Chapter 1041 Furious Tang Yaxin

Although Tang Yaxin disliked Gu Ning, she had to greet Xu Qinyin and Gu Anna politely, so she walked towards them with a smile. "Hi, so nice to see you, Miss Xu and Miss Gu!"They were all members of the high society, and often met each other at different parties. Tang Yaxin only greeted Xu Qinyin and Gu Anna because their families were more powerful than hers.

In fact, Tang Yaxin was jealous of Xu Qinyin and Gu Anna because of their family background. Even though the Tang family was already very influential in the capital. She wasn't satisfied and always wanted to be the best. And if she couldn't, she had to please those who held a higher social status than her.

"Nice to see you too, Miss Tang!" Xu Qinyin kindly said to Tang Yaxin. She wasn't aware that Tang Yaxin hated Gu Ning.

She disliked Tang Yaxin as well because she knew that Tang Yaxin's mother had been a mistress. It was hard for them to like the daughter of a mistress.

"There is only one private room left in the restaurant. Why don't we dine together?" Tang Yaxin said. She came here earlier than them, so she booked the last private room. Tang Yaxin hoped that she could have a closer relationship with Xu Qinyin and Gu Anna. It was beneficial for her family after all.

"Thanks, but we can dine somewhere else since there is no available room," Xu Qinyin said.

"Fine." Tang Yaxin didn't insist.

Xu Qinyin, Gu Ning and Gu Anna left together, while Tang Yaxin and her friends went to the private room.

A while later, Xu Qinyin found another good restaurant and they decided to dine there.

…

Tang Yaxin finished dinner earlier than them, so she left earlier too. When she saw that the tire of her car was flat, she was furious. After checking, she saw the two nails.

"Who did that?" Tang Yaxin raised her voice in anger.

"Yaxin, we can go check the surveillance cameras," her friend said.

Afterwards, they went to the surveillance room.

The man who worked in the room checked the surveillance video at once. However, nobody got near her car while she was away.

Gu Ning did come back after stopping her car for a short while, but she didn't come close to Tang Yaxin's car either.

If nobody got near Tang Yaxin's car, who punctured the nails into the tire?

They found no clues from the surveillance video, so it wasn't the parking lot's fault.

Tang Yaxin had to give up, but she made up her mind to find the person who did it. She was unwilling to let the person get away with it, because she was sure that it wasn't an accident.

…

Gu Ning and her friends finished dinner at 8 pm.

Xu Qinyin didn't want to go home so early, so she proposed that they go have fun together in a bar.

They went to Song Nan's bar together. Because they were going to drink, they couldn't drive home later, so Xu Qinyin said that they could hire designated drivers or her older brother could come to send them home.

Gu Ning didn't mind, since Xu Qinyin and Gu Anna wanted to drink, she would go with them. They hadn't seen each other in a long time after all.

On the way, Xu Qinyin called Song Nan and asked him whether there were vacant seats.

Song Nan's bar was always popular and many people made reservations in advance. So normally, there were no good seats left at this time.

Song Nan said, "I can keep some for you, Miss Xu."

Song Nan would usually keep a good table for his friends, in case they needed it.

When Xu Qinyin, Gu Ning and Gu Anna went to the parking lot, Tang Yaxin was already gone. However, her car was left there for repairs. Qi Ziyue also had the key to this car, so Tang Yaxin told him to handle it.

Gu Ning could imagine how furious Tang Yaxin was when she found the flat tire.

"Look at this car, its tire is flat," Xu Qinyin said all of a sudden.

"Let it be," Gu Ning said in a good mood.

Nobody paid any more attention to it, and they left for Song Nan's bar.

"Oh, Gu Ning, how did you feel when you met Grandpa Leng yesterday?" Xu Qinyin asked Gu Ning with curiosity.

"I felt nervous in the beginning, but soon relaxed," Gu Ning said.

"You're so unbelievable. I've known Grandpa Leng for nearly 20 years, but I still get nervous every time I see him," Xu Qinyin said.

"Me too!" Gu Anna agreed.

Chapter 1042 1 VS. 10

Gu Anna wasn't afraid of the older generation in her own family, but she became very quiet whenever she saw Master Leng. It was as if a rat saw a cat.

Gu Ning was amused, but understood their feelings, even she stood in awe of Master Leng. Master Leng already accepted her as his future grand daughter-in-law, so he was very kind and gentle to her, which helped Gu Ning relax in front of him.

When Gu Ning, Gu Anna, and Xu Qinyin walked into the bar, they heard loud noises of fighting.

"What's going on here?" Xu Qinyin frowned and was about to run inside, but Gu Ning stopped her. "Go out first, I'll have a look."

Xu Qinyin and Gu Anna were both weak girls, and Gu Ning was worried that they might get hurt.

Xu Qinyin and Gu Anna understood that Gu Ning wasn't a weak girl, so they listened to her and walked outside. They reminded Gu Ning to be careful before they left.

Once Xu Qinyin and Gu Anna were gone, Gu Ning strode to the place where the fight was happening.

Two groups of men were fighting against each other.

Song Nan tried to stop them in vain, but his head was hit with a beer bottle. It was bleeding, but it wasn't serious.

Gu Ning supported Song Nan to stand aside, then went to deal with the men who were fighting. She moved like lightning, and beat all of them up within seconds.

People only saw a figure flashing by and then the two groups of men were laying beaten on the ground. The violent affray ended too.

When people found out that it was a young girl who beat all of them up, they were shocked.

"Jesus, she's so unbelievable!"

"She was able to beat 10 men up in seconds, by herself!"

"It's so exciting!"

