Chapter 1131 The Truth Comes ou

Leng Shaoting had told Fang Dongcheng not to reveal that they weren't strangers, so Fang Dongcheng pretended that he didn't know Leng Shaoting and asked directly, "Who called the police?""It's me," Leng Shaoting said and stood out. "I called the police for the boss of this store."

"Nice to see you, sir. I'm the boss of this store, Gu Ning." Gu Ning greeted Fang Dongcheng of her own accord, then continued, "The thing is…"

However, before Gu Ning could finish her sentence, the woman interrupted her. "Sir, let me tell you what has happened."

"Since Miss Gu is the boss of this store, I think she should tell the story first," Fang Dongcheng said.

The woman was struck dumb for a second, and felt like something was wrong, but she didn't dare say it aloud. Anyway, she still believed that the policemen would side with her.

"Miss Gu, please," Fang Dongcheng politely said to Gu Ning for the sake of Leng Shaoting.

Although he didn't know Gu Ning's relationship with Leng Shaoting, he understood that Gu Ning must be important too since Leng Shaoting was willing to make the call for her.

Maybe they were a couple.

Fang Dongcheng didn't know much about Leng Shaoting, and he only knew that Leng Shaoting was Lord Leng, the heir of the Leng family in the capital.

"Thanks," Gu Ning said. "This ma'am bought a dress in our store today, and she came back after an hour with a group of reporters. She accused us of selling low quality gowns, but it isn't the truth."

"All the saleswomen in our store check the dresses when the customers pay at the counter, so I think this must be a trap aiming to ruin the reputation of our store."

"Nonsense! Why should I do that? Do you have any proof?" The woman raised her voice with confidence. She believed that the policemen would side with her, so she had nothing to be worried about.

"Do you want proof?" Gu Ning smiled. "Great, if you insist, I can show you what proof I have, but I still need to ask you a question first. Are you sure there are quality problems with Charm gowns? If not, we can sue you for slander."

"I'm very sure there are quality problems with your dresses!" The woman insisted.

"Very well, sir, I believe you clearly heard it too. Since this ma'am insists, I need to sue her if it proves to be slander," Gu Ning said to Fang Dongcheng.

She looked very confident and was determined to put the woman in jail.

Even though Gu Ning didn't know who Fang Dongcheng was, she knew that he must be an important figure in the Public Security Bureau since Leng Shaoting called him.

"Sure, no problem," Fang Dongcheng said. He was more than willing to do Gu Ning a favor. Moreover, seeing Gu Ning being so confident, he tended to believe her account.

Even if he didn't believe Gu Ning, he should believe Leng Shaoting.

Gu Ning then turned to look at the woman again. "Ma'am, I really feel sorry for you, because I do have enough proof to sue you."

Hearing that, the woman stiffened and rounded her eyes in shock.

Without delay, Gu Ning walked to the reception and began to play the videos on the computer.

The woman finally felt scared now.

Those reporters who stood behind her also got nervous. If this woman was really guilty, they would be accomplices.

Gu Ning moved the screen to face them and said, "Please watch this video and you'll know the truth."

She played the third video K sent her.

On the screen, the woman was cutting the dress with scissors in a car.

"No, no, no, impossible!" The woman couldn't believe her eyes.

Not only the woman, but other people in the store were also shocked.

"OMG, this woman cut the dress on purpose!"

"How dare she blame Charm for it?"

"She's so shameless."

"Is she jealous of Charm's popularity?"

"She's hateful given what she has done."

"These reporters are disgusting too!"

"They're accomplices."

"They should be put in jail!"

1132 Mrs. Guo

"What they've done is illegal, and they should be punished according to the law."

"…"

Other people all began to criticize the woman and those reporters behind her.

"Ma'am, what do you want to say right now?" Gu Ning turned to look at the woman.

"I-I-I…" the woman stammered, because she didn't dare tell them that it was Jiang Shuyuan who told her to do it. However, if she didn't say it aloud, she would have to bear the result herself, which was the last thing she wanted to do now.

She did it for Jiang Shuyuan after all.

All of a sudden, she questioned Fang Dongcheng, "Why did you allow her to play the video?"

"Why couldn't I allow her to play the video?" Fang Dongcheng frowned. "It's necessary to find out the truth before we take the action."

"Didn't I tell you to help me?" the woman said.

Hearing that, other people were surprised and realized what this woman had done beforehand. It turned out that she had bribed the police to trap Charm! She was so well-prepared.

"Ma'am, I'm afraid that you're mistaking me for another person. We were sent here by the Public Security Bureau instead of the nearby police station," Fang Dongcheng coldly said.

In fact, he already figured out the reason why Leng Shaoting had called him when he heard Gu Ning's account. Leng Shaoting didn't call the nearby police station, because he didn't trust it.

"What? The Public Security Bureau? How is it possible?" The woman rounded her eyes in shock.

"Now we have enough evidence to prove that you're guilty of ruining the reputation of Charm. Please come to the Public Security Bureau with me for the investigation," Fang Dongcheng said with a serious face.

Those reporters were astonished. If they were arrested by the police, they would lose their job.

"No, you can't arrest me. I'm the wife of the director of Changyue Organization," the woman told her identity at once, trying to stop the police from arresting her.

Changyue Organization was a famous, large business corporation in the capital, and it was owned by the Guo family which was a super-rich family.

People turned to look at Gu Ning with sympathy, because they believed that she had to bite her tongue this time.

