1191 A Cunning Trick

"Didn't you say the promise never existed? Why did you try to grab the phone away?" Members of the Warriors sneered.

There was no need for them to show the proof right now, because the reaction of the members of the Bulls already proved everything.

Unfortunately, the leader and coach of the Bulls were absent, and the rest of the members of the Bulls didn't know how to handle it.

"Ha-ha, actually we don't have a recording, and we have no intention to force you to fulfill your promise either, but you've embarrassed yourselves in front of everyone!" a member of the Warriors said.

The Warriors didn't have the power to punish the Bulls, so it was useless even if they had a voice recording.

"How dare you trick us!" The members of the Bulls were furious.

"So what? We only did it because you refused to admit it," the members of the Warriors said.

"You…" The members of the Bulls were struck dumb.

���Alright, let's go now. I'm starving. Why don't we dine together to celebrate the great success today?" a member of the Warriors said.

"Good idea!" Gu Ning cheered.

After that, they walked together to the outside.

The coach of the Warriors joined them as well. Although Gu Ning won the game with the help of her kung fu skills, he still admired her.

"Oh, Xiaoyu is supposed to pay the bill today, but he couldn't come because he's injured. He already told me to do it for him. Miss Gu has done us a great favor, and we should thank her," a member of the Warriors said.

They normally ate in the canteen, because the food there was very cheap. And when they dined outside, they tended to split the bill.

Even though they weren't poor, they were already used to it.

"Miss Gu, thank you so much for treating Xiaoyu's leg. He's very important in our team," another member of the Warriors said.

"What? She treated Xiaoyu's leg?" Their coach was very surprised hearing that.

"Yeah, Miss Gu just treated Xiaoyu's leg yesterday, and Xiaoyu told me that he feels much better today. He can walk now, but it will still take time for him to make a full recovery," a member of the Warriors said with excitement.

They were confident that Teng Xiaoyu would be well again in a few days.

"Really?" Their coach couldn't believe his ears.

After all, the doctor said it would take at least half a month for Teng Xiaoyu to recover, but Gu Ning was able to cure him within several days. Gu Ning didn't seem to be an experienced doctor in his eyes.

Although he knew that Gu Ning wasn't an ordinary girl after watching the game, he still couldn't believe that she could easily cure Teng Xiaoyu.

"It is true!" The members of the Warriors confirmed it.

"Miss Gu, thank you so much!" Their coach turned to thank Gu Ning at once.

Teng Xiaoyu was indeed very important to the Warriors, so it was good news for them if he could recover soon.

The coach was curious about how Gu Ning was able to cure Teng Xiaoyu, but he didn't ask further about it.

He knew that he shouldn't ask for more details if Gu Ning didn't tell them of her own accord.

"It's not a big deal. Xiaoyu is a close friend of my older cousin, so I'm more than willing to help," Gu Ning said with a smile.

If it hadn't been for Tang Jiakai, Teng Xiaoyu wouldn't have been treated by Gu Ning.

"Your older cousin?" The coach was curious.

"Miss Gu's older cousin is Tang Jiakai," a member of the Warriors said.

Their coach was aware of Tang Jiakai's family background, but he didn't know much about the Tang family's family affairs.

In addition, Gu Ning and Tang Jiakai didn't share the same family name, so the coach didn't know that they were relatives.

"Oh, thank you so much, Jiakai!" the coach thanked Tang Jiakai at once.

"My pleasure. Xiaoyu is a close friend of mine, so I must do something to help him if I can. By the way, the Bulls are really hateful, and we should teach them a lesson!" Tang Jiakai said.

Tang Jiakai hated people who played dirty tricks, especially when the victim was his close friend.

…

After that, they began to casually chat with each other.

Although the coach didn't ask for details about how Gu Ning cured Teng Xiaoyu, he was curious about Gu Ning's medical level. Therefore, he asked Gu Ning whether she was a medical student.

Gu Ning knew nothing about medicine, and she was very honest. However, she could see that the coach wanted to ask her something about illnesses.

Accordingly, Gu Ning told the coach to ask her anything he wanted to know and she was willing to give him some advice if he needed it.

1192 Don"t Mess with Gu Ning

The coach told Gu Ning that his wife had always been short of energy for the last two years and her face was always pale too. They had done many checks in different hospitals, but his wife's condition didn't improve at all.

Gu Ning then told him to visit Colaine to buy some medicine for his wife's condition.

"Yeah, Colaine is really famous for its effective medicines," Tang Jiakai said, in case the coach didn't believe her.

The coach thanked Gu Ning at once and decided to buy some Colaine medicines later.

He didn't ask Gu Ning for her background, so he missed the chance to know her real identity.

Actually, he still had doubts about Colaine, because his wife had already taken so many different kinds of medicines. However, he still had hope. Since Gu Ning was able to cure Teng Xiaoyu, it was possible that she could help his wife too.

…

When they were leaving for the restaurant, some onlookers uploaded videos of Gu Ning playing the basketball match against several professional basketball players to the Internet.

They didn't know Gu Ning's name, so the videos spread out slowly. After a short time, however, someone recognized Gu Ning and soon reposted the videos to Weibo and @(mentioned) many entertainment influencers.

Followers of those entertainment influencers noticed this news at once.

Within minutes, the videos went viral and Gu Ning's name gained a lot of attention once more.

Some haters were jealous of Gu Ning and criticized her for continuously attracting public attention. Some also said that as a highschool student, she should study hard for the National College Entrance Examination.

