Starting with a Breakup: Why Is the True Heiress My Possessive Ex? - Chapter 32

“Fuck off!”

Just as Xu Nian and Su Qingya’s minds were beginning to blur, a furious roar exploded nearby.

A massive fist smashed into the black-uniformed employee.

With a single punch, her entire body shattered.

The moment she died, the strange force binding Xu Nian and Su Qingya vanished.

The two girls instantly broke free from that bizarre state.

The overwhelming visual impact left them both stunned.

Their stomachs churned.

They nearly threw up on the spot.

“Heh.”

“They really are just two little girls who accidentally became Emotiopaths.”

“Their control over their powers is a complete disaster.”

A teasing male voice sounded from nearby.

Before the man could continue, another voice interrupted him.

A calm, mature woman spoke coldly,

“That’s enough.”

“Stop wasting time.”

“The haunted house has finally manifested.”

“We need to eliminate the Fear Fluxbeast as quickly as possible.”

“Damn these Fluxbeasts.”

“Can’t even enjoy a peaceful weekend.”

Still supporting each other, Xu Nian and Su Qingya looked toward the two newcomers.

“…Who are you?”

“As you can see.”

The woman glanced at the corpse on the ground.

“That thing was a Fear Fluxbeast familiar.”

“They’re common disposable units.”

“After receiving a blessing from a Fear Fluxbeast, they inherit part of its abilities.”

“In reality…”

“They’re already dead.”

“They possess almost no combat capability.”

“However…”

“One-star Emotiopaths on the same pathway generally can’t deal with them.”

Xu Nian shook her head.

“That’s not what I meant.”

“I’m asking who you are.”

The woman calmly produced an identification card.

“City Security Department.”

“Fluxbeast Special Response Team.”

“My codename is Leng Xiao.”

“Leng Xiao is only a codename.”

The moment those words fell, relief washed across both girls’ faces.

“So you’ve finally arrived…”

Leng Xiao remained expressionless.

“Don’t expect too much from us.”

“Our mission is to eliminate Fluxbeasts.”

“Protecting civilians is not our direct responsibility.”

“Whatever dangers you encounter inside a disaster zone have nothing to do with us.”

The middle-aged man beside her immediately burst into laughter.

“Come on.”

“Don’t sound so cold.”

“She’s actually soft-hearted.”

“What she means is that the faster we eliminate the Fluxbeasts, the more civilians we can save.”

Then his eyes landed on Xu Nian and Su Qingya.

“So…”

“Interested in joining the Security Department?”

“Our benefits are excellent.”

“Seven insurances.”

“Three housing funds.”

“Twenty thousand a month.”

“Performance bonuses at the end of the year.”

“And best of all…”

“It’s a government job.”

“You won’t find better anywhere.”

The moment they met, he had already begun recruiting.

Su Qingya cautiously asked,

“What if…”

“We refuse?”

“Then we’ll invite you to enjoy our fists.”

The man laughed loudly.

Leng Xiao shot him a cold glare.

“Stop joking.”

Turning back toward the girls, she continued,

“Nothing will happen if you refuse.”

“You’ll simply need to register your information.”

“You must agree not to advance recklessly.”

“And not to abuse your powers to commit crimes.”

“There will also be annual reviews.”

“If you knowingly break the law…”

“Your punishment will naturally be more severe.”

“We’re willing to join.”

Before Su Qingya could answer, Xu Nian spoke immediately.

Leng Xiao nodded.

“That would be for the best.”

“But…”

“We’re still in high school.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“I’ll register both of you.”

“You won’t need to worry about the college entrance examination.”

“After graduation, simply enroll at the affiliated academy of A University.”

“Your admission letter will be mailed directly.”

“Employment will also be arranged after graduation.”

“With good performance…”

“You’ll most likely remain in this city.”

Rather than handing over forms, Leng Xiao simply passed Xu Nian a business card.

“When the time comes…”

“Call me.”

“Okay.”