None of them knew how influential Gu Ning was, so they thought that she was just an ordinary girl. Even if some of them were aware that she was the owner of Jade Beauty Jewelry and Charm, they didn't think that she was more powerful than the Guo family.

Changyue Organization was a well-known large business after all.

In fact, if Gu Ning was an ordinary girl, she indeed would have had to hold her tongue because she was merely nobody in front of Mrs. Guo.

Fang Dongcheng, however, wasn't afraid at all, because he came here for the Leng family's sake.

"I don't care how powerful your family is, you must be punished according to the law given what you've done," Fang Dongcheng said.

Everyone was impressed by his honesty.

"You…" Mrs. Guo didn't expect that this policeman dared behave against Changyue Organization, and she felt utterly humiliated. "How dare you say that to my face! If you dare arrest me today, I'll make you lose your job."

"If you want to make me lose my job, you must know who I am first." Fang Dongcheng stayed calm. "Mrs. Guo, please allow me to introduce myself. I'm the director of Dongcheng District Branch of the Public Security Bureau, Fang Dongcheng."

Knowing that, everyone was shocked again.

What? He's the director of Dongcheng District Branch of the Public Security Bureau?

They were surprised that the director would come here in person.

Gu Ning, however, wasn't surprised, because she knew Leng Shaoting wouldn't call an unimportant person.

"What?" Mrs. Guo was stunned at this moment. She couldn't believe that Gu Ning was able to get the help from a director.

"Mrs. Guo, do you still want to resist arrest?" Fang Dongcheng said. "If you insist on doing this, I can also sue you."

"I-I…" Mrs. Guo didn't know what to say now.

She wanted to use Jiang Shuyuan's influence to help herself out, but was afraid that Jiang Shuyuan would be mad at her. As a result, she thought that she could call Jiang Shuyuan at the Public Security Bureau later.

In the end, Mrs. Guo and those reporters had to follow Fang Dongcheng to the Public Security Bureau.

Before they left, Gu Ning said to those reporters, "I don't care what you've posted on the Internet not long ago about this drama, but you must delete it as soon as possible."

"In addition, you should also post the truth out to clear my name, or you'll bear the result yourself."

Those reporters felt scared, looking at Gu Ning's serious expression.

Chapter 1133 Do Whatever You Want to Do

Even though they didn't know how Gu Ning found out what they had done behind her back, they had to listen to her now.After that, they left with Fang Dongcheng and the other policemen. Gu Ning didn't leave with them, because she knew that Fang Dongcheng would give her a satisfactory answer.

Although they had schemed together against Charm, they didn't cause much damage, so they ended up paying Charm the reputation damage compensation.

Gu Ning didn't care much about it, because all she wanted was to teach them a lesson so that it wouldn't happen again.

A short while later, Gu Ning received K's message, and K told her Mrs. Guo had contacted Jiang Shuyuan today.

It was obvious that Jiang Shuyuan was the mastermind.

Leng Shaojia must have told Jiang Shuyuan what she had been through in Charm, so Jiang Shuyuan planned to avenge Leng Shaojia by defaming Charm.

Although Gu Ning found out who the mastermind was, she didn't say it aloud in public for the sake of the Leng family's reputation. If Jiang Shuyuan's dirty trick was exposed, the whole Leng family would be affected.

Gu Ning didn't want the whole Leng family to be affected, but she made up her mind to pay Jiang Shuyuan and Leng Shaojia back.

…

Once Mrs. Guo was caught, Gu Ning apologized to other people left in the store. "I'm so sorry for what just happened. If you still like Charm gowns and are willing to believe us, you're always welcome to shop here."

"Miss Gu, we understand it isn't your fault."

"Right, it's Mrs. Guo's fault. She's so evil!"

"We don't know why Mrs. Guo had to do that, but we do like Charm's gowns and we're also willing to support you."

"Miss Gu, I'm curious about how you got the surveillance videos so soon."

"I was so surprised when you said that you're the boss of Charm."

"Didn't you watch the video played outside on the TV? Miss Gu is also the owner of Jade Beauty Jewelry."

"What? It's so unbelievable!"

"…"

People kept complimenting or asking Gu Ning questions. Gu Ning smiled at them, but didn't answer those questions.

"Oh, I think we're too noisy here. Why don't we go shopping now?" a woman said all of a sudden.

"You're right. We should leave Miss Gu some space, ha-ha," another woman said. Afterwards, they left to shop for dresses.

"Wow, boss, I really admire you right now," Yu Zi said and walked over at this time.

Even though she already knew that Gu Ning was a very outstanding girl, she was still impressed by her ability.

Gu Ning smiled. "I'm afraid I have to leave now. If you encounter any trouble, feel free to call me or President Chen."

"Thanks, I will," Yu Zi said.

She knew that President Chen was Chen Cangyi. She hadn't met Chen Cangyi yet, but Gu Ning already gave her his phone number.

Although she could get through to Gu Ning most of the time, it wasn't convenient for Gu Ning to answer a call anytime.

Chen Cangyi also had a contact list of all the important members of Gu Ning's corporation.

…

Afterwards, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting left.

When they were in the car, Gu Ning told Leng Shaoting what K had found out about the drama. Leng Shaoting believed that it must be Jiang Shuyuan's idea too. He was furious after knowing that, but Gu Ning told him not to get involved in it.

He also felt grateful that Gu Ning had no intention to expose Jiang Shuyuan's dirty trick for the sake of the Leng family's reputation.

