1091-1100

Chapter 1091 Yes, It"s Me

Since Gu Ning was also involved in the jade business, she had heard about Ma Jingshan too.Some people had talked about President Ma yesterday, but she hadn't heard his full name so she wasn't aware that President Ma was Ma Jingshan.Not only was Ma Jingshan the vice president of the Jade Association in Province Yun, he was also a member of the famous Ma family in County Yin, Province Yun.

The Ma family was the number one jade provider in County Yin, and it was as influential and rich as the three jade providers in City Teng.

Gu Ning was obviously happy to make friends with such an important figure.

"You're indeed a very smart girl," Ma Jingshan said with a smile. Gu Ning's polite attitude left a good impression on him.

After that, Ma Jingshan took out his name card and handed it to Gu Ning. "This is my name card. Miss Gu, whenever you visit County Yin, you can call me and you will be my distinguished guest there."

The public institution that Ma Jingshan worked for was in City Yun which was the capital city of Province Yun, but Ma Jingshan actually spent more time in County Yin because he was aged now and was about to retire.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Ma," Gu Ning said and took Ma Jingshan's name card. She also politely handed Ma Jingshan her own name card. "I'll be settling down in the capital a month from now. Mr. Ma, if you visit the capital one day, please feel free to call me."

"Thanks." Ma Jingshan took Gu Ning's name card.

Although they weren't familiar with each other yet, they knew that they could be good friends.

In addition, Gu Ning's jade companies were in Province Yun, so she might need Ma Jingshan's help in the future. Anyway, it wasn't a bad thing for her to improve her connections.

"Miss Gu, does your family also run a jewelry company since you bought so many jade raw materials," Ma Jingshan asked.

He didn't think that Gu Ning bought those jade raw materials for herself. Even though Gu Ning behaved like a mature businesswoman, she was still too young.

Ma Jingshan didn't know Gu Ning's exact age, but he thought that she must be around 20 this year and should still be a student.

Gu Ning smiled and said, "Not really, I'm involved in the jade business myself."

"What?" Ma Jingshan was shocked. He soon realized that Gu Ning probably started a company on her own.

"Mr. Ma, have you heard the news that the Wang family in City Teng was replaced by a new jade company not too long ago?" Gu Ning asked.

"Yes, and I heard it's a woman who did it," Ma Jingshan said, then suddenly stopped. "No way, is the woman you?"

He couldn't believe it, but it was highly possible.

"Yes, it's me," Gu Ning said. She wasn't showing off, but she thought that she should be honest with her friend. They were doing business in the same industry, so it could help them avoid unnecessary and unjust competition if she told him the truth.

Not only Ma Jingshan, but others by his sides were also astonished. To their astonishment, this young girl in front of them was able to replace the Wang family.

They weren't sure whether Gu Ning was the reason why the Wang family lost its influence and position overnight, but it still wasn't easy to replace it.

In that case, Gu Ning must have powerful connections or support behind her back. Moreover, it wasn't a secret that Colorful Jade Provider was very successful in the industry.

Even if Gu Ning didn't manage the company herself, she owned it. She was a smart businesswoman, and she knew how to find a capable manager to run the company for her.

If she wanted to build her business empire, she had to learn how to rely on many skilled people to help her do that.

"Miss Gu, may I know your age?" Ma Jingshan asked.

"Nineteen," Gu Ning said.

Hearing that, Ma Jingshan was greatly surprised.

���You're so much better than your peers!" Ma Jingshan said.

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Ma," Gu Ning said. "We're doing business in the same industry, and competition is unavoidable, but I hope that we can compete with each other according to the rules instead of using some dirty tricks."

Competition was always fierce in business.

"Sure," Ma Jingshan said and agreed.

Peers weren't enemies. They could get along well with each other as long as nobody played dirty tricks.

Afterwards, they went to the nearby restaurant together to have some drinks and food before then going back to their seats half an hour later.

…

During the second half, Gu Ning won two partially-cut jade raw materials and four complete jade raw materials.

Chapter 1092 Encounter Robbers

There was jade of high quality in each of those jade raw materials.When the auction came to the end, the last and most valuable jade raw material was shown on the screen. Gu Ning saw a piece of the King's Green in it.

Although the King's Green was at the same level as the old-pit glass jade, its price was much higher.

Even if it wasn't very large, it was super expensive.

Other people in the hall, however, had no idea how big the King's Green was inside.

According to its size, Gu Ning estimated it to be worth about 300 million yuan. Therefore, the bidding price should stop at 200 million yuan.

Once the King's Green was shown, bidders went crazy for it.

Even though the King's Green was rarely seen, its price could be unreasonably high as well, so Gu Ning remained silent for the time being. She planned to wait and see whether the bidding price would stop at a reasonable place.

Dongfang Ziyu, instead, raised the price up to 250 million yuan. She was reluctant to miss the King's Green because she sensed strong magical power from it.

Although it wasn't the highest price the jade could be sold at, Gu Ning gave it up, because it wasn't worth the effort.

As a result, Dongfang Ziyu won the King's Green.

When the auction was over, they went to pay the bill and finish some legal procedures.

Zhang Dequan, Zhao Yuefeng and others walked to Gu Ning once they left the hall. "Miss Gu, when will you go back?" Zhang Dequan asked her.

"Very soon. How about you, Mr. Zhang?" Gu Ning said.

"Me too," Zhang Dequan replied.