Nevertheless, Gu Ning's fans defended her without hesitation. Because Gu Ning was already super popular and famous, there was no need for her to deliberately attract public attention.

Besides, the title made it very clear that someone challenged Gu Ning, so Gu Ning had the match against them.

In addition, Gu Ning was well-known to be an excellent student in her school, and she could easily pass the National College Entrance Examination with high scores.

At the same time, the Bulls were amid criticisms.

The national college basketball competition was an important game and it was held by the government, so there was a lot of news about it on TV and newspapers. As a result, many people weren't unfamiliar with the names of those basketball teams.

The finals were divided into three levels: the preliminary finals, semifinals and finals.

For now, the semi finals had just ended and it was only five days away from the finals.

The finals actually gained a lot of attention from a lot of people, especially from college students and those who were involved in the sports industry.

Because all the basketball teams were selected from major universities, most college students were aware of this competition. The schoolmates of the teams that successfully entered the finals also paid special attention to this game, because it was related to the honor of their school

Some of them who knew a lot about Gu Ning blamed the Bulls for its stupid aggressive behavior. In their eyes, Gu Ning was someone they couldn't mess with.

The Bulls soon heard this news, and its members finally figured out who Gu Ning was.

They were surprised by Gu Ning's influence, but hated her more, because they believed that it was Gu Ning who damaged the reputation of their team.

Therefore, they began to attack Gu Ning on the Internet, but were attacked back by Gu Ning's fans.

They were annoyed and didn't understand why Gu Ning had so many loyal fans to defend her. They thought that Gu Ning was only a beautiful girl who had several profitable stores.

In fact, they didn't know much about Gu Ning and now they were full of hatred against her as well.

Nevertheless, even though they were furious, they could do nothing to hurt Gu Ning.

All in all, the Bulls lost the game and its reputation was damaged too.

…

Gu Ning didn't pay much attention to the news, and she left after having a meal with her new friends. Tang Jiakai also had to go back to his school so Gu Ning drove him there.

Tang Jiakai normally didn't drive, unless he needed to go home on weekends by himself.

Tang Jiakai lived in his school, because he wanted to make friends with his schoolmates. Moreover, the Tang family's house was a little far from Tang Jiakai's school.

Although he was born in a super-rich family, he still kept a very low profile.

He was studying in a highly prestigious university, so his schoolmates all had a bright future.

…

When the members of the Warriors got back, someone asked them whether they had noticed the latest trending news on the Internet. They shook their heads, then read the news at once.

After reading the news, the members of the Warriors were only surprised that it caused a great sensation on the Internet. Their coach, on the other hand, was shocked by Gu Ning's influence and real identity.

He had heard a little about Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi, and he knew that their founder was a very important figure. However, to his astonishment, their founder turned out to be Gu Ning.

Chapter 1193 Zhuang Zixuan

When Gu Ning drove Tang Jiakai back to his school, it was nearly 2:30 pm and some students were walking into it as well.Many of them were stunned by Gu Ning's car, and several students even shouted out in excitement."Wow, isn't it Lamborghini? It looks so cool!"

"Yeah, it's the limited edition of last year. I heard it's super hard to get one."

…

There weren't many super-rich kids in this university, and a luxury car was definitely something rare in their eyes.

"Is there a handsome man in it?" Some girls wondered, full of anticipation.

If there was really a handsome man in the luxury car, they had to show their best side to him.

Some girls were snobbish and dreamed that they could be picked by a handsome rich man so that they could live a luxurious life. Even though it wasn't very likely to happen, they refused to give up.

…

The car stopped at the gate of their school, then Tang Jiakai opened the car door and got out of it.

The second those girls saw Tang Jiakai, they screamed out loud.

"Oh, it's him!"

"He's one of the most handsome men in our school!"

Not many people knew Tang Jiakai's family background in their school. However, although Tang Jiakai's family background was a secret, his schoolmates were aware that his family had to be either rich or powerful.

Because most of the students in this university came from cities around this country, they weren't familiar with the dominant families in the high society of City B.

In fact, only people from the high society were clear about the dominant families in City B.

The richest Tang family was famous in City B, but Tang Jiakai's schoolmates didn't connect him with it right away.

However, Tang Jiakai showed up in a luxury car this time, which made his schoolmates believe that his family must be very rich.

Tang Jiakai was already used to their reaction, so he directly ignored them and walked into the school.

Gu Ning was amused and drove away.

Because of Tang Jiakai, many people didn't pay attention to Gu Ning. When they turned around to see the driver, the car was already gone, so nobody knew that the driver was actually Gu Ning.

"Hey, Tang Jiakai!"

Tang Jiakai didn't walk far and was stopped by a female voice, which sounded a little displeased.

Tang Jiakai stopped and looked at the person who called him. It was a stunning girl, who was the most beautiful girl in their university, Zhuang Zixuan.

Nevertheless, Zhuang Zixuan seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Hi," Tang Jiakai called her but kept a distance from her.

Zhuang Zixuan walked up to him and questioned him, "Who's the girl in the car?"

Tang Jiakai was confused. How could she question him like that? It had nothing to do with her after all.

"Just my friend," Tang Jiakai said with a frown.

"What kind of friend?" Zhuang Zixuan asked again.

"Zhuang Zixuan, what's wrong with you?" Tang Jiakai lost patience.

"I…" Zhuang Zixuan was struck dumb for a second.

Tang Jiakai had chased Zhuang Zixuan before, but Zhuang Zixuan chose another handsome man in their school because she knew that the man was from a rich family in City B.

