Seeing that it was about time, Gu Mang tried to leave.

  “Do you still have something on in the afternoon?” Lu Chengzhou looked at her.

  Gu Mang nodded. “I’m going to the library to check out some information.”


  Bian Xiulin and Jiang Yeguang looked at each other. Then Bian Xiulin said, “We will be leaving with Ms. Gu. Old Song has a speech at the forensics department of Capital University in the afternoon and he has invited us.”


  When Qin Fang heard that, he smiled. “What a coincidence, we are also attending the talk.”


  Gu Mang turned to Lu Chengzhou. “Are you going as well?”


  Lu Chengzhou nodded. “You have been to the Forensic Department of the Criminal Police Team. You should have heard of him. He is the first person in the forensic field to test with DNA technology. He is Song Xian, the director of the Criminal Division.”


  Gu Mang put down her crossed leg. “Ah…… I’ve heard of him.”


  Lu Chengzhou got up and took her bag. Then, he asked her, “Do you want to attend the talk?”


  Gu Mang remained silent.

  Qin Fang said, “Sister-in-law, it’s not easy to get into this talk, the seats get snatched up quickly. If you come with us, you won’t need a ticket.”


  With that, he stood up and stuffed the cigarette box on the table into his pocket.

  He and He Yidu could only have some sense of pride around Gu Mang thanks to their family background and connections. Otherwise, they stayed humble.

  He Yidu said, “The Criminal Division’s technology is currently the first in the country. You can go and learn about it, Sister Mang. The talk should last for about two hours.”


  Lu Chengzhou looked at her. “Come and listen with us?”


  Gu Mang answered, “.……Fine.”


  They all left the World Restaurant……

  In the office next door to the site of the talk.

  Principal Ren and the two vice principals welcomed Song Xian personally and they were having a chat with him.

  Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang entered.

  The three leaders of Capital University quickly stood up to greet them and invited them to sit down. The vice principal served them some tea.

  Lu Chengzhou looked at Song Xian and greeted him politely. “Elder Song.”


  Song Xian was in his seventies but he was very healthy, so he looked like he was in his fifties. He had worked in the forensics field for decades. Every day, he came into contact with corpses and evidence from cold cases. This has caused him to seem distant and cold like frost.

  Ever since Gu Mang had come in, Song Xian had been glaring at her hand which was intertwined with Lu Chengzhou’s.

  Now that he heard Lu Chengzhou’s voice, he looked away and nodded coldly. “Young Master Lu.”


  Qin Fang and He Yidu greeted Song Xian as well.

  Their small talk ended.

  Song Xian looked at Gu Mang as if he had seen through everything. “You didn’t come when I invited you but now you are here because someone else told you to come?”


  Everyone was shocked to hear such a sudden statement. They did not know who Song Xian was speaking to. Also, his attitude towards Gu Mang was totally different. It was not as cold as before.

  Everyone exchanged glances. Lu Chengzhou turned to look at Gu Mang. His dark eyes were deep.

  Qin Fang asked in confusion, “Elder Song, who are you referring to?”


  He Yidu kicked Qin Fang and signaled to him that it was Gu Mang.

  Qin Fang was speechless.

  After a few moments of feeling empty, Qin Fang could not calm down.

  He was just being thankful that his background and connections allowed him to raise his head in front of this big boss.

  Gu Mang stopped giving off a nonchalant and rebellious vibe. She greeted Song Xian properly but her tone was rather cold. “Master.”


  Lu Chengzhou said nothing.

  Qin Fang and He Yidu were confused. “What?”


  The two guessed that Gu Mang might have known Song Xian because of a past criminal case, but they never thought that Gu Mang would be Song Xian’s apprentice.

  According to hearsay in the capital, Song Xian only had one apprentice.

  Everyone else was even more taken aback. To become Song Xian’s apprentice, Gu Mang’s talents and skills had to be superb.

  Song Xian’s other disciple was already an associate professor-level researcher at the Criminal Division at the age of 24.

  Then Gu Mang……

  Everyone felt as if lightning had struck them in the brain.
