After chatting with Gu Si a while more, Gu Mang ended the call and tossed her phone aside. She put a leg over her knee as she took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket, unwrapped it, and stuffed it into her mouth. When she turned her head, she found Lu Chengzhou looking at her.
They saw themselves in each other’s dark eyes.
Several seconds passed, but neither said anything.
Qin Fang and He Yidu, who were sitting in the front of the car, had also sensed the change in atmosphere, for they dared not even breathe loudly.
The people from Jijing Island seem to be quite afraid of Gu Mang. When she revealed that she had sent out the footage and the recording, the Head Elder and the Leng family dared not even let their anger show in front of her, much less stop us when we wanted to leave. Most importantly, I thought Brother Cheng knew more than us, but it turned out that his intel seems to be on par with ours… Qin Fang secretly glanced at the rearview mirror, only to discover that the couple was still gazing into each other’s eyes.
Gu Mang was pondering how she should reveal her identity in a tacit but concise manner so that Lu Chengzhou could better accept the information. She could not make up her mind even after much thinking, so she shifted her gaze and calmly picked up her phone to log into a game. She then looked at Lu Chengzhou and shook her phone at him. “Team up with me?”
Lu Chengzhou gazed into her dark sparkling eyes for a while before letting out a faint inaudible sigh. “Okay.”
As if nothing had happened, the two of them teamed up in the game, exchanged information about each other’s positions, then started playing the game.
Why are they suddenly playing a game? I must be seeing things… Qin Fang exchanged a baffled look with He Yidu, but despite his burning curiosity, he dared not interrupt them. Instead, he remained quiet in his passenger seat. Do all big bosses communicate in such a unique manner?
It was almost noon when they reached the hotel Lu Chengzhou was staying at.
Lu Yī asked, “Young Master Lu, should I get the hotel staff to send lunch over?”
Lu Chengzhou nodded as he placed Gu Mang’s backpack on the sofa.
Lu Yī picked up the hotel room’s phone to order food.
“I’m going to take a shower,” said Gu Mang while removing her cap.

Lu Chengzhou took the cap from her. “The weather may be hot, but you still shouldn’t take a cold shower.”
“Mm.” Gu Mang raised her eyebrows in acknowledgment before turning around to go to his bedroom.
While watching her leave, Lu Chengzhou’s phone suddenly rang. He retracted his gaze and took out his phone, only to see that the call was from his father.
…
Ten minutes later.
After coming out of the shower with a towel wrapped around her head, Gu Mang picked up the cup of warm water from the table and took a sip from it.
The bedroom door opened right at that moment.
She turned her head and saw Lu Chengzhou walking in. When their gazes met, she felt somewhat guilty, so she licked her lips and said, “Feel free to ask your questions.”
Lu Chengzhou raised his eyebrows. “I have nothing to ask. Do you have anything to say to me though?”
Gu Mang turned around and leaned slightly back to rest against the table as Lu Chengzhou made his way over to her. She took another sip of water before placing the cup down and looking into his eyes. “My mother is from the Bai family and I haven’t found the connection between my father and the Gu family. I know very little about Jijing Island. Jiangsui has been helping me investigate the matter for years, but we haven’t made any headway.”
She and Gu Si were the last descendants of the Gu family, so not many people knew about her father.
When her parents caught her reading a calculus book at the age of four, they told her not to let anyone else know about her ability and that she had to behave like a normal person or even inferior to one.
However, she caused quite a sensation when she beat a grown man to paralysis. From then on, they had many strange visitors visit their home. Her parents protected Gu Yin and her very well and never let anyone come in direct contact with them.
Later, when she was ten, the Head Elder came in person and brought her mother and her to Jijing Island. At that time, her mother had almost reached the final stretch of pregnancy.
Lu Chengzhou stopped in front of her and pressed the towel on her head, helping her dry her hair. “The Elders’ Association seems to be scared of you.”
Gu Mang chuckled. “Of course. Everyone is scared of those who aren’t afraid to die.”
Lu Chengzhou’s actions became a little harsher. “I care about your life a lot, so don’t do anything that will get you killed.”
