Leng Xuan had always believed that so things were not worth listening to. Her subordinates filtered the happenings in the capital and selected what was important for her to know. Gu Yin getting caught plagiarizing Gu Mang wasn’t worth her ti.
As for the matter regarding Master Bi taking in a disciple, it was rely a casual question.
“This ti, there is a freshman team from the dical organization. Let’s see how this exceptional student who was accepted on special grounds will perform,” she said.
Since the student was specially accepted by the dical organization, she wanted to see how impressive she was.
When Gu Yin was exposed, Master Bi had also lost face. He feared the repercussions of the incident so he did not speak much of it. Also, Gu Yin still had a lot of talent in terms of dical skills. Otherwise, the dical organization would not have kept Gu Yin around in the aftermath of the scandal.
He changed the topic. “Let’s see Qianzi first.”
“Get her to co to the hotel after I finish having a chat with Lu Zhan tomorrow,” Leng Xuan said calmly.
“Okay,” Master Bi answered.
Downstairs, in the lobby were several n dressed in black carrying guns. The armbands they wore had Red Scorpion’s emblem on them.
They walked into the lift.
...
The next day.
Gu Mang, Lu Chengzhou, Lu Yī and Lu Qi went to a restaurant to have breakfast.
Lu Chengzhou picked a shortbread cookie for Gu Mang. Just then, then Gu Mang’s phone rang. It was a QQ ssage.
She could guess who had texted her without even looking.
[Good morning, Gu Mang,] read Granny Lu’s ssage. [Happy Greetings.jpg
It was a photo of two red roses. The words overlaid on them were blindingly bright and colorful.
Gu Mang replied with no expression on her face. [Good morning, Grandma.]
Granny Lu sent a voice ssage. “Gu Mang, why don’t you co over to Granny’s place and have dinner tonight? I’ll prepare your favorite dishes.”
Everyone at the table heard it and they looked up at Gu Mang.
Gu Mang looked away and her eyes t Lu Chengzhou’s. “Why didn’t she ask you?”
Lu Chengzhou was very frank. “I seldom go ho. Like three to four tis a year.”
He had dinner with his grandmother even less frequently.
Gu Mang was silent.
Lu Chengzhou continued, “If you’re busy, just reject her. I’m going ho tonight. I’ll co pick you up after dinner.”
Gu Mang recalled Granny Lu’s health condition and she looked at her phone screen again. She replied, [Okay, Grandma.]
Lu Chengzhou saw the ssage and asked, “Will it disrupt your research?”
Gu Mang replied, “It’s alright.”
Lu Chengzhou smiled.
...
At Hotel W.
Leng Xuan and her team were in a dedicated eting room with extrely high confidentiality. They were sitting at one end of a large conference table.
The doors to the eting room opened suddenly.
Lu Zhan was dressed formally in a standard black and white suit. It accentuated his build, making him look more intimidating than usual. Lu Chengzhou was also dressed in a suit. His jacket was unbuttoned and he was not wearing a tie. His white dress shirt was buttoned all the way except for the top button.
Leng Xuan had been playing a ga on her phone. The mont the door was opened, she looked up. Her gaze landed on Lu Chengzhou and she couldn’t help but feel stunned.
She could guess who this person was.
Lu Chengzhou was a na that had been appearing quite frequently at the Elders’ Association lately.
He gave the Elders’ Association many problems. He was the big boss of Red Fla, the most influential organization on Mingyu Island.
Leng Xuan had heard quite a bit about him but this was the first ti she had seen him in person.
Lu Zhan, Lu Chengzhou and the n they brought along sat at the other end of the conference table. Lu Chengzhou crossed his legs casually and leaned backwards. His eyes were deep and seed to glitter under the light.
Leng Xuan looked at him and for so reason she clenched her fists.
Two seconds later, she smiled and got up.
She reached her hand out towards Lu Chengzhou who was seated across from her. “Hi, I am Leng Xuan.”