City Teng was very close and they could arrive there in two or three hours. Besides, Burma wasn't a safe country, so they should go back as soon as possible.

Zhao Yuefeng would leave once he finished the legal procedures too.

There were several windows for people to fill out the documents, so Gu Ning finished the legal procedures after a short while. Although she didn't have too many jade raw materials, they were too heavy to be carried with her.

The host arranged a MPV for them to deliver them.

…

Gu Ning went back to the hotel to pack her baggage first, then left for City Teng.

Even though Gu Ning had the intention to keep an eye on Dongfang Ziyu, it wasn't the right time for her to do that right now.

The cultivation world was separated from their world, and normal human beings couldn't reach it. In that case, even if Gu Ning kept a close eye on Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua, they could still disappear from sight at any second. Moreover, it was very easy for Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua to find out who was following them.

Anyway, Gu Ning had a feeling that they would meet each other again sooner or later.

Ayumi Yamaguchi, at the same time, had to watch Zi Beiying leaving.

Burma wasn't safe, but not everyone would be caught by danger unless the person had bad luck.

Unfortunately, Gu Ning noticed two strange cars halfway back. One was driving in front of them, while the other was at their back.

She used her Jade Eyes and saw people with guns sitting in the MPV that was not far from them.

They must be either soldiers or robbers, and Gu Ning decided to figure it out.

There were seven of them in the car. Except the driver, each of them had at least a gun, but they were all in casual clothes instead of military uniforms. Besides, they looked evil, and Gu Ning was almost sure that they were robbers.

Two of them in the rear seats turned around to stare at their car once in a while. They were staring at them!

Gu Ning felt nervous, and she was now very certain that they weren't good people.

Robbers were in the front car. How about the car at their back?

Thinking of that, Gu Ning turned around.

It was a private car at the back, and there were four people in it. Except the driver, the other three people also had a gun with them.

"Gu Ning, what are you looking at?" Zi Beiying and Nan sat on the back row. When Gu Ning gazed into the space, Zi Beiying got curious.

"Nothing." Gu Ning shook her head. She decided not to tell Zi Beiying right now. Instead, she took out her phone and typed down lines of words at once.

Gu Ning: Shaoting, we're in danger now. There are seven people in the front MPV. Except the driver, the other six men all have at least one gun with them. The private car at the back is also a threat. There are four in it. Except the driver, the other three people all have a gun with them. I don't think they're soldiers. They must be robbers.

After that, Gu Ning gave her phone to Leng Shaoting. Leng Shaoting was aware that she had Jade Eyes, so he wasn't surprised by her message.

The moment Leng Shaoting read the message, he was shocked and put on a serious expression.

They had to figure out a way to get rid of those robbers. Only Leng Shaoting, Gu Ning, and Zi Beiying had guns. Leng Shaoting was a senior soldier, so he was allowed to carry a gun with him. Gu Ning had the telepathic eye space to help her store guns. Zi Beiying, however, was born in a munitioner family, so she owned a special gun that could pass any security check.

The quantity of the special gun was strictly limited, and it wasn't available on the open market. Only the key members of the Zi family could own one.

Even though Leng Shaoting and Zi Shaomin were close friends, he could only give Leng Shaoting the best gun which was available on the market.

Chapter 1093 Beat up the Robbers

Before Leng Shaoting could figure out a good way to get rid of those robbers, the car in front of them stopped all of a sudden."Stop the car now!" Gu Ning said to their driver at once.

"What's wrong?" Zi Beiying asked with confusion, but Gu Ning didn't have time to explain it to her.

The driver listened to Gu Ning and stopped the car, but they were only three meters away from the robbers now.

Once their car stopped, those robbers jumped out with their guns.

"No way, robbers."

The driver realized that something terrible was going to happen. The driver was a local citizen, so he knew how dangerous it could be.

Mengda was sitting in the front passenger's seat, and he was also surprised by the scene.

There were a bunch of robbers on the road ahead of them.

"What? Robbers?" Zi Beiying and Nan exclaimed.

"You must have won too many valuable jade raw materials at the auction, and they noticed you. If they want your valuables, give it to them, and maybe you can survive," the driver said in a trembling voice.

It had happened many times before that robbers would follow rich bidders on their way back home. Normally, they only wanted money, so they wouldn't kill.

A few seconds later, the private car at the back stopped as well, and several men with guns got out of it without delay. It was impossible for Gu Ning and her friends to escape now.

"Since they only want the valuable jade raw materials, we can give them to them. Stay alert. If it's possible, we can fight back," Gu Ning said to Leng Shaoting, Zi Beiying and the others.

She didn't care about the jade raw materials, their safety was more important. However, if it was possible, she would seize the chance to fight back.

The five of them were all ace fighting masters, so it was easy for them to beat up several robbers.

Gu Ning wouldn't allow anyone to take advantage of her and get away with it.

"No problem," they said.

Zi Beiying wouldn't swallow an insult either, so she was determined to fight back as well.

The next second, their car was surrounded by the armed robbers.

One of them walked forward and knocked on the car window to tell them to get out of it.

Gu Ning and the others listened to him. Several robbers pointed guns against their backs and forced them to squat to the side.

"We just want money, not your lives. If you want to stay alive, be quiet," a robber said in English.

They didn't bother to hide their actions. Even though other car drivers who passed by this road noticed them, nobody dared to stop them, instead they all sped up and left soon.