"···"

"M-Miss Gu." Song Nan also rounded his eyes in shock.

Since Gu Ning was here, Xu Qinyin must be here as well.

"If you want to fight again, I can help," Gu Ning said to the men on the ground in a cold tone.

The two groups of men were scared by Gu Ning's agility and strength.

"If you don't want to fight, then pay the compensation now," Gu Ning said, and nobody dared to argue against her. After that, she walked to Song Nan and gave him a bottle of magical power liquid. "Mr. Song, you can apply this to your injury and tell someone to calculate the damages. They can't leave before they pay the compensation."

"Thanks, Miss Gu," Song Nan said.

The customers in the bar were also cleared out. Song Nan didn't charge them, because they were innocent.

Before long, there were only staff members along with the two groups of men left in the bar.

Those men were all injured to different degrees, but none of them were seriously injured, so nobody called an ambulance before they paid the compensation.

Xu Qinyin and Gu Anna didn't walk inside until then. They were a little frightened when they saw the bleeding wound on Song Nan's head. "Song Nan, are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Song Nan said with a smile.

"You're fine? It's bleeding!" Xu Qinyin rolled her eyes.

"Then stop asking me if you can see it with your own eyes," Song Nan said.

"You…" Xu Qinyin was struck dumb for a second.

"Alright, could you stop arguing for a while? You should deal with the wound first," Gu Anna said to Song Nan.

"Oh, right, wait here for me. I'll go deal with the wound," Song Nan said. Afterwards, he walked towards the washroom because there was a mirror.

"What happened?" Xu Qinyin glanced at those men who were lying on the ground, then asked Gu Ning.

"No idea. They probably had a conflict after drinking a lot," Gu Ning said.

A short while later, Song Nan walked back and said to Gu Ning with excitement, "Miss Gu, this medicine is so unbelievable! The wound stopped bleeding, and isn't painful at all now."

The wound on Song Nan's head wasn't deep, so it should be gone overnight.

Hearing that, Xu Qinyin opened her mouth before Gu Ning could say anything. "Of course it's unbelievable, because it's the medicine produced by Colaine. Don't you know that it's Gu Ning's company?"

Both Xu Qinyin and Gu Anna had heard of Colaine, so they weren't surprised by the medicine's effect.

"What? Colaine is Gu Ning's company?"

Song Nan was surprised. He had heard of Colaine and its good reputation, and he also had many medicines produced by Colaine in his home, but he wasn't aware that Gu Ning was the owner of Colaine.

Song Nan wasn't familiar with Gu Ning, so he only knew a little about her. He seldom read the news, so he missed a lot of shocking news about Gu Ning too.

"Let's go have a seat there. My bar is closed today, so you can enjoy yourself as you like."

They walked to a nearby table together.

Chapter 1043 Curse the Elderly?

In the end, the two groups of men had to pay sixty thousand yuan for the damages.It was very fair, because Song Nan's bar could make over a hundred thousand yuan a day.

The two groups of men shared the compensation fifty-fifty. They weren't poor, so it wasn't a lot of money in their eyes. Besides, they were scared of Gu Ning, and didn't dare escape, so they paid the money and left for the hospital.

…

When it was 10 pm, Jiang Ruiqin came.

Jiang Ruiqin was just walking by, so he decided to go inside to have a look. He didn't tell Song Nan that he was coming, so he had no idea that Gu Ning was in the bar.

He saw that the door was closed but the lights were on in the bar, and got confused before pushing the door open and walking inside. There was music playing in the bar, but he didn't hear many people talking.

He was a frequent visitor here, so the bartender recognized him and didn't stop him.

"What happened?" Jiang Ruiqin asked the bartender.

"Some people had a fight here today, so our boss closed down for the night, now he's drinking with his friends over there," the bartender said and pointed to one side.

Some people had a fight here today?

Jiang Ruiqin frowned, and looked in the direction the bartender pointed.

At this moment, Gu Ning noticed him, and said to the others, "Ruiqin is here."

Hearing that, they all turned to look at Jiang Ruiqin.

Song Nan stood up at once. "Hi, why didn't you tell me you're coming?"

"I was just walking by," Jiang Ruiqin said.

"Come on and have a seat," Song Nan said.

Jiang Ruiqin walked over with a smile. When his sight fell on Gu Ning, he was surprised.

"Oh, hi, when did you come to the capital? Why didn't you call me to have a drink together?" Jiang Ruiqin pretended to be sad. In fact, he did actually feel a little sad because he still liked Gu Ning. At the same time, he also felt happy to see her again.

"I just came yesterday, and have been busy till this afternoon." Gu Ning explained.

Jiang Ruiqin sat down, and Song Nan poured a glass of drink for him.

Actually, Jiang Ruiqin had no plan to drink tonight, because he was going to drive, but he forgot about it when he saw that Gu Ning was here.

Because of the wound on his head, Song Nan didn't drink, but just chatted with them.

They didn't stay in the bar for too long, and separated at 11 pm. They all drank a little, so Xu Qinyin called a designated driver.

Although Song Nan didn't drink and was willing to drive them home, Gu Ning thought that it would be inconvenient for him to do so. They had already hired a designated driver after all.

Jiang Ruiqin couldn't drive either because he drank too, so he left his car at Song Nan's bar, then got in Gu Ning's car. They lived in the same living area.

Even though Jiang Ruiqin knew that it was impossible for him to be with Gu Ning, he couldn't help but want to get close to her. Therefore, he didn't take a taxi home, but shared the car with Gu Ning.

They went to Gu Anna's home first, then Xu Qinyin's home before they finally went back to the living area where Gu Ning and Jiang Ruiqin lived.

