Chapter 1062: Something Seems Amiss

Editor: Atlas Studios

The Deiss Estate.

With a grave expression, An Rong stopped He Yidu, who was about to leave. "I know you have your ways to save Ms. Lin, but you have to take the Deiss family into consideration. Now that your identity is exposed, each of your actions will have a butterfly effect."

He Yidu frowned.

"The Deiss family is a long-standing honorable family in Country D. Have you thought about what your grandmother is going to do if you take action against the President’s House?" It was the first time An Rong spoke so firmly; she was usually gentle and soft.

He Yidu didn’t say anything, but his expression darkened.

An Rong released his arm as she said slowly and heavily, "You can take Ms. Lin back to the capital and give her a new identity. The President’s House won’t be able to do anything to you, but what about your grandmother’s family? A falling-out won’t do anything good to the Deiss family and the President’s House since they’re mutually supportive."

He Yidu clenched his fists.

"Your mother’s right." He Zhiwen’s expression wasn’t looking too good either. "While Meyett can give in for his own interest, what are you going to do if Miraine insists on blowing up the matter into a political issue between the two countries? Sasha is Miraine’s only daughter. Do you think she’ll let Ms. Lin off when her daughter is seriously injured?"

These words hit the nail on the head. The couple hadn’t expected things to end up in this state.

He Yidu pursed his lips. "Dad, Mom, do you think Lin Shuang pushed Sasha down the stairs?"

"It’s pointless to discuss this now. Everyone saw her doing it the second time. Her temper is similar to Young Madam Lu..." An Rong felt a headache coming on as she recalled the earlier incident. It was frightening enough when Gu Mang made a huge family like the Sang family disappear from the capital.

All of a sudden, He Zhiwen’s eyes widened as he looked at his son. "Can Jijing Island step in?"

An Rong immediately said, "Yes, that’s right. Given the friendship between Ms. Lin and Young Madam Lu, this matter will surely be resolved if Jijing Island is willing to step in."

...

On the car to the capital’s airport.

Gu Mang’s fingers flew across her phone’s screen as she instructed her fellow lab members about the follow-up experiment and applied for leave from Professor Tang and the others.

Lu Yī drove the car while Lu Qi contacted their men who were based in Country D.

Qin Fang didn’t dare ask Gu Mang what was going on when he saw her settling her own matters, so he decided to call He Yidu instead. As soon as he picked up his phone, though, he received an invitation to a video call from He Yidu. He picked up the call and anxiously asked, "What’s going on? Since Rich Lady is Country D’s eldest princess, then that makes Country D her home. How is she still getting into trouble at her own home?"

He Yidu was in his own bedroom when he briefed them about what happened.

Qin Fang’s jaw dropped in shock, and it took him several seconds before he managed to bring himself to say something. "What the f*ck? Is Sasha really Country D’s famous technical director? How could she come up with such a dumb idea to accuse Rich Lady of pushing her down the stairs?"

Rich Lady is even more impressive! She didn’t even give a word of explanation and decided to make the wrongful accusation real by pushing Sasha down the stairs in front of everyone! How crazy is that?! As expected of Gu Mang’s best friend! Most importantly, based on Red Flame’s detailed information about Sasha, she’s definitely considered as formidable in Country D. Qin Fang carefully snuck a glance at Gu Mang. I shouldn’t have believed Rich Lady when she said that her combat skills were average! How can that be when she’s hanging out with Gu Mang? She’s probably only considered average when compared to some sickos from Jijing Island...

"Sasha’s status in Country D’s political arena is very high. Her injury is really serious this time, and her hand might very well end up as disabled." He Yidu’s voice was cold and serious in a way that it had never been there before. "The Secretary of State led a joint crusade with everyone in the cabinet and put Lin Shuang in Devil Prison."

