Shortly after, Lu Yī returned with the Sleeping Jade and handed it to Gu Mang respectfully.
Gu Mang received it, tossed it in the air a few times, put it in her palm, and stuffed her hands in her pockets in a nimble and suave manner.
“Thanks, I’m going back to Ming City now. And,” she stared at Lu Chengzhou and said in a light and slow voice, “I’m about to take university entrance exams. Don’t disrupt my studying. If anything happens, find Yu Zhongjing.”
Yu Zhongjing pouted. He had no choice but to obey quietly. Lu Chengzhou cocked his eyebrows slightly.
Studying? If he remembered correctly, she was ranked last in Ming City High School’s Year Three cohort. The results were real but it was really quite surprising that she had such an attitude towards studying. He said in a soft voice, “I’ll get Lu Yī to send you back.”
“No need.” Gu Mang walked casually to the door with no expression on her face. “I have some things to attend to.”
He turned slightly. From the long and narrow corner of his eyes, he stared at the girl’s back. His thin lips arced up in a smirk, looking like a scoundrel.
…
Yu Shu’s car stopped in front of Lu residence.
The chauffeur got out of the car and opened the door respectfully. Then the woman with a quiet, dignified air stepped out.
She walked towards the Lu residence.
A girl wearing a baseball cap came walking out of the Lu residence, half of her face covered by the brim of her hat. Her skin was very fair and the shape of her lips was pretty. Her jawline was so pretty it was outrageous.
The two walked past each other. Yu Shu’s brows furrowed slightly as the girl seemed vaguely familiar. Within a few seconds, she suddenly remembered the sister and brother pair that she saw when she went to the World Restaurant in Ming City with Lu Chengzhou and the others.
She was the sister.
At that time, He Yidu said he didn’t know her. Why would she be here?
She turned her head and saw that the girl had walked some distance away. When Yu Shu looked at her she felt a strange feeling of unease.
She had a distinguished background and status. Why did she have a feeling that she could not compare to this girl who merely drifted through society? Yes, it must be just a misconception.
Putting away those wild thoughts, she stepped into Lu residence with her high heels.
…
Gu Mang took a taxi and stopped in front of an office building in the capital’s bustling district.
When she entered, someone was waiting at the door already.
“Ms. Gu.” The woman in a suit smiled politely.
Gu Mang nodded and she took the elevator with her to the 21st floor.
As soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw large gilded letters spelling “Shenyuan Law Firm” hanging on the wall.
Gu Mang poked up the brim of her hat and followed behind the female assistant.
They reached a staffroom labeled with a “Jiang Shenyuan” sign.
The assistant turned to look at her and smiled slightly, “Ms. Gu, someone is consulting with Lawyer Jiang. He will be back soon. Please wait inside for a moment.”
Gu Mang gave a low grunt in acknowledgement and walked in.
The staffroom was bright and clean. Documents were piled on the desk. The wall behind the desk was filled with law books and case records.
In the left corner was a sofa for receiving visitors and a triangular coffee table.
Gu Mang put the bag nonchalantly on the sofa, sat down, raised her legs, and took out the thick clamshell-styled cell phone.
After a full day of not checking the phone, a lot of notifications had accumulated.
Gu Mang briefly looked at the group chat. There was no useful information, so she exited it.
There were some private notifications. She had shown up on the hacker forum that day and news had spread quickly. Orders for her came in in batches.
She appeared again and refused the orders just to give certain people a reminder.
The other organizations were also considering the orders that Shadow League refused.