When they were outside of the living area, Gu Ning told the designated driver to leave, and she drove inside herself. She drank a lot, but was fine because of her magical power.

Gu Ning didn't go back to Leng Shaoting's house until she drove Jiang Ruiqin back to his own house.

It was already 12:30 am when she got home, and she sent a message to Xu Qinyin and Gu Anna to tell them that she was safe.

They had told Gu Ning to send them a message once she was home before they separated.

Although Gu Ning wasn't a weak girl, they were still worried about her safety because they were her friends.

Gu Anna and Xu Qinyin were relieved when they received Gu Ning's message.

…

Gu Ning took a shower before she went to sleep.

The next day, Gu Ning got up early to run in the morning.

After running for half an hour, she saw an old man suddenly fall on the ground not far ahead of her. Two old men by his side stopped at once, and went to check his condition.

Seeing that, Gu Ning ran to them without delay.

The old man who fainted was around 60 years old, and Gu Ning felt that he was still breathing, but his breath was very weak. It was possible that he could die if he didn't receive immediate treatment.

Gu Ning took out a power crystal and squatted to feed it to the old man. However, the other two old men stopped her once she reached out her hand.

"What are you doing?" An old man questioned her in an unkind tone.

"I'm rescuing him. Move, or he'll stop breathing!" Gu Ning said with a serious face.

The old man was struck dumb for a second, but was convinced by Gu Ning's attitude.

The other old man, however, still criticized Gu Ning. "How dare you curse the elderly? Qiao is well!"

Gu Ning sneered, "Seriously? He just fainted all of a sudden?"

Chapter 1044 Old Man Sha

"You…" The old man understood that it was the truth, but he still didn't move at all. On the contrary, he questioned Gu Ning, "What can you do to help him? What if he dies in your hands?"When he said that, he panicked a little because of his guilty conscience, but soon looked determined to stop Gu Ning from rescuing the old man lying on the ground.

Seeing that, Gu Ning realized that this old man must hope for Old Man Qiao to be in trouble.

She was right. Old Man Sha was indeed unwilling to help Old Man Qiao. To be specific, Old Man Qiao's sudden fall had something to do with him!

Gu Ning didn't know which one of them was the good man, nor why Old Man Sha was reluctant to help Old Man Qiao, but she couldn't give up right now since she was already involved in this.

Even if Old Man Qiao was a bad person, only a judge could sentence him. If Old Man Qiao wasn't a bad person, it would be a shame for him to die like this.

"I can take the responsibility if anything terrible happens," Gu Ning said with determination.

"You can take the responsibility? Who do you think you are, and do you know who Old Man Qiao is?" Old Man Sha said with obvious disdain.

"Sha, let this girl do what she can. Maybe she can really help Qiao." Old Man Di interrupted them.

Gu Ning looked very confident, and he thought that she might have a way to help Old Man Qiao.

"Di, do you really trust her? I don't. I think we should call an ambulance right now," Old Man Sha said.

It would take at least five minutes for an ambulance to get here, and Old Man Qiao could be dead by then.

"Well…" Old Man Di hesitated, because Gu Ning was a stranger after all.

Gu Ning, however, had no time to waste on arguing with them. She directly moved their hands which stopped her from approaching Old Man Qiao, then quickly squeezed a power crystal into Old Man Qiao's mouth. At the same time, she held his wrist to secretly put her magical power into his body.

Old Man Qiao was in a bad condition now, so a power crystal wasn't enough to save his life.

The two old men weren't strong, and couldn't stop Gu Ning. They were mad, but didn't know what to do now.

"How dare you!" Old Man Sha was furious. "How can you be so rude to the elderly? Don't you have manners?"

"Sha, forget it." Old Man Di understood why Gu Ning did it. She simply wanted to help Old Man Qiao. Time mattered most when a man's life was in danger.

"Why? This girl is so rude and bold. We don't know what she just squeezed into Qiao's mouth!"

Old Man Sha was unwilling to forgive Gu Ning. In fact, he stopped Gu Ning because he thought that Gu Ning might really have the ability to rescue Old Man Qiao, which was the last thing he wanted to see right now.

Old Man Di was worried about Old Man Qiao's safety, but he still trusted Gu Ning because she looked very confident.

"No, I must call the police now," Old Man Sha said, and took out his phone. No matter what happened, he had to punish this young girl. However, before he could finish the call, Old Man Di interrupted him with excitement.

"Qiao opened his eyes! He's awake!" Old Man Di was thrilled.

"What?" Hearing that, Old Man Sha was surprised and disappointed.

Why? How is it possible? What medicine did this girl make Qiao swallow? How could he wake up so soon?

Gu Ning didn't miss the disappointment in Old Man Sha's eyes, but she said nothing about it. She moved aside when Old Man Qiao woke up.

Old Man Qiao wore a dazed expression, and didn't realize what had just happened to him.

Since Old Man Qiao was awake now, Old Man Sha had to pretend to be happy for him. "Qiao, are you alright?"

Things didn't go the way he hoped, so he was full of hatred towards Gu Ning now. If it hadn't been for her, Old Man Qiao would have been dead already! Nevertheless, he didn't dare to show his real feelings on his face.

"Qiao? Qiao?" Old Man Di called Old Man Qiao to help him wake up.

Hearing Old Man Sha and Old Man Di's voices, Old Man Qiao gradually became conscious. "W-What happened?"

He remembered that he had been running just then.

"You fainted and fell all of a sudden," Old Man Di said.

I just fainted and fell? Why?

