Chapter 1331: Han Wenling's Jealousy Towards Gu Ning

Even though many Internet users thought that Kouzi might be owned by Gu Ning, it was only a guess. There was nothing about Gu Ning in this news after all. In addition, not only Gu Ning could deal with things efficiently. Therefore, although many people had the idea that Kouzi was owned by Gu Ning, they weren't very sure about it.

When Gu Ning admitted it on Weibo, they were all shocked.

"No way, Kouzi is indeed owned by Goddess Gu!"

"OMG, I'm so excited now."

"Since Kouzi is also Goddess Gu's company, its products must be of high quality."

"I knew it! Only Goddess Gu is able to collect so much useful evidence within such a short time."

"Where are those people who scolded us for talking about Goddess Gu every time?"

"It's true that Kouzi is one of Goddess Gu's companies."

"I feel so proud of my idol!"

"Why are you all talking about Kouzi? How about Colaine? Its medicines are very popular too."

"Oh, right! I almost forgot about Colaine. My family loves this brand so much, because its medicines are very effective."

"Both of them are owned by Goddess Gu, so they have to be very good."

"I think Goddess Gu probably has more companies than we already know about."

"Goddess Gu is so awesome!"

"I wish I could be as half successful as her."

"I agree that Goddess Gu has more companies that we don't know about yet."

"I'm so curious now."

"Me too!"

"I wonder whether High-speed Tech is also one of Goddess Gu's companies."

"Probably, but Goddess Gu isn't willing to talk about it."

"Speaking of High-speed Tech, isn't tomorrow the release conference of Battle in the Sky?"

"I can't wait for it."

"I'm curious to know Goddess Gu's ID in the game."

"I'll go download it once it's released."

"Me too!"

They still focused on Gu Ning when they talked about the news.

There was no need for K to play a trick to make Gu Ning and Kouzi become one of the hottest topics on Weibo in a few hours.

Han Wenling paid a lot of attention to this news once she knew that Gu Ning had given a response. She wanted to see what evidence Gu Ning had found.

Although she was aware that Gu Ning already had evidence in her hands, she was still surprised when she saw Gu Ning's post.

To be honest, even she couldn't promise that she would be able to collect so much evidence within such a short time. It would probably take her at least a whole week.

Gu Ning definitely didn't collect all the evidence on her own, because K had helped her a lot. And not many people could do what K was able to do.

There were many hackers in this world, but K was among the top 10 in his country. Moreover, Gu Ning also had help from Gao Yi and Qiao Ya, who were extraordinary at martial arts.

Han Wenling also had many skilled helpers, but she lacked the kind of subordinates that Gu Ning had.

Zhao Wei and Du Gang were also arrested by the police. The police took Wang Zhonghang away too.

To be specific, Wang Zhonghang was sent to the Public Security Bureau by someone.

Since Gu Ning already knew that Wang Zhonghang was the betrayer, she wouldn't let him get away with it, so she had arranged for someone to follow him. Once the scandal broke, Wang Zhonghang was taken under control and sent to the Public Security Bureau.

…

Han Wenling called Gu Ning later and complimented her on her efficiency.

Han Wenling admired Gu Ning, and was also a little jealous of Gu Ning, but she had no intention to become Gu Ning's enemy. Instead, she wanted to learn from Gu Ning.

Although Gu Ning was much younger than her, she didn't judge a person by age.

She knew that Gu Ning couldn't have overcome the crisis without other people's help, but it was very normal. A successful person must have outstanding abilities and the awareness of teamwork.

Leadership skills were very important on one's path to success.

Chapter 1332: A Perfect Counterattack

If someone had leadership skills, she or he would know how to select skilled people to work for her or him. On the other hand, if someone didn't have leadership skills, she or he wouldn't be able to find skilled people to work for her or him.

With Han Wenling's reply, Gu Ning was sure that this problem was completely solved and that it was impossible for Zhuang Chuanhao to get away with the crime. No matter how rich Zhuang Chuanhao was, he wasn't comparable to the Han family and the law.

After having the call with Han Wenling, Gu Ning called Leng Shaoting and told him the final result.

Leng Shaoting wasn't surprised, because he knew that Gu Ning was able to deal with it very well. At the same time, he also felt happy for Gu Ning.

Leng Shaojia didn't know about what was happening to Luca yet, because Master Leng didn't say anything about what they had been through in City B, and Leng Shaojia had no idea how Luca would hurt Gu Ning.

Luca had promised that he would send her a message once he succeeded. So since Leng Shaojia hadn't received a message from him yet, she knew Luca hadn't finished it. Nevertheless, she knew that it would take some time, and she needed to be patient.

Besides, Gu Ning was with Leng Shaoting and Master Leng two days ago, so Leng Shaojia hoped that Luca wouldn't take action at that time.

Although Leng Shaojia didn't know how excellent Leng Shaoting was at fighting, she was afraid that Luca might be caught. Even though Luca didn't know her identity, she had a guilty conscience.

As for Kouzi's quality scandal, Leng Shaojia paid attention to it from the beginning to the end and she talked about it with her friends in a WeChat group.

Her friends weren't aware of her grudge against Gu Ning, and they kept complimenting Kouzi in the WeChat group, which annoyed Leng Shaojia. She couldn't wait to see Gu Ning in big trouble.

