Chapter 121: Rescue People

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Of course!" Gu Ning said. She then invited them to have a seat, "Please be seated!"

Zhou Zhenghong greeted them with great respect, "It's so nice to meet you, Master Bai, Master Yan and Master Fu."

The order Zhou Zhenghong greeted them was opposite of Gu Ning's, because Master Bai was the highest in rank among them. Gu Ning didn't know that. She only greeted them according to familiarity.

It was beyond Zhou Zhenghong's imagination that Gu Ning knew such influential men, especially Master Bai.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Zhou." Master Fu and Master Yan knew Zhou Zhenghong, but they weren't familiar with him. Although they were curious about the relationship between Gu Ning and Zhou Zhenghong, they didn't ask, since it had nothing to do with them.

Zhou Zhenghong was thrilled to meet Master Yan and Master Fu.

"Are you really the woman we met yesterday?" Master Bai looked at Gu Ning. He was too surprised to believe it. Master Bai had known it already, but wanted to make sure himself, because Gu Ning today was so different from yesterday.

"Yes! Otherwise I wouldn't know that you're Master Bai," Gu Ning said with a smile on her face.

"Ha-ha, ha-ha, you're right. You're really great to be so able at such a young age!" Master Bai complimented her plainly.

"Thank you so much," Gu Ning replied.

"Please don't blame me for coming without an invitation," Master Bai said.

"Of course not! It is my pleasure to have you here," Gu Ning answered. Although she didn't know Master Bai's background, she knew that he must be very influential.

"Girl Gu, do be careful! Master Bai is here for a purpose," Master Fu said like something bad was going to happen. Hearing that, Master Bai was irritated. "Master Fu, mind your words! Don't damage my reputation."

"Then what are you doing here?" Master Fu said with provocation in his eyes.

"I'm here for Girl Gu. I want to make a friend with her. You can be her friends so I can too!" Master Bai argued.

Gu Ning couldn't help but snort with laughter. She thought they were all lovely like adorable children, but it was time to order, so she interrupted them, "Alright, let's order first."

They all knew that Gu Ning didn't lack money, so they didn't hesitate to order their favorites, but the dishes were all simple and good for health. They weren't expensive either.

"Girl Gu, what do you want Master Fu to help you with?" Master Yan asked.

"Oh, I'm going to open a jewelry company, and I need to settle the registration and some documents first. I think it'll be quicker if someone with power can help me in today's society. Thus I hoped that grandpa Fu could help me," Gu Ning said. She didn't want to hide, because she needed their help too in the future.

"What? You're going to open a jewelry company?" Both Master Yan and Master Bai were astonished and admired her as well. She planned to run a start-up herself at such a young age. She was indeed ambitious and determined!

"However, since I'm a student now, I can't deal with everything myself. Thus I hired Uncle Zhou to help me, and I'll be the boss behind the scene," Gu Ning added.

Those masters all knew Zhou Zhenghong. Although they weren't familiar with him, they had heard that he was able to do that. As for the reason why Zhoufu Jewelry suddenly had a different owner half a year ago, they also guessed correctly that it was because of Shao Ping.

They didn't know the relationship between Gu Ning and Zhou Zhenghong, and they had no intention to ask, but since Gu Ning let Zhou Zhenghong be in charge of the company, she must trust him very much. This meant that they had to be close, so they didn't need to ask further.

However, if they had known that Gu Ning had only Zhou Zhenghong for a short time, they would have been shocked. Not everyone could trust another person within a short time.

"My store will be opening soon. Please come to attend my opening ceremony. It will be of great help if you are all willing to come," Gu Ning invited them.

"Sure, we will," they answered without hesitation.

During the meal, the atmosphere was so harmonious that others would mistake them as a family! Other than Zhou Zhenghong; who was a little nervous.

Master Bai and other seniors were very influential after all. Zhou Zhenghong felt slightly uneasy in front of them.

Master Fu would help them to inform the leader of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, but Zhou Zhenghong himself still needed to settle the documents. However, with Master Fu's help, it would be quick and smooth. After that, Zhou Zhenghong only needed to invite them to a meal, and send them gifts. With Master Fu's influence, Zhou Zhenghong could skip those things. However, he needed to build his network, so he still had to do those things.

After the meal, everyone was ready to leave.

The minute they left the restaurant, Master Yan said, "Girl Gu, please wait for a second. Let me introduce a man to you."

Gu Ning felt puzzled. Meanwhile, Master Bai opened his mouth. "Oh, your son is here as well!"

Hearing that, Gu Ning looked over. She saw several middle-aged men talking ahead on the road, but at the same time, Gu Ning squinted suddenly with a coldness in her eyes.

A red spot was moving on a middle-aged man's face among them. In the end, it stopped at the center of the man's eyebrows. Without delay, Gu Ning dashed forwards.

"Hey!"

Master Bai and others were surprised by Gu Ning's sudden move. What was wrong? However, before they realized what was going on, the accident happened.

The middle-aged man was hit heavily by Gu Ning and fell down to one side. The next second, the bullet, which was supposed to hit the man, missed him and hit a car behind him.

The sniper rifle had a silencer, so it didn't make a sound at all except for the sound when the bullet hit the car.

Normally the killer would retreat once he missed the first shot, but Gu Ning still looked in the direction of the bullet in case the killer tried a second time.

With her Jade Eyes, she was able to locate the killer accurately at once. The killer was actually ready to leave, but he was frightened by a sudden cold look.

Although he couldn't see Gu Ning's face clearly, he could judge that it must be a young girl. He was surprised that the young girl was able to discover him. She was also physically strong and mentally acute with a sharp look.

There was no more time for him. The killer left right away.

Chapter 122: Meet Chu Xuanfeng

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Everyone was shocked, but when they found out the hole in the nearby car, they understood what had just happened.

"Mayor!"

Two men immediately went to help the middle-aged man who was knocked down by Gu Ning.

Mayor? Gu Ning was struck dumb. This man is the mayor?

"Zhenglin!"

Master Yan's face turned pale from fear. He almost fainted. Luckily, Zhou Zhenghong supported him. Then he quickly walked over.

Yan Zhenglin felt hurt heavily all over his body. He looked embarrassed too with dust all over his clothes, but despite all of that, he calmed himself down and said, "I'm fine."

Although Yan Zhenglin was still confused, he knew that it was Gu Ning who had save his life by knocking him away. He thanked her at once, "Thank you so much! If it hadn't been for you, I would have been dead already."

Before Gu Ning could say a word, Master Yan seized her hands trembling and crying. "Girl Gu, thank you so much! You've saved my son's life. Otherwise…"

Oh, the mayor was Master Yan's son!

He must be the person that Master Yan planned to introduce to her.

"Grandpa Yan, Mayor Yan, it's no big deal. It happened too fast, so I did it without second thought. Please forgive my rude behavior," Gu Ning said. Her attitude received appreciation from others.

Yan Zhenglin then knew that Master Yan must know Gu Ning.

"Ha-ha, very well. You can remain modest while staying polite. I admire you for that!" Yan Zhenglin said and laughed happily. He didn't put on airs at all, even though he was an important official.