Old Man Qiao was confused. His body was always in a good condition, and he often ran in the morning to stay healthy. Why would he suddenly faint and fall?

"Oh, this young girl just saved your life!" Old Man Di pointed at Gu Ning.

Old Man Qiao turned to look at Gu Ning at once. "Thank you so much, miss."

Chapter 1045 Poisoned

"No worries," Gu Ning said with a smile. "Mr. Qiao, could you please tell me what your health is normally like? Do you have a disease?"

"No, my body is in a good condition normally. I also get regular tests done, but there are no diseases," Old Man Qiao said.

"Well, I noticed your unusual reaction when you fainted and fell, and your breathing was quickly getting weak when you were unconscious. I think you were probably poisoned," Gu Ning said.

Hearing that, Old Man Sha felt a little scared. He didn't expect that this girl could be so smart. However, even though Gu Ning told the truth, he didn't think that Old Man Qiao could find any evidence. He wasn't worried that his dirty trick might be exposed.

"Um, maybe it's food poisoning. Qiao, I think you better go to the hospital to have a medical check now," Old Man Di said.

If it was food poisoning, it wouldn't be a big deal, because it was a common illness. Although they were very cautious, it could still happen. However, was it really just food poisoning?

Old Man Qiao held a different idea, and felt displeased, but he still composed himself.

Old Man Qiao wasn't dumb, and he knew that it couldn't be that simple from Gu Ning's explanation. He knew that there was someone who always wanted him to die in order to grab his family's property away, but he was surprised that the person would directly poison him.

Even though he couldn't say anything about it now, he made up his mind to find out who the mastermind was.

Gu Ning excused herself afterwards.

Seeing Gu Ning walking away, Old Man Sha was determined to punish her.

…

Gu Ning was free that morning, so she decided to eat at home and go to the headquarters of her corporation in the afternoon.

After having breakfast, Gu Ning read books in the bedroom.

At 9 am, Gu Ning heard someone opening the door of the house. She was surprised, and thought that Leng Shaoting was back.

However, the second she left the bedroom, she heard a woman talking.

"Wow, this house is so big and beautiful! I wish this was my home!" a woman said with excitement in the living room on the first floor.

Gu Ning walked to the landing, and looked down.

There were three people in the living room. One was a young man in a formal suit, one was a middle-aged woman, and one was a young woman in her early twenties.

Both of the women were in cleaner's uniforms, so Gu Ning knew that they came here to clean the house.

Today was the cleaning day of Leng Shaoting's house.

"Mr. Ban, who owns this house?" the young woman asked the young man with curiosity.

"Don't ask questions. Just do your job," Mr. Ban snapped at her.

The young woman was scared, and didn't dare to ask again. "Such a rude man," she muttered to herself.

At this moment, Gu Ning walked downstairs and attracted their attention.

The middle-aged woman stayed normal, but the young woman looked disappointed. If the owner of this house was a man, she could seduce him and move into this beautiful home.

This young woman came here for nothing good. In fact, she wasn't the cleaner who was normally responsible for this house, but the regular cleaner had a stomachache today, so she replaced her.

"Miss Gu, nice to meet you. I work for Lord Leng; my name is Ban Xiuhan." Ban Xiuhan was amazed by Gu Ning's beauty, then soon greeted her with respect.

Ban Xiuhan was in charge of the cleaning of this house, so Leng Shaoting told Ban Xiuhan that Gu Ning would be staying here.

"Miss Gu, I'm so sorry to interrupt you. We can leave, and come again if you want," Ban Xiuhan said.

"It's fine. I'm not sleeping," Gu Ning said.

Gu Ning wasn't surprised that Ban Xiuhan knew her, because she understood that Leng Shaoting must have told him that she was here.

"Thanks," Ban Xiuhan said, then told the two cleaners to be as quiet as possible.

Gu Ning went back to the bedroom. Except for the master bedroom and study, they had to clean all the other rooms. They would do the cleaning once a week, so the house was always clean and tidy.

Two hours later, they finished their work and left.

…

Gu Ning had her lunch at 12:30 pm, then went to the headquarters of her corporation.

There were two ways to go to the headquarters from Leng Shaoting's house, and one of them would pass by the Tang Organization. Gu Ning chose this route.

She stopped her car outside the Tang Organization, then used her Jade Eyes to see the inside of it. It was still the same, and easily aroused her hatred.

She had contributed significantly to this building in her previous incarnation.

After watching for a while, she noticed a familiar figure. It was Tang Yaxin's mother, Ji Yijing.

Once Gu Ning saw Ji Yijing, her animosity grew stronger. She promised herself that she would pay them back sooner or later.

Chapter 1046 Chased by Traffic Police

Ji Yijing got in a car, then left.Gu Ning wanted to teach Ji Yijing a lesson, so she drove behind her.

However, a few minutes later, a picture suddenly flashed by Gu Ning's eyes. She saw a white sports car stopped outside a building which was still under construction. A large iron box fell and hit the driver's seat of the sports car.

Although Gu Ning couldn't see the face of the person in the driver's seat, she knew that he could be killed.

Pictures that had flashed by Gu Ning's eyes had all happened in real life, so Gu Ning didn't dare to ignore it this time. She left Ji Yijing and drove ahead to the building without delay.

Luckily, there weren't many vehicles on the road, and Gu Ning drove as fast as she could, which led to people's criticisms and exclamations. Before long, the traffic police also noticed her and chased her. Nevertheless, the traffic police failed to catch up to her at all, because she drove too fast.

No matter how the traffic police blared their sirens, Gu Ning wouldn't stop.

Although the traffic police were amazed by Gu Ning's driving skills, they were mad at her dangerous action.

