Editor: Atlas Studios

Gu Si returned to his room. He lay down in bed and flipped around. The fury in his heart wouldn’t subside. He got up and went to the computer. Soon, green code could be seen reflected on his cold and youthful face as he tapped the keyboard rapidly.

...

Red Flame’s technical team.

The technical team was coming up with a new system. Suddenly, a red alarm sounded in the base.

"Oh damn! What the f*ck is going on?!" This was their first time being hacked in a while. The entire technical team was shocked and they flew into a panick.

Who could possibly hack Red Flame’s system?!

...

At the same time.

Lin Shuang came out from the shower dressed in a spare bathrobe. She looked down and tightened the strap.

Gu Mang was reading a medical book while leaning against the bed. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Seeing that she had not fallen asleep, Lin Shuang had a casual chat with her. "Tell me, what’s with the bet with the Elders’ Association? It’s not as simple as it seems, right?"

"There is another agreement." Gu Mang did not conceal it from her. "If I fail the assessment, I will go to Base 102 and be their guinea pig. If I pass, all of the Gu family’s assets that are in the hands of the Elders’ Association will be mine."

"So they are here to give you money." Lin Shuang laughed. "I thought the people on Jijing Island would be smarter. Aren’t they supposed to be geniuses?"

She had seen how extraordinary Gu Mang was. Her healing ability was beyond that of an ordinary person. Although she only had 15 days, as long as she used some special medication, it wouldn’t be a big problem to get her arm back to its normal state.

Lin Shuang went to the table and grabbed a box of cigarettes. Then, she walked in front of Gu Mang and handed her one out of habit. "Do you want one?"

Gu Mang looked up and answered, "I’ve quit."

Lin Shuang squinted and gave her a look of disbelief. "Q-Quit... Can you say that again?"

"I’ve quit smoking," Gu Mang repeated and added, "If you want to smoke, go to the balcony."

"No." Lin Shuang laughed. "If you want to quit, so be it. Why do you care about where I’m going to smoke?"

"If you want to, go outside. Otherwise, don’t smoke." Gu Mang’s voice was cold.

Gu Mang knew that Lin Shuang wouldn’t step into the cold just to smoke a cigarette.

But when she looked at Gu Mang, she couldn’t help but answer, "Tsk, it’s true, the longer you live, the more you see. I can’t believe that you actually quit smoking. I guess an old dog can learn new tricks after all."

Gu Mang said nothing in response.

Lin Shuang pushed the cigarette back into the box and casually threw it to the bedside cabinet. As she sat at the side of the bed, her body stiffened suddenly. Others may not know about Gu Mang’s skills, but how could she not know?

Gu Mang getting injured was an anomaly. There were many things that only required an instance to understand. Also, Lin Shuang and Gu Mang were ride or die friends. The bond they shared was strong.

She turned to look at Gu Mang. "Are you not letting me smoke around you because you are afraid that I might affect someone?"

Gu Mang briefly paused as she flipped through the pages, but Lin Shuang saw it.

The room was quiet for a few seconds.
