69 -67: Profile

Jiang Wan opened her eyes.

She felt as if she had lost all consciousness in an instant, and upon waking up, a sense of relaxation she had never felt before emerged…as if it coursed through her body with her blood, as if she had been reborn.

She was stunned for several minutes before memories from before gradually began to resurface in her mind, seeming as if from another lifetime.

Suffering from insomnia for too long, she had come here clutching her last hope.

And then… she had fallen asleep, just as she had wished.

“Tss…”

She subconsciously rubbed her temples, sat up, but didn’t feel the expected sourness, her whole body felt warm, and all the fatigue and weariness had been swept away.

Jiang Wan muttered in disbelief, “How long have I…slept?”

“One hour,” a gentle, young voice responded, “Here, water.”

Gu Shen smiled, “Your insomnia has been cured.

I hope you have sweet dreams every day from now on.”

Jiang Wan, with a grateful look, took the water.

Due to sleeplessness, she had been tormented for days and was very tired.

Although her spirit was now better, her physical condition was still a bit poor, with dry lips and a pallid face.

But these were minor issues; a few days of recuperation would suffice.

“Dr.

Xiao Gu…you really are…incredible.”

Initially, seeing such a young assistant doctor, she had been somewhat worried; after all, she had previously been to several experts across half of Da Du without finding a solution…

Now, her look at Gu Shen was completely different, not just one of gratitude but also of admiration!

So young, yet so skilled.

“Oh… I still haven’t paid…”

Jiang Wan rummaged through her bag, she took out a business card, and a small stack of money, a bit embarrassed, “Dr.

Xiao Gu, I don’t know how much you charge here… Because I haven’t rested well for so long, I wasn’t well-prepared.

I only have about three to four thousand cash on me, if that’s not enough, can I transfer the rest to you online?”

True to being a wealthy woman, she indeed spent generously…

Gu Shen silently remarked in his mind, the economic ability of the people in Dadu District was really good.

As far as he knew, Sister Xiao Xin’s pricing in the clinic was about eight hundred an hour, which he already found expensive.

It wouldn’t be such good business in Qing River.

“That’s more than enough… this will do,” he said.

Gu Shen smiled and took only half of the stack of cash.

Now a genuine Transcendent, this intervention had not only completed hypnosis but also incidentally cleared the remnant spiritual poison from the seal…

so he might as well just symbolically charge a fee.

In fact, since becoming a Transcendent, Gu Shen’s desire for money had diminished significantly.

The dearest to him, his grandmother, along with the orphanage, had been secured by both Cui Zhongcheng and Zhao Group.

What Gu Shen now valued more…was the truth behind this case of insomnia.

He looked at the business card.

“…Jiang Wan.”

Gu Shen noted this name in his mind, then suddenly said, “Miss Jiang, may I ask where you live?”

“I live in the southern part, in South Bay.” Jiang Wan paused, then said, “Is there a problem?”

South Bay was a well-known affluent area in Da Du, also housing villas, but it was remote with few residents and relatively quiet.

Lipu, on the other hand, lied in the belly of Da Du, closer to the bustling area.

“Just asking,” he said.

Gu Shen smiled.

He asked this question…actually to pinpoint the source of this Transcendent event.

He remembered the words of Mr.

Xiao Cui on the plane.

If nothing unexpected, every action of his in the dreamscape was under the surveillance of Mr.

Xiao Cui.

If this Transcendent event’s source was nearby Lipu Street, then he had to be extremely careful and treat it seriously.

Gu Shen asked again, “Do you remember where you went on the first day of your insomnia?”

“Somewhat…

I can’t recall clearly.”

“My daily life is quite irregular, and the symptoms of insomnia have occurred before, but they have never been this severe.”

Jiang Wan, holding her forehead, thought for a long time, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “However, the day before yesterday, I seem to have attended a close friend’s party…”

At this, her cheeks turned slightly red, “It’s quite a coincidence, actually; afterwards, we went to Qingtao Bar near the river bank, not far from Lipu Street.

I drank quite a bit, hoping to sleep well with the help of alcohol…

but after the party ended…

I just couldn’t fall asleep…”

Qingtao Bar…

Gu Shen silently took note.

“Maybe it’s just because you’ve been under a lot of stress lately.” He smiled with ease, “Staying up often isn’t good for your health; it’s getting late, Miss Jiang, you should go back and rest.”

“I’ve been…

under too much stress lately?” Jiang Wan’s face flushed red, and she hurriedly grabbed her bag and stood up, saying, “I won’t disturb you any longer…

Thank you, Dr.

Xiao Gu!”

…

…

Upon returning home, she fed the cat, and it was around eleven or twelve at night.

After briefly organizing his thoughts, Gu Shen decided to head for Qingtao Bar.

Da Du, entirely different from Qing River, is the most bustling city in East State Jiangnan.

Throw a dart at a map of Da Du, and wherever it lands, the land is worth a fortune, except for the suburbs.

Any chosen spot is busier than the core area of Qing River.

As night falls, countless bars along the river bank open their doors, with neon flashing and lights dazzling.

The fluctuating tides reflect the illusionary flickers of the sleepless city above and below.

“Handsome guy, come and play~”

“Wanna follow each other?”

Gu Shen’s features are clear and youthful yet not delicate; this kind of appearance is easily likable.

Coupled with his clean youthful aura, no manner of dressing can make him disliked.

Sticking to the principle of keeping a low profile, he wore a cap and dressed in black work clothes, keeping his head down as he walked, but still, several svelte long-legged girls approached him along the way.

He rejected them neatly.

Setting aside Chu Ling for a moment…

Now Gu Shen’s mind was entirely focused on the investigation.

The only clue was at Qingtao Bar.

Three days had already passed since the incident, and finding the source was not going to be easy.

“We’ve arrived.”

Gu Shen looked up at the neon sign of Qingtao Bar.

He had chosen to go out at this time fearing that arriving too early would make him very conspicuous when the bar wasn’t busy…

Gu Shen silently lowered his cap, watching the crowded dance floor of the bar, thinking he was still too young for this.

With so many people, he needed to find the clue.

There was a method that might work, but his current spiritual power might not be sufficient.

He could only…

give it a try.

He let out a long breath, closed his eyes, and a faint Chi Huo emerged at the center of his forehead.

In a crowded corner,

a very soft whisper burst through the noise.

“…Profile!”

As he cried out, the strand of Chi Huo suddenly surged, moving towards the forehead as if to merge into his skin and become an erect pupil.

All the noise by Gu Shen’s ears disappeared; the entire bar went silent.

At this moment, his spiritual power began to deplete rapidly, probably tens of times more than what was needed to hypnotize Jiang Wan.

He raised his head, and the swaying men and women tangled carelessly in the dance floor, resembling a wild dance of demons.

The dazzling atmosphere lights rendered everything around into a vision of Hell…

yet it was eerily silent.

Once the profiling ability was activated, the whole world turned into a depopulated zone deep beneath the sea.

Gu Shen forcefully traced back the faint spiritual mark from three days ago.

Through the gaze adorned with Chi Huo, he saw a faint shadow, like a beast scenting blood…

The shadow, elusive yet discernible, pointed towards the position of the bar.ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
