Chapter 307: Check On Lin Shuang
“Are you going for a month?” Lu Chengzhou’s tone was low and it was hard to tell what kind of expression he had on his face.
“Ah,” Gu Mang uttered nonchalantly. “I might come back earlier or later.”
There was silence for a few seconds and neither of them spoke.
After awhile, Lu Chengzhou exhaled a puff of smoke and repeated in a low voice, “I’ll see you off tonight.”
Hearing that, Gu Mang squinted. “Tsk,” she said slowly. “Sure, I will let Lin Shuang know that you will be sending me to the airport.”
…
After Lu Chengzhou hung up, he went to the lab and turned on his computer. Then, he keyed in a special code. He took a step back and leaned on the lab table lazily with one hand supporting himself.
The door to the lab suddenly opened. He Yidu and Qin Fang entered.
Qin Fang sounded rather excited. “Brother Cheng, the results from the mock test are out.”
Lu Qi’s cold, gentle, and beautiful face appeared on the screen.
Lu Qi looked at Lu Chengzhou and bowed respectfully. “Young Master Lu.”
His voice was very rough. It did not match his delicate face that resembled that of Lin Daiyu. He Yidu and Qin Fang were rather surprised to hear Lu Qi’s voice.
Their big boss cared nothing about whatever that happened in Country K. Lu Qi was like someone who was banished to the borders. Whenever he was free, he would complain to Qin Fang and talk about how he wanted to return.
Why would he be video calling Lu Qi suddenly? He Yidu and Qin Fang were silent.
Lu Chengzhou answered nonchalantly. The ends of his eyes were squiggly and deep. Compared to the last time Lu Qi saw him, he no longer seemed so indifferent.
His voice was still cold and calm. “Someone is heading to Country K tonight. Follow her.”
Lu Qi did not understand what he was saying so he asked as he looked at Lu Chengzhou, “Do you want me to guard this person?”
Who was this person? Why was Lu Chengzhou calling him personally about this matter?
“Guard her.” Lu Chengzhou almost mumbled the words. Then, he laughed lightly and said slowly, “Just clear the path for her and don’t let anyone disrupt her.”
She did not need to be guarded.
Lu Qi was even more confused but as usual, he followed the order and nodded slightly. “Got it.”
After hanging up, Lu Chengzhou pushed a few keys on his keyboard and sent some basic information about Gu Mang to him.
“Lu Qi is not as dependable as Lu San. He is more suitable to follow Gu Mang,” Lu Chengzhou uttered to himself.
It did not take He Yidu much time to guess who was going to Country K. “Brother Cheng, Lu San has a lot of matters to handle. He cannot leave.”
“Yeah, Brother Cheng. If Gu Mang is going to Country K, Lu Qi is enough.” Qin Fang added.
Lu Chengzhou did not speak. After a while, he asked. “Who is Lin Shuang? Have you done a thorough investigation on her?”
Since he met Lin Shuang two nights ago, He Yidu had been checking on her. Lin Shuang’s information was very clean as if she had already prepared a set of false documents beforehand.
There were only two possibilities. One, Lin Shuang was really such a clean person. Two, Lin Shuang’s information had been cleared before and only the basic information was left behind.
Would Gu Mang’s friend be of the first kind? He Yidu reported it all to Lu Chengzhou.
The man tapped his fingers on the table. “You do not have to continue the search.”
“Huh?” Qin Fang raised his pitch. “Brother Cheng, this Lin Shuang is not a simple person. Her relationship with Gu Mang goes back quite a while. What if she has some bad intentions?”
Lu Chengzhou looked at him and Qin Fang kept quiet.
…
Class ended in the late afternoon.
Gu Mang and Meng Jinyang returned to the dormitory together.
Meng Jinyang watched as Gu Mang changed out of her school uniform and put a bunch of weird things into her bag. Then, she slung her black backpack over a shoulder.
“Call me if there’s anything.” Gu Mang grabbed her baseball cap and looked at Meng Jinyang.
