Chapter 1023: Ten-Mile Red Dowry, Grand Wedding

Chapter 1025: Ten-Mile Red Dowry, Grand Wedding

Gu Si ran towards the helicopter excitedly with his short little legs and he shouted, “Sis!”

Before he reached the front, he saw that the helicopter was moving again.

Gu Si squinted as the propeller caused violent winds. He tilted his head back slightly and stopped in place subconsciously. Then, he took two steps back.

When he saw that the helicopter went off after just landing, he frowned and pouted. “…What’s going on?”

Missing Gateway and the others walked over and all of them looked confused. “Young Master, what… happened?”

Gu Si shook his head. He found it strange, so he took out his phone, “I’ll ask them.”

He had just received a message from Sister Lin saying that things on the Base 102’s side have all ended.

What else could be so urgent?

Lu Chengzhou did not bring his phone along so Gu Si contacted Lu Yī.

“Where are you guys going?” Gu Si asked once the line went through.

Lu Yī maximized the speed of the helicopter and he was really nervous. “Young Master, something’s wrong with Ms. Gu’s body. We are now heading towards the hospital at the sub-island. Come here straight.”

As a great soldier of Lu Chengzhou, Lu Yī always maintained a calm composure when something cropped up. He seldom spoke in such a tone that signaled extreme danger.

So it was clear how serious things were.

When Gu Si heard this, his expression changed abruptly and he answered with a heavy tone. “Alright, got it.”

He did not ask further. If his sister suffered external injuries, Lu Chengzhou would have just sent her to the hospital right away instead of wasting time and coming back here.

It could only be…

Gu Si did not dare to make further guesses. He tightened his grip around the phone and pursed his lips as he turned around and ran toward the car immediately. “Head to the hospital at the sub-island!”

On the way to the hospital, Gu Si sent Lin Shuang a message.

…

Lu Zhan and Lan Sha could not interfere with the matters regarding Base 102 so they stayed at the side.

The people of the Shadow League were in charge.

The people of Red Flame acted as support.

The statuses of the two organizations were very clear.

If this was in the entertainment industry, these two companies would surely dislike each other and have a lot of fights both publicly and privately. They were definitely the kind to hate on each other and bring each other down.

In the past, they had definitely cursed each other and all of their ancestors.

Now, their bosses were a couple! They both had the same thoughts.

Our boss managed to conquer the Shadow League (Red Flame)!

In a way, the Shadow League (Red Flame) has unified everyone!

As such, everyone laughed off the past conflicts and as they worked hard, they boasted about themselves. Some of them simply started referring to one another as brothers.

Someone from Red Flame said, “Hey bro, where are you usually at? Can I hit you up for some drinks during my annual leave period in the future?”

The person from the Shadow League was more cold. “I don’t drink.”

The person from Red Flame answered, “Damn, I’ll show you! Cigarettes, alcohol and gaming. I’m great at all of these! I can guarantee that you can pick up all of these from me!”

He looked really excited, as if he was saying ‘I’ll guide you along on this wrong path.”

The person from Shadow League looked at him calmly and coldly. “What happened to the cool image of Red Flame?”

The person from Red Flame kept quiet.

Here.

Lu Zhan walked to Lan Sha and reached his arm out politely. Then, he said with a smile, “Greetings, Mr. Lan. I am Lu Chengzhou’s father, Lu Zhan.”

Lan Sha was expressionless. He stared at Lu Zhan’s arm for a few seconds before he looked up and shook it. His voice was very distant. “Greetings. I’m Gu Mang’s godfather, Lan Sha.”

Given Lu Zhan’s position, he had his own observations about people and things, and he was always very accurate.

Lan Sha sounded a little unhappy and enraged, and Lu Zhan could sense it clearly.

So he guessed that Lan Sha was probably aware of Gu Mang’s pregnancy.

Indeed, a few seconds after Lan Sha introduced himself, he continued, “Your son is pretty impressive.”

Lu Zhan was speechless.

Ye Junci, who had just walked over, heard what was said and she was speechless.

Lu Zhan said in a very serious tone. “I have come today for another reason. It is to discuss the marriage between Chengzhou and Gu Mang with you, Mr. Lan. Just let me know if there are any requests that you may have.”

Ye Junci sounded very sincere too. “Don’t worry, Mr. Lan. The Lu family and the Ye family will prepare twice as many gifts for Gu Mang.”

As Gu Mang was pregnant, they had to take the marriage even more seriously.

They could not treat her any less than she deserved.

The attitudes from the two of them made Lan Sha feel less unhappy.

He nodded as if he was about to say something…

Lin Shuang strode over suddenly and she looked flustered. “Mr. Lan, Commander Lu, Madam Ye, bad news…”

…

At the Sub-Island Hospital.

The elevator doors had not fully opened yet, but Gu Si squeezed his small body in and he quickly scanned through the directory in the elevator. Then, when he caught sight of Lu Chengzhou standing along the corridor, he charged over.

Lu Yī bowed respectfully. “Young Master.”

Lu Chengzhou stood at the entrance of the emergency room and his face was as pale as a sheet. His eyes were so red they looked like they were injected with blood and he stared at the door of the emergency room without blinking at all.

Gu Si walked to Lu Chengzhou and he saw that his fists were clenched tightly. He used so much force that his joints were pale and he was shaking slightly.

A lot of blood was shed for Red Flame to be where it was now.

Missing Gateway and the others had seen Lu Chengzhou’s indifferent and merciless self, but they had never seen him in such a state before.

He was on the verge of collapsing and he was almost going out of control.

His fear and anxiety was shown clearly.

As if half the sky had fallen.

Gu Si tilted his head up and looked at Lu Chengzhou. Then, he swallowed his saliva and asked anxiously, “What happened to my sister?”

Lu Chengzhou did not respond at all. It was as if he could not hear anything.

He just stood still in place and stared into the emergency room.

It was as if his soul had left his body.

When Gu Si saw him in such a state, he frowned uncontrollably. He felt really worried too. “Lu… Brother…”

He changed his address for him when the word came to his mouth.

Still, Lu Chengzhou did not respond.

Gu Si pursed his lips. In the past, Lu Chengzhou would be rather happy whenever he called him ‘Brother’. Now, he was ignoring him.

His sister must be severely injured…

Lu Yī said in a heavy tone. “Ms. Gu fought in Base 102. She bled.”

Gu Si understood what Lu Yī meant. He stared hard at him and his eyes turned bloodshot red. “Who fought with my sister?!”

“Leng Xuan and Leng Yun.” Lu Yī answered. “Leng Yun’s dead and Leng Xuan is now sent to the supermax prison at the Security Bureau.”

“The Leng family again!” Gu Si said through gritted teeth. “I should have killed them all earlier on!”

The atmosphere along the corridor was extremely tense.

After some time, the doors of the emergency room were pulled open.

Lu Chengzhou, who had been standing still the entire time, moved suddenly. “How is she?”

His voice was really hoarse.

Gu Si and the others turned to look at the doctor as well.

“How is my sister?” Gu Si’s heart was suspended in his throat.

The doctor took off his mask and when he looked up, he met Lu Chengzhou’s bloody eyes. It made him shudder and his scalp went numb.

It was as if he was going to smash the hospital into bits if something bad was to happen to the person inside.

The doctor suppressed his fear and answered, “The fetus is saved. There is a threat of miscarriage. She must be careful and not participate in vigorous exercise during her pregnancy. She needs to recuperate well and rest more.”

“What about the mother? How is the mother?” Lu Chengzhou asked in a tight voice and he sounded really tense.

The doctor was surprised. He had worked in this profession for so many years but this was the first time he had heard such a question.

Usually, the family of patients who were facing a threat of miscarriage would just ask if the child could be saved. Almost nobody asked about the condition of the mother of the child.

Her impression of the man in front of her got better and she was no longer as afraid of him.

The doctor smiled and explained, “The mother is in good physical condition and she is not facing any dangers at the moment. We will have her warded and observe her for a day. Make sure that she keeps up with her nutrition afterwards.”

Alright…

She’s fine…

Lu Chengzhou finally relaxed and he sighed a huge sigh of relief. “Thank you.”

The murderous intent in Gu Si’s eyes dissipated and he also released his little clenched fists.

Just then, the nurse pushed the hospital bed out.

Lu Chengzhou went pass the doctor and strode towards the hospital bed.

Gu Mang was still unconscious and she was still lying on the mobile hospital bed. Her figure was thin and her face was pale.

Lu Chengzhou held her hand and his eyes never moved away from her face again.

“Oh right.” The doctor spoke again. “There’s another thing.”

The mobile hospital bed stopped and Lu Chengzhou looked back. His pupils shrank again.

“Don’t worry.” The doctor smiled. “Just a reminder. For the first and last three months, no intercourse.”

The atmosphere in the corridor that was initially pressuring became rather strange in an instance.

Everyone knew Gu Mang’s age.

Everyone was even more aware of the fact that Lu Chengzhou made this big boss, who had just turned 18 a while ago, pregnant.

In the minds of these people, the doctor’s reminder made it sound as if Lu Chengzhou was an uncompromising beast.”

Other than Gu Si, everyone looked down and they did not dare to make a sound.

