1161 Zhou Mingkang"s Girlfriend
Once Zhou Zhengtang left, the others walked away too, and Zhou Zhenghong went into the store.
The staff inside the store witnessed everything, and everyone was mad at Zhou Zhengtang. They had seen many shameless relatives before, but Zhou Zhengtang's behavior was still beyond their imagination.
They worked for Jade Beauty Jewelry, so they were aware that Zhou Zhenghong was an important shareholder of it, but they wouldn't say it aloud.
…
When Zhou Zhengtang went back home in anger, his wife understood that they failed again, but she still asked, "How is it?"
"He refused to buy a house and a car for us! He even embarrassed me in public by saying that he has already paid a lot for us before. Why does he have to be so mean? He's rich enough to afford it after all," Zhou Zhengtang said. He still believed that he had done nothing wrong, and it was all Zhou Zhenghong's fault.
"How could he do that? Does he think he's better than us just because he's rich?" Zhou Zhengtang's wife said.
She made it sound as if Zhou Zhenghong had taken advantage of them.
Zhou Zhengtang and her wife were the same kind of people. Both of them were extremely selfish and greedy.
However, they didn't notice that their son, Zhou Mingkang, and their son's fiancée, Li Fei, heard their conversation at this moment.
Li Fei was struck dumb for a second, and it took a long while for her to digest it. She was surprised by her future parents-in-law's shamelessness.
She was going to marry Zhou Mingkang, but Zhou Mingkang's parents asked his uncle for a free house and car.
In fact, Li Fei never asked for a house and a car before they got married, because she knew that they weren't rich, and she also decided to fight for it along with Zhou Mingkang. After all, they worked in a public institution with decent pay and good social welfare.
Therefore, as long as they could afford the down payment, it wasn't difficult for them to buy a house by getting a mortgage.
They had only joined the workforce for a year, so their salaries weren't very high, but their salaries could increase over time.
Li Fei was scared by Zhou Zhengtang and his wife. She didn't think that she could live a happy life with them if she married into such a family. Although Zhou Mingkang's parents did it for them, she disliked their way of thinking.
Even Zhou Mingkang was shocked by his parents' conversation. He disliked his parents' values and behavior too, but he wouldn't blame them because they were his parents.
Li Fei, however, was different. She hadn't married into the family yet, and she found that she couldn't accept their values.
"Mingkang, I can't stand this, I think we should end our relationship," she said to Zhou Mingkang with a serious expression.
After that, she turned around and walked away without hesitation. Li Fei was determined, because it wasn't the first time that she had been disgusted by the words or behavior of Zhou Mingkang's parents.
Although Zhou Mingkang's parents already accepted her as their future daughter-in-law, she sensed that there was something wrong with his parents' values when they spent some time together.
Li Fei wasn't satisfied, but she thought she was going to marry Zhou Mingkang, not his parents, so she tolerated it. In addition, people all had shortcomings. Nevertheless, what Zhou Mingkang's parents had said and done today was totally unacceptable in her eyes.
She still loved Zhou Mingkang, but she had to make a choice now. She couldn't be happy if she married into such a family.
They couldn't afford a house right now, so she would have to live with Zhou Mingkang's parents for years. In that case, she would have endless conflict with his parents. It wasn't the marriage or life she wanted.
…
Zhou Zhengtang and his wife were surprised when they heard Li Fei's voice and they turned to look at the door. They didn't think that they were wrong, and they were annoyed by Li Fei's attitude.
"Feifei!" Zhou Mingkang stopped Li Fei at once by pulling her hand. He also loved Li Fei very much, and was unwilling to lose her.
"What did you just say?" Zhou Mingkang's mother questioned her. She accepted Li Fei as her future daughter-in-law, but it didn't mean that she would treat Li Fei very well as a member of her family. In her eyes, a daughter-in-law was always an outsider. Besides, she believed that she was more important than her daughter-in-law.
"Mom, stop it now," Zhou Mingkang said and frowned.
1162 For Your Own Good
"What? Did I say anything wrong? She hasn't married into our family yet, and she already dares to criticize me!" Zhou Mingkang's mother said.
"Mom, don't say that." Zhou Mingkang tried to stop his mother. He was displeased because of his mother's words, and he didn't want his girlfriend to dump him right before their wedding.
Zhou Mingkang thought that it was nothing personal, and it was obviously his parents' fault.
"You don't need to worry about that, because I'm not going to marry into your family!" Li Fei said with determination and struggled to get rid of Zhou Mingkang's hand.
"Feifei, don't." Zhou Mingkang held Li Fei's hand tight.
"Mingkang, let her go. You can find someone better than her!" Zhou Mingkang's mother said with arrogance. In her eyes, Li Fei didn't deserve her son.
"Mom!" Zhou Mingkang was mad. He didn't understand why his mother became so unreasonable all of a sudden. Actually, it only proved that Zhou Mingkang didn't know his parents well.
The truth was that Zhou Zhenghong had helped his parents a lot before, so Zhou Mingkang wasn't aware of how greedy his parents were.
Once Zhou Zhenghong lost everything, his parents kept a distance from Zhou Zhenghong. And when Zhou Zhenghong got rich again, their parents finally showed their real colors.
