
Yet, that failed to wake Wu Jie.
Chu Yunxuan’s anxious heart gradually relaxed a bit.
This rest area was equipped with an extrely advanced environntal control system, maintaining spring-like conditions and fresh air all year round.
But Chu Yunxuan still felt a bit cold, subconsciously wrapping her arms around herself, as if evil eyes were staring at her from the darkness.
But in fact…
there was nothing!
Chu Yunxuan forced herself to calm down.
She crept about, like a thief on their first heist, too tense and inexperienced.
After all, a guilty conscience was at play!
She listened with bated breath for a good while and relied on her mory of decorating the bedroom to pay attention to any sounds.
Finally!
Chu Yunxuan heard Wu Jie’s even breathing.
“So Jie has already fallen asleep!
You scared to death!”
“Jie had been up for two straight nights, focusing intently on the investigation of the Lin Yuan disappearance case.
Who wouldn’t be exhausted?
A hot shower, and anyone would fall into a deep sleep quickly!”
After muttering to herself, Chu Yunxuan finally stopped hunching and creeping, like a little female thief with neither experience nor guts.
A soft click.
She quietly locked the room door and bit her red lip hard with her teeth.
The entire rest area was decorated and furnished by her, carefully selecting materials for Wu Jie.
And it was precisely because of her familiarity,
That Chu Yunxuan knew exactly where to go without having to turn on the lights.
Her restless heart gradually cald down without her noticing.
She felt a sudden sweetness in her heart, as if she had eaten cotton candy.
Silence!
Joy!
Chu Yunxuan felt that she had made the bravest decision tonight.
If she had left earlier, she would have regretted it for the rest of her life, unable to feel as blissful as she did now, although she had done nothing.
How Chu Yunxuan wished this mont could last forever.
Just sleep peacefully like this, undisturbed by anyone.
Unfortunately…
It was destined to be wishful thinking.
The day was bound to dawn, and Wu Jie would surely wake up.
Before she knew it, drowsiness overca her.
Chu Yunxuan sweetly fell asleep…
…
The night was deep.
A faint fragrance lingered.
Wu Jie, who was sleeping soundly, noticed nothing out of the ordinary.
He had been excessively fatigued in the past few days.
Visiting Liuli City, he first dealt with Xu Kuishan and his son exchanging intelligence and involved in international case investigations.
Then he engaged in academic exchanges and research cooperation discussions with the academy, developing the Intelligence Analysis System for Du.
Last, he punished those big shots and did everything in his power to find the missing Lin Yuan…
Human ntal and physical energy is limited.
Focusing on a task for two or three hours could leave anyone dizzy and worn out.
And the tasks Wu Jie had undertaken these past few days were no small feat, requiring extra ntal effort.
Ordinary people would be exhausted by staying awake all night playing cards or video gas, and would fall into a deep sleep as soon as they hit the pillow.
If Wu Jie’s body hadn’t been awakened by the system and strengthened beyond ordinary people, how could he have lasted until now?
Even so, his thought process and logic were sowhat deteriorated before sleep.
The most obvious sign was that convicting Su Leige required solid evidence.
If his thinking was sharp and his ntal state good, how could he so easily wander into a trap and get stuck?
After a full al and a hot bath, naturally, he was ready for a good night’s sleep.
Whenever he was overly fatigued, to quickly recover physically and ntally, Wu Jie would allow the system to help him enter deep sleep.
It was the kind of high-quality sleep where he would fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes, awake at the slightest opening, dreamless, and lasting until dawn.
This ti was no exception.
After all, this intelligent center was designed and built to Wu Jie’s high standards.
Without his permission, no one could break in.
A forced entry would require drilling, cutting, blasting, and other brutish thods, which would have triggered both the security system and alerted the entirety of Technology City.
So, he slept soundly without worry.
Chu Yunxuan’s earlier caution was entirely unnecessary.
With the system’s help, Wu Jie, deep in sleep, wouldn’t wake up for anything—not even if soone suddenly entered the room, not even for a thunderous explosion.
Of course, if soone approached with malicious intent, the system would naturally warn and wake Wu Jie.
But where did Chu Yunxuan count as a bad person?
So, the system didn’t wake Wu Jie, not until daylight…