…

When Lan Sha and Lu Zhan arrived at the hospital, those from the upper management team were activated to welcome them by the door.

The underground market was the largest investor of the Sub-Island Hospital.

The hospital director had made deals with Lan Sen many times. As for Lan Sha…

Putting aside the fact that Lan Sha never reveals himself, even if he did, the hospital director had no right to see him.

At this moment, he looked at the man in the Chinese tunic suit whom even Lan Sen had to greet “Sir” respectfully.

He was quick to identify who that person was.

It was the right-hand man of the underground trading guild, Lan Sha!

Then, he looked at the other people who exuded the same aura as Lan Sha. They must all have some big background.

Beads of cold sweat formed on the hospital director’s forehead. He wondered who was admitted into his hospital such that so many mysterious big bosses would come and visit her personally.

“Commander.” Lu Yī saluted to him and led the way.

Lan Sha asked in a deep tone. “How is Gu Mang?”

Lu Yī lowered his head slightly and his attitude towards him was even more respectful than he was towards Lu Zhan. “Mr. Lan, Ms. Gu is not in any danger.”

In other words, the child was safe and so was Gu Mang.

Lan Sha released the tightly held hands behind his back. “That’s good.”

Everyone was relieved to hear that this was just a ‘false alarm’.

The group of personnel in the upper management who had come with the hospital director were well-informed people. Also, this was the sub-island of Jijing Island. Naturally, they have heard of the big happenings regarding the switch of the Director of Jijing Island.

When they heard the name ‘Gu Mang’, they instantly knew who was admitted into their hospital.

It was the current Head of the Council of Jijing Island, Gu Mang!

No wonder so many big bosses have come!

The people from the upper management in the hospital were usually followed by a group of people everywhere they went. But at this moment, everyone in the hospital watched them follow Lan Sha and the others fearfully and respectfully.

The entire hospital felt really crowded.

The nurses in the hospital lowered their volumes as they talked about them.

“Where are these leaders from? Look at our director’s attitude…”

“I don’t know, a lot of helicopters and luxury cars were stopped outside our entrance! Who can garner such a big crowd?”

“It doesn’t seem like they are here to conduct checks. Did an influential person get sent to the hospital?”

“When the sky was just getting bright, a helicopter stopped here. I saw a man carrying a lady down from it and they were both really good looking!”

“I saw it too, but that woman looks familiar. I forgot where I’ve seen her before. Maybe she’s on some drama or the news.”

“Ah!” Someone suddenly shouted and everyone around her was shocked. She continued excitedly. “It’s Gu Mang! The new Jijing Island Head of the Council! It was on the news!”

“Oh f*ck! Such a big shot?!”

…

Lan Sha and the others arrived at the floor where Gu Mang was warded.

Gu Si, Missing Gateway and the others were all seated on the chairs along the corridor.

When Gu Si saw that everyone had arrived, he stood up and greeted all of them politely.

There were quite a lot of people and Gu Si’s mouth felt rather dry by the time he greeted all of them.

“Where’s your sister?” Lin Shuang patted Gu Si’s head and asked.

Gu Si looked into the ward. “She’s still asleep. Brother is accompanying her in there.”

When Lan Sha heard Gu Si’s address, he glanced at him. “…”

Even Gu Si had gotten comfortable with Lu Chengzhou…

When Lin Shuang, Yun Ling and the others found out that Gu Mang was fine, their attention went to Gu Si’s ‘brother’.

What happened to declaring that they were sworn enemies back then?

Indeed, money works wonders…

Gu Mang was still asleep so they could not go to the ward to disturb her.

The hospital director stepped forward. “Mr. Lan, how about heading to the lounge first?”

It wasn’t nice to have so many people standing along the corridor.

Lan Sha, Lu Zhan and Ye Junci were the elders. They exchanged glances and nodded.

The group of people followed the hospital director to the lounge.

He Yidu walked to Missing Gateway and lowered his voice slightly. “Return to Red Flame with the technical team.”

“Alright.” Missing Gateway responded. Then, he seemed to be hesitant to say something for quite a while, before he asked with a complex expression. “Young Master He, I heard from a brother that Ms. Gu is the Arctic Fox?”

He Yidu looked at him and there was a smile on his face. “Yeah, aren’t you online friends with Arctic Fox? Didn’t you say that you guys were destined to be married?”

He recalled that he once told Gu Mang about having a friend called Arctic Fox…

Even earlier before, he said that if Arctic Fox was a high school student, he would hang himself with the cord of a mouse…

Life is hard. Missing Gateway sighed and he felt embarrassed. “Please stop talking about it.”

Qin Fang understood what Missing Gateway was feeling very well. He had been through that before too. He patted Missing Gateway on the shoulder.

Whenever Gu Mang was mentioned, Gu Si would look really proud. He might as well carve the words ‘My Sis Is The Coolest!” on his face.

Yun Ling ordered the Shadow League to return too.

The people that Lu Wu had brought took over to ensure the safety of this level in the hospital.

He Yidu, Qin Fang and a few others were just about to head to the lounge when the door to Gu Mang’s ward was pulled open from inside.

Lu Chengzhou walked out.

The man’s clothes were rather untidy and his face was cold. The redness in his bloodshot eyes had not fully faded and he looked rather intimidating.

Gu Si looked at him and his eyes lit up. “Brother, is my sis awake?”

Lu Chengzhou shut the door softly and the sound of the lock could barely be heard. He answered, “Nope.”

Gu Si’s eyes darkened again.

Lu Chengzhou patted him on the head.

Lin Shuang said, “Let her have more rest. There has been too much nonsense going on lately. I bet she never had a good rest.”

Things have finally come to a certain point.

Lu Chengzhou nodded, and his eyes fell on Jiang Sui who was behind him. “Jiangsui, bring some people and return to Jijing Island right away. Restrict all the information on the island, not a single word is to get out. Search and investigate the Head Elder’s Residence as well as the Leng and Bi residences. Brahma’s place too.”

The last part of his speech sounded intimidating and fierce.

Jiangsui stepped forward. “Got it.”

Since Gu Mang was not awake yet, he was obliged to listen to Lu Chengzhou.

“Suspend the daily meeting at the Elders’ Association Council House today and send me an email of the emergency file. When I’ve read through it, I’ll use Gu Mang’s personal seal on it. Put those that aren’t urgent on hold for now.”

Each time Lu Chengzhou finished a sentence, Jiangsui responded, “Got it.”

“Hand over all the matters related to the Elders’ Association to Elder Bai. All the financial organizations and research labs will operate as usual. Do I have to tell you what to do with the ones who won’t listen?” Lu Chengzhou narrowed his eyes a little.

There must not be any problems with the operations of Jijing Island nor should there be social panic caused. Otherwise, Gu Mang would still have to deal with the aftermath.

Jiangsui bowed. “Don’t worry, I know what to do.”

Lu Chengzhou responded. “Release the message. Whoever dares to interfere with the matters of Jijing Island will have their entire family exterminated by me.”

With such a big change in Jijing Island, there must be many people all around the world watching closely and wanting to kick them when they are down.

No one is thinking of messing with Gu Mang’s stuff.

Lu Chengzhou spoke really slowly and everyone there could sense the coldness in his tone. It was so chilling that it pierced into their bones.

Jiangsui answered respectfully, “Got it.”

“When you ransack their home, get a few journalists and reporters to cover the news well.” Lu Chengzhou said with cold eyes. “Do a good job.”

He intended to set this as a deterrence and to knock some sense into the unlawful and untrustworthy families.

“I got it.” Jiangsui answered.

After Lu Chengzhou finished giving out his orders, he lifted his chin. “Go now.”

Jiangsui bowed, then he turned around and led his people to get their jobs done.

Yun Ling exchanged glances with Lin Shuang and he was a little stunned. He had probably seen too much of Lu Chengzhou being soft with Gu Mang and also how good-tempered he was when he messed around with Gu Si, such that he forgot the true nature of this big boss.

Then, Lu Chengzhou instructed Lu Yī. “Move the kitchen over. Get a chef and a dietitian.”

Move the kitchen here…

Lu Yī thought that he had heard wrong and he did not respond immediately. When Lu Chengzhou looked over, he quickly bowed and answered, “Got it.”

Everyone kept silent.

“Brother Cheng,” He Yidu said, “Mr. Lan and Uncle Lu are waiting at the lounge.”

Lu Chengzhou hummed in response and walked towards the lounge with one hand in his pocket.

He Yidu and Qin Fang followed.

At the lounge.

The hospital director served drinks to Lan Sha and the others respectfully.

Lan Sen looked at the hospital director and the others. “The hospital must be very busy, you should get on with your work. We will call for help if needed.”

The hospital director nodded. When he went out, he bumped into Lu Chengzhou who happened to be at the door.

The hospital director did not know how to address him, so he just bowed.

When Lan Sha saw Lu Chengzhou enter, he put down the cup and stood up. “Has Gu Mang woken up?”

“Nope.” Lu Chengzhou was expressionless. “Godfather, Dad, there’s no need for you to wait around here. Go back and have some rest.”

Too many things have occurred tonight.

Even if Gu Mang had woken up, she would need ample rest too.

So the three of them nodded.

