After being silent for a while, Joston looked at her. “The people from the medical organization are going back tomorrow. Take Gu Yin to see Kang Qi.”


  Noelle nodded. “Gu Yin seems to have good character. Perhaps she can moderate An An’s temper.”


  Joston’s eyes fell on Gu Si’s information again and his eyes darkened. The data of a seven-year-old kid was protected by skilled hackers.

  Noelle remembered something and asked, “By the way, Dad, what did Lu Chengzhou talk to you about in the morning?”


  Joston said, “A batch of urgently needed goods from No.14 Research Center was partially destroyed by Huo Zhi. We have reserves here.”


  They had come to plead for help. Noelle sneered. “You can force them to buy at 30x the price!”


  Since it was needed urgently, they would buy it at any price.

  Joston pinched the corner of his eyes wearily. “I gave it to them and Lu Chengzhou also promised to help us deliver a batch of goods.”


  Noelle’s face became dark.

  “The Shadow League put Country K on the blacklist. Several organizations no longer accept our orders. Lu Chengzhou was our only contact.” Joston thought for a moment. “Find a way to make peace with the Shadow League and make An An apologize to the doctor.”
……

  In the evening, Gu Mang came out of the shower and wiped her hair with a towel. Her most eye-catching feature were her long legs. She was wearing casual clothes and her short hair was half dried.

  Lu Chengzhou leaned on her bed to make a phone call. Seeing her come out, Lu Chengzhou stretched out his hand towards her and motioned for her to come over. It was a particularly natural movement.

  Gu Mang’s eyes drooped. She wiped her hair and walked over slowly. Then she sat down by the bed. Lu Chengzhou took the honey water that was waiting on the table and handed it to her. Gu Mang took it and then she saw his hand on her lap, almost halfway to her waist. His slender fingers hooked around her clothes. It was intimate and ambiguous.

  Gu Mang’s eyes slowly narrowed.

  One small step at a time?

  Lu Chengzhou glazed at the back of Gu Mang’s neck while on the phone. It was cold, white, and delicate. His black eyes deepened. “When will the final data be released?”


  He Yidu and Qin Fang had just received the goods from Country K and were moving them to No. 14 Research Center.

  He Yidu put one hand in his pocket and held onto his phone. He tilted his head to look at Qin Fang. “I’ll check when I return. If there is no problem, the test will start in three days.”


  Qin Fang glanced back at He Yidu. “Ask Brother Cheng when he will be back.”


  The voice directly reached Lu Chengzhou, and he said indifferently, “The night after tomorrow. Watch the goods closely.”


  He Yidu said, “Okay, the results this time should be more accurate than the previous two attempts.”


  Lu Chengzhou hummed and hung up. He threw the phone aside, and turned his eyes slightly. He saw that Gu Mang was also chatting with someone.

  Her fingers were tapping on the screen, but from his angle, the screen was completely black. Lu Chengzhou sat up, bending his long legs.

  He put his hand on the towel and wiped her hair. “You took a month off and you still have something going on?”


  Gu Mang glanced at Lu Chengzhou’s neckline as he wiped her hair. A section of porcelain white skin was exposed and his collarbone was very delicate and distinct. It was very beautiful.

  She raised her eyebrows and said, “You go back first. I will return to Ming City after I’m done.”


  “Okay.” Lu Chengzhou finished drying her hair and tossed the towel aside. His chin was pressed on one of her shoulders, and he wrapped his arms around her waist. Then, he said in a low voice by her ears, “Very soft, very thin.”


  She was tall for a girl but compared to him she was still short. Gu Mang turned sideways and narrowed her eyes at him.

  They were closer again.