"However, you've rescued my life. I'll bear your kindness in mind. This is my name card. If you have any trouble you can't deal with in the future, please feel free to call me. However, let's be candid here, if you do anything immoral or illegal, I won't help you," Yan Zhenglin said seriously. He took out a name card handing it to Gu Ning.

"Thank you so much." Gu Ning accepted the name card.

"Master Yan, I think that there is no need for you to introduce them to each other. If you hadn't had Girl Gu here, probably…" Master Bai said. He was still shocked by the horror.

Hearing that, Yan Zhenglin figured out what was going on. His father planned to introduce him to this young girl, so that he could help her, but unexpectedly, she had saved his life.

No one knew what was going to happen the next second!

"Boss, are you alright?" Zhou Zhenghong asked Gu Ning worriedly.

"Oh, Girl Gu, are you alright?"

The rest suddenly realized they hadn't checked Gu Ning's safety yet, which was totally impolite.

"I'm fine. You don't need to worry," Gu Ning answered.

"Great to hear that," Master Fu and others said, finally feeling relieved. Although they were all shocked and confused about why she was able to discover the sniper, they didn't ask.

After that, they said good-bye to each other.

When Gu Ning and Zhou Zhenghong were gone, Yan Zhenglin looked extremely displeased. "Lao Li, go and investigate what just happened. I want to know who was behind it."

"Yes, sir," Lao Li, the middle-aged man who stood by Yan Zhenglin in a suit, answered with respect. He was the director of the Public Security Bureau in City G, Li Feng.

Li Feng was Yan Zhenglin's fellow. If Yan Zhenglin was in danger, he wouldn't be safe either.

They didn't know who was behind it yet, but they both knew clearly what was going on. It was right at the key point of the shift of officials, and no one had goods on Yan Zhenglin. It had to be his rivals in the politics.

Otherwise, it could also be Yan Zhenglin's enemies, those who had been removed by Yan Zhenglin from their offices because of their serious illegal deeds.

Yan Zhenglin then made arrangement for those elderly men to leave before he went back to the government.

In a restaurant near the window on the second floor, Situ Ye and Chu Xuanfeng had witnessed everything. They were all astonished by Gu Ning's swift move.

They knew that she was somebody, but they had no idea she was so awesome.

Chu Xuanfeng swallowed with great force, and said in fear, "Jesus, she's so unbelievable! She could even discover the sniper, and saved the man within such a short time! I wouldn't be able to do it myself."

Chu Xuanfeng now admired Gu Ning. At the same time, he was so disappointed. "What should I do? I feel so ashamed now."

Situ Ye remained silent, but he had to admit that Gu Ning was really excellent. All of a sudden, he had a strong interest in this girl. Who would win if they were in a game?

Gu Ning?

He would go and investigate this girl later.

Meanwhile, Zhou Zhenghong was driving to the processing plant together with Gu Ning. She needed to visit the processing plant before she went back to City F.

On the way, Gu Ning asked Zhou Zhenghong, "Uncle Zhou, do you know Master Bai's background?"

"Master Bai is named Bai Ruxuan. He is the third richest man in City G with thirty billion yuan in assets. He is involved in many industries, but is mainly involved in tobacco and medicine. Those two are the major industries in City G," Zhou Zhenghong said.

Hearing that, Gu Ning was greatly surprised. She didn't know that Master Bai was so powerful.

If Master Bai was going to attend her opening ceremony, it would cause a sensation. She didn't need to promote at all. Master Bai would be her live advertisement.

Never the less, she would of course advertise. Zhou Zhenghong would deal with it.

In the processing plant, Chang Qingshan and others were already in the middle of making jewelry. They used machines to process medium-high-level jade, while processing high-level jade by hand. The types of jewelry were all up to them. Gu Ning wouldn't interfere.

When it was almost 3 pm, Zhou Zhenghong drove Gu Ning to the airport. Her plane would take off at 4:30 pm.

She arrived at the airport at 3:40 pm and it was 4 pm when she got into the lounge. Gu Ning randomly sat down. It was more than 10 minutes away from the departure time.

The minute she sat down, a surprised male voice sounded nearby, "It is you!" Hearing that, Gu Ning looked to him. He was a handsome young man, but she didn't know him.

Seeing Gu Ning being puzzled, the man immediately explained, "Nice to meet you. My name's Chu Xuanfeng. You probably don't know me, but I know you. I saw you today at the Huangdeng Hotel."

Yes, the man was exactly Chu Xuanfeng.

To Chu Xuanfeng's surprise, he met Gu Ning in the airport. He had to go and talk to her. Was she heading to City F as well?

"Nice to meet you," Gu Ning replied friendly.

Noticing that the man was very excited, Gu Ning knew that he must have seen her rescue the mayor.

"Are you going to City F?" Chu Xuanfeng asked.

"Yes," Gu Ning answered.

Chapter 123: Chu Peihan's Older Brother

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Me too. I live in City F. How about you? Are you going to visit City F, or do you live in there too?" Chu Xuanfeng asked.

"I live in City F too," Gu Ning said.

After a short time of chatting, they went abroad. Chu Xuanfeng didn't sit with Gu Ning, but they met each other again when they got off the plane.

"Where are you going? May I give you a lift?" Chu Xuanfeng asked politely. He didn't want to burden Gu Ning, so he added, "My sister is here to pick me up."

"Thanks, but I can go back myself," Gu Ning declined.

Chu Xuanfeng didn't insist. They weren't familiar after all. It would be inappropriate if he insisted.

When they were at the exit, both Gu Ning's and Chu Xuanfeng's sight fell on the same person at the same time. The person saw them with surprise as well.

Chu Peihan, why was she here? Gu Ning was confused.

Chu Peihan ran over at once. She grabbed Gu Ning's hand, asking in excitement, "Boss, how come you arrived with my older brother?"

"You older brother?" Gu Ning was struck dumb for a second. She looked to Chu Xuanfeng, and was totally shocked. Chu Xuanfeng was Chu Peihan's older brother? What a coincidence!

Chu Xuanfeng was also astonished. Gu Ning knew his younger sister? Wait, boss? Why did Peihan call Gu Ning boss? What was going on?

Although he didn't know the details, he could guess the reason. If he guessed correctly, Chu Peihan must admire Gu Ning's outstanding ability, so she called her boss.

Chu Xuanfeng indeed knew his younger sister well. She was so keen on kung fu.

"Well, are you…" Chu Peihan suddenly said meaningfully.

Seeing that, Gu Ning immediately knew what Chu Peihan was thinking. She interrupted her, and explained simply about how she met Chu Xuanfeng.

However, she didn't tell Chu Xuanfeng the details about what had happened at the Huangdeng Hotel. She only said that she had rescued a person, and that Chu Xuanfeng had accidentally seen it.

They had met and chatted in the airport, and it had been a coincidence that they had met again and came out of the exit together.

"Fine." Actually, Chu Peihan was simply joking. Although she did hope that her older brother could have a romantic relationship with Gu Ning, she wasn't able to force them to do so. Thus she said, "It's not early now. Why don't you go dine with us?"

Chu Peihan sincerely invited Gu Ning. There was no need for them to pretend.

