Chapter 704: Distress Letter from Mingyu Island
After a few seconds of silence...
“Forget it,” Lu Chengzhou suddenly said again, taking back what he had said before. “It’s quite convenient for you to stay at Royal Garden. I will give your two roommates a few jars of honey later. Whenever you have time, you should eat with them.”
The corner of He Yidu’s lips twitched.
Was he using materialistic gifts to help them maintain an uneasy friendship with their Sister Mang?
Gu Mang looked into his black eyes and smiled. “Sure.”
...
Withdrawing from campus housing went very smoothly.
When she moved in, Lu Chengzhou had helped her pack for move in. Now, he was helping her pack up to leave.
Tang Xiaoxiao and Zheng Miao had classes in the afternoon.
Gu Mang sent them a text on WeChat to inform them that she would be moving out and then she left with Lu Chengzhou. Tang Xiaoxiao and Zheng Miao only saw the message when classes had ended. They hurried back to the dormitory but Gu Mang’s bed was already empty.
There were two bottles of honey on each of their tables, along with several course reading materials.
Tang Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Mang’s empty bed and felt fury in her chest. “Shen Qianzi is too much!”
Previously, they always thought well of Shen Qianzi.
Zheng Miao’s face darkened. “Shen Qianzi should be the one leaving! Why did Gu Mang go?”
Tang Xiaoxiao sighed and sat on her chair. She took a sip of water. “She doesn’t want to stay in school any longer, I guess.”
First, there was Su Jiaying. Now, there was Shen Qianzi. It made sense that she didn’t want to stay in the dorms any longer.
They already had so many readings and assignments to do, yet they still had to be wary of people like Shen Qianzi causing trouble for them. It was a great annoyance.
Just then, Shen Qianzi pushed the door open and entered.
Tang Xiaoxiao glanced at her with an unrestrained look of annoyance in her eyes. She said loudly, “Miaomiao, let’s go for dinner.”
“Alright.” Zheng Miao put down her bag and took her card before leaving with Tang Xiaoxiao.
They did not give Shen Qianzi a proper look from the moment she stepped into the dormitory.
After they left and the door was closed, Shen Qianzi bit her lip and clenched her fists until they turned pale.
...
At Royal Garden.
After dealing with the matters at the He Corporation, Lin Shuang came over to join in the fun after hearing that Gu Mang had moved out from the dorms.
In the kitchen, Lu Yī cooked some food for them.
Lu Chengzhou, Qin Fang, and He Yidu were in the study. They seemed to be discussing something. Gu Mang and Lin Shuang stood on the balcony.
“Bian Xiulin and Jiang Yeguang, the two who came back from the medical organization. In addition, Elder Song.” Lin Shuang held a can of beer casually and shook her wrist. “Lu Chengzhou has been in contact with a lot of people in the medical field lately.”
There was no connection between the Criminal Division and Lu Chengzhou.
When she had heard from He Yidu that they were going to attend a talk at Capital University in the afternoon, she found it rather odd. Although Elder Song was indeed great, it was not to the point that Lu Chengzhou would personally attend a talk by him.
She wondered what he was up to.
Gu Mang rested her arms on the railing with a cigarette between her fingers. She replied lazily, “Haven’t figured out the reason that Lu Chengzhou looked for me?”
“Nope.” Lin Shuang leaned on the railing and looked at Gu Mang. “But doctors are meant to heal patients. Otherwise, maybe he has a complicated research project going on. It could be of great difficulty.”
Old Madam’s illness was already in control. Gu Mang thought the second guess was more likely.
But why would Lu Chengzhou get involved in a medical research project?
“It depends on the situation.” Gu Mang flicked the ashes of her cigarette. “There are still a few missions on the Alliance side.”
Lin Shuang thought of something and smiled. “I heard that Responsive Dragon has gone to Mingyu Island to join in on the fun. He’s earning money from Huo Zhi in Lu Chengzhou’s territory. I think Lu Chengzhou’s gonna teach him a lesson.”
Just then, Gu Mang’s phone vibrated violently.
In the internal chat app.
A distress message from Responsive Dragon. [Fifth Brother! Help! Lu Chengzhou intercepted my goods!]
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows slightly and showed her phone to Lin Shuang.
“Oh f*ck! He really got dealt with?” Lin Shuang widened her eyes as she read the message. Then, the corner of her eyes twitched. “I think I jinxed it...”