Once Gu Ning and the others got out of their car, those robbers got into it and removed all of the jade raw materials.

Four robbers were left to guard Gu Ning and her friends, while the other four robbers moved the jade raw materials to their MPV.

They didn't know that Gu Ning and her friends weren't weak people, so they thought four of them could easily control them.

Right as the other four robbers moved the jade raw materials to the MPV, Gu Ning and her friends seized the chance. In tacit agreement, they began to attack those robbers.

Those robbers were surprised and totally unprepared for it.

Gu Ning didn't hesitate and used her magical power to help her. She held two handguns in her hands, then shot at the two robbers in front.

"Bam, bam." The bullets hit them in their laps, and they fell down to the ground at once.

The sudden gunshots shocked everyone, including Zi Beiying and the others, but Leng Shaoting stayed calm.

Zi Beiying and the others didn't know that Gu Ning had guns with her, but they had no time to think further about it right now.

The other two robbers put the jade raw materials in their hands down without delay, and got ready to fight back. However, before they could do it, Gu Ning replaced her guns with daggers and cut their belts off, then threw their guns back to Leng Shaoting.

Leng Shaoting had just beaten up two of the robbers, then ran towards Gu Ning and picked the guns up like lightning.

After picking up the guns that Gu Ning threw to him, Leng Shaoting quickly removed the guns from the two robbers who had been shot in their laps.

Leng Shaoting also heavily stomped on their chests, their ribs breaking with a clear sound. In that case, neither of them were a threat to them now.

Mengda, at the same time, ran to the MPV driver and wanted to control the driver.

With her Jade Eyes, Gu Ning saw that there were no more guns or bombs left in the car, so she didn't stop Mengda.

Within a short while, all the robbers were beaten on the ground.

Chapter 1094 Meet Dongfang Ziyu Again

Those robbers couldn't be more surprised now. They didn't expect to meet so many people who were excellent at fighting and had guns too.Gu Ning moved her jade raw materials back to their car.As for the MPV driver, Gu Ning had no intention to hurt him. The driver could drive those seriously injured robbers away.

Knowing that Gu Ning wouldn't hurt him, the driver felt quite relieved. He had thought that he would be killed today.

Gu Ning couldn't move all the jade raw materials back alone, so Zi Beiying and Nan ran to help her. "Gu Ning, you're so unbelievable! How could you beat them up within seconds by yourself?"

Zi Beiying was shocked by the scene. She knew that Gu Ning wasn't a weak girl, but Gu Ning's fighting skills were beyond her imagination.

Leng Shaoting was a little slower than Gu Ning, because Gu Ning had the help of her magical power. If she didn't use her magical power, she couldn't move faster than Leng Shaoting.

Gu Ning only smiled and said nothing. Those robbers had guns with them, but they weren't skilled at fighting. They were merely stronger than ordinary people, but were barely comparable to Gu Ning.

Leng Shaoting left all the guns in the MPV, because they couldn't leave with guns, it would cause them trouble.

Zi Beiying and the others were here, so he couldn't put the guns into Gu Ning's telepathic eye space either.

…

The driver of the car which Gu Ning and her friends took was also scared. He was even trembling in fear now, so Mengda replaced him to drive the car.

From the beginning to the end, there were few vehicles passing by this road. In addition, the fighting only lasted for five minutes, and they left soon.

However, two minutes later, Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua passed by in a private car.

At this time, the lucky driver who survived was pulling those seriously injured robbers back into the car.

Seeing the scene, the driver of the private car which Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua sat in sped up and drove away fast.

"What happened?" Wu Shunhua asked with confusion.

He thought that it was a car accident, but the MPV was fine, and only the people were badly injured.

"Those men are robbers, and they must have tried to rob another car but failed," the driver said.

"They have guns, but still failed?" Dongfang Ziyu was surprised. She didn't think ordinary human beings were able to fight against guns.

"I'm curious, who are the people they tried to rob? It seems like it happened only a short while ago. We can accelerate to see who's ahead of us!" Wu Shunhua was excited.

Dongfang Ziyu also wanted to figure it out, so she didn't stop him. Therefore, the driver accelerated at once.

Nevertheless, no matter how fast he drove the car, he couldn't catch up to the car in front, because Mengda was a very skilled driver.

When Gu Ning and her friends were far ahead, the driver who was sitting with them finally got his mind back. "Wow, you're really awesome."

Although he thought that it was very dangerous for them to have fought back against those armed robbers, it was clear that those robbers weren't their match.

…

About 8 pm, they left Burma and Zheng Peng was waiting for them at the customs.

Once they arrived, the driver from Burma drove the car back.

Gu Ning and the others then moved the jade raw materials to the car that Zheng Peng drove and they went to City Teng together.

…

Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua came to the customs afterwards. They felt a little disappointed that they couldn't find out who was in front of them.

…

Zheng Peng booked several rooms in a luxurious hotel for Gu Ning and her friends, while Gu Ning left the jade raw materials for him to handle.

They went to dine in the hotel first because they were starving.

During dinner, Gu Ning was checking flight tickets to the capital for the next day. They weren't in a hurry, so she booked plane tickets at 2 pm tomorrow.

Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua followed them and stayed in the same hotel as them.

It was the most famous five-star hotel in City Teng, so the rich people all stayed here.

Zi Beiying actually had several questions about the robbery today, but she asked nothing and let it go.