Lan Sha stayed at the sub-island, so he said, “I’ll drop by to see Gu Mang tonight.”

Lu Chengzhou answered politely and respectfully, “Alright.”

As one of the big families on Jijing Island, the Ye Family was most affected by the big change on Jijing Island. There were many things that Ye Junci had to handle.

She said, “Let Gu Mang rest well. I will tell Elder Ye to help Elder Bai out with the matters regarding Jijing Island.”

Lu Chengzhou was not surprised that Ye Junci had assumed correctly that he had given the power to make decisions to Elder Bai.

The Bai Family was the only one who would give in their all for the best interests of Gu Mang.

To put it nicely, the Ye Family cared for everyone. But to put it crudely, they were just timid and fearful.

Ye Junci had tricks up her sleeves, but she had to prioritize the Ye Family at all times. Her bottom line was the interests of the Ye Family.

The Ye Family ranked first. Then came Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang.

Ye Junci had her own choices, and naturally, so did Lu Chengzhou.

He would not give the rights in Gu Mang’s hands to other people easily.

When Ye Junci said so, Lu Chengzhou rejected the offer right away. “No, it’s fine.”

Lu Zhan frowned, “Chengzhou…”

Ye Junci clenched her fists so she could suppress her emotions and not reveal the changes to anyone. “Alright, let me know if Gu Mang needs any help.”

She did not expect a response from Lu Chengzhou, so he bade goodbye to Lu Zhan and Lan Sha, then she left with the people from the Ye family.

Ye Junci straightened his back as if nothing could bring her down.

The Ye family was backing her up, so she had to back the entire Ye Family up too.

She was the only matriarch in the entire Jijing Island.

Lu Zhan left with Lan Sha and the two of them went to Lan Sha’s underground market. There were still some things they had to discuss.

…

That afternoon.

The doctor came over with several test reports of Gu Mang. There was no major problem.

Just to be safe, they had her warded for the night. If Gu Mang did not feel any discomfort on the next day, then she could be discharged.

Lu Jiu and Lu Shi brought the Base 102 authorization card and seal that they found in the core research lab and handed them to Lu Chengzhou.

“Young Master Lu, the Shadow League has put the matters in Base 102 on hold for the moment. They said that they would deal with the matters after Ms. Gu has woken up.” Lu Jiu said.

Lu Chengzhou looked at the authorization card and the seal, “Alright.”

They could only wait for Gu Mang to deal with these things.

“Have the corpses of the children been found?” Lu Chengzhou looked at them.

Lu Jiu answered, “They’re found, it’s just that…”

“Go on.” Lu Chengzhou said coldly.

“Yes.” Lu Jiu looked down. “The corpses must have been buried straight into the pits that they have dug. After all these years, only a bunch of white bones can be found. We can no longer tell which ones belong to whom. The biochemical group from the forensics department of the Security Bureau have gone there and they intend to collect the bones back for DNA testing.”

Every family wanted to bring the remains of their children back to their family cemetery. They had to separate these bones.

This was a big project and they needed some time.

Lu Chengzhou nodded. “I’ll contact Elder Song later and borrow some manpower from the Criminal Division. Get the Security Bureau to form an assay team. Prepare a private jet to chauffeur them here.”

Lu Jiu answered respectfully, “Got it.”

Lu Chengzhou took out his phone and made a call to Song Xian.

“I heard some things about Jijing Island, that there is some unrest.” Song Xian asked in a worried tone, “Is Gu Mang alright?”

“Don’t worry, she’s fine.” Lu Chengzhou answered.

“If she’s fine then why are you the one making the call to me?” Song Xian did not believe him.

Lu Chengzhou went silent for a second and he explained, “She has been busy for the entire night so she’s resting now.”

“Alright, take good care of my precious apprentice.” Song Xian sighed in relief. “You need some people from the biochemistry department huh? I’ll prepare them for you right away. Deal with the visa issues on Jijing Island.”

“Alright, sorry to trouble you.” Lu Chengzhou expressed his gratitude.

Lu Jiu and Lu Shi left the hospital to get things done.

Lu Yī walked out of the ward opposite Gu Mang’s. The hospital beds had been moved away by the hospital management. There was a long dining table placed inside.

He Yidu and the rest made do with sleeping on the sofa. At this moment, they were having their meals.

Lu Yī really brought the kitchen here.

“Young Master Lu, go in and have some food.” Lu Yī said.

Gu Mang was still asleep and Lu Chengzhou had no appetite. “You guys go ahead.”

He poured himself a glass of water and gulped everything down. Then, he returned to Gu Mang’s ward.

Lin Shuang propped up her face in her hands and she looked at the shut doors of Gu Mang’s ward. “Tsk, both the kingdom and the beauty. What a winner in life.”

He Yidu raised his eyebrows. “Which one of them are you talking about?”

Was it Big Boss Gu who had both the beauty and the kingdom in hand…

Or was it their Brother Cheng?

Qin Fang swallowed his rice and slapped the table. “I bet she meant Sister-In-Law.”

“Watch out, that Young Master Lu of yours would whip you if he knows that you called him a beauty.” Yun Ling said unrestrained.

“Well… Here’s the thing. If I call Brother Cheng a beauty, I am definitely getting whipped, without a doubt.” Qin Fang poked his chopsticks into the rice. “But if I say that Brother Cheng is Gu Mang’s beauty, I might even be rewarded.”

The corner of Lin Shuang’s lips twitched a little. You know so much and yet you’re still single as f*ck. I don’t get it!”

Qin Fang disagreed. “Isn’t it the same for everyone on this table?”

Lin Shuang raised her hand. “Hold on, I have a fiancé. I am not single.”

He Yidu looked up and stared at her with deep eyes.

Qin Fang was greatly shocked.

Yun Ling stared at her in confusion. “Since when did you have a fiancé? You never mentioned it.”

Lin Shuang shrugged. “It’s just a fiancé, what’s worth mentioning? Remember to prepare your monetary gifts when I’m married!”

Preparations for weddings?

He Yidu looked down. The expression in his eyes could not be deciphered.

…

Meanwhile at the Gu Manor.

Old Master Gu stood in the ancestral hall of the Gu family. In just a few days, he seemed to have aged ten years.

He held a walking stick and his back was crouched.

Elder Gu entered, “Old Master.”

Old Master Gu was still staring at the ancestral tablets. “How are things going out there?”

Elder Gu’s eyes were heavy. “Young Lady has not returned and we did not receive any news about her either, but an order was received. Jiangsui led a large number of people to ransack many houses. The movement is huge.”

Most importantly…

After such big things happened, everyone on Jijing Island was in danger. Yet, they had to pretend as if nothing had occurred.

Everyone performed their duties and carried out their tasks even better than they did before.

They were just afraid that Jiangsui would bring his people along to ransack their house.

Jijing Island operated as usual and everything was calm and peaceful.

The last time Jijing Island had an internal strife, the Head Elder and his team took a month for everything to settle down.

Now, there was barely a stir and yet four forces were entirely wiped out!

Elder Gu couldn’t help but think about Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang’s incredible talents. A chill ran down his spine.

“Lu Chengzhou told both sides of society that if anyone dared to meddle into the affairs of Jijing Island, Red Flame would wipe them out.” No one would take Red Flame’s words as a joke. After all, that was the Red Flame’s style of handling things.

Initially, when last night’s incident was leaked to outsiders, there would be several ships floating around in the waters near to Jijing Island.

But after Lu Chengzhou released the warning, no ships dared to go near Jijing Island again.

Lu Chengzhou… Gu Mang…

Old Master Gu pursed his lips. “One wrong move, and you lose the game.”

This morning, he had been thinking about something. If he had stood on Gu Mang’s side right from the beginning…

Would it mean that the Gu family would now have restored its former glory?

Everyone had underestimated Gu Mang’s capabilities.

Brahma included.

The Killer Alliance which Brahma created on his own was now removed from both sides of society.

Before this, who would have thought that such a great organization like the Killer Alliance would become a thing of the past?

And who would have thought that the Head Elder, the Leng family and the Bi Family would all be wiped out overnight?

With the rise of the Bai Family, Elder Bai, whose voice weighed little in the Elders’ Association, became the new Head Elder who had tens of thousands of people under him. This all happened from one command from Gu Mang.

Old Master Gu murmured to himself repeatedly. “One wrong move, and you lose the game.”

Just then, a subordinate ran over clumsily.

“Old Master, the people from the Security Bureau are here. So are the police from the capital. They said that we have been charged with two homicides and they require your cooperation in the investigation.”

…

Gu Mang slept until nighttime.

When she opened her eyes, it was pitch black in the ward.

Her hand was held by a warm palm.

“Are you awake?” Lu Chengzhou’s voice was heard from the side of the bed. It sounded really warm in the dark environment.

Gu Mang hummed in response and her voice was really hoarse.

Lu Chengzhou switched on the wall lamp which wasn’t very bright, so it did not hurt the eyes.

He went to pour a glass of warm water, then he sat on the edge of the bed and helped her up. He let her take a few sips of water in his arms.

After Gu Mang finished drinking, her throat was more comfortable. “What time is it now?”

“Almost 9.” Lu Chengzhou put the cup down. “Are you still going to sleep?”

