  Lu Chengzhou nodded as his gaze landed on the pile of parts once more. “Discovered anything?”


  “Yes.” Gu Mang showed him the piece of paper. “Take a look. There are two lines of symbols on it, but I’ve never seen them before.”


  Although Gu Mang had seen and learned plenty of stuff in her life, she had truly never seen that code before.

  Lu Chengzhou picked up the magnifying glass again to take a look at the symbols. When he did, a throaty laugh rang out.

  Gu Mang cocked an eyebrow. “You recognize the code?”


  “How can I not recognize my own code?” said Lu Chengzhou. “Have you heard of Intercontinental Bank?”


  Gu Mang put down the things in her hand and propped her chin up with her hand while narrowing her eyes at him. “Don’t tell me that bank is yours.”


  There was no need to say how rich the world’s most mysterious bank was. It was not listed on the stock market and it was the best in the banking industry for its safety and confidentiality.

  Although Gu Mang knew that she had an account with this bank, she had no money to deposit in there since all of her money had been given to Yu Zhongjing. Thus, it was only natural that she had never seen the code before.

  For the first time ever, Gu Mang felt a bit emotionally tired.?

  “What’s mine is yours,” Lu Chengzhou said this while hooking her chin with his finger. He then shook the magnifying glass in his hand. “This is the safe deposit code. Your parents have left something at my bank.”


  “Oh. Return it to me then,” answered Gu Mang coldly.

  Lu Chengzhou could not help but laugh at that. “You’re the boss of Shadow League after all. How come you’re jealous that I’m richer than you?”


  Gu Mang gave him a side-eye. She was not surprised that he had managed to guess her identity. Then, in all sincerity and seriousness, she confessed, “I’m really poor. Yu Zhongjing has squandered all my money.”


  One would be able to know how expensive medical research was with just one trip to the doctor’s. Some medicines cost as much as hundreds of thousand yuan for a bottle, so one could imagine just how huge the expense of medical research was.

  But the thing was that Yu Zhongjing’s team excluded the research costs and only charged for the production cost of their medicine. It was why only Yu Zhongjing was so well-respected in the medical world and internationally.

  Lu Chengzhou stroked Gu Mang’s head and replied to her in a similar manner. “What a coincidence. I’m also poor. We make a perfect pair since I’m so poor that all I have is money.”


  Gu Mang flashed him a withering smile. “F*ck off, or do you need me to help you?”


  Lu Chengzhou chuckled as he held her and buried his face in the crook of her neck. “I’ll consider it if we’re f*cking each other.”


  “Sure.” Gu Mang nodded and smiled seductively at him. “Come, get it on.”


  Lu Chengzhou’s fingers trembled slightly.?

  …


  Since it was not convenient for Gu Mang to leave Jijing Island right now, it was up to Lu Chengzhou to go to Mingyu Island to collect the things that her parents had left behind for her. As he rubbed her nape, he said, “I’ll try to come back as soon as I can. Call me if anything happens.”


  Gu Mang raised her eyebrows. “You’ve become really naggy.”


  Lu Chengzhou playfully bit her lip. “You ungrateful little thing.”


  He made sure that Gu Mang was well-protected before he left.

  After dinner, Gu Mang went back to her room and wrote down her experiment plan before heading to the lab. Just as she put on her protective gear, she received a call from Yun Ling. She answered the call, put it between her ear and shoulder, and then began buttoning the white coat. “Hello?”


  “Sister Mang,” said Yun Ling. “I’ve combed every corner of your house, but I still can’t find anything useful.”


  “You don’t have to look anymore. I’ve found some clues.”


  When she did not receive any news from Yun Ling in the past seven days he was in Changning County, she knew that it was unlikely that he would find what she wanted there.

  Yun Ling exhaled in relief. He had been worried that he would end up screwing up his first mission…… “Okay. Is there anything else you need me to do?”