However, what Leng Shaojia didn't know was that her scheme was already exposed, and that she would soon pay for it.

In addition, Leng Shaojia had to admit that she was impressed by Gu Ning's efficiency too. However, she didn't think that Gu Ning was able to make such a perfect counterattack alone, so she believed that Leng Shaoting must have helped Gu Ning.

She hated Leng Shaoting, but it was an undeniable truth that Leng Shaoting was very outstanding among their peers.

In order not to see positive comments about Gu Ning again, Leng Shaojia directly told her friends that she had a long-standing grudge against Gu Ning and that they had to stop talking about her.

Knowing that, her friends were surprised and stopped complimenting Gu Ning at once. Although they were Leng Shaojia's friends, Leng Shaojia's family was much more influential than theirs, so they always listened to her.

Only Shi Yanyan, who had a close relationship with Leng Shaojia, was aware of her grudge against Gu Ning; the others didn't dare to ask further about it.

Some of Leng Shaojia's friends began to hate and badmouth Gu Ning once Leng Shaojia told them that she disliked Gu Ning. The majority, however, didn't change their attitude towards Gu Ning, and still admired her.

They were Leng Shaojia's friends, but they weren't close. In fact, they were each other's connections and were bound together because of benefits. Therefore, even though they listened to Leng Shaojia, it didn't mean that they would give up their own judgments. If it was a serious matter, they would also refuse to listen to Leng Shaojia.

…

Baili Zongyang and Baili Zongxue were also paying attention to the news about Gu Ning.

Ever since Baili Zongyang found out that Gu Ning lived in Century City, he told Baili Zongxue to move there so that she would have more chances to make friends with Gu Ning.

It had been a long time since Baili Zongyang met Gu Ning for the first time. They had agreed to share a meal together, but Baili Zongyang didn't have the chance to call her yet.

Gu Ning was too outstanding, and he had worries that his impolite behavior might alert her.

As a result, Baili Zongyang hoped that he could run into Gu Ning again and invited her to dine together. This time, he finally had a reasonable excuse to call Gu Ning after finding out what had happened to Kouzi.

He planned to call her tomorrow.

"Gu Ning is unbelievable. She has made a perfect counterattack," Baili Zongyang said.

Before Gu Ning sent out those posts, he already knew that Gu Ning could deal with it very well. However, he was still surprised when he saw the final result.

"Unfortunately, she's just a mortal, or I'd think that you two would be a perfect couple," Baili Zongxue said.

In Baili Zongxue's eyes, Gu Ning was a gorgeous business talent and an extraordinary kung fu master. She admired her and had a good impression of her, but there was a rule in the cultivation world that a cultivator couldn't marry a mortal, or the cultivator would be expelled from the cultivation world.

The child of a cultivator and a mortal would lose the talent of becoming a cultivator. Everyone in the cultivation world was born with the talent of becoming a cultivator. If accidents happened and some children were born without it, they would be kicked out of the cultivation world no matter how powerful their families were.

If cultivators were allowed to marry mortals, there would be more and more children without the talent of becoming a cultivator in the cultivation world. In that case, the cultivation world would be ruined one day.

Chapter 1333: Investigation on Gu Ning

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It was an unbreakable rule.

About 20 years ago, a girl who was born in one of the four most powerful families in the cultivation world fell in love with a mortal, which annoyed her family after which she was killed.

"Didn't you always think that Dongfang Ziyu is the best? Why do you suddenly think Gu Ning is better than her?" Baili Zongyang asked.

"I have that opinion after comparison! Although their levels of martial arts aren't comparable, because one is a martial artist while the other is a cultivator. Gu Ning is much more outstanding than Dongfang Ziyu if you compare their appearance and abilities," Baili Zongxue said.

Because Baili Zongxue didn't know that Gu Ning had magical power, she believed that Gu Ning was weaker than Dongfang Ziyu.

However, Gu Ning wasn't weak at all.

Baili Zongyang agreed with his younger sister, but he had no intention to chase Gu Ning because Gu Ning was a mortal.

"Oh, is Kouzi really that effective?" Baili Zongxue was curious. She was very young and her skin was very good because of her cultivation, so she paid little attention to skincare products.

"And I've also seen many positive comments about Colaine. It seems to be as effective as magic medicine," Baili Zongxue added.

"Haven't you done a lot of study on medicines? You can buy some yourself to carry out a study," Baili Zongyang said.

"Right! How could I forget about that! I'll buy some to study tomorrow morning." Baili Zongxue got excited.

…

The next day, more people were attracted to the news about Kouzi and Gu Ning, and they were surprised too when they learned that both Kouzi and Colaine were Gu Ning's companies.

Many people had called Gu Ning out of concern these past few days. Baili Zongyang was included.

Although Gu Ning lost her patience after receiving too many calls about the same thing, she still stayed kind and answered his call.

…

In the capital, Baili Zongxue went to a store of Colaine at 9 am. She bought some pills and ointments.

When she went back home, she opened the packages of medicine right away but smelt something familiar, which surprised her. There was magical power inside!

Baili Zongxue couldn't believe it.

Since Colaine was Gu Ning's company, Gu Ning must have magical power too!

An idea dawned on Baili Zongxue that Gu Ning could be a cultivator as well or she must have a valuable object filled with magical power.

Thinking of that, Baili Zongxue called Baili Zongyang without delay.