Gu Mang licked her lips. “Not anymore.”

“Are you still feeling any discomfort?” Lu Chengzhou looked down at her and held her hands. Then, he touched her face. It was warm.

“Uh.” Gu Mang said, “I’m kinda hungry. Is there anything to eat?”

Lu Chengzhou smiled. “Yeah, I made Lu Yī move the kitchen here and we simmered porridge for you. We can make anything that you want to eat now.”

Gu Mang was silent for a second. She was already used to Lu Chengzhou’s style of pleasing her with his rich way of life.

“Is there something spicy?” She asked.

“You want something sweet?” Lu Chengzhou said expressionlessly. “Yeah, does Sister Mang want some chestnut porridge?”

Gu Mang raised her eyebrow and held him by the back of his neck, then he pushed his head down and said in his ear, “I want to eat something spicy. Can you hear me now, Brother Cheng?”

The girl pressed herself by his ear and her warm and soft lips were almost biting his ears.

Her “Brother Cheng” made Lu Chengzhou’s ear go numb and his breathing got heavy. His eyes were scarily deep.

He did not speak for quite some time. He tried to breathe calmly.

After one whole minute, he straightened his back and ruffled her hair. “If you flirt with me again, I won’t be humane.”

Gu Mang laughed and nodded. “That’s fine by me.”

Lu Chengzhou stared at her.

Gu Mang waved her hand. “Do you prefer this? Or…” She paused and pointed at her lips. “This?”

Lu Chengzhou’s eyes became extremely deep and the desire that he had was even stronger than before,

He kept quiet.

Gu Mang’s actions reminded him of the time when he asked if she was better with her hands or with her mouth.

She learned really well. Now, she could apply the same method on him.

Lu Chengzhou shut his eyes. He had asked for it.

“I will never teach you anything like this again.” He took a deep breath as if he was afraid that he might not be able to control himself. He bit her lip and said, “I’ll get you some porridge.”

Then, he immediately stood up and turned on the bright lights in the ward,

Gu Mang laughed as she looked at the back view of the man who looked like he had strode out of the ward because he was afraid that he could not control himself.

When the door was shut, the smile on Gu Mang’s face subsided and she looked down at her tummy.

She stared for quite some time and then she lifted her hand to press on her pulse.

When she was sure that her child was still there, she hugged her knees and burrowed her face into her arms. Her fingers clenched onto the shirt tightly.

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Gu Mang raised her head from her arms and her gaze met Lu Chengzhou’s dark eyes.

The man was tall and he stood by the door with one hand on the doorknob.

The lady sat on the bed with her legs curled up and she looked like she was in a particularly vulnerable position.

There was some confusion in her clear, dark eyes.

As if she was asking, why are you here again?

Lu Chengzhou sighed and shut the door, then he walked to the bed and sat down. He held her in his arms. “Did you make me move away so that you could check on your pulse?”

Gu Mang did not respond.

Lu Chengzhou already found it odd when she did not ask anything when she woke up, and even flirted with him.

“Why is this little girl so dishonest?” He touched her hair. “When will you change this bad habit of dealing with everything on your own?”

Gu Mang still remained silent and she just stayed in his arms.

“Or do you think that I have a fragile mentality so I cannot deal with such things?” Lu Chengzhou lowered his voice.

Gu Mang looked up and rested her chin on his shoulder. In all seriousness, she answered, “Your mental state right now is indeed rather fragile.”

“How could you say that?” Lu Chengzhou let her go and held her face up with both hands. He stared into her eyes and asked word by word, “Who made me like this?”

Gu Mang answered, “I did.”

Lu Chengzhou stared at her.

“You sound proud.” Lu Chengzhou moved his jaw. He looked like he was angry but yet he could not bear to get angry at her again. “Think about it, how many times did you fight?”

Gu Mang answered expressionlessly. “They made me do it.”

“Fine.” Lu Chengzhou nodded. “And I forced you to check your own pulse, huh?”

They beat around the bush but the conversation went back to where it started. But this time, Gu Mang’s feelings were different.

She licked her lips. “Nah, I know that you didn’t want me to risk my life at Base 102, but I had to go. And now, something bad almost happened. I’m afraid that you’d blame yourself for not stopping me again.”

Lu Chengzhou looked at her face.

After a few seconds, he laughed and pinched her cheeks. “You guessed wrong. I won’t stop you from doing anything that you want. I’ll only blame myself for not protecting you well enough.”

“Be good, you just have to ask me about it in the future.” Lu Chengzhou leaned in towards her slowly. “You had so much to say when it comes to flirting, do you not know how to ask a question?”

Gu Mang stared at him.

“If you have something to say in the future, just tell me in the face. As long as nothing happens to you, I won’t be fragile, okay?” Lu Chengzhou held her by the back of her neck. “Aren’t you pretty quick at learning?”

“Okay.” Gu Mang answered and looked at him. “Can I eat spicy food?”

“Nope, we only have chestnut porridge.” Lu Chengzhou rejected right away. “Sister Mang, you’re a doctor yourself. Do you not have any idea if you can consume spicy food now?”

Gu Mang stared at him.

“Be good, you can have it next time.” Lu Chengzhou softened his voice as if he was trying to coax a child.

Gu Mang looked at him coldly and she felt rather speechless.

…

Gu Mang had slept for ten hours and she wanted to go for a walk, so she went to the kitchen that Lu Yi moved here with Lu Chengzhou.

Qin Fang and the others found a set of mahjong tiles somewhere and they happened to have four people, so they played there.

Gu Si was gaming with Lu Wu on the sofa.

When Gu Si saw Gu Mang, he jumped up from the sofa in excitement and ran to her. “Sis, you’re up!”

“Yeah,” Gu Mang patted him on the head and pointed her chin to the phone. “Team fight, play.”

Gu Si looked down quickly and supported his team mates.

Lin Shuang yelled, “Little Sister Gu, come and teach me a thing or two, He Yidu that idiot keeps beating me. I’ve already lost tens of thousands!”

That idiot stared at her.

Lu Chengzhou pinched Gu Mang’s hand. “I’ll get you some porridge.”

Gu Mang nodded and pulled a chair over to sit beside Lin Shuang. Just as she sat down, He Yidu threw a tile out.

“F*ck! I finally won!” Lin Shuang slapped the table and pushed her tiles to reveal them. She was really excited. “My first win of the night!”

Gu Mang stared at He Yidu.

Lu Chengzhou came with the porridge and walked to Gu Mang’s side. He softened his voice, “They’re really noisy, let’s have this in the ward.”

Gu Mang slept for a long time and her head was a little heavy, so she nodded. “Alright.”

Lu Chengzhou, He Yidu and Qin Fang were used to Lu Chengzhou’s two personalities.

Yun Ling, who was always slow to understand things, stared speechlessly.

Is this a f*cking place for humans?!

…

After Gu Mang finished her meal, she looked at the news of Jijing Island.

She understood that Lu Chengzhou had dealt with everything well when she noticed that everything was going normal.

At around 10pm, Lan Sha came to the hospital.

“Do you know how dangerous it is now?” Lan Sha looked at her with a strict expression. “You promised to enter Base 102 and keep a low profile. No impulsive acts and no rashness. But look what happened?”

Gu Mang stared at him.

Lan Sha spoke, then he looked at Lu Chengzhou. “And you too, you can’t just let her do what she wants sometimes.”

Lu Chengzhou admitted to his mistakes guiltily. “Don’t worry, I’ll take note of this in the future.”

“Eh…” Gu Mang said and touched her nose, “Godfather, the matter has already passed.”

Speaking of this, Lan Sha smiled. “Yeah, it’s all over.” As he spoke, his smile became rather distant. “It’s finally over. Your parents can now rest in peace.”

Gu Mang got up from the sofa and knelt before Lan Sha unhesitatingly.

Lu Chengzhou followed her and they both knelt in front of Lan Sha.

Lan Sha was slightly shocked. He raised his hands and wanted to help them up. “What are you guys doing? Get up, quick.”

The two of them stayed in place and kowtowed to Lan Sha.

Gu Mang’s expression was really solemn. “Godfather, thank you for helping my parents for so many years.”

Her parents were also afraid of being a burden to others, so all these years, her godfather was the only one who would risk his life to help them.

“Your father saved my life, it is only right of me to help him out.” Lan Sha stood up and pulled the arms of the two of them. “Get up first.”

Gu Mang and Lu Chengzhou stood up.

Lan Sha told them to sit down and he looked at Gu Mang. Then, he asked, “Have you thought about how to deal with the matters now that everything on Base 102 has ended?”

Gu Mang answered, “We will close down the core research lab. I won’t move the people from the various departments and research labs of Base 102 for now. I will also make the base half-open.”

“Half-open?” Lan Sha didn’t quite understand her.

Gu Mang added water to his cup. “In the past, the elders chose talent and gave chances to people who were willing to work hard. In the future, anyone who passes the internal test will be able to enter the base.”

Those who work harder would be luckier.

Lan Sha nodded. “There definitely needs to be a big change in management of the Head Elder’s people.”

Gu Mang hummed an acknowledgement.

Lan Sha picked up his glass of water, “There’s another big thing.”