Zhou Mingkang knew nothing about what his parents had done before, or he would feel utterly embarrassed.
"Enough, let her go! We don't welcome her here," Zhou Zhengtang said in anger. He was in a terrible mood now, and Li Fei's attitude irritated him.
"Dad!" Zhou Mingkang felt helpless.
"Zhou Mingkang, let me go!" Li Fei was furious.
"Mingkang, let her go!" Zhou Zhengtang and his wife gave an order.
"I'll go with you, and we can have a talk in private," Zhou Mingkang said. He knew that they couldn't stay at his home any longer.
However, his mother stopped him. "You should stay, and let her go. If you dare to leave with her, you're forbidden from coming back again."
"Mom!" Zhou Mingkang raised his voice.
"Mingkang, stay home today, and don't go anywhere," Zhou Zhengtang said and pulled Zhou Mingkang over with great force.
"Dad.��� Zhou Mingkang almost had a breakdown at this time. He even blamed himself for going back home today.
Li Fei seized this chance and got rid of his hand, then left without turning around at all.
Zhou Mingkang could only watch her leaving.
"Mom, dad, how could you ask my uncle for a house and a car? Feifei didn't ask for that, and my uncle already bought this apartment for us. He's very nice to us," Zhou Mingkang said when Li Fei was gone.
Hearing that, Zhou Zhengtang shouted, "He's my younger brother and he has enough money to buy an apartment for me."
Zhou Mingkang thought that it was ridiculous. It wasn't a younger brother's duty to support his older brother even if he was rich.
However, his father took it for granted.
Zhou Mingkang didn't know what to say, because his father was too old to change his way of thinking.
"We want a house for your own good. Don't you know the housing price is incredibly high right now? We can���t afford a house ourselves." Zhou Mingkang's mother argued.
Although they had an apartment, they still wanted a house.
"Enough! Why don't you simply admit that you're greedy? Do you think your behavior is reasonable? It's amoral. I don't want my colleagues or friends to know I have such parents. They'll despise me!" Zhou Mingkang lost his temper.
He didn't want his parents' behavior to affect his job. He could tolerate his parents, but other people wouldn't.
Zhou Zhengtang and his wife closed their mouths at once, because they knew how powerful rumors were.
Actually, Zhou Mingkang's mother loved gossiping, and she always talked about other people's private lives with her friends.
If other people knew what they had done, their family's reputation would be damaged. What was worse, it would affect her son's career in the public institution as well. Therefore, Zhou Mingkang's mother stopped arguing.
Zhou Mingkang was full of anger. Since Zhou Zhengtang forbade him to leave home, he could only lock himself in his room and called Li Fei at once, but Li Fei refused to answer his calls.
Zhou Mingkang had to give up calling in the end, then threw his phone on his bed. Because his bed was soft, his phone wasn't damaged at all.
Chapter 1163 Han Wenling Calls
He didn't blame Li Fei for breaking up with him, because he couldn't tolerate his parents' behavior either.He only felt like he probably wasn't that important in Li Fei's eyes. He thought that it was enough that they loved each other, but Li Fei had a different opinion.
They had to live with Zhou Mingkang's parents after getting married, and it was unavoidable to have conflict.
Li Fei went straight back to her own home, and talked about it with her parents.
Although her family weren't as rich as Zhou Mingkang's family, her parents had principles.
Li Fei didn't want to marry Zhou Mingkang, and her parents supported her.
…
At 2 pm, Gu Ning received a call from an acquaintance.
"Miss Gu, this is Han Wenling. We met each other at your parents' wedding last time," a woman said once Gu Ning picked up the call.
Han Wenling was very polite to Gu Ning, and she didn't take Gu Ning lightly just because she was very young, because she knew that Gu Ning was too outstanding to be despised.
Han Wenling?
Gu Ning was a little surprised that she would call her. She was curious to know why Han Wenling suddenly called her.
Because it was very easy for Han Wenling to get her phone number, Gu Ning didn't feel like it was strange.
"Hi, Miss Han, may I help?" Gu Ning asked nicely. She thought that Han Wenling wasn't a bad person.
Although Han Wenling had mocked Gu Man and annoyed Gu Ning before, it wasn't unforgivable. Gu Ning actually didn't mind, because Han Wenling was a smart woman.
"Well, I tried the ointment you sent me last time, and it's quite effective. I found out that Colaine is yours afterwards, and I have an idea to cooperate with you," Han Wenling said.
In fact, when she found out that Gu Ning was the owner of Colaine, she was really surprised.
Colaine was a very successful medical brand on the market after all. Its customers all left positive comments about it.
It was the right way to make a fortune!
Han Wenling knew the competition to cooperate must be fierce, but she still wanted to try.
"Miss Han, can you tell me your plan?" Gu Ning asked. She was willing to sell Han Wenling some products if Han Wenling wanted to open a store, but she wouldn't allow Han Wenling to produce the products.
"I plan to establish a factory in City Q to produce the medical and skincare products of this brand," Han Wenling said.
Gu Ning frowned. She actually had the feeling that Han Wenling would say that, so she wasn't surprised.
Han Wenling was a successful entrepreneur herself, and a small pharmacy couldn't satisfy her need of making a fortune.