"Sorry, I told my mom that I'm going home to have a meal. I can't let her down," Gu Ning declined again.

"Alright." Chu Peihan didn't insist either. She only asked, "Where do you live then? Let us give you a ride."

"Fenghua Luxury Mansion." This time, Gu Ning didn't say no. She knew that she could be real with Chu Peihan.

"We're going in the same direction. Let's go!" Chu Xuanfeng walked ahead with Gu Ning, ignoring Chu Xuanfeng completely.

Chu Xuanfeng felt slightly hurt. Wasn't his younger sister here for him? Wasn't she supposed to give him a hug? Wasn't she supposed to care about him? Why did she suddenly forget her older brother because of Gu Ning?

Chu Xuanfeng took out his phone, taking a photo of Chu Peihan and Gu Ning. He typed down lines of words, then posted it in his moments.

Aren't you supposed to pick up your older brother? Why do you completely ignore your own older brother the minute you see your friend? [Cry emoji]

Before long, Situ Ye saw this moment. He also immediately recognized one of the backs was Gu Ning. He squinted.

Unexpectedly, Gu Ning was Chu Peihan's friend. That would make it much easier.

On the way, Chu Peihan kept talking with Gu Ning. Chu Xuanfeng didn't have chance to be involved at all. He wasn't happy, but remained quiet. He was a gentleman, and wasn't willing to interrupt them. He wanted to leave a good impression on Gu Ning too.

Gu Ning said good-bye to them and got off the car when they arrived at Fenghua Luxury Mansion.

After Gu Ning was gone, there were only a driver, Chu Xuanfeng and his younger sister in the car. Chu Xuanfeng asked, "Han, I've never seen you being so close to another person. And you even call her your boss."

"Ningning is so good! She can easily defeat me within 10 moves," Chu Peihan said with pure admiration and respect towards Gu Ning.

Chu Xuanfeng agreed. Even he admired Gu Ning's extraordinary ability, let alone Chu Peihan.

He was also sure that Gu Ning must not have used her full force. Otherwise, Chu Peihan would have lost within three movements.

"Oh, why don't you have a try with Ningning someday? I'm curious to see who is going to win. I said that to Ningning the other day, and she agreed," Chu Peihan said with great anticipation. She hadn't see Gu Ning's real power, so she was really curious about Gu Ning's ability.

Chu Xuanfeng had seen it himself! Thus he now felt cornered. In the past, he would have agreed without hesitation, but now, he lost his confidence. However, he still wanted to have a try. After a few seconds of hesitation, he said, "Great!"

When Gu Ning finally got home, it was already 6:30 pm. Gu Man had prepared the meal and Gu Qing's family were there too. They were waiting for her, but they all seemed displeased. Gu Ning felt that something had to be wrong. She asked with worry, "Mom, aunt, what happened?"

Gu Qing replied, "It was your eldest uncle. His proposal has been rejected by Executive Le. Thus he called to ask whether you have done something behind his back. He even criticized us for not helping him and standing in his way!"

Hearing that, Gu Ning was annoyed and felt like laughing. "That's insane! How can I affect Executive Le's decision? And why should I help him? I'm not as shameless as him!"

"Exactly! Never the less, he now believes that it's your fault. I'm so mad at him." Gu Qing even lost her appetite for dinner.

"There, there. We did nothing wrong. Just ignore them," Gu Ning said to comfort them. Then she thought of something and said, "Oh! I've prepared jewelry made of jade for you all. The four of us ladies have a bracelet, a pendant and earrings, while uncle has a wide jade ring."

Chapter 124: The Top One in the Grade

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Ning said then she immediately took off her backpack. She gave them the Fulushou jewelry to cheer them up.

"Let me see. Let me have a look!" Gu Qing was excited at once.

"Oh, I have jewelry as well?" Jiang Xu was surprised.

He didn't care about jewelry, but it was from Gu Ning so he would take it with happiness.

"There is a word from our names inside the bracelets and pendants. And our Chinese zodiac signs are on the cover. You can choose your earrings according to your preference. Uncle, yours is the same,��� Gu Ning said.

"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Gu Qing was totally thrilled.

"Indeed! It's so pretty!" Gu Man beamed.

Women could never resist the allure of jewelry, especially attractive jade jewelry.

Jiang Xinyue was still young so the jewelry wasn't suitable for her yet, but she was happy to receive them as gifts. Gu Qing helped Jiang Xinyue put away her earrings and bracelet, and only left her pendant with her.

After the meal, Gu Ning went back to her room. She called An Guangyao, and asked him about the situation of Shenghua Real Estate.

An Guangyao replied, "Boss, I've already told the shareholders. There are seven shareholders, except me. Only three of them are willing to stay, and the rest are leaving."

"Great, the funds are ready. I'll be at the company tomorrow afternoon at two. We can sign the contract," Gu Ning said.

"Sure," An Guangyao answered.

The next day, Gu Ning ran to school as usual. This time, she didn't meet Leng Shaoting, nor Xu Jinchen. Actually, Xu Jinchen and Leng Shaoting were running in the morning as well. They saw Gu Ning, but didn't appear in her sight.

"Hey, why do you have to stop me since you don't want to go over and say hi yourself?" Xu Jinchen planned to talk to Gu Ning, but was stopped by Leng Shaoting.

"Are you really free?" Leng Shaoting asked. Then before Xu Jinchen could say a word, he opened his mouth again. "If you're free, run another 20 kilometers."

"What? I didn't say I…" Xu Jinchen argued. However, before he could finish, he received a cold look from Leng Shaoting. He immediately shut his mouth.

Why? How could Leng Shaoting be so cruel? He only wanted to talk to Gu Ning. Why should he be punished for that? In addition, he only did it to test Leng Shaoting. It seemed as if he could only gain his freedom by staying away from his boss.

Gu Ning and her friends ran back to their classrooms. They met Gu Xiaoxiao on the third floor. Gu Xiaoxiao was waiting for Gu Ning. Gu Ning clearly knew why Gu Xiaoxiao was here.

Seeing Gu Ning, Gu Xiaoxiao criticized her with anger, "Gu Ning, did you talk to Executive Le, and tell him to reject my dad's proposal?"

Students around them immediately gathered.

"Gu Xiaoxiao, do you really believe I'm able to do that?" Gu Ning sneered.

"You're merely a poor girl. You absolutely can't do that," Gu Xiaoxiao unconsciously replied.

"Since you don't believe I have the ability, why do you think I did it?" Gu Ning asked with heavy sarcasm.

"I…" Gu Xiaoxiao then realized that she made a mistake.

However, even though she didn't believe that Gu Ning was able to do that, she couldn't think of anyone else who could have had done it.

Before Gu Xiaoxiao could say a word, Gu Ning said, "Gu Xiaoxiao, business is business. Executive Le will only choose the best proposal for the good of his company. Your father has run a business for so many years. How can he not understand that? If your father's proposal has been rejected, it only proves your father's proposal isn't the best. Besides, if your father had been able to be the best, his assets would have been a couple hundred million yuan, instead of only a dozen million yuan."

