Chapter 341 Bronze Sword and Bronze Dagger

When they saw that Master Xu was also there, they were surprised again.

"Master Jiang, nice to meet you!" Chen Darong greeted Jiang Zhongyu, but Jiang Zhongyu was in a hurry to see the bronze, so his sight fell straight on the suitcase which was laid on the table.

He came to the suitcase and immediately started to appraise the bronze. Although Master Xu had already done the appraisal, and Jiang Zhongyu believed his judgment, he still preferred to do it again, because he enjoyed it.

After the appraisal, Jiang Zhongyu also thought that they were real antiques. "Wow, it's so hard to get real bronze antiques nowadays!"

It wasn't because bronze antiques were really rare, but because many ancient graves with historical value had already been dug up and all the unearthed ancient objects were placed in the National Museum. Thus it was very rare to see them in the market. The bronze antiques exhibited in the National Museum were only available for viewing, and antique lovers could only collect bronze in the market if there were any available.

When the crowd heard that all the ancient objects were real, they were astonished. Although it wasn't uncommon that there were real antiques in an antique store, it was unusual to see so many. In addition, Master Jiang came here to do the appraisal in person. If the news went abroad, many buyers would come to acquire the antiques which had been appraised by Master Jiang.

Sometimes, people collected an antique not because it was real, but because of the appraisal's influence. It was an honor for an antique collector to have an antique which had been appraised by a famous expert.

"What do you think?" Master Xu asked.

"I like this bronze dagger very much, but unfortunately, it's not my favorite bronze." Jiang Zhongyu wasn't disappointed, but felt that it was a shame.

"Um, what kind of bronze do you want, Master Jiang?" Gu Ning asked. She carried many kinds of bronze antiques with her. Maybe she had what Jiang Zhongyu wanted. If there was a bronze antique that Jiang Zhongyu wanted very much, Gu Ning was willing to take it out.

Jiang Zhongyu looked to Gu Ning. Seeing that she was a young girl, he thought that Gu Ning came here with Master Xu, so he turned to ask Master Xu, "This is?"

"Oh, she's the new boss of Xiangyun Antique-store, Gu Ning," Master Xu replied.

"Oh! It's you!" Jiang Zhongyu was surprised. Although he had heard that the new boss of Xiangyun Antique-store was a young girl, he didn't expect that she was so young. Nevertheless, Jiang Zhongyu didn't despise her just because she was so young. Instead, he appreciated her a lot, because it was rare to see a teenager who loved antiques nowadays.

Onlookers around them were also surprised, looking at Gu Ning. To their astonishment, the new boss of Xiangyun Antique-store was such a young girl.

"Yes," Gu Ning smiled. "May I know what kind of bronze you want, Master Jiang? If I can get it in the future, I'll show it to you first."

"Very well!" Hearing that, Jiang Zhongyu was excited. "I just want a bronze sword, but it's so hard to find one."

Gu Ning coincidentally had a bronze sword in her telepathic eye space. The bronze sword was taken out of the coffin. It had been covered with Yin, but now had been purified after a day in her telepathic eye space. However, Gu Ning wasn't sure whether Jiang Zhongyu would like the

bronze sword, because it wasn't famous.

Gu Ning smiled, "It seems that Master Jiang is quite lucky today. I indeed have a bronze sword, but I'm not certain that you'll like it."

"Really? Please show me right now!" Jiang Zhongyu was thrilled and urged.

"Of course, but please allow me to get it. It's in my car which is parked in the parking lot," Gu Ning said standing up.

Everyone was surprised that Gu Ning would leave a real antique in her car. Wasn't she afraid that it would be stolen?

Jiang Zhongyu nervously chided her, "You left it in the parking lot? Aren't you afraid that it'll be stolen?"

Gu Ning smiled and explained, "It's guarded by someone, so it'll be safe."

Hearing that, Jiang Zhongyu relaxed. "Then go get it now!" he urged again.

"Sure," Gu Ning said. However, when she had only walked a few steps ahead, Master Jiang called her again, "Wait a second. Did you put the bronze sword away because you need it for something else?"

Although Jiang Zhongyu wanted to own a bronze sword, he didn't want to grab it from Gu Ning.

"No, I didn't carry it here because the suitcase can't accommodate that many antiques," Gu Ning explained.

Hearing that, Jiang Zhongyu was relieved, and he urged once more, "That's great. Please go get it right now."

Gu Ning left, but she didn't go to the parking lot. Instead, when she was sure that there was nobody following her, she went to the washroom again, and took the bronze sword out of her telepathic eye space. She wrapped it with cloth, then went back to Xiangyun Antique-store.

Right after Gu Ning left, several antique lovers who admired Jiang Zhongyu came to Xiangyun Antique-store, and bought two antiques. One was the pastel plate and the other was a bronze glass. They were sold at the price of 6.6 million yuan in total. Including the transaction with Master Xu, Xiangyun Antique-store made 14.6 million yuan today, which was the highest daily profits that Xiangyun Antique-store had ever achieved!

They had made over ten million yuan in a day before, but it was still less than today's profits. Moreover, today wasn't finished yet. Master Jiang was likely to buy the bronze sword which Gu Ning was bringing.

After about 10 minutes, Gu Ning was back. The crowd immediately stepped aside to let her pass, in case they accidentally damaged the valuable antique in her hands. Jiang Zhongyu went to welcome Gu Ning the moment she appeared in his sight. He couldn't wait to see the bronze sword, but no matter how excited he was, he didn't take it right out of Gu Ning's hands. He didn't go ahead to appraise it until Gu Ning put it on the table and unwrapped the cloth.

The ridge of the sword was straight and sharp. The front sill was narrow and the sword was relatively thin. It was perfectly cast and well preserved.

Jiang Zhongyu's hands were trembling with excitement. People around him were also nervous.

Master Jiang later asked Gu Ning, "Miss, how much is this bronze sword and the bronze dagger?" Although Jiang Zhongyu liked the bronze sword more, he didn't want to miss the bronze dagger either.

"What's your opinion?" Gu Ning asked.

"Both of this bronze sword and the bronze dagger are delicately made, especially this bronze sword. There is a Hetian jade set on the hilt, so its owner must have been a noble man. I think it's worth at least forty million yuan, and the bronze dagger is worth around ten million yuan," Jiang Zhongyu said. Actually, no matter how much these two bronze antiques were, he would buy them anyway.

Chapter 342 Are You Insane?

Everyone around them drew a long breath in after they heard the price. It was a fortune! They were all envious of Gu Ning now. Even Chen Darong couldn't believe his ears. After this deal was settled, they would indeed reach the all-time record for profits within a day! Chen Darong now thought highly of his new boss, who was able to strike big deals continuously.

"Well, it's my honor that Master Jiang came to my store today. I think that you can just pay me forty million yuan for these two bronze antiques," Gu Ning said to Master Jiang.

What? Forty million yuan? That was directly ten million yuan off! Everyone was shocked by her generosity.

"What did you say?" Jiang Zhongyu couldn't believe it.

"Forty million yuan," Gu Ning said affirmatively.

"Are you insane?" Jiang Zhongyu blurted out. He didn't mean to humiliate Gu Ning, but just couldn't believe it. Businessmen always wanted to earn as much as possible, but Gu Ning was being so generous! Ten million yuan was a lot!

Gu Ning felt like laughing, but she knew that what she had done was truly unbelievable, so she explained with patience, "Master Jiang, I'm not insane. You can just pay me forty million yuan. And let me be honest with you, I am already making a fortune from the deal."

Seeing Gu Ning being so certain, Jiang Zhongyu didn't hesitate any more. In addition, forty million yuan wasn't a low price after all. She could make a lot of money, while he could save a lot of money, which was a win-win.

"Great, I owe you then. No matter what kind of trouble you encounter in this antique street, feel free to ask me for help," Jiang Zhongyu said to Gu Ning. He really liked Gu Ning's personality and generosity, so he would love to help her. After that, he took out his name card and gave it to Gu Ning, "This is my name card."