"Um, I'm sorry, Miss Han. If you want to open a pharmacy and purchase products from my company, we'd love to cooperate with you, but I can't agree with you wanting to establish a factory," Gu Ning said.
"Why? It's a win-win for both of us." It wasn't a surprising answer, because Han Wenling had called Ning Changkai before, and Ning Changkai turned her down too.
Ning Changkai didn't tell her the specific reason, but just told her that cooperating with another company to produce their products was not allowed.
Gu Ning had set the rule for Ning Changkai, so Ning Changkai worked according to it.
Han Wenling called Gu Ning afterwards only hoping that Gu Ning might change her mind.
Even though she wasn't familiar with Gu Ning, they had met each other once before. She wasn't confident that Gu Ning would agree, but she was unwilling to give up.
"I don't want other people to share the brand founded by me," Gu Ning said.
Gu Ning's attitude was quite obvious, so Han Wenling didn't insist. "Fine, I understand."
Since Gu Ning disagreed, Han Wenling didn't say anything further about it.
"Miss Gu, I do admire your skills of running a business, and I hope that you can forgive me for my previous behavior. If you don't mind, we can stay in touch," Han Wenling said.
Han Wenling indeed wanted to make friends with Gu Ning. She wasn't annoyed at Gu Ning just because Gu Ning was Tang Yunfan's daughter.
"Miss Han, I don't mind it at all, and it's my honor to be your friend," Gu Ning said.
Han Wenling was a woman of high social status, and it wasn't a bad thing for Gu Ning to have a good relationship with her.
Although she didn't know much about Han Wenling, she was willing to get familiar with her.
Han Wenling was cheered up. "Great, Miss Gu, please do call me if you visit City Q next time. We must meet up sometime."
"Sure, no problem," Gu Ning said.
After that, they hung up the call.
Chapter 1164 Not an Advertisemen
A short while later, Gu Ning received Bai Xueyan's call.Bai Xueyan called Gu Ning because she had obviously heard that Gu Ning was in City G.
It was a Sunday, and Bai Xueyan was free from school, so she hung out with her friends that morning.
When she came home, she found her grandfather, Master Bai, in a very good mood, so she asked for the reason.
Master Bai then told her that Gu Ning was in City G now and Bai Xueyan went to call Gu Ning at once.
The moment Gu Ning answered her call, she complained in annoyance, "Gu Ning, why didn't you tell me that you're in City G now? Aren't we friends?"
"I called Grandpa Bai this morning, but you weren't home. I didn't want to interrupt you, so I didn't call you. We can see each other later," Gu Ning said.
"Alright," Bai Xueyan said and her anger was relieved.
���Where are you right now?" she asked.
"I'm in a café. Do you want to meet me earlier?" Gu Ning asked.
It was only 3:30 pm, and their appointed time was 6 pm.
Gu Ning had nothing else to deal with, so she went to have a seat with Gao Yi and Qiao Ya in a café.
"Sure! Tell me the address. I'm coming!" Bai Xueyan's eyes lit up.
Gu Ning then told Bai Xueyan the location of the café, and Bai Xueyan arrived in 20 minutes.
"Gu Ning, who are they?" Bai Xueyan didn't know Gao Yi and Qiao Ya, so she asked Gu Ning.
"They're both my secretaries and bodyguards, Gao Yi and Qiao Ya," Gu Ning said.
"Hi, nice to meet you!" Bai Xueyan greeted them.
Although they were just secretaries and bodyguards, Bai Xueyan still showed her respect.
"Nice to meet you too, Miss Bai," Gao Yi and Qiao Yan politely said.
After that, Gu Ning began to chat with Bai Xueyan.
Bai Xueyan mentioned Allan in their conversation, and that she hadn't seen him for a long time.
Gu Ning thought that Allan must be busy dealing with his business, because he was the president of Technology Company G of Country Y after all.
Bai Xueyan didn't know that Allan was running a large company. She thought that he was only an ordinary businessman.
Gu Ning smiled and said nothing further about Allan. In Allan's eyes, Bai Xueyan was simply a naughty child.
…
When it was almost the appointed time, they went to the restaurant together.
As the host, Gu Ning was supposed to arrive earlier than her guests, so she arrived at 5:20 pm.
Master Bai and his friends came at 5:30 pm.
They greeted each other the second they met one another.
"Girl Gu, I heard your business is growing increasingly big, and the famous clothing brand, Charm, is also yours, right?" Master Fu asked.
They had learned about it from the news conference.
"Ha-ha, Girl Gu is a talented businesswoman. I��m not surprised that her business could be so successful," Master Bai said with great pride.
It sounded as if Gu Ning was his granddaughter.
After talking for a while, Gu Ning told Gao Yi to present the gifts she prepared for Master Bai and the other masters.
"You already invite us to share this meal together. Why did you still bring gifts for us," Master Bai said.
Gu Ning smiled. "Well, these are bottles of nutritious liquid for aged people produced by Colaine, and they are good for your health."
Gu Ning bought them from the Colaine store in City G.
"There is nutritious liquid for different people of different ages as well, so you can let your family members try it if you think it's effective," Gu Ning said.
It wasn't an advertisement, Gu Ning said that for the sake of their health.