Nevertheless, he thought that it was still necessary to punish Jiang Shuyuan. "Ningning, you can do whatever you want to do, and I'll support you."

It meant he would be supportive if Gu Ning wanted to punish Jiang Shuyuan and Leng Shaojia.

Anyway, in Leng Shaoting's eyes, Jiang Shuyuan and Leng Shaojia were merely strangers.

"Sure," Gu Ning said with a smile. She felt happy that Leng Shaoting was protective towards her.

…

Zi Beiying called Gu Ning about 5 pm and told her to meet them in a specialty restaurant. She had eaten enough beautiful dishes in fancy hotels, and wanted to try something different and local.

Because of the trouble in Charm store, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were a little late when they arrived.

When Zi Beiying met Xu Jinchen again, they somehow felt a little uneasy talking with each other. Luckily, Zi Beiying could talk with Xu Qinyin to relax the atmosphere.

When Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting finally arrived, it was already 6:30 pm.

Chapter 1134 Detained for 15 Days

At the same time, Fang Dongcheng called Leng Shaoting and told him that Mrs. Guo along with those reporters could be detained for 15 days and charged 30 thousand yuan as reputation damage compensation at the most.Gu Ning didn't care about the reputation damage compensation of 30 thousand yuan, but she cared that Mrs. Guo would be detained for 15 days.

It was both mental and physical torture for Mrs. Guo, who always lived a luxurious comfortable life.

Gu Ning was satisfied with this punishment.

Moreover, she requested that the Public Security Bureau post the truth on its official Weibo account to clear her name and Charm, because this drama already caused a sensation on the Internet.

If the drama hadn't caused a sensation on the Internet, Gu Ning might have let it go.

Fang Dongcheng agreed with it.

Those reporters also posted new articles to clear Gu Ning and Charm on social media, and they made it very clear that it was a trap laid by Mrs. Guo.

Gu Ning had told them to make it clear, so they didn't dare omit any details. Although they were afraid that the Changyue Organization might pay them back, they were more scared of Gu Ning's influence now.

Once the truth came out, countless criticisms flooded to the official Weibo account of Changyue Organization.

The majority of the Internet users chose to believe Gu Ning.

Before long, this news attracted the attention of the person who was in charge of the official Weibo account of Changyue Organization, and he reported it to their chairman at once.

When the chairman of Changyue Organization, Guo Deping, heard the news, he was mad at his wife's stupid action. However, he still had to figure out a way to help his wife, so he called his wife without delay..

The person who answered his call wasn't his wife, but Fang Dongcheng.

Because Mrs. Guo was in detention now, she couldn't contact other people, and Fang Dongcheng kept her phone with him. As a result, Mrs. Guo failed to call Jiang Shuyuan as well.

Mrs. Guo said to Fang Dongcheng when she was put in the detention house, "Mrs. Leng is my good friend. Even if you aren't afraid of Changyue Organization, do you dare act against the Leng family? As long as I give Mrs. Leng a call, she'll certainly help me out."

When Mrs. Guo said that, she was very confident that Fang Dongcheng would be frightened, because nobody dared to annoy the Leng family. Nevertheless, she was wrong this time.

"I honestly don't dare behave against the Leng family, but I have to punish you severely precisely because of that. Do you know who called me? Lord Leng, the heir of the Leng family," Fang Dongcheng said.

"W-What?" Mrs. Guo was shocked, so were those reporters. They couldn't believe that Lord Leng had called the police in person.

No wonder Fang Dongcheng came to deal with this small trouble in person!

Even though Mrs. Guo had a good relationship with Jiang Shuyuan and they often gathered together, it didn't mean that Jiang Shuyuan would help her out at any cost.

Mrs. Guo had heard of Lord Leng before. She knew Jiang Shuyuan hated this Lord Leng very much, but it was undeniable that this Lord Leng was very outstanding at such an early age.

Compared with Leng Shaoting, Jiang Shuyuan was nobody in the Leng family, so Mrs. Guo had to accept the result.

…

When Fang Dongcheng received Guo Deping's call, he said the same thing. "Hi, Chairman Guo, this is Fang Dongcheng, the director of Dongcheng District Branch of the Public Security Bureau. I was going to call you actually."

Hearing that, Guo Deping had a bad feeling.

"Oh, hi, Director Fang, how's my wife now?" Guo Deping asked.

"Mrs. Guo is guilty of defaming Charm on purpose, and she'll be detained for 15 days. I'm afraid you need to come in person," Fang Dongcheng said.

Guo Deping went to the Dongcheng District Branch without delay.

At this time, he still had no idea how serious this situation was, because he didn't know whom his wife had offended yet.

To his astonishment, Fang Dongcheng refused to release Mrs. Guo when he arrived at the branch.

He was mad at Fang Dongcheng's attitude, because he thought that Fang Dongcheng should do him a favor given his social status. After that, he tried to bail his wife out, but Fang Dongcheng turned it down too.

Guo Deping was angry this time, but he had to curb his anger.

Since Fang Dongcheng was unwilling to help him, he planned to turn to a senior official for help. After all, he had sent them many expensive gifts before, so they should give him a helping hand when he needed it.

However, before Guo Deping could do that, Fang Dongcheng stopped him.

"Chairman Guo, please don't blame me for this, because the person that Mrs. Guo offended isn't ordinary at all. The boss of Charm is Lord Leng's friend, and Lord Leng called me in person because he knew that Mrs. Guo bribed the police at the nearby police station," Fang Dongcheng said.