Everyone was jealous of Gu Ning now. With Master Jiang's support, nobody would dare to cause Xiangyun Antique-store trouble anymore.

"Thank you so much!" Gu Ning of course wouldn't reject.

However, when she saw the name on the card, she was astonished. To her surprise, this Master Jiang was precisely Jiang Zhongyu who was Leng Shaoting's grandpa's old friend. It seemed that they were meant to meet each other! Leng Shaoting had told her that he planned to invite Jiang Zhongyu to visit Xiangyun Antique-store someday. Unexpectedly, Master Jiang came here today, on his own. That also explained why so many people followed him in coming to Xiangyun Antique-store. He was an important figure in the antique industry! Master Jiang indeed was influential.

In the following minutes, they went to sign a contract and transfer the money. Because the amount of money of this transaction was relatively large, they couldn't swipe a card, and could only transfer the money. When they had finished all of this, Gu Ning walked Master Xu and Master Jiang to the door. Before they left, Master Jiang said to Gu Ning, "Miss, I have an old friend who loves paintings and calligraphy very much. If you have any famous paintings or calligraphy, would you mind telling me?"

Hearing that, Gu Ning immediately realized that Jiang Zhongyu's old friend had to be Leng Shaoting's grandpa, Leng Weihua.

"Sure, I will," Gu Ning smiled.

Afterwards, Master Xu and Jiang Zhongyu walked away happily.

"Xu, let's go visit Leng now! You've been to Hainan for months, and we haven't gathered together for so long!" Jiang Zhongyu said, like he really missed their gathering, but actually he just wanted to show off.

"Stop acting! I know what's in your mind. You simply want to show off in front of Leng." Master Xu rolled his eyes and hit the point without hesitation. They had been old friends for dozens of years, and they couldn't hide secrets from one another. However, they indeed hadn't gathered together in a long time, and they would love to meet and chat with one another.

"Ha-ha!" Jiang Zhongyu didn't feel embarrassed at all. "He showed off in front of me the other day! Why can't I do the same thing? I'm so envious that he got Zhao Mengfu's Luo Shen Fu."

Although Jiang Zhongyu had a preference for bronze, he also liked other collectibles, especially Zhao Mengfu's Luo Shen Fu. He would definitely buy it if he saw it. Leng Weihua preferred paintings and calligraphy, and Master Xu liked porcelain, but both of them wouldn't miss any collectibles.

"Ha-ha, ha-ha!" Master Xu was amused. Jiang Zhongyu and

Leng Weihua were like little kids.

Master Xu was also aware of the Luo Shen Fu because Leng Weihua had purposely called him that night. Master Xu was also envious of him, but he wasn't as excited as Jiang Zhongyu and Leng Weihua.

After Master Xu and Jiang Zhongyu left, Gu Ning talked with Chen Darong in a room.

Gu Ning said, "The New Year festival is around the corner. Both of the salesmen can have year-end bonus of a hundred thousand yuan, and yours is two hundred thousand yuan."

Hearing that, Chen Darong rounded his eyes in shock. Normally, they only had a year-end bonus of ten or twenty thousand yuan, which was quite a lot to them.

"Uncle Chen, as long as you're loyal to me, I promise that you'll get a reasonable bonus." Gu Ning took out a contract handing to Chen Darong. "This is the new contract that we need to sign together."

Chen Darong took the new contract and read it with full attention. When he found out that he was able to have 10% shares of Xiangyun Antique-store, he was so shocked that the contract almost fell from his hands.

"Boss, 1…" Chen Darong breathed fast now, like he had won the lottery.

"Right, I understand that you are probably amazed, but I'm only a student now, so I need you to manage this store well. Don't ever think that you don't deserve it, because all my managers share the same treatment," Gu Ning said seriously. "However, if you betray me, you can't bear the result."

Chen Darong didn't expect that Gu Ning, who was just a young girl could be so powerful and he indeed felt threatened. Since Gu Ning said that all of her managers shared the same treatment, Chen Darong agreed in the end.

Chapter 343 Xu Jinchen's Grandpa

Gu Ning was his boss after all.

"Boss, don't worry. You'll always have my loyalty," Chen Darong said and promised with sincerity.

Gu Ning wouldn't trust a person unconditionally, but she was willing to give them a chance to prove themselves. All companies hired strangers to work for them. Without proof of time, it was impossible to know who was loyal and who wasn���t. In fact, most people were hard working and upright.

After signing the contract, Gu Ning left. Leng Shaoting had been waiting for Gu Ning for three hours, but he was as patient as usual. Gu Ning on the other hand felt guilty and apologized, "I'm so sorry to make you wait for so long."

"It's nothing. You don't need to apologize," Leng Shaoting replied.

After that, Gu Ning told Leng Shaoting what just had happened in Xiangyun Antique-store. Leng Shaoting was surprised. "Grandpa Xu and Grandpa Jiang!"

Those two masters were Leng Weihua's best friends and had known Leng Shaoting since he was a child, thus Leng Shaoting felt close to them to some extent.

"When they left, they also told me that they have an old friend who loves paintings and calligraphy and reminded me to tell them first if I get any in the future. I thought that their old friend had to be Grandpa Leng," Gu Ning said.

"Indeed! They're grandpa's best friends, and Master Xu is Xu Jinchen's grandpa," Leng Shaoting said.

"What?" Gu Ning was astonished. What a coincidence! Master Xu turned out to be Xu Jinchen's grandpa.

It was almost 3 pm, but Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting didn't feel hungry.

Master Xu and Jiang Zhongyu arrived at the Leng Family's house later. Because it was daytime, the younger generation in the Leng Family either went to work or to meet friends, and only Master Leng was home.

It wasn't convenient for an old man to hang around outside, especially in the cold winter, so Master Leng stayed at home almost every day, which was quite boring. Therefore, when he heard that his best friends were coming, Master Leng was cheered up at once. He immediately told the housekeeper to prepare two cups of tea and waited in the living room.

"Leng! I have something good to show you!" Jiang Zhongyu said even before he walked inside, he couldn't wait to tell Master Leng with obvious pride.

Hearing that, Master Leng realized that they must be here to show off. All of a sudden, Master Leng seemed displeased. "Are you bringing something good to show me, or to show off?"

Master Leng hit the point, but Jiang Zhongyu wouldn't admit it. He complained in an aggrieved tone, "How could you say that! I just came to visit you and show you something good. If I kept it to myself, you'd blame me for hiding it. What should I do?"

"Stop it. Just let me have a look." Master Leng rolled his eyes at Jiang Zhongyu, and couldn't wait to see what he brought with him. They sat on the sofa, while the bodyguards placed the antiques on the table.

When the cloth was unwrapped, Master Leng rounded his eyes in shock seeing the bronze antiques. "These-these are a bronze dagger and bronze sword!"

"Ha-ha, yes! And they are both delicately made. Common bronze antiques are hardly comparable to them," Jiang Zhongyu said proudly.

"Where did you buy them?" Master Leng asked.

"Xiangyun Antique-store," Jiang Zhongyu replied.

Master Leng was irritated and complained, "Why didn't you tell me that you were going to the antique street? And now you're showing off in front of me! How can you do that to me!"

"You did the same thing the other night when you got Zhao Mengfu's Luo Shen Fu!" Jiang Zhongyu argued. Master Leng had called him that night, so he barely slept. If Master Leng had told him the next day during the daytime, he wouldn't have been rushed.

Master Leng didn't know how to retort.

"Ha-ha," Master Xu laughed. "Leng, we won't forget you. In fact, I went to Xiangyun Antique-store alone after I heard that it had a new boss. Unexpectedly, I found some good real antiques there. Xu is a bronze lover, so I told him to have a look, but we didn't see any paintings or calligraphy yet, so we didn't call you. However, I did tell its new boss to inform us first if she gets any famous paintings or calligraphy in the future."