"I've heard of Colaine, and many people say its medical and skincare products are really good," Bai Xueyan said.
Bai Xueyan often surfed on the Internet, so she read a lot of news about Colaine, but she didn't know that Gu Ning was its boss.
"Yeah, they're indeed very good, and you can tell your mother to try Kouzi," Gu Ning said.
Gu Ning had everything in the telepathic eye space, but she couldn't take out a set of skincare products from it right now. Anyway, Kouzi wasn't expensive, and Mrs. Bai could afford it.
Although Kouzi was going to be an International high-end brand, its current prices were still acceptable for most consumers.
"Sure!" Bai Xueyan said.
Since it was Gu Ning's recommendation, Bai Xueyan easily accepted it.
"Girl Gu, does Colaine belong to you too?" Master Yan suddenly asked.
Hearing that, the others turned to look at Gu Ning with surprise.
Gu Ning smiled and said, "Right, Colaine belongs to me, but I didn't come here today to do an ad for it. It really is very effective, so I recommended it to you all."
She sincerely hoped that her friends could be healthy and beautiful at the same time.
Chapter 1165 A Body Thrown into the River
The others were surprised, not because Colaine belonged to Gu Ning, but because Gu Ning owned another company within such a short time. Her business empire grew too fast!"Wow, you own another company so quickly!" Master Bai said in surprise.
"Right, and it seems quite profitable," Master Fu said.
"You're indeed a talented businesswoman!" Master Yan said.
Since it was Gu Ning's company, they believed that this product had to be very effective.
…
During the meal, they enjoyed talking with each other in a relaxed atmosphere.
At the beginning, Bai Xueyan could join their conversation, but she was gradually ignored, so she turned to enjoy the food by herself.
When they were about to separate, Bai Xueyan asked Gu Ning, "Gu Ning, when will you leave City G?"
"Tomorrow. I'll go to City B and stay there for a few days before I go back to my school for the National College Entrance Examination," Gu Ning said.
Hearing that, Master Bai and the others realized that Gu Ning was still a student and that she was about to attend the National College Entrance Examination.
They wished Gu Ning all the best before they left.
Gu Ning then told Gao Yi to drive her to Clean Water Blue Sky before they went back to the hotel.
She got out of the car at the gate of Clean Water Blue Sky, but she didn't want to go back to her apartment right away. Instead, she took a taxi and headed to a river.
The jiao hadn't touched water for a long time, and Gu Ning thought that she should let it out to have some fresh air.
It was May, and it was still a little hot, so there were many people wandering by the river to cool themselves down.
Gu Ning planned to set the jiao into the river, and she had to do that in a place where there were no other people around her. Therefore, she walked downstream.
All of a sudden, a woman stopped her. "Hey, young girl, stop there! Are you walking downstream? If so, you better give it up. It's not safe there. A girl did the same thing not long ago after being dumped by her boyfriend, but she was raped by a man and her body was thrown into the river. Nobody knows where the criminal is right now."
Knowing that, Gu Ning put on a serious face. She hated rapists, and had sympathy for the victim.
"Thank you so much for your kindness. I won't go there," Gu Ning said.
The woman felt relieved and kindly reminded Gu Ning to go home early.
After the woman was gone, Gu Ning continued to walk downstream. Ordinary people might be scared of a place where a person was just killed, but Gu Ning didn't mind it at all.
She let the jiao out once there was nobody around her.
The jiao swam into the river without delay and Gu Ning went to have a seat by the river.
However, the jiao emerged from the river after a short while and said to Gu Ning, "My master, there is a female ghost under the river, but she was scared away by me."
Gu Ning was struck dumb for a second.
The female ghost could be the innocent girl's ghost!
It was just Gu Ning's guess, and it could be other people's ghosts. However, since there was a female ghost in the river, Gu Ning decided to check it herself.
As time went by, Gu Ning began to take it as her duty to wipe out all kinds of monsters and ghosts. It was kind of her destiny. She always ran into monsters and ghosts, and they were bad for ordinary human beings.
In addition, she found that there was a strong energy inside her body that increased every time she eliminated a monster or a ghost. She couldn't figure it out, but felt that it was beneficial.
"I'll put you into the telepathic eye space now, and then let you out again when I find the female ghost," Gu Ning said.
"No problem," the jiao said.
After that, Gu Ning put on a wetsuit and dived into the river.
Since the female ghost was already scared away by the jiao, she wouldn't be nearby, but she wouldn't be far away either.
Gu Ning released her magical power at once to attract the female ghost.
Smelling the magical power, the female ghost went to Gu Ning without hesitation.
The female ghost was about 20, dressed in a white summer dress with her hair tied into a ponytail.
It was filled with negative feelings, but the Yin she was covered in wasn't dark, which meant that she had only been dead for a short time. The Yin was produced by her hatred after her death.
Gu Ning was now sure that this girl was the innocent victim that the woman told her about.
The female ghost stopped when it was three meters away from Gu Ning.
It stopped, not because it knew Gu Ning was very powerful, but because it didn't want to hurt human beings.
The female ghost was surprised that the magical power came from a human, instead of an object. It thought that the object with magical power might be on Gu Ning's body.
Gu Ning knew what the female ghost was thinking, and she thought that it was very kind.