Zhuang Zixuan's family was rich too, but wasn't famous at all in City B. She was arrogant because of her family and beauty, and she believed that only rich heirs could match her.

As a result, she rejected Tang Jiakai and became the other man's girlfriend.

Because of that, Tang Jiakai clearly understood what kind of person Zhuang Zixuan was, and he lost interest in her.

Zhuang Zixuan broke up with Zhou Haoyan, which was the man's name, so she thought of Tang Jiakai now.

Despite his family background, Zhuang Zixuan liked Tang Jiakai more, because Tang Jiakai was a real gentleman.

"I've gotta go." Tang Jiakai was unwilling to waste time on Zhuang Zixuan, so he turned around and walked away without delay.

"Wait a second!" Zhuang Zixuan stopped him again.

"What?" Tang Jiakai was annoyed.

"I-I…" Zhuang Zixuan stammered.

"I'm sorry. If you don't have anything else to say to me, I really need to go now. My class is about to begin," Tang Jiakai said.

Zhuang Zixuan was anxious and blurted it out. "I just broke up with Zhou Haoyan."

Zhou Haoyan was another of the most handsome men in their university.

"I don't care." Tang Jiakai continued to walk away. He had heard of it earlier on, and he knew that Zhou Haoyan was a playboy.

Zhuang Zixuan broke up with Zhou Haoyan because she found out that he slept with another woman behind her back, and she couldn't accept it.

Actually, Zhou Haoyan had no intention to be in a serious relationship with Zhuang Zixuan for long, so he agreed to break up with her with alacrity. He only felt a little shame that their relationship didn't last longer than he thought it would, because Zhuang Zixuan was very beautiful and sexy.

Although she looked arrogant on the surface, she was totally different in bed, which greatly satisfied Zhou Haoyan.

Zhou Haoyan could easily satisfy his sexual needs without making much effort, but Zhuang Zixuan was still a virgin when he was with her.

Tang Jiakai had some friends who were also Zhou Haoyan's friends, so he heard about it from some of them.

Chapter 1194 Pan Zhiqi

Tang Jiakai took it as gossip and soon forgot it.Seeing Tang Jiakai staying so calm, Zhuang Zixuan was angry. "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

"What do you expect me to say?" Tang Jiakai sneered. "It has nothing to do with me."

Tang Jiakai wasn't dumb, and he clearly knew why Zhuang Zixuan said that to him. She simply wanted him to accept her! However, he was reluctant to do that.

He didn't mind whether his girlfriend was a virgin as long as he loved her and she was loyal to him.

In addition, the girl couldn't be the ex girlfriend of someone he knew, otherwise it would be very embarrassing.

Zhuang Zixuan obviously didn't satisfy any of the above requests. She had rejected him because she was snobbish, so she already lost the qualification to gain his affection.

Besides, she already had sex with Zhou Haoyan, who was a well-known playboy in Tang Jiakai's friend circle. Tang Jiakai only felt disgusted when seeing her face now.

"You…" Zhuang Zixuan was annoyed, and she could see that Tang Jiakai was unwilling to talk to her now. However, she didn't realize that Tang Jiakai hated her now. She thought that Tang Jiakai was still mad at her because she had rejected him before.

Therefore, Zhuang Zixuan softened her voice and said, "Jiakai, I'm sorry for what I did to you before. I know it's my fault. Could you please forgive me?" She tried to persuade Tang Jiakai to accept her.

Tang Jiakai only showed disdain on his face.

"Zhuang Zixuan, I know what you want to do, but it's impossible. I have no interest in you now, so please take me as a stranger if you see me next time," Tang Jiakai said, then walked away from Zhuang Zixuan without giving her a glance.

Zhuang Zixuan was struck dumb this time. She only rejected him three months ago. Could he give her up within just three months?

In fact, Tang Jiakai gave her up within three days. Once Tang Jiakai knew the real reason why she rejected him, he decided to give her up and felt lucky that she didn't become his girlfriend.

…

Zhuang Zixuan had a robust self-esteem. Since Tang Jiakai had made it very clear, she didn't stop him again otherwise she would humiliate herself.

She was disappointed and sad, because she really liked Tang Jiakai in her heart. However, Tang Jiakai's family background was still unknown to Zhuang Zixuan at that moment.

When Tang Jiakai was gone, an acerbic female voice interrupted Zhuang Zixuan's thought. "Your family isn't very rich in City B, so you should give up the idea of bothering Lord Tang."

Hearing that, Zhuang Zixuan turned to look at the person with confusion.

The person was a girl who was born in a super-rich family in City B and she came with another girl whose father was an important official. They were staring at Zhuang Zixuan with a mocking smile on their faces.

"Miss Pan, what do you mean?" Zhuang Zixuan asked. She wasn't in the mood to be mad at the girl, but ached to figure out why the girl said that.

Miss Pan was Pan Zhiqi, and she was from the Pan family of City B.

The Pan family was precisely Pan Zirui's family, and Pan Zhiqi was Pan Zirui's younger cousin.

Pan Zhiqi's parents passed away early on because of a car accident, so she became the Pan family's adopted daughter.

And although Pan Zhiqi was only Pan Zirui's younger cousin, she had 10% shares of the Pan family's business, which used to be her father's, so nobody dared to take her lightly.

In addition, the Pan family took Pan Zhiqi as its own daughter and treated her very well. Pan Zhiqi also called Pan Zirui's parents her father and mother.

