Chapter 421 An Official Meeting Between Father And Daughter
Tang Haifeng wanted to stop them, because fighting wasn't a good thing, and he was worried that they could get hurt, but since both of them agreed, he couldn't do anything about it, so he just reminded them to be careful. "Do be careful!"
"I will!" Cao Wenxin gave her grandpa a perfunctory answer then ran to the yard, pulling Gu Ning followed by Tang Jiakai.
Tang Haifeng also followed them walking outside.
In the yard, Cao Wenxin and Gu Ning stood across from each other, while Tang Haifeng and Tang Jiakai stood three meters away.
Cao Wenxin asked, "Are you ready?"
"I'm ready," Gu Ning said.
"Great, let's begin!" Cao Wenxin said, and attacked Gu Ning at once. She wasn't sure about Gu Ning's strength, so she only used a third of her strength in case Gu Ning would be hurt. Facing Cao Wenxin, Gu Ning didn't bother to use much strength either.
Domestic servants in the Tang family all went ahead to watch the game. In the beginning, they thought that Gu Ning had annoyed Cao Wenxin. However, since Tang Jiakai and Tang Haifeng were watching too, they understood that it was just to practice.
After a few movements, seeing that Gu Ning wasn't weak at all, Cao Wenxin started to attack heavily.
Cao Wenxin was good at fighting, but was still barely comparable to Gu Ning. Gu Ning could beat the top Special Forces after all, and Cao Wenxin was merely as strong as a common soldier. Therefore, no matter how heavily she attacked Gu Ning, Gu Ning could easily get control of her. When Cao Wenxin used her full strength, but still failed to gain any advantage in the competition, she understood that she was hardly an opponent for Gu Ning.
Cao Wenxin didn't want to give up, so she persisted.
Right at this moment, a black Bentley moved into the gate of the Tang family. It was Tang Yunfan's car.
Once the car entered the gate, Tang Yunfan noticed the two girls who were fighting against each other. Even though Gu Ning was moving quickly, he still recognized her at first glance. Seeing Gu Ning, Tang Yunfan was struck dumb. It's her! Why is she here?
Tang Yunfan's mood was affected when Gu Ning appeared in his sight, and he didn't know why either. Seeing that they were fighting, he couldn't help worrying about Gu Ning even though Gu Ning had the advantage. Tang Yunfan didn't understand that it was because of their blood connection.
Gu Ning sensed Tang Yunfan's gaze and also saw him. Although it was Tang Aining's soul in Gu Ning's body, she had a strange feeling while facing Gu Ning's biological father. In her previous incarnation, Tang Aining's father was a totally evil person who had betrayed her mother and made her mother lie in a vegetative state. She also had to follow her father's orders, risking her life and do bad things for the sake of her mother's life. She couldn't change what had already happened, but she could get revenge. She made up her mind to completely unseat that Tang family.
Thinking of that, Gu Ning's emotions were affected, and she accidentally hit Cao Wenxin's left shoulder with great force and Cao Wenxin's left shoulder was dislocated.
Cao Wenxin felt hurt, but she didn't shout in pain, because she had often been injured throughout the years of training kung fu.
Everyone was shocked by the accident, including Gu Ning. She immediately walked to Cao Wenxin and said, "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it." Saying that, she pulled Cao Wenxin's left arm and moved the shoulder back to its normal position.
"It's fine." Cao Wenxin didn't mind, because she knew that Gu Ning didn't mean to hurt her. And it was unavoidable to be hurt in a fight.
"Are you alright?" Tang Jiakai and Tang Haifeng ran to them and asked worriedly.
"I'm fine. It's unavoidable to get hurt in a fight." Cao Wenxin explained, because she didn't want others to blame Gu Ning. Tang Haifeng and Tang Jiakai understood that, and nobody blamed Gu Ning.
"Gu Ning, I failed," Cao Wenxin said. "However, you're really awesome! Do you have a kung fu master as your teacher or something?"
Gu Ning smiled. "Yes!"
"Really?" Cao Wenxin was surprised. "What does she do? Can I meet her?"
"She passed away last year," Gu Ning said and looked sad.
"What?" Cao Wenxin was shocked. "I'm sorry. I…"
"It's fine. You didn't know." Gu Ning didn't mind.
Meanwhile, Tang Yunfan walked to them, and his sight fell on Gu Ning once in a while.
"Yunfan! Come here. Let me introduce you!" Tang Yunfan said, and pulled Gu Ning to Tang Yunfan's side. "This is my new granddaughter, Gu Ning."
When Tang Yunfan stood with Gu Ning, Tang Haifeng thought the two really resembled each other so much. He sighed and said, "Well, I just can't help noticing that you two closely resemble each other."
Hearing that, Tang Yunfan looked at Gu Ning's face, and he was distracted a little. Cao Wenxin also glanced between Tang Yunfan and Gu Ning. She had the same idea.
"It's true!" Cao Wenxin said with surprise. Although Tang Haifeng had told her that Gu Ning greatly resembled a young Tang Yunfan, she had been too young at that time, so she didn't have much of an impression. However, when Tang Yunfan and Gu Ning appeared at the same time, their features were very alike.
"Indeed! If uncle were married, I would believe that Gu Ning is uncle's daughter," Tang Jiakai said.
Daughter? Hearing the word, Tang Yunfan had a strange feeling, and he felt an increasingly growing intimacy towards Gu Ning, which made himself think that maybe there was a connection between Gu Ning and him.
"Grandpa, is Gu Ning your Illegitimate daughter?" Cao Wenxin suddenly had a wild guess.
"Are you insane!" Tang Haifeng hit Cao Wenxin with his crutch, but Cao Wenxin quickly moved away.
"I'm just kidding!" Cao Wenxin argued.
"Do you think that it's funny?" Tang Haifeng was mad.
Cao Wenxin also realized that she shouldn't have said that, so she remained quiet afterwards.
Chapter 422 Investigate Gu Ning's Life Experience
"Girl Gu, please don't mind. Xin is just joking," Tang Haifeng said to Gu Ning.
"It's fine." Gu Ning didn't care.
Seeing that Gu Ning wasn't mad, Tang Yunfan was relieved, then he introduced Tang Yunfan to Gu Ning. "This is your Uncle Yunfan."
"Nice to meet you!" Gu Ning said.
"Hi," Tang Yunfan said lightly. All of a sudden, Tang Yunfan felt great pain in his head.
"Yunfan, what's wrong?" Tang Haifeng was nervous.
Tang Yunfan's secretary, Quan Mingkai, who was walking behind him, immediately ran over and opened his briefcase to get the medicine.
Quan Mingkai was Quan Bohang's son and had complete loyalty towards the Tang family, so he became Tang Yunfan's closest assistant. However, before Quan Mingkai took out the medicine, Gu Ning stepped forward and directly massaged Tang Yunfan's temples with her hands. She rubbed steadily, but secretly put her power into Tang Yunfan's body.
"What…" Quan Mingkai was struck dumb, and didn't know what was happening. He held the medicine up before Tang Haifeng but was stopped. "Wait a second," Tang Haifeng said.
Although everyone knew that Gu Ning had a special method of massage, they couldn't help doubting its effect.
Tang Yunfan felt a flow of coldness spread in his head, and the pain was soon relieved. After a short while, he went back to normal. Tang Yunfan opened his eyes, looking at Gu Ning who was right in front of him. He felt so close to this girl.