Hearing that, Master Leng felt more comfortable.

Master Xu added, "We were really amazed by the new boss of Xiangyun Antique-store. Although we already knew that its new boss is a young girl, I didn't expect that she is only 18-years-old! She's pretty, able, mature and adorable. I think she's exactly right for Jinchen, so I plan to get Jinchen to chase her."

"Forget it! The girl is only 18-years-old, and Jinchen is too old for her. I think Ruining and her are exactly right for each other," Jiang Zhongyu argued.

Master Leng was also astonished that the new boss of Xiangyun Antique-store was only 18-years-old. Seeing that both Master Xu and Master Jiang thought highly of the young girl and even wanted her to be their granddaughter-in-law, Master Leng was quite curious about her. Although Leng Shaoting already had a girlfriend, Leng Shaomin was still single!

However, what they didn't know was that the young girl was precisely Leng Shaoting's girlfriend. If Leng Shaoting found out their plan, he wouldn't dare to punish the three masters, but Xu Jinchen and Leng Shaomin would be in danger.

After a short argument, they dropped the topic. Master Xu was also eager to see Luo Shen Fu. "Leng, let me have a look of Zhao Mengfu's Luo Shen Fu right now!" He wouldn't allow himself to miss such a great chance to see Luo Shen Fu.

Once Master Xu mentioned Luo Shen Fu, Master Leng was proud again. He told the housekeeper to fetch it.

"Let me be honest with you. In fact, Luo Shen Fu isn't a gift from Shaoting," Master Leng said like it was a big secret.

"Then who gave it to you?" Master Xu and Master Jiang were curious.

"Shaoting's girlfriend," Master Leng replied proudly.

Chapter 344 Meet Qi Ziyue and Tang Yaxin Again

"What?"

Hearing that, both Master Xu and Jiang Zhongyu were greatly surprised. "Shaoting has a girlfriend?"

"Yes!" Master Leng was obviously happy. He had always been worried about Leng Shaoting's marriage. Since Leng Shaoting was willing to have a girlfriend now, he was more relaxed.

"Wow, it's really surprising! Tell us more about the girl. We're both curious to see what kind of girl can win Shaoting's heart," Jiang Zhongyu asked without delay.

"I haven't met her yet! Shaoting won't allow me to investigate her," saying that, Master Leng felt slightly upset.

Um… Master Xu and Jiang Zhongyu were surprised once more, but they were aware that Leng Shaoting never liked anyone else being involved in his personal affairs.

"Ha-ha! Leng, do you feel upset?" Master Xu and Jiang Zhongyu laughed out loud, while Master Leng forced a smile. He couldn't help blaming Leng Shaoting for making him lose face.

Gu Ning had stayed in the capital for six days, and it was the time for her to leave.

"Shaoting, I have to go home tomorrow," Gu Ning said to Leng Shaoting during the meal. Hearing that, Leng Shaoting suddenly lost his appetite, and remained silent. Although he knew that Gu Ning would stay in the capital for a week at the most, he was reluctant to be apart from her. Most importantly, he couldn't leave with her.

"You've kept my company for so many days, and you should go back to work," Gu Ning added.

Gu Ning was unwilling to be apart from Leng Shaoting too, but she thought that their careers were as important as their relationship, so she believed that Leng Shaoting had to go back to work now.

"Sure," Leng Shaoting answered. "When is your flight tomorrow?"

"In the morning. I'll fly to City G to deal with something first," Gu Ning replied.

Knowing that Gu Ning was going to City G, Leng Shaoting was displeased. Especially when Gu Ning said that she was going to deal with something there, he was concerned that she would turn to Situ Ye.

Gu Ning understood what was on Leng Shaoting's mind, but she couldn't promise not to meet Situ Ye just because he wasn't happy about it. She wasn't sure whether she would meet Situ Ye in City G. It all depended. Moreover, Gu Ning wouldn't cut off the connection with Situ Ye just because he liked her. They were friends after all, and she needed the Qing Gang's support. However, she absolutely wouldn't give Situ Ye any chances or flirt with him. She would reject him once he told her about his feelings towards her. And it would be up to Situ Ye whether he would still want to be her friend after she rejected him. If he hated her or even picked on her afterwards, she wouldn't stay quiet and would fight back.

After the meal, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went to check on the office building before they went back to Leng Shaoting's house.

The moment that they were back in the house, Leng Shaoting pressed Gu Ning against the bed and kissed her wildly to vent his emotions. As the kiss progressed, Leng Shaoting got sexually excited from touching Gu Ning's body. Gu Ning immediately stopped him. "Shaoting, I'm still on my period!" What Gu Ning had just said was like a bucket of cold water poured on Leng Shaoting from head to toe, but his sexual desire was still burning. Of course, he wasn't willing to hurt her, but he was unwilling to take a cold shower either. In the end, he made a decision to punish her by making her use her hands.

Gu Ning's face turned completely red. She knew that Leng Shaoting did it on purpose, but she couldn't refuse to do it, because she wanted him to be comfortable too. After a long time, Gu Ning's hands were sore, and Leng Shaoting gradually calmed down.

In fact, Gu Ning could use her power, but she didn't, because it would be meaningless.

Jiang Zhongyu went back to the Jiang Family's house, and told his family that Leng Shaoting had a girlfriend during the meal. Jiang Zhenghua suddenly said, "Oh, isn't she the one who rescued Haoyang? I bet she's Leng Shaoting's girlfriend."

"What? The girl who rescued Haoyang is Shaoting's girlfriend?" Hearing that, the members of the Jiang Family were astonished.

"Are you sure?" Jiang Zhongyu asked.

"Not 100%, but I saw that Leng Shaoting cared about her very much. And he was holding her hand at the side of the patient bed the entire time in the hospital," Jiang Zhenghua said.

"Then it could be true. Shaoting never gets close to a female. It really surprises me that Shaoting's girlfriend rescued Haoyang. I think that she isn't simple at all according to her agility." Jiang Zhongyu was curious about Leng Shaoting's girlfriend now. Leng Weihua didn't mention that today, maybe he didn't know about it either.

Around 7 pm, Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning went out to have dinner together.

Leng Shaoting drove Gu Ning to the Trade Center, and went into a private room of a western restaurant.

Just as they went inside, but the door wasn't closed yet, Gu Ning heard familiar voices from outside. She was surprised and looked forward. Unexpectedly, she saw two faces that she could not be more familiar with. And her face turned cold unconsciously.

Qi Ziyue, Tang Yaxin, what a coincidence! Actually, she hadn't planned to act against them this time, so she didn't pay attention to them, but since she met them by accident today, it would be a shame if she still did nothing.

Leng Shaoting sensed Gu Ning's the emotional change at the very beginning. He followed her gaze to look ahead. Although he just saw their backs, he recognized them as the people who had competed with him for Xu Beihong's The Injured Lion. Leng Shaoting always had the feeling that Gu Ning had strong animosity against those two people. He thought that there must be a grudge between them, but he didn't know any details.

Gu Ning quickly went back to normal, but she used her Jade Eyes to follow them. Coincidentally, Qi Ziyue and Tang Yaxin sat in the room adjacent theirs.

Gu Ning drew her sight back and thought about how to teach them a lesson.

In fact, it was so easy for Gu Ning to kill them right now, but Gu Ning had no intention to let them die so easily. They cared about fortune and fame so much, so she would destroy their fortune and fame before pushing them towards death step by step.

Chapter 345 Teaching Tang Yaxin a Lesson

Moreover, Gu Ning wouldn't hurt herself during her revenge, because she had family and a boyfriend. She had to make allowances for the result.

Gu Ning checked on what they were doing in the private room next door every once in a while with her Jade Eyes.

Before long, Tang Yaxin stood up and left. Gu Ning's gaze followed her into the ladies' room. Gu Ning felt like it was a great chance, so she went to the ladies' room too.

