Gu He took out two pieces of paper and said, "There are unclear points in the material analysis. Why not continue the investigation?"
The man chuckled and said, "Didn't the Gu family tell us to stop investigating?"
Gu He shook the paper: "Okay, then I'll take this fragment of the investigation back with me."
The commander had naturally given him instructions, so he quickly agreed.
As a bounty hunter, Gu He had many friends and connections. Gu Yunzhou remained silent for a moment before saying, "Thank you."
Gu He frowned and said, "I'm getting goosebumps. Don't thank me. I'm only doing this for the sake of the king."
He deliberately said, "After all, I'm like someone who watched helplessly as our city lord had to run around outside in the dead of winter."

Chapter 57
Therefore, everything Gu Yunzhou has is related to Ji Zhaoming.
After taking the paper, Gu He also copied the video of the car accident and took it with him.
Gu Yunzhou asked, "Who do you plan to give the video to?"
Gu He thought for a moment and said, "During my time as a bounty hunter, finding a trustworthy friend shouldn't be a problem, so don't worry."
Gu Yunzhou laughed and said, "No need, just find any bounty hunter who has a good relationship with the Gu family."
"Huh?" Gu He was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "Why?"
"Let's make a big scene. How can we scare the snake if we don't stir up the grass?" Gu Yunzhou pushed the door open for Ji Zhaoming before slowly saying, "Most importantly, we just finished a deal with Dixing, didn't we?"
The Gu family was unaware of the paper the commander had given them, so they assumed it was a deal in which the commander agreed to recognize the legal status of the garbage planet.
In this transaction, what's truly important is that piece of paper.
Gu Yunzhou and Gu He already had high reputations, especially after Gu He also awakened into an S-class aplha and topped the bounty hunter rankings, the garbage planet attracted many talented people.
Furthermore, Ji Zhaoming is the city lord of the garbage planet, currently the only omega in the interstellar space, and an S-class omega at that. Recognizing his legal status is merely icing on the cake, not a deal worth investigating.
At most, Gu Yunzhou was dissatisfied with the unclear circumstances surrounding his parents' deaths and asked the commander for some favors.
It would be strange for the Gu family if Gu Yunzhou didn't investigate anything.
Reminded, Gu He naturally thought of this as well, and suddenly realized, "Okay, then I'll just put these on the bounty hunter website. Anyway, the Gu family will definitely send someone after they see it. As for these materials—"
"Then I'll leave it to you," Gu Yunzhou said.
He took a few steps forward and saw the light from outside shining into the room, then added, "Thank you."
A simple thank you isn't enough.
For bounty hunters, the most valuable thing is human relationships; transactions that result in a direct exchange of money and goods are the least valuable.
Gu Yunzhou cut off Gu He's words before he could finish, "I know you're going to say it's for the master, but that doesn't stop me from thanking you."
His hostility towards Gu He stemmed from jealousy, but he was never stingy with his gratitude.
Ji Zhaoming stepped over the threshold, preparing to go back, when he suddenly looked up at the sky and said, "The weather is actually quite nice today?"
After a long period of snowfall, a sliver of sun finally peeked out.
Even if the weather around you is cold, the light that you can see with your own eyes can still give you a strange feeling of warmth.
—But all of these are fake.
The warmth is an illusion; winter is the real thing.
Suddenly, Ji Zhaoming sensed the calm before the storm, and he turned to look at Gu Yunzhou.
Gu Yunzhou took his hand and smiled, "Yes."
The warmth was clearly transmitted from Gu Yunzhou's hands to Ji Zhaoming's palms.
Ji Zhaoming clearly felt that this world was fake, but the most unbelievable thing was that the warmth in Gu Yunzhou's palm was real.
It seemed to be the only reality in a false world.