"What do I mean? I mean the literal meaning!" Pan Zhiqi laughed at Zhuang Zixuan. "Oh, don't you know Lord Tang's family background yet? I bet you don't know it, or you wouldn't have rejected him and become Zhou Haoyan's girlfriend. Zhou Haoyan is simply a playboy and he changes girlfriends faster than he changes his t-shirt. You're lucky though that you could be his girlfriend for three months. Well, you're the most beautiful girl in our school after all and you have a great body. You must be good in bed too."

Pan Zhiqi was humiliating Zhuang Zixuan in public, but unfortunately every word she just said was true.

She wasn't familiar with Zhou Haoyan, but was a close friend of his younger cousin, so she heard about his behavior.

Girls loved gossiping when they were together.

Not many people knew that Zhuang Zixuan had rejected Tang Jiakai, but it wasn't a secret in their friend circle.

Pan Zhiqi disdained Zhuang Zixuan more than ever because Zhuang Zixuan rejected Lord Tang for Zhou Haoyan. However, she wasn't Zhuang Zixuan's friend, so she didn't tell her about Tang Jiakai's family background.

When Zhuang Zixuan broke up with Zhou Haoyan and turned to bother Tang Jiakai, she couldn't tolerate it anymore and jumped out to mock Zhuang Zixuan.

"What? Do you mean Tang Jiakai's family in the famous Tang family in City B?" Zhuang Zixuan was shocked, because in City B people only called male members of the Tang family Lord Tang.

If Tang Jiakai was really born in the famous Tang family in City B, Zhou Haoyan's family would be barely comparable to his.

Zhuang Zixuan regretted at once because she had made a stupid choice back then.

Although she couldn't believe that Tang Jiakai was really a member of the famous Tang family in City B, she realized it was highly possible now.

She didn't want to accept it, but it was the truth.

Zhuang Zixuan opened her mouth again, but couldn't utter a word because of the shock.

Chapter 1195 A Strange Man

"Guess for yourself." Pan Zhiqi wore an evil smile.Zhuang Zixuan frowned with dissatisfaction, but she couldn't criticize Pan Zhiqi, because Pan Zhiqi's family was richer than hers.

However, Zhuang Zixuan hesitated for a long while to say a word, because she was reluctant to accept the truth.

Seeing that, Pan Zhiqi said, "You know that there is only one Tang family on the list of the richest families in City B."

The only Tang family on the list was precisely Tang Jiakai's family.

Zhuang Zixuan rounded her eyes in shock, and couldn't believe her ears. It turned out that Tang Jiakai was really born in the famous Tang family in City B.

"D-Do you mean Tang Jiakai's family is the richest family in City B?" Zhuang Zixuan said but failed to compose her features.

"Yeah, Tang Jiakai is indeed a member of the famous Tang family in City B. It's said that the men in the Tang family are all loyal to their partners. What a shame that you rejected him and missed the chance to marry into the Tang family," Pan Zhiqi said, and felt satisfied seeing Zhuang Zixuan's shocked face.

Zhuang Zixuan didn't know what to say now and felt like crying.

She had rejected Lord Tang! How could she miss the great chance to marry into the famous Tang family? If she had agreed to become Tang Jiakai's girlfriend, she could have become the luckiest girl in her friend circle now.

Pan Zhiqi didn't stay to mock Zhuang Zixuan, and she left with her friend without hesitation.

…

Gu Ning was ready to go back to Huafu Hills, but suddenly received Qi Tianlin's call halfway.

Qi Tianlin hadn't contacted her in a long time, and she seldom called him too.

As the head of the Kirin Gang, Qi Tianlin was busy dealing with his own things and he didn't have time to contact Gu Ning.

"Hey, where are you now?" Qi Tianlin said in an urgent tone once Gu Ning answered his call.

Gu Ning heard and realized that it had to be something important. "I'm in City B now."

Hearing that, Qi Tianlin was relieved a little. "Come to the Earth Nightclub now. I need your help."

Qi Tianlin ordered as usual, and it didn't sound polite at all, but he didn't mean to hurt Gu Ning's feelings. Gu Ning didn't mind it either. She thought that someone was probably injured so he needed her pills.

Half an hour later, Gu Ning arrived at the Earth Nightclub. Yu Hao was waiting for her outside, because they were going somewhere hidden from other people.

"Is it an emergency?" Gu Ning asked Yu Hao.

"Yes. Miss Gu, please follow me this way," Yu Hao said.

After that, Gu Ning followed Yu Hao inside.

They went to an exclusive elevator which only Qi Tianlin and his henchmen knew the password of. This elevator could only reach two floors. One was the top floor and the other was the underground floor.

Yu Hao brought Gu Ning to the underground floor. It was a floor lower than the underground parking lot.

The elevator opened within seconds, revealing a room about 20 square-meters large with piles of sundries.

Gu Ning glanced around and saw a door.

There were people talking behind the door. Although Gu Ning couldn't hear their conversation clearly, she heard Qi Tianlin's voice.

It was obvious that Qi Tianlin was doing something that he didn't want other people to know about.

Gu Ning didn't fully trust Qi Tianlin, so she stayed alert and used her Jade Eyes to see what was behind the door.

Behind the door, there were two rooms. One was like a living room with only a sofa, a coffee table and an air conditioner. There was only a glass of water on the coffee table.

Qi Tianlin was sitting on the sofa with his bodyguard, Cheng Hua, standing behind him.

The other room was a bedroom, and there was another door between the living room and this bedroom. In the bedroom, there was just a bed, a cabinet, and an air conditioner too.

On the bed in the bedroom, a man was tied up by thick ropes. He looked to be in his early twenties, but was twitching the entire time with a pale face. His mouth was wide open and Gu Ning was shocked to see a pair of fangs in it.