"Are you the girl who was raped and killed not a long ago?" Gu Ning asked.
1166 Punish Him
Gu Ning understood that it might hurt this girl if she was so straightforward, but she needed to do that to get the answer.
The female ghost was surprised that Gu Ning could see her and talk to her. It wondered how Gu Ning was able to speak in the water.
The female ghost became alert and asked, "Who are you? How can you see me and talk to me in the water?"
"It's not important, but you can tell me what happened to you because I can help you," Gu Ning said.
"Can you really help me?" Maybe because it ached to take revenge, it didn't ask Gu Ning why she wanted to help it, but only felt excited.
"Yeah, but I need you to tell me the story behind your death," Gu Ning said.
"No problem." The female ghost didn't think too much and decided to tell Gu Ning everything.
"It wasn't an accident that I was raped and killed, but a scheme made by my boyfriend, because I caught him taking and selling drugs. I wanted to break up with him, but he disagreed, so I threatened to call the police. He agreed at the beginning and let me go, but then arranged for someone to rape and kill me in case I called the police."
Knowing that, Gu Ning was annoyed. "Tell me some basic information about your boyfriend."
"His name's Wan Chao, he is 28. I met him in a bar and fell in love with him at first glance because he's very tall and handsome. My friend told me that Wan Chao also had a good impression of me and that he works in a big company with a good salary. I don't care that much about money actually. Anyway, we got together afterwards. We often hung out in a bar with our mutual friends, but then I suddenly found out that he had always been lying to me. He doesn't work in a big company at all, but is a member of the Qing Gang!" the female ghost said with hatred in her voice.
Gu Ning squinted. If the man was a member of the Qing Gang, it would be much easier for her to deal with it.
"What bar is it?" Gu Ning asked.
"Wind Bar," the female ghost said.
"How do you want to punish him?" Gu Ning asked.
The female ghost clenched its teeth. "I want him to be tortured for the rest of his life!"
"Sure, as you wish." Gu Ning agreed. "I can take you to see him."
"Really?" The female ghost was excited, because it wanted to witness what would happen to Wan Chao. It would only feel pleased when it saw the punishment handed out to Wan Chao with its own eyes.
"Yeah," Gu Nings said.
"Let's go now," the female ghost said.
"Oh, by the way, what's your name?" Gu Ning asked.
"My name's Lin Xiaoyu," the female ghost said.
After that, Gu Ning put the female ghost into the telepathic eye space and left.
She couldn't let the jiao out again today, and planned to let it out tomorrow when she was in City B.
Gu Ning changed her clothes and called Situ Ye.
Although it wasn't necessary to call Situ Ye, who was too important, to deal with an unimportant member in the gang, Gu Ning still thought that she should let Situ Ye know first before she went to punish his people.
"Hi, it's rare to receive your call! Do you need my help?" Situ Ye asked. He felt honored that Gu Ning needed him.
"Yeah," Gu Ning said. "Well, the thing is that a friend of my friend was raped and killed a few days ago. The mastermind is a man called Wan Chao. I heard that Wan Chao is a member of the Qing Gang and he works in Wind Bar."
"Wait a minute, I'll find this person and give him to you," Situ Ye said at once.
Even though the Qing Gang was an illegal gang, personal crimes weren't acceptable. In addition, Gu Ning personally called Situ Ye for help, so Situ Ye wouldn't hesitate to help her.
"Thank you so much, and I'm sorry that I have to punish him," Gu Ning said.
She apologized to Situ Ye because she really felt bad about it. Situ Ye was her friend, but he had no relationship with Lin Xiaoyu.
Wan Chao was Situ Ye's people after all, and Situ Ye was doing her a big favor by being willing to help her.
"You don't need to say that. Personal crimes aren't allowed in my gang, so he should take responsibility if he really has done something wrong," Situ Ye said.
"Thanks," Gu Ning said.
After that, they hung up.
With the man's name and the place he worked in, Situ Ye soon found and captured Wan Chao, then he called Gu Ning back.
"Gu Ning, I got him. Do you want to deal with it in the Wind Bar or somewhere else?" Situ Ye asked.
"I'll go to Wind Bar myself," Gu Ning said.
"Sure, I need to deal with something else, so I have to leave it to you. You can turn to the bar manager for help. I already called him," Situ Ye said.
Chapter 1167 Wind Bar
"Great, thanks," Gu Ning said.After that, Gu Ning took a taxi and went straight to Wind Bar.
Wind Bar was a nightclub and it was very noisy and crowded at night. It was 9 pm, and it would be full of frantic activity after 10 pm.
Because Wind Bar was too popular, guests had to make reservations in advance.
Gu Ning walked inside and directly told a waiter that she came here to meet their manager.
The waiter nodded and was about to guide the way for Gu Ning. However, just as they moved, a woman stopped them.
"Wait, didn't you say that your manager is very busy? Why can she see him?" the woman questioned in anger. She was scantily clad and wearing heavy make-up, and looked younger than 30.
Most of the women who came to a nightclub dressed like that, so it wasn't strange.
It was obvious that this woman wanted to meet the manager of Wind Bar too.