About four minutes later, Gu Ning arrived at the building, and saw the white sports car outside it. There were two young men chatting in the car. It seemed that they were waiting for someone.

There was another car stopped ahead of it, and it was followed by a vacant parking space. Gu Ning wouldn't block its way, so she stopped her car aside.

It was forbidden to park cars here, and it would affect the traffic too, but Gu Ning didn't have much time as the iron box was about to fall from the building. She ran to the white sports car, and pressed her hands against its bumper.

Her behavior surprised the two young men in the car.

"Hey, what…"

When a young man was about to question her, the car moved, which shocked them.

Jesus, is she actually moving the car by herself?

Not only the two young men in the car, but passers-by were also astonished by Gu Ning's unbelievable strength.

Within five seconds, Gu Ning moved the car backwards two meters, and she walked to the side too.

The two young men sitting in the car still didn't understand why Gu Ning did that.

All of a sudden, the large iron box fell from the 10th floor of the building. It fell fast, and hit the ground after a few seconds with a loud sound.

The loud sound shocked everyone near the building.

When people saw the twisted iron box with scattered tools, they all rounded their eyes in shock.

The box fell at the same place where the drivers' seat of the white sports car was just then! If the sports car hadn't been moved backwards, the man sitting in the driver's seat would have been smashed.

People turned to look at Gu Ning with curiosity.

It seemed that Gu Ning knew what would happen, so she ran to rescue the two men.

The two young men in the sports car were also terrified, and even trembled in fear. If their car hadn't been moved away by Gu Ning, both of them could have been killed.

At the same time, the traffic police who had chased Gu Ning along the way finally surrounded her. "Miss, you've broken the speed limit, and refused to stop. Please come to the traffic police station with us right now."

Hearing that, a man who stood close, walked over and explained it to the traffic police. "Police officer, I think this girl did it for a reason. Do you see the twisted iron box? It just fell from the building, and luckily this girl just pushed the white car away, so the two young men in the car survived.��

If it was an emergency, Gu Ning might be lightly punished.

What? This girl just pushed the car away?

Hearing that, the traffic police were shocked. They couldn't believe that it was true because they didn't witness it with their own eyes. In addition, they still had doubts.

The two young men in the sports car got out at once. They walked to the traffic police together.

Since Gu Ning just saved their lives, she was their life-saver, and they should help her out too.

Both of them were around 20 years old, but Gu Ning didn't know them.

In fact, one of them was Leng Shaoting's younger cousin, Leng Shaoxun, while the other was Jiang Zhongyu's grandson, Jiang Ruining who was also Jiang Ruiqin's younger brother.

Leng Shaoxun was in the driver's seat just then. If Gu Ning hadn't helped them, he could have already been killed.

"Police officer, can we talk privately?" Leng Shaoxun said to the leader of the traffic police team. He had a natural air of power, so the police officer didn't dare to ignore him. Moreover, the sports car that Leng Shaoxun drove was worth millions of yuan, so he must be either very rich or powerful. Therefore, the police officer walked aside with him.

He also understood what Leng Shaoxun was going to do. If Leng Shaoxun was really influential, he was willing to do him a favor.

Chapter 1047 Can We Have a Round for Fun?

Even if the traffic police officer was unwilling to do Leng Shaoxun a favor, he was left no choice.

Leng Shaoxun could easily make his leader order him to do what Leng Shaoxun wanted.

When the traffic police officer walked aside with Leng Shaoxun, Jiang Ruining thanked Gu Ning with sincerity. "Nice to see you, miss. My name is Jiang Ruining, and thank you so much for saving our lives. May I know your name?"

"You're welcome, and we're simply strangers. There is no need for you to know my name," Gu Ning said.

"Is it an anonymous favor?" Jiang Ruining was amused. Gu Ning smiled, but said nothing.

Not far away from them, Leng Shaoxun directly showed the traffic police officer his ID card. "My family is the dominant Leng family in the capital. I understand that what the girl just did isn't appropriate, but she did it to save my life, so please let her go."

Leng Shaoxun's ID card proved everything.

The second the traffic police officer saw his ID card, he was shocked. He didn't expect that he could meet an important member of the Leng family today. Since Leng Shaoxun was involved in this, he didn't dare to turn him down.

"Well, of course," the traffic police officer said at once.

Although Leng Shaoxun was only about 20, while the traffic police officer was over 30, he still felt nervous standing in front of Leng Shaoxun.

"Thanks," Leng Shaoxun said. He was unwilling to force this traffic police officer to do him a favor, but it was different this time. Gu Ning was his life-saver after all.

"My pleasure, Lord Leng," the traffic police officer said with respect.

After that, the traffic police left, and onlookers immediately realized that Leng Shaoxun wasn't a common citizen.

Anyway, Gu Ning just saved their lives, so it was understandable that she wouldn't be punished. She didn't cause any damage either.

"Miss, thank you so much for saving our lives. My name is Leng Shaoxun. May I know your name?" Leng Shaoxun asked Gu Ning.

"My name's Gu Ning," Gu Ning said.

She heard Leng Shaoxun's talk with the traffic police officer, and she was surprised to find that he was Leng Shaoting's younger cousin.

Gu Ning also knew that Leng Shaoxun was Leng Yuanzhen's son. Although Leng Shaoting wasn't close to him, they got along well. In addition, Leng Shaoxun was the only younger cousin that Leng Shaoting was willing to admit was family. Therefore, Gu Ning didn't regard him as a stranger. They were about to have a formal meeting too.

Jiang Ruining, however, felt a little displeased, because Gu Ning refused to tell him her name. Was it because Leng Shaoxun was more handsome than him?

