Chapter 809: Leng Xuan Gets Humiliated
Gu Mang lifted the corner of her lips. “If someone told you that you had to choose between yourself and the person you loved, who would you choose?”
Lu Chengzhou’s heart ached for Gu Mang when he saw the smile on her face.
“The reason the Gu family and the Elders’ Association chose me is because they don’t want to wait anymore,” she continued. “The Elders’ Association took Gu Si away as soon as he was born and I could only see him once every few months. When he turned one, I noticed that he had good concentration and number sense. He’s very much like me.”
After wiping her hair semi-dry, he pulled a chair over for her to sit in before continuing to dry her hair with a hair dryer.
She lazily leaned toward the side and against his body, her eyes flashing red as she said, “While I was in seclusive training, the Elders’ Association seized the chance to send Gu Si to 102 Research Base for Leng Xuan to experiment on him.”
Upon noticing the shift in her emotions, Lu Chengzhou slowed down his actions as if he were comforting her. Gu Mang paused for a moment. “The Bai family sacrificed three batches of people before the news finally reached me.”
The Bai family had no speaking rights in front of the Elders’ Association, so Gu Mang was only the person who could save Gu Si.
She had no idea how many people she killed that day, but by the time she entered the research base’s lab, Gu Si had already been anesthetized and was lying on an operating table that was several times larger than himself. The most horrifying thing was that Leng Xuan’s scalpel had already sliced through Gu Si’s skin.
“What sort of a place is the 102 Research Base?” Lu Chengzhou had read a lot of information about Jijing Island, but he had never come across the research base which was a given if it was top secret on Jijing Island.
Gu Mang shook her head. She had no clue either. “I only entered that place once and that was when I saved Gu Si. It’s probably a biological research base.”
She did not go into the specifics about how she managed to rescue Gu Si. While telling him the story her tone had been light, as if it were no big deal.
That was when Lu Chengzhou recalled what she said earlier. Everyone is scared of those who aren’t afraid to die.
He could imagine just how out of control she was back then such that neither Huo Zhi nor the Head Elder dared to openly provoke Gu Mang even to this day.
While Lu Chengzhou was lightly fiddling with her semi-dried hair, Gu Mang suddenly remembered the day they met in front of Gu Si’s elementary school.
She was seven when her parents sent her to Clearwater High School and it was because they knew that Lu Shangjin, who had been ousted from the Lu family, was there. They wanted to make use of his family’s power to send Gu Si to the Beast Camp, a stepping stone to entering Red Scorpion.
However, later on, she realized that Lu Chengzhou seemed to be interested in her, so she allowed him to hang around her. It just so happened that things spiraled out of her control after that.
She raised her head slightly to look at him. I must’ve been blinded by lust.
...
Jijing Island’s Council Building, meeting room.
The last time the Head Elder had flown into a rage was when Huo Zhi failed to bring Gu Si back from Mingyu Island, resulting in Jijing Island suffering a great loss.
What happened this time, however, had a greater impact on Jijing Island. Gu Mang’s identity had been completely exposed to the Elders’ Association.
“How should we settle this matter now?! We’ve embarrassed ourselves across the internet! When has Jijing Island ever made such a foolish mistake?!” yelled the Head Elder with a darkened expression.
“I warned you to not provoke her,” said Huo Zhi indifferently while sitting in his seat of honor. He ignored the glare that the Head Elder shot his way and stood up. “Whoever caused this trouble shall bear the responsibility themselves.”
After saying that, he left the meeting room.
As Leng Xuan tightened her grip on the armrests, she narrowed her cold, gleaming eyes. Gu Mang knows that I’m the one holding her medicine, yet she still dares to go against me?!
Once Huo Zhi left, the meeting room quieted down and an oppressive and tense atmosphere filled the room. Nobody dared to make a sound.
After some time, the Head Elder turned toward Leng Xuan. “Go make a public apology to Ms. Gu and Capital University. Admit that you changed her score.”
Leng Xuan looked up and stared at the Head Elder in disbelief.
