  The gun sounds coming from Gu Mang’s game became background noise.

  Meng Jinyang thought for a while. “I think I’ll return to school. Du Xue and the others are still in the dormitory. We can do our papers together.”


  “Sure,” Gu Mang replied. “Let me take a look when you are done.”


  Exams were coming up and she had to practice for them.

  The corner of Meng Jinyang’s lips twitched and she said with a complicated expression, she asked, “Would you get it just by taking a look at it?”


  Gu Mang raised her head expressionlessly and their eyes locked. Meng Jinyang’s eyes widened gradually with shock and confusion.

  Being teased like that, she smirked and laughed lightly. “I guess.”


  She never forgot what she saw. She excelled at whatever she learned……

  At the Red Scorpion training base.

  Gu Si returned from his 5km hike in the wild. His small figure slumped onto the wooden stairs. His face flushed red with exhaustion. He took out a bottle of water from his backpack and raised his head to take a drink.

  Qin Fang stood on the second floor with two hands on the window. He tsked. “This rascal is rather impressive. He is so fit. Any grown man who can handle this kind of high-level training is rare in this team.”


  In the past, he did not believe in ‘geniuses’.

  They still did not know what Gu Si’s IQ was but looking at his level of physical fitness he was clearly a killer. Gu Mang’s fitness level was about the same but it was just that she neglected her optimal time to train so she could only fight with commoners.

  He Yidu brought a thermal flask over with some Goji berries inside. He leaned on the windowsill in a relaxed manner as he looked down and nodded. “He is rather impressive.”


  “Shadow League has sent us the designs.” Lu Chengzhou flipped the lighter with his slender and long fingers nonchalantly. With another hand on the computer mouse, he looked at the design blueprint. Hearing that, He Yidu and Qin Fang were shocked. They straightened up and strode over.

  They stood on either side of Lu Chengzhou and looked at the computer screen.

  Seeing the designs, Qin Fang regained his senses after a few minutes. He did not know what to say so he asked casually. “Brother Cheng, this business deal isn’t cheap, right?”


  “Pretty fine.” Lu Chengzhou leaned back and took out a cigarette. He bit onto it. Snap! He lit the cigarette with a lighter and said nonchalantly. “We got 5% off.”


  The corner of Qin Fang’s lips twitched. “Are we the kind of people who need that 5%?”


  Shadow League was too stingy. They had collaborated so many times so it wouldn’t be unreasonable if they got a membership card and received 20% or 12% off. He Yidu also thought that 5% off was a little awkward.

  Lu Chengzhou said nothing……

  Saturday morning, Lei Xiao phoned Gu Mang.

  Gu Mang was packing her stuff and she glanced at her phone. She picked it up and her voice was very low and rather hoarse. “You don’t have to pick me up, see you at the airport.”


  She hung up.

  Meng Jinyang put some paper on the sandwich that she had made and walked out from the kitchen. She passed it to Gu Mang. “Eat something.”


  Gu Mang did not take it as she found it too troublesome. She took two bites and slung her backpack over her shoulder. She put on her baseball cap. “Gotta go.”


  “Alright.” Meng Jinyang sent her out the door.

  Gu Mang reached the airport and Lei Xiao’s entire family was waiting for her at the entrance. They were all dressed in black.

  Gu Yin smiled. “Sister.”


  Lei Cong was always very excited to see her like a child who has sseen his idol. “Sister Gu Mang!”


  Xia Mingzhu tugged at her son and intentionally kept some distance from Gu Mang.

  The Lei Family wanted to make a good impression on Gu Mang but she would not. She was a person from the Capital who married low into the Lei family. Her father was already beginning to pave the way for Lei Cong. Gu Mang would be a bad influence on Lei Cong.

  They used to be on good terms with the Ruan family but because of Gu Mang their relationship soured. Many rich ladies in their social circle would mock her in private. She could not even handle an orphan with no parents.

  Gu Mang was expressionless. She greeted the people politely. “Uncle, Auntie.”


  Xia Mingzhu smiled faintly. “Gu Mang, why didn’t you bring Gu Si along?”