"What?" Guo Deping couldn't believe his ears.

Chapter 1135 My Hands Are Tied

Although Mrs. Guo's phone was taken away from her, Guo Deping could still see her. He criticized Mrs. Guo the moment he saw her.Mrs. Guo didn't dare to keep it a secret from her husband, and told Guo Deping that it was Jiang Shuyuan's idea. She still hoped that Jiang Shuyuan could help her out.

Even though Leng Shaoting wasn't someone they could mess with, they still needed to try.

Guo Deping was unwilling to see his wife being detained, which was humiliating in his eyes, so he agreed to call Jiang Shuyuan.

Jiang Shuyuan was shocked when she heard the news from Guo Deping.

"What? She failed?" Jiang Shuyuan didn't care that Mrs. Guo was detained, but the plan failed. She was actually mad at Mrs. Guo for ruining it.

Hearing Jiang Shuyuan's tone, Guo Deping understood that it wasn't very likely that she would help his wife out.

In fact, it was Jiang Shuyuan's idea, and his wife was detained because of her idea. However, Jiang Shuyuan didn't care about what had happened to his wife, but blamed his wife for everything.

Guo Deping had to calm himself down because he needed Jiang Shuyuan's help now.

"Mrs. Leng, please help us. Only you can bail my wife out now," Guo Deping said.

"Fine, I'll try," Jiang Shuyuan said. She knew that Mrs. Guo was detained because of her idea, so she was willing to make a call.

Guo Deping didn't tell her that Leng Shaoting was also involved, because he was afraid that she might refuse to help him once she knew.

After hanging up the call with Guo Deping, Jiang Shuyuan called Fang Dongcheng. She was confident that Fang Dongcheng would listen to her when she called him.

Nevertheless, to her surprise, Fang Dongcheng turned her down. "Mrs. Leng, I'm sorry, I can't release Mrs. Guo because she's guilty. If I let her go, I'll be punished by my leader."

Hearing that, Jiang Shuyuan was displeased.

"Director Fang, do you think you're powerful enough to act against the Leng family?" she coldly said.

"Of course not! Mrs. Leng, I honestly want to help you if I could, but my hands are tied. Lord Leng called me in person and the boss of Charm is his friend," Fang Dongcheng said.

Leng Shaoting had told him not to release Mrs. Guo no matter who called him.

"What? Leng Shaoting is also involved in this?" Jiang Shuyuan was astonished, then accepted it because she knew that Gu Ning was Leng Shaoting's girlfriend. She totally forgot about it when she came up with the scheme.

"Mrs. Leng, I'm afraid that I've gotta go. I'm sorry," Fang Dongcheng said and hung up at once. He was reluctant to argue with Jiang Shuyuan.

Actually, Fang Dongcheng was an upright man, and he wouldn't yield to power.

Although Jiang Shuyuan had nothing else to say, she still felt humiliated when Fang Dongcheng hung up on her.

After making the call, she felt cornered.

It was impossible that Leng Shaoting would agree to release Mrs. Guo. Besides, if Leng Shaoting found out that it was her idea, he might cause her trouble too.

Jiang Shuyuan was afraid of Leng Shaoting to some extent, and Master Leng cared a lot about him. If Master Leng learned about it, she would be in big trouble. Therefore, Jiang Shuyuan had to exclude herself from it.

She called Guo Deping later, and said that she couldn't help him because Leng Shaoting was also involved in it.

It wasn't a surprising answer, but Guo Deping was still disappointed. However, no matter how he hated Jiang Shuyuan, he could do nothing about it now. He had to give it up.

Jiang Shuyuan was worried that Mrs. Guo might betray her, so she said, "Chairman Guo, I understand that it's my fault that your wife is detained, but I promise I'll do my best to help you in the future as long as you need my support."

Hearing that, Guo Deping felt a little better.

Since he couldn't bail his wife out, there was no need for him to annoy Jiang Shuyuan, which was useless. Anyway, Jiang Shuyuan promised to help him in the future, which wasn't the worst result.

…

At 6:30 pm, the official Weibo account of Dongcheng District Branch sent out the truth of the case, and thousands of Internet users reposted it within a short time.

After this drama, more people got to know about Charm, and the reputation of Changyue Organization was damaged at the same time.

Guo Deping then realized that he should find out who had posted those articles and photos on social media in the first place.

He soon got the result that those reporters were hired by Mrs. Guo.

Chapter 1136 Zi Beiying Is Injured

It indeed was Mrs. Guo who told those reporters to send the articles and photos out, or those reporters wouldn't have dared to do that.As for the damage to the reputation of Changyue Organization, Guo Deping had to accept it.

He also understood that the Public Security Bureau wouldn't help him because of the pressure Leng Shaoting put on it. Therefore, he had to swallow the humiliation.

…

Leng Shaojia didn't know her mother had already taken the action.

At this time, she was dining with her friends and their friends in a restaurant, and she heard the news from one of her friends.

Although Leng Shaojia didn't know what her mother would do to hurt Gu Ning and Charm, she knew that it must have been her mother��s idea when Charm was amid criticisms earlier today.

She knew that Mrs. Guo was a good friend of her mother. If it hadn't been for her mother, Mrs. Guo wouldn't have caused Charm trouble for no reason.