"Miss Ma, I'm sorry, our manager is really busy, but this miss has an appointment with our manager." The waiter explained with patience, even though he disliked this woman.
Hearing that, Miss Ma's sight fell on Gu Ning. She got jealous when she saw that Gu Ning was younger and prettier than her, and she believed that the manager of Wind Bar was willing to see Gu Ning because of Gu Ning's outstanding appearance.
"What's your relationship with Wu Sen?" the woman questioned Gu Ning, as if Gu Ning was the vixen who seduced her man.
Wu Sen was the manager of Wind Bar, and the person Gu Ning was going to meet.
"It's none of your business," Gu Ning said. She had a bad impression of this rude woman.
"You…" Miss Ma was mad. She regarded herself as Wu Sen's girlfriend, so Gu Ning was an enemy in her eyes.
"Wu Sen is my man!" Miss Ma said with arrogance.
Nevertheless, a touch of disdain flashed on the waiter's face. Obviously, it wasn't the truth. Miss Ma had only slept with Wu Sen once, and she was unwilling to leave him.
Wu Sen was a playboy, but he only played around with women who didn't care about a serious relationship. Miss Ma agreed at the beginning, but regretted it afterwards and kept annoying Wu Sen.
Wu Sen had slept with countless women, and Miss Ma was just one of them.
They disliked Miss Ma's behavior, but they could understand why she did this, because Wu Sen was very handsome and humorous. Many of the waitresses who worked here admired him too.
However, those waitresses didn't have the courage to only have sex with Wu Sen, because they were afraid that they might fall in love with him.
"Miss Ma, please stop saying that. Our manager doesn't think that he's your man, and Miss Gu is our manager's distinguished guest. Please show some respect, or we have to chase you out," the waiter said politely.
Their manager had told them to treat Miss Gu with great respect, so they believed that Gu Ning must be a very important figure.
"You…" Miss Ma was furious, but she didn't dare to argue with the waiter again. She was unwilling to be chased out after all. If she was put on the blacklist, she wouldn't be able to see Wu Sen again.
The waiter then turned to Gu Ning. "Miss Gu, I'm so sorry to keep you waiting. Please follow me this way."
"Thanks." Gu Ning left with the waiter.
Miss Ma watched Gu Ning leaving in anger, but she didn't dare to follow them. Since she couldn't see Wu Sen right now, she decided to have some fun in the bar herself.
Wind Bar was very large and there were some private rooms with great insulation.
Wan Chao was being kept in one of these private rooms, and Wu Sen was inside as well. Only the two of them were in it.
Wu Sen was a handsome and tall, 27-year-old man. It was no wonder that girls and women all fell in love with him at first glance.
Actually, many women came to Wind Bar every day in order to see him. However, although Wu Sen was a playboy, he was very picky. He only had sex with sexy women.
…
Chu Xuanfeng was the person who called Wu Sen and gave the order to capture Wan Chao. He told Wu Sen that a girl called Miss Gu would come later, and that she was allowed to do anything she wanted.
Wu Sen was very curious, but he didn't ask any questions. He only knew that this girl called Miss Gu was very important.
It seemed Wan Chao was in big trouble.
Chapter 1168 Why Hurt Her?
Wu Sen understood what he could and couldn't ask, so he didn't ask Wan Chao whether he had offended someone recently.Wan Chao, on the other hand, was in a panic because he had no idea what had happened. He asked Wu Sen, but Wu Sen only told him that a girl called Miss Gu would come later.
Wan Chao knew that it couldn't be good news, because Wu Sen took his phone away and personally guarded him here.
However, Wan Chao thought that he behaved normally, and he hadn't annoyed anyone lately.
No matter how he reflected, he didn't connect it with Lin Xiaoyu, because he believed that no one could find out what he had done to her. After all, it wasn't the first time that he had done such a thing.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Wu Sen guessed that Gu Ning came, so he stood up at once to open the door.
"Hi, Manager Wu, Miss Gu is here," the waiter said.
The second Wu Sen saw Gu Ning, he was impressed by her beauty, but he didn't dare to flirt with her.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Gu. Please come in," he said.
Although Wu Sen didn't know Gu Ning, Chu Xuanfeng had told him that Gu Ning was a very beautiful young girl who was about 19 years old.
"Nice to meet you, Manager Wu," Gu Ning said and walked inside.
"Miss Gu, I'll stay outside. Please feel free to tell me if you need any help," Wu Sen said.
He knew that it wasn't appropriate for him to stay in the room, in case he saw something he shouldn't see.
"Thanks," Gu Ning said.
Gu Ning also had no intention to let Wu Sen stay in the room, so it was better that he left by himself.
After that, Wu Sen walked out and closed the door.
Wan Chao was surprised by Gu Ning's flawless face too, but he became nervous the next second. He didn't know Gu Ning at all, and felt that it was very strange that Gu Ning wanted to see him alone.
"M-Miss Gu, may I know why you want to see me?" Wan Chao asked.
Gu Ning didn't bother to waste time and said, "Were you involved in Lin Xiaoyu's death?"
Even though Lin Xiaoyu blamed Wan Chao for everything, Gu Ning wanted to check it first to see whether it was the truth. Even a criminal should have the right to defend himself.
Hearing the name of Lin Xiaoyu, Wan Chao trembled in fear.
