On the way to Singapore, Tang Shishi mentioned that the person who performed the surgery on her mother was also a member of the Zhang family.
Therefore, after arriving at the door today, he glanced at the device and, sure enough, found the listening device inside the body, located in the lower back ribs.
So they immediately performed surgery to remove it.
Gu Ran took out a soundproofing foam and wrapped it around the listening device, so he could speak freely.
Then he used his palm magic to heal Zhang Jiayi's wounds.
Tang Shishi witnessed another amazing scene: Zhang Jiayi's lower back wound was healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the end, not even a scar was left on her skin.
"Awake!"
Gu Ran released Zhang Jiayi from the hypnosis.
At the same time, he and Tang Shishi both heard a very loud, screeching sound of tires screeching on the ground coming from downstairs in their apartment building.
They are chasing us.
"Grab your things, quick." Gu Ran urged, and Tang Shishi immediately pulled the still somewhat bewildered and confused Zhang Jiayi to the living room and picked up the two large suitcases.
The footsteps outside grew louder and louder, and soon a loud banging came from the security door.
"Tang Shishi, I know you're inside. We've surrounded this place. You and your mother can't escape." Someone shouted from outside the door.
In the living room, Zhang Jiayi's heart skipped a beat. She was a little flustered. She was blocked at the door and couldn't get out. What should she do?
Gu Ran lowered his voice and commanded, "Close your eyes."
Tang Shishi and Zhang Jiayi obediently did as instructed.
The next second, the mother and daughter felt their bodies sway slightly, and then they heard the knocking on the door stop, followed by silence.
Gu Ran said, "You can open your eyes now."
Zhang Jiayi opened her eyes and suddenly found that the scene around her had changed. It was no longer their home, but a well-decorated living room.
In the living room, besides Gu Ran and Tang Shishi, there was a woman in a black dress waiting.
This incredible scene shocked Zhang Jiayi even more than Ning Caichen's accidental visit to Lanruo Temple and encounter with a female ghost!
“You are…” She was so surprised that she couldn’t speak, not knowing how to describe the people in front of her.
"Mom, this is the airport's VIP lounge," Tang Shishi said, putting her arm around her mother's shoulder. "You can wait here for your flight. We'll fly to Shanghai together in an hour. I'll tell you everything when I get back."
After saying this, she took Gu Ran's hand and said, "Let's go."
“I can go back by myself, you don’t need to come with me,” Gu Ran said.
“With me here, your plan will be easier to implement. I’ve already made up my mind. Hurry up, or they’ll come in,” Tang Shishi said.
Gu Ran nodded and once again used the Flying Thunder God Technique to disappear from the airport VIP waiting room.
Zhang Jiayi stared at her disappearing daughter and Gu Ran, her mouth agape, unsure of what expression to make.
She asked blankly, "Are you gods or monsters?"
A woman in a black gothic dress walked up to Zhang Jiayi, interrupting her thoughts, and said, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Zhang Wanjun."
Zhang Jiayi was stunned for a moment, then immediately came to her senses: "You... are from the Zhang family?"
“It’s the Zhang family, but the Zhang family of China,” Zhang Wanjun said calmly. “Speaking of which, we are sisters in the same clan, so there’s no need to be so polite.”
"The Zhang family of Huaxia... In other words, you are a member of the main family?" Zhang Jiayi asked.
Zhang Wanjun nodded slightly.
Zhang Jiayi's mind was in a mess, but she had roughly figured it out: her daughter had probably found the Zong family to help her, and then they were going to take her to settle down in China.
"So... are you people with special abilities?" Zhang Jiayi asked.
"Didn't your father tell you about mixed races?"
"A hybrid? I've never heard of that."
"Then let me tell you the story in detail while we have time," Zhang Wanjun said, pouring Zhang Jiayi a cup of coffee before beginning her tale.

Some random thoughts:
The section on islands and this part is disjointed and drags on because I revised the outline at the last minute.
This is the first satisfying moment using Tsukuyomi. Originally, I designed it to be a case of first suppressing and then elevating, first writing about how those people tortured others in a perverted way, and then writing about how the protagonist tortured them back in an even more perverted way. This part of the design is very dark, and it has to be written in a very specific and detailed way to make people feel immersed.
The extra named James Bond was originally supposed to die in a very twisted way. You can probably guess from all the foreshadowing I've done that this character was destined for a tragic end.
However, the review process for the first few chapters affected my mindset, so I decided not to write any more to avoid having to delete, modify, or block them, which would only make me more upset. After much consideration, I deleted the outline and plot I had designed and then pieced together some plot elements from various sources. As a result, this part of the plot is very chaotic and unpleasant to read.
I'm truly sorry that this is the final product presented to everyone.
Chapter 319 Another good show
Meanwhile, Gu Ran and Tang Shishi used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to their apartment building.
Because Tang Shishi was worried about her mother living alone at home, she had previously installed security grilles on the balcony and windowsills of the house, which prevented outsiders from coming in from the balcony.
All they could do was keep banging on the security door.
With them surrounding them like this, Gu Ran and Tang Shishi couldn't get out.
"Tang Shishi, you can't escape. Surrender! There are our men outside!" a man shouted from outside the security door.
However, before the people outside could say two words, they suddenly heard sirens blaring.
Security personnel from Singapore have arrived.
"Damn, how did they get here so fast!" The person outside seemed a little puzzled; the security guard's arrival was unusually quick.
"Boss, this is bad! They've arrived, all heavily armed SWAT officers..."