There were no clothing lines under Changyue Organization, and Mrs. Guo had no conflict with Charm herself.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Guo and those reporters were caught by the police and detained now. However, like her mother, Leng Shaojia also blamed Mrs. Guo for it, and didn't care about Mrs. Guo's safety at all. She and her mother were both selfish people.

"Wow, the boss of Charm is so influential! She was able to get the surveillance videos of Mrs. Guo."

"I agree, but Mrs. Guo is too stupid to mess with Gu Ning. She didn't even do her homework to know how many companies Gu Ning has before she played the trick!"

This woman obviously knew a lot about Gu Ning. Actually, she was a fan of Gu Ning and she admired Gu Ning. She was a friend of Leng Shaojia's friend, so she didn't know that Leng Shaojia hated Gu Ning.

Hearing their conversation, Leng Shaojia was getting increasingly angry. It sounded as if they were saying that her mother was stupid, because it was her mother's idea to scheme against Gu Ning.

However, Leng Shaojia absolutely didn't want others to know, so she curbed her anger.

Her friends noticed her abnormal expression, and asked her with concern, "Shaojia, what's wrong? You don't look well."

Hearing that, Leng Shaojia immediately put on a smile. "Nothing, I just ate something terrible."

"Your expression just scared us," her friend said. "Have some water."

"Sure," Leng Shaojia said and stood up to pour herself a glass of water. She seized this chance and walked into the ladies' room to call Jiang Shuyuan.

Jiang Shuyuan then told Leng Shaojia everything.

Leng Shaojia hated Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting more than ever after hearing the result. She blamed Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting for everything.

In fact, Gu Ning was the boss of Charm, and it was quite reasonable that she fought back once her company was under attack. If they hadn't schemed against Gu Ning, Mrs. Guo wouldn't have been detained.

However, such a selfish person as Leng Shaojia wouldn't reflect on herself.

Even though they failed this time, Leng Shaojia had no intention to give up. As long as she found a good chance, she would still trap Gu Ning again.

…

Gu Ning and her friends chatted with each other for a while longer in the restaurant after dinner.

From the beginning to the end, Zi Beiying seldom talked with Xu Jinchen. Although they were reluctant to leave one another, they didn't show it on their faces. They went in different directions afterwards.

Nevertheless, Zi Beiying and her bodyguards soon noticed that some people were following them.

They were in a suburb now and there wasn't much traffic on the road, which was a good place to attack them.

"Since they're here, let's face it," Zi Beiying coldly said. She wasn't a coward, and was more than willing to fight back against her enemies. Besides, she wasn't in a good mood after leaving Xu Jinchen.

"No problem," Mengda said and drove to the roadside. He stopped the car at a place where there was nobody around, then got out of it.

About 10 seconds later, the car behind them stopped as well, and five people got out of it. The moment they stepped down from it, they began to shoot at Zi Beiying and her bodyguards.

Zi Beiying, Mengda, and Nan were well-prepared, so they raised their guns at the same time. They had all equipped a silencer, so there were no loud gunshots.

Compared with the five men, Zi Beiying, Mengda, and Nan moved faster and shot more accurately.

Although the five men were quick too, they were soon hit by bullets.

Zi Beiying understood that they were strong enemies, so she ached to kill them all as soon as possible. Unfortunately, Zi Beiying had drunk tonight, so she felt a little dizzy and a bullet hit her arm before she could notice it.

"Lady Zi!" Mengda and Nan were shocked.

Zi Beiying was furious when she felt the pain from her arm, so she started killing them with a shot each.

Mengda and Nan ran to protect Zi Beiying, while firing against their enemies too.

After several rounds, all five men were lying dead on the ground. They wouldn't hesitate to kill if their lives were in danger.

Chapter 1137 Fully Recover Within Several Days

If there were other people around them, they wouldn't have directly killed those men, but there was nobody around, so it was very easy for them to deal with the result.Zi Beiying and her bodyguards got back in their car without delay and left soon.

Once Zi Beiying was in the car, she called Gu Ning.

"Gu Ning, could you please do me a favor? I just encountered trouble at XX Road. Can you help me tell K to hack the surveillance cameras along the road?" Zi Beiying said. They had killed several men after all.

"Are you injured?" Gu Ning had acute hearing and she sensed that Zi Beiying wasn't right now.

"It's not a big deal. I'm slightly injured," Zi Beiying said.

She didn't want Gu Ning to be worried about her.

"Do you have the pills I gave you?" Gu Ning asked.

"Oh, I forgot to bring them with me," Zi Beiying said, then realized that she forgot to bring the pills Gu Ning had given her.

"Drive back to where we separated. I'll see you there," Gu Ning said.

Since it was an emergency, she had to go see Zi Beiying in person.

"Sure," Zi Beiying said, then told Mengda to drive back to the intersection. She agreed to meet Gu Ning right now because she indeed needed treatment. Gu Ning's pills were quite effective, and she believed that she would be fine.

If her family found out that she was injured, she might not be allowed to go outside again.

…

Leng Shaoting heard Gu Ning's conversation with Zi Beiying, so he turned the car of his own accord.

Gu Ning called K at once and told him to help Zi Beiying. After that, she also called Xu Jinchen and told him that Zi Beiying was injured and that she was going to meet her at the intersection.

Gu Ning didn't tell Xu Jinchen because she hoped that he could seize this chance to get closer to Zi Beiying, but because they were all friends. Zi Beiying was injured once they left her, so they should come back to take care of her.

…

When Xu Jinchen heard the news, he got nervous and worried. He sped up without hesitation and turned the car around.