"What's up?" Baili Zongyang asked.

"Zongyang, is it convenient for you now? I have something important to tell you," Baili Zongxue said.

Hearing that, Baili Zongyang put on a serious expression. "Yeah, I'm in my office alone. What happened?"

"I just bought some Colaine medicine, and I found magical power in them!" Baili Zongxue said.

"What? There is magical power in Colaine medicine?" Baili Zongyang was shocked.

Colaine was one of Gu Ning's companies, so the magical power must have something to do with her. Gu Ning was either a cultivator or had a treasure with magical power.

However, Baili Zongyang didn't sense any magical power from Gu Ning, so she must have a kind of treasure with magical power in her body.

If she was an ordinary mortal, how could she get to know about magical power?

Also, if Gu Ning was aware of the existence of magical power, she must have found out his real identity. Baili Zongyang found it was too difficult for him to accept.

He didn't believe that Gu Ning was a cultivator nor that Gu Ning could sense magical power.

In that case, there must be someone else behind her back.

Baili Zongyang thought that it was much more reasonable.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"I am very sure, and you can check it for yourself when you're home today," Baili Zongxue replied.

Baili Zongyang didn't have patience to wait for such a long time, so he left the company at once.

About 20 minutes later, Baili Zongyang arrived at his home.

Baili Zongxue was surprised when Baili Zongyang showed up so soon.

The second Baili Zongyang was back, he asked Baili Zongxue to give him the medicines. Once he opened them, he indeed smelt a faint trace of magical power.

"Is there magical power in every kind of medicine produced by Colaine?" Baili Zongyang asked.

"Yes," Baili Zongxue said.

"I think we should conduct an investigation on Gu Ning." Baili Zongyang squinted his eyes.

He had no hostility against Gu Ning, and there was no conflict of interest between them either, so he never had the idea to investigate Gu Ning before. Gu Ning could be his friend, so he respected her.

Nevertheless, the situation was different now.

He wasn't sure whether Gu Ning was his friend or enemy now.

If Gu Ning really could sense magical power, it was highly possible that she had already found out his real identity.

It wasn't a big deal, but he was afraid that she might do something else to hurt him.

He approached Gu Ning of his own accord, but he had to conduct an investigation now, otherwise he would be too worried.

As long as they weren't enemies, he would still be willing to make friends with Gu Ning.

Baili Zongyang was reluctant to have a strong enemy after all.

Chapter 1334: The launch of the Game

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Ning probably wouldn't be happy about it, but he was left no choice and he could only be as cautious as possible.

…

Although Zhuang Chuanhao and the other guilty people were already arrested, Gu Ning, as the victim, still needed to go to the Public Security Bureau to deal with it. Therefore, Gu Ning stayed in City Q for the time being.

She needed to sue Zhuang Chuanhao in person.

That morning, Gu Ning was busy preparing all kinds of documents and evidence.

As for her lawyer, Gu Ning gave Chen Cangyi a call, so the lawyer of the Shengning Organization would fly to City Q in the earliest flight.

She could hire a local lawyer, but she preferred to use her own lawyer who was more reliable. It cost a lot to hire a good lawyer after all.

Her lawyer arrived at 11 am after which they went to the Public Security Bureau together.

The Public Security Bureau was already aware of Gu Ning's background, so all the policemen were very polite to her. Actually, they were her fans.

They had read a lot of news about Gu Ning on the Internet, and they knew that she was a billionaire. Not many people could be so successful at such an early age.

When those policemen greeted Gu Ning, she kindly smiled at them.

Although Gu Ning was very kind and gentle, they still could sense her air of power. Gu Ning was the founder of a large business group after all, so she had to show her influence. If she didn't show her influence, other people might think lightly of her.

However, she couldn't do it too much, or other people might have a bad impression of her. She didn't want others to be scared of her, but she must be held in awe.

Gu Ning met the policeman who was in charge of the case and handed over the documentary evidence before she left.

Once she was gone, those policemen began to talk about her.

"No wonder people call her Goddess Gu. She's as beautiful as she is outstanding."

"Right, both she and her parents have my admiration. I wonder how her parents have educated her to be so outstanding."

"My kid only knows how to play games all day long."

"I think she's very excellent herself."

"Her parents must be super proud of her."

"I wish my son could be as half outstanding as her."

"…"

Gu Ning's lawyer stayed to deal with it, while she left for the capital.

It was already 3 pm, so she had missed the release conference of Battle in the Sky.

The release conference of Battle in the Sky would be held at 2 pm, and many Internet users began to download it once it was available on its official website.

However, because too many people were downloading it at the same time, the website almost broke down.

"The connection speed is too slow."

"There are too many people downloading it at the same time."

"I've succeeded in downloading it."

"I'm jealous of you."

"Me too."

"…"

Many Internet users were complaining and cheering on Weibo.

High-speed Tech was very happy to see that its new game was so popular, but other game companies were displeased, especially Tianhe Technology.

Tianhe Technology just released a new game at the beginning of that year, and although it didn't cause a sensation, it was getting more and more attention from game players, but Battle in the Sky suddenly showed up.

Games which had been released for a long time normally had loyal players, and players with high ranks in the game wouldn't be willing to abandon it. Unfortunately, Tianhe Technology still needed more time.