They were all tired, so they went to have a rest in their rooms after dinner.

The moment Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were back in their room, Gu Ning sensed something familiar from the next room.

It was something similar to her magical power, and Gu Ning sensed that it was from Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua, it was called the mysterious power.

Are they staying in this hotel too?

In order to make sure of it, Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to see the next room, then she found Dongfang Ziyu sitting alone, deep in meditation with a piece of good jade placed in front of her.

However, it wasn't the most surprising thing she found.

Chapter 1095 The Female Cultivator Next Door

What surprised Gu Ning the most was that the magical power of the jade was being absorbed into Dongfang Ziyu's body.Gu Ning rounded her eyes in shock, but also realized that cultivators really needed magical power to practice their inner discipline.

Although Dongfang Ziyu was in the middle of her practice, she sensed that someone was staring at her. However, she couldn't figure out why, because this room was completely closed. She had searched the room and found no surveillance camera.

Maybe it was a wrong impression.

She was in the middle of her practice now, so she couldn't stop, or her soul would be damaged. Therefore, she had to continue even if she felt like someone was staring at her.

Gu Ning also understood that cultivators all had acute senses, so she soon withdrew her look.

"Ningning, what's wrong?" Leng Shaoting asked Gu Ning with concern.

"Be quiet." Gu Ning made a hand gesture to tell Leng Shaoting to keep his voice low, then pulled him into the bedroom.

Dongfang Ziyu was sitting next to the living room, so Gu Ning was worried that Dongfang Ziyu might hear their discussion.

Zi Beiying was staying in the adjacent room next to their bedroom, but Zi Beiying was an ordinary person, so she couldn't hear their talk.

Gu Ning didn't open her mouth again until they were in the bedroom. "The female cultivator is in the next room."

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting was surprised.

"Cultivators have acute senses, so we can't make too many noises tonight," Gu Ning said all of a sudden.

Leng Shaoting understood Gu Ning's meaning and felt a little upset because they couldn't have sex tonight.

Gu Ning simply thought it would be super embarrassing if Dongfang Ziyu heard the sound of them making love.

Leng Shaoting respected Gu Ning, so he agreed. He only kissed and cuddled her before they went to sleep.

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting also didn't talk much in case Dongfang Ziyu heard anything important.

…

Dongfang Ziyu stopped practicing at 11 pm. After absorbing the magical power from the good jade, her mysterious power was improved a little, but she still needed to absorb more and more magical power.

It would take a long time for her to get to the next level of her inner discipline.

Dongfang Ziyu took a bath before she went to bed.

…

The next day, everyone got up around 7 am.

Gu Ning and the others didn't see Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua when they left their rooms, but they met them in the dining hall.

Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua were slightly surprised to see Gu Ning and her friends, but they didn't pay much attention to them.

Gu Ning and others left after having breakfast.

"Ziyu, could they have been the ones robbed by those robbers?" Wu Shunhua asked when Gu Ning and her friends left. They could see that Gu Ning and her friends were all good at fighting.

Dongfang Ziyu thought that it was possible.

"If that's the case, they must be very excellent at martial arts," Dongfang Ziyu said.

It wasn't easy to beat up eight armed robbers. Although Gu Ning also used guns, it was still very difficult.

"It's not important. Let's enjoy our breakfast now," Dongfang Ziyu added.

…

Gu Ning and the others planned to check out at 9 am.

"Will you go with us or not?" Gu Ning asked Zi Beiying.

"I'll go with you. I don't know what to do here," Zi Beiying said.

"Great, we'll check out at 9 am," Gu Ning said.

"Sure," Zi Beiying said.

At 9 am, they checked out together and went to Colorful Jade Provider.

"Wow, there are so many pieces of jade!��� Zi Beiying exclaimed the second she walked into the factory.

Even though she knew little about jade, she was aware that it was hard to cut out jade, especially jade of high quality.

Nevertheless, Gu Ning had Jade Eyes, so it was very easy for her to find good jade.

"Gu Ning, I thought that you're only the owner of Jade Beauty Jewelry, but it turns out that you own one of the three largest jade providers in City Teng as well!" Zi Beiying admired Gu Ning more than ever now.

"There is more you don't know," Gu Ning said with a mysterious smile.

"Which other companies do you have?" Zi Beiying asked curiously.

"It's not fun if I tell you directly. You can find out for yourself," Gu Ning said.

"You're right." Zi Beiying nodded.

…

At the same time, Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua went to the street of jade raw materials. They didn't play stone-gambling, but just came here to bid for jade.

After walking for a while, Dongfang Ziyu found the office of Colorful Jade Provider by the road. They didn't know that it was Gu Ning's company, but thought that there could be a lot of jade.

Without hesitation, Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua walked inside.

Chapter 1096 Song Haoyu

"Welcome to Colorful Jade Provider Office." The receptionist greeted them politely."Do you have jade of high quality?" Dongfang Ziyu asked. She hadn't heard of Colorful Jade Provider before, or she wouldn't have asked that question because Colorful Jade Provider was a well-known jade company in the jewelry industry now."Of course we have. Do you want to cooperate with us as a jewelry businessman, or to buy jade as a customer?" the receptionist asked.

There were two ways for Colorful Jade Provider to sell their jade: one, to cooperate with jewelry businessmen; two, to sell to individual customers. No matter which way was chosen, the amount was limited.

Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua were happy to hear that.

"I'm just a customer," Dongfang Ziyu said. She knew that it needed legal documents to cooperate with a jade provider as a jewelry businessman, but she didn't have them right now.

"Well, we can only offer each customer two pieces of jade of different levels each month." Saying that, the receptionist took out a booklet with all the information of jade on sale inside.

Although there were specific numbers of the size and weight of each piece of jade, they would measure again in front of the customer. In addition, the customer needed to sign a contract if he or she wanted to buy the jade.

Two pieces of jade each month?

It was the first time that Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua had heard of jade-purchasing limitation. Luckily, there were two of them, so they could buy four pieces of jade in all.

They could also choose jade of different levels.

"Please have a seat and enjoy." The receptionist invited Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua to have a seat in the lounge, then gave them the booklet and poured two cups of tea for them.

There was no top-level jade in the booklet, because top-level jade was kept for jewelry businessmen.

In the end, Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua bought two pieces of jade.

…

About 11 am, Gu Ning and the others went to dine together with Zheng Peng.

After lunch, it was already 12:30 pm, so Zheng Peng drove Gu Ning and her friends to the airport.

The plane would take off at 2:10 pm, so Gu Ning and her friends arrived at the airport at 1 pm.

They booked plane tickets for the first class, so they had a separate VIP lounge.

Zi Beiying was very excited thinking that she could have fun in the capital with Gu Ning. This wasn't the first time that she had been to the capital, but she felt quite different this time.

Zi Beiying was a little childlike normally, but could become very mature and stable when it was about something serious.

Coincidentally, they met Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua again in the same plane.

Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua sat in the economy class, so they didn't talk to each other.

"Why are we meeting them everywhere?" Wu Shunhua said to Dongfang Ziyu.

Gu Ning also said the same thing to her friends. "We've met them everywhere."

In fact, Leng Shaoting was worried every time they talked about cultivators, because he was afraid that they might hurt Gu Ning. However, he couldn't stop her from fighting against them.

Gu Ning sensed Leng Shaoting's emotional change, then said by his ears in a low voice to comfort him, "I know you're worried about me, but they aren't members of the Evil Practice. I'll be fine."

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting nodded.

After an hour and fifteen minutes, the plane landed at the airport of City Kun. It would stop here for 40 minutes.

Visitors whose destination was City Kun all got off the plane, and Gu Ning paid special attention to Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua. She found that they stayed in the plane, so she was sure that they were going to the capital as well.

Since Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua were heading to the capital too, Gu Ning thought that she should figure out what they would be doing there.

Gu Ning sent K a message at once, and told him to track Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua. Because she couldn't take photos of them, she simply described their appearances and ages to K.

After that, Gu Ning turned her phone off.

Leng Shaoting also checked his phone to see whether he had missed calls.

He found that Xu Jinchen had called him and left a message.

Xu Jinchen: Shaoting, Song Haoyu is challenging you. Do you want to accept it? I know you're coming back to the capital today, so I need to ask for your opinion first.

Although these were just lines of words, Leng Shaoting could feel that Xu Jinchen was gloating now. Not only Xu Jinchen, but all the rest members of the Red Flame were doing the same thing.

They were aware that only Song Haoyu was comparable to Leng Shaoting in the military. They were curious to know who was better.

Chapter 1097 The Eagles

Although Song Haoyu lost every time, Leng Shaoting didn't have a big advantage either.Precisely because Song Haoyu lost every time, he kept challenging Leng Shaoting once it was possible. There wasn't a gap between their fighting skills, so Song Haoyu always wanted to beat Leng Shaoting.

Song Haoyu was also a well-known figure in the military. He was 29 this year and the leader of the Eagles, which was a top squad, but his military rank was lower than Leng Shaoting. He was a senior colonel.

Even though the Eagles weren't better than the Red Flame, it wasn't much worse.

Leng Shaoting had an agreement with Song Haoyu that Song Haoyu could challenge him anytime as long as he was free. Therefore, Leng Shaoting replied in the affirmative and told Xu Jinchen that they would arrive at the capital about 9 pm that night.

Xu Jinchen told Song Haoyu the moment he received Leng Shaoting's reply.

Three minutes later, Xu Jinchen sent Leng Shaoting another message telling him that Song Haoyu wanted to have the competition tonight.

Leng Shaoting agreed. Afterwards, Leng Shaoting told Gu Ning about it.

"Ningning, can we go meet Jinchen and the others in a clubhouse tonight when we get back to the capital?" Leng Shaoting asked.

"Sure," Gu Ning said. "Can Beiying go with us?"

"Of course she can," Leng Shaoting said.

Gu Ning then asked Zi Beiying to have fun with them tonight, and Zi Beiying agreed without hesitation.

…

About 40 minutes later, the plane took off.

When they finally arrived at the capital, it was already 8:15 pm.

Leng Shaoting's car was stopped in the parking lot of the airport, so they went to the underground parking lot together.

Everyone checked their phones once they were off the plane.

Gu Ning didn't pay much attention to Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua, because K would keep a close eye on them for her.

K soon found Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua from the surveillance cameras according to Gu Ning's description. He also saw Gu Ning, Leng Shaoting, and Zi Beiying.

When Zi Beiying appeared in his sight, K was shocked. He clearly remembered that he had seen Zi Beiying once before.