After the brief conversation, the two officers each picked up a peculiar metal case.

Without another word, they headed toward the haunted house.

“Nian Nian…”

“Why did you agree so quickly?”

Su Qingya asked after they left.

Xu Nian answered matter-of-factly.

“The first rule when encountering the supernatural…”

“Is to find an organization.”

“Huh?”

Su Qingya blinked.

“You don’t understand?”

Xu Nian smiled.

“How are rogue cultivators supposed to grow without support?”

“…Is that really how it works?”

“Aren’t the protagonists in novels usually lone wolves?”

Xu Nian looked at her.

“Are you the protagonist?”

Su Qingya shook her head.

In truth…

She actually was.

But Xu Nian obviously didn’t know that.

“Well, neither am I.”

“So naturally we should stick with the crowd.”

Her reasoning sounded surprisingly convincing.

“Think about it.”

“We barely understand anything.”

“Our knowledge about Fluxbeasts comes mostly from guesswork.”

“Neither of us even knows how to properly use our abilities.”

“If we don’t join an organization…”

“What are we supposed to do?”

“Go ask Lin Zhihao?”

The mere mention of that name made Su Qingya shiver.

“No.”

“Definitely not him.”

“You’re right.”

“Actually…”

“Even if we hadn’t met them today, I was already planning to contact the Security Department.”

“…Then I’ll follow your lead.”

Xu Nian suddenly smiled mysteriously.

“Besides…”

“Doesn’t this solve the problem of filling out college applications?”

Su Qingya paused.

That actually made sense.

The difference between their academic results was considerable.

There was no guarantee they could attend the same university.

Although Xu Nian’s family had already arranged for her to enter A University’s Business School…

Su Qingya could only rely on her own application.

No one could promise things would go smoothly.

That uncertainty had always worried her.

Of course…

That was only Su Qingya’s perspective.

Xu Nian understood the truth perfectly well.

The Xu family didn’t possess unlimited influence.

They only had a single recommendation slot.

Once Su Qingya’s true identity as the biological daughter became known…

That place would almost certainly be reserved for her.

She would become the family’s future.

Meanwhile…

Xu Nian’s own grades weren’t nearly enough to enter A University on merit.

Without value…

She doubted the family would continue caring about her.

Even if Su Qingya earned admission independently…

The Xu family would simply save the cost of using their connections.

In that scenario…

The two of them would be separated for four years.

Xu Nian refused to accept that.

Now that she already knew Su Qingya was the true heiress…

And knew there was no unavoidable plot forcing them apart…

She had no intention of letting go.

Su Qingya belonged beside her.

Nowhere else.

Besides…

This world contained supernatural mysteries.

Between an ordinary university…

And one dedicated to studying those mysteries…

The choice was obvious.

“So…”

“What should we do now?”

“Go to the Ferris wheel.”

The Security Department was still just the Security Department.

Who knew whether they might fail?

Only after completing a simulation would Xu Nian truly feel at ease.

That was her real insurance.

Even if the officers successfully eliminated every Fluxbeast…

She still wanted confirmation that everything was genuinely safe.

Su Qingya didn’t object.

Although she couldn’t understand Xu Nian’s obsession with the Ferris wheel…

She trusted her completely.

With no further obstacles in their way, the two girls quickly reached their destination.

Every road inside the amusement park eventually converged here.

Naturally…

The crowd was enormous.

A long queue stretched into the distance.

Even so, only a single attendant managed the attraction.

She wore a pink uniform.

A bright smile never left her face.

Constantly waving her arms, she directed visitors into cabin after cabin.

She seemed to genuinely enjoy the work.

“Please don’t push.”

“Everyone line up in order.”

“Our Ferris wheel is one of the city’s most famous attractions.”

“At the very top…”

“You can overlook the entire amusement park.”

“It’s also the city’s most romantic destination.”

“As long as you confess your feelings at the highest point…”

“You’ll surely become a couple.”

Her enthusiastic promotion immediately drew cheers from the waiting crowd.