"Yunfan, how do you feel now?" Tang Haifeng asked with concern.
"I don't feel any pain now," Tang Yunfan said. He then turned to Gu Ning. "Thank you so much."
���You're welcome," Gu Ning said with a gentle smile.
Quan Mingkai hadn't seen Gu Ning's face until now, and he was astonished to see that this girl greatly resembled his boss.
"I have some files to deal with, so I'll go back to my room now. Please let me know when dinner is ready," Tang Yunfan said coldly, like he couldn't stand being with them any longer.
Quan Mingkai followed him at once.
"Girl Gu, please don't mind. He's always like that," Tang Haifeng said to Gu Ning.
"I understand. It's fine," Gu Ning said.
"Why did Yunfan suddenly have a headache? And he has medicine with him. Apparently, it wasn't the first time. Is he…" Tang Haifeng was deeply worried. "Grandpa, you don't need to worry. Uncle is fine now," Gu Ning said.
Hearing that and thinking of Gu Ning's exceptional ability, Tang Haifeng relaxed. If Gu Ning was able to cure his heart disease, Tang Yunfan's headache must be easy.
"Wow, sister, you're so awesome!" Tang Jiakai said with admiration.
"Sister, are you a goddess in a human being's body? You're so good at kung fu and you also easily cured grandpa and uncle!" Cao Wenxin said.
"Maybe!" Gu Ning joked.
"Ha-ha, you won��t reject any compliment, will you?" Cao Wenxin laughed. "Nevertheless, you have to teach me some fighting skills!" Saying that, Cao Wenxin pulled Gu Ning, walking back to the center of the yard, whether Gu Ning agreed or not. Gu Ning, of course, didn't mind.
Ever since Tang Yunfan had been in an accident 19 years ago, the Tang family wouldn't forbid the younger generation from practicing kung fu. Instead, the younger generation except for Tang Jiakai who wasn't very interested in kung fu, and who merely dabbled in it, had been trained professionally from their childhood so that they could protect themselves if anything happened to them.
Cao Wenxin was able to fight against 10 common men by herself. She was much better than Chu Peihan.
Gu Ning sensed that someone kept looking at her the entire time from the third floor of the main living building. Without a doubt, it had to be Tang Yunfan. It was a good thing that Tang Yunfan still felt attached to Gu Ning.
In the study on the third floor, Tang Yunfan was standing by the window. Through the curtain, he was staring at the beautiful young girl in the yard. He wasn't clear about what he was doing, but he was unwilling to rest either.
Quan Mingkai noticed that there was something wrong with his boss, and he also had many thoughts in his mind. However, he didn't dare to say it because he wasn't sure.
All of a sudden, Tang Yunfan covered his forehead with his hand again. Quan Mingkai thought that he was having a headache once more and asked in a hurry, "Boss, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I just have a strange feeling towards this girl. I don't know why, but I have the desire to get close to her." Facing Quan Mingkai, Tang Yunfan didn't hide his real feelings. Quan Mingkai was the one that Tang Yunfan talked with most in the Tang family. Even Tang Haifeng wasn't confident that he knew Tang Yunfan better than Quan Mingkai did.
"Boss, is it possible that the girl really has some connection with you? After all, you lost a year of memory. Could it be possible that you had a daughter with a woman in that year?" Quan Mingkai had a wild guess. Before Gu Ning appeared, nobody would ever have had that idea, but Gu Ning indeed greatly resembled Tang Yunfan, and people started to make wild guesses.
Hearing that, Tang Yunfan's body stiffened a little. Every time he had a headache, there was a vague image of a woman in his mind. Although the image wasn't clear at all, it affected Tang Yunfan deeply and made him refuse to get married to another woman.
In the past, Tang Yunfan had the idea that the vague image could have some connection with him, but he didn't have any proof, and the image was too vague to be real, but now, Gu Ning's appearance made Tang Yunfan believe that what Quan Mingkai had just said was likely to be true.
Since he had doubts, he would find out the truth. "Investigate Gu Ning's life experiences as soon as possible!"
"Yes, boss," Quan Mingkai answered. Then he made a call and gave the order. With the influence of the Tang family, it couldn't be easier to investigate a person.
When it was just past 6 pm, the Cao family's car drove into the gate of the Tang family's grand house. Cao Wenxin and Gu Ning were practicing kung fu in the yard. This time, they weren't competing against each other, but Gu Ning was teaching Cao Wenxin.
Seeing the scene, Cao Wenxin's parents, Cao Ruihua and Tang Yunrong, were both amazed. "Jesus! The girl who is teaching Xin must be my father's new granddaughter, Gu Ning! She's even better at kung fu than Xin is. I'm curious about her background," Tang Yunrong said in surprise.
Chapter 423 Family Dinner
"I think she must have been trained professionally," Cao Ruihua said. It seemed that this young girl wasn't simple at all. Did she really have no other aims when she established a close relationship with the Tang family? Although Gu Ning had saved Tang Haifeng���s life, and the Tang family owed her. They couldn't deny the possibility that she had done it for her own benefits.
Of course, Cao Ruihua didn't want to think that Gu Ning was a bad person either, but one had to be careful. If Gu Ning simply want to expand her business with the Tang family's support, as long as it was legal, they wouldn't mind, because they did owe her. However, if her aim was to hurt the Tang family, they would never allow it to happen.
The Cao family's car stopped outside of the main living building. Cao Ruihua and Tang Yunrong got out of the car, walking to Cao Wenxin and Gu Ning.
"Hi, aunt and uncle!" Tang Jiakai said.
"Jiakai, is this girl your grandpa's new granddaughter?" Tang Yunrong asked.
"Yes!" Tang Jiakai replied.
At this time, Cao Wenxin and Gu Ning stopped too. Cao Wenxin pulled Gu Ning, running to Cao Ruihua and Tang Yunrong. "Dad, Mom, please let me introduce you. This is Gu Ning; Grandpa's new granddaughter." Seeing Cao Wenxin's attitude, she obviously liked Gu Ning.
Cao Ruihua and Tang Yunrong were both astonished then when they noticed Gu Ning's face. Wow, they look exactly alike! Tang Yunrong suddenly had a good impression of Gu Ning. "You indeed closely resemble Yunfan when he was young!"
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Cao and Mrs. Cao!" Gu Ning greeted them politely. They hadn't officially regarded her as a member of their family yet, so it wasn't appropriate if Gu Ning called them uncle and aunt right now.
Gu Ning's good manners also impressed them.
"Nice to meet you too!" Tang Yunrong said with pleasure.
"Hi," Cao Ruihua said lightly. It wasn't because he disliked Gu Ning, although he did have suspicions. Instead, he always looked strict. And even though he held suspicion towards Gu Ning, he wouldn't show them on his face.
Actually, Gu Ning completely understood that they wouldn't completely trust her yet, because she was still a stranger to them. If they completely trusted her just because she had saved Tang Haifeng's life, they would be too naive to be such a successful family.
They treated her politely now just because she hadn't done anything harmful to the Tang family yet, but it was impossible for them to sincerely regard her as a member of their family in such a short time. They would when Tang Yunfan finally found out that she was his biological daughter. However, Gu Ning wasn't in a hurry.
"It's getting dark. Let's go inside!" Tang Yunrong said. Although Cao Wenxin wanted to continue, it was late.