"You…" Gu Xiaoxiao was irritated by Gu Ning's words. She knew Gu Ning's words made sense, but she wasn't willing to admit it.

"You know I'm telling the truth. If your father doesn't understand it, his company will probably go bankrupt in the near future," Gu Ning added.

"Gu Ning, how dare you curse my family!" Gu Xiaoxiao was in a rage.

"It's the reality. Face it," Gu Ning said airily.

"You…" Gu Xiaoxiao's face turned red in anger, but she didn't know how to argue back.

"Also, don't blame me for everything. Just because I stay quiet doesn't mean that I'm weak. If I'm going to act, you can't afford the result," Gu Ning warned her coldly. She then said good-bye to Chu Peihan and the others, leaving for her classroom with Yu Mixi.

Those onlookers all disliked Gu Xiaoxiao, which made her even angrier. Watching Gu Ning leaving, Gu Xiaoxiao wore a vicious face.

Gu Ning, I won't let you get away with it. Let's go and see!

In the first class, the head teacher announced the results of this monthly test.

Gu Ning was the top one in the grade this time. Except for her Chinese article which had deducted only one point, her other tests all gained full scores, which had never happened before.

The whole classroom was very surprised. No one would believe it.

"What? Gu Ning is the top one in our grade? Her Chinese article only got one point deducted, and her other tests all have full scores? How is it possible? Isn't she always bad at studying?" Shao Feifei was the first one who expressed her doubts.

"Exactly! I don't believe it. She must have cheated!" Wu Qingya added.

"Yes, I agree."

The other classmates all doubted the result.

"Alright." The head teacher stopped them. Although she couldn't believe it herself, it was the truth. "She is the top one. And she is 36 points in front of the second. In addition, the teachers who were in the classroom all said that Gu Ning didn't cheat. If you have time to question others, why don't you spend more time on improving yourself?"

Many students were unhappy, but didn't dare to say another word. The news was also announced in other classrooms. It arose many doubts too, especially Gu Xiaoxiao, Qin Zheng and their friends. They refused to believe it.

The three students who had always been the top three in their grade felt greatly displeased.

Usually, they were always the top three, but the top spot was grabbed by another student, who had been so bad at studying, out of blue. It was so hard for them to accept the truth.

Chapter 125: Transfer Equities

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Nevertheless, they could do nothing about it. Even the teacher had said that Gu Ning hadn't cheated, because she had been the first to hand the paper in every test.

Mu Ke, Chu Peihan and the others were also very surprised, but they chose to believe Gu Ning. In their eyes, Gu Ning wasn't an ordinary girl.

When the class was over, they discussed fiercely in their WeChat group.

Hao Ran: "Boss, you're so awesome! You're the top in our grade in this monthly test."

Qin Zixun: "Exactly! How did you do it, boss? You were always the first one to hand in the paper."

Chu Peihan: "Though I feel surprised, I believe that it is true."

Mu Ke: "Me too."

Zhang Tianping: "Me too."

Yu Mixi: "Ningning has been helping me with my studies recently. I got obviously better scores too."

Hao Ran: "I don't have much interest in studying, or I'd turn to boss for help as well."

Qin Zixun and Zhang Tianping: "Me too!"

Chu Peihan: "It's already enough for me to go to school. I'll go crazy if I go to extra classes."

Mu Ke: "Boss, could you help me with my studies?"

Although Mu Ke was among the top 20, his total score was far behind Gu Ning's. Even the top two in their grade were 50 points behind Gu Ning according to their total scores, because Gu Ning's total score neared the full score.

Gu Ning: "No problem, as long as I'm free."

Gu Ning didn't think that she wasn't capable of helping a good student such as Mu Ke. Because she had her power, it was an undeniable truth that she was better than Mu Ke now. She would be low-key in front of outsiders, but she would be honest in front of her close friends.

During the break, Gu Xiaoxiao avoided Qin Zheng, calling her cousin. She said that she had been beaten by Gu Ning, and asked her cousin to teach Gu Ning a lesson for her.

Gu Xiaoxiao's cousin was Lin Yuehao, who was a son of Gu Xiaoxiao's uncle. He hated studying and fooled around all day, so he stopped studying the moment he had graduated from his high school.

He was now 21, but all he knew and cared about was entertainment. However, because he fooled around all day, he knew some gangsters. Thus Gu Xiaoxiao wanted him to help her ruin Gu Ning.

Gu Xiaoxiao literally hated Gu Ning to the death and she was a malicious girl herself. It was Gu Xiaoxiao who had actively humiliated Gu Ning from the very beginning, while Gu Ning only fought back for her and her family, but Gu Xiaoxiao was too selfish and envious to realize that.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't believe that Gu Ning was able to deal with those gangsters. Lin Yuehao was of course willing to help his cousin. Lin Yuehao was arrogant himself, so he didn't think that it was a big deal at all. He promised directly that he would handle it within two days.

The last class was the head teacher's class. Gu Ning went to ask for a leave the minute the class was over.

In the past, Zhang Qiuhua would lecture Gu Ning if she asked for a leave so often, but Gu Ning had done so well in this monthly test, so Zhang Qiuhua didn't reject.

Although it was still a little hard for Zhang Qiuhua to believe it, Gu Ning had promised that she hadn't cheated and the teacher who had been in the classroom had also testified for Gu Ning. She chose to believe Gu Ning for now, but Zhang Qiuhua also reminded Gu Ning not to be proud, and keep studying hard.

Gu Ning left her school, but she didn't go straight to Shenghua Real Estate. She went to the Commercial Building. It was time for a meal and for changing her outfit. Gu Ning planned to look mature just like she had in City G. She didn't want others to recognize her.

This time, Gu Ning was wearing a professional suit. She had her hair in a bun with light makeup and glasses. She looked like one of the elite. Of course, she looked like a 25-year-old woman.

Gu Ning arrived at Shenghua Real Estate by a taxi before 2 pm.

Shenghua Real Estate was located on the seventh floor in a large office building. It was around 700 square meters big with over a 100 employees.

Shenghua Real Estate wasn't a dominating empire, so it didn't have its own office building. And there was no need for them to use a whole office building, but the seventh floor was bought by Shenghua Real Estate. It belonged to Shenghua Real Estate.

Gu Ning went up to the seventh floor. She told the worker in the reception that she was here to meet An Guangyao. Then Gu Ning followed the worker to the chairman's office.

The minute Gu Ning walked in the office, An Guangyao was struck dumb.

Wasn't Gu Ning supposed to be here? Who was this woman?

An Guangyao frowned with displeasure. He asked, "May I know your name, please?"

"Uncle An, I'm Gu Ning," Gu Ning smiled.

"What?" Hearing that, An Guangyao rounded his eyes. He still couldn't believe his eyes.

Gu Ning explained, "I didn't want other to recognize me, so I changed."

It was Gu Ning's voice. An Guangyao then believed her. "You've changed a lot! If you didn't say a word, I would never have known that it was you."

Gu Ning had told An Guangyao not to tell others who the buyer of Shenghua Real Estate was before, so no one knew who the person that was going to buy Shenghua Real Estate was. However, no matter who the buyer was, Shenghua Real Estate only wanted adequate money.