Gu Yunzhou inexplicably arrived on this road and found the person in charge of investigating the matter. With so many people around, the Gu family soon learned of the news.
When Gu Yunzhou was kicked out of the Gu family, he did nothing. He was truly alone, leaving with only a few belongings and necessities. The head of the Gu family found that the matter very strange. Later, he sent people to secretly follow Gu Yunzhou. After investigating for a long time, they found that Gu Yunzhou was really in a daze, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
So when he learned that Gu Yunzhou had found someone he liked and returned to the Imperial Star, he was already prepared for Gu Yunzhou to bring up old grievances.
But...
The head of the Gu family looked at the recruitment information on the bounty hunter's official website and sneered, "Still young."
The subordinates laughed along: "After all, no matter how talented Gu Yunzhou is, he only had the support of the Gu family to have a smooth life back then. Now that the Gu family is gone, aren't all his shortcomings exposed?"
The head of the Gu family nodded, then suddenly asked, "By the way, where is Gu Yunyang? Has he returned?"
The subordinate's face turned grim: "The commander still won't release them."
The Gu family patriarch frowned: "This commander is arrogant. Does he think he can do whatever he wants just because he's tied to Ji Zhaoming? Let's not even talk about how this garbage planet hasn't even developed yet—"
He got up from his seat, went to the window, looked up at the sky high above, and shook his head with a light laugh.
Even if it really develops, how can it compare to the Gu family back then?
Instead of supporting new elites, it would be better to revitalize the Gu family. After all, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse, and the Gu family's glory days are far from over.
The head of the Gu family sighed and said, "Forget it, once the riot suppression drug is developed, he won't have a choice. The commander at that time will probably have to be replaced."
The Gu family realized early on that the number of omegas was rapidly decreasing. The Gu family chose marriages based on merit, so most of their members were aplha and a minority were beta. When more and more members of the clan rioted, the head of the Gu family at the time immediately realized that the aplha riot problem needed to be solved as soon as possible.
The head of the clan immediately sent people to secretly study the matter, but unfortunately he died before the study was completed. The matter was handed over to the next head of the clan, but the next head of the clan had different ideas from the previous generation, so the research institute was not well funded.
After omega completely disappeared from this world, the newly appointed head of the family picked up this research again, and it has been going on for over a hundred years, both on and off.
However, due to the lack of an omega, progress was extremely slow until he took office, at which point the light finally appeared.
The head of the Gu family looked at his hands, the lines on his palms winding and twisting. He suddenly clenched his fist and laughed.
He has always been very lucky.
In the future, the imperial star will also belong to him.
The subordinate spoke up to remind them, "But... the experimental samples are almost used up, and the garbage planet has now been registered as an official planet, so it seems a bit difficult to abduct it."
“It doesn’t matter,” said the Gu family head. “There are many other desolate planets besides the Garbage Planet. If they don’t want to, we can give them money or residency status on an imperial planet. If that doesn’t work, we can just leave it as it is.”
Yi Ran
If the parents are gone, even if the child disappears without a trace that day, no one will care.
On the other hand, would anyone really give up such a large sum of money?
Human nature is inherently greedy.
The head of the Gu family said, "Send a spy to apply for Gu He's job. Remember, don't let anyone find out."
"yes."

After returning home, Ji Zhaoming and his group were fretting over the bounty hunter's reply post.
Because there are so many replies, it's quite difficult to find the Gu family like a needle in a haystack.
In particular, Gu He was used to doing missions alone, so anyone who could get his contact information was unreliable, making it impossible for the Gu family to get close to him; they could only reply to Gu He's posts.
Gu He is the No. 0001 bounty hunter, and he has just been recognized as a master. He is currently enjoying great popularity. With the addition of Ji Zhaoming's buff, the number of replies to the post has skyrocketed. Even though the bounty hunter system has already filtered out a batch of unqualified candidates, the number of people who are still selected is still so large that it makes one's scalp tingle.
Gu He pushed the personal terminal in front of Gu Yunzhou and said, "You made the request, so you come and find the person."
Gu Yunzhou rubbed his temples, took the personal terminal, and said, "If the Gu family sends someone, it will definitely be someone who has absolutely no connection with the Gu family. The Gu family members are widely distributed, so we can do another screening. Also—"
His gaze fell on a particular private message.
That was a message from Ji Zhaoming confessing his feelings.
Because Ji Zhaoming's contact information is classified as Level 1 confidential, it is kept very secret except for the garbage star and a few other people. In addition, Ji Zhaoming has not opened his own StarNet blog, so these people have nowhere else to curry favor and get close to him, so they simply take advantage of this situation to fish in troubled waters.
After all, everyone guessed that Gu Hefa's actions were for Gu Yunzhou's sake, and Ji Zhaoming might even help.
Gu Yunzhou swiped his finger across the personal terminal, quickly blocking these people, and said, "And these people are still confessing their feelings? Don't bounty hunters need to be assessed?"
Otherwise, why would such explicit words be spoken?
Gu He leaned closer to the side, looked at the replies, and instead of mocking Gu Yunzhou, he angrily retorted, "It's time to introduce the Green River blocking system. Sending out these random words, won't it teach people something?"
He should have kept quiet, because his words only piqued Ji Zhaoming's curiosity even more. Ji Zhaoming leaned closer and asked, "What exactly did you say?"
My eyes were covered.
Gu Yunzhou said softly, "You can't look."
Ji Zhaoming always felt that Gu Yunzhou's personality was becoming more and more... um, interesting?
It wasn't that he preferred one personality type more, but he felt that the current state was much better than the lifeless state he had when they first met, so he couldn't help but want to tease him on purpose.
Ji Zhaoming smiled and asked, "Why?"
Gu Yunzhou: "Because I'll get angry."
He covered Ji Zhaoming's ear with his hand, shifting it away from Gu He's position, and deliberately left a small gap so that his voice could pass through the gap when he looked down, allowing Ji Zhaoming to hear it clearly.
"The thought of someone speaking to my master like that makes me furious."
"If my master still wants to see, I'm afraid I might not be able to resist doing something."
"So please don't look, okay?"
When she got to the last sentence, her voice deliberately carried a hint of pleading and coquetry.
Gu Yunzhou touched the back of Ji Zhaoming's neck and asked, "Is it alright?"
Ji Zhaoming didn't even know how he made the sound; he only heard himself give a low "hmm."
Gu Yunzhou then released his hand and deleted the indecent messages with a single click.
Gu He said, "Alright, I had a friend make a filter, and the rest of the list is yours—I have to say, the Gu family is really well-distributed."
After this screening process, only a few hundred candidates remained.