Cao Wenxin directly held Gu Ning's shoulder and said, "Sister, why don't you go out with me to have fun tonight?"
"Where? I'll go with you!" Tang Jiakai asked in excitement.
"Just shopping, hanging on the street, having some snacks or something," Cao Wenxin said and gave Tang Jiakai a knowing glance. Tang Jiakai immediately understood where Cao Wenxin was really going tonight, and he was more excited then.
"Sounds good. I can be your driver," Tang Jiakai said.
Gu Ning, on the other hand, had no idea where they were going to have fun tonight, but she didn't care. Since they were all in a good mood today, it wasn't a bad idea to hang out with them.
Before long, Tang Yunhang and his wife, Jiang Liwen, came home. When they saw Gu Ning, they had the same reaction as everyone else. "Oh, you must be Gu Ning!" Jiang Liwen smiled.
"It's so nice to meet you! Yes, I'm Gu Ning." Gu Ning stood up at once and greeted them.
"Well, we heard about what you did, and that you're so outstanding at such a young age! Again, thank you so much for rescuing my father-in-law," Jiang Liwen said with sincerity.
"It's my pleasure, and I think it's fate that brought us together," Gu Ning said.
"You're right. That's fate." Jiang Liwen laughed, and she liked Gu Ning from her heart now. Gu Ning was so pretty, kind and smart, and she wished she could have a daughter like her.
In fact, Jiang Liwen had always wanted a daughter, but unfortunately, when she had given birth to Tang Jiakai and his twin brother, she had been injured and could not get pregnant again.
If Cao Wenxin wasn't born in the Tang Family, she probably would have adopted a girl as her daughter.
"Come here, and have a seat." Jiang Liwen pulled Gu Ning to sit down next to her, and then began to chat with Gu Ning.
The meal wasn't ready yet, and Cao Ruihua asked Tang Yunhang to discuss something upstairs. When they came to Tang Yunhang's study, Cao Ruihua directly told Tang Yunhang his suspicions towards Gu Ning. He had no intention to stir things up, but just reminded Tang Yunhang to be careful.
Tang Yunhang actually had the same idea as Cao Ruihua. He didn't believe Gu Ning was just being kind and had no other aims either. Thus he would treat her politely until she was caught doing harmful things.
"Do you think we need to investigate her?" Cao Ruihua asked.
"I don't think so. If she doesn't want to hurt us at all, it'll be rude if we investigate her behind her back, but we do need to be cautious," Tang Yunhang said.
Cao Ruihua agreed.
When it was dinner time, they all gathered in the dining hall. Gu Ning was arranged to sit by Tang Haifeng. Actually, there was no rule for the Tang family to sit by order, and nobody would mind who sat with whom.
Before they started to enjoy the dinner, Tang Haifeng said seriously, "I bet that everyone already knows about Girl Gu. I invited her to visit me at home in order to let you meet her too. From now on, she's a member of our family and we will treat her as our family." Hearing that, everyone agreed, and no one was dissatisfied.
After that, Tang Haifeng introduced his family to Gu Ning. "Girl Gu, this is Tang Yunrong, my eldest child, and this is Cao Ruihua, her husband. Tang Yunhang is my elder son, and Jiang Liwen is his wife. Tang Yunfan is my younger son. They're all your uncles and aunts now. Cao Wenjun is also a member of the Cao family, but he's busy today, so he's absent. Jiakai has a twin brother called Tang Jiayang. He's studying abroad."
After the introduction, Gu Ning stood up and greeted them. "I'm so happy to have you all be my family, and Happy New Year everyone!"
"Happy New Year!" they said together.
Chapter 424 New Year Gift
"It's the New Year festival and we definitely have to give you a New Year gift," Jiang Liwen said first, and took out a document from her handbag. "Ningning, this is for a villa in Huafu Hills. Please take it as me and your eldest uncle's New Year gift as well as the first meeting gift for you. If you're not used to staying in this old house when you come to City B in the future, you may stay in the villa." Gu Ning was a little shocked, and didn't take it immediately. "Wow, it's too luxurious."
"Ningning, just take it! I live right next to this villa, so we can be neighbors!" Cao Wenxin persuaded.
"But…" Although the Tang family was the richest family in City B, and a villa was nothing for them. The house price was crazily high in City B and a villa in the downtown was worth at least dozens of millions of yuan!
as
"Please accept it! We're a family, aren't we?" Jiang Liwen said.
Gu Ning didn't know how to reject so she accepted it in the end. "Thank you so much!"
After that, Tang Yunrong took out her gift. "Ningning, this is the gift from me and your uncle. Since you already have a villa, you must be in need of a car. The car is parked at the villa."
"Thank you so much!" Gu Ning had no reason to reject Cao Ruihua and his wife, since she had already accepted the gift from Tang Yunhang and his wife.
She took a look at the papers in the file. It was a Lamborghini which cost over ten million yuan.
And then, it was Tang Yunfan��s turn. He took out a red envelope and said, "Happy New Year." Although he seemed cold as usual, he sounded unusually gentle.
"Thanks!" Gu Ning took it. She used her Jade Eyes, and saw a Black Card inside. OMG! Her father really was the richest one in the family!
Maybe because Tang Yunfan was Gu Ning's biological father, Gu Ning didn't feel uncomfortable accepting the card.
After receiving all the gifts, it was time for Gu Ning to give hers out. "Well, I also prepared New Year gifts for you all. Please wait a second." Saying that, she left the dining table for her gifts.
Although they were too rich to be lacking anything, they were curious about Gu Ning's gifts.
Gu Ning then took out a large box from her suitcase and laid it on the table. Afterwards, she took the gifts out one by one.
"I don't know much about your likes, and all I have is jade, so all my gifts are jade," Gu Ning said. She firstly gave Tang Haifeng a box. "This is for grandpa, and I hope you like it."
Although everyone knew that Gu Ning had plenty of jade, jade was very expensive as a gift, especially from a young girl.
"Me? Didn't you already give me the Sancai camel?" Tang Haifeng was quite surprised. He didn't expect that he would get a second New Year gift.
Hearing about the Sancai camel, everyone was amazed, because it was known for its rarity and high price. Gu Ning was really generous!
Gu Ning smiled, but didn't say anything and placed the box in front of Tang Haifeng. Tang Haifeng opened it and was shocked. Inside the box was a pair of lion heads made of King's Green jade with qilin patterns on it.
"It's the King's Green!" Tang Haifeng was totally amazed. This pair of jade lion heads was worth around forty million yuan!
Gu Ning had sent Master Leng the King's Green jade, so she of course wouldn't hesitate to give her own grandpa the best jade that she had. Although she didn't have much of the King���s Green jade, it was enough to make several small objects.
Hearing that it was the King's Green, the rest of the people around the table were astonished too. Nobody expected that Gu Ning would give such an expensive
gift!
After that, Gu Ning took out another three boxes and placed them in front of Tang Yunfan, Tang Yunhang and Cao Ruihua. "Um, yours aren't as good as grandpa's. Please don't mind."
The men rounded their eyes in shock, because they realized that their gifts had to be precious as well, and felt a little guilty to accept such expensive gifts from the younger generation.
They opened their gifts at the same time, and there was a pixiu[1] the size of a fist in their boxes. The flawless jade was bright like glass. It was jade of the old-pit glass type! Although it wasn't as rare as the King's Green, it was worth dozens of millions of yuan too.