Gu Mang was stunned. “What else?”

What other big issue was there?

Lan Sha looked at Gu Mang, then at Lu Chengzhou. “How do you intend to hold the wedding?”

“Huh? This?” Gu Mang said after pondering for a few seconds. “Things are rather busy on Jijing Island at the moment, I don’t have time for that. Let’s talk about it another day.”

Lu Chengzhou looked at her. “…??”

When Gu Mang thought of this, she looked down thoughtfully.

There were only half of the members from the Elders’ Association left and there were serious vacancies in the management team of the various major departments.

She had to select a group of people quickly.

Lan Sha did not expect to receive such a response from Gu Mang. “You don’t even have time to get married?”

Gu Mang thought of the several pages of the itinerary sent by the secretarial department just now, and she felt a headache. “My agenda for the following month is rather full.”

Lu Chengzhou stared at her.

Of course, they had to accommodate Gu Mang’s timing for the wedding. There wasn’t much Lan Sha could say about it.

“Alright, then you guys shall make your own decisions.” With that, Lan Sha engaged in some small talk with Gu Mang, then he got up to leave the hospital.

Lan Sen booked a suite for He Yidu, Lin Shuang and the others in a hotel near the hospital.

At this time of the day, everyone followed Lan Sha and they all left the hospital. They even took Gu Si along too.

Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang sent them off to the elevator.

When the elevator door was shut, Lu Chengzhou held Gu Mang’s hand as they walked back into the hospital ward. “Is your schedule very packed?”

“Yeah.” Gu Mang thought of the information that she had, “The Tang family can be promoted, Tang Yu is pretty good.”

“Is it really so packed?” Lu Chengzhou asked again.

Gu Mang thought that he did not believe her, so she took out her phone and opened up a file. “See it for yourself.”

There were several dense pages.

Lu Chengzhou glanced at it without much care. Then, he looked into her dark eyes. Seriously, he said, “So I have no right to even cut the line now?”

Gu Mang stared at him.

“Pretty sad.” Lu Chengzhou looked away and continued walking ahead. “You’re pretty heartless.”

Gu Mang stared at him.

…

He Yidu and the others parted ways with Lan Sha at the entrance of the hospital.

Qin Fang folded his arms and stroked his chin. “Why do I feel like Brother Cheng isn’t in a very good mood?”

He Yidu nodded in agreement.

So he exchanged glances with Gu Si for a few seconds and Gu Si decided to follow them.

Lin Shuang found it rather strange. “I don’t think there’s anything going on now, why would Lu Chengzhou still be in a bad mood?”

The things that had to be settled were pretty much done.

Yun Ling shrugged. “Who knows?”

“It’s hard to guess what a man’s thinking.” Qin Fang said as if that was true.

His words were verified the next morning.

They came over just in time for breakfast.

Suddenly, they realized that Lu Chengzhou was no longer in a gloomy state but happy. It was just that Gu Mang seemed rather tired.

…

In the supermax prison.

The Shen Family got into Jijing Island based on their connections with the Bi Family.

But after coming over for just a few days, the Bi Family and the Leng family were pulled off.

Old Master Shen tried many means before he managed to meet the Head Elder and Leng Xuan.

He looked at the haggard Leng Xuan across the table, somewhat surprised, “Elder Leng, what happened? How could you and the Head Elder…”

The Head Elder and Leng Xuan did not respond.

“Didn’t the Shadow League help out? No matter how impressive Gu Mang was, can she even beat the Shadow League?” Old Master Shen couldn’t get it.

Speaking of the Shadow League, Leng Xuan’s sluggish eyes moved and she looked up at Shen Xie, “If you had known that Gu Mang was Arctic Fox earlier, I would definitely not end here today.”

Shen Xie stood up suddenly. “What are you talking about? Gu Mang… is Arctic Fox? How is this possible?”

When Old Master Shen heard this, he was utterly shocked.

Arctic Fox studied at the Capital University and was even in the same dormitory as her daughter Shen Qianzi?

Old Master Shen was aware that Shen Qianzi did not like Gu Mang.

He dug his fingers into the armrest of the seat and his old eyes trembled violently. His face was pale.

Leng Xuan looked at Old Master Shen’s lost expression and pursed her lips. “Gu Mang hid herself too well.”

There was no point in saying anything now, they were all doomed.

Old Master Shen and Shen Xie left the supermax prison.

On the way back to the Shen Residence, it was dead silent inside the car.

After a long time, Old Master Shen said in a daze. “It’s all my fault that Arctic Fox left Xingmu International Corporation. It’s all my fault…”

Shen Qianzi played so many tricks in front of Gu Mang and Gu Mang could not even be bothered about them.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have helped Shen Xie with his project during that time.

Based on the initial relationship between Shen Xie and the Arctic Fox, the Shen Family would have such a glorious spot on Jijing Island…

…

That afternoon.

Gu Mang was discharged. Once she arrived back on Jijing Island, she went straight to the Elders’ Association Council House and attended a big meeting that lasted for over two hours.

She made a temporary list of the people who could fill up the vacant positions.

Then, she processed a backlog of documents.

For half a month, Gu Mang had small meetings, big meetings and media interviews that came one after another. She was very busy.

The internal affairs of Jijing Island was already going in the right track.

Several families took great advantage of this to perform well so that they could rise up.

The Tang family had the strongest momentum.

It seemed like everyone had a clear mirror in their hearts. There were so many families who betrayed the Bai family back then. Tang Yu was the only one who always looked after the Bai family.

The Tang family had a promising future.

At Base 102.

With the help of the Criminal Division, the remains of all the children at the base have been processed, and all the major families have claimed their remains and taken them back to their family cemetery for burial.

Gu Mang ordered the relevant authorities to carry out the burial processes well.

Lu Chengzhou busied himself in both the capital and Jijing Island. He did not tell Gu Mang what he was busy with either.

That afternoon, Gu Mang was done dealing with everything and she returned early.

She had been coming back earlier every day in the past few days, and it could be seen that the influence of the Head Elder’s group has been completely eliminated on Jijing Island.

“Let’s head out for a good meal tonight.” Gu Mang looked at Gu Si, Jiangsui and the others.

This sentence was originally a very traumatic memory for Gu Si, but now it was no longer threatening.

Because he would never be sent away again!

“Hooray for Sister Mang!” They all screamed for joy.

They packed up their things immediately and drove off towards a seven-star hotel in the city center.

The group was satisfied with the food and the drinks, so they had a good sleep that night.

…

The next day.

Gu Si lay on the bed. Suddenly, he woke up in shock and sat up straight.

When he saw the familiar environment in the room, he sighed in relief.

He had a nightmare that his sister sent him away again.

He patted his chest. I’m still in the villa. All is well, all is well.

Just then, his door was pushed open violently.

Gu Si only had a small brief on and he shouted in shock. He quickly wrapped the quilt around himself and stared at the door.

He saw Elder Bai and Jiangsui, followed by many people.

“What do you guys want?! I’m sleeping!” Gu Si frowned and said in fury.

Elder Bai entered. “Young Master, it’s time for you to attend the meeting.”

“Meeting?” Gu Si found it strange. “What nonsensical meeting?”

Elder Bai lifted his chin and two people walked towards Gu Si with a small suit.

“Young Master, we will put on your clothes for you.”

Seeing such a scene, Gu Si was so scared that he held the quilt and shrank backwards into the bed, “Oh f*ck! What are you guys doing?!”

Elder Bai explained, “Young Lady said that from today, Young Master will be the new Director of Jijing Island. You will now undergo training while holding the position at the same time. When she has time to return, she will hold a takeover ceremony.”

When! She! Has! Time! To! Return?!

These words kept replaying in Gu Si’s head.

This was like being struck by lightning on a sunny day!

Have a good meal! He didn’t get sent away this time, but his sister left!

What’s the difference!

Undergo training while holding the position…

Crash course on being a Director?

He had to go to work when he hadn’t even reached 18?!

Gu Si almost cried out loud. “Where is my sister now?”

Elder Bai looked at his watch. “I guess she had just boarded the private jet back to the capital.”

Gu Si was silent.

Jiangsui sympathized with Gu Si a little as well. He sighed, “Little Si, don’t be too sad. You see, in the past, there were even people who became emperors when they were just born for over a hundred days.”

Then, he started to name all the examples of children who became emperors.

So and so was two years old, so and so was four years old… So and so was seven, and so and so was eight…

“See, you’re eight too! Perfect!” Jiangsui said seriously.

Gu Si was speechless again.

F*cking hell.

Gu Si felt helpless. He was forced to put a square peg into a round hole.

He was in the Director’s seat, dressed in a small suit. It did not look like he had taken office, instead it was as if he was going to the cemetery.

Let’s not talk about Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang who are being him. Let’s just talk about how he set the Leng Residence on fire back then.

No one in the meeting dared not to take Gu Si seriously.

The daily meetings went on successfully.

…

At the capital.

At 6 PM.

On the rooftop of the Royal Garden.

Across from them was the most prosperous area in the city center. There were tall buildings and neon lights flashing.

In the eyes of the people on the rooftop of the Royal Garden, the figures below were like ants.

Qin Fang glanced at the red carpeted ground behind him, and then at the fairy tale-like rooftop decorated with precious, expensive flowers and bright colored lights.