Leng Shaoxun felt that Gu Ning's name sounded familiar, but couldn't remember who she was. As a result, he didn't know who Gu Ning was.

"Miss Gu, would you mind sharing afternoon tea with us?" Leng Shaoxun said.

Leng Shaoxun invited her to do that because he really admired Gu Ning's unbelievable courage and strength. He wanted to know more about her.

Leng Shaoxun was a kung fu lover, and he begged Leng Shaoting to have a round of kung fu competition with him every time Leng Shaoting came home.

Seeing Leng Shaoxun's expression of anticipation, Gu Ning agreed, thinking that she had nothing else to deal with right now. "Sure."

Leng Shaoxun was thrilled when Gu Ning agreed. He said, "Why don't we go to the Tangyun Teahouse?"

Gu Ning had heard of the Tangyun Teahouse. It was a famous high-end teahouse with a relaxed atmosphere.

They got in their own cars, and left for the Tangyun Teahouse.

When they were in the car, Jiang Ruining suddenly remembered something and asked Leng Shaoxun, "Shaoxun, shouldn't we wait for your Cousin Zhaolin?"

"Nope, call him and tell him to take a taxi home by himself," Leng Shaoxun said.

Jiang Ruining wore a resigned look, then called Leng Shaoxun's older cousin, Yu Zhaolin.

Yu Zhaolin hadn't finished the thing he was dealing with yet when he received Jiang Ruining's call, and he had no idea what had happened outside just then.

Before long, they arrived at the Tangyun Teahouse.

Tangyun Teahouse was very large and consisted of two buildings of two different styles along with a big garden.

Leng Shaoxun didn't book a private room, but chose to enjoy the tea at a gazebo so that they could see the beautiful view and breathe fresh air.

After ordering tea, Leng Shaoxun said, "Miss Gu, may I directly call you Gu Ning?"

"Sure," Gu Ning said.

"Gu Ning, have you practiced kung fu for a long time? How did you manage to push such a heavy car?" Leng Shaoxun asked with curiosity and admiration.

"Yeah, I've practiced kung fu for a long time," Gu Ning said.

"Can we have a round for fun?" Leng Shaoxun asked.

It was his real aim, and he couldn't wait for it.

"No problem," Gu Ning said.

They just had a round for fun, because Leng Shaoxun was barely comparable to Gu Ning as to martial arts skills. In fact, if Leng Shaoxun was better than Gu Ning, he wouldn't have been amazed by what she had done. Even Xu Jinchen, who wasn't a match for Gu Ning, was able to push a car.

Therefore, Leng Shaoxun was inferior to Xu Jinchen.

Chapter 1048 For Fun or for Real?

Gu Ning didn't despise Leng Shaoxun, but he wasn't a match in her eyes.With Gu Ning's agreement, Leng Shaoxun stood up at once.

There was an empty ground near them, which was available for them to have a round for fun.

"Do you need me to be gentle?" Gu Ning asked Leng Shaoxun when they stood several meters away from each other.

"Not at all!" Leng Shaoxun said. He knew that Gu Ning wasn't a weak girl from what she had done, but he was reluctant to look weak in front of a girl.

Since they were going to have a kung fu competition, they should do their best.

"Great," Gu Ning said.

Afterwards, they began to attack each other.

Leng Shaoxun understood that Gu Ning was strong, so he had no intention to be gentle in the competition either.

Gu Ning, at the same time, wouldn't pretend to be weak as long as he wasn't hurt.

Leng Shaoxun punched Gu Ning without delay, but Gu Ning caught his fist the second he moved, which shocked him. What was worse, he failed to withdraw his fist.

Leng Shaoxun punched Gu Ning again with his other fist, but Gu Ning caught his other fist once more.

Jiang Ruining, who stood aside, rounded his eyes in shock.

Because Leng Shaoxun's two hands were both caught by Gu Ning, he had to use his feet, but Gu Ning was still able to stop him. Besides, when his foot knocked against Gu Ning's foot, he felt as if he hit a hard pillar, which was quite painful.

Actually, Gu Ning could beat him within seconds, but she didn't do that. Instead, she let him go, and kept fighting against him.

Leng Shaoxun realized the huge gap between himself and Gu Ning after the round, and he understood that Gu Ning was much better at kung fu than him.

No matter how he attacked Gu Ning, Gu Ning was always able to stop him. He felt utterly disappointed, but kept trying.

When a waiter noticed them fighting, he ran ahead and wanted to stop them, but Jiang Ruining explained to him that they were just having fun.

The waiter was relieved, because he knew Leng Shaoxun and Jiang Ruining weren't ordinary people.

Other people in the teahouse were also attracted by their competition.

They were amazed by Gu Ning's excellent skills too. Some of them even took a video of their competition.

…

In a nearby private room, three men sat together looking out of the window at Leng Shaoxun and Gu Ning. Two of them were around 40, while the other was about 27 years old.

"This young girl is really unbelievable! The young man is a member of the Leng family, and he's also good at fighting, but isn't a match for the girl at all. I think the girl could be as good as a soldier in the special forces," a middle-aged man in a gray shirt said.

It was obvious that he recognized Leng Shaoxun.

"Why don't you talk about it with her? If it is possible, she could be a member of your team!" another middle-aged man in a dark blue shirt said.

Hearing that, the first man thought that it was a good idea. "Why not!"

Saying that, he stood up and walked out.

The second middle-aged man and the young man followed him.

…

At this moment, Leng Shaoxun was out of strength, and had to give up.