"Jinchen, what's wrong?" Xu Qinyin was a little scared.

"Gu Ning just told me that Miss Zi is injured," Xu Jinchen said. Although he sounded calm, his hands were actually shaking.

"What?" Xu Qinyin was astonished. "Let's go to see her right now."

…

At this time, Zi Beiying and her bodyguards arrived at the intersection. Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting came a little while later.

The second Mengda saw Gu Ning's car, he got out and opened the car door for her. Zi Beiying was hit by a bullet, and it was still in her body, so she was in a lot of pain and had to stay in the car.

Gu Ning had prepared the medicine before she came here. She noticed the wound on Zi Beiying's arm when she saw Zi Beiying.

There was a bullet in Zi Beiying's arm. Gu Ning asked nothing and directly told Zi Beiying to take a power crystal first, then she began to check the wound.

Afterwards, Gu Ning put down her backpack, then took out a box with all kinds of surgical tools inside. She kept it in the telepathic eye space at all times, in case she needed it.

Gu Ning adeptly removed the bullet from Zi Beiying's arm. Because Zi Beiying had taken a power crystal, she didn't feel much pain.

Leng Shaoting followed Gu Ning and got out of the car, but he didn't get in Zi Beiying's car and stayed outside. Zi Beiying was a woman after all, so he should move his eyes away.

…

Before long, Xu Jinchen and Xu Qinyin arrived.

"How's she now?" Xu Jinchen asked with anxiety.

"We were chased by five armed men, and a bullet hit Lady Zi's arm. Luckily, Miss Gu is here, so Lady Zi will be fine," Mengda said.

"What? Five armed men?" Xu Qinyin was shocked. She wasn't clear about Zi Beiying's family background, and thought that it was unbelievable. She didn't ask further, because she knew that it wasn't appropriate.

…

Zi Beiying didn't know that Xu Jinchen would come as well, so she was very nervous upon hearing his voice.

Gu Ning didn't miss Zi Beiying's reaction, but said nothing. She knew there was chemistry between them, but it would take time for them to gradually accept each other.

No matter what, it was their own personal affair, and Gu Ning thought that it was better for her to remain silent.

A while later, Gu Ning pushed the car door open and stepped down.

Once she showed up, she was surrounded by her friends. "How's she now?" they asked her.

"She's fine, and she'll fully recover in a few days," Gu Ning said.

Knowing that, they were relieved. However, Xu Jinchen was still worried because he didn't see Zi Beiying with his own eyes.

He then moved to look at Zi Beiying with obvious worry in his eyes. "How do you feel now?"

Zi Beiying felt a little uneasy being stared at by him, and her heart was pounding fast. "I'm fine, it wasn't painful at all because of Gu Ning's medicine."

Because of the power crystal, Zi Beiying's face wasn't pale anymore and went back to normal.

"Great." Xu Jinchen relaxed, then he said to Leng Shaoting, "Shaoting, why don't we send them back to the hotel together?"

1138 Dine with Master Leng

Given what had happened, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting wouldn't allow Zi Beiying to leave alone again. They went back to the hotel together afterwards.

On the way, Zi Beiying kept thinking of Xu Jinchen. She had to admit that her heart skipped a beat when Xu Jinchen looked at her with that gentle look.

"Lady Zi, are you alright?" Nan noticed the absent look on Zi Beiying's face and asked her with concern.

"Oh, I'm fine," Zi Beiying said and flushed a little.

When they arrived at the hotel, Gu Ning said to Zi Beiying, "Beiying, you don't need to worry about the surveillance cameras. Nobody will know what happened on that road."

K had sent Gu Ning a message and told her what exactly had happened on the road.

The police also found five bodies later, but the surveillance cameras were all hacked, so they had no clues to find the killer. Without enough clues, it was very difficult for the police to find out the truth.

After preliminary investigation, the police found out that the five men were from Southeast Asia. Although they had ID cards with them, the information on the ID cards didn't match them. It was obvious that they were killed in the middle of something illegal.

Since they were criminals, the police wouldn't bother to thoroughly investigate it.

…

"Thank you so much for your help." Zi Beiying thanked Gu Ning.

In fact, even if the police found out that she was the killer, she would still be fine and safe, because they all came from Southeast Asia, and they would be judged back in their country.

The Zi family was very influential in Southeast Asia, and Zi Beiying was confident that her family could protect her well.

"When will you leave tomorrow?" Gu Ning asked.

"The plane will take off at 9:40 am," Zi Beiying said.

"Great, I'll send you to the airport tomorrow," Gu Ning said.

Zi Beiying understood that Gu Ning was worried about her safety, but she didn't want to bother her. "It's fine, we can take care of ourselves."

"Let me send you to the airport. I'll meet you at 8 am," Gu Ning said and insisted.

Zi Beiying then accepted her kindness.

Hearing their talk, Xu Jinchen opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. He wanted to send Zi Beiying to the airport himself, but Zi Beiying already accepted Gu Ning's offer, so he closed his mouth. In addition, he felt nervous talking to Zi Beiying now.

They walked Zi Beiying and her bodyguards to their rooms before they left.

Zi Beiying and Xu Jinchen, however, felt upset when they separated from each other.

…

Tang Bingsen arranged for someone to find out what "Tang Aining" had done during the past days, but he got nothing useful.

K had removed any connection between Gu Ning and the "Tang Aining" from surveillance cameras, so nobody would know that Gu Ning and "Tang Aining" were the same person.