Gu Ning noticed his reaction, and she was sure now that Wan Chao was really involved in it.
To Wan Chao's astonishment, Gu Ning came here because of Lin Xiaoyu, but he didn't understand how Gu Ning found out about it.
"Miss Gu, why do you think that I'm involved in Xiaoyu's death?" Wan Chao argued. He was unwilling to admit it right away.
"Am I wrong?" Gu Ning asked.
"Xiaoyu was my girlfriend, and we were in love. Why should I hurt her like that?" Wan Chao said and acted heart-broken.
Gu Ning sneered. "Because she caught you using and selling drugs. She wanted to break up with you, but you refused. You didn't let her go until she threatened to call the police. In case she really called the police, you arranged for someone to rape and kill her before throwing her body into a river."
Wan Chao was stunned. He believed that it was a secret between him and his close brothers. So how did Gu Ning manage to find out?
Because Wan Chao was too surprised, it was impossible for him to hide his reaction anymore.
"You…" He wanted to say something to defend himself, but didn't know what to say.
"Am I right?" Gu Ning asked.
"No! It never happened!" Wan Chao retorted. He still believed that it was simply Gu Ning's guess and Gu Ning didn't have any proof.
"If not, why are you so nervous?" Gu Ning asked.
"I-I'm not," Wan Chao said, although he was already sweating.
"Tell me, who did it for you?" Gu Ning put on a serious expression.
"I don't know. It has nothing to do with me." Wan Chao refused to tell the truth. He clearly knew that he would be put in jail if he admitted it.
"Do you think that you can get away with it?" Gu Ning cocked her eyebrow. "If you tell me who did it for you, they could probably share some punishment for you, and you'll be lightly punished, or…"
Gu Ning didn't finish the sentence, but her tone said everything.
Wan Chao lost control of his body and kept shaking in fear. His face already turned pale and looked frightened.
He understood that Gu Ning wasn't just threatening him, and that it was very likely to happen.
He was a member of the Qing Gang, and there were many ways to punish a person in an illegal gang.
The punishment could be very cruel and he wouldn't be protected by the law.
Chapter 1169 Move Through His Body
It was very easy for an illegal gang to kill an unimportant member without leaving any traces.Although Wan Chao didn't know Gu Ning's identity, he knew that she couldn't be simple since Wu Sen treated her so politely.
He was scared of death and gave in at the end. "Well, three of my closest brothers did it for me, and they're in the bar right now."
When he betrayed his brothers, Wan Chao didn't feel guilty but felt a little relaxed, because he thought that he might survive today. This was human nature.
"Very good." Gu Ning nodded with satisfaction.
Since they were all in the bar right now, there was no need for her to search for them.
"Which table are they sitting by?" Gu Ning asked.
"V05," Wan Chao said.
"And their names?" Gu Ning asked again.
Wan Chao told her the three men's names, then Gu Ning turned around and opened the door.
Wu Sen straightened up at once. "Hi, Miss Gu."
Gu Ning told Wu Sen to find the three men and said that Wan Chao needed to see them.
Wu Sen agreed and left without delay. Wan Chao's friends often came here, so he knew them as well.
…
At this time, Wan Chao's friends were a little displeased because they failed to get through to him, and they wanted drugs.
Wu Sen went to see them in person and told them that Wan Chao was waiting for them in private room No.6.
They felt flattered that Wu Sen came in person, so they went to the room in a hurry.
Miss Ma focused on the direction of the private rooms the entire time, so she saw Wu Sen the second he appeared. "Hi, Wu Sen…"
"Miss Ma, I'm busy now." Wu Sen turned around and walked back at once.
"Hey!" Miss Ma wanted to stop him, but it was too late, and it seemed like Wu Sen was indeed very busy so she had to give up.
…
Gu Ning let Lin Xiaoyu out when Wu Sen left.
Once Lin Xiaoyu's ghost was out, it lost control of itself and ran to attack Wan Chao. However, it couldn't touch Wan Chao at all, because it was a ghost, not a human being. Therefore, when it threw itself to Wan Chao, it directly moved through his body.
Wan Chao felt icy when Lin Xiaoyu's ghost moved through his body, which was very uncomfortable. He didn't understand what happened, nor did he think further about it. He thought that he was too scared and so felt cold.
If a ghost stayed by an ordinary human being's sides for a long time, the person's body would be damaged by Yin.
"Why?" Lin Xiaoyu's ghost was looking at itself with surprise. It then turned to glance at Wan Chao. It couldn't believe that it just moved through his body.
After thinking for a while, it realized that it was a ghost now and couldn't touch an ordinary human.
Knowing that, Lin Xiaoyu's ghost stopped doing anything, but glared at Wan Chao with hatred.
Lin Xiaoyu had fallen in love with a wrong person so this tragedy happened. Nevertheless, even though Lin Xiaoyu's ghost hated Wan Chao deeply, it still had no intention to kill him.
Because it kept glaring at Wan Chao, Wan Chao felt uncomfortable and strange.
…
A while later, Wu Sen came back with the three men.
The moment Lin Xiaoyu's ghost saw them, it couldn't wait to tear them to pieces, but it knew that it couldn't touch them.