Zi Beiying was born in the most powerful munitioner family in Southeast Asia. How come she was with Gu Ning now?

K was impressed by Gu Ning's connections again. Although he was surprised, it wasn't something he couldn't understand. He probably thought that everything was possible with Gu Ning.

K then turned to focus on Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua.

…

Gu Ning and the others left in the same car.

The car was large enough to accommodate the five of them.

When it was 9 pm, they arrived at the appointed clubhouse and Leng Shaoting gave Xu Jinchen a call.

…

In a private room, Xu Jinchen, Xu Jinlin, Chen Meng, Song Haoyu and Song Haoyu's friend were drinking together.

Song Haoyu was very handsome with delicate features, and he had a tall and strong build. Song Haoyu also looked a little cold, but he was still different from Leng Shaoting because he was only cold when he was with strangers. When he was with his friends, he was quite kind and easy-going.

Xu Jinchen shook his phone to Song Haoyu to show the caller's name and said, "Shaoting's here."

The next second, he answered the call and told Leng Shaoting the number of the private room.

"Song Haoyu, why can't you give up? You've never won," Xu Jinchen joked. He didn't think that Song Haoyu could beat Leng Shaoting.

Although Song Haoyu kept practicing his fighting skills, Leng Shaoting was doing the same thing, and Xu Jinchen felt that Leng Shaoting was quickly getting better and better these days.

"I'll never give up!" Song Haoyu said, then gave Xu Jinchen a glance of disdain. It meant that Xu Jinchen had easily given it up.

Xu Jinchen didn't know what to say, because it was the truth. A long time ago, he also had made a promise to surpass Leng Shaoting one day, but gradually gave up and forgot his words.

Hearing that, Chen Meng didn't dare say a word, in case Song Haoyu disdained him too.

Actually, it wasn't their fault, because Leng Shaoting was really a hard act to follow. Song Haoyu wouldn't give up challenging Leng Shaoting, but it was impossible for him to win!

…

Before long, Leng Shaoting and the others came.

When they walked inside, everyone was surprised.

Song Haoyu didn't expect to see Leng Shaoting coming inside with women. He thought that Leng Shaoting never liked being close to women.

"Hi, Jinchen, Chen Meng!" Zi Beiying greeted Xu Jinchen and Chen Meng at once.

"Oh, Miss Zi, what a surprise!" Xu Jinchen said.

"Hi, Miss Zi," Chen Meng said.

"Ha-ha, I come here for you, so that we can have fun together," Zi Beiying said with a broad smile.

Xu Jinchen laughed and said, "Great, come here and have a seat!""Thanks," Zi Beiying said."Hi, Shaoting, this is?" Song Haoyu stood up when Leng Shaoting walked inside, but he was very curious about the young girl who was standing by Leng Shaoting's side. He wondered whether the girl and Leng Shaoting were girlfriend and boyfriend, but thought that it wasn't likely.

However, before Leng Shaoting could say anything, Xu Jinchen interrupted them. "Please allow me to make the introduction. This is our Major General Leng's girlfriend!"

"What?" Song Haoyu rounded his eyes in shock.

"Hi." Gu Ning smiled at him.

"Oh, hi," Song Haoyu said at once.

"Alright, have a seat, everybody," Xu Jinlin said.

After that, they were all seated.

"Gu Ning, Miss Zi, this is Song Haoyu, Gu Zichuan, and my older brother, Xu Jinlin," Xu Jinchen said to Gu Ning and Zi Beiying.

"Nice to meet you all," Zi Beiying said.

"Nice to see you," Gu Ning said.

"This is Shaoting's girlfriend, Gu Ning, and this is our brother's younger sister, Zi Beiying," Xu Jinchen said to his friends.

"Nice to see you, Miss Gu and Miss Zi," Song Haoyu, Gu Zichuan and Xu Jinlin said.

"Alright, let's have a drink together!" Xu Jinchen proposed and raised his glass.

They drank red wine, so everyone had a sip of it.

"When will you have the competition? Right now, or in a while?" Xu Jinchen asked.

"They just arrived. We can relax for a while," Song Haoyu said.

Competition? What competition?

Gu Ning was confused and glanced at Leng Shaoting, but she didn't ask him any questions.

Although Gu Ning didn't ask, Leng Shaoting explained it to her of his own accord, "We'll have a competition of our fighting skills."

"Relax, Gu Ning, it has happened many times, but Shaoting has never once lost," Xu Jinchen said, in case Gu Ning was worried about Leng Shaoting's safety.

However, Gu Ning wasn't worried at all because she trusted him. During this time, Leng Shaoting became physically stronger with the help of her power crystals and he was able to move faster than usual.

"Xu Jinchen, although I've never won, couldn't you save some face for me?" Song Haoyu argued.

"Do I need to do that? You'll lose it sooner or later." Xu Jinchen rolled his eyes at Song Haoyu.

"You're a loser too," Song Haoyu said.

They argued with each other for a short while, then stopped.

"Why don't we have the competition now, in case we drink too much later?" Leng Shaoting stood up.

"Great!" Song Haoyu agreed.

Since they were going to have a competition of fighting skills, they needed to go to a special martial art room.

Song Haoyu already booked a VIP martial art room for them. Their private room was on the third floor, while the martial art room was on the first floor.

"Oh, hi, Jinchen!"

Just as they reached the first floor, a surprised female voice sounded from the center of the hall. They turned around and found a beautiful young woman walking towards them excitedly.