Even under his feet were expensive orange rose petals.

Anyway, Qin Fang remembered the other name for this type of flower. It was a 3 million dollar rose.

What a psycho!

If this was in the past, Qin Fang would never ever believe that his Brother Cheng would personally set up the venue for a marriage proposal.

Now that Qin Fang had already seen too much, he was very calm.

The elevator door opened.

Jiang Shenyuan, Ji Heng, Meng Jinyang, Qin Yaozhi, Lu Yang and the others walked out of it.

They were almost blinded by the bright lights.

“How pretty!” Qin Yaozhi exclaimed.

In front of them was a long red carpet covered with petals, and bright pink vines were wrapped around the pillars on both sides of the red carpet. On an elevated platform at the end, there was a pink balloon fixed to the ground with a rope, and it was floating in the wind.

On the tables at the elevated platform, there was a three-dimensional heart shape made of flowers, and a blue velvet box placed at the center.

Above them was a galaxy made with fluorescent light.

These magnificent sceneries were breathtakingly beautiful in the night.

“How pretty!” When Meng Jinyang remembered that all of these were prepared as a surprise for Gu Mang, she smiled.

Jiang Shenyuan and the others did not dare to walk on the red carpet as they did not want to step on the petals. So, they went around it and walked towards Lu Chengzhou and the rest.

“How long did it take you to do the decorations?” Jiang Shenyuan raised his chin to point around.

Ever since Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang got together, these people no longer felt so restrained when they spoke to Lu Chengzhou.

He heard from Qin Fang that most of this was basically done by Lu Chengzhou himself.

He was rather surprised.

The man had one hand in his pocket and he looked around at the proposal setup that he had prepared on his own. “Nine days.”

The flowers were all air-flown here today.

“When will Gu Mang arrive?” Ji Heng asked.

Lu Chengzhou looked at the time. “She will reach in half an hour.”

Qin Fang leaned against the pillar and shook a glass of wine in hand. “Brother Cheng, Sis is already pregnant. You could just hold the wedding right away, why do you have to propose to her?”

Isn’t that unnecessary?

Qin Fang casually mentioned Gu Mang’s pregnancy.

Everyone else was greatly shocked by the news and they were dumbfounded.

“Bro, what?!” Qin Yaozhi stared at Qin Fang in astonishment. “Sister Mang… is pregnant?”

Meng Jinyang, Jiang Shenyuan, Ji Heng and Lu Yang stared at them.

They never expected Gu Mang to give them such a huge surprise when they just did not see each other for two months!

“Yeah, she’s pregnant.” Qin Fang couldn’t get it. “Don’t you agree that the proposal is really unnecessary?”

Everyone kept silent.

Lu Chengzhou smirked, as if he was very impressed with his own setup of the proposal venue. “Dating, proposal. engagement, marriage, preparations for pregnancy and then pregnancy. Although we messed up the order, I must give my little princess her full package.”

Everyone else had to face his lovey-dovey words.

…

At the airport.

Gu Mang wore a long black coat and she had her baseball cap and a black mask on. She got out of the private jet.

She was on the phone with Gu Si.

“Sis! I will never trust you in taking me out to a good meal anymore!” There, Gu Si had just finished attending his training class, and he sounded like he lived in a miserable world.

With a black backpack hanging on her shoulder, Gu Mang glanced at the black SUV parked on the side of the road.

Lu Yi and Lin Shuang came to pick her up.

Lu Chengzhou said that he had something to do.

When she heard Gu Si’s voice, she couldn’t help but laugh, “Don’t worry, there’s no more next time. You squandered so much money from your brother-in-law, just buy whatever you want to eat for yourself.”

Gu Si was even more sad, “I’m still young, and I’m under pressure that I shouldn’t bear at my age!”

Just then, Gu Mang’s phone rang twice. It was a call from Lu Chengzhou.

“Gotta go.” After bidding goodbye, Gu Si hung up the call with Gu Si and picked up Lu Chengzhou’s.

Over there, Gu Si listened to the cold and merciless beep in the phone, and he revealed an expression as if the sky was falling.

Lu Yī pulled the car door open and Gu Mang bent over to get in.

Lu Chengzhou’s warm and gentle voice was heard. “Have you alighted from the plane?”

“Yeah,” Gu Mang answered. “I’ll arrive at the Royal Garden in 40 minutes. You don’t have to come if you’re busy.”

Lin Shuang was chatting with He Yidu, and there was a picture of the marriage proposal in WeChat.

Other than the fact that it was beautiful, Lin Shuang also felt that she could see a lot of cash being burned!

The prices of the flowers were so high that they’d make you question your life!

Gu Mang hung up after exchanging a few sentences with Lu Chengzhou.

Then, she played two rounds of games with Lin Shuang. When the second round has just ended, they had also arrived at the Royal Garden.

The elevator door opened.

Gu Mang looked up and saw the heart-shaped red rose petals on the elevator wall. There was also a large card stuck in the middle of it.

“Welcome Home, Gu Mang”

Gu Mang stared at him.

She walked into the lift calmly, then she looked at Lin Shuang. “Is Lu Chengzhou up there?”

Lin Shuang wasn’t surprised that she could guess it. She nodded. “He is.”

The elevator rose up slowly and Gu Mang turned around to look at the heart-shaped red rose petals. “What’s the occasion tonight?”

Lin Shuang put her arms on her shoulders and said with a smile, “Little Sister Gu, don’t ask me. It’s a surprise for you, I don’t wanna ruin it.”

“Oh.” Gu Mang answered.

She watched as the numbers on the elevator changed, and she stuck both of her hands in her pocket.

She looked down and thought about it. It’s probably a welcome ceremony.

The two of them went straight to the rooftop.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, it was pitch black. Even the huge electronic screens on the surrounding buildings were black.

Gu Mang’s night vision ability wasn’t bad, she could roughly see some outlines, but she did not know what they were.

Since Lin Shuang could bring her here, it meant that Lu Chengzhou must be here.

Gu Mang walked down the steps calmly. The soft touch of the carpet under her feet and the subtle sound of petals made her stop in her tracks.

Flowers again?

Gu Mang looked up and said, “Lu Chengzhou, what…”

Gu Mang did not get to continue, her voice stopped abruptly.

Like gypsophila, the shards of light spread from under her feet and kept moving forward.

The pink fluorescent vine climbed onto the white pillars and extended in all directions.

The light spread on the bouquet, the food table, the wine table——

Until the bright stars weaving above their heads were all lit up.

The blazing warm light scattered alternately, illuminating the entire roof and coating it with a light yellow halo. It was like a dream.

The music was played.

Gu Mang saw Lu Chengzhou standing at the end of the red carpet, holding a large bouquet of roses.

The man was dressed in all black. He had a long figure and a strong aura. The setup that was carefully arranged by him lost its glow with him around.

Gu Mang’s eyes fell on his face.

Gu Mang couldn’t tell what that expression on his face was. It was stiff and he looked uncomfortable.

Gu Mang turned her head and saw the velvet box on the three-dimensional heart-shaped rose behind Lu Chengzhou. She knew what the man was going to do.

A sense of ritual.

Before returning, Gu Mang thought it was a welcoming banquet.

She didn’t even expect Lu Chengzhou to propose to her.

Was a proposal still necessary for them?

But upon seeing Lu Chengzhou’s nervousness, Gu Mang’s fingers curled up in her pockets.

The two of them stood at opposite ends of the red carpet and flowers lined up the path in between them.

Lin Shuang consciously walked to the crowd, leaving space for the two of them.

Lu Chengzhou looked at Gu Mang, who had not even taken off her mask. He could not see her face, so he did not know what her expression was.

After a long while, Lu Chengzhou took the velvet box from the heart-shaped roses behind him, then he held the roses and walked towards Gu Mang step by step.

When Lu Chengzhou stood in front of her, he opened his mouth to speak, but realized that he was so nervous that he had suddenly forgotten what he had wanted to say.

This was too real.

Lu Chengzhou paused for two seconds before he spoke. “Gu Mang, I…”

“Kneel.” Just as he spoke, Gu Mang suddenly said something and took the flowers from his hand.

So everyone who was watching saw that before Lu Chengzhou could say anything, he was already kneeling before Gu Mang on one knee.

Everyone exchanged glances and they did not get what was going on.

Gu Mang reached out her left hand. “Put it on for me.”

Lu Chengzhou opened the blue velvet box, and the light blue light fell on the diamond in the ring. It was dazzling.

He took out the ring and put it on Gu Mang’s ring finger with the most pious gesture.

“Yes, I will marry you.” Gu Mang helped him up, then she pulled off her mask and tiptoed to kiss him on his lips.

Lu Chengzhou stared at her.

So smooth-sailing?

The others were dumbfounded, and they didn’t know what they were watching!

After Gu Mang kissed him, she hugged the flowers and looked at Lu Chengzhou with her dark eyes. Then, she said in a low voice, “I’m tired and sleepy after being on the plane for a day.”

When Lu Chengzhou heard this, he took the backpack from her shoulder and put the flowers in her arms aside. Then, he put his arms around her shoulders and said, “Let’s go down and rest.”