The three men were attracted by Gu Ning's beautiful face and ignored Wan Chao's unusual expression.
"Oh, what a beauty! No wonder you were absent for so long."
"Hey, Chao!"
"What's your name, beauty?"
"Come on and join us."
The three men got excited when they saw Gu Ning, who was a great beauty, but they didn't know that this beauty was going to kill them.
Wan Chao could barely protect himself now, so he didn't dare to say a word.
Afterwards, they sat down on the sofa at ease.
Wu Sen closed the door when they were all in the room.
They wanted to drink with Gu Ning but suddenly found there were no drinks on the table. One of them asked, "Haven't you ordered any drinks?"
"Let's talk about business first," Gu Ning said.
The three of them were struck dumb for a second.
Gu Ning continued, "Did you rape and kill Lin Xiaoyu, and even throw her body into a river?"
Hearing that, the three men were shocked. They couldn't believe that Gu Ning was aware of it. The next second, they turned to look at Wan Chao with one accord.
Except for them, only Wan Chao knew the secret. However, Wan Chao was the mastermind behind the scheme, so they didn't believe that he would expose this secret himself.
Wan Chao lowered his head and didn't dare to meet their eyes. It was obvious that he had betrayed them.
The three men were furious in an instant. They regarded Wan Chao as their closest brother, but Wan Chao easily betrayed them.
They didn't know what Gu Ning was going to do, but they were almost sure that Gu Ning came here today to get revenge for Lin Xiaoyu.
"Since you aren't denying it, I'll take it as an admission," Gu Ning said.
1170 Kill Each Other
Normally, a person would do his best to defend himself if he believed that he was innocent, but the three men stayed silent.
"Oh, by the way, Wan Chao already admitted it," Gu Ning added.
The three men were annoyed. They knew that it was useless for them to deny it right now, and a man asked, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Although they knew they were guilty, they still tried to get away with it. If Gu Ning didn't have proof, they might survive.
"Lin Xiaoyu was a friend of my friend, and I'm going to avenge her death," Gu Ning said.
Hearing that, the three men were scared.
"It's all Wan Chao…" A man opened his mouth and planned to blame Wan Chao for everything.
However, the second he opened his mouth, another man interrupted him. "Do you have any proof? Why do you believe Wan Chao's words?"
There were no surveillance cameras along the road, and Lin Xiaoyu was already dead. Her body was also thrown into the river. It was impossible for Gu Ning to put them in jail without solid proof.
Although Wan Chao admitted that they committed the crime together, it wasn't enough to sentence them to prison.
Lin Xiaoyu's ghost was anxious. "it's them! It's them!"
Unfortunately, only Gu Ning could hear her.
Even though Gu Ning didn't have proof, it was still easy for her to punish him. Therefore, Gu Ning said airily, "I don't have proof, but I know you're guilty. It's meaningless to deny it."
Gu Ning respected the law, but she couldn't tolerate crimes. She never thought that she was a kind person, but she wasn't a bad person either.
"You…"
The three men were astonished because Gu Ning didn't care about the law.
Since Wu Sen didn't stop her from coming here, it meant she was an important figure. Besides, Wan Chao was a member of the Qing Gang, but he didn't dare fight back.
"It was all Wan Chao's idea, so you should punish him!"a man said. They couldn't get away with it, so they pushed Wan Chao out to take the blame.
"Right, it's Wan Chao's fault. He's the killer!" The other two men agreed at once.
Wan Chao remained silent. He didn't argue, nor criticize his friends, because he knew that it was meaningless to struggle now.
"You're also guilty for raping and killing Miss Lin, so none of you can get away with it," Gu Ning said.
"Do you want to kill us?"
"It's illegal!"
"Illegal?" Gu Ning thought that it was ridiculous. "You raping and killing Lin Xiaoyu is also illegal."
"Well…" The three men didn't know what to say.
"Relax, I won't kill you because I don't like doing that, but you must pay for what you've done," Gu Ning said, as if it wasn't a big deal.
Hearing that, they were relieved.
"What should we pay for it?" they asked next.
They felt scared facing unknown punishment.
"Only one of you won't be put in jail, the other three of you will be put in prison. Whoever can leave this private room first, can survive," Gu Ning said with a smile. It was obvious that Gu Ning planned to let them kill each other. "Do you understand?"
They absolutely understood it, but they were willing to do that to avoid being thrown in jail.
"Really?" The three men were ready to run away from here. None of them wanted to be put in jail.
"Sure," Gu Ning said.
The second she said that, the three men dashed forward and began to fight against each other.
Wan Chao was also in the fight. They all wanted to get out of this room, but none of them were able to get rid of the other three people.
Lin Xiaoyu witnessed the scene and felt satisfied. It wasn't necessary for Gu Ning to kill them with her hands, because they could kill each other.
As time went by, the fight became increasingly violent, and they had to kill one another in order to leave the room in the end.
Wu Sen heard some noises outside the door, so he knew that they were fighting, but he said nothing. He only opened the door to check whether Gu Ning was fine, and soon closed it again.
Gu Ning didn't blame him for doing that, because she knew that he was worried about her safety.
Chu Xuanfeng gave him a call in person, so it was his duty to protect Gu Ning properly.
