Another boy laughed too. “There is a lot of room for improvement with a score of zero. Let her work harder.”


  “No matter how hard she works, she can’t hold a candle to Yinyin.” Jinyang rolled his eyes in disdain. “Yinyin’s grades are already higher than 700 points. Meng Jinyang scores 720 plus points and it’s a matter of time before Yinyin outperforms her.”


  Gu Yin remained silent. After finishing a question, she lifted her eyes and said gently, “I know that you guys are speaking up for me. However, Gu Mang is, after all, my sister. Please say nicer things for my sake.”


  Her deskmate put her arm around Gu Yin’s shoulders. She sighed and said, “You’re just too kindhearted.”


  Gu Yin smiled and kept silent. Lowering her eyelids, the corners of her lips curled with cynicism that vanished instantly.

  Gu Mang will score better? Ah……

  The goods intercepted by He Yidu and Qin Fang were shipped to Ming City’s harbor after one entire day.

  At 8 P.M……

  A black SUV stopped at the harbor. Lu Chengzhou got out of the car. His black, long trench coat accentuated his skinny figure, especially his long and straight legs. He held half a cigarette between his fingers. His steps were steady with some languidness.

  When Qin Fang saw Lu Chengzhou, he rushed up to him and exclaimed, “Brother Cheng! We’ve made a fortune! This is a windfall! I think it’s because I prayed to the Fortune God before leaving home.”


  He looked like a silly man who had won the lottery and was returning to his hometown in silken robes.

  He Yidu shifted his gaze away and was cautious. “These goods aren’t that easy to get. It’s a pretty big sum and the other side will surely snatch them.”


  The other side would have to suffer the losses. The goods were worth tens of billions.

  Lu Chengzhou narrowed his eyes and looked at the infinite darkness in the distance. He took a puff of the cigarette and blew out the smoke.

  “Thinking of snatching them back?” The man scoffed and said with indifference, “Wishful thinking. Go get Lu Wu back from Red Scorpion.”


  He Yidu smiled. “Got it.”


  Dog eat dog. They were the best at it.

  Qin Fang put his hands in his pocket as he instructed the subordinates who were moving the goods. “Pick them up and put them down gently!”


  He Yidu was left speechless. This fool.

  Lu Chengzhou swept his gaze across them as he flicked off the ashes from his cigarette. “I’m fetching someone so I’m leaving.”


  After that he got in the car.

  He Yidu knew who he was fetching and did not even have to guess. The master’s intentions were too obvious, as though he were afraid that others would know……

  At the entrance of Ming City High School.

  Students were surging out of school. Gu Mang was wearing a cap as she walked straight to Lu Chengzhou who was standing in a quiet corner.

  When he saw her, he extinguished his cigarette and stepped forward. Taking her bag, he carried it in his hand.

  Using his other hand, he wrapped it around her hand. It felt chilly. “Are you cold?”


  Gu Mang shook her head. “It’s alright.”


  The temperature was falling today and the forecast said it would snow tomorrow.

  She looked at Lu Chengzhou who was wearing only a shirt underneath his trench coat. She then looked at the cotton padded jacket she was wearing before narrowing her eyes.

  His hand felt pretty warm.

  Lu Chengzhou opened the car door and gestured with his chin. “Get in first.”


  Gu Mang got in the car. The warm air from the air conditioner was so comfortable that she raised her eyebrows. Lu Chengzhou got in the car from the other side. He removed his trench coat and placed it casually to one side. He was about to say something when Gu Mang’s phone rang.

  She fished it out from her uniform pocket and took a glance. Lu Shangjin was calling her.

  Picking up the call, she heard Lu Shangjin’s voice. “Gu Mang, do you have time to make a trip to the police station? There is something that the forensic pathologist doesn’t understand and would like to clarify with you.”


  Upon hearing that Gu Mang hummed in acknowledgment.

  She hung up the call and looked at Lu Chengzhou. “Let’s go to the police station first. I have some business there.”


  Lu Chengzhou nodded and instructed Lu Yī to drive to the police station.