In the development department of Tianhe Technology, the project manager was angry and hit a table with great force.

"Why was Battle in the Sky launched right now? Our game has just gained some attention, but we're in a very dangerous situation now." The project manager clenched his teeth in anger.

"Battle in the Sky is very popular at the early stage, but we don't know what will happen in the future," a game designer said.

They sensed a great crisis, because Battle in the Sky was attractive and addictive. Even they couldn't wait to play it.

"I want to hack into their system to ruin the game program, but I'm afraid that they're at a higher level than us, and I don't want to be exposed," the manager said.

Actually, he had always had that idea since he learned that High-speed Tech was going to release Battle in the Sky, but he didn't dare to take action.

"It's not a good idea, but do we have to accept this result?" another game designer asked.

"What else can we do now?" A teammate was in a very bad mood.

Chapter 1335: The Future Queen

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Alright, it's meaningless to complain here. We're not the boss, and we can't make the decision." The project manager stopped their discussion.

Others had to close their mouths, because it was purely academic.

…

Many Internet users began to play Battle in the Sky once they finished downloading.

Although it was a new game, most of them were game lovers, so it wasn't hard for them to get familiar with it. So after playing for a while, the majority were familiar with its rules.

At the same time, the new game also attracted many new game players, because it was very addictive.

The game required a high level of skills, so many of them lost after a short while and they went to leave comments on Weibo about it one after another.

"Battle in the Sky is the best game I've ever played!"

"I agree, and I can barely put my phone down."

"It's so enjoyable!"

"I mean everyone should try it, because you'll regret it if you don't play it."

"…"

Many people showed off their user experience on Weibo, but some still hadn't finished downloading yet.

"Oh, I'm so envious of those who have already played it."

"I can't wait to play it!"

"…"

Some people also had doubts.

"Really? Is it that fun?"

"I admit that its ad is very exciting, but I don't think it's better than all the other games."

"…"

"You'll know after you try it."

"Right, don't rush to deny it, or you'll regret it."

"…"

On the Internet, a lot of people were talking about Battle in the Sky.

Within a short time, Battle in the Sky became one of the hottest topics on Weibo.

Because of the popularity of Battle in the Sky, more and more Internet users were attracted to it.

Not everybody liked it, because different people had different preferences. Some game players thought that it was boring and gave up after playing it for a while, but they didn't leave negative comments about it. It was indeed a high-quality game, but just not suitable for them.

Some people also complained that Battle in the Sky wasn't fun at all, and that they liked another game better.

Anyway, about 90% game players liked Battle in the Sky.

…

Gu Ning arrived at the capital at 6 pm, and saw missed calls and a message from K once she turned on her phone.

K called her about an hour ago, but she was in the plane at that time and her phone was turned off.

Gu Ning read K's message at once, and K told her to play the game if she was free, because it would be great advertising for it.

Gu Ning was definitely willing to do that and sent a message back to K.

After walking out of the exit, she saw Leng Shaoting standing in the arrival hall.

"It's already done, and he's been sentenced to death," Leng Shaoting said to Gu Ning.

"Great." Gu Ning nodded.

Luca had bad luck and encountered Gu Ning who wasn't weak at all. If he hadn't taken the mission from Leng Shaojia, he wouldn't have lost his life. However, he asked for it.

On the other hand, Leng Shaojia was still waiting for his reply. She had no idea that Luca was already sentenced to death.

Gu Ning was reluctant to go to the Leng family's house right now, because she didn't want to see Leng Shaojia. She was afraid that she might lose control of herself and Master Leng would find out about it.

It was time for dinner, so Gu Ning along with her two bodyguards went to dine together.

On the way, Gu Ning took out her phone and started the game. She played several rounds and won every time. She took a screenshot and posted it on Weibo afterwards.

Gu Ning: A very enjoyable game! Is there anyone who wants to challenge me? I'm not available online all the time, so it depends on your luck.

She didn't hide her ID in the picture, so everyone got to know her game ID.

Once she sent out that post, it caused a sensation on Weibo.

Some went to add Gu Ning as their friend, while some simply left comments below.

"The Future Queen? What a great name!"

"It's very suitable for Goddess Gu."

"…"

Some people found that they couldn't add Gu Ning as their friends, then came back to Weibo to complain.

"I can't add Goddess Gu as my friend, because my level is too low. My heart is broken now."

"Goddess Gu is so unbelievable. Her level is so high!"

In the game, only players of the same level could add each other as friends.

The game was divided into seven grades: primary grade, intermediate grade, advanced grade, god grade, holy grade, heaven grade and infinite grade. Each grade had 100 levels.

Gu Ning was in intermediate grade now, so players in the primary grade couldn't be her friends.

"I think Goddess Gu must have played it for a long time, or she can't reach such a high level within a day."

"I think so, and now I'm starting to believe that High-speed Tech is also Goddess Gu's company."

"I had the same thought as you."

Chapter 1336: Gu Ning Did it on Purpose

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Many Internet users @(mentioned) Gu Ning and asked her about it, but Gu Ning didn't reply.

Gu Ning didn't reply at all, but they weren't mad because she had too many followers on Weibo, and it was impossible for her to reply to every question about her. If she had anything she wanted to say, she would directly send out a post so that everyone could see it.

Social media influencers all behaved like that, so everyone was already used to it.

"It's possible for it to be Goddess Gu's friend's company."

