Chapter 943: Gu Si Almost Rushed to Red Flame to Kill Me

The lights in the washroom were bright and cold. Under the baseball cap, Gu Mang’s refined eyes were hidden by shadow, making them indiscernible. Hearing what Lu Chengzhou had said, she reached out and pushed the brim of the cap down before looking up.

As the man held onto the handle of the door, he could sense her gaze. He turned his head slightly and met eyes with her. She was staring at him.

Lu Chengzhou was speechless but a thought emerged in his mind.

Looking at Gu Mang, he asked seriously, “Bai Sui’s face is not as handsome as mine. Why are you still charmed by it? Your man is not as charming as other men?”

The way she was looking at him made her look like a playgirl who would run away once she had slept with someone.

Gu Mang was rather speechless. It was especially weird because he was flirting with her while wearing Bai Sui’s face.

“You’re still looking?” Lu Chengzhou pinched her face lightly and said, “Tell me why you don’t want to see blood? And Gu Si almost rushed to Red Flame to kill me that day. I have been by your side the entire time. I didn’t do anything to incur anyone’s fury, did I?”

Gu Mang suddenly thought that the question she had in mind was no longer a question.

She tilted her head playfully and smiled meaningfully. She raised her eyebrows slightly. “What do you think?”

Lu Chengzhou was speechless.

Just then, footsteps could be heard from outside. They were here. The two exchanged glances.

“I’ll think about it once we get out of this damn place.” Lu Chengzhou brushed her face with the back of his fingers.

…

At the observation deck.

Gu Mang was escorted respectfully by Elder Mo and the Head Elder’s trusted aide.

Seeing how composed Bai Sui looked even after killing Leng Shi made everyone’s expressions darken. Bai Sui could forget about leaving Base 102 alive today.

The subordinates opened the door and stood to the sides. All of the people from Jijing Island who held high positions were gathered at the observation deck. Hearing a commotion, they shifted their attention towards Gu Mang and Bai Sui.

Upon seeing Brahma, Gu Mang’s gaze paused on him discreetly, as if she were surprised to see him at Base 102.

Brahma smiled and gave her a respectful nod.

Elder Bai looked at Lu Chengzhou worryingly as he clenched his fists. He had not expected Lu Chengzhou to suddenly make a move. He was way too daring.

Gu Si was sitting near the door. He jumped out of his chair and approached Gu Mang. “Sis.”

After saying that, his gaze lingered on Gu Mang’s abdomen for two seconds before he looked up at her.

Gu Mang patted his head. Then, Gu Si glanced at Lu Chengzhou.

His gaze was very affirming.

It was as if he was telling him “Buddy, well done!”

Since Gu Si’s mood changed so drastically, Lu Chengzhou did not have much of a reaction this time around.

The atmosphere was very tense, but the people beside Gu Mang were very calm.

Looking at them, the Head Elder’s gaze grew darker. “Young Lady, how are you going to explain Bai Sui offending someone of a higher status than him by killing Leng Shi?”

Gu Mang remained silent. She walked over and found a random chair to sit on.

Lu Chengzhou and Gu Si followed her.

Gu Mang removed her baseball cap and tossed it on the table. Then, she took a bottle of water, removed its cap, and took a few sips of water with her legs crossed. The bottle was very small. Once she finished drinking, she crushed the plastic bottle and threw it on the conference table.

Seeing how arrogant she was, everyone frowned.

Gu Mang looked up and said, “You want an explanation?”

She was dominating the situation. She was clearly the one being interrogated. However, at that moment, their positions seemed to have switched.

The Head Elder looked at her with his old eyes. There was a cold glint in his gaze. “I don’t need to say much about Leng Shi’s status. Young Lady, you should know the losses Base 102 has to bear now that Bai Sui has killed her. The Special Agents Team is in a mess now and we need to give them an explanation. Young Lady, I hope you focus on the big picture and hand Bai Sui over to us.”

Gu Mang gave him a superficial smile. “Dream on.”

When Old Master Leng heard her defiant words, his gaze filled with fury. “Gu Mang! We are only addressing you as Young Lady because we respect Mr. Huo and the Head Elder. Based on the Gu family’s current status, do you think you even have the right to speak in front of us?”