They knew little about jade, but Tang Haifeng was familiar with it. The moment he saw the pixiu, he raised his voice in surprise. "Oh, it's jade of the old-pit glass type!"
And then Tang Jiakai got his New Year gift which was also a jade accessory of the old-pit glass type, but his wasn't as big as the uncles'.
Each of the ladies in the room, including Cao Wenxin, received a whole set of jade jewelry which consisted of a pair of earrings, jade pendant, a pair of bracelets and a ring.
Every set cost at least ten million yuan. Even the Tang family was shocked by its price.
Seeing that they were still in shock Gu Ning joked. "Well, I'm not being generous for nothing. I'm going to open a jewelry branch in City B in the near future, and you all have to advertise it for me, like at a party or a ball or something else. And you also have to mention the brand, Jade Beauty Jewelry!" Gu Ning said a lot with exaggerated body language, which amused everyone. They, of course, understood that Gu Ning was just joking and persuading them to accept the gifts.
The women loved the jewelry, and none of them could put it down. It wasn't because they couldn't afford it, but because it was so hard to find high quality jade, and beautiful designs. Gu Ning's gifts exactly satisfied their needs. Even Cao Wenxin who never wore jewelry was absorbed in the blood-red jade jewelry. She loved the bright and red color.
"No problem, I will advertise it for you." Jiang Liwen smiled.
"Me too!" Tang Yunrong said.
"I'll do the advertising for you. If you need a brand ambassador, I can get the most popular star in the Tanghuang Group to do it for free," Tang Yunfan said.
The Tang family owned an entertainment and media company, so it was influential in advertising and promotion. 90% of the stars who got the support of Tanghuang were soon popular.
The others were surprised by Tang Yunfan's proposal, but they all agreed with him.
Chapter 425 The Kirin Gang
"Thank you all so much for your help!" Gu Ning said. "Oh, I've also prepared gifts for the two older brothers although they're absent. Theirs are the same as Jiakai's."
"And now, let's have a toast!" Tang Yunfan proposed.
"Yay!" Everyone raised their glasses.
They enjoyed the dinner in harmony. Even Tang Yunfan who was always quiet talked to Gu Ning once in a while, which surprised everyone around them.
Tang Haifeng wanted to bring up that Tang Yunfan could regard Gu Ning as his own daughter, but didn't say it. It was better for them to discuss it in private. If Tang Haifeng brought it up right now and Tang Yunfan refused to do so, Gu Ning would be embarrassed.
After dinner, they were chatting casually in the front hall.
A short while later, Cao Wenxin urged Gu Ning to go hang out with her, so Gu Ning said goodbye to the others and left with her suitcase.
Tang Yunhang and his wife invited Gu Ning to stay in the Tang family's old house for the night, but Gu Ning declined. They didn't insist, but told her to visit them again if she had time.
After Gu Ning was gone, Tang Haifeng said to Tang Yunfan, "I think that Girl Gu is a good girl, and I like her very much, so I took her as my own granddaughter. I think that you two also got along well today. Do you have the thought to take her as your own daughter?"
"Not right now," Tang Yunfan said. He didn't agree, nor disagree, because he wanted to wait till he found out about Gu Ning's life experience.
Since Tang Yunfan said so, Tang Haifeng didn't say anything further.
Tang Jiakai drove Cao Wenxin and Gu Ning. Cao Wenxin's car was left in the Tang family's old house. She planned to pick it up tomorrow.
"Wenxin, where are we going now?" Gu Ning asked.
"The Earth Nightclub," Cao Wenxin said. "It's a high-end entertainment place with boxing, karaoke, games, a casino and so on, but I'm most interested in the boxing and games, and a boxing match will begin at 10 pm. We'll arrive there around 9 pm, so we can play some games first."
As for the games, Gu Ning wasn't interested, but she would love to try the casino, because she had Jade Eyes.
"What's the background of the Earth Nightclub? Will they revenge themselves on those who win too much? I heard that it's evil and dirty in a casino," Gu Ning said.
"The Earth Nightclub is run by the Kirin Gang which is one of the two most powerful gangs in this country. I haven't heard about any revenge yet, but I know little about the details," Cao Wenxin said.
Gu Ning didn't trust the gang's industries, but since she was already here, it would be a shame if she didn't win some money.
While they were still on the way, Leng Shaoting called Gu Ning. Gu Ning plugged her earphones in before she answered the call, because she didn't want Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai to hear their conversation.
"Who is it? Do you have to be so mysterious?" Cao Wenxin teased.
Gu Ning ignored her. "Hi!"
"Ningning, what are you doing right now?" Leng Shaoting asked.
"I just finished dinner, and I'm hanging out with an older sister and brother. How about you?" Gu Ning asked.
"Do you miss me?" Leng Shaoting suddenly asked.
Gu Ning was struck dumb for a second. It was the first time that Leng Shaoting had ever asked her that. She was, of course, missing Leng Shaoting. However, Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai were also in the car, so she felt shy to express her feelings in front of them.
Leng Shaoting didn't force her to say what he wanted to hear but directly told her, "I miss you. I miss you so much."
"I'll be flying to the capital tomorrow to deal with something," Gu Ning said.
"I'll pick you up at the airport then," Leng Shaoting said excitedly.
"Great!" Gu Ning replied.
They chatted for a while longer before hanging up. Leng Shaoting understood that it wasn't convenient for Gu Ning to answer his call now, so he decided not to bother her.
"Ha, it must be your boyfriend! You look so in love!" Cao Wenxin said.
"Yes," Gu Ning said.
"No way! How old are you?" Tang Jiakai couldn't believe that Gu Ning already had a boyfriend at such
a young age.
"Gee, you already have a boyfriend at 18. Now I feel pathetic that I'm still single at 23," Cao Wenxin said.
"Ningning, doesn't your relationship affect your studying?" Tang Jiakai asked with concern.
"Nope," Gu Ning said.
"Can it last? You're so young after all?" Cao Wenxin asked with worry. She was worried that Gu Ning would be cheated on or get hurt.
"Well, you probably won't believe me if I said yes, but I think that he's my Mr. Right, and he has the same idea. However, if he dares to cheat on me one day, I'll destroy him in person," Gu Ning said easily but Tang Jiakai and Cao Wenxin were scared. Gu Ning was so good at kung fu. If the man really betrayed her, how would she destroy him?
Actually, Gu Ning couldn't defeat Leng Shaoting in a fight yet, but her advantage was her magic power. No matter how badly she was injured, she could cure herself with her power. Although she could still die, she was confident that she could beat Leng Shaoting down before her power was completely consumed.
Meanwhile, she definitely didn't want it to happen, but she hated betrayal the most. It wasn't easy for her to trust Leng Shaoting during this lifetime. So if Leng Shaoting dared to betray her, she was sure that she would really destroy him.
"Ningning, you're so awesome, and your boyfriend couldn't be simple, right? What does he do?" Cao Wenxin asked.
"He's awesome too, and he's a military officer," Gu Ning said.
"Oh, military officer!" Cao Wenxin's eyes lit up at once. She had admired military officers ever since she was a kid, and she also wanted to join the army. Unfortunately, her family disagreed.
Cao Wenxin wanted to ask the title of Gu Ning's boyfriend, but she didn't say it because she thought that it wasn't polite.