"G-Gu Ning, you're far better than me," Leng Shaoxun said, gasping for breath. "Did you begin to practice kung fun when you were just a kid?"

"Yeah," Gu Ning said.

"Wow, I'm so amazed!" Jiang Ruining ran to them.

All of a sudden, Leng Shaoxun saw the three men walking to them behind Gu Ning, and he greeted them with respect at once. "Nice to see you, Uncle Peng and Uncle Luo."

"Hi, Uncle Peng and Uncle Luo," Jiang Ruining said politely.

Gu Ning turned around, and she was a little surprised to see them. "Nice to meet you, General Peng and Secretary Luo."

The first middle-aged man was the leading person of the general military region in the capital, Peng Yunlong. He was also a general.

The second middle-aged man was the head of the Central Commission for Disciplinary Inspection, Luo Zhanhua.

"Do you know us?" Peng Yunlong and Luo Zhanhua were slightly surprised when Gu Ning greeted them, but they weren't very surprised, because they often showed up on TV political news.

"Yes, I've seen you on TV," Gu Ning said.

"What's your name?" Peng Yunlong asked.

Due to his military rank, he had a natural air of power, and common citizens always felt stressed and got nervous facing him. Even Leng Shaoxun and Jiang Ruining felt a little uneasy talking to him. However, Gu Ning stayed calm as usual. "My name's Gu Ning."

"I just saw your kung fu competition against Shaoxun. Would you mind if we had a round?" Peng Yunlong asked.

Although Peng Yunlong was already 40, he was a well-trained soldier.

"Sure!" Gu Ning agreed. It was a great chance for her to practice her skills.

The others all stood aside, and left enough space for Peng Yunlong and Gu Ning.

"General Peng, do you want to have the round for fun or for real?" Gu Ning asked.

Peng Yunlong wasn't a common soldier after all, and Gu Ning was also looking forward to having a competition with him.

Chapter 1049 Don"t You Want to Serve Our Country?

"For real of course," Peng Yunlong said.Although Peng Yunlong said that, he still decided to be gentle in the competition, because he believed that Gu Ning couldn't be better than him.

"No problem," Gu Ning said.

Afterwards, they attacked each other at the same time.

Both of them were skilled at fighting, so this round was totally different from the one that Gu Ning had with Leng Shaoxun.

Once they began to attack one another, Gu Ning noticed that Peng Yunlong didn't use his full strength. She understood that he was unwilling to hurt her.

Gu Ning, actually, did the same thing, because she didn't want him to see her real ability.

Nobody was the winner in the competition.

As time went by, they started to use greater force, and the fighting became more violent and exciting too. Onlookers cheered and applauded. Some of them also took a video of it.

When Peng Yunlong failed to get control of Gu Ning after a long while, he realized that Gu Ning was much better than he had thought and he was surprised by it.

Gu Ning looked very young, and she was a genius in his eyes.

Others didn't expect that Gu Ning could stay strong for such a long time in the kung fu competition against Peng Yunlong either, and they all thought highly of her now.

"Shaoxun, who do you think will win?" Jiang Ruining asked with curiosity.

"No idea," Leng Shaoxun said, because it was so hard to tell.

Luo Zhanhua also asked the young man who stood by his side, "Lei Ting, what do you think?"

"We won't know the result until the end," Lei Ting said. In fact, he thought that Gu Ning was more likely to win.

As Peng Yunlong's aide, Lei Ting wasn't an ordinary person, but an ace soldier in the special forces. He could see that Gu Ning was very professional and full of strength.

Lei Ting was a little better than Peng Yunlong at fighting, but he wasn't confident that he could defeat Gu Ning.

Some people among the crowd recognized Peng Yunlong and Luo Zhanhua. They were all aware that Peng Yunlong was a general in the army, and stood in awe of him. However, Gu Ning was able to be a match for Peng Yunlong in the fighting competition now, which surprised all of them.

"Jesus, this young girl is so unbelievable!"

"I think General Peng is being very gentle, because she's a young girl after all."

"I agree."

Nevertheless, when Peng Yunlong did his best but still failed to win the game, he had to admit that Gu Ning was better than him.

Gu Ning, at the same time, had a clear understanding of Peng Yunlong's ability. He was at the same level as Xu Jinchen, and wasn't a match for her either.

In case Peng Yunlong felt embarrassed, Gu Ning actually didn't use her full strength.

Onlookers couldn't see which one of them was the better one, but Lei Ting could and he was shocked by Gu Ning's skills.

Besides, he had a feeling that Gu Ning didn't use her full strength for the sake of Peng Yunlong's pride.

Even though Peng Yunlong couldn't win, he wasn't mad and appreciated Gu Ning more. He was amazed by Gu Ning's ability at such a young age.

Gu Ning stopped when she thought that it was enough.

In fact, Peng Yunlong cared little about failure, because he was willing to accept it, but he still felt pleased when Gu Ning ended the competition on her own initiative.

"You've done a great job, young girl!" Peng Yunlong complimented Gu Ning.

"Thanks," Gu Ning said with a smile, and stayed calm.

"Gu Ning, do you want to serve in the army? We need someone like you, and I believe that you can achieve a lot in the army," Peng Yunlong suddenly said with a serious face.

Hearing that, Gu Ning wasn't surprised, but Leng Shaoxun and Jiang Ruining were astonished. Whoever could attract Peng Yunlong's attention would have a bright future in the army. However, Gu Ning's answer shocked them.

"I'm sorry that I'm not interested in it. I love running businesses, and I'm still a high school student now." Gu Ning turned Peng Yunlong's offer down.