After a while, a lawyer who worked for Shenghua Real Estate arrived.

At 1:55 pm, seven shareholders walked into the room continuously. When there was only one minute left, An Guangyao along with Gu Ning and the lawyer went inside.

Since An Guangyao had already told them, Gu Ning didn't need to say it again. She only needed to sign the contract and transfer the money. It took around half an hour to finish all of this.

Gu Ning was here today on behalf of the buyer. Other than An Guangyao and the lawyer, no one knew her real identity.

Gu Ning got An Guangyao to collect all the shares under his name, then transfer them to her. No one would know who the person that bought Shenghua Real Estate was.

Gu Ning paid four hundred million yuan in total. Three hundred million yuan flew into the fund of Shenghua Real Estate, while the other hundred million yuan was used to buy all the shareholders' shares.

In the end, An Guangyao, who had owned 55% shares, now had 20% and Gu Ning successfully took over 70% shares under her name. They left 10% shares in the market as usual.

Shenghua's stock price had declined dramatically these days, but as long as money flew in, the price would go up at once.

After signing the contract, Gu Ning, An Guangyao and the lawyer went to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to transfer equities. Then, An Guangyao went back to the company. Gu Ning also left.

Chapter 126: I Heard You Don't Like Women

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Ning let An Guangyao take full responsibility of the company, so he would deal with the following things.

Those who wanted to buy Shenghua Real Estate had kept an eye on it. Thus they soon received the news that Shenghua Real Estate had already been bought.

The minute the news went abroad, everybody who planned to buy Shenghua Real Estate at a low price felt disappointed.

Four hundred million yuan actually wasn't a high price, but all of them wanted to pay a lower price than that. In the end, they had all lost the great opportunity.

At the same time, some doubted that Shenghua Real Estate had been bought, and thought that An Guangyao had borrowed the money he needed, because no one knew who the buyer was and An Guangyao was still the chairman of Shenghua Real Estate.

As for the shareholders who were all dismissed, everyone also believed that it was only because An Guangyao wanted to fully be in charge of the company. No one knew that An Guangyao had transfered the shares to Gu Ning.

Anyway, Shenghua Real Estate stayed afloat.

It wasn't 4 pm yet when Gu Ning left, and it was too early to go home.

All of sudden, Gu Ning thought of giving the gun back to Leng Shaoting. She was free now, and intended to invite Leng Shaoting out, but what should they eat?

Gu Ning wanted to have an expensive meal.

While she was thinking about that, she went to change her clothes and remove the makeup.

After that, Gu Ning had an idea. She was going to eat lobsters and crabs.

Then she called Leng Shaoting.

When Leng Shaoting received Gu Ning's call, he had just gotten back to Fenghua Luxury Mansion with Xu Jinchen.

He hung up Gu Ning's call, and told Xu Jinchen to stop the car. He then asked him to get out directly.

"What?" Xu Jinchen was struck dumb. He had no idea what Leng Shaoting was going to do.

"I have something to deal with and I need the car," Leng Shaoting said.

"Why do you need to be in a hurry? Can't you drive me to my home first?" Xu Jinchen complained. Leng Shaoting looked at ease. It didn't seem like something important was going to happen.

"No." It was an undeniable rejection. Xu Jinchen had to get out then.

Leng Shaoting opened the door of the passenger seat, stepping outside. He passed the front of the car, sat in the driver seat, and left directly, leaving Xu Jinchen at the same place.

It was Xu Jinchen's car actually. Leng Shaoting grabbed it from him.

Gu Ning called Leng Shaoting to meet in a seafood restaurant near the downtown. Gu Ning wasn't in the downtown, but wasn't not far away either. It took her 40 minutes to get there by walking.

The appointed time was 5 pm, so she planned to walk there.

Unexpectedly, Leng Shaoting arrived at the restaurant at 4:30 pm. He was half an hour early.

Leng Shaoting didn't realize that he was half an hour early until he had arrived.

Since when had he become so active? Even if he wanted the gun, he had to wait till five pm.

Anyway, he could only wait since he was already here.

Leng Shaoting stopped the car at the parking lot outside the restaurant. And he was waiting in the car glancing at his wrist watch to check the time once in a while. It was the first time that he had felt that the time passed so slowly.

Around 4:40 pm, Gu Ning finally appeared in Leng Shaoting's sight. Although she was 50 meters away, he recognized her in the first look.

When Leng Shaoting noticed Gu Ning, his anxiety disappeared immediately.

He didn't get out of the car until Gu Ning came near. Leng Shaoting met Gu Ning face to face, like it was a coincidence.

Gu Ning was stuck dumb for a second. She felt a little displeased. "I didn't expect you to be here so early. I said that I'd give the gun back to you, and I will. You don't need to rush."

This was the first time that someone had been unhappy because the other had arrived early for a "date". Besides, Gu Ning was being slightly unreasonable now.

Leng Shaoting had arrived early, but he didn't force her to give the gun back to him right now.

Well, it was mainly because Gu Ning still had a bad opinion towards Leng Shaoting. She got displeased for no reason when she met him.

Leng Shaoting also disliked Gu Ning's words, but he didn't say anything because he was here for the gun after all.

Gu Ning guided Leng Shaoting, walking into the restaurant. They received many surprised looks. However, this time, those looks weren't for her, but for him.

"There is nothing to look at," Gu Ning said with annoyance. Leng Shaoting frowned a little. He didn't like Gu Ning's attitude, nor the attention, but he couldn't stop others from staring at him.

Gu Ning asked for a private room. She ordered lobsters, crabs, fish and so forth.

The two sat across from each other, but no one said a word.

Gu Ning looked at Leng Shaoting. She liked his appearance, but she was unhappy that he was going to take the gun back.

All of sudden, an evil idea dawned on Gu Ning. She asked, "I heard you don't like women?"

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting was upset. "Who told you that?"

He thought that it had to be Chen Meng, because Chen Meng had just met Gu Ning.

It wasn't the first time that Leng Shaoting had faced that question. He had been upset, but hadn't been nervous before, but now, he felt nervous.

Facing Gu Ning, he was nervous for no reason. Probably he didn't want her to believe it.

"I don't want to tell you," Gu Ning said.

"It's not true," Leng Shaoting explained.

No, it was not true. Although he hadn't fallen in love with any woman yet, and he hadn't thought about that question either, he was sure that he liked women, not men.

Then, the two fell into silence again.

Before long, the dishes were on the table. Without hesitation, Gu Ning started to enjoying the meal, while Leng Shaoting sat still.

"Why aren't you eating?" Gu Ning asked.

Actually, she didn't care whether he ate or not, but he kept looking at her. It was strange.

"I'm not hungry," Leng Shaoting said.

"Well, am I too beautiful that you prefer to look at me instead of eating?" Gu Ning joked.

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting was struck dumb for a second. He then realized that he had been absent-minded staring at Gu Ning. He panicked a little, but retorted, "Of course not."

Gu Ning couldn't help but roll her eyes. She wasn't blind to miss that detail.