"Right, many of Goddess Gu's friends also repost her posts when she needs promotion."

"I agree."

"…"

After that, more people chose to accept this guess.

Even though High-speed Tech was really Gu Ning's company, not many people were aware of it.

"It's not important. I just want to add Goddess Gu as my friend, but her level is much higher than me."

"Right! I want to play with her."

"Me too."

"Goddess Gu must have done it on purpose so that more people will download the game in order to be her friend."

"I think I'll play the game all weak to catch up with Goddess Gu."

"…"

Many people believed that Gu Ning did it on purpose.

It was true that Gu Ning did that on purpose, because too many people wanted to be her friends once she made her ID public. She couldn't deal with so many people alone!

Therefore, she directly reached a high level so that only skilled players could be her friends.

It was easy for Gu Ning to reach a high level, but it was very difficult for many other people. As a result, only a few game players could become Gu Ning's friends.

In addition, she could attract more people to play the game.

She wasn't forcing her fans to download and play the game, and it was still up to them whether they wanted to play the same game as her. They were free to say no.

If her fans really disliked this game, they wouldn't download it even if she forced them to do so. Her fans had reason.

After sending out the post, Gu Ning also sent a message to Chu Peihan and her other friends in the WeChat group. She suggested they play it when they were free.

Since Gu Ning recommended it, they absolutely wanted to give it a try.

Except for Yu Mixi and An Yi, the others were all game lovers, especially Qin Zixun and Zhang Tianping.

Hao Ran, Chu Peihan, and Su Anya played games sometimes.

All of a sudden, Gu Ning thought of something important and called Yu Mixi right away.

Yu Mixi was surprised when she saw Gu Ning's call. "Hi, Ningning."

"I forgot to tell you something important. Do you want to work as an intern in the finance department of my company this vacation? It's in the city center of City F, so you can go home everyday after work. What do you think?" Gu Ning asked.

Although Yu Mixi was kind of her staff member now, she wouldn't force her to do anything. They just finished the National College Entrance Examination, so most of them wanted to relax, which was understandable. The situation would be different after they entered university.

Many college students chose to work during their vacations to earn some money. Some did it in order to lighten the financial burden for their families, while some wanted to learn some skills before they joined the workforce.

"Sure!" Yu Mixi was very happy to hear this news.

She had been helping her parents in her family's small restaurant these days, and seldom gathered together with her friends.

Yu Mixi's parents had rented a small store outside Jiahua Garden and made it a small restaurant.

Yu Mixi's father was good at cooking, so the restaurant was quite popular, and they could make about twenty thousand yuan per month.

"Great, I'll inform the company before I call you again," Gu Ning said. She also hoped that Yu Mixi could start working as early as possible.

Gu Ning called An Guangyao later and told him her plan.

An Guangyao agreed with alacrity and said that Yu Mixi could report for duty before 9 am tomorrow.

Afterwards, Gu Ning called Yu Mixi again and told her the time.

When Yu Mixi knew that Gu Ning arranged for her to have an internship in Shenghua Real Estate, she was surprised because it was An Yi's family business.

Although it wasn't owned by An Yi's family now, An Yi's father was still managing it. Therefore, none of them were aware that Gu Ning was the real boss of Shenghua Real Estate.

The second Yu Mixi found out, she began to think that Gu Ning might have a relationship with Shenghua Real Estate.

Chapter 1337: A Fortune-teller

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Ning's company wasn't in City F, but Gu Ning knew An Yi's father, so Gu Ning arranged for her to work in Shenghua Real Estate, which would be convenient for her to go back home after work.

This was Yu Mixi's thoughts, so she didn't ask further about it and accepted Gu Ning's arrangement.

After the call, Gu Ning arrived at the hotel, and went to dine with her bodyguards and Leng Shaoting.

When they walked outside after finishing dinner, they heard a female voice from a private room with the door ajar. It was Leng Shaojia's voice.

Gu Ning's face changed, but she was still able to stay calm, but Leng Shaoting was full of anger. It seemed like he would break into the room any second, so Gu Ning pulled him away at once.

Even though they were going to take revenge, they couldn't do it right now.

Gu Ning had no intention to let Leng Shaojia know that she was going to punish her. If Leng Shaojia found out, she would undoubtedly tell Master Leng.

In that case, Master Leng's relationship with her would be damaged.

Leng Shaoting calmed himself down when they walked away from the private room. They went straight back to Century City.

Gao Yi drove the car, and Qiao Ya sat in the front passenger's seat, while Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting sat in the rear seats.

Leng Shaoting held Gu Ning's hand tightly along the way, and he was still very mad. Gu Ning didn't want to see him in a terrible mood, so she opened her mouth to comfort him. "Shaoting, I'll handle it properly myself. You don't need to pay too much attention to it."

"Fine." Leng Shaoting agreed, because he didn't want Gu Ning to be worried about him. He paid a lot of attention to it, because Leng Shaojia had schemed against Gu Ning several times already. However, because of Master Leng, they had to tolerate it for the time being.

Leng Shaoting was mad, and felt sorry for Gu Ning.

If Gu Ning had no relationship with the Leng family, she wouldn't hesitate to punish Leng Shaojia as she wanted.

"It's still early. Why don't we have a walk on the antique street?" Gu Ning said, trying to distract Leng Shaoting.