Before long, they arrived at the Earth Nightclub.
The Earth Nightclub wasn't only large, but was also decorated luxuriously. The boxing was on the underground floor, the reception hall was on the first floor, karaoke bar was on the second and third floors, the game room was on the third and fourth floors, and the casino was on the fourth and fifth floors. There were also other types of entertainment on the floors above.
They directly walked to the game room.
On the second floor, there were various kinds of game machines, like arcade games and so forth, which amazed Gu Ning.
It was also super crowded and everyone was arguing or speaking loudly. People who came here for the first time would probably think that it was too noisy.
Chapter 426 Win A Fortune
Cao Wenxin guided Gu Ning and Tang Jiakai to a slot machine. They exchanged chips with money before they started to play. Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai were just playing for fun. They weren't seriously gambling, so each of them got chips for ten thousand yuan and they also exchanged some for Gu Ning. Gu Ning didn't hesitate and took the chips.
Although slot machines were just a way of gambling with change, a person who was lucky or good at playing it could win hundreds of thousands or even a million yuan. However, it wasn't easy to do so.
"Ningning, do you know how to play?" Cao Wenxin asked.
"Not really. I'll watch you playing first," Gu Ning said.
After that, they came to a slot machine. Cao Wenxin put the chips in and explained, "Single-line betting is 100 chips. You can buy up to 10 lines, which is 1000 chips. If you want a bigger chance, you can bet 1000 chips and buy the line."
There were 10 reels on the screen, and pictures of 10 different odds on each reel, namely 100 times, 200 times, 300 times, 400 times, 500 times, 600 times, 700 times, 800 times, 900 times, and 1000 times. If the pictures of the same odds all lined up at the same time on the screen, the prize pool would be fully opened. No matter how much money was in it, the machine would spit it all out. The prize pool had at least a hundred million yuan, but this chance was completely negligible. No one had ever succeeded before.
When the game began, 10 reels would randomly spin. The gamer could then press the button to stop it to see whether three pictures of the same odds could line up along a row. The player's minimum bet was a line. If three pictures of the same odds lined up along the first row, the player could get the money according to the odds.
However, if the player only bought one line, even if there were other pictures of the same odds lined up in other rows, the player still could only get the money for the single line.
Cao Wenxin bet on 10 lines at the same time, but all failed and wasted 1000 chips.
While Cao Wenxin was playing the slot machine, Gu Ning was carefully observing the way the machine worked, and figured out all its secrets.
"Let me try!" Gu Ning said.
Gu Ning also bet on all 10 lines. When the chips were in the machine, the game was ready to begin. Gu Ning pulled the spin lever, and the slot machine started with in a loud noise, while all the 10 reels moved fast at the same time.
With her Jade Eyes, Gu Ning was able to calculate when the pictures of different odds would fall on a certain position. When it was time, Gu Ning quickly press the stop button. The slot machine stopped with a sound like someone just slammed on the brakes. And the 10 reels gradually stopped one by one from left to right.
The three of them fixed their eyes on the pictures on the screen.
The first, second, third line all failed, but the pictures of 300 times odds lined up along the fourth reel, which meant that Gu Ning won thirty thousand yuan with this line. The fifth line failed too, but pictures of 100 times and 600 times lined up along the sixth line and ninth line. After this round, Gu Ning won a hundred thousand yuan when she only bet a thousand yuan.
Chips were continuously spun out from the slot machine, which immediately attracted a lot of attention from players around them. They all looked at Gu Ning with envy and jealousy.
"Jesus! Ningning, you're so awesome!" Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai were both quite surprised because they had never won before. Gu Ning, on the other hand, wasn't very satisfied with the result, because she had only won three lines. Undoubtedly, she was ambitious to win all the lines.
"Let's try again, and see whether we can win all of them!" Cao Wenxin said with anticipation, even though she didn't believe that it was possible, because it was even harder than winning the lottery. However, it was much easier than winning the lottery in Gu Ning's eyes. As long as she had sharp eyes and agile hands, it was highly possible for her to win.
The second time, Gu Ning still bet on all the lines and seized the best timing to press the stop button.
The pictures of 200 times, 400 times, 500 times, 800 times, and 900 times all lined up in the end, and Gu Ning won two hundred and eighty thousand yuan.
People around her started to discuss her unbelievable luck.
"No way! How can she be so lucky?"
"I've played the slot machine thousands of times, but I only won a 100 times once!"
Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai almost jumped up in excitement. "Ningning! It's so incredible! I admire you so much right now!" Gu Ning, however, still wasn't satisfied. At this time, more and more people gather around them, because it was very rare to see someone win so much money by playing the slot machines.
During the third round, Gu Ning finally won all the lines and the prize pool was fully opened. Tons of chips were spun out within minutes.
Everyone was shocked and couldn't believe his or her eyes.
"Don't stand still. Move and collect the chips!" Gu Ning said to Tang Jiakai and Cao Wenxin. She wasn't able to collect all the chips by herself.
Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai didn't get their mind back until Gu Ning reminded them to move. Seeing the large pile of chips, Cao Wenxin screamed all of a sudden, "Ah! Is-is-is it real?"
Her scream attracted more people in the game room.
Tang Jiakai pinched at Cao Wenxin's arm, and Cao Wenxin shouted in pain. "What are you doing!"
Tang Jiakai seemed innocent. "You can feel the pain, so it's real."
"Oh! It's real! It's damn real!" Cao Wenxin jumped in happiness. "Come on! Help me collect all the chips!" Gu Ning lost her patience.
"Alright-alright." Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai helped Gu Ning collect the chips at once.
Gu Ning understood that she should stop right now, because this place was controlled by a gang, and it wasn't a good idea if she kept winning money.
When they took all the chips to the counter for money, the worker was stunned. He had never seen anyone be so unbelievably lucky and win so much money.
The chips were 136.27 million yuan in total. Gu Ning transferred thirty million yuan to each of Cao Wenxin's and Tang Jiakai's bank account, while Gu Ning took the rest.
Gu Ning won the money by herself, so Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai declined to share with her in the beginning. However, Gu Ning persuaded them to take it, so they accepted in the end.
In fact, although the Tang family and the Cao family were both crazily rich, Cao Winxin and Tang Jiakai didn't have much allowance. Therefore, thirty million yuan was a fortune for them.
Chapter 427 Get in Trouble
They didn't stay in the game room for long, and it was just 9:30 pm when they left. Gu Ning proposed to have some fun in the casino since it was still half an hour before the boxing match began.
Since Gu Ning wanted to go there, the other two wouldn't disagree.
When they walked into the casino, Gu Ning went to exchange ten thousand chips first, then went to the Sic bo[1] table.
The banker was shaking the dice cup, saying something like "hands off the table once you place your bet".
There were many types of Sic bo, basically "Big", "Small", "Alls", "Odd" and "Triples".
As for the betting odds, "Big" and "Small" were 1-1, while "Alls" were 1-24. "Odd" could be 1-1, 1-2 or 1-3, according to how many numbers on all three dice the player correctly bet on. "Triples" meant that a specific number would appear on all three dice, and the odds were 1-150.
When the dice cup fell on the table, Gu Ning didn't place her bet until she used her Jade Eyes to see the numbers on the three dice.