When Gu Ning went in the ladies' room, there was nobody else around. She used her Jade Eyes to find the toilet compartment that Tang Yaxin was in before she took out a bottle of cleansing oil and poured it on the ground in front of it. After that, Gu Ning hid in the opposite toilet compartment.

Soon, Tang Yaxin pushed the door open, stepped on the cleansing oil, and slipped backwards with a scream.

With a loud sound, Tang Yaxin hit the toilet which was flushing and the water kept washing against her back.

The loud noise attracted a lot of attention from other women in other toilet compartments, and they all walked out at once, Gu Ning included.

"Miss, are you alright?" Gu Ning immediately stepped forward. "Let me help you, ah!" However, just as Gu Ning walked to the door, she slipped too, and flew at Tang Yaxin with a scream. Tang Yaxin was injured again, and could barely utter a word because of the great pain.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, miss. I didn't do it on purpose; I just wanted to help you!" Gu Ning pretended to be panicked. She stood up and apologized at once.

At the same time, she also thought that it was disgusting, because she just slipped in the toilet too in order to hurt Tang Yaxin. Although Tang Yaxin was beneath her, it was still disgusting. However, nobody was in a worse condition than Tang Yaxin now. It was extremely painful, disgusting and irritating to her, but she wasn't able to stand up on her own.

Tang Yaxin's loud scream also attracted a lot of attention from people who were at the private rooms near the ladies' room. Many of them came to check on what was going on.

Leng Shaoting and Qi Ziyue walked out as well.

Leng Shaoting merely wanted to see what had happened, but Qi Ziyue recognized that it was Tang Yaxin's voice.

The cleaner came into the ladies' room before anyone else did. She avoided the oil on the ground and helped Tang Yaxin get up.

"You…" Tang Yaxin glared at Gu Ning after getting back to her feet, but couldn't say a word because of the great pain that she was in.

Gu Ning lowered her head like she was innocent, but actually she was laughing to herself.

Leng Shaoting was worried after he found out that the agonized scream was from the ladies' room, because Gu Ning had just gone there.

However, before he went to ask for details, a woman who was supported by two other women came walking out of the ladies' room, followed by Gu Ning and other women.

"Yaxin, what happened?" Qi Ziyue ran to her and held Tang Yaxin.

The cleaner explained, "This lady just fell in the ladies' room."

"Come on, let's go to the hospital." Qi Ziyue put Tang Yaxin on his back without hesitation and left at once.

Seeing the scene in which Qi Ziyue carried Tang Yaxin, leaving in a hurry, there was a touch of gloating that flashed through Gu Ning's eyes, which was caught by Leng Shaoting. He had a feeling that Gu Ning had to have been involved in the "accident".

The other people dispersed, and Gu Ning went back to the private room along with Leng Shaoting. After they were both seated, Leng Shaoting asked, "Was it you?"

"Yes," Gu Ning admitted.

Leng Shaoting wanted to say something, but didn't say it. He wanted to know why, but didn't want to annoy Gu Ning if it was private.

Gu Ning understood what was on Leng Shaoting's mind. "If you want to ask me anything, just ask." "What grudge between you two made you do it? Kissmanga(.)in It seems like you have strong animosity against her every time she appears in your sight. I'm not trying to invade your privacy, but I'm worried about you."

He suddenly felt that maybe he had respected Gu Ning's privacy too much because he had no idea about her enemies. As Gu Ning's boyfriend, he was supposed to be aware of both her friends and her enemies, so that he could help her.

"I hate them to death," Gu Ning said, but she didn't tell Leng Shaoting the whole truth. "I know that you've always been confused about why I'm so skillful at fighting as a senior high school student. Let me tell you the reason now. It's because of my tutor. Her name is Tang Aining. She was the daughter of the Tang Family in the capital. The woman you just saw is her half-sister." Saying that, Gu Ning was obviously mad. Thinking of what had happened to her in her previous incarnation, she was full of anger.

"Ten years ago, because Tang Yaxin's mother had deliberately gotten involved in her marriage, my tutor, Tang Aining's mother was caught in a car accident due to a mental breakdown and was in a vegetative state. After that, Tang Yaxin and her mother replaced my tutor Tang Aining and her mother in her family. My poor tutor was dumped by her father into a dark killer organization for strict training, and she had to do many dirty deeds for the Tang Family afterwards."

"She wasn't willing to do so, but her mother was in her father's hands. If she disobeyed her father's orders, her father would kill her mother. She did many terrible things, but she rescued me and taught me kung fu. In my eyes, she's my family, but she was killed by her half-sister. Thus I must get revenge for her!"

Gu Ning felt like crying now, and she even trembled in anger and sadness with her eyes full of deep hatred.

Leng Shaoting came over and held her in his arms. "Don't worry. I'll help you."

"No, I'll do in myself," Gu Ning said with determination.

"Fine, but if you need anything, let me know," Leng Shaoting said. He understood that Gu Ning could only vent her anger by doing it on her own.

Within seconds, Gu Ning calmed down. After the meal, they went to watch a movie before going back home.

As for Tang Yaxin, her pain was finally alleviated, and she was able to speak like normal. She shouted in anger about making complaints against the restaurant because there was oil on the ground in the ladies' room, but she was stopped by Qi Ziyue.

est

They had already left the restaurant, and the oil would have been cleaned. Without proof, they couldn't make the complaint. Even if they successfully complained, an apology was the most that they could get which was meaningless.

Chapter 346 The Fight

The next day, Gu Ning got up at seven am to catch her plane which would take off at 9 am. Leng Shaoting had already prepared breakfast for her. After breakfast, he drove her to the airport.

When they were about to separate, Leng Shaoting gave Gu Ning a key. "This is the key to my house. I don't stay in the capital all the time, but you can use it if you come here in the future."

It showed his affection towards Gu Ning that he was willing to give her the key. Gu Ning took it without hesitation. She wouldn't reject free high-end accommodations. However, she was going to buy her own house when she went to the university in the capital, which would give her a true sense of belonging.

Leng Shaoting had worried that Gu Ning wouldn't take the key, but now he relaxed and felt happy.

"I'll leave now," Gu Ning reluctantly said to Leng Shaoting

"I'll visit you after the New Year festival if I'm free." Leng Shaoting was unwilling to leave her too, and he would rather tie her to his body so that they could be together forever.

"Great," Gu Ning said, then she left. She went into the lounge, but it still was more than 10 minutes away from the departure time. Gu Ning thought for a while before calling Zhou Zhenghong. Zhou Zhenghong had nothing special to deal with today, so Gu Ning told him to pick her up at the airport of City G. Zhou Zhenghong of course wouldn't turn her down.

After Gu Ning was gone, Leng Shaoting went back to the Leng Family's house and gave his grandpa The Injured Lion.

Master Leng beamed with pleasure seeing The Injured Lion. However, once Master Leng heard that Leng Shaoting was going to leave for the military base soon, he was displeased and complained, "Do you seriously take this place as a hotel? Oh, no, you would at least stay at a hotel for a couple of days, but you've never stayed or even eaten at home during the days that you've been in the capital."

Leng Shaoting understood that it was his fault that he hadn't spent much time with his grandpa, so he said, "Well, then I'll have lunch at home today before I leave."

Hearing that, Master Leng was cheered up at once. "Very well! Come on, let's play chess together." It had been a long time since they had played chess together while chatting and drinking tea.

The plane that Gu Ning took landed at the airport of City G at around 12 pm. The moment she got off the plane, she called Leng Shaoting first and told him that she had arrived.

At this time, Leng Shaoting had just finished lunch and had left the Leng Family's house. "Great. I'm going to the military base now, and I can't use the phone while I'm on the base, so I'll call once I'm free."

"Alright, take care of yourself," Gu Ning said.

