Bai residence, study.
Lu Chengzhou sat across from Old Master Bai. ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฐ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ฒ๐ฅ.๐๐๐
"Gu Mang is the Miracle Doctor?" Old Master Bai was taken aback by the news. Never in the world did he expect his granddaughter to be the revered Miracle Doctor.
Lu Chengzhou nodded.
"Then why did she step in to save Leng Xuan? Was it an order from Shadow League?" Old Master Leng frowned in perplexity. If Gu Mang is working for Shadow League, then that explains everything. The management must be very strict at such a huge organization, so she has no choice but to obey her superiorsโ orders. Her personal vendetta with Leng Xuan is nothing compared to Shadow League expanding its influence into Jijing Island, after all.
Jijing Island had always been closed-off to outsiders. Before, the only external organization on Jijing Island was Killer Alliance, but the black market now belonged to Red Flame. It only made sense that Shadow League would not give up this golden opportunity.
When talking on the phone with Lu Si, Lu Chengzhou could not get over the fact that Gu Mang had ruined his plans when he found out that she had stepped in to save Leng Xuan. However, upon further thinking, many images surfaced in his mind.
Gu Mangโs not someone who will obey orders. His heart started thumping hard when he recalled the time she had displayed her hacking skills at Red Flame. She...
"I wonder if Shadow Leagueโs expansion into Jijing Island is a good thing. I heard that the Bi family has already started to extend their goodwill to Shadow League. On top of that, we donโt know how much say Gu Mang has in Shadow League," said Old Master Bai worriedly. The people in high positions of power always weigh the pros and cons first. Thereโs no telling which side Arctic Fox will stand on if the Bi familyโs offer is generous enough.
Lu Chengzhou merely smirked in response. "Sheโs got quite a lot of secrets."
"Pardon?" asked Old Master Bai in confusion.
"Donโt worry, Grandpa. Everything will be fine." Lu Chengzhou then stood up and politely said goodbye to the elderly man. "Iโll get going now." ๐๐ซ๐๐๐จ๐๐ฏ๐๐ ๐๐๐.๐๐ผ๐
"Wait."
Lu Chengzhou looked back.
Old Master Bai rose to his feet as well. "The assessment will take place in three days. How is Gu Mangโs hand recovering?"
"Sheโll be removing her cast today." Lu Chengzhou broke into laughter when he recalled Gu Mangโs attitude toward him. "Iโm not sure how much her hand has healed. She only trusts Jiangsui and Yu Mufeng and rarely takes Bai Qingqing and me out with her."
After Lu Chengzhou forced Gu Mang to take her meds earlier, he lost the chance to get close to her. Even Bai Qingqing had been cast aside since Lin Shuang came.
As Old Master Bai watched the door close, the smile on his face slowly slipped away. It looks like things are going to get chaotic on Jijing Island.