Gu Ning bet on "Odd" with all the ten thousand chips, and she won the bet. The odds were 1-3, so she won thirty thousand yuan.
Everyone looked at Gu Ning with surprise, because she was so lucky!
The second time, Gu Ning also bet ten thousand on "Big", and the odds were 1-1. The third time, Gu Ning deliberately lost the bet. The fourth time, Gu Ning bet forty thousand yuan on "Odd" again and won a hundred and twenty thousand yuan. The fifth time, Gu Ning lost the bet on purpose once more. She only lost ten thousand yuan. The sixth time she bet twenty thousand yuan on "Triples" and the numbers she bet on were three sixes.
Once the result was uncovered, there were precisely three sixes on it. People around the table were all astonished. The odds were 1-150 so Gu Ning made three million yuan!
Let alone people around the table, even the banker was quite amazed. He wondered whether Gu Ning was just lucky, or if she was actually cheating. Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai almost screamed in excitement. They were excited not because Gu Ning was continuously winning a lot of money, but because of Gu Ning's unusual luck.
Gu Ning kept betting, and many people started to follow her. However, Gu Ning intentionally lost the following two rounds, and those who tried to follow Gu Ning and make a fortune unexpectedly lost.
"What the hell? Are you doing this on purpose?"
"Exactly! When we didn't follow you, you won. Once we followed you, you lost. What do you mean by this!" Some were swearing.
Gu Ning was displeased and coldly looked to them. "It's none of your business how I bet. I didn't tell you to follow me."
They were scared by Gu Ning's terrifying look. To their astonishment, this young girl's look was so sharp. And it was still unknown to them whether Gu Ning was losing the bet on purpose.
After that, a new round began. This time, Gu Ning told Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai to follow her. There were many people in this casino, and few knew that the three of them were a group.
Meanwhile, those who had followed Gu Ning gave up this round, because they weren't sure whether it was a loss again. However, Gu Ning won the bet. It was "Triples".
Each of the members in Gu Ning's group bet twenty thousand yuan, and won three million yuan.
Everyone started to discuss the result again, but none of them could blame Gu Ning, because it was their own decision not to follow her.
At the same time, in a lounge on the top floor of the Earth Nightclub, a man who was around 30-years-old was lazily lying on the sofa with his legs crossed. The tight, black pants accentuated his long, strong legs, and he only fastened two buttons of his shirt. The man was handsome with beautiful features and looked flashy.
At this moment, the manager of the casino was standing in front of him reporting what had just happened downstairs. The man pulled the corner of his lips and smiled a little, but the manager felt as if he was being threatened.
Gu Ning and the others won around thirty million yuan in total before they stopped, because none of them wanted to annoy the Kirin Gang.
Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai agreed with Gu Ning that it was better to leave after they had won so much. However, what they didn't know was that they were already in trouble. Right when they walked to the counter and asked to exchange the money, the manager of this casino stopped them. "Miss, our boss invites you to have a round of gambling with him."
"Your boss?" Gu Ning raised her eyebrow. Unexpectedly, they had already attracted the attention of the Kirin Gang, but she didn't know whether the boss was the one who ran this entertainment place in public, or the real boss from the Kirin Gang. Is it possible that the head of the Kirin Gang will show up? Gu Ning thought to herself.
"Ningning." Both Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai were worried, but they weren't afraid, because the Cao family and the Tang family were the top influential families in City B. The Kirin Gang should know how to handle it, but what if an accident happened?
"What if I say no?" Gu Ning asked.
"Without our boss's permission, you can't exchange the money with these chips." The manager threatened.
Hearing that, Gu Ning was displeased and said acidly, "I don't care. It's merely thirty million yuan. Since your boss can't afford the loss, why did he open this casino? Just take the thirty million yuan as a tip I give him."
Gu Ning wasn't scared at all, but obviously they had nothing good planned, and Gu Ning was concerned that Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai might get involved in trouble.
"What?" The manager was shocked. To his astonishment, Gu Ning would casually dump the thirty million yuan. However, no matter what, Gu Ning had to go upstairs to meet his boss. Otherwise, he would be punished. Therefore, he threatened again. "Miss, if you refuse to meet my boss, I'm afraid that you won't be walking out of the doors of the Earth Nightclub!"
"You…" Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai were mad. They wanted to argue with the manager or show him their real identity, but was stopped by Gu Ning.
"Very well. You have successfully aggravated me. I will meet your boss. And you… I'll come to you later." Gu Ning put on an evil smile, and sharply looked at the manager. The manager was frightened. He had no idea that Gu Ning would be so powerful at such a young age. It seemed that he had annoyed someone he shouldn't have. However, no matter how unkind she was could she be more violent than the Kirin Gang? Thus, although the manager felt threatened by Gu Ning's look he didn't take her seriously.
"Follow me. Don't say, or do anything. Trust me. We'll leave here safely," Gu Ning said to Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai. She didn't let them leave before her because she was worried that the Kirin Gang would capture them even if they weren't in the Earth Nightclub anymore. In that case, it was better if they remained by her side.
[1] Sic bo, also known as tai sai, dai siu, big and small or hi-lo, is an unequal game of chance that originated in ancient Chinese played with three dice.
Chapter 428 The Head of the Kirin Gang, Qi Tianlin
"Sure." Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai nodded. They trusted Gu Ning. And even if Gu Ning couldn't handle it alone, they would still be safe as long as they uncovered their family background.
The manager guided the three of them up to the seventh floor. Standing outside of a luxurious private room were two tall, muscular security guards. Once they appeared, a bodyguard opened the door.
Before they walked inside, Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to check the situation in the private room. There were three men in it. One of them was lazily sitting in a chair in front of a gambling table. He was very handsome but looked obtrusive and aggressive. Gu Ning recognized him at once. He was the head of the Kirin Gang, Qi Tianlin. Surprisingly, she did meet him in person. Standing at both of his sides were two men. Obviously, the two men followed his lead.
The head of a gang was always mysterious and never went out in public. Except for their own men, few people could meet him. The reason why Gu Ning knew Qi Tianlin was because she had a conflict with him in her previous incarnation and had almost been killed by him.
Qi Tianlin was arrogant and cruel. In order to achieve his aim, he would do anything, literally anything. Compared with Situ Ye, he was even scarier. No matter who annoyed him, he would torture the person to death. However, he also had a changeable personality. And sometimes his actions were a complete surprise.
Like when she had almost been killed by him in her previous incarnation. He had let her go in the end, had even saved her life, just because she had been the first one who had dared to challenge him by risking their life. In addition, he wasn't an executioner, and wouldn't kill people randomly because he preferred to torture them.
Qi Tianlin also cared about the existence of Kirin Gang, and wasn't willing to annoy those who were extremely powerful and able to threaten his Kirin Gang, in public. However, in private, nobody knew what he would do.
If Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai told him their family background, Qi Tianlin probably wouldn't cause them trouble. However, Gu Ning wasn't willing to do so. Although Qi Tianlin would let them go if he found out that they were from the Cao family and the Tang family, no one knew whether he would secretly hurt the Cao family or the Tang family. Thus, Gu Ning decided to handle it on her own. Money wasn't a big deal, so they would be safe.
Once they walked in, Gu Ning's eyes met his. He looked dangerous, but Gu Ning didn't hesitate to meet his eyes.
