  Upon hearing this, Gu Yin, who was struggling in the subordinate’s hands, quieted down suddenly.

  She slowly looked at Gu Mang stiffly and she looked confused. When she spoke, her voice was tense. “…What do you mean?”


  Elder Gu was surprised too. He looked at Gu Mang in surprise.

  The girl remained silent and she continued to walk ahead. Her eyes were cold.

  “Gu Mang! What do you mean?!” Gu Yin struggled to charge at her but the subordinate held her back by the shoulders so she could not move at all.

  …


  On the way back to the small villa.

  Lu Chengzhou held Gu Mang’s hand and he flipped it around to look at it in a detailed manner.

  “I’m fine.” Gu Mang wriggled her fingers to show him. The wounds on her palm from the previous time had already recovered but the scar on it was still very obvious.

  Lu Chengzhou looked at her hand and furrowed his sharp eyebrows. His chin looked rather tense. “Is it conflicting to be worried about you even if you are fine?”


  He sounded quite bothered. Not angry, but the gloomy and bothered feeling was pretty obvious.

  Gu Mang was silent for a few seconds. “I guess… I will restrain myself next time?”


  Lu Chengzhou looked up and stared into her dark eyes. They were clear and bright.

  If only she said it in a more sincere tone, he would have found it convincing.

  After a while, the man sighed softly as if he was trying to calm himself down.

  He looked down. “I pay Lu Yī and the others quite a lot, so don’t compete with them for their job. They would still be of some use to fight for you.”


  Lu Yī in the front was silent.

  Although he did not wish to admit that they were only worthy of being punching bags, when he recalled how Gu Mang smashed the bulletproof glass into bits, he realized that he had no right to complain.

  Gu Mang knew that it was not right of her to take such action twice today, especially after seeing how fragile Lu Chengzhou’s mentality got because of her.

  So, she answered “okay” obediently.

  Lu Chengzhou examined her for a whole five minutes and after being sure that there was nothing wrong with her hand, he stopped worrying.

  “What happened to Gu Si?” Lu Chengzhou had a taste of what this person was capable of doing. It was an unexpected failure of him to be made unconscious by Gu Yin, was Gu Yin that capable?

  Gu Mang was unsure. “There was an injection in his neck. I don’t know how he got tricked into it.”


  No matter how smart Gu Si was, he was still a young boy, so it was not surprising to her that he fell for the trap.

  They returned to the small villa.

  Gu Yin was sent to the basement and locked up.

  Gu Mang and the others walked into the house. When they went in, they saw the subordinates lying all over the floor.

  Bai Sui even made a call to Gu Mang with his last tinge of consciousness.

  Jiangsui’s eyes widened and he cursed violently, “F*CK!”


  Yu Mufeng was in a worse state. He was slumped over at the side of the railings on the second floor. It seemed like he was shot by a tranquilizer when he had just stepped out of the research lab.

  Gu Mang went to the research lab upstairs to retrieve some antidotes and she threw them to Jiangsui. “Inject this into them.”


  Jiangsui, Lu Yī and the rest had all received some basic medical training. They divided themselves into several groups and injected the antidotes into the unconscious people.

  Although this was a special medicine from Jijing Island, it still took some time for them to wake up even after being injected with the antidotes.

  Gu Mang and Lu Chengzhou went down to the basement.

  Gu Yin was locked in the interrogation room. At this moment, she was very quiet, as if she had already thought things out.

  When she saw Gu Mang enter, she looked over coldly. “Everyone says I look a lot like Mom. I am a member of the Gu family.”


  Initially, she was really shocked by Gu Mang but after some thought, she felt that the inheritance of physical traits did not lie.

  Gu Mang must be scaring her and trying to sow discord between her and the Gu family.

  Gu Mang pulled the chair back and sat across from her. She did not speak.

  “Don’t assume that without me, Grandpa, Head Elder and Leng Xuan will let you off.” Gu Yin squinted slightly and her aura had indeed changed a lot from before.

  In the past, she would hide her ambitiousness but now, she spoke in an even more overbearing manner.

  Being the Second Miss of the Gu family gave her the extra confidence.

  Gu Mang crossed her legs and leaned back lazily. “Do you want my spot?”


  Gu Yin was stunned when she heard such a direct statement from her. She snapped back to reality and answered in a tone that was not humble or arrogant, “You and I are both young ladies of the Gu family, Gu Mang. If Mom and Dad didn’t send you to Jijing Island back then, I wouldn’t be any worse than you.”


  She always thought that her parents treated her well and they never asked about Gu Mang’s studies.

  But now she realized that things were the complete opposite.

  “Are you comparing yourself to me?”


  Gu Mang laughed but the smile did not reach her eyes. She moved a little forward in her seat and rested an arm on the table casually. Then, she said slowly, “Do you have what it takes? When I was fighting and killing, you were just useless trash in elementary school.”


  Gu Yin’s face turned sullen instantly and she glared at her.