Tang Bingsen only found the car that "Tang Aining" had driven yesterday to meet Qi Ziyue in the suburb. Other than that, he didn't get anything useful.

Tang Bingsen was shocked by the result, because it turned out to be very hard for him to find out where "Tang Aining" was right now.

If he couldn't get any useful information about "Tang Aining", it would be impossible for him to kill her.

In fact, "Tang Aining" seemed to appear out of blue, and she could disappear without anyone knowing it.

Tang Bingsen thought for a long while, then was even more certain that "Tang Aining" wasn't his dead daughter, Tang Aining, but could be a good friend of his dead daughter.

Tang Aining's good friend disguised herself as Tang Aining in order to avenge Tang Aining's death.

It had to be the truth. Tang Bingsen was very sure of it.

Since "Tang Aining" was able to hide her traces and dared to act against the Tang family, he must be alert and prepared.

Anyway, he still had several photos of the "Tang Aining", which could help him find her.

…

The next day, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went to pick up Zi Beiying and her bodyguards, then drove them to the airport.

When they got back from the airport, Gu Ning said to Leng Shaoting, "I'll fly back to City B tomorrow, and I'll stay in City B for a few days. After that, I'll go to City F to attend the National College Entrance Examination."

The National College Entrance Examination was only 20 days away. Gu Ning was still a student, so she should go back to her school before the important exam.

Moreover, she also wanted to gather together with her friends in the high school more often. It was possible that they wouldn't see each other again after the National College Entrance Examination.

"I'm leaving for the military base too, so I can't go with you," Leng Shaoting said.

"It's fine," Gu Ning said.

"Why don't we dine with grandpa and his friends this afternoon before we leave the capital?" Gu Ning asked.

"Good idea," Leng Shaoting said.

After that, Gu Ning called Master Leng and his friends, and they all excitedly agreed to dine together.

Gu Ning also said that she could cook for them in Leng Shaoting's house.

Chapter 1139 Gu Ning Meets the Baili Family

Although Master Leng indeed wanted to taste the food cooked by Gu Ning, he knew that she was going to leave tomorrow so he didn't want her to be tired. As a result, they decided to dine outside, and she would cook for Master Leng next time.As for the restaurant, Gu Ning left the choice to Master Leng.

Master Leng understood that Gu Ning was very considerate, so he directly picked a restaurant.

They all loved a restaurant with a good environment, so they would meet in a nearby mountain villa not far from the Leng family's house. It was still early, so they agreed to meet there at 6 pm that night.

For now, Gu Ning planned to go to the headquarters of Shengning Organization.

…

When Zi Beiying boarded, she sent Gu Ning, Xu Jinchen, and Xu Qinyin a message.

Gu Ning and Xu Qinyin soon sent her a message back, but Xu Jinchen stared at her message for a long time in silence.

The plane soon took off, and Zi Beiying had to turn her phone off.She didn't see Xu Jinchen's reply before she turned her phone off, and felt a little disappointed.

When Zi Beiying already turned her phone off, Xu Jinchen finally sent her a message back.

Xu Jinchen: Safe travel. Tell me when you arrive.

…

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting left for the mountain villa at 4:30 pm.

Although it only took them half an hour to get there, they were the younger generation so they should be there earlier to show their respect for the older generation.

It was only a little past 5 pm when Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting arrived, so they went to have a walk in the yard. They had already booked a private room.

The name of this mountain villa was Phoenix Villa, and it consisted of buildings in a traditional style with a large grassland and countless trees and flowers.

The founder of this restaurant must be very rich because it was very big and had a beautiful view.

Other than for its view, it was also famous for its delicious food.

People who dined here were all members of high society because everything was expensive in Phoenix Villa. Normally, a simple meal cost dozens of thousands of yuan, and ordinary people could barely afford it.

After walking for a while, Gu Ning suddenly stopped because she smelt something special which belonged to cultivators. She turned to look around.

In a private room, an old man and a 17-year-old girl sat across from each other, and they were cultivators.

Gu Ning knew cultivator had acute senses, so she immediately withdrew her look.

There was a swing about five meters away from the private room, and Gu Ning was curious to know what they were talking about, so she said to Leng Shaoting, "Shaoting, why don't we have a rest on the swing?"

Gu Ning decided not to tell Leng Shaoting what she had found for the time being.

"Sure," Leng Shaoting said, and they walked to the swing together.

Gu Ning sat on the swing without delay, and Leng Shaoting gently pushed her.

The swing started to move, but Gu Ning carefully listened to the sounds in the private room.

There was a short distance between them, so Gu Ning was able to hear their conversation clearly.

"Zongxue, I already found out that the owner of Colorful Jade Provider is a girl named Gu Ning. She's studying in high school now and will attend the National College Entrance Examination this year. I don't know which university she wants to study in, but I can send you to her school first. You need to seize every chance to make friends with her. Once you can become good friends with her, it'll be much easier for us to buy jade from her," the old man said with a serious face.

Knowing that, Gu Ning was greatly surprised. She didn't expect that cultivators were interested in her too.

"Sure, grandpa," Baili Zongxue said.

Baili Zongxue was the eldest lady from the Baili family, which was the leading family of the four most powerful families in the cultivation world.

The old man was the head of the Baili family, Baili Qifeng.

When Baili Qifeng heard that Colorful Jade Provider could provide high quality jade but limited the amount, he was curious and had an idea. He planned to let Baili Zongxue, who was the same age as Gu Ning, make friends with her.