Nevertheless, Xu Jinchen didn't seem happy to see her. "Hi, Miss Wu."

"Jinchen, what a coincidence!" Wu Mina said, then she saw Xu Jinlin and greeted him too. "Oh, hi, nice to see you again, Jinlin."

"Nice to see you, Miss Wu," Xu Jinlin replied politely.

It was obvious that Xu Jinchen and Xu Jinlin weren't close to Wu Mina, and they even deliberately kept a distance from her.

Although Wu Mina didn't know Leng Shaoting and Song Haoyu, she was impressed by their handsome looks. She felt she was quite lucky today to meet so many good-looking men.

"Sorry, Miss Wu, we've gotta leave now," Xu Jinchen said and interrupted Wu Mina's thought.

"What?" Wu Mina got her mind back and asked, "Why do you have to leave so early?"

"Jesus, Mina, are these handsome men all your friends? Why don't you introduce them to us?" At this moment, two women walked up to Wu Mina.

"Come on, let's have fun together tonight!" one of them said.

Both of the two women were flirtatious.

"Shut up!" Wu Mina snapped at them, in case Xu Jinchen was displeased.

"Jinchen, I'm sorry. They're just kidding. Please don't be mad," she added.

The two women shut their mouths at once. They weren't mad at Wu Mina, but were confused about why Wu Mina behaved so strangely. They thought that Wu Mina probably admired this man.

It was very normal because Xu Jinchen was really handsome.

"Miss Wu, I don't mind, but we do have to leave now," Xu Jinchen said.

"Fine." Wu Mina was disappointed, but she couldn't stop him.

After that, she had to watch Xu Jinchen and the others walking out of her sight.

"Do you know who they are? How could you talk to him like that?" Wu Mina vented her anger at her friends.

Her attitude changed completely.

Chapter 1099 Have a Round with Gu Ning?

"Who is he?" Wu Mina's friends asked with curiosity."He's Lord Xu. I told you before!" Wu Mina said in anger.

"What?"

Hearing that, the two women were shocked.

"Wow, he's Lord Xu? He's a perfect example of a super-rich, handsome young man! No wonder you can't forget him,"

"If I were you, I couldn't forget him either," they said.

"Well, he has no interest in me." Wu Mina was upset. She wasn't dumb, and she knew that he disliked her.

In fact, Wu Mina's family and the Xu family were partners in business, so they knew each other, but weren't familiar.

Wu Mina fell in love with Xu Jinchen at first glance because of his outstanding appearance and family background. Even though Wu Mina didn't know much about him, she still admired him.

"No, I must figure out a way to make him love me. I'm an outstanding woman too. I don't think that I don't deserve him!" Wu Mina said with determination.

Wu Mina was indeed very attractive, so she was unwilling to give up.

Although the Wu family wasn't comparable to the Xu family, it was also a well-known and rich family in the capital.

"Mina, we trust you. You can do it!" Wu Mina's friends encouraged her at once, although they didn't think it was highly likely.

Xu Jinchen was a rare quality man, and he had countless admirers. Wu Mina was indeed an attractive woman, but there were far more attractive women in the capital than her. Moreover, Wu Mina had known Xu Jinchen for a long time. If Xu Jinchen liked her, they would have been together a long while ago.

….

Xu Jinchen didn't bother to talk about Wu Mina, so they went to the martial art room afterwards.

Before long, the competition began.

It was a very exciting competition between two top special forces soldiers. They were both agile and Song Haoyu seemed to be as strong as Leng Shaoting.

Gu Ning, however, was very sure that Song Haoyu was no match for Leng Shaoting. The others held the same opinion.

Even though they didn't know much about fighting skills, it was still obvious that Leng Shaoting was much better than Song Haoyu.

After a long while, Song Haoyu found that it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to defeat Leng Shaoting. He was also surprised by Leng Shaoting's great progress. He thought that he was improving his skills at a fast speed, but the gap between them seemed to be widening.

Leng Shaoting later got full control of Song Haoyu. They stopped at once, because they had the competition just for fun.

"Shaoting, what have you eaten or done? You've made significant progress!" Song Haoyu said.

Leng Shaoting had really eaten something special, but he couldn't tell Song Haoyu the truth.

"Ha-ha, I've eaten some magical pills," Leng Shaoting joked, because he knew that nobody would believe it except Gu Ning.

Song Haoyu also laughed.

"Ha-ha, ha-ha, Song Haoyu, you lost again!" Xu Jinchen gloated over Song Haoyu's failure.

It wasn't a surprising result. It would only be a surprise if Song Haoyu won.

"So what? You don't dare have the competition, so I think that I'm still better than you," Song Haoyu retorted.

"You…" Xu Jinchen was mad, but didn't know how to argue back.

"I won't give up, and we can have the competition again the next time," Song Haoyu said.

"No problem." Leng Shaoting agreed.

Xu Jinchen wanted to make fun of Song Haoyu, but swallowed his words in case Song Haoyu laughed at him. However, he still felt uncomfortable that Song Haoyu was unwilling to give up. He wondered whether Song Haoyu would feel upset if Gu Ning could easily defeat him.

Thinking of that, Xu Jinchen blurted it out, "Song Haoyu, why don't you have a round with Gu Ning after having a rest for a while?"

The second Xu Jinchen finished that, he realized that he shouldn't say that, so he turned to look at Leng Shaoting to see whether Leng Shaoting was displeased.