Gu Mang hummed an acknowledgement.

The elevator door was shut.

After some time, a cold breeze woke He Yidu and the others, who were standing stiffly, as well as the violin ensemble who were still playing.

Lin Shuang shrugged. “What the f*ck did I just see?”

Qin Fang answered, “I’ve never seen a proposal like that.”

Jiang Shenyuan nodded. “Gu Mang was the one having things under control. The boss is still the boss.”

He Yidu said, “Brother Cheng also prepared for all the electronic screens of the tall buildings to show ‘Will You Marry Me, Gu Mang?’. Seems like he had prepared them for nothing.”

Ji Heng, “…So? I guess? We shall go now?”

Meng Jinyang, Qin Yaozhi and Lu Yang stared at them.

It was such a unique proposal.

Lin Shuang thought about it carefully. It seemed that it was in line with Gu Mang’s personality.

“Since we are already here, let’s drink before we go.”

They all walked over.

At this moment, the surroundings suddenly brightened, and a strong light shone on the rooftop.

Everyone squinted and looked over.

The same words appeared on the electronic screens of all the buildings in City 49.

“Will You Marry Me, Gu Mang?”

Three seconds later, another reply appeared on all screens——

“Sure.”

It happened to be around 7 o’clock in the evening, and there were a lot of pedestrians on the road.

People could be seen everywhere in the streets of City 49 and they were watching the electronic screens of the building.

The name Gu Mang was not unfamiliar on the Internet.

In just ten minutes, it got onto the hot search.

Then, everyone was guessing who the proposer was.

——The big guy even booked all of the electronic screens in the capital tonight!

Gu Mang wasn’t very interested in these.

Lin Shuang gave a thumbs up. “Cool. She hacked into all of the display screens of the buildings.”

One proposed in such a high-profile way.

One responded in such a high-profile way.

Two big bosses!

…

At the Royal Garden apartment.

Gu Mang closed the laptop and got up. When she turned around, she found Lu Chengzhou staring at her with dark eyes.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, she said, “Although I only glanced at it, I remembered the scene of the marriage proposal. I can even draw it for you. I didn’t take it lightly.”

Lu Chengzhou did not answer.

The two of them were silent for a few more seconds.

Gu Mang raised her hand to show him the ring and she said seriously, “I agreed.”

“Uh-huh.” Lu Chengzhou answered, “You agreed.”

Gu Mang nodded. “You can’t blame me for the things you didn’t do well, you forgot your lines.”

She saved it.

Lu Chengzhou was not embarrassed, and said frankly, “What could I do? It’s my first time. You didn’t have the patience to give me some time to calm down and you told me to kneel down. Wouldn’t it be awkward for you if I didn’t kneel?”

Gu Mang stared at him.

“Whatever.” Gu Mang turned around and wanted to leave. “I’m going to take a shower.”

Lu Chengzhou pulled her back and held him in her arms. “Where are you going? Let me hug you, I missed you so much.”

Gu Mang went silent.

After a short while of hugging, Gu Mang’s phone began to ring continuously.

Phone calls. WeChat.

They were all from teachers like Principal Ren and Yang Tianming, as well as her classmates from Capital University.

Everyone found out about Gu Mang’s return from the hot search.

…

In a prison on the outskirts of the capital.

As usual, Gu Yin took the latest morning paper from the reading room.

When she saw the headline on the front page of the newspaper, her eyes widened.

[Gu Mang, Rising Star In The Medical Field And International Medical Competition Champion, Returns To The Capital]

Gu Mang has returned?

How did she come back?

Didn’t the Elders’ Association get rid of her?

Gu Yin held the newspaper tightly and looked down.

A picture of a huge electronic screen of a building was under the title.

Someone proposed to Gu Mang on the screen.

Gu Yin did not have to guess and she knew who it was. Lu Chengzhou.

They have all returned…

How could it be?

How could Jijing Island let them off?!

Just then, a female jailer came over, “Gu Yin, someone came to see you.”

Lei Xiao and Xia Mingzhu had come to visit Gu Yin.

When Gu Yin saw them, she asked eagerly, “Uncle, do you have any news about Jijing Island?”

Lei Xiao sighed. “Yes.”

It wasn’t hard to tell his tone of regret.

Gu Yin knew that there was very little news about Jijing Island. Given Lei Xiao’s position, he should know even less.

“Tell me everything.” Gu Yin pressed her arms against the table, and she looked very excited.

Lei Xiao said, “Gu Mang is now the Head of the Council of Jijing Island and she is about to hold a wedding with the current patriarch of the Lu family, Lu Chengzhou.”

Lei Xiao regretted it very much. He did not expect Gu Mang to not have any blood relationship with their family, and neither did he think that Gu Mang would have such a strong background.

If he had taken in Gu Mang and Gu Si as well back then, Gu Mang would surely not treat him unfairly given their years of relationship.

Now… It was too late to say anything…

He missed the chance that was given to him.

When he thought of the words he used to scold Gu Mang, he felt that he was probably worse than an idiot in her eyes then.

“Head of the Council…” Gu Yin did not understand why Gu Mang could still hold that position after so long. She looked at Lei Xiao, “Uncle, what about the Gu family and the Elders’ Association? Do you know anything?”

Lei Xiao answered, “Just a little. The Head Elder of the Elders’ Association is now changed to Elder Bai.”

Elder Bai was also the President of the International Law Association. Lei Xiao had a friend who was a reputable lawyer and that was why he knew about these two things.

Gu Yin wasn’t dumb. In fact, she was very smart.

If the Bai Family got promoted, it could only mean that the Head Elder had to step down.

Since the Head Elder already stepped down, then it was needless to mention the other families…

Gu Mang won…

No wonder she could return to the capital.

Even people like the Head Elder were no match for Gu Mang, and yet she thought of making Gu Mang the fool and going against her…

Gu Yin slumped into her chair.

Lei Xiao said, “Yinyin, go and beg Gu Mang to let you off just this once.”

Gu Mang could see that Lei Xiao had come just to see if he could use her to restore their relationship with Gu Mang.

She pursed her lips coldly and shook her head. “It’s no use.”

She messed with Gu Si. Gu Mang would never let her off.

…

At the airport.

In the management office.

“There are so many routes to Jijing Island lately!”

“Yes, you know, there are all big guys over there. They seldom go out and walk around.”

“Right! Those who come are all from big aristocratic families! The Bai Family, the Ye Family… What happened in the capital?”

“There are many from Jijing Island but there are also many from other places. They are all direct flights. We might not have heard of some of these big guys.”

“There’s another big batch of them again tomorrow! They are all big guys from the politics and business world! The capital is going to be so lively!”

“Didn’t you realize that there has been a lot of police patrolling around lately?”

“What exactly happened that could alarm so many big guys?”

It was not like there was a summit here , yet there were people from various industries who had come.

There were representatives from the royal families of each country, political figures, people from the medical and computing sector, as well as the finance world…

…

It was the end of March and the spring flowers bloomed.

People who have woken up picked up their phones habitually and spent some minutes looking through Weibo and short videos.

Then, they realized that the hot search that was ranked number one on both apps were trending!

“When I got up in the morning, I realized that several roads were blocked. Overnight, red ‘Tongxin’ knots were hung on both sides of the blocked roads. Red stickers of the word ‘囍’ which was used for marriage were all over. I wondered, who would hold a wedding at such a large scale? [Picture][Picture][Picture]”

The roads were cleaned very well.

“Oh damn? So the reason for the arrival of so many big guys in the capital is to attend the wedding?!”

“Is the child of some big boss getting married? How could they cause such big movements?”

“Are there red ‘Tongxin’ knots hung all along the way to welcome them?”

“I want to see the start and the end point.”

“One end is at the top luxury mansion ‘Xishan Villa’, and the other end is at the ‘Old Lu residence’. I don’t know which one is the starting point and which is the end point.”

“Oh f*ck! Then they must both have some crazy background?!”

When Granny Lu passed away, there were a lot of searches on the Internet, and there were netizens who found out about the background of the Lu family. What they found out almost scared them to death.

The “Old Lu Residence” was the symbolism of power.

As for the “Xishan Villa”, the top officials and dignitaries at the top of the pyramid lived there!

The netizens said that they now fully understand how the wedding could be of such a large scale.

“Can some kind soul send us some photos and videos! Let me see more of the world!”

“I want to see it too.”

“Same.”

There were heated discussions online.

Lan Sha came to the capital two weeks ago.

He had property in the capital so he stayed in his own villa.

——The famous Xishan Villa.

A room was specially arranged for Gu Mang for her wedding day.

At this moment, the villa was full of lights and festoons, and it was very lively.

Lan Sha sat in the living room and chatted with Old Master Bai, Bai Zhang, Yu Zhongjing and the others jovially.

Lan Sen was completely new to weddings, and he listened to the instructions of Elder Bai. If he wanted things to be a certain way, then it would be just as he said.

In the room on the second floor.

Lin Shuang and Meng Jinyang were the bridesmaids.

Qin Yaozhi, Shen Huan, Zheng Miao and Tang Xiaoxiao were in the ‘sisters team’.

Song Han held the camera to take pictures of everyone.

