958 Meet the Evil Practice Again

“Gu Man, even though you’ll live in City B from now on, do remember to visit us in City F when you’re free,” Mrs. Hao said.

“I will!” Gu Man said.

“Since you are moving to City B now, you should be the host if we come here!” Mrs. Lu said.

“Ha-ha, of course! Come here to have fun whenever you want, and I’ll pay the bill,” Gu Man said. In fact, neither of them lacked money, and they were good friends too so they were willing to spend money on each other.

The women began to chat with each other, and Jiang Xu along with Gu Qinyang were left aside, so they started to talk about their work.

From their conversation, Jiang Xu got to know that the public institution that Gu Qinyang worked for was in trouble.

Gu Qinyang’s leader had accepted a bribe from a businessman, but the project proposal didn’t go well, so the businessman asked the leader to return his money. However, the leader couldn’t return it, so a person in their team would be left holding the bag.

Although the final decision wasn’t made yet, Gu Qinyang was still in danger.

Jiang Xu said that he should turn to Gu Ning for help.

Gu Qinyang also had that idea, but felt embarrassed to do it. He was much older than Gu Ning after all.

Jiang Xu, however, held a different opinion. They were a family, and Gu Ning had powerful connections. It wouldn’t be difficult for her to help Gu Qinyang out.

Gu Qinyang agreed, and decided to discuss it with Gu Ning later. He was unwilling to take the blame. If he lost his job, he couldn’t support his family.

…

Chu Peihan called Gu Ning a while later, and said that they were already in the airport of City B now.

Chu Peihan and the others arrived at City B at 9:30 pm.

Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei also came to City B.

They reached the airport half an hour earlier than Chu Peihan.

Xin Bei and Cao Wenxin were boyfriend and girlfriend, so it was necessary for him to attend the wedding of Cao Wenxin’s uncle.

…

After dinner, Gu Ning booked a presidential suite for Mrs. Hao and the other two noble ladies, so that they could stay together in the hotel.

As for the rest of the people, they went back to Huafu Hills.

Gu Ning dropped Gu Man and the others at Huafu Hills, then left for the airport.

This time, Gu Ning drove her sports car, and Cao Wenxin drove her own car, while Qiao Ya drove an MPV. They were going to pick up a lot of people, so they needed three cars.

Therefore, Gao Yi stayed and guarded the house alone.

Dozens of minutes later, they arrived at the airport and waited at the exit.

All of a sudden, Gu Ning sensed a strong Yin approaching. She became alert at once and her sight fell on a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man had grey hair and looked like he was in a bad mood. His whole body was covered in Yin, so Gu Ning believed that he must be a member of the Evil Practice.

What is he doing here?

Since she ran into the Evil Practice in City B, she had to figure it out.

“Excuse me, I need to deal with something. You can drive them home if I’m still absent when they show up,” Gu Ning said.

“Sure.” Qiao Ya nodded, but Cao Wenxin was worried. “Ningning, what happened?” It must be something urgent if Gu Ning had to leave right now.

“Well, I just saw a person who hurt my friend, and I need to follow him,” Gu Ning said and strode away without delay.

Even though Cao Wenxin was worried, she didn’t ask further after seeing Gu Ning walking away in a hurry.

Gu Ning followed the middle-aged man towards a black private car. There was another man standing before it. He threw the car key to the middle-aged man, then the middle-aged man drove the black car away.

The other man, however, got in another car and left too.

Gu Ning’s car was stopped not far away from them, so she started her car to chase them at once.

Because the middle-aged man was a member of the Evil Practice, he also had acute senses. Gu Ning didn’t dare to come too close, but followed a little further behind.

The middle-aged man and the second man went in different directions a while later.

…

Around 9:07 pm, Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei walked out, and saw Cao Wenxin and Qiao Ya at a glance. However, Gu Ning was absent. Leng Shaoting frowned and looked around feeling disappointed, because Gu Ning had promised to pick him up in person.

“Shaoting, please don’t be upset. Ningning just had an emergency to deal with and left in a hurry. She asked us to drive you home,” Cao Wenxin said to Leng Shaoting before he asked.

“Why did she leave in a hurry?” Leng Shaoting got anxious hearing that.

“She told me that she saw a person who hurt her friend.” Cao Wenxin explained.

Leng Shaoting didn’t know who the person was, but he understood that it must be something very important since Gu Ning had to dump him to deal with it.

“Why don’t you call her?” Cao Wenxin proposed.

“Nope, it’ll interrupt her,” Leng Shaoting said.

Afterwards, Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei left with Cao Wenxin, while Qiao Ya stayed to wait for Chu Peihan and the others.

…

Gu Ning was still following the middle-aged man’s car to an abandoned villa in a suburb at mid-mountain. The road outside the villa area was surrounded by mountains. Although there were street lights and vehicles passing by occasionally, it still looked gloomy and creepy.