Peng Yunlong was surprised by Gu Ning's rejection too. He didn't expect to find out that she was still a high school student.

She indeed looked very young, but behaved like a mature woman.

Although Gu Ning turned him down, Peng Yunlong was unwilling to give up. "You can serve our country by joining the army. Don't you want to do that?"

Facing the pressure, Gu Ning didn't panic at all, but argued, "It's not the warring era now, and I can also serve our country by being a successful businesswoman."

"It isn't a bad idea, but forces are more important sometimes," Peng Yunlong said.

Gu Ning agreed with it. An independent country needed strong forces to protect its people and territory.

"General Peng, are you forcing me to join the army?" Gu Ning put on a serious face as well, and used her magical power to put pressure on Peng Yunlong.

Everyone was amazed by her air of power.

"What if I am doing that?" Peng Yunlong asked her.

"Well, I think you probably have to ask the permission of someone," Gu Ning said with a smile on her lips.

"Who is it?" Peng Yunlong was curious.

Chapter 1050 Gu Ning"s Business Empire

Right at this moment, Gu Ning's phone rang before she could say something. She set a special ringtone for Leng Shaoting, so she knew that he was the caller once the ringtone sounded.

Leng Shaoting was the one Peng Yunlong had to ask for permission.

"What a coincidence! He just called me. Please excuse me for a while," Gu Ning said.

"Sure," Peng Yunlong said. He was curious to know who the person was.

Gu Ning picked up the call at once. "Hi, have you finished your task?"

"Yeah, where are you now?" Leng Shaoting asked.

Gu Ning had sent Leng Shaoting a message and told him that she was in the capital now, so he could read the message once he got off the plane.

"I'm at the Tangyun Teahouse now. How about you?" Gu Ning asked.

"I'll be there in 20 minutes," Leng Shaoting said. He wasn't far from the Tangyun Teahouse.

"Great," Gu Ning said, then hung up.

Afterwards, she turned to look at Peng Yunlong. "General Peng, the person you need to ask permission from is about to come. Would you mind waiting for him?"

"No problem," Peng Yunlong said.

He had no plan to leave here right away after all.

Peng Yunlong then invited Gu Ning and the others to have a seat in the private room he booked.

Leng Shaoxun and Jiang Ruining felt uneasy, but Gu Ning stayed calm.

Actually, both Leng Shaoxun and Jiang Ruining were curious about the person, but it wasn't appropriate for them to ask that question at this moment.

…

After hanging up the call with Gu Ning, Leng Shaoting called Master Leng.

"Hi, grandpa," Leng Shaoting said.

"Are you back in the capital now?" Master Leng asked.

"Yes," Leng Shaoting said.

"Great, come and dine with us along with Girl Gu this afternoon," Master Leng said.

"I need to ask her first," Leng Shaoting replied.

"She's promised to visit me, so you must come home this afternoon to share a meal with me!" Master Leng said.

"I think I need to ask her for her opinion first. What if she's busy this afternoon?" Leng Shaoting insisted.

Hearing that, Master Leng remembered that Gu Ning was a busy, successful businesswoman, so he agreed. "Fine, go ask her whether she's free this afternoon."

"I will," Leng Shaoting said before he hung up.

…

Peng Yunlong asked Gu Ning when they were all seated in the private room, "Gu Ning, you told me that you love running businesses. How much do you know about it? It's not easy to run a profitable company, and you might have outstanding debts."

Gu Ning was just a high school student, so Peng Yunlong thought that she couldn't know much about running a business.

Even the other people in the room held the same idea.

What Peng Yunlong just had said was also true.

Gu Ning smiled and said, "Well, I do know a little about running a business, but I can hire capable people to do it for me, and I can be the boss or investor."

"How can you make sure that they will do their best and stay loyal to you?" Peng Yunlong asked.

"I actually want to ask you the same question, General Peng. Aren't you afraid that I can't stay loyal to you?" Gu Ning asked.

Peng Yunlong was struck dumb for a second, and didn't know what to say. To his surprise, Gu Ning had the gift of gab.

Luo Zhanhua was amused seeing Peng Yunlong's expression.

He hoped that Peng Yunlong could have such a talented girl be a member of the special forces, but he didn't want Gu Ning to be forced to join the army.

"I didn't know that you have the gift of gab!" Peng Yunlong said.

"Ha-ha." Gu Ning laughed a little.

Peng Yunlong shook his head, and dropped this topic.

"Girl Gu, what industry are you going to be involved in?" Luo Zhanhua asked.

"Jewelry, antiques, real estate, hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, the entertainment industry, skincare products, and so forth. I'm doing them right now," Gu Ning said.

Those were some industries that Gu Ning was already involved in right now, but they thought it was just her ambition.

"You're really ambitious! Can you manage to do all of them? You must be down-to-earth," Peng Yunlong said.

Although Gu Ning was indeed excellent at kung fu, he didn't think that she could do so well at business too.

"I understand. To be honest with you, I'm already involved in those industries right now," Gu Ning said with a smile.

"What?"

Hearing that, everyone was shocked.

"Yes, you heard me right," Gu Ning said.

However, none of them could believe their ears.

If it was true, Gu Ning must be super rich!

"What are the names of your companies?" Peng Yunlong asked.

"Jade Beauty Jewelry, Xiangyun Antique-store, Kouzi, Colaine, and Fenghua Entertainment are my famous companies in the capital, while some are in other cities," Gu Ning said.

"You're the boss of them?" Luo Zhanhua was astonished, because those were all famous and popular companies in the capital these days.

Peng Yunlong didn't know much about them, but he knew that they must be very influential seeing Luo Zhanhua's expression.
