Chapter 308: Pick Up Point, Stir Things Up
Meng Jinyang nodded and removed a few lollipops from her cabinet. Then, she passed them to Gu Mang. “Take these with you.”
Gu Mang smirked and put them into her pocket. “I’m going off now.”
She pushed the baseball cap on her head down and turned around to leave.
...
The moment she passed the school gates, she saw Lu Chengzhou’s SUV by the road.
Gu Mang walked over calmly. Quite a lot of people had heard about her applying for one month of leave in the morning. It was now dismissal time and several students dressed in the Year Three uniform were looking over in her direction.
Gu Yin had gone to the medical organization while Gu Mang was also leaving now. The top performing student and the second top performing student were both leaving. Gu Mang looked expressionless and she did not even look around.
Lu Chengzhou went to take her bag from her shoulder. Then, he held her hand. “What time is your flight?”
“10.”
Lu Chengzhou nodded and opened the door to the passenger seat to let her in. “Let’s go and eat first.”
Gu Mang bent down to enter the car. “Sure,” she said in a low voice.
Along the way to the airport the two of them found a random restaurant and they sat at a window seat.
Lu Chengzhou picked a sweet and sour pork rib and put it on her plate. “Which city in Country K are you going to?”
Gu Mang bit into the pork rib slowly and answered lazily, “The capital.”
Lu Chengzhou took a sip of water and put the glass by the side.
Seeing that the two cups were almost empty, the waiter came over to refill them.
“I have ordered someone to pick you up in Country K.” Lu Chengzhou picked up his phone and keyed in a phone number. Then, he sent it to Gu Mang’s WeChat. “Contact him when you land.”
Gu Mang was rather shocked. The phone on the table vibrated and she scanned it. Then, she looked up. “Oh.”
She looked down and continued eating.
Lu Chengzhou laughed lightly with his gaze still fixed on her. He thought for a while and spoke again in a low and slow tone that was really soothing. “Have you practiced shooting before?”
“Yeah.” Gu Mang’s throat was dry and she took a sip of water. Then, she cleared her throat and looked into his deep, black eyes.
Lu Chengzhou was wondering what Gu Mang’s firm reply meant. Then, he narrowed his eyes. She was probably pretty good at shooting now.
“When you reach Country K bring a gun with you.” He lowered his voice as he scooped a bowl of soup for her and placed it beside her hand. “Don’t hurt yourself if you get into a fight.”
Gu Mang looked at him with her dark, black eyes but said nothing.
Was he worried about her?
Lu Chengzhou’s expression was steady. He lifted his chin. “Drink some soup.”
...
The two of them arrived at the airport after their meal.
Lin Shuang was sitting on a long bench at the departure hall. She perked up and propped up her face with her hands. In a slow voice she said, “You’re here.”
Gu Mang nodded and turned around to take her black backpack from Lu Chengzhou.
“Contact me by phone.” She looked at him and slung the bag over her shoulder nonchalantly. Then, she stuck both her hands into her pockets and spoke again after some thought. “I’ll try to come back asap.”
Lin Shuang squinted. They were clearly in love!
Lu Chengzhou acknowledged with a hum. “Text me when you’ve arrived.”
Gu Mang nodded and looked at Lin Shuang. “Let’s go.”
Lin Shuang put down her legs and got up. She smiled at Lu Chengzhou. “Young Master Lu, see you when I see you.”
Only when the two of them had entered the immigration checkpoint did Lu Chengzhou turn around and head towards the car park.
As soon as he got into the car he felt something vibrating. There was a mobile phone in the passenger seat. Lu Chengzhou stopped moving his hand on the steering wheel and his eyes turned to look at it. It was a call from Qin Fang.
The moment he picked up a desperate voice sounded from the other end. “Brother Cheng, something happened at the pick up point for our goods that just arrived in Ming City. A bunch of people appeared suddenly and we got into a fight. We are outnumbered and we need reinforcements immediately!”
No. 14 Research Lab needed this batch of goods urgently.