The man's eyes were also strange and frightening. His eyeballs were shiny green with a weird light. His fingernails were as long as three or four centimeters, and were very sharp.

He didn't look like a human being at all, but a wolf!

Before Gu Ning couldn't think further, Yu Hao entered the password and opened the door.

The sound of the opening door attracted Qi Tianlin and Cheng Hua's attention. Qi Tianlin stood up at once. "Hi."

"Hi, is everything alright?" Gu Ning asked, pretending that she knew nothing about what was in the bedroom.

"Unfortunately no," Qi Tianlin said. "Come on, I need to show you something."

Gu Ning then followed Qi Tianlin into the bedroom, while Yu Hao and Cheng Hua were left in the living room.

Chapter 1196 A Mutan

Gu Ning walked to the bed and saw the man lying on it from a short distance.Although she already had seen him with the help of her Jade Eyes, she still pretended to be shocked. "What the hell? He has fangs, and his eyeballs were green. He's like a wolf!"

"I don't know why either. At one o'clock this morning, I went back to the Earth Nightclub from outside, but I was attacked by this man in the parking lot. He was unusually good at fighting, and it wasn't easy for the three of us to get control of him. Now he is under anesthetic, but strangely the anesthetics fail within a few minutes. We have to inject a large amount of anesthetic into his body every five minutes," Qi Tianlin said. "Because he's always in a crazy condition, I don't know how to find out why he's like this. Will your medicine be effective on him?"

"Have you done any research on the Internet?" Gu Ning asked.

"Yeah, but I only found some ridiculous answers, like he could be a werewolf, a mutant, or something like that. I don't believe those things exist in this world!" Qi Tianlin said.

Qi Tianlin only felt that those answers were ridiculous, but actually it was quite possible for those answers to be true. The man couldn't be a normal human being after all.

Gu Ning, on the contrary, believed in those unbelievable creatures. A werewolf or a mutant were merely the same.

No matter what, they had to figure out what kind of creature this man was as soon as possible for the safety of their society.

"I need to have a look first," Gu Ning said and went closer to size him up.

There were dense pinholes on the man's neck, which were obviously left by frequent injections and it made Gu Ning think of mutants.

Gu Ning had watched movies about mutants. Although it couldn't be true in other people's eyes, it could be used as a useful reference for Gu Ning.

The mutated person in the movie was a result of long-term injections of certain drugs and the blood of a certain murderous animal, who then slowly mutated in a special radiation environment for a long time. After the mutation was successful, the appearance of the person would have the features of that animal.

Moreover, the mutants not only surpassed ordinary people in physical strength, but also in self-healing ability, because their bodies would form a cuticle under the pustule on the skin after radiation, which greatly increased its defense ability. Even if they were injured, they would soon recover.

However, their brains were also damaged by radiation, so their IQ wasn't high and they felt no pain at all. They weren't afraid of death, and only knew to obey commands.

These hadn't been confirmed yet, and they were all guesses, so Gu Ning needed further verification to determine them.

She then took out a snickersnee[1] from her backpack. Qi Tianlin didn't feel strange at all when she did that. Gu Ning had a gun with her, so it wasn't surprising that she had a snickersnee too.

The next second, Gu Ning cut the man's arm with it and gray-black blood flowed out at once.

Nevertheless, within 10 seconds, the blood stopped flowing and the wound healed quickly, which was even faster than what Gu Ning's magical power could do.

Gu Ning was sure now that this man was a mutant.

Although she believed in those unusual creatures, she was still astonished when she saw it in real life. She had a feeling that this world was getting increasingly dangerous.

Qi Tianlin, however, rounded his eyes in shock. "What?"

"Maybe it's hard for you to believe it, but I still need to tell you that this man is a mutant," Gu Ning said with a serious expression.

Qi Tianlin already saw this mutant, so it was impossible to hide this secret from him.

"Seriously?"

Qi Tianlin couldn't believe his ears. He was shocked that mutants really existed.

"Are you sure?" Qi Tianlin asked. "Why do you think he's a mutant?"

"Mutants are different from ordinary human beings, and they're better than us in both physical strength and self-healing ability. I just cut his skin deeply, but it healed within seconds," Gu Ning said. "Well, if you doubt that, I don't know what else I can say."

Qi Tianlin still thought that it was unbelievable, but he chose to trust Gu Ning.

"I'm surprised that mutants really exist," he said.

"There are all kinds of creatures in this world, and you'll probably meet more of them in the future," Gu Ning said.

All of a sudden, Qi Tianlin thought of something and asked Gu Ning, "Have you always believed in such creatures? Why aren't you surprised at all?"

"If I tell you that I've met ghosts before, will you believe it?" Gu Ning asked Qi Tianlin, half joking.

Even though Gu Ning was half joking, Qi Tianlin felt that she meant it and his body stiffened a little.

He had never seen ghosts before.

"Well, I didn't believe it, and would have thought that it was ridiculous if someone told me that, but now I think I should change my mind," Qi Tianlin said.

Qi Tianlin still had doubts, but tended to believe that it was possible that ghosts and monsters really existed in this world.

"What should we do now?" he asked later.

They had to figure out a good way to deal with this mutant. Qi Tianlin had no idea what they should do, so he could only ask Gu Ning.

The moment Qi Tianlin finished that, the mutant suddenly broke all the ropes and the anesthetic wasn't working, so he got his strength back. The next second, the mutant jumped up and attacked Qi Tianlin without delay.

It was obvious that his target was Qi Tianlin.