There were several antique streets in the capital, and all of them had a long history, but they were rebuilt and became tourist attractions now. Now, no matter if it was day or night, they were always crowded.

The night view there was extraordinarily beautiful.

Gu Ning had a special affection towards ancient streets. Leng Shaoting understood that, so he agreed.

"Why not." He smiled at Gu Ning.

After that, Gu Ning told Gao Yi to drive to the antique street.

When they arrived, it was just sunset.

Because it was a tourist attraction, there were many visitors and shops.

Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning walked separately from Gao Yi and Qiao Ya, because they were both couples.

Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning walked down the ancient street hand in hand.

When they passed by a fortune-teller's stand, an old man called Gu Ning, "Hey, miss, do you want a fortune-telling service? It's very accurate."

"No, thanks." Gu Ning didn't like fortune-telling, because she thought that it was a trick.

"Come on, have a try!" The old man was unwilling to give up and stood in front of Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting.

Leng Shaoting frowned with dissatisfaction, but he said nothing. Even though the old man was annoying, he hadn't done anything to hurt them.

"I don't believe it," Gu Ning said.

"Well, miss, I can tell from your face that you've suffered a tribulation about a half year ago, which completely changed your life," the old man said.

Hearing that, Gu Ning got nervous.

The tribulation was the car accident which led to her rebirth, and everything began to change after she woke up. It wasn't a secret, but she wasn't in City F now.

Gu Ning had many thoughts in her mind, but she stayed calm on the surface.

"It isn't a secret that I was in a terrible car accident about half a year ago. People who know me are all aware of it. Have you found information about me on purpose in order to deceive me into paying you money?" Gu Ning said.

"Ridiculous!" The old man was annoyed when Gu Ning said that. "It's free. I don't want your money!"

"Sorry, I'm not interested." Gu Ning refused. However, she knew that the old man was very serious, which alerted her. If the old man could really tell her fortune, it would be big trouble.

Gu Ning decided to avoid him. Therefore, she pulled Leng Shaoting and walked away.

"Miss…" The old man was unwilling to let her go, but Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting walked away fast, and he had to give it up.

He was impressed by Gu Ning's physiognomy, and wasn't in the mood to open his stand now.

He saw many unusual things from her face, but he didn't have a chance to see her face clearly. Nevertheless, he was sure that the girl's life was very special, especially after the tribulation. She could have been killed in the tribulation, but she survived.

Chapter 1338: Xia Yichu Is Injured

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Her life had a complete change afterwards, and she became a totally different person. It seemed like a person that had two lives. However, it was impossible for a person to have two lives, so the old man couldn't figure it out.

The old man was disappointed that he failed to tell Gu Ning's fortune, but he wasn't in despair, because he had a feeling that they would meet again. He believed in fate.

…

Gu Ning was relieved after walking far away.

Leng Shaoting understood that Gu Ning was worried and wanted to avoid the old man.

He didn't want to interfere in her own things, but he was afraid that it might hurt Gu Ning, so he asked, "Ningning, why are you avoiding him?"

Hearing that, Gu Ning panicked a little. She absolutely couldn't tell Leng Shaoting that she had been reborn before. "Well, I'm just afraid that he might see my Jade Eyes."

Leng Shaoting nodded, because it was indeed an important secret. "Right, you must be careful from now on."

If anyone else knew about it, Gu Ning would be in danger.

Even though Gu Ning wasn't weak at all, he still felt anxious when there was someone who wanted to hurt her.

"I will," Gu Ning said. She disliked trouble and would do everything to avoid it.

…

Once Battle in the Sky was released, it was becoming increasingly popular.

More and more people were attracted to it after only one afternoon.

Those who wanted to add Gu Ning as their friend but failed because their levels were too low crazily spent a lot more time and energy playing the game. They ached to be Gu Ning's friends to play a round against or with her.

As for other people, they were simply addicted to the game.

…

Gu Ning went back home at 9:30 pm.

Leng Shaoting stayed in Gu Ning's house that night.

Although Leng Shaoting didn't have to fulfill a mission these days, it didn't mean that he could stay outside and be free all day long. He still needed to go back to the military base tomorrow.

Actually, he was supposed to leave today, but Gu Ning was going back to the capital, so he delayed the departure time until tomorrow. He had nothing important to deal with, so it wasn't a big deal.

Leng Shaoting hadn't stayed alone with Gu Ning for a long time, and he missed her so much in bed. So because he had to leave tomorrow, he had sex again and again with Gu Ning that night.

"Ningning, I don't want to leave you." Leng Shaoting hugged Gu Ning in his arms. He wished that they were an ordinary couple who could stay with each other every day. However, he couldn't because of his job.

"I don't want to leave you either." Gu Ning hugged him tight. She was reluctant to leave Leng Shaoting, but she was more mature than him, so she didn't feel too sad.

Leng Shaoting was deeper in love than she was in their relationship. However, it didn't mean that she loved Leng Shaoting less than Leng Shaoting loved her. What Leng Shaoting could do for her was what she was also willing to do for him.

The next day, Leng Shaoting left after lunch.

Gu Ning also went to her company for work later.

As soon as Gu Ning walked into the hall, she saw Lu Xiao walking outside with an angry expression.

Lu Xiao was struck dumb for a second when he saw Gu Ning. "Oh, hi, boss."