They simply wanted more high quality jade, and had no intention to scheme against Gu Ning. In addition, they would pay for the jade.

Baili Zongxue was younger than Gu Ning, so she had to jump to the 12th grade in order to be friends with Gu Ning.

Actually, it was already settled, and Baili Qifeng invited the person who did them that favor to dine together in order to thank the person.

Baili Zongxue was very good at studying, so it wasn't difficult for her to jump to the 12th grade. Only offspring of the powerful families in the cultivation world could study in the normal people's world.

In the following minutes, Baili Qifeng randomly chatted with Baili Zongxue.

Gu Ning soon felt bored, and went to their private room with Leng Shaoting later.

…

It was almost 5:30 pm now, and Master Leng along with his old friends would arrive soon.

About five minutes later, Master Leng and Leng Shaoxun came.

When Leng Shaoxun found out that his grandfather was going to dine with Gu Ning, he insisted on going with his grandfather.

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting immediately stood up to welcome Master Leng when he arrived.

1140 You Lost Weight!

"Hi, Grandpa Leng, Shaoxun!" Gu Ning greeted them with a smile.

"Nice to see you again, my sister-in-law," Leng Shaoxun said. Although Gu Ning hadn't married into the Leng family yet, he knew both his grandfather and Leng Shaoting were very satisfied with Gu Ning. He also wanted Gu Ning to be his sister-in-law too.

Gu Ning felt a little shy when Leng Shaoxun called her his sister-in-law, but Master Leng and Leng Shaoting were happy to hear that.

"Please be seated," Gu Ning said to them then.

"Ningning, you lost weight! I haven't seen you for days. Were you too busy to eat properly?" Master Leng said. He even gave Leng Shaoting a blaming glance.

In fact, Master Leng always complained that Leng Shaoting cared more about Gu Ning than him, but he cared more about Gu Ning than he did about Leng Shaoting as well.

Although Master Leng didn't think his future granddaughter-in-law's family background was very important, he still liked an easy-going girl. It would be easier for him to get along with an easy-going girl.

"I wasn't, and ate a lot as usual," Gu Ning said. She didn't think that she had lost too much weight, but she might be a little skinny in the eyes of the older generation.

Compared with her peers, she had a standard build. Many girls thought that the slimmer they were, the better it was, but Gu Ning had a different idea. She preferred to keep in shape by exercising a lot so that she could be healthy and attractive at the same time.

"I know young girls are very sensitive about their weight, but I don't think a skinny girl is beautiful. I only hope that you can be healthy," Master Leng said.

Gu Ning understood that Master Leng cared a lot about her, and she felt quite touched.

"Grandpa Leng, you don't need to be worried about me. I can take good care of myself, and I exercise regularly. In addition, I also have magical pills to help me stay strong and energetic!" Gu Ning said with a broad smile.

Hearing that, Master Leng remembered that Gu Ning indeed had a lot of magical pills. It was impossible that Gu Ning couldn't stay healthy. Gu Ning had cured many people with the magical pills after all.

"Ha-ha, you're right." Master Leng laughed.

At this time, he finally turned to look at Leng Shaoting, but then asked Gu Ning again, "Ningning, has Shaoting ever annoyed you?"

Gu Ning was struck dumb for a second, then felt amused. "No, not once. Shaoting treats me very well."

"Great. If he dares annoy you, tell me. Grandpa will help you teach him a lesson," Master Leng said and he totally supported Gu Ning.

Leng Shaoting was amused too. He definitely wouldn't annoy Gu Ning. He didn't have the heart to do it.

Gu Ning glanced at Leng Shaoting, then said, "Sure, I'll tell you if Shaoting dares to annoy me."

Actually, Master Leng said that only because he was worried that Gu Ning might leave Leng Shaoting one day.

As Leng Shaoting's grandfather, Master Leng believed that Leng Shaoting would take good care of Gu Ning, and he said that to Gu Ning only to let Gu Ning know that she was very important in his eyes.

…

A short while later, Master Xu came.

"Nice to see you again, Grandpa Xu," Gu Ning said standing up at once, followed by Leng Shaoting and Leng Shaoxun. "Hi, Grandpa Xu," they said.

"Been a while, Girl Gu!" Master Xu said.

"I'm sorry for being so busy these days, and we can finally get together tonight," Gu Ning said.

"Girl Gu, you don't need to work so hard at such an early age. Other teenagers are enjoying themselves, but only you are occupied with work," Master Xu said.

"I have my own plan, and I don't like to hang out all day," Gu Ning said.

She was indeed very busy dealing with her business. When she was just reborn, she and Gu Man had lived a very difficult life, so she made up her mind to change their life. Besides, she also needed to pay her enemies back.

If she hadn't suffered a lot, she would have enjoyed her adolescence as other teenagers did. However, she had to work hard to become as successful as possible in order to fulfill her goal.

…

Several minutes later, Jiang Zhongyu and Jiang Ruining arrived.

Leng Shaoxun had called Jiang Ruining and told him to come to enjoy the meal together with them.

Ever since Gu Ning had rescued them last time and defeated Peng Yunlong in the fighting competition, they became her fans. If Gu Ning weren't Leng Shaoting's girlfriend, they would love to gather together with her more often.

Leng Shaoxi also gained a lot of attention and jealousy from her schoolmates when they learned that Gu Ning was her future sister-in-law.

She enjoyed it when others were envious of her.