No wonder he appeared out of the blue and attacked Qi Tianlin in the underground parking lot.

[1] A snickersnee is a large knife, designed for use as a thrusting and cutting weapon.

Chapter 1197 Kill the Mutan

Before the mutant could touch Qi Tianlin, Gu Ning stopped him and began to fight against him.Because Qi Tianlin was no match for the mutant, there was no need for him to fight against the mutant. It would be a total waste of time.

"Go out now and close the door. Nobody can enter this room without my permission!" Gu Ning shouted to Qi Tianlin.

Hearing that, Qi Tianlin was surprised and said, "No, I can't leave you alone here. It's too dangerous."

Although he knew that Gu Ning was good at martial arts and that she was better than him, he thought that the mutant was unusually aggressive.

"It's fine. I can handle him, but I need to do it alone," Gu Ning said.

Qi Tianlin remained silent for a while, then agreed. "Fine, but you must come out safely."

"I will," Gu Ning said with confidence.

After that, Qi Tianlin had a long glance at Gu Ning before he walked out and closed the door.

Yu Hao and Cheng Hua heard the noises of fighting from the room when Qi Tianlin walked out, and they were confused. "Qi, is Miss Gu…"

"The anesthetic lost efficacy, and Gu Ning said that she could handle him alone," Qi Tianlin said worriedly.

Qi Tianlin didn't tell them that the man was a mutant, because it was too strange and he didn't know how to say it. In addition, the fewer people who knew about it, the better it would be.

…

In the bedroom, Gu Ning let the jiao out once Qi Tianlin was gone, and told the jiao to deal with the mutant.

The sudden appearance of the jiao didn't surprise the mutant at all. He wore an expressionless face the entire time. His brain was already damaged, so he only knew to attack and wasn't afraid of anything.

"Control it first." Gu Ning gave an order to the jiao.

Without delay, the jiao attacked the mutant.

The jiao was very strong, but the mutant also had great defensive capability, so it wasn't easy for the jiao to control the mutant within a short time.

However, it was harder for the mutant to hurt the jiao, because their fighting skills were at totally different levels. After all, the jiao was a monster with over a thousand year of firm inner discipline.

The mutant, however, mutated from an ordinary human being, and Qi Tianlin along with his two bodyguards could control it by working together.

After two minutes, the jiao wrapped the mutant with its body, and the mutant couldn't move at all.

"Do you know how to eliminate him?" Gu Ning asked the jiao.

"He doesn't have Yin, or inner discipline, but is quite aggressive and good at healing himself. He isn't a normal person, so I don't know how to eliminate him either," the jiao said.

The jiao didn't belong to this world, so it had no idea how to deal with a mutant. Besides, mutants were rare and strange. It couldn't be easily eliminated.

Afterwards, Gu Ning told the jiao how the mutant came into being.

"Well, in that case, I can only remove all his blood from his body, but it can be very difficult given his unbelievable self-healing ability," the jiao said. It wasn't sure whether this way could work, but it was the only way it could think of right now.

"Alright, have a try!" Gu Ning said.

The jiao bit the mutant's neck, then began to suck his blood.

It indeed took a lot of effort to remove all the mutant's blood, because his blood never stopped flowing, and he only looked a little pale after over 10 minutes.

As the blood was gradually sucked out by the jiao, the mutant's face became increasingly pale. However, it was still hard to remove all his blood.

About half an hour later, two thirds of the mutant's blood was removed and the mutant lost the ability to fight back.

Qi Tianlin was anxious when Gu Ning had stayed in the bedroom for a long time. He was afraid that she might be injured.

However, whether he wanted to go inside to have a look or not, he couldn't get inside, because Gu Ning locked the door from the inside in case Qi Tianlin saw the jiao.

Luckily, another 10 minutes later, the jiao sucked all the mutant's blood, and the mutant let out its last breath.

"Oh, my, it was really hard to remove all his blood." The jiao complained.

"Thank you so much, but I still need to put you into my telepathic eye space now. I'll let you enjoy yourself in the river in a few days," Gu Ning said to comfort it.

"Great!" The jiao was cheered up.

After that, Gu Ning put it back into the telepathic eye space before she went to open the door.

Qi Tianlin heard the sound of opening a door and stopped at once outside. He focused on the door and held his breath.

"Are you alright?" He asked Gu Ning in a hurry the moment Gu Ning showed up.

"Yeah, I'm fine, and the man is dead," Gu Ning said.

"Are you sure you're fine?" Qi Tianlin asked Gu Ning again.

Gu Ning understood that Qi Tianlin was worried about her, so she said again, "I'm really fine, and you don't need to worry about me. Look at my face. I'm fine and safe."

Chapter 1198 A Man Follows Gu Ning

Qi Tianlin felt relieved and smiled. He remembered that Gu Ning had her magical pills so she should be fine."Oh, I'll leave the mutant to you, but this mutant was controlled by someone else, and the controller must be somewhere nearby or right in the Earth Nightclub. I'm going to City F in two days, so you must take care of yourself," Gu Ning said.

Nobody knew whether there was another mutant so Qi Tianlin's life was still in danger.

"Thanks, I will," Qi Tianlin said. He wasn't sure whether he was able to defeat another mutant.

Even though he could tie the mutant up for a while, it was troublesome if the mutant stayed beside him. Since the mutant came to kill him but failed, it was very likely that he was still the target.

Qi Tianlin didn't know who the mastermind behind this was, because he had too many enemies. Countless people had tried to murder him before, but this was the first time that he had been attacked by a mutant.