The person outside the security door immediately understood what was going on: "Tang Shishi, you actually reported this to the authorities, thinking that this would make us back down? Don't be foolish. Even if these people can protect you for a while, they can't protect you forever. It seems you don't know how terrifying the world of mixed-race people is. Secular power can't restrain us."
Although the people outside spoke with great confidence, they quickly retreated when faced with the guns of the special police. A few people were arrested, but they did not resist and surrendered obediently.
While secular power cannot restrain mixed-race individuals, they also cannot confront the entire national system.
Moreover, Singapore is only so big. If a city-wide manhunt were to occur, they would definitely fight back fiercely, otherwise it would be difficult to escape.
If that were to happen, the secrets of the dragon race would be exposed, and those organizations that maintain order, such as the Secret Party, would definitely intensify their crackdown on them.
So it's better to surrender first, then hire a lawyer to file a lawsuit, and then get the person out.
"Did you call the security guard?" Tang Shishi asked Gu Ran.
"I have connections with Interpol, so I called a team to help us clear some obstacles," Gu Ran explained. He then found a backpack in the room, put it on, and used his transformation magic to become Zhang Jiayi.
"You...this..." Tang Shishi was so surprised she couldn't speak. She had seen too many amazing things today. "Are you Sun Wukong? Can you perform seventy-two transformations?"
"It's just a very simple Word of Power. Let's not talk about it now and go out." Gu Ran looked at Tang Shishi.
Tang Shishi nodded. Now she had to act, pretending that she was taking her mother to escape for their lives.
"The first ones chasing us were just some thugs. They made a big show of it, but they were just trying to scare us. We're not at our wits' end yet." Gu Ran took out the bugging device and prepared to remove the soundproofing foam. "Here we go, let's act. No retakes!"
Tang Shishi nodded. Gu Ran removed the soundproofing foam, and she immediately said, "Mom, it's alright. I'll take you away, but you must listen to me and not say anything carelessly."
"Mmm," Gu Ran replied with a nasal tone.
The SWAT team outside was chasing after the people who had scattered, so the building became quiet.
Tang Shishi walked ahead, and under the cover of night, she grabbed Gu Ran's hand and ran outside. As she ran, she pretended to act and said, "Mom, we'll head north in a bit, go abroad first, and head to Malaysia. I have someone there to meet us. The next flight is taking off in three hours. We can fly directly from Kuala Lumpur to Rome, Italy. There will be a mysterious organization there to help us."
With that, she led Gu Ran into the car and drove north.
However, just as the car entered a section of the highway with few people, a sudden blast appeared on the side of the car, and the violent explosion sent the car flying off the highway and landing on the side.
"Mom!" Tang Shishi shouted dramatically as the car flipped through the air, then glanced at Gu Ran, who remained completely calm and even yawned.
The next second, he took out soundproofing cotton again, wrapped the bugging device, and said, "Okay, now I'm going to pretend to be injured and unconscious, and then the bugging function of this thing will disappear, and they won't suspect anything."
As they were talking, the car crashed onto the grass by the roadside, upside down.
Tang Shishi unbuckled her seatbelt, kicked open the deformed car door, then went around to the passenger seat and pulled the door open with both hands.
She pulled her 'mother' out of the passenger seat and helped her up.
"As expected of the most outstanding bloodline among the younger generation, no one can open a deformed car door like this without tools." Not far away, a man in a black suit slowly walked out.
He was about 1.85 meters tall, and his well-built muscles were hidden under his suit, but Tang Shishi could still sense his strength from his thick neck.
And his eyes were a dazzling gold, though the gold wasn't pure; it had a hint of reddish-gold.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Bald Eagle." The muscular man in the suit looked down at the two women in front of him. "Tang Shishi, come back with me, and I can pretend nothing happened, and your mother can go back to her old life. Otherwise... then we'll have to accept whatever fate may bring."
“If my mother dies, I will no longer do things for you.” Tang Shishi hugged her 'mother's' arm tightly. She was actually a little confused as to how Gu Ran’s transformation magic made her height exactly the same.
“You seem to have misunderstood something,” the vulture laughed. “It doesn’t really matter whether you work for us or not, because your value isn’t what you can do for us, but your bloodline… As for working for us, it’s just to squeeze out the last bit of value from you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the vulture vanished in an instant.
Tang Shishi was stunned for a moment, and Gu Ran immediately reacted: "Quickly use Word of Power, area attack."
Tang Shishi immediately activated her incantation, unleashing a burst of azure lightning within a five-meter radius.
At the edge of the lightning, Tang Shishi clearly sensed the sudden halt in footsteps, presumably because her lightning had temporarily blocked the other person's path.
Gu Ran said, "Run! You don't have enough combat experience; you're no match for him."
Tang Shishi nodded, carried Gu Ran on her back, and then started running.
As she ran, she said, "So you can't become as heavy as my mom... You're quite heavy."
"My body is all muscle, so my weight is normal, but I have a way to make us all lighter!" With that, Gu Ran used a ninjutsu, Earth Release: Super Lightweight Rock Technique!
In an instant, he and Tang Shishi both became lighter.
Tang Shishi felt as light as a swallow, and with one leap, she flew five meters away!
"Wow! That's really amazing!" Tang Shishi said excitedly and admiringly.
This was the first time Gu Ran had been carried on a girl's back. The girl's back was so soft, her hair smelled sweet, and her back felt warm. They ran lightly in the summer breeze.
When we get back, we should also let Su Xiaoqiang read it.
Tang Shishi asked, "Why did he suddenly disappear?"