They didn't know whether Gu Ning was better than Leng Shaoting, so she might be hurt in the competition with Song Haoyu.

Fortunately, Leng Shaoting stayed calm.

Gu Ning, at the same time, got interested.

Leng Shaoting knew that Gu Ning wasn't a weak girl, and they had the competition just for fun, so she wouldn't be hurt.

Song Haoyu and Gu Zichuan, however, were shocked, looking at Xu Jinchen and Gu Ning. They couldn't believe that Xu Jinchen proposed that.

Gu Ning was a slim young girl after all, and they didn't believe that she could defeat a strong man in a competition of fighting skills.

In fact, except for Song Haoyu and Gu Zichuan, the others didn't think that there was anything wrong with that idea. Although they weren't very sure that Gu Ning could defeat Song Haoyu, they knew that she wouldn't lose too badly.

Chapter 1100 Gu Ning Defeats Song Haoyu

"Xu Jinchen, did I hear that right? Do you want me to have a round with Miss Gu?" Song Haoyu asked with surprise. He still couldn't believe it."Right," Xu Jinchen said, then felt a little embarrassed. "Gu Ning, are you willing to do that?"

Although Leng Shaoting agreed, they still needed to ask for Gu Ning's opinion.

"Sure," Gu Ning said. She was interested in it.

Song Haoyu wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say, because Gu Ning already accepted it, which meant that she wasn't afraid of him. However, he was curious to know whether Gu Ning was really good at fighting.

She was a young student, while he was a senior soldier in the army. If he lost, it would be super embarrassing. Thinking of that, Song Haoyu felt a little nervous, but he did his best to calm down.

He had the courage to challenge Leng Shaoting, so he should be calm when he was challenged by a young girl.

After a short while, Song Haoyu adjusted his emotions properly.

The others all moved away and left enough space for them.

"Why don't we have a bet?" Xu Jinchen said all of a sudden.

"I bet that Ningning will win," Leng Shaoting said at once. He was confident that Gu Ning would win.

"Me too, but what should we bet?" Zi Beiying said and asked.

"The loser should buy a meal for the winner and the winner can decide what to eat," Xu Jinchen said.

They were all rich people, and did it simply for fun.

"I also bet that Gu Ning can win," Chen Meng said.

"Me too!" Xu Jinlin said. He did that because of Leng Shaoting.

"Zichuan, how about you?" Xu Jinchen asked.

"I'm with Haoyu." Gu Zichuan was Song Haoyu's friend, so he definitely supported Song Haoyu.

"Alright, I bet that Gu Ning will win. It seems only Zichuan believes that Haoyu will win," Xu Jinchen said and gloated.

"Xu Jinchen, are you doing this on purpose?" Song Haoyu said. He felt that it was a trap right now.

"So?" Xu Jinchen said in a provocative tone. They were good friends, so he wasn't worried that Song Haoyu would really be mad at him.

Seeing that, Gu Ning was amused. She couldn't help but think that Xu Jinchen and Song Haoyu might be a great couple. However, she was shocked by her idea the next second. Could they really be a gay couple?

Gu Ning didn't dare to think further about it.

Without further ado, the competition between Gu Ning and Song Haoyu began.

"Mr. Song, please don't be gentle just because I'm a girl. We can have this competition with our real ability," Gu Ning said.

"No problem," Song Haoyu said. As long as Gu Ning could accept it, he was willing to show his real ability.

Afterwards, they began to attack each other.

In the beginning, Gu Ning didn't use her magical power to help her. However, there were many people who wanted her to win, so she was reluctant to let them down. If she couldn't win the competition with her own physical strength, she would use her magical power.

Neither of them used their full strength at the very beginning, because both of them wanted to figure out the other's level first.

Gu Ning knew how good Song Haoyu was, but Song Haoyu didn't know how good Gu Ning was yet.

After a few minutes, Song Haoyu realized that Gu Ning was a master, so he started to treat this competition seriously.

Gu Ning also gradually used more of her strength. As the competition became fierce, Song Haoyu was shocked by her ability. He felt that Gu Ning was much better than him.

Gu Zichuan was also amazed by Gu Ning's performance.

About 10 minutes later, it was still a draw, and Gu Ning hadn't used her magical power yet.

After a short while, Gu Ning and Song Haoyu were losing strength, but there was still no clear winner.

It shocked everyone because they didn't know that Gu Ning was such a great match for Song Haoyu.

Actually, if Gu Ning used her magical power to help her, she could easily win the competition within several minutes.

"It's been 20 minutes now, but it's still a tie. I think there is no winner in this round," Chen Meng said.

"Don't jump to conclusions,�� Leng Shaoting said, because he knew Gu Ning hadn't done the best of her ability yet. Although he wasn't aware of Gu Ning's magical power, he knew that Gu Ning could do better.

Gu Ning indeed wanted to win, but she would do that after enjoying the competition. After she enjoyed it, she suddenly used her magical power to fill herself with full strength, and easily got control of Song Haoyu.

The sudden change surprised everyone except Leng Shaoting. They began to think that Gu Ning was hiding her real ability at the beginning.

Gu Ning was actually much better than they thought she would be.

Song Haoyu was already out of strength, so he was obviously the loser.

Everyone wondered, since Gu Ning was able to defeat Song Haoyu, can she defeat Leng Shaoting?