She understood that any mobile phones or other equipment for communication were banned on the military base, in case enemies could figure out their location by tracking the satellite signals. Even if Leng Shaoting didn't turn off his phone in the base, he still wouldn't have reception there.

"You too, and I'll miss you," Leng Shaoting replied.

"Me too," Gu Ning said.

After a short time of talking, they hung up.

When Gu Ning walked out of the exit, Zhou Zhenghong immediately walked forward to welcome her, "Nice to meet you, boss!"

"Nice to meet you too, Uncle Zhou," Gu Ning.

"Please follow me this way," Zhou Zhenghong said.

After they were in the car, Zhou Zhenghong said, "Boss, let's go have a meal first!" It was almost 12:30 am, and Gu Ning had to be hungry.

"Alright," Gu Ning said.

"Where are we going after the meal? I can decide where we'll dine then," Zhou Zhenghong asked.

"To the factory," Gu Ning said.

"No problem." Zhou Zhenghong drove to the direction of their factory at once. However, when they were passing an office building, they saw that a group of people were fighting. To be specific, a group of security guards were beating another group of men who were in ordinary clothes. There were approximately 50 of them in total.

All the security guards had steel sticks in hands, while those who were in ordinary clothes were empty-handed and were generally injured. It was very brutal that the security guards were beating them in public like that!

However, when Gu Ning noticed the company board with the name, Hongyun Real Estate on it, she realized why those security guards were so violent, and the reason for this mess.

She told Zhou Zhenghong to park the car at the roadside and made up her mind to get involved.

Although those migrant workers were employees of Hongyun Real Estate, and it was to Gu Ning's advantage that the company was in a mess now, those migrant workers were innocent, and Gu Ning wouldn't step aside just because they worked for Hongyun Real Estate.

"Boss, what are you going to do?" Zhou Zhenghong was puzzled.

"I'm going to help those migrant workers," Gu Ning replied.

"The security guards all have steel sticks in their hands! It's too dangerous!" Zhou Zhenghong was quite worried.

"I'll be fine," Gu Ning said. "You can stay in the car and call the ambulance. Many people here are injured. If the police come later and take me to the police station, don't worry about me. I can handle it."

After that, Gu Ning got out of the car and quickly strode towards the people in the fight.

Zhou Zhenghong was still worried, but he trusted Gu Ning. He knew that although Gu Ning was bold sometimes, she wouldn't do anything which she couldn't handle.

Gu Ning understood that it was useless to try to stop them by shouting, so she directly joined the fierce fight. She grabbed a steel stick from a security guard's hand and kicked him away. Then she used the steel stick to knock the steel stick out of another security guard's hands and also kicked him away.

"What the f*ck!" A nearby security guard was irritated and hit Gu Ning with the steel stick in his hand. However, before his hand could fall, Gu Ning caught it and broke it without delay. The security guard immediately screamed in great pain and the steel stick fell on the ground.

Afterwards, one after another the security guards were punched by Gu Ning within minutes, which shocked the crowd who were standing afar.

"Jesus! She is so awesome! How can she fight

against so many people alone!"

"Exactly! It's so unbelievable!"

Hongyun Real Estate's staff were also astonished. They didn't expect that the situation would change so fast just because of a young girl.

After the security guards were all beaten down on the floor, the migrant workers also stepped aside. All of them were injured and one third of them were badly injured.

When it was almost over, the police cars finally arrived. However, even though they heard the police sirens, nobody stopped, because once a party stopped, the other party would take the advantage. Thus there had to be winners and losers.

Three police cars stopped at the roadside, and around 10 policemen got out. The leading policeman shouted, "Stop it! Stop right now!" However, no one listened to him.

"Bang!" The captain was mad and anxious. He shot the gun into the air, and those who were fighting finally stopped. However, only five security guards were still able to stand.

Meanwhile, a security guard tried to hit Gu Ning during the break, but was kicked a few meters away by Gu Ning, which shocked everyone again.

"How dare you fight in public? Get all of them back to the police station!" The captain didn't ask what was going on at all, but directly arrested Gu Ning and the others. Apparently, he did it because of Hongyun Real Estate's influence.

"Wait a second," Gu Ning said and stopped them. The policemen who were approaching them unconsciously stopped. To some extent they were scared of this young girl who was standing in front of them because she alone had beaten down so many men.

"Do you want to resist?" the captain asked.

"I did beat them." Gu Ning pointed at the group of security guards, then turned to the group of injured migrant workers. "But they were beaten by them. Thus why are you only arresting us? Can't you see that they are injured? Aren't they supposed to be sent to the hospital first?" Gu Ning was angry, so she wasn't in the mood to be polite.

"You…" the captain was mad, but Gu Ning had told the truth. Those injured people were indeed supposed to be sent to the hospital first. Right then, three ambulances came.

"Take the injured to the hospital," the captain ordered.

Hongyun Real Estate's leaders didn't come out until now, and then they told others to support the injured to get into the ambulances.

"Wait!" Gu Ning immediately stopped those who supported the injured security guards to ambulances. "I called those ambulances for the injured migrant workers only!"

"You…" They were annoyed.

"Stop being so cruel!" One of Hongyun Real Estate's leaders said in anger.

"I'm being cruel? I think that we all know what is going on here," Gu Ning sneered. "Besides, they were beaten by the security guards of Hongyun Real Estate, so Hongyun Real Estate has to pay for their medical expenses."

"And you've injured our people too. You should pay their medical expenses too!" another man said.

"No, I just did it out of kindness. I think that I should be rewarded for that instead," Gu Ning retorted.

What Gu Ning had just said really aggravated the people from Hongyun Real Estate.

"You're so unreasonable!" a leader of Hongyun said.

"Well, I think that the surveillance cameras will prove who is right," Gu Ning said.

"Who do you think you are? Do you really think that you can hurt Hongyun?" another one of Hongyun's leaders asked with disdain.

"Let's go and see!" Gu Ning wasn't afraid at all. She had the proof of Hongyun's illegal behavior in her hands now. Sooner or later she would make Hongyun Real Estate go bankrupt.

After that, she ignored them, and helped the injured migrant workers to get in the ambulances.

And then the rest of the people, including Gu Ning were taken back to the police station.

Gu Ning understood that they wouldn't release her once she was brought into the police station, unless she did something. However, before that, she still followed the policemen to get in the car.

She took out her phone to call someone the moment she was in the car. However, a policeman beside her tried to grab it. Hongyun had told them to "take good care of this young girl, so they absolutely had to stop her from calling for help.

Gu Ning avoided his hand and gave him a cold glance. The policeman was struck dumb all of a sudden. "I'm not a criminal, so you have no right to stop me from calling," she said.

"So what? Do you think that anyone can save you after you've annoyed Hongyun?" the captain asked with disdain. Although he was scared of her outstanding skills at fighting, he believed that she was merely an ordinary girl without power. In addition, they had guns, so she wouldn't dare to hurt them.

"Ha-ha, that's interesting. Actually, there are many important figures in City G who can help me. If you still want to keep your job, I think that you better shut your mouth," Gu Ning said arrogantly, as if Hongyun Real Estate was nothing in her eyes.

Although the policemen were snobbish, they weren't dumb. Hearing what Gu Ning had just said, none of them dared to stop her again. If she truly had the support of important figures in City G, they would be digging their own graves if they annoyed her.

aves

Gu Ning then directly called Yan Zhenglin.

"Hi, it's rare hearing from you. Do you have a problem?" Yan Zhenglin was happy to receive Gu Ning's call.

Chapter 347 To the Yan Family's House

"Uncle Yan, I encountered some trouble, so could you please help me?" Gu Ning told the story simply and hoped that Yan Zhenglin would tell the police station to release her.

Hearing what she had been through; Yan Zhenglin replied seriously, "No problem. Just wait a second, and I'll call them right away."

"Thank you so much, Uncle Yan. Oh, may I talk to you in person about something important later? When will it be convenient for you? May I come and visit you?" Gu Ning asked with a certain amount of gravity.