"Devil?! Are you talking about that monstrous jail in Country D? The gall of them!" Qin Fang was beyond shocked, his voice rising a decibel. One will know just how terrifying that prison is from hearing its name alone. The Devil Prison is where felons are locked up. One will experience a living hell inside once they enter the place. Those people actually locked up their princess in that hellhole? While those fools might not know that Lin Shuang and Gu Mang are friends, Meyett knows. When did he get the guts to do this?

He Yidu’s usual unperturbed eyes were filled with gloom. "It’s not convenient for me to get involved with this matter as it concerns Country D’s domestic affairs. On top of that, my identity is rather unique and my parents are here in Country D as well."

Qin Fang naturally understood his point. They were currently in the open and were influential figures in the capital. The political situation between the two countries would get trickier if they got involved with this matter. Besides, Lin Shuang’s matter had to be openly resolved with no dirty tricks involved.

He Yidu clenched his jaw. "Where’s Sis Mang?"

Qin Fang turned his phone screen to Gu Mang. "Sis-in-law."

Gu Mang stopped typing for a moment and looked up.

He Yidu’s voice grew heavy as he said, "This matter needs the help of Jijing Island. We might need the Elders’ Association or... Gu Si to step in..."

It wasn’t convenient for Gu Mang to step in now either, for it was an unwritten rule that all countries wouldn’t interfere with each other’s internal affairs. It was exactly because of this rule that Yun Ling contacted Gu Mang for help. The current Head Elder was Elder Bai, and his position was no different from a prime minister.

"Mm." Gu Mang’s pitch-black eyes were covered in frost. "Gu Si and Elder Bai have already set off."

They already set off? He Yidu heaved a small sigh of relief when he guessed that someone from Shadow League had already tipped Gu Mang off. "Got it. I’ll contact Gu Si then. No matter what, we have to get Lin Shuang out of Devil Prison first. Otherwise, I can’t be at ease."

At the thought of Devil Prison, Gu Mang’s eyes turned hostile. She then nodded and ended the video call. Her phone vibrated right at that moment. She had two messages from Yun Ling.

[For some reason, I feel that something... seems amiss about this.

[Never mind, we can’t care so much now. Be careful. It’s not so safe outside the capital.]

Gu Mang’s eyes moved as she replied, okay.

Silently and carefully, Lu Chengzhou studied Gu Mang’s expression as he spun his phone in his hand while being deep in thought. He then suddenly stopped spinning it, retracted his gaze, and then unlocked his phone to send an order out.

That was what Gu Mang saw when she turned her head after she finished settling her matter. The message was immediately deleted after it was marked as read.

Gu Mang gave it a thought before holding his hand with her own cool hand.

Lu Chengzhou looked up and met her black and bright eyes. He let out a low chuckle and squeezed her fingertips. "I won’t stop you. I just got my men to make some preparations."

"What preparations?" Qin Fang, who was sitting in the back seat, was baffled to hear that. Country D just wants to force Jijing Island to step in and benefit from the negotiation. Who knows? They probably colluded with each other to put on an act of falling down the stairs and hosting a joint crusade. Both Gu Mang and Gu Si have already stepped in, yet Meyett still dares to offend Jijing Island?

...

Gu Si furrowed his eyebrows. Although he didn’t think that things were as simple as Elder Bai said, he didn’t comment on it. His face, which was hidden in the shadow of his cap, was dark. He said in his childish voice, "Let’s get Sister Lin out of Devil Prison first." It’s best if we can settle this matter before my sister comes. I don’t want those people bothering her. Those old farts are always beating around the bush and rambling nonsense in a strange and hypocritical manner.

"That might be the case... but I wouldn’t dare to retaliate," said Gu Si with a sigh. My sis wants to groom Tang Yu, and Tangtang is even good friends with the pair of siblings, Bai Feichi and Bai Yan. How could I put up a fight?! Besides, Tangtang is always giving me presents. I have to protect her well, or I’ll no longer have any more presents to receive.