The sons of the Leng family were disappointing. They could not endure the training at Base 102.

Only Leng Xuan and Leng Shi, two daughters, had found their footing at Base 102.

Ever since Gu Mang came back…

Leng Xuan had not recovered from her major injuries. Leng Shi had died in her own territory. The Leng family’s villa had been burned down and they had been forced to give up two important ports. This affected the Leng family greatly.

At the thought of this, fury arose in Old Master Leng. He wished he could vent his anger by killing Gu Mang.

Huo Zhi frowned. He looked at Old Master Leng. “Old Master Leng, since we all know Gu Mang’s identity now, please mind your language.”

Old Master Leng pursed his lips as his expression froze. Huo Zhi had declared his stance.

When Elder Bi spoke, it was clear that he was respectful towards Gu Mang. “Young Lady, we are not asking you to take responsibility. Bai Sui was the one who killed her. You just have to hand him over.”

“He is too disrespectful! How dare he kill Leng Shi? One day he will point the gun at us too, won’t he?!”

“How can a subordinate find the courage to do this?! Who would believe that he wasn’t instructed to do so?”

“Gu Mang, we are already offering you face by not asking you to take responsibility. You should know when to be grateful.” Leng Xuan was not as careful with her words as she spoke arrogantly.

She was implying that Gu Mang was behind this. No one mentioned that Leng Shi was the one who broke the rules first. She had been seeking death.

The Head Elder narrowed his eyes. “Young Lady, hand Bai Sui over and you can continue with the assessment. Don’t ruin the harmony among us because of a subordinate.”

Gu Mang rested her arms on the armrests as she said carelessly, “What if I don’t hand him over?”

“Young Lady, this is Base 102. Don’t force us to take action,” the Head Elder warned. There were too many people on the platform. If they did not settle this, they would incur heavy consequences once the public found out.

The Director of the Special Agents Team had been killed under so many people’s watch. It would certainly cause a stir amongst their enemies.

Hugging her arms, Ye Junci said calmly, “We are only talking about how Bai Sui shot Leng Shi. Have we already forgotten who fired the first shot?”

As she said this, she scanned everyone who was present.

The Ye family always kept a neutral stance in every fight, so everyone was surprised to hear Ye Junci speak especially since she sounded like she was defending Gu Mang.

Was the Ye family taking a stance?

“If all of you think that she was the one who instructed Bai Sui to shoot Leng Shi, can I also say that the Leng family was the one who instructed Leng Shi to shoot Young Lady so that Gu Mang would not be able to pass the assessment?” Elder Bai’s face was solemn.

Leng Xuan scoffed. “She only passed the first and second rounds. Does she really think that she can replace me? Can she even pass the assessment?”

The Head Elder would not let Gu Mang out of Base 102. To say that they should continue the assessment was just a pretense.

The medical round involved the most important team. They were some of the most talented doctors in the world, handpicked by Leng Xuan. Gu Mang definitely would not pass.

However, since so many people were watching, the Head Elder had to put on a good show.

In the agreement they had signed with Gu Mang, there were terms involving the Gu family’s old assets. If Gu Mang won, all of the Gu family’s assets held by the entire Elders’ Association would be returned to her.

“Excuse me.” Brahma suddenly asked the Head Elder, “What other aspects does the assessment include?”

The aspects of the assessment were not top secret.

The Head Elder said, “Mathematics, martial arts, intelligence code conversion, and medical skills.”

Brahma nodded. “I think there’s no need to waste any more time.”

The Head Elder paused. “What do you mean?”

Brahma smiled and looked at everyone. “Do all of you think God Ji can pass the remaining rounds of the assessment?”

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other. They still could not understand what Brahma meant.

However, the Head Elder’s eyes lit up. “You want God Ji to take over Base 102?”

The number of external talent at the Base 102 was dwindling every year. They had been going downhill.

If they recruited God Ji from outside, they could access his connections too. The advantages of doing this were definitely greater than its costs. As long as they did not let God Ji access their core technology, it would be fine.

Everyone in the Elder’s Association was thinking the same thing but they had mixed opinions.

Other than the Bai family and Ye family, everyone else hoped that God Ji would come to Jijing Island.