Obviously, it had to be something special if Gu Ning needed to visit him and discuss it with him in person.

"Sure," Yan Zhenglin answered.

After hanging up the call with Gu Ning, Yan Zhenglin called Li Feng, who was the head of the Public Security Bureau in City G. Li Feng, immediately called the police station afterwards. It took less than five minutes and the car hadn't even arrived at the police station yet, when the captain received his leader's call.

"Zhang Chao, did you arrest a girl called Gu Ning? Let her go right now!" his leader roared in the phone. His voice was so loud that everyone in the police car heard it.

Zhang Chao, who was the captain, was surprised, looking to Gu Ning, but Gu Ning only smiled.

"But, Hongyun…" Zhang Chao didn't know who had called his leader, so he wanted to remind him.

"So what? The head of Public Security Bureau called me in person, and he had just received the mayor's call!" his leader said.

What? Zhang Chao was stunned this time. The mayor? The girl just called her Uncle Yan. Isn't the mayor's family name Yan?Jesus! She really isn't simple at all!

"Sure-sure, I'll let her go right now." Zhang Chao didn't dare to say another word.

He told the policeman who was driving the car to park it at the roadside, then turned to Gu Ning. "Um, Miss Gu, you may leave now." His voice was even trembling.

Gu Ning didn't bother to pick on them. She just got out directly. However, before she left, she said to them, "The mayor already knows about what just happened between the group of migrant workers and those security guards. You either solve it in private, or punish the bullies. Because we all know that it was Hongyun's fault."

After that, she was gone.

Gu Ning did it not because she wanted to help the policemen, but because she didn't want the group of migrant workers to suffer. Zhou Zhenghong followed behind the police car at a moderate distance. When Gu Ning got out of the police car, he immediately stopped. Gu Ning walked over and Zhou Zhenghong opened the car door for her at once.

"Boss, are you alright?" Although Gu Ning seemed fine, he still asked worriedly.

"I'm fine. Let's go eat now. I'm starving after the fight!" Gu Ning said.

Zhou Zhenghong felt like laughing, and drove ahead without delay.

After Gu Ning was released, Zhang Chao called the leader of Hongyun who had told him to "take good care of" Gu Ning and told him about it. The leader was very terrified, because he had almost annoyed an important figure and caused Hongyun a lot of trouble. If the chairman found out, he would certainly be fired.

As for the fight that had happened between the migrant workers and the security guards, Hongyun handled it personally in the end.

Gu Ning and Zhou Zhenghong went straight to the factory after the meal.

There were three new workers who joined them in the factory. One was a designer and the other two were carvers. The three newcomers didn't know that Gu Ning was the real boss, and nobody had the intention to tell them. Thus when Gu Ning showed up, Chang Qingshan and the others only called her Miss Gu, instead of boss.

Around 5 pm, Gu Ning received Yan Zhenglin's call. He was off-duty, and was about to go home. If Gu Ning was free now, she could go and meet him in his place. Gu Ning was free, so Yan Zhenglin told her the address.

Zhou Zhenghong wanted to take Gu Ning, but was rejected. Gu Ning didn't want to waste his time, so she planned to go there on her own.

On the way, Gu Ning went to buy some fruits and nourishing products as gifts for Yang Zhenglin.

His house was located in Jinxiu Villas, which was developed 10 years ago when the house price wasn't very high, and four million yuan was enough to buy a house, but now it would cost ten million yuan. Four million yuan was a lot 10 years ago, but it was nothing to the Yan Family.

Master Yan had been involved in business in the early stages, but because Yan Zhenglin worked in politics, and had no time to run the business, Master Yan then handed his business to his younger brother's son, who was also Master Yan's nephew. And the Yan Family shared the dividends.

If Master Yan hadn't had another source of income, he wouldn't be able to collect antiques just relying on his retirement pay which was just over ten thousand yuan a month.

When Gu Ning just arrived at the gate, she coincidentally met Yan Zhenglin.

"Oh, why did you bring all this stuff to visit me? You didn't need to do that." Seeing Gu Ning coming with packages of goods, Yan Zhenglin was surprised.

"I'm the guest and I should bring gifts for you!" Gu Ning smiled.

Yan Zhenglin didn't argue with her any further. Gu Ning did it out of politeness after all. Afterwards, Yan Zhenglin told Gu Ning to get in his car and they went inside together.

Yan Zhenglin didn't tell Master Yan that Gu Ning was coming. Thus when Master Yan, who was dealing with the flowers and plants in the yard, saw Gu Ning getting out of Yan Zhenglin's car, he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Hi, Grandpa Yan!" Gu Ning smiled.

Hearing Gu Ning's voice, Master Yan was excited. "Girl Gu, why didn't you tell me that you were coming? I would have prepared beforehand!!" Master Yan slightly chastised Gu Ning.

"I just wanted to surprise you," Gu Ning said.

"Ha-ha," Master Yan laughed a little. However, when he noticed the packages in her hands, he said, "Why did you bring so many things here? You didn't have to do that."

"I'm the guest and I'm supposed to bring some gifts!" Gu Ning replied.

"Come on in!" Master Yan welcomed Gu Ning to come into the house.

The Yan Family's house was decorated simply.

The moment Gu Ning walked inside, a charming woman who was over 40-years-old walked downstairs. She was Yan Zhenglin's wife, Xiao Lihua.

"What a beautiful girl!" Xiao Lihua's face lit up with pleasure when she saw Gu Ning. Yan Zhenglin had two sons, but didn't have any daughters.

Chapter 348 100% Sure

Xiao Lihua had always wanted a daughter in the past, but her body had been damaged when she had given birth to her second son, and she couldn't get pregnant any more, which was a great pity in her life. And now seeing Gu Ning, who was beautiful, polite and adorable, she liked her at first sight.

"Come here and let me introduce you two. This is your Aunt Xiao," Master Yan introduced Xiao Lihua to Gu Ning.

"Nice to meet you, Aunt Xiao!" Gu Ning said politely

"Lihua, this is Gu Ning. Zhenglin and I have both mentioned her in front of you," Master Yan said to Xiao Lihua.

Hearing Gu Ning's name, Xiao Lihua wore an expression of shock and admiration, because she had heard of what Gu Ning had done. She was so young, but was talented in both stone gambling and antiques. She was also excellent at kung fu and had saved Yan Zhenglin's life from a sniper.

After the shock, Xiao Lihua's eyes lit up with great excitement, and Gu Ning just smiled. Xiao Lihua now appreciated Gu Ning more than ever.

"Come on in! Make yourself at home!" Xiao Lihua said to Gu Ning.

Gu Ning sat down and Xiao Lihua immediately went to pour a cup of tea for her like they were really family.

Xiao Lihua was the vice principal of a high school in City G. She was known as a strict teacher in her school, but she was very gentle and kind at home.

After pouring the tea for Gu Ning, she immediately went to cook.

"You can step away. I have something to talk to Girl Gu about," Master Yan said to Yan Zhenglin and pulled Gu Ning aside, which was quite amusing.

"Girl Gu, you're really unbelievable! You cut out over 30 pieces of jade and made 2.3 billion yuan in City Teng, but I think that you've probably made more than that, right?" Master Yan said to Gu Ning with admiration. He understood that Gu Ning didn't want many people to know that she had done that, so Master Yan didn't tell his son and daughter-in-law.

Gu Ning smiled, "Yes, I cut out another dozen jade afterwards."

Gu Ning had no plan to tell Master Yan that she had established a jade provider and raw material provider, because it wasn't a good time.

Master Yan was so astonished, but he thought that it was reasonable. Gu Ning had already cut out over 30 pieces of jade, so it was nothing that she could cut out more.

Gu Ning came to the Yan Family's house to discuss something serious with Yan Zhenglin. Thus she went to talk with Yan Zhenglin after chatting with Master Yan for a short time. It was highly confidential, so Gu Ning proposed that they discuss it in the study.