Chapter 127: Why Did You Pretend to Be Weak?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

However, Gu Ning didn't think that Leng Shaoting had special feelings towards her, because she couldn't see any fondness in his eyes.

Actually, Leng Shaoting hadn't figured out what fondness was yet. He only felt that Gu Ning was pleasant to get along with, even though she didn't seem elegant while she was eating.

After Gu Ning's reminder, Leng Shaoting stopped staring at her. Gu Ning continued to eating without feeling uneasy. Although Gu Ning ate a lot, she still wasn't able to finish all the dishes. She had ordered for two, but Leng Shaoting didn't eat at all. Thus half of the dishes were left on the table.

Leng Shaoting would be paying the bill after all, so Gu Ning didn't need to worry about that.

After the meal, Gu Ning took out the gun handing it to Leng Shaoting. "It's yours now. Don't follow me anymore."

Leng Shaoting looked at the gun, but he didn't take it back at once. Instead, he felt a little disappointed when Gu Ning told him not to follow her anymore. Suddenly, he was reluctant to take the gun back.

What was happening to him?

"Do you want it or not? If you don't take it, I'll regret now." Seeing that Leng Shaoting stayed still, Gu Ning lost her patience. She didn't know what was on his mind.

He was the one who urged her to give the gun back to him, but now he wouldn't take it himself.

"Do you really like this gun?" Leng Shaoting asked.

"Yeah, will you give it to me because I like it?" Gu Ning asked, but she didn't believe it. If he would give it to her because she liked it, he wouldn't spend so much effort on chasing it back.

Never the less, why did he ask the question?

Thinking about how Chen Meng hadn't defeated Gu Ning, Leng Shaoting blurted it out, "I'll give you a chance. If you can persist for at least 10 minutes in a fight with me, I'll give it to you."

Leng Shaoting didn't realize what he had just said until he said it. However, he didn't regret it.

Somehow, he believed that Gu Ning wouldn't do any illegal things with the gun. Most importantly, he wasn't willing to see her being unhappy.

"What?"

Hearing that, Gu Ning felt puzzled instead of happy.

To persist for at least 10 minutes in a fight with him, and he would give the gun to her? However, he was the one who had said that it was illegal to hold a gun secretly as an ordinary citizen. Now he promised to give her a chance. What was wrong with him?

Besides, Gu Ning knew that Leng Shaoting was better than Chen Meng. She wasn't confident in being able to defeat him.

All of sudden, even Gu Ning, who had an agile mind, failed to understand.

Leng Shaoting was dissatisfied to see Gu Ning's reaction. Didn't she want this gun badly?

Noticing Leng Shaoting's face, Gu Ning immediately got her mind back. No matter what Leng Shaoting meant, she certainly wanted the gun. She answered without hesitation, "No problem. Where should we have the fight?"

Leng Shaoting was relieved to receive an affirmative answer. He said, "Fenghua Luxury Mansion, the gym in C zone."

Then, Gu Ning followed Leng Shaoting to leave for Fenghua Luxury Mansion. They parked the car in the underground parking lot before heading to the gym in C zone.

Xu Jinchen had a card in this gym and Leng Shaoting and Xu Jinchen had come here several times these days. Thus the boss knew them, and agreed to lend Leng Shaoting the place for 10 minutes.

It was the dinner time, so there weren't many people inside. Several men who were working out stopped to watch at once, when they heard that Leng Shaoting was going to have a fight with Gu Ning.

A tall, strong man versus a slim, young teenager. No one believed that Gu Ning could win, but they also knew that they were competing for fun.

The two were ready, and the game began.

In the beginning, Gu Ning didn't use her full force, while Leng Shaoting apparently didn't want to hurt her. Therefore, it was even.

Those onlookers were all surprised to see Gu Ning wasn't weak at all. Appearance did lie.

As the time went by, both of them started to hit heavily, but obviously, Gu Ning couldn't beat Leng Shaoting. No matter how hard she hit, Leng Shaoting was always able to do better than her.

Gu Ning actually had no ambition to defeat Leng Shaoting. She only hoped that she could still stand after 10 minutes. Thus whenever she felt that she was out of strength, she used her power to enhance her ability. Therefore, it was also difficult for Leng Shaoting to beat her down.

Accordingly, Leng Shaoting was astonished, Gu Ning was even better than he had believed.

Leng Shaoting didn't want to defeat Gu Ning. He didn't use his full force either. He only controlled Gu Ning secretly and prevented her from winning.

Gu Ning wasn't dumb. She knew what Leng Shaoting was doing, but she was confused by why he would do that.

She couldn't help thinking that Leng Shaoting liked her, so he pretended to be weak.

Ten minutes passed quickly. Gu Ning didn't lose, so the gun was hers now.

A round of applause sounded. Everyone looked at Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning with admiration.

They didn't know that Leng Shaoting had pretended to be weak, and allowed Gu Ning to take advantage of it. They had enjoyed the fight. It was like a Hollywood action movie! And they had fought against each other face to face, while those movies all relied on special effects.

"Why did you pretend to be weak?" Gu Ning walked to Leng Shaoting and asked him.

Leng Shaoting panicked a little. He didn't answer her question, but warned, "If I ever find out that you used the gun to hurt innocent people, I'll get you myself."

After that, Leng Shaoting ignored Gu Ning, stepping away directly.

Gu Ning was aware that he panicked. Did he really like her? Gu Ning wasn't sure, but if it was really that, she wouldn't reject. She thought it was funny instead. Maybe because she appreciated his handsome appearance, or because she had good opinions towards military officers.

In Gu Ning's eyes, Leng Shaoting almost escaped away.

Indeed, Leng Shaoting left so fast because he panicked.

Gu Ning didn't go back home, but instead went to school. She had only asked for a leave for this afternoon. When she got to school, it was 10 minutes away from the evening class. Gu Ning went straight to the head teacher's office. She planned to propose not attending the evening class from now on.

In the beginning, the head teacher disagreed. It wouldn't be good for Gu Ning's study, but Gu Ning promised that she would keep on studying hard, so the head teacher agreed in the end.

Chapter 128: Interested in Gu Ning

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The head teacher also said that if she failed to be one of the top 10 after the next test, she had to attend the evening class then.

Gu Ning agreed willingly. She now didn't worry about her studies at all. From afar, Gu Ning saw An Yi walking around the door of her classroom. She knew that he must be here for her. An Yi must want to thank her for rescuing him. He didn't know about the deal between Gu Ning and his dad yet.

The minute An Yi saw Gu Ning, he wore a pleased face. "Hi, Gu Ning."

"How are you?" Gu Ning asked.

"I'm fine now. I wanted to thank you for what you've done for me, but you were absent this afternoon. Um, would you please come to lunch with me tomorrow? I really want to thank you all. Please."

Although An Yi mainly wanted to thank Gu Ning and her friends, he also wanted to express his affection towards Gu Ning.

"Sure!" Gu Ning said. Gu Ning and An Guangyao were close now. She wouldn't reject An Yi for the sake of his father.

An Yi was thrilled to have Gu Ning's affirmative answer. "Great, then I'll come to you tomorrow noon."

Then they said good-bye to each other.