Lu Yang, Chu Yao and Fatty were still together, and they were also on Gu Mang’s side.

Shen Huan exclaimed, “Gosh! I never thought that a country bumpkin like me would get to enjoy the scenery in Xishan Villa!”

Zheng Miao said, “Guys, I’m stepping on a villa that costs millions!”

Shen Huan glanced at Zheng Miao and stamped his feet excitedly, “Sis, does the floor of a villa that costs millions feel like lava?”

Tang Xiaoxiao said, “Gu Mang, you’re so pretty!”

The top stylist, Xiao Han, raised her chin with a proud look, “Of course, don’t you see who did it!”

Everyone looked at Gu Mang. No matter how many times they looked at her, they were amazed.

Gu Mang seldom wore makeup. At this moment, she had some makeup on and it made her look really outstanding.

The big boss folded one of her legs and it propped up her arms. She sat in a wild and unruly manner as she played games on her phone with Qin Yaozhi and Lu Yang.

Gu Si took out his mobile phone and looked at the messages in the group chat for the marriage. The latest one was from Qin Fang, and they were arriving in five minutes.

“They are arriving in five minutes!” Gu Si shouted. “Have you guys gotten everything ready? Where are my sister’s shoes? Where are they?”

“Don’t worry, we’ve got everything prepared!” Shen Huan exclaimed. Then, she removed a big book from the bookshelf. “The shoes are here.”

Gu Si looked at the empty space in the middle of the book. It was just enough to fit one shoe.

This was like trying to hide your phone from the teachers.

Lin Shuang was impressed too.

“They surely won’t be able to find it!” Shen Huan and the others were really triumphant.

Gu Si gave her a thumbs up. “Well done! You guys are impressive!”

The corner of Jiangsui’s lips twitched, who the hell could find it?!

“Where are the difficult questions for them?” Gu Si asked, “How much money we get in the red packets depends on the questions!”

Shen Huan showed Gu Si the tablet. “I have a whole list of questions!”

Gu Si gave her two thumbs up. “Nice, sisters!”

Elder Bai hurried in, “Guard the doors well, ask for more red packets!”

Gu Si patted his chest, “Leave it all to me! You can always trust me, Master Si!”

Elder Bai was overjoyed.

After a while, there were knocks in the room and the doorknob was twisted. There was a safety chain, so the door could only be cracked open.

Shen Huan and the others quickly pressed themselves against the door. “Red packet! Red packet! You can’t enter if you don’t give us the red packets!”

Lin Shuang crossed her arms and laughed as she watched it.

Qin Fang did not waste anymore time, he handed them a stack of red packets.

The red packets were a little strange, they were like a ‘plus-sized’ version of the ones they usually had.

Shen Huan did not care about that. She took it first and passed it to Zheng Miao and Tang Xiaoxiao.

The two of them looked at the strange red packets which were extraordinarily big. Then, they opened it up and poured the content out. Inside, there was a… property ownership certificate…

Zheng Miao and Tang Xiaoxiao turned to the first page and found that the names of their sister group and bridesmaids were written on the certificate!

Everyone had a copy! The procedures were all done!

Damn! The red packet for opening the door actually contained property?! And also they were property in the capital where an inch of land was valued as much as an inch of gold?!

They were all college students! Naturally, they knew that such a suite was worth tens of millions!

Shen Huan leaned on the door and looked out from the crack, “The red packets alone aren’t enough, you have to answer some questions too.”

Qin Fang lifted his chin, “Fine, go ahead.”

“Let’s not ask anymore.” Zheng Miao and Tang Xiaoxiao pulled Shen Huan back. “Huanhuan, there are title deeds inside the red packets and they’re all in our names. The procedures have been done and if you ask any more questions, I wouldn’t feel at ease taking them…”

“Oh damn?” Shen Huan widened her eyes in shock. “Did I hear that right? The red packet for opening the door is property?”

Zheng Miao and Tang Xiaoxiao nodded seriously. “You heard that right.”

Everyone else was speechless.

“Gu Mang doesn’t have many friends, you guys can come over often to hang out with her. These houses are very close to the Royal Garden.” Lu Chengzhou’s voice was heard.

“Oh my gosh!” Shen Huan opened the door without another word. “Sirs, please come in quickly!”

Lin Shuang, “…”

As soon as Lu Chengzhou entered, his eyes passed through the noisy crowd and fell on Gu Mang.

The girl sat in the center of the big bed with a phoenix golden crown on her head and golden pendants on both sides. The wedding gown on her body was made by all the embroidery ladies in Lanting. The golden phoenix embroidered skirt covered the entire bed.

Even such a solemn phoenix coronet could not suppress the beauty on her face. It could only compliment her beauty.

Her skin was silky and she gave off a cold and unassuming aura. She was extremely beautiful.

Gu Mang propped her face up by her hand lazily and looked at Lu Chengzhou. The man was dressed in a Chinese robe and he was glowing. Like the prince of an aristocratic family, he looked gentle like jade.

He complimented the robe and no matter what, he looked great.

Zheng Miao and Tang Xiaoxiao even took out the book with the hidden shoe and handed them over solemnly. “Mr. Lu, the shoe.”

That was when Lu Chengzhou looked away and looked at where it was hidden. Then, he raised his brows and took the shoes out. “Thank you.”

Gu Si had not done his part and it was already over. He was speechless.

In the past, Lin Shuang thought that he was a rich lady but at this moment, she felt that she was extremely poor.

She watched as Lu Chengzhou got whatever he wanted with the superpower of money everyday.

Lu Chengzhou walked towards Gu Mang step by step with the shoe in hand. Then, she squat down beside her and held onto her slim ankle to put on the shoe for her.

Bai Zhang carried Gu Mang out the door.

Three Letters and Six Etiquettes, they were now rightfully married.

Hundreds of luxury cars and the Ten Mile Red Dowry. They set out from Xishan Villa boisterously.

They drove in the direction of the Lu Family on the road for the newlyweds.

Hundreds of helicopters with the slogan “Wishing Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang a happy wedding” escorted the family and friends all the way.

Each slogan was followed by a signature.

Responsive Dragon and Flying Serpent were the representatives for Gu Mang’s friends and family team.

Qin Fang and He Yidu were the representatives of Lu Chengzhou’s friends and family team.

The scale of the grand wedding was really breathtaking.

…

The wedding was held in the Lu residence as that was Granny Lu’s last wish.

Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang walked along the red stage towards Lu Zhan and Lan Sha who were seated down.

The majestic voice of the emcee was heard.

“Mountains of flourishing trees, a pond of blooms.

The Gu family’s treasured daughter, a perfect spouse to a gentleman. On this auspicious day, all are invited to partake in this joyous union of matrimony”

In the audience, Old Master Bai’s eyes were red.

Bai Zhang patted the back of Old Master Bai’s hand, “Dad, don’t be sad. It’s an auspicious day.”

Old Master Bai laughed, “I’m very happy. It has been tough for Gu Mang.”

“Yeah.” Bai Zhang never thought that it was a good thing that Gu Mang was so impressive. How amazing she was reflected how much pain she had gone through.

“A bow to heaven and the earth.”

“A bow to your parents.”

“Another bow to the deceased parents.”

“Now, bow to each other.”

“And there we have it, the end of the ceremony!”

Lu Chengzhou stood up and walked towards the two of them. He looked at Lu Chengzhou. “I will now hand Gu Mang over to you, take good care of her.”

“Rest assured, Godfather.” Lu Chengzhou answered respectfully.

…

Lu Manor.

Gu Mang came out from the shower.

Lu Chengzhou had also come out from the shower next door. He was leaning against the bed at the moment.

The bedroom was decorated in bright red for big weddings.

Even the pajamas that the servants prepared were red.

To Gu Mang, there wasn’t a difference if they held the wedding or not.

She walked to the bed and sat down. Lu Chengzhou dried her hair for her with a hairdryer.

“Are you tired?” Lu Chengzhou asked in a soft voice.

Gu Mang was a little annoyed earlier, but she felt much better now. So Gu Mang said casually, “I’m fine.”

She leaned in his arms.

Her clothes were like fire and her skin was like jade.

Lu Chengzhou’s eyes gradually darkened, and he glanced at her flat lower abdomen. After trying to suppress himself for a long time, he did not manage to do so. The desire in him was getting wilder than before. “Gu Mang, it’s been four months.”

Gu Mang stared at him.

Lu Chengzhou put the hairdryer down. “It’s the wedding night.”

Gu Mang opened her mouth. “Lu Chengzhou, calm down. I’m tired.”

“You said you were feeling fine.” Lu Chengzhou stared at her face.

Gu Mang stared at him.

Lu Chengzhou lowered his head and bit her ear. “I’ll be careful and try to be soft.”

Gu Mang stared at him.

…

Everything ended.

Lu Chengzhou hugged Gu Mang tightly and pressed his hands on her abdomen. With a hint of desire, he said in a low and slightly hoarse voice, “Completely mine now.”

Gu Mang didn’t want to entertain him.

Lu Chengzhou laughed. “Madam, happy marriage.”

Gu Mang replied lazily, “The same to you.”

Outside, the moon rose above the willow tree. You are an unforeseen joy in my life and my love for you will always be unswerving till death.
