After, she stayed in her room for half a month. The books on criminal law were almost worn through from all of her flipping. She found a way and went to discuss it with Jiang Xingyi. As a result, there was a second court hearing and a verdict of 12 year imprisonnt was handed down.
Twelve years was out of everyone’s expectations. It was also an outco that everyone fought hard to achieve under the law back then.
After the case was closed, Jiang Xingyi saw her talent in law and offered to ntor her.
She rejected him.
Jiang Xingyi had always been thinking about taking her to the capital for ntoring so he often ca to her. There were several tis where he brought along Jiang Shenyuan, who was a teenager at the ti.
After Jiang Shenyuan found out that she had helped Jiang Xingyi fix the case, he started treating her as a law prodigy. Sotis, when Jiang Xingyi was busy, Jiang Shenyuan would co directly to Changning County to find Gu Mang by herself, and he would bring a lot of law books.
Afterwards, ng Jinyang’s parents lost her.
When they found her, ng Jinyang was already hysterical. She was sent to a care facility. She was very busy during that period of ti, so it was the Jiang family who often went to the care facility to visit ng Jinyang.
The person who went there the most was Jiang Shenyuan.
Gu Mang tapped on the sides of her phone and clicked on the chat with Jiang Shenyuan. She sent a ssage. “Lawyer Jiang, please take good care of Jinyang during the university entrance exams period.”
Lu Chengzhou watched her as she typed and he raised his eyebrow.
Jiang Shenyuan replied rather quickly. “Didn’t she tell you that I would be keeping her company during her university entrance exams?”
Gu Mang typed slowly. “She did.”
Jiang Shenyuan went silent for a few seconds as he thought. After a while, she replied, “Do you take for Lu Chengzhou?”
Lu Chengzhou frowned.
Gu Mang looked at the man who was leaning on her.
Her phone vibrated. Jiang Shenyuan had sent a ssage. “I’ve already booked the hotel rooms. Two single rooms, one for each of us. We are not staying together.”
Gu Mang replied, “K.”
Then, she locked her screen.
“Explain that.” Lu Chengzhou lifted his chin to point at her phone. He repeated Jiang Shenyuan’s ssage. “Do you take for Lu Chengzhou?”
Gu Mang did not answer.
Lu Chengzhou waited for a while, and saw that she was silent. He pushed her to turn towards him and forced her to look at him. “Explain.”
Gu Mang made eye contact with him for two seconds and said expressionlessly, “I don’t think you can deny the fact that you tried to seduce when I was seventeen.”
Lu Chengzhou tutted. “I think I’ve made quite a loss.”
Gu Mang didn’t understand him. “Huh?”
“When you stayed at Seal Palace, I didn’t do anything. Yet, others think that I have done everything.” He paused. “It’s quite a loss.”
Gu Mang was silent for a while and she changed the topic of the conversation. “What are we having for lunch?”
Lu Chengzhou’s couldn’t help but laugh when he heard her. “We can’t make it back in ti so we shall eat in the cafeteria at Red Scorpion.”
“Okay.” Gu Mang pushed away Lu Chengzhou’s hand which was resting on her shoulder. She got up. “Let’s go.”
Lu Chengzhou pulled her towards him and held her waist. He sat on the sofa and looked up at her. “I’m staying at No. 14 Research Center for so ti this afternoon. Are you following to Ming City or are you staying at the capital?”
Gu Mang knew that Lu Chengzhou was quite a busy person. Ever since they returned from Red Fla, he had been having video conferences every day. He was the busiest with No. 14 Research Center.
She pondered. “The capital. I have so issues to settle.”
“Alright.” Lu Chengzhou nodded and hugged her for a while before leading her to the cafeteria.
After the two finished their als, they left Red Scorpion. Lu Chengzhou seed to be in a hurry. He arranged for a private jet to send him straight to No. 14 Research Center.
After Gu Mang left him, she did not return to the Lu Manor. She sent Yu Mufeng a ssage for him to co and fetch her. Then, they went to Yu Zhongjing’s.
On the way to the dical lab, Gu Mang received a call from Third Uncle.