"What's wrong? Why do you look so mad?" Gu Ning asked.

"Xia Yichu wass injured during the shooting of her music video," Lu Xiao said with his eyes full of worry.

Gu Ning was aware of Lu Xiao's affection towards Xia Yichu, so she knew that he must be very concerned.

"How is she now? Is it serious?" Gu Ning asked with concern as Xia Yichu's boss.

"She broke her leg and she's in the hospital now. I'm on my way to visit her," Lu Xiao replied.

"I'll go with you," Gu Ning said.

"Sure." Lu Xiao agreed.

After that, they went to the hospital together.

At the same time, Tang Haifeng had the reply to the engagement date for Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning from Zhao Yiru, but it wasn't delightful.

"Tang, although I'm not an expert on xuanxue, I think I still need to be honest with you. I don't think Shaoting should have the engagement this year from his date of birth and eight characters of a horoscope. It's better to delay it," Zhao Yiru said.

"Well, I trust you. Since you think it's better to delay it, we can delay it. It isn't a big deal." Tang Haifeng thought that it wouldn't make a difference whether Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning were engaged this year or next year.

Tang Haifeng then told Leng Weihua about it. Although Leng Weihua also felt a little disappointed, he accepted it. He believed in superstitions to some extent.

However, what they didn't know was that Zhao Yiru actually found that Leng Shaoting was going to go through a tribulation, but he didn't know how serious it would be.

He only knew a little about xuanxue, so he wasn't very sure of the result.

Chapter 1339: Beg for Help

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In addition, even if he saw something terrible in the future, it didn't mean that it would certainly happen.

One could be well-prepared for it to avoid the danger.

…

Because the shooting set was a little far from the hospital, Xia Yichu was still absent by the time that Gu Ning arrived.

Before they saw Xia Yichu, they ran into something else.

"Doctor, please, please help me and save my younger brother. I'll give you the money later." They heard a female voice begging the doctor.

Gu Ning and Lu Xiao found a young woman pulling a male doctor at the door of the outpatient department, and she was crying loudly in despair.

"Miss Peng, please stop. According to the rules, if you can't pay the fee, I can't do the surgery. To be honest with you, your younger brother probably won't recover even if he has the operation," the male doctor said.

"Please, please…" The woman was unwilling to give up.

"Miss Peng, would please let me go? It's not easy for me to make the decision, alright?" the male doctor said with a resigned sigh.

"I feel for this girl, but she doesn't have enough money. it's impossible for the hospital to cure her younger brother."

"The poor can only wait for death."

"Money is really important nowadays."

"…"

Onlookers also sighed with sadness.

The hospital wouldn't treat a patient without money.

Gu Ning agreed that it was a little cold that the hospital directly abandoned those patients without money, but the hospital wasn't a charity after all.

Gu Ning hesitated for a while, then still walked to Miss Peng.

The moment Gu Ning walked near, Miss Peng noticed her and knelt down in front of her. "Miss Gu, please lend me some money for my younger brother's surgery. I promise I'll pay you back with my salary. I'm willing to do anything for you."

Miss Peng recognized Gu Ning and she knew that Gu Ning was very kind, so she became hopeful again. In fact, if Gu Ning was unwilling to help her, she wouldn't complain either, but only felt hopeless.

Other people all shook their heads when they saw that Miss Peng went to borrow money from a young girl. An operation cost at least hundreds of thousand yuan, and it was impossible for a young girl to lend so much money to a stranger.

Gu Ning was surprised when Miss Peng called her name.

Actually, since Gu Ning walked towards her of her own accord, it meant that she had intention to help her.

Gu Ning felt touched when Miss Peng promised to do anything for her in order to save her younger brother. Only family members were willing to sacrifice for each other.

"No problem, I can lend you money, but I need to see your younger brother first," Gu Ning said.

It was obvious that Miss Peng's younger brother was seriously injured, and he probably couldn't survive even if he had the operation. Therefore, Gu Ning wanted to see Miss Peng's younger brother first and help him survive.

Onlookers were shocked when Gu Ning really agreed to help.

"Sure, sure, sure." Miss Peng got back to her feet at once, and led the way for Gu Ning.

Before Gu Ning left with Miss Peng, she took out a porcelain bottle and gave it to Lu Xiao. "You can wait here for Xia Yichu. Tell her to take this pill when she arrives. It's very helpful for her recovery."

"Great." Lu Xiao took it without hesitation.

Afterwards, Gao Yi and Qiao Ya left with Gu Ning, following Miss Peng.

Some onlookers along with the doctor also followed them.

Miss Peng's full name was Peng Xiaoman, and she was 28 this year.

Her younger brother was Peng Xinghao, who was in his early twenties this year, but he was placed in a bed at a corner of the hall because he couldn't have the operation.

Peng Xiaoman wasn't able to afford the surgery fee, so Peng Xinghao couldn't stay in the ward.

When Gu Ning saw Peng Xinghao, his head was still bleeding. There was a fruit knife in his head that hadn't been removed yet, because he couldn't have the operation, and it was very dangerous.

Because of losing too much blood, Peng Xinghao had a pale face and laboured breathing. It seemed like he could die at any second.

Without delay, Gu Ning walked ahead and held Peng Xinghao's hand to secretly put her magical power into his body.

