Shen Huan knew that Seal Palace was very famous but didn’t know much else about it. He was shocked to hear that Gu Mang had a place at Seal Palace. Fatty’s family had a house in Seal Palace, but the layout wasn’t particularly great. It was an apartment that his father got after scrambling for it. Lu Yang and Chu Yao didn’t have an apartment in the Seal Palace, but one of them was the son of an official and the other was a young master of a powerful family. They had at least heard some things about Seal Palace. Seal Palace’s black card, however, was only fit for big shots.

  When Gu Mang dropped the card in the elevator, it had totally stunned them. Lu Yang restrained himself for a long time but he couldn’t help but ask.

  Gu Mang looked at him quite indifferently, the corner of her lips turning up into a sinister arc. “Do you think the commercial district’s wash-blowdry-haircut membership card I bought looks nice?”


  Lu Yang was speechless. The corner of his eye twitched.

  Meng Jinyang broke out in a chuckle and helped her out of the bind. “It looks good.”


  She had caught a glimpse of the card as well but didn’t get a good look at it. It seemed to be different from Gu Mang’s card. It seemed more like Mr. Lu’s card. But why was Mr. Lu’s card with Gu Mang?

  Upon hearing that, Fatty immediately sighed with relief. “You scared me. I thought that Sister Mang was a secret bigshot.”


  Chu Yao laughed. “I thought Sister Mang won a few hundred million in the lottery to buy a house at Seal Palace.”


  Gu Mang raised an eyebrow. The group split at the bus station and went back to their respective homes. The three girls returned to the dormitory.

  Meng Jinyang shared the food that they had bought with the others before dipping a macaron in cotton candy for Gu Mang.

  Turning around, she saw Gu Mang putting on a jacket and carrying a bag. “Gu Mang, are you going out?”


  “Yeah.” Gu Mang leaned over to eat the macaron out of Meng Jinyang’s hand and put on her baseball cap. “I’m heading out.”
……

  A white Cayenne was parked near the entrance of the school.

  Qin Rui saw Gu Mang come out of the dormitory and got out of the car immediately. “Ms. Gu.”


  Gu Mang nodded slightly, bent down, and got into the car.

  Qin Rui’s chauffeur looked into the rearview mirror several times.

  The girl was very good-looking. She was sitting languidly in her seat, exuding a carefree wildness. Her aura was very strong.

  “How’s the illness?” Gu Mang said mildly.

  Qin Rui looked at Gu Mang who seemed to be paying more attention to her phone than her surroundings. She spoke in a respectful tone, “It’d be better if my sister told you the symptoms herself. It’s not convenient for me to say.”


  Gu Mang lifted her eyelids and grunted in approval.

  Qin Rui had been sent to Ming City for an assignment. His lodging had been arranged by his superiors. It was in the same district as Lei Xiao’s small western-style house.

  Lei Xiao had came back from socializing and was resting his eyes in the back seat of his car.

  The chauffeur quickly said, “Division Chief Lei, isn’t that Department Chief Qin’s car?”


  Hearing this, Lei Xiao opened his eyes and looked out the front of the car through the gap between the two front seats. He saw a familiar license plate number and frowned.

  Didn’t Qin Rui say that her younger sister was feeling unwell and needed to go back to take care of her? He canceled all of the department’s meetings. Why was he still out? Qin Rui’s car turned a corner. From the car window he could barely make out a woman’s silhouette.

  Long hair. Qin Rui’s younger sister, Qin Yaozhi, had short hair.

  Lei Xiao eyes narrowed and he sneered.

  Qin Rui had said that he was going home to take care of his sister, but he was actually meeting a woman. How could such a person be his superior? Sooner or later he would find some way to get him to step down.

  Lei Xiao thought for a moment and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. “Drive the car over there and stop a distance away. Don’t let anyone notice you.”


  Yes, sir,” said the chauffeur respectfully.

  Lei Xiao watched Qin Rui’s car closely. He wanted to see the woman in the car. How audacious of Qin Rui to bring a woman over.