Yan Zhenglin didn't think further and guided Gu Ning to the study.

"Girl Gu, you can tell me now!" Yan Zhenglin said after both of them were seated.

"Uncle Yan, did you already know that Hongyun Real Estate schemed against Shenghua Real Estate the other day?" Gu Ning asked, although she knew that Yan Zhenglin had to be aware of it.

"Yes, I know about it," Yan Zhenglin replied.

"Well, then I'll lay my cards on the table. In fact, I'm the real boss of Shenghua Real Estate. As for what Hongyun Real Estate did to Shenghua Real Estate, Ren Kang has been sentenced and we got the compensation too, but I don't think that it's enough. Of course, Hongyun Real Estate won't give up either, because Shenghua Real Estate grabbed a big deal from Hongyun Real Estate. From what I know about Fang Changsheng's character, he will definitely try again. Therefore, it's unavoidable that Shenghua Real Estate and Hongyun Real Estate will compete against each other. Compared with staying quiet, I prefer to take action before they do," Gu Ning said calmly and clearly, but Yan Zhenglin was amazed.

What? Gu Ning owns Shenghua Real Estate, which is quite surprising! She established Jade Beauty Jewelry, and now Shenghua Real Estate. Does she have any other properties? She is a girl full of surprises! Although Yan Zhenglin was curious, he didn't ask the questions. "What's your plan?" Yan Zhenglin asked later. Yan Zhenglin clearly knew that Hongyun Real Estate wouldn't give up, because Fang Changsheng was an evil person who was selfish and cunning. No matter who annoyed him, he would set himself to be revenged. Hongyun Real Estate had suffered a double loss in the competition with Shenghua Real Estate, and it was just a matter of time before they started conducting their schemes again. Therefore, it was understandable that Gu Ning would rather take action before them, but how?

"I already have proof of Hongyun Real Estate's illegal behavior. It's enough to throw Fang Changsheng into jail. However, there are some government officials involved in it as well, so I can't do it alone. Uncle Yan, would you mind giving me a helping hand and you can also make a remarkable achievement," Gu Ning said.

"What? You have proof of their illegal behavior?" Yan Zhenglin was shocked and couldn't believe his ears. Without asking, he knew who the government officials that were involved in it were. Yan Zhenglin had done his investigation too, but hadn't gotten any solid proof. And he absolutely wanted to achieve something, which was quite important to his career in politics.

"Yes, I also have the evidence of the two officials' acts of bribery and corruption as well as having mistresses. Their amorous pictures are in my hands too," Gu Ning said with certainty.

Hearing that, Yan Zhenglin took a long breath in. He was greatly shocked. He had investigated for so long. Although he indeed had gotten something, it was barely enough to unseat them, but Gu Ning got control of so much evidence all of a sudden. It was hard to not be surprised.

"Are you sure that your evidence is real?" Yan Zhenglin asked.

"100% sure. Sorry but I can't tell you how I managed to get the evidence. Uncle Yan, if you're willing to cooperate with me, I'll show you the evidence right now, but if you have any concerns, I'll turn to someone else," Gu Ning said. She wasn't threatening Yan Zhenglin, but she also didn't want to force him. Nevertheless, she knew that Yan Zhenglin would give her an

affirmative answer.

It was the most unexpected gift that fell into his lap, and Yan Zhenglin wouldn't reject it.

"To be honest with you. I've been investigating them recently, but I haven't found any solid proof yet. You're such a smart girl, and I think you must know my political enemies planned the assassination last time!" Yan Zhenglin said.

"Of course," Gu Ning replied.

Yan Zhenglin then agreed to Gu Ning's plan, and Gu Ning took out a folder, giving it to Yan Zhenglin.

Seeing that Gu Ning had casually put the important evidence in her backpack, Yan Zhenglin was anxious. What if it got lost!

Chapter 349 Criminal Evidence

Yan Zhenglin took the folder and opened it to read the materials inside.

There was a thick pile of papers in the folder. On the top was criminal evidence for Hongyun Real Estate. Its senior management had bribed Liu Shikun, the vice mayor, and Wei Chengguan, the head of the Roads and Traffic Authority, with over a hundred million yuan, and had gotten many benefits in return. Other than Liu Shikun and Wei Chengguan, there were other government officials involved in the bribery as well. Although the amounts of the bribes were much less, they could be sentenced to years in jail.

Some people had died in a forced demolition Hongyun Real Estate had conducted, but it had refused to compensate them. Besides, Hongyun Real Estate had committed illegal tax evasion amounting to nearly five hundred million yuan within three years. And one of their construction sites had used low quality construction materials, which caused many accidents.

Apart from Hongyun Real Estate, a famous hotel of the Hongyun Group secretly provided sex services. Among the prostitutes, there were underage girls. Although it wasn't uncommon in a majority of hotels, it was illegal. And once it was reported, the hotel would be in trouble. Additionally, a person had died of food poisoning in a famous restaurant of the Hongyun Group, but it had been judged as death from a heart attack in the end.

Even though Yan Zhenglin knew that Hongyun Real Estate had many dirty secrets, he was still surprised by what they had done. Yan Zhenglin was very furious by the fact that Hongyun had gotten away with so many crimes.

Gu Ning who was sitting on the opposite sofa also felt his great anger.

The other papers showed the criminal evidence for Liu Shikun and Wei Chengguan. It was written on the papers that they had accepted bribes from Fang Changsheng and illegally provided aid for him to cover his crimes. K also got videos and stored them on a USB flash disk. There were also many amorous pictures that they had taken with their mistresses in bed. Each of their faces was too clear to deny it.

The mistresses' information was also attached, including their names, addresses, places of work, and when they had started the sexual relationship with Liu Shikun or Wei Chengguan. Liu Shikun had an illegitimate child who was already 8-years-old.

More shockingly, they had been involved in a murder too. Three years ago, the previous head of the Roads and Traffic Authority had died in a car accident, which had caused a great sensation at that time. After the previous head of the Roads and Traffic Authority had been killed in the car accident, Wei Chengguan had been promoted to be the new head.

Yan Zhenglin slapped the papers heavily onto the table with a loud sound and said in great anger, "I'm so shocked that they have gotten away with so many severe crimes!"

"Liu Shikun and the others have to be investigated and sentenced to jail, but I can't make the decision alone, so I first need to talk to my leaders tomorrow. I'll contact you then. What do you think?" It concerned different groups in politics, instead of just Yan Zhenglin's personal grudge, so he couldn't make the decision on his own.

"Sure." Gu Ning understood it, so she agreed. "However, please don't expose me, because I don't want to be involved in politics."

"I won't." Yan Zhenglin knew that Gu Ning would be in danger if his political enemies found out that she was involved. However, in that case, Gu Ning wouldn't get the reward which belonged to her.

In actual fact, Gu Ning didn't care about that.

Kissmanga.in

"Oh, Uncle Yan, if the Hongyun Group is going to be punished, can I get some of its properties?" Gu Ning asked.

Gu Ning only wanted some of Hongyun's properties, because most of its construction sites were of low quality. And the Hongyun Group's construction material company was notorious. Jiang Xu was already involved in the construction material industry, so Gu Ning wouldn't bother to get involved as well. As for the loan company, Gu Ning wasn't interested.

However, the construction industry, construction machinery leasing, construction workers, floor heating installation industry and the home appliance industry of Hongyun Real Estate Real weren't bad.

There were two first-tier cities, three second-tier cities and four third-tier cities in Province D, and its capital city was City D, while the rest were small cities.

Hongyun Group had a construction project in the second-tier city of City J, which had just started construction. It covered an area of 200 acres. There was also a shopping mall of great quality under construction, so Gu Ning would take it over and continue to build it. There were seven shopping malls, six four-star hotels, and five restaurants under the name of the Hongyun Group. All of them were located in the three second-tier cities in province D. Gu Ning also had plans to take them over.

