"Also, there's something about Miaoyuan that I'll talk to you about later..."
Lu Ming stopped speaking at this point.
He was waiting for Gu Ling to follow him like she used to and apologize to Miaoyuan!
But he never expected Gu Ling to do something in front of him that he could never imagine.
The woman in front of him moved extremely fast!
Her speed was so quick that before he could even see her movements clearly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
The impact sent him flying several meters away.
"Who do you think you're ordering around?"
Amidst the pain, Gu Ling walked over calmly, looking down at him with a proud expression.
As she spoke, she kicked him hard.
"Look carefully! The old Gu Ling who loved you to death is gone!"
"I'm not her anymore!"
"What makes you think you have the right to boss me around?"
"You b*tch!" Lu Ming blocked her attack twice and was about to fight back.
But the next moment.
Before he could react, he was hit hard in the chest again.
Her speed was so fast that he couldn't even defend himself!
This time, Lu Ming was hit so hard that he vomited blood, splattering a large area in front of him and staining the clean ground red.
"If you can't speak properly, why even keep that mouth of yours?" Gu Ling squinted her eyes, as if asking his opinion.
But in reality.
She was giving a warning!
At this moment.
Lu Ming looked at Gu Ling, the "useless" woman in front of him, and for the first time, he found her unfamiliar and terrifying!
"I'll say this one more time. This marriage will definitely end in divorce, but not now!"
"If you don't want to die, stop coming to bother me!"
"Do you understand?"
Lu Ming clutched his stomach, coughing heavily a few times.
He was just a company CEO with thousands of subordinates, but he had never learned martial arts.
And Gu Ling.
She had come from a martial arts school, yet she used to be so weak...
Now, Lu Ming just thought that Gu Ling had suddenly gained some unknown strength.
But he was sure.
It was just a trick!
Even so, Lu Ming still nodded.
Under Gu Ling's silent command of "get lost," he was the first to lose to this woman and left in embarrassment...
"The future is long, Gu Ling. I want to see if you've really changed."
"If you're just pretending—"
"I'll make sure to kill you!"

Two days passed in a flash, and soon it was the day of the interview.
Gu Ling was holding her invitation and preparing to leave, but when she went downstairs, she saw Father Gu limping through the front door.
Father Gu was wearing a suit, but it was covered in dirt, mud, and bloodstains.
His face was swollen and bruised, clearly, he had been beaten badly.
Gu Ling sneered.
She hadn't planned to pay attention to him.
But before she could take two steps, her father blocked her path.
"What's with that attitude?" Father Gu shouted. "Is this how you treat your own father?"
Gu Ling stopped but didn't turn around.
"A waste is always a waste! You're always embarrassing our family!"
"You can't even compare to one percent of your sister!"
"So what?" Gu Ling listened to his angry rant and just sneered coldly.
"You got beaten up outside, and since you're weaker than others, you came home to take it out on your own daughter?"
"I don't think even your 'genius daughter' can help you, tsk."
"You! How dare you talk back?!" Father Gu grew even angrier.
"Why wouldn't I?" Gu Ling's tone suddenly turned icy.
Her ancient, deep-set eyes were calm and still, as if covered in a thin layer of ice.
"It's a pity the person who beat you up wasn't strong enough."
"Otherwise, you'd already be in the hospital by now."
With that, Gu Ling ignored him and walked out.

At the interview site.
Elite Academy was located in the busiest part of Yunhai City. It was as large as three regular universities combined.
When Gu Ling arrived, the interviews had just begun, and the place was packed with people.
When it was her turn, she handed her interview ticket to the staff.
After checking it, the interviewer looked up and said, "Now you can choose your subjects for the interview."
"These are the required courses for Elite Academy. You can pick one of them."
As he spoke, he pushed a form toward Gu Ling.
Gu Ling glanced at it. There were more than ten subjects listed.
There were major fields like martial arts, medical skills, hacking, and more.
Then, within those, there were subcategories,
For example, martial arts included boxing, staff techniques, combat, Sanda, Taekwondo, and physical training.
Medical skills had divisions like pharmacology and acupuncture.
It was a dazzling array of choices.
The interviewer saw Gu Ling staying silent for a while and assumed she was overwhelmed by the options.
So, he kindly reminded her, "If you think you can handle it, you can choose two subjects."
"It will be more challenging, but the more effort you put in, the more you'll gain. The more subjects you take, the better your chances of being selected internationally in the future."
"Miss, have you made your decision?"
Most applicants only chose one subject.
Because,
They didn't have the time or ability to handle more.
Those who chose two subjects were already the elites of the elites!
And those who could pick three or four and pass.
They were guaranteed to be selected internationally! Their future would be full of endless glory and opportunities!
The interviewer assumed Gu Ling would only pick one.
After all, she didn't seem particularly strong.
But then.
The next second!
The words that came out of Gu Ling's mouth,
Made the interviewer sit back in shock—
"I'll choose them all!"