Qi Tianlin was surprised that Gu Ning dared to meet his eyes, but he wasn't sure whether she was just too dumb or brave. With that thought in his mind, he kept staring straight at her and his look was getting colder. However, Gu Ning wasn't afraid of it at all.
Their eyes met in the air for a couple of minutes. During that time, people around them felt great pressure and almost couldn't breathe, while Qi Tianlin and Gu Ning seemed fine.
In fact, Qi Tianlin was slightly stressed too, because Gu Ning put her magic power into her gaze and made it icier, which amazed as well as threatened him. How is it possible? Qi Tianlin was confused and annoyed. He felt upset at being beaten by a young girl's gaze, but he couldn't deny that he had felt stressed under her look.
Qi Tianlin immediately realized that this young girl in front of his eyes wasn't simple! However, it aroused his intense interest towards her. Moreover, he even thought that this young girl's look was familiar with the first woman he was interested in. Unfortunately, she was already dead. Otherwise, he would love to spend some time with her.
"Great!" Qi Tianlin suddenly opened his mouth and broke the ice between them. "You're really great."
"You too," Gu Ning replied calmly.
In reality, he wasn't complimenting her skills of gambling, but her outstanding psychological quality.
Although Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai didn't know that this man was the head of the Kirin Gang, since he was the boss of the Earth Nightclub, he had to be at least one of the senior management of the Kirin Gang.
"Leave now!" Qi Tianlin said to the manager.
"Yes, sir," the manager said and left.
After that, Qi Tianlin turned to Gu Ning. "Let's have a round!" He sounded very domineering.
Since Gu Ning was already here, she naturally wouldn't reject. She directly stepped to the gambling table and sat across Qi Tianlin. "What are we going to play?"
"Dice. Let's guess the numbers, and it's a rubber game[1]," Qi Tianlin said.
There was a faint smile on Gu Ning's lips. "What's the bet?"
Qi Tianlin asked, "What do you want to bet?"
"Either three billion yuan, or 30% shares of the Earth Nightclub," Gu Ning said. If she wasn't going to leave here with a fortune, she wouldn't be Gu Ning.
"What?" Everyone was shocked.
"Don't you dare talk to our boss like that! Do you know who he…" a man beside Qi Tianlin said. However, before he could finish, Gu Ning directly interrupted him, "I don't care who he is. I'm here to gamble. If you can't afford the result, then don't do
it."
"You…" The man wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qi Tianlin's hand gesture.
Qi Tianlin squinted at Gu Ning. He wasn't mad, but was quite interested in this young girl. "Why are you so confident that you'll win?"
"Even if I lose, it's just three billion yuan. I can afford it," Gu Ning said. However, she was confident that she couldn't lose.
Qi Tianlin was irritated, because Gu Ning apparently said it on purpose. Since she could afford the result, it would be shameful if he couldn't as the head of the Kirin Gang, but it was still too early to tell the result!
"No problem. Three billion yuan," Qi Tianlin said. "Who will stack the dice cup first?"
"We don't need to rush. Let's write down an agreement first." Gu Ning didn't believe him.
"How dare you doubt our boss!" The man who just had snapped at Gu Ning angrily criticized her again.
Gu Ning wasn't mad, but looked straight to him and deliberately said, "Your boss didn't say anything yet. Why are you shouting all the time? Do you think that you are the real boss here?"
"Bullshit!" The man was furious.
"Enough." Qi Tianlin stopped him. He stared at Gu Ning and teased, "Young girl, you're really good at stirring up trouble here! However, they've been with me in so many dangerous situations over the years. It's impossible for an outsider like you to alienate them from me."
[1] A rubber game is a tie-breaking game.
Chapter 429 Couldn't Bear the Result?
Gu Ning shrugged. "That's your own business, but we still need to write down an agreement."
"Even if we write down the agreement, what can you do to me if I regret afterwards?" Qi Tianlin said airily. In his eyes, there was no need to write down an agreement at all.
"Do you mean that you'll regret if you lose?" Gu Ning asked.
"What if I want to?" Qi Tianlin asked.
"I don't care. Nobody can steal my belongings from me." Gu Ning actually didn't care about what Qi Tianlin would do, because she was confident to get what she wanted. "Let's begin!"
After that, the two started to stack the dice cup.
Qi Tianlin and Gu Ning were at ease, and the men who worked for Qi Tianlin believed in their boss, but Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai were so nervous that their palms were wet with sweat. The two kept hoping that Gu Ning would win.
After a short while, both of them placed their dice cups on the table at the same time.
"After you," Qi Tianlin said.
Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes and saw the numbers in his dice cup. "12."
Qi Tianlin's pupils were slightly dilated. Although he wasn't sure whether the numbers added up to 12 or not, it was very possible.
Qi Tianlin opened the dice cup. It indeed was 12, and now he was in a dangerous position.
Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai almost shouted in excitement. They all hoped that Qi Tianlin would fail.
"17," Qi Tianlin said.
Gu Ning smiled gently and opened her dice cup. Unfortunately, there were three sixes inside, which added up to 18.
"You lose," Gu Ning said, but she didn't show any pride, as if she already knew the result. Then she took out a piece of paper with her bank account written on it, and threw it at Qi Tianlin. "Transfer the money to me now."
Qi Tianlin gave it a glance, then turned to Gu Ning. "What if I refuse to do so? This is my place, so what can you do to me?" He was going to deny the result.
Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai both changed their expressions all of a sudden, because the man indeed regretted. Cao Wenxin wanted to argue with him. However, thinking of what Gu Ning had reminded them, she remained silent.
Gu Ning silently stared at him with a faint smile on her lips. She looked charming, but also dangerous.
"Are you sure?" Gu Ning asked in a flat voice, but she was planning in her heart for the following storm.
Actually, Qi Tianlin could afford the result, but he just had a burning curiosity about Gu Ning and wanted to see her reaction. Hearing what Gu Ning said, he knew that she was going to take action, which aroused his anticipation.
"Very well. I hope you won't regret," Gu Ning said coldly, then stood up saying to Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai, "Let's go."
Gu Ning didn't do anything, which disappointed Qi Tianlin. "Did I allow you to leave?"
The moment Qi Tianlin finished his sentence, the two security guards instantly walked over and blocked their way, aiming guns at them.
And now, Gu Ning was furious. In fact, she was simply worried about Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai's safety, so she planned to take them away before she came back to Qi Tianlin. Unexpectedly, Qi Tianlin wouldn't let them leave.
Without hesitation, Gu Ning attacked the two security guards before her. With several quick movements, she broke their wrists and dislocated their arms, and the guns fell into her hands.
Afterwards, Gu Ning kicked the two security guards once again. She used her power, and the two security guards were directly kicked away in opposite directions. They could barely stand up in a short time.
To Qi Tianlin's astonishment, Gu Ning was so good at fighting. And exactly because of shock, he was struck dumb for a few seconds. During that time, Gu Ning seized the chance and gave the two handguns she grabbed from the two security guards to Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai. They had both served in the army, so it was pretty easy for them to use a gun.
Qi Tianlin was in a rage, and he immediately took out a gun from his waist, aiming at Gu Ning. Meanwhile, Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai both aimed their guns at Qi Tianlin too.
Qi Tianlin snorted with a cold laughter. "This is my place. Do you really think that you can escape?"