Of course, after taking over, Gu Ning wouldn't continue to run them. Except for the shopping malls, all the hotels and restaurants would have to be refurbished. In other words, Gu Ning only bought the property rights, and would start the business anew. It wasn't hard if she had the foundation that Hongyun had built. Although its hotels and restaurants weren't very popular, it was profitable.

Yan Zhenglin didn't expect that Gu Ning was so ambitious as to take over the Hongyun Group, but since she had already made up her mind, he wouldn't stop her.

"If Hongyun Group is seized due to illegality, it will be owned by the state. Its assets will be used to offset the losses and other expenses before it is put up for auction. Since you want it, I can promise to give you priority to acquire it before anyone else. However, the Hongyun Group's industries aren't small, so you will need a lot of money." This wasn't a violation of the law, thus Yan Zhenglin could make the promise, but he didn't know whether Gu Ning could afford the Hongyun Group's industries.

"I think that the total price won't exceed three billion yuan, and if Uncle Yan is willing to give me a discount, it would be much better," Gu Ning said half-jokingly.

"Ha-ha," Yan Zhenglin was amused, but it proved that Gu Ning had at least three billion in hand.

Even though Gu Ning didn't ask him for the favor, he would also try to give her a discount given the significant evidence she provided. After the deal, Yan Zhenglin and Gu Ning left the study.

"What are you two talking about? Do you have to be so mysterious? Why can't you tell me?" Master Yan complained the moment they came out. Actually, Master Yan was just kidding, because he knew that it had to be highly confidential since the two discussed it alone.

Gu Ning understood what was on Master Yan's mind, but she still comforted him, "We don't want to worry you. You can share more leisure time with Grandpa Fu and Grandpa Bai, and let Uncle Yan deal with the problems."

Chapter 350 Cure Disease

When Gu Ning mentioned Master Fu and Master Bai, Master Yan asked, "They don't know that you're in City G now, right?"

Gu Ning understood what was on Master Yan's mind and replied resignedly, "I didn't tell them."

"Ha-ha, ha-ha! If they know that you came to City G and visited me in my house, will they get mad and come here immediately?" Master Yan laughed and was full of anticipation.

Although Gu Ning was of the younger generation, those masters appreciated her very much. None of them minded the age gap and were willing to make friends with Gu Ning. They treated Gu Ning more like their own granddaughter. Gu Ning hadn't come to City G for two weeks, and they missed her a lot, but they also knew that Gu Ning was about to attend the entrance examination to college, so none of them disturbed her.

All of a sudden, Master Yan sighed and looked worried. "Forget it. Bai isn't feeling well these days. I think that I better not tease him right now."

Hearing that, Gu Ning was surprised. ���What happened to Grandpa Bai?"

"Well, we're old men now, and we are always getting sick. Bai lost feeling in his lower limbs so he has been sitting in a wheelchair recently," Master Yan said.

Gu Ning thought for a while before saying, "Grandpa Yan, would you please take me to visit Grandpa Bai tomorrow? I know a way of massage which might be helpful."

Gu Ning treated Master Fu, Master Yan and Master Bai with sincerity, so she was willing to help them if she could.

"Really?" Master Yan's face lit up.

Master Fu, Master Bai and he had been close friends for dozens of years, and he naturally hoped that they could be healthy.

Master Yan knew that Gu Ning wasn't a simple girl, and that she wouldn't brag, but it was quite surprising news to him.

"Grandpa Yan, why don't you try it yourself now?" Since Gu Ning was going to help Master Bai, she definitely wouldn't ignore Master Fu and Master Yan. Although they seemed fine now, they were indeed aging, and they were vulnerable to diseases. Therefore, Gu Ning decided to put some of her power into their bodies to protect their organs, and help them remain healthy. However, they were elderly after all, and it was impossible for them to be as healthy as the younger generation. Nevertheless, they would be much healthier than their peers.

"Grandpa Yan, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Gu Ning asked. Master Yan was struck dumb for a second and said, "My waist isn't in a good condition, and it aches if I stand for a long time."

Hearing that, Gu Ning placed her hand on the back of Master Yan's waist. Master Yan didn't avoid her, but was instead full of anticipation. Yan Zhenglin focused on Gu Ning's hand as well. He doubted it but also anticipated the effects. Can massage really cure diseases?

kissmanga.in

When Gu Ning massaged Master Yan's waist, she didn't put her power in at once, because it might arouse unnecessary suspicion. Gu Ning didn't gradually put her power in until she had massaged for over a minute. Master Yan immediately felt the flow of coldness, which was quite comfortable. And the pain was gradually alleviated before disappearing completely. His whole body felt full of energy afterwards with the help of the cold flow.

"Wow, this is…" Master Yan was too thrilled to finish a sentence. He couldn't believe what had just happened.

Yan Zhenglin, who was standing aside, understood that it must have worked. Unexpectedly, massage could really cure Master Yan's disease. Yan Zhenglin was also excited to know that. He was really happy that his father could be healthy and energetic.

When it was done, Gu Ning drew her hands back. "How do you feel now?" Although she already had the answer from Master Yan's reaction, she still asked in person.

"I'm feeling very good," Master Yan said happily.

Right at that moment, Xiao Lihua heard their voices and walked out. Seeing that Master Yan was very excited, she was curious. "Dad, what is making you so happy?"

Yan Zhenglin told Xiao Lihua the reason, and Xiao Lihua was surprised and excited too. She looked to Gu Ning with great admiration. "Really? Girl Gu, it's so unbelievable!" Gu Ning smiled, but didn't explain further.

They kept thanking Gu Ning for a long time, which made Gu Ning feel a little uncomfortable. Before long, the dishes were on the table.

Yan Zhenglin's oldest son was Yan Ge. He was 27-years-old and had just gotten married last year. Yan Ge had moved out to live with his wife. His younger son was Yan Jin, a 23-year-old senior in the capital university. Yan Jin was about to graduate and was busy with his internship. He wouldn't be back until the New Year festival. Thus there were only three people from the older generation in the Yan Family now. Gu Ning joined them. Because there was no one from the younger generation in the Yan Family at the moment, they hadn't had such a harmonious and hilarious meal in a long time. Xiao Lihua kept putting all kinds of dishes into Gu Ning's bowl. Fortunately, Gu Ning ate a lot. Otherwise, she had no idea how she would have eaten it all.

After the meal, Gu Ning visited for a while longer. When it was almost 8 pm, Gu Ning said good-bye to them. Yan Zhenglin offered to drive her home, but was declined by Gu Ning. He understood that Gu Ning was good at kung fu, so he wasn't worried about her safety. Nevertheless, they still walked Gu Ning to the gate.

There was a broad road outside of the Jinxiu Villas, and it was very convenient to take taxis from there. Gu Ning then directly got in a taxi heading back to Clean Water Blue Sky.

Once Gu Ning was gone, Master Yan called Master Bai without delay and told him that Gu Ning was going to cure his disease tomorrow. Master Bai was quite surprised, but he was more excited. Old people often suffered from different kinds of diseases, which was unpleasant.

If Master Yan hadn't experienced it first, Master Bai would have doubted it, but Master Yan had successfully gotten rid of his pain, so Master Bai believed that it was real, and was full of anticipation now. Master Bai told his family about it, and his family were all happy for him, although some were still worried.

Even though Gu Ning had cured Master Yan, it wasn't sure that she could cure Master Bai's legs, but anyway, it was better to have hope.

Master Yan called Master Fu later and told him to visit Master Bai together with him tomorrow. Master Fu was also happy for his old friends after hearing the good news, but he also complained that Gu Ning didn't tell him that she was in City G. Master Bai then told him that Gu Ning came to visit Yan Zhenglin for something serious, so Master Fu was cheered up a little.

Meanwhile, Yan Zhenglin went back to his study and called his leader without delay. His leader was precisely the vice governor of Province D, Xiao Changchun.