Gu Ning wouldn't cure him with her magical power, but would help him survive.

"What's she doing?"

"No idea, it seems like she's taking his pulse."

"Really?"

"Who knows!"

Gu Ning was secretly putting her magical power into Peng Xinghao's body with one hand, and put a pill to his mouth with another hand.

"What is this?" the doctor asked.

Although he couldn't do the operation on Peng Xinghao, he didn't want him to die in the hospital.

Gu Ning didn't answer his question.

Onlookers got nervous and began to discuss it again.

"This girl is so bold! What if anything terrible happens to the young man?"

"She must take responsibility."

"…"

A group of onlookers were criticizing Gu Ning, but Gu Ning stayed silent.

Peng Xiaoman was also surprised when Gu Ning put the pill into Peng Xinghao's mouth, but she didn't stop Gu Ning. She didn't think that Gu Ning was going to hurt Peng Xinghao, especially in public.

If Peng Xinghao died after taking her pill, Gu Ning would be in big trouble, and there was no reason for Gu Ning to do that.

As time went by, Peng Xinghao's breath gradually stabilized and he began to breathe normally.

hapter 1340: Bullying

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After a few minutes, Peng Xinghao's face began to change.

Onlookers who stood a distance away couldn't see it, but the male doctor was able to notice it and he was totally shocked. He couldn't believe that Peng Xinghao began to recover once Gu Ning helped him take a pill.

He was curious about the pill now. After that, the male doctor turned to stare at Gu Ning.

He wanted to ask Gu Ning for more information about the pill, but he knew that it wasn't appropriate for him to do that in public right now.

Peng Xiaoman almost burst into tears of excitement when she saw Peng Xinghao's face becoming normal. She knew that it must be the effect of Gu Ning's medicine.

"Miss Peng, you can go to register now before your younger brother has the operation," Gu Ning said to Peng Xiaoman and withdrew her hand.

Gu Ning only helped Peng Xinghao stay alive, but he still needed to have an operation to remove the knife from his head.

If she directly removed the fruit knife in public, it would be strange and nobody would believe it.

Peng Xinghao still needed a doctor to help him.

Gu Ning would give him some power crystals to help him recover faster after the surgery.

"Right, right!" Peng Xiaoman ran to do it at once. She didn't have enough money for the operation, but she could afford the fee for registration.

When Peng Xiaoman left to register, the male doctor told those onlookers to leave, then he asked Gu Ning with curiosity, "Miss Gu, what kind of medicine is this pill?"

"Sorry, I'm afraid I can't tell," Gu Ning said.

The male doctor didn't insist, because he knew that Gu Ning was unwilling to tell him.

…

Before Peng Xinghao was pushed into the operating room, Xia Yichu arrived. Actually, Xia Yichu wasn't severely injured and only broke her leg. She only needed to rest for a few days after putting her bones back in their normal positions.

Lu Xiao was too nervous, so it had seemed to be a serious problem.

Once Xia Yichu came, Lu Xiao told her to take the pill that Gu Ning gave him.

With the help of Gu Ning's power crystal, Xia Yichu would be able to move within a day.

…

Before long, Peng Xinghao was going to have the operation.

Gu Ning asked Peng Xiaoman when there was nobody around them, "Miss Peng, can you tell me what happened to your younger brother?"

Hearing that, Peng Xiaoman looked furious. "My younger brother's major was clothing design in college. He went to have an interview in a company a few days ago, and provided several design drafts. The company kept his drafts and told him to wait for the information. My younger brother has waited for the result for a long time, and saw a clothing design competition by accident on the Internet. He found his work in the top 3 participants but his name was removed. He then went to ask the company for a reason. I don't know what happened later, but I just received a call from the hospital that my younger brother was in great danger. I rushed to the hospital and I also called the police, but the police wouldn't help me find the criminal."

Peng Xiaoman was disappointed in the police now.

Gu Ning was also angry after knowing the truth. At the same time, she was aware of the cruel fact that the powerful always bullied the poor with their power and influence.

When Gu Ning and Gu Man still lived a hard life, other people in the Gu family also loved to bully them. Tang Aining was reincarnated in Gu Ning's body afterwards, and nobody dared to bully them again.

If the poor didn't want to be bullied all the time, they must grow to become strong. Unfortunately, not every poor person could grow strong one day, so bullying would exist as usual.

Since Peng Xinghao's major was clothing design in the university and he was able to win a place in an important design competition, Gu Ning thought that she could hire him to work for her in her garment company.

Although her garment company wasn't shorthanded now, she wouldn't mind hiring skilled people.

No matter what, Gu Ning made up her mind to help Peng Xinghao this time.

Right when Gu Ning was about to say something, Peng Xiaoman opened her mouth first.

"Miss Gu, I know that you have a garment company under your name, and my younger brother is an outstanding clothing designer. If you think he's qualified, he can work for you and we'll pay you the money back with the salary. You can fire him whenever you want to of course."

Their parents passed away very early, so she had to quit school when she was only a freshman. Although she didn't have many skills, her younger brother was outstanding.

Gu Ning was willing to hire Peng Xinghao if he was really good at clothing design, but she wouldn't fire him casually unless he made a terrible mistake.

If Peng Xinghao could become a successful clothing designer, he could make a lot more money than the medical fee.

Gu Ning decided to give Peng Xinghao a chance.
