Qin Fang hissed and touched his chin. “It never occurred to me that Brother Cheng… Brother Cheng would actually have hot pot at a roadside store!”
The car door suddenly opened and Qin Fang gingerly changed his words.
Getting into the car, Lu Chengzhou shot Qin Fang a glance. “Head to Royal Garden.”
The man was expressionless but his voice gave away his good mood.
Qin Fang was feeling guilty and although he was curious, he dared not ask. Silently, he started the engine.
Having finished a round of games, He Yidu spoke. “Brother Cheng, Lu Si just sent a message. Our goods have been safely delivered. The price offered by Shadow League is ten times higher than the market rate.”
Qin Fang widened his eyes in shock. “What’s going on? Did we offend the Shadow League?”
Incorrect. If we had really offended them, we would not have gotten the order.
Or did they think we would be easily deceived?!
Lu Chengzhou frowned as he pondered over it.
…
After showering, Gu Mang dried her hair and walked to the table.
Pressing the towel against the top of her head, she removed her laptop from the bag and put it on the table. She casually opened the laptop and sat down. She leaned back in the chair, putting it at thirty degree angle. Her long and slender legs were crossed under the table as she exuded a wild vibe.
Not long after, a voice message icon appeared on the empty desktop.
Yun Ling said with excitement, “Let me tell you some good news. I just scammed Lu Chengzhou big time by offering a price ten times higher than the market price.”
Gu Mang paused for a second before recalling that she had made Yun Ling add Lu Chengzhou to the special treatment list because he had once vied with her for the Sleeping Jade. In the end she had managed to procure the Sleeping Jade without spending a single cent.
It seemed inhumane to scam him. A look of guilt flashed across her eyes. She deepened her voice so it was impossible to tell what her gender was. “Don’t mention the grudge between me and Lu Chengzhou again. Accept the order and charge him the market rate.”
“What do you mean?” Yun Ling was baffled. “Have you and Lu Chengzhou buried the hatchet? We’re all friends from now on?”
Gu Mang did not respond but merely said, “Just do it.”
Yun Ling was speechless. This master was acting slightly odd today. Something seemed to be off.
Gu Mang continued to dry her hair with the towel. “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”
Immersed deeply in his own thoughts, Yun Ling quickly returned to his senses and said, “Boss, there’s more. Don’t be in a hurry to hang up. Someone placed an order anonymously in Country K and specifically asked for you to locate that divine traditional chinese physician.”
Gu Mang paused and frowned. “Don’t accept anonymous orders.”
“Sure,” said Yun Ling before adding casually, “There are many reputable medical organizations and western doctors but why are all the big shots looking for a traditional chinese physician? Is he really that formidable?”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows as she spoke lightly and softly, “What, are you looking down on traditional chinese physicians?”
Yun Ling could not sense the chilliness in her words as he explained, “That’s not the case. I’m just curious if he is really that divine.”
Gu Mang chuckled as she said vaguely, “How could he be divine?”
…
The next day at 9 A.M. in the morning.
Gu Mang appeared at the capital’s film studio.
Sheng Ting’s a.s.sistant, Xiao Zhou, was waiting at the entrance of the film studio. Upon seeing Gu Mang, her eyes were filled with excitement. “G.o.d Gu, it’s been a long time!”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows so she appeared cynically devilish.
Looking at Xiao Zhou’s tummy, Gu Mang said lazily, “That’s fast, you’re even pregnant now.”
Xiao Zhou smiled, abashed. “I sent you an invite when I got married but unfortunately you couldn’t come. Brother Ting specially arranged for me to follow you. Let’s head inside and we can chat as we walk.”