Anyway, a mutant was indeed much stronger than a normal killer.

"How about you? Will you be safe after you helped me out this time?" Qi Tianlin asked all of a sudden. If Gu Ning's life was in danger because of him, he would feel guilty.

It wasn't easy to make Qi Tianlin feel guilty, but he was truly worried about Gu Ning.

"It's fine, I can handle it and protect myself well," Gu Ning said.

With the help of the jiao, Gu Ning had nothing to be worried about. Even if she didn't have the jiao's help, she wasn't weak either.

Qi Tianlin nodded, then dropped this topic.

"Why don't we dine together this afternoon?" Qi Tianlin said.

"Thanks, but I need to deal with something else today," Gu Ning said.

"Alright." Qi Tianlin was a little disappointed, but didn't insist. He knew that Gu Ning was very busy.

After that, Qi Tianlin told Yu Hao to walk Gu Ning outside.

…

Once they walked out of the elevator, Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to glance around to see whether she could find anyone who could be guilty. However, she found nobody who could be guilty till she drove away.

Although she failed to do that, she didn't think that the controller of the mutant didn't exist.

Since the person could control a mutant, he couldn't be simple at all. In addition, the person probably hid himself away very well so that Gu Ning couldn't find him.

No matter what, Gu Ning believed that she had to be more careful from now on.

In fact, the controller of the mutant had already watched Gu Ning walking into the Earth Nightclub, and he also had noticed Yu Hao who was Qi Tianlin's bodyguard. He knew that Yu Hao waited outside for Gu Ning. Therefore, it was obvious that Gu Ning came here for the mutant.

Nevertheless, he didn't think that they would know how to handle the mutant, because a mutant was beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Although the mutant was under the control of Qi Tianlin now, he believed that the mutant would be fine because the mutant was unbelievably strong.

The controller of the mutant simply wanted the mutant to listen to his orders, so he actually didn't know that the mutant was already dead.

…

When Gu Ning was gone, Qi Tianlin left the underground floor to the top floor.

They needed to deal with the mutant's body, but not right now. They could only do it at night.

Even though he was the head of an illegal gang and he had killed many people before, this club wasn't his place, so he had to be more cautious.

…

Shortly after Gu Ning left the club, she noticed that someone was following her.

When the traffic lights were red, Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to see who was in the car behind hers.

There was only a man, who was the driver. He was about 30 and looked handsome.

Since the person came for her, Gu Ning decided to meet him. She checked the map and found a relatively remote place.

After driving for a long while, Gu Ning reached the side of a river. She parked the car properly and got out of it. She pretended to be in a bad mood and went to have a walk along the river.

The man also stopped his car not far from Gu Ning's, then he walked straight towards Gu Ning.

"Hey, beauty, are you having a walk alone here?" The man struck up a conversation with Gu Ning. It seemed like he was kind and had no intention to hurt Gu Ning. However, Gu Ning sensed something different from his eyes, and she knew it was a complete act.

"Yeah," Gu Ning said and didn't pay much attention to him.

"Can we chat for a while?" the man asked all of a sudden.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Gu Ning asked.

"Well, actually you noticed me following you early on, right?" the man said.

Gu Ning was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that the man would say that.

Since the man wasn't dumb, Gu Ning stopped pretending and put on a cold face. "Why are you following me?"

"I want to make a deal with you," the man said.

"What is it?" Gu Ning asked.

"Um…" The man opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. Instead, he suddenly attacked Gu Ning and wanted to knock her unconscious.

Gu Ning was alert, so she defended herself at once and began to fight against the man.

The man didn't seem surprised at all when Gu Ning fought back, but he was excited.

The man wasn't weak but Gu Ning still got control of the fight very soon and easily locked the man tight so that he couldn't move. The man was astonished by Gu Ning's skills, but he looked pleased at the same time.

Gu Ning didn't miss his expressions, and felt confused. She didn't understand why the man still seemed kind to her after following her and attacking her.

"Tell me, who sent you?" Gu Ning coldly asked.

"Miss Gu, I have no intention to hurt you. I just read a lot of news about you and I know you're excellent at martial arts, so I simply want to have a competition with you for fun," the man said.

He sounded sincere, but Gu Ning didn't believe him.

Because Gu Ning thought that he had something to do with the controller of the mutant, she was unwilling to let him go.

She wasn't afraid of the mastermind directly coming to her, but she was worried that her family or friends might be threatened.

"For fun? I don't think so," Gu Ning sneered.

The man felt slightly embarrassed. In fact, he attacked Gu Ning of his own accord just to have a game with her, and he indeed had no intention to hurt her.

He saw Gu Ning in the Earth Nightclub just then and he recognized her, so he followed her.

"Miss Gu, I'm terribly sorry. It's my fault but please trust me. I really have no intention to hurt you, and I actually need your help," the man said with sincerity again.

Although Gu Ning still stayed suspicious, she gave him a chance after seeing his sincere attitude. She let him go later but fixed her eyes on him, in case he ran away.

The man stretched his arms and hands to relax his muscles, then said to Gu Ning with a serious face, "Miss Gu, please allow me to introduce myself first. My name's Li Zhongwei, and I'm a member of the SWAT team of City B."

Saying that, he quickly took out his certificate from his inside pocket and handed it to Gu Ning.

Gu Ning checked it, and it said that he was a team leader. However, she wasn't sure whether the certificate was real or not.

"Is it real?" Gu Ning asked.

Li Zhongwei replied seriously, "Of course it is. It's illegal for me to make this up."

Gu Ning nodded, and decided to trust Li Zhongwei.

