The curly-haired youth fell into deep thought, then leaned forward, brushing aside the bangs covering his forehead with his left hand to reveal a scar. This scar, placed against his originally handsome face, made him look utterly disgusting and ugly. He said hatefully, "This is your handiwork! Don't you really remember?"
A pained expression appeared on Gu Ziyun's face, as if she had remembered something. She shook her head painfully, but still said, "I don't know, I really don't know."
“Alright.” The curly-haired youth sighed, stood up from the sofa, and said, “Then let’s pretend you don’t know. However, you’ll have to come with us. It will make you remember everything.”
Seeing that Gu Ziyun was standing still, the curly-haired youth couldn't help but threaten and urge, "Come on, what? Don't you want to know? Come with us, or we'll kill the two elders, that girl, and everyone around here, and then we'll take you away."
At this point, the curly-haired youth shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It's all fine, don't worry, do as you please."
Then he smiled and pointed to himself and the long-haired woman, saying, "We're experts in this area."
They were trained by the organization to frequently carry out assassinations.
After finishing his sentence, the curly-haired youth stopped talking and walked straight out of the house. The long-haired woman also stood up, gave Gu Ziyun a cold look, and walked out as well.
After they all left, Li Ling emerged from the shadows.
"Brother Li Ling!"
Du Mingji was surprised to see Li Ling there and couldn't help but exclaim, but she immediately realized that she couldn't shout loudly, so she quickly covered her mouth.
Li Ling nodded to her, then looked at Gu Ziyun and nodded as well.
Gu Ziyun nodded in response, then turned to go down the stairs to catch up with the curly-haired youth.
"Ziyun." Do Myung-hee saw that Gu Ziyun was about to leave and couldn't help but try to stop him.
Gu Ziyun turned back to her with a smile and comforted her, "I'll be right back. I'm entrusting my parents to you." With that, she walked down the stairs and prepared to leave.
Li Ling walked over to Gu Ziyun, patted her head, and said affectionately, "Look at you, your face is covered in blood, you don't look good."
Gu Ziyun smiled at Li Ling. She didn't need to pretend in front of Li Ling and pouted, saying, "You won't dislike me, will you?"
Li Ling pinched her nose and said, "How could that be? It's just that it's really not good to make it all dirty. From now on, I'll take care of all the mess."
Gu Ziyun breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Then you'll have to protect me from now on."
Li Ling smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, you go first, I'll follow later." As she spoke, she picked up her coat from the sofa and draped it over her shoulders, then ruffled her hair.
Gu Ziyun said no more, glanced at her adoptive parents' room, walked to the door, put on her shoes, and went out.
Before long, Gu Ziyun got into the car with the curly-haired youth, and the car started and drove away from the cattle farm.
Li Ling didn't delay any longer and instructed Du Mingji, "Mingji, after I leave, call your father, Officer Du, and ask him to come and handle things here. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to Ziyun."
After saying that, Li Ling stopped talking and turned to walk towards the door.
"Brother Li Ling, you... be careful."
Du Mingji's voice came from behind. Li Ling turned around and smiled slightly at her before leaving, getting out of the car and following the curly-haired youth and his companion. (The remaining text appears to be unrelated and likely refers to a separate entity or group.)

Chapter 135 How is my little fairy's acting?
Li Ling followed the curly-haired youth's car without its lights on, so only a white shadow could be seen trailing far behind their car, making it difficult to spot.
After driving for nearly an hour, almost to the suburbs, the car of the curly-haired youth drove into a building. Li Ling knew that they had finally arrived at the organization's stronghold.
Li Ling parked the car in a secluded corner two kilometers away, turned off the engine, and walked towards the building.
As Li Ling approached the building, he saw several men in black patrolling back and forth, with guards standing watch at several posts. He quickly crept over, found a corner, looked around, flipped his hand to reveal a coin, and flicked it against the wall four or five meters away.
With a "ding," the coin struck the wall, making a crisp sound, but it bounced far away and disappeared into the sewer next to it.
"Who?" The men in black pulled out their pistols, and the leader said to the two men, "You two, go and check it out."
The two nodded, took their pistols, and carefully walked towards the direction where Li Ling had fired the coin.
Taking advantage of the fact that the men in black were focused on the sound of the coin ringing, Li Ling leaped and flipped several times, thus evading their guard, and then entered the building.
Upon entering the building, the first thing you see is a house. Two men in black, each carrying a machine gun, stand guard in front of it. Li Ling turns the corner and appears before them.
Li Ling's appearance caused the two men in black to shout and point their guns at him. Li Ling moved like a cheetah, leaving a blur in the air. Before the two men could speak, he was in front of them in an instant. He reached out with both hands and grabbed their necks. With two snapping sounds, Li Ling broke their necks, and the two men died silently.
Li Ling held the two bodies steady so they wouldn't fall and make a sound. Then he carefully opened the door to the room and looked around. The room was empty except for a few tables, chairs and cabinets that had been idle for a long time. There was also a layer of dried bloodstains on the floor that couldn't be washed off.
Li Ling looked around the room. This must be where the organization killed those level-one ability users. Zi Yun must have escaped from here.
Li Ling dragged the two men in black into the room, took off the clothes from one of them, and put him in the black suit. He then placed the two bodies in cabinets and casually walked through the room into the building behind.
After passing through a long corridor, an elevator appeared at the end. Li Ling opened the elevator and looked around. There were only buttons for the bottom floor. The fact that the organization's experiments were underground was not unexpected for Li Ling.
These people conduct genetic experiments, which are inherently clandestine. Setting up their base underground would make it much more discreet.
The elevator descended for more than ten seconds before stopping. Li Ling estimated that it had reached a depth of more than ten meters underground. After exiting the elevator, there was a long tunnel in front of him.
There was no one patrolling the passageway. Li Ling looked at the corner of the wall above his head. There was a camera installed every short distance. Li Ling wasn't afraid of being recognized because he was wearing a black suit. Even if he was recognized, he had nothing to worry about with his skills.
Keep walking forward, and after turning a corner, Li Ling's keen hearing picked up a woman's voice coming from a room. The voice was coming from a stereo and was quite loud. Li Ling pressed his ear to the room and heard Gu Ziyun's pained voice.
Without wasting any time, Li Ling stepped back and then slammed forward. With a loud "boom," the entire iron gate and wall were smashed open by Li Ling, creating a hole.
Li Ling rushed in, next to a man in black holding a pistol. The man was looking at Li Ling with a blank expression, his face full of disbelief. He never expected that someone would break in in this way.
After entering, Li Ling casually delivered a chop to the black-clad man's Adam's apple. The man clutched his throat and fell backward, suffocating to death shortly after landing on the ground.