Most of the classmates inside saw Gu Ning talking with An Yi. They also knew that An Yi was chasing Gu Ning, so they thought that it was understandable, but Shao Feifei and her friends were envious of Gu Ning. They couldn't accept the fact that Gu Ning, who had been poor and disliked by many, was now so popular.

They actually didn't know An Yi's background. If they had known that An Yi was from a rich family, they would have hated Gu Ning to the death.

Nonetheless, An Yi's family business was different now, because the company that once belonged to his family was now Gu Ning's property. Luckily, An Yi remained low-profile, and not many people knew about his background.

Besides, his family business almost went bankrupt this time. He also knew that someone had bought the company, but he had no idea who the buyer was. Therefore, An Yi didn't believe that he was still a rich kid.

Gu Ning went into the classroom. She told Yu Mixi and other friends in the WeChat group that she wouldn't be attending the evening class from now on.

Chu Peihan, Hao Ran, Qin Zixun and Zhang Tianping went to school every day only because of Gu Ning. Since Gu Ning wouldn't be attending the evening class, they would do the same thing.

Mu Ke and Yu Mixi would follow the rules as usual.

They planned to train in the afternoon in the future.

As for the reason why Gu Ning wouldn't be attending the evening class, she simply explained that she didn't want to.

Since, she was the top one in their grade now no one could blame her for being so casual.

When Gu Ning got home in the evening, she also told her mom about her scores in this monthly test and her decision. Gu Man was happy to hear about it.

Parents all wanted their children to be excellent and outstanding. Although Gu Man had never criticized or blamed Gu Ning for her bad performance in school, she was thrilled to see that her daughter had improved a lot.

Gu Man supported Gu Ning not attending the evening class as well. She now completely believed in her daughter.

When Gu Xiaoxiao got home, she told Gu Qinxiang and others about what had happened that morning. Gu Qinxiang was in a rage. He had to admit that Gu Ning's words made sense, but he hated Gu Ning for saying it in public. It was humiliating in his eyes.

Gu Qingxiang ignored the fact that it was Gu Xiaoxiao who had gone to argue with Gu Ning first.

Selfish people only cared about their feelings, and treated others badly. Gu Qingxiang's entire family started to swear at Gu Ning. If it hadn't been for Gu Man not being willing to answer their calls, they would have called and sworn at them directly. They also didn't know Gu Ning's number.

In fact, they hadn't supported Gu Ning for a single day, so they actually weren't in the position to slam Gu Ning.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't mention that Gu Ning was the top one in their grade in this monthly test. She had always been the best student in the Gu Family, and she didn't want to be replaced.

Even though Gu Ning had cut her connection with the Gu Family, her family name was still "Gu" after all.

…

The next day, Gu Ning left zone G and met Xu Jinchen.

"Hey, morning!" Xu Jinchen greeted Gu Ning.

"Good morning!" Gu Ning said.

"Are you going to school? Oh, I do miss my school days," Xu Jinchen said when he noticed that Gu Ning was in her school uniform with a backpack.

"I wish that I could get rid of my school days as soon as possible. I want my freedom," Gu Ning said.

"Ha-ha, I understand. It is boring staying in the school all day, but once you need to find a job and earn money, you'll be stressed and miss your school days," Xu Jinchen said.

It was true. Most people started to miss their school days once they left school and tried making a living in society.

Those who had a rich or powerful family would feel that it was easy, but those who didn't would be under great pressure.

"I agree. So even though I don't like studying, I will seize my chance to enjoy my school life. I don't want to regret it in the future," Gu Ning said.

She disliked studying. It was time-consuming, but since she had been reborn, she wanted to live an ordinary life. She couldn't let the hatred get the best of her. She would get revenge, and also enjoy her life.

Gu Ning didn't talk with Xu Jinchen for very long, because she had to go to school.

After Gu Ning was gone, Leng Shaoting appeared from other side. He glanced at Xu Jinchen, but didn't say a word. Xu Jinchen felt nervous at once.

Why didn't Leng Shaoting stop him from chatting with Gu Ning?

Xu Jinchen thought for a while, then asked Leng Shaoting, "Shaoting, what do you think of Gu Ning?"

"What?" Leng Shaoting said.

"Um, do you think that she would be a good girlfriend?" Xu Jinchen asked again.

"I don't know," Leng Shaoting replied. He had no idea, because he didn't understand romantic relationships at all.

"Oh," Xu Jinchen cleared his throat, then asked seriously, "Shaoting, be honest with me. What is your relationship with her?"

"Nothing," Leng Shaoting said.

"Really? Don't lie to my face. I am getting interested in Gu Ning now. If there is nothing between you two I'm going to chase her!" Xu Jinchen said with sincerity.

Chapter 129: The Qing Gang

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Leng Shaoting stayed expressionless, but he felt displeased in his heart. He said unconsciously, "You don't match."

"Why? No matter whether she is from a rich family, or a powerful family, her family is hardly comparable with mine. Also, you know my family doesn't care about background, as long as I like her. Gu Ning is beautiful. I'm good-looking too! I'm also upright with a good job," Xu Jinchen argued. Why didn't they match?

Actually Leng Shaoting didn't know why himself, he just wanted Xu Jinchen to stay away from Gu Ning.

"Go with me to fulfil the task tomorrow," Leng Shaoting ordered, then he left directly.

"What?" Xu Jinchen was shocked.

No way! He still had five days off during this vacation, but he had to leave tomorrow?

"Boss, I haven't finished my vacation yet! You can't do that to me," Xu Jinchen complained catching up to Leng Shaoting, but Leng Shaoting ignored him.

"Boss…" Xu Jinchen almost cried. He didn't understand why Leng Shaoting suddenly treated him so badly. Was it only because he wanted to chase Gu Ning? Leng Shaoting had said that there was nothing between him and Gu Ning, so why wouldn't he allow Xu Jinchen to chase her?

When Gu Ning got near her school, several men dashed from out of a nearby van, all of a sudden. They stood in Gu Ning's way.

Gu Ning's face changed immediately. How dared they stop her in the school? Students around them all ran away. They knew that something bad was about to happen.

Those men looked like hoodlums, who did bad things without thinking of the results.

Someone took out a phone to record. No one knew if he was having fun or wanted to save it as proof and then hand it to the police.

Those men surrounded Gu Ning, planning to pull Gu Ning into the car. School wasn't where they could hurt a student randomly. However, just as they approached Gu Ning, she began to hit them.

She broke a man's nose with a fist. The man screamed in pain with blood around his nose. Before he could fight back, Gu Ning grabbed his hand. She lifted him, throwing him at another man. The second man was knocked down on the ground. Both of them felt greatly hurt, screaming in pain like pigs.

Meanwhile, the third man secretly attacked Gu Ning from the back, but Gu Ning successfully escaped his attack just as the third man almost touched her. Then she raised her knee, hitting the man directly in his stomach. The third man immediately covered his stomach with his hands. Gu Ning kicked him down to the floor without hesitation.

There were two men still standing. It had happened too fast, so they didn't have time to retreat.

Gu Ning threw her backpack into the air, dashing to one of them, and hit him in the face. As for the last man, Gu Ning caught his hand and snapped it easily. The man was in severe pain, screaming loudly.