"What do you want me to help you with?" Gu Ning asked him.

Li Zhongwei said, "Our team is in the middle of a very important task, but we need a female to sneak into the enemy camp and get close to the enemy. This female must be extremely powerful, or else it'll be very dangerous. There are female SWAT members in our team, but they couldn't even beat me, so I am worried that they can't complete the task. After all, our opponents are very strong. I saw you in the Earth Nightclub by chance, and I think that maybe you can help because I've heard a lot about what you've done before. Well, it is the best if you're willing to help us, but we won't force you to do so. It's very dangerous after all."

Li Zhongwei believed that only Gu Ning could help them right now.

…

Gu Ning knew that it had to be an emergency, and they did their job to protect this country and its people, so she didn't have the heart to turn him down.

"May I know why you need a female to approach your target?" Gu Ning asked.

Li Zhongwei hesitated for a short while, then said, "Because the person we are going to catch will hold a private drug party on a cruise, but only those who receive the invitation letter can enter it. It isn't allowed for any guest to bring extra people into it. Luckily, they asked for 10 prostitutes from a certain club to accompany them, so we can send an undercover agent to join them. We simply want the undercover agent to control our target. There is no need for her to kill him, she just needs to threaten him to sail back to the shore so that we can take further action."

Li Zhongwei told Gu Ning everything, but he wasn't worried that Gu Ning would leak the information. Gu Ning was a girl who had a strong sense of justice, so he chose to believe her.

Anyway, he needed her help.

I"m Willing to Help

"Well, aren't you afraid that I'll leak this important information?" Gu Ning asked.

"Miss Gu, I trust you, and I don't think that you're a bad person. By the way, you better not leak any information about this important task, or you'll be arrested by the police. No matter how powerful you are, you would probably have to spend the rest of your life in jail," Li Zhongwei said.

"What if I fail to finish this task?" Gu Ning asked. She didn't mind Li Zhongwei's threat.

"Miss Gu, I need to be honest with you about it. If you fail, it won't cause great damage to us, but your life might be in great danger, so I hope that you can carefully think about it before you make your decision," Li Zhongwei said. "We don't want you to be hurt."

"No problem, I'm willing to help," Gu Ning said without hesitation. She didn't bother to think about it because she thought that this task was meaningful to their country.

If Li Zhongwei forced her to do it, Gu Ning wouldn't agree, but she was more than willing to help since he cared about her life too.

"Really?" Li Zhongwei's eyes lit up at once. "Thank you so much, Miss Gu!"

"You don't need to thank me. I'm willing to do something that is helpful to our country," Gu Ning said.

Action spoke louder than words.

Li Zhongwei admired Gu Ning more than ever now.

"Oh, Miss Gu, are you free this afternoon? Can we share a meal together?" Li Zhongwei said.

"Sure!" Gu Ning understood that Li Zhongwei was going to bring her to meet his teammates, so she agreed.

It was past 4 pm now, and it was almost time for dinner.

…

Afterwards, Gu Ning drove her car and followed Li Zhongwei.

They were going to meet the SWAT team, and wouldn't go to the wharf until 7 pm that night.

When it was about 5:30 pm, Gu Ning and Li Zhongwei arrived.

They normally got off work after 6 pm, so Li Zhongwei's teammates were still at work.

They didn't need to sit in the office all day, and they could walk around in the yard if there was nothing to deal with. Therefore, at this time, there were many people chatting in the yard.

The second a white Lamborghini drove into the yard, it attracted a lot of attention from the people in the yard.

The next second, a black Land Rover, which was Li Zhongwei's car, drove in too.

They got curious and walked to the Lamborghini.

When Gu Ning got out of it, they were amazed by her beauty and greeted her at once, "Hi, beauty!"

"Nice to meet you!" Gu Ning smiled at them.

"Hey, what's your name?" someone asked Gu Ning.

"My name's Gu Ning," Gu Ning said.

"Gu Ning? It sounds familiar," SWAT A said.

"I think it sounds familiar too, but I can't remember where I've heard it before," SWAT B said.

"…"

Many of them were familiar with Gu Ning's name.

"That's such an ancient pick-up line!" SWAT C mocked them.

"Ha-ha, ha-ha," SWAT D laughed out loud.

"I mean it!" SWAT argued.

"Fine, fine, I believe you," SWAT C said.

"What? Do you want a fight?" SWAT A was annoyed.

They were used to joking and playing with each other like that, and they practiced their fighting skills frequently in this way. They weren't really going to beat one another.

"Ignore them. Let's go inside now," Li Zhongwei said to Gu Ning.

Although they wanted to talk more with Gu Ning, they knew that Gu Ning came there for something serious, so they didn't stop her.

"Gu Ning, Gu Ning."

After Gu Ning and Li Zhongwei were gone, SWAT A was still repeating Gu Ning's name trying to remember something.

"Hey, Qin, what are you mumbling? Are you too amazed by the beautiful girl?" SWAT D hit SWAT A's shoulder all of a sudden.

SWAT A was scared and raised his head.

"I'm not!" He argued.

"I need to check her name on the Internet," SWAT B said. He also wanted to figure out why he thought Gu Ning's name sounded familiar.

The others were confused by their reaction. They thought that maybe Gu Ning was a famous person.

"Oh, no wonder her name sounds so familiar!" SWAT B suddenly shouted with excitement.

"It's her!" he said after reading several pieces of news about Gu Ning.

Other people were surprised by SWAT B's reaction. They ran to have a look at his phone, but SWAT A grabbed it away.