He didn't believe that they could leave here safely, but he had to admit that Gu Ning was far more interesting than he had thought. She was so surprisingly agile that his security guards were beaten down before they could even react. If they couldn't beat a young girl in a fight, they must be useless, and it was time for him to change security guards.
"Let's see!" Gu Ning was also confident and mocked, "I didn't expect that the head of the Kirin Gang is a man who can't bear the result of his own decision. Since you can't afford it, then don't gamble. Even I feel ashamed for you."
Hearing that, Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai were surprised. What? The head of the Kirin Gang? Qi Tianlin?And Gu Ning dares to swear at Qi Tianlin face to face?
Qi Tianlin squinted and looked like a hungry wolf. He was surprised that Gu Ning knew him, and was also mad that she dared to humiliate him. Gu Ning said that even she felt ashamed for him. Fine! He did lose, but he also chose to deliberately not pay the bill to see her reaction. However, it was still reasonable that Gu Ning despised him for his behavior.
Gu Ning knew who he was and dared to humiliate him, which was a challenge to his authority, so he was quite displeased. "Since you know who I am, you should know that nobody can change my mind."
"Nobody can change your mind? Me either. No one can stop me from doing whatever I want," Gu Ning retorted. "So, if you don't want to die, let us leave, and transfer the three billion yuan to my account." Since they were already in trouble, she wouldn't yield!
Qi Tianlin raised his eyebrow. "Are you threatening me? Do you know that whoever threatens me won't have a good ending, including women?" Indeed, he never bothered to cherish a beauty.
"Aren't you threatening me now as well?" Gu Ning ridiculed.
Qi Tianlin didn't expect that Gu Ning would give him the same answer. "You're persuasive." Nevertheless, Gu Ning threatened him, which he held zero tolerance for. "You injured my men's arms and you also want my money? Do you think that I'll agree?"
"It was your men who aimed their guns at me first. It's already a mercy that I just dislocated their arms and unarmed them," Gu Ning said calmly.
"And now your friends are aiming at me. What should I do to them?" Qi Tianlin squinted again with danger in his eyes.
Chapter 430 Three Billion Yuan in Pocket
"You aimed the guns at me first!" Gu Ning retorted.
Qi Tianlin was struck dumb for a second again. This young girl indeed was eloquent, and she hit the point. Qi Tianlin smiled and enjoyed the conflict with Gu Ning. "Lady, you arouse my interest in you."
"There are countless men who are interested in me!" Gu Ning said.
"You're right. A girl like you can easily arouse others' interest." Qi Tianlin didn't deny it, but suddenly changed his tone. "However, there is nothing I can't have as long as I want it, including a woman." Saying that, Qi Tianlin fixed his eyes on Gu Ning. In other words, as long as he wanted her one day, he would do whatever he could to get her.
Gu Ning knew Qi Tianlin's character to some extent, so she didn't doubt his words at all. However, it was also impossible that he would have her. "Let's see! However, now you should give me the money!"
"Well, it's just three billion yuan. I can afford it." Qi Tianlin put his gun down and directly made a call to transfer the money to Gu Ning's bank account.
Gu Ning gave Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai a glance to place the guns down too. Then she walked to the two security guards. She was going to cure their injuries. The two security guards were terrified seeing Gu Ning walking towards them, given what had just happened to them.
Gu Ning moved their wrists and arms back to their normal positions and took out two bottles of power crystal. "Here, take the medicine, and you'll be fine."
The two security guards apparently didn't believe her, so neither of them accepted it.
"Take it or not." Gu Ning wouldn't force them to do so, because her medicine wasn't cheap!
Qi Tianlin had just hung up the call. Hearing what Gu Ning said, he asked, "Really? Is your medicine that effective?"
"You can try it if you want to know," Gu Ning said.
"Yu Hao, try it," Qi Tianlin said. He was curious to see whether the medicine was as effective as Gu Ning claimed. And he also knew that Gu Ning wouldn't hurt his men right in front of him, so he had no worries to let Yu Hao take the medicine. If Yu Hao was in danger after taking the medicine, he wouldn't let Gu Ning get away with it. Since their boss gave the order, Yu Hao had take the medicine even if it was poisonous. Therefore, Yu Hao directly poured the medicine into his mouth.
The pill melted once it was in his mouth. It didn't taste bitter, but cold. Gradually, a flow of cold air spread through his body and his pain was relieved within 10 seconds.
Yu Hao rounded his eyes in shock and said, "I don't feel any pain now!"
"Really?" It was unbelievable in Qi Tianlin's eyes.
The other security guard looked at Gu Ning. He wanted the medicine too now.
Gu Ning didn't care about their attitudes just then, and directly threw the bottle at him.
"Aren't they the best examples? However, this medicine isn't cheap at all! If I hadn't won so much money, I wouldn't have given them the medicine." Gu Ning understood that once Qi Tianlin saw the effect of her medicine, he would definitely want it. And she, of course, told him for a reason. She wouldn't refuse to make a deal with Qi Tianlin, but the amount she would sell was limited.
"This medicine has a great effect, and can cure most diseases. If the disease or injury isn't severe, a pill is enough. However, the medicine is too expensive to cure such minor injuries. If it's a serious disease, more pills are needed. For instance, it's dangerous to remove a bullet if one is shot, and this pill can relieve pain as well as stop the wound from bleeding. In addition, the medicine can also improve one's health condition."
Gu Ning wasn't bragging, but was telling the truth. However, in common people's eyes, it was already exaggerated enough. They believed that the medicine could cure common diseases, but doubted whether it could cure serious or rare diseases.
With today's advanced medicine, it was still hard to completely cure serious diseases, but Gu Ning was confident to cure them with just a few pills. It indeed was hard to believe. However, since her medicine was able to cure their injuries within seconds, the medicine had to be very effective. Even if it wasn't as useful as Gu Ning said, it would still be of help. Gangsters were often injured, so they naturally needed good medicine.
"How many do you have? I want all of them," Qi Tianlin said. He was really greedy.
"The medicine is quite precious, so I don't have many myself. I can only give you 10 pills for now. I have to keep some for myself. If I have more in the future, we can make a deal again then," Gu Ning said.
Although she was extremely reluctant to be in touch with Qi Tianlin, who was evil and arrogant, since they had already interacted, it was better for her to maintain a good, instead of bad, relationship with him.
"No problem. How much is it?" Qi Tianlin asked. Although he would do anything to get whatever he wanted, he was also a businessman who knew what was best for him.
"A million yuan a pill," Gu Ning said. She thought that five million yuan was too high, so she changed the price to a million.
"Great. 10 pills add up to ten million yuan. I'll transfer the money to you right now." A million yuan was a sky-high price for medicine, but it was nothing for Qi Tianlin. He already lost three billion yuan after just one round of gambling, so he wouldn't mind another ten million yuan. After all, the medicine was indeed useful.
Gu Ning took out 10 small porcelain bottles from her backpack, or her telepathic eye space, and put them on the gambling table. After a while, she received a new message saying that the money was already in her bank account. Gu Ning and the others left soon afterward.
Seeing Gu Ning disappearing from his sight, Qi Tianlin smiled a little. He was increasingly interested in Gu Ning now, and he thought that she was a very interesting kitten.
"Investigate their identities as soon as possible," Qi Tianlin ordered.
"Yes, boss," Yu Hao answered before walking out. He wouldn't do it in person but delivered Qi Tianlin's order.