The onlookers were all shocked by the scene.

Someone recognized Gu Ning and the student who was recording immediately uploaded the video to the forum with the title "Goddess Gu Showed Her Extraordinary Power Again: 1 VS 5!"

"Who sent you here?" Gu Ning asked angrily.

"No, no one," the man answered.

"Really?" Gu Ning apparently didn't believe it. She pressed the man's hand with more force. The man almost cried. The others didn't dare to come up and stop her, but they did threaten her.

One of them said, "Let him go! We're from the Qing Gang. If you dare to have bad blood with us, you'll be unable to bear the consequences of failure!"

Qing Gang?

Gu Ning frowned slightly. Qing Gang again.

Was it Li Zhenzhen? However, Li Zhenzhen was in City G now. She probably wouldn't be able to hurt Gu Ning in City F.

Then who would behind this? Gu Xiaoxiao, Chen Ziyao, Shao Feifei, or Qin Zheng?

Except for those names, Gu Ning couldn't think of any others.

At the same time, those students all drew in a deep breath when they heard that those hoodlums were from the Qing Gang.

"So what? The Qing Gang can randomly kidnap people?" Gu Ning sneered. She didn't seem scared at all. She was too annoyed to be afraid now.

Everyone was surprised that Gu Ning wasn't afraid of the Qing Gang.

"You…" Those hoodlums suddenly didn't know what to say.

Meanwhile, someone uploaded more videos titled "A Female Student Beats Down Five Men From The Qing Gang".

Gu Ning added, "I'll give you one chance. You either tell me who is behind this, or I'll call the police."

Hearing that, those hoodlums looked terrified. Although they were from the Qing Gang, they weren't important at all. Their boss had also warned them. If they dared to cause any trouble, the Qing Gang wouldn't help them.

Of course, if they stayed quiet, they would be safe.

During these years, they had done many bad things. However, they also knew who they could bully and who they should stay away from.

Lin Yuehao had told them that this female student was merely a poor kid, and they would be fine. However, now it seemed totally different.

Those hoodlums didn't think that Lin Yuehao had lied to them, because once they were in trouble, Lin Yuehao couldn't get away with it either.

If Gu Ning called the police, they could end up in jail. It was impossible for them to run away now. Therefore, they were about to tell Gu Ning who was behind this.

Chapter 130: Almighty Goddess Gu

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Right at that moment, there was a noise in the van. Gu Ning immediately kicked the man in her hand away. She then went to the van and opened its door.

In the car, Lin Yuehao was nervous that those hoodlums would tell Gu Ning that he was behind this, but he accidentally made some noise and was discovered by Gu Ning.

When Gu Ning saw Lin Yuehao, she knew who was behind this without asking.

She had only met Lin Yuehao several times, but she had never had an argument with him. He must have done this for Gu Xiaoxiao.

Those hoodlums were actually going to betray Lin Yuehao so seeing that he exposed himself they were all relieved. They were close after all. It was difficult for them to betray him, but if they had to choose between themselves and Lin Yuehao, they definitely would choose themselves.

"Um, It's not me. It's Gu Xiaoxiao who asked me to do this. Please forgive me and punish her." Lin Yuehao was a hoodlum, but he was also a coward. He would yield to those with power.

He even betrayed his cousin.

Gu Ning had shocked all of them, and no one dared to irritate her now.

At the same time, there was another post that appeared in their school forum titled "The Man Alleges That Gu Xiaoxiao Is Behind This".

Gu Ning took out her phone to record. With the camera aimed at Lin Yuehao, she asked coldly, "Say it again. Who asked you to hurt me? Why did she do that? And what did she ask you to do to me?"

"I…"

Facing Gu Ning's phone, Lin Yuehao hesitated. He knew that once Gu Ning recorded what he said, he couldn't deny it anymore. It would ruin his relationship with Gu Xiaoxiao, but Lin Yuehao felt threatened and terrified under the pressure from Gu Ning. He had to say it out, "It's Gu Xiaoxiao. She called me and said that you'd beaten her. She wanted us to rape you."

To rape her?

Heariing that, everyone was shocked. Gu Xiaoxiao was so malicious!

Although the times were different now and no one would criticize a girl who had sex before she got married, but rape was evil! If a girl was raped by strangers, her life would be ruined. No one could bear the result.

Gu Ning let them go in the end, not because she forgave them, but because she couldn't beat them to death after all.

If they were dead under her hands, she had to take the responsibility. If she called the police, they would probably be in jail for several days at the most. She would also be punished for fighting. Thus she ended it for now.

As for Gu Xiaoxiao, Gu Ning would let her pay for it.

Gu Ning uploaded the video to the forum.

Within several minutes, the video went viral on the Internet. After watching the videos, everyone was astonished.

"Wow, my almighty goddess Gu! She beat down five men outside our school within minutes!"

"Where?"

"On the school forum."

"Jesus, she is so awesome!"

…

Gu Xiaoxiao also noticed that her scheme went public.

When she found out that Gu Ning could easily beat those hoodlums down, she was extremely upset. Meanwhile, she was nervous that she would be exposed.

Qin Zheng frowned tightly with mixed emotions. He didn't know whether he felt disappointed to see that Gu Ning was safe, or whether he was concerned about her safety. Of course, he had no idea that Gu Xiaoxiao was behind this. He only felt confused about whom Gu Ning had bad blood with.

"Who is behind this? Five hoodlums attacked Gu Ning at the same time!" Zhang Yiming asked puzzled.

"Who knows. Unfortunately, she has survived. I dislike her being so proud," Fu Mingliang said.

"Wow, she is so confident. She isn't even afraid of the Qing Gang!"

"Exactly! I admire her!"

"I think she is being arrogant."

"I don't believe that she can beat the Qing Gang. She's doomed."

…

It was the Qing Gang! Qing Gang was one of the two largest gangs in this country. No one dared to annoy them.

Let along ordinary people, even powerful officials weren't willing to mess with them, but when everyone watched the video about Gu Xiaoxiao, they rounded their eyes again.

All the classmates looked to Gu Xiaoxiao with one accord in amazement, while Gu Xiaoxiao's face turned pale. Her hands trembled, and her phone fell on the desk.

"Xiaoxiao…" Qin Zheng opened his mouth, but failed to ask the question. It was so astonishing and unacceptable. Even though there were many people with the same name, there was only one Gu Xiaoxiao in their school who had bad blood with Gu Ning. It wasn't difficult for Qin Zheng to believe it.

Besides, Gu Xiaoxiao was in a panic.

It was the first time Qin Zheng had found that Gu Xiaoxiao was so strange, so evil and so vicious. He couldn't help but think that if he hurt her someday in the future, would she punish him the same way?

Gu Xiaoxiao was bad-tempered in daily life. She loved to bully Gu Ning, but she mostly humiliated her by words only.

However…

Qin Zheng admitted that he wasn't a good person himself, but he never thought about hiring hoodlums to ruin someone for him.

Both Zhang Yiming and Fu Mingliang also felt that Gu Xiaoxiao was so strange and so evil now.
