At the dessert stall near the West gate of Capital University.
Gu Mang and Elder Bai sat on the deck in front of the French windows on the second floor. Elder Bai glanced at the cheap coffee in front of him and then at the cheap bubble tea in front of Gu Mang.
The young lady should be quite rich. Why would she come to this kind of shop? His thoughts went back and forth several times, before he came to a conclusion. Seems like supporting her brother uses up a lot of money.
She could not even bear to spend money on herself. Who knows what method she used to send her brother to Red Flame.
And how much she spent.
Gu Mang crossed her legs and looked up. In a cold and calm voice, she asked, "Why are you here at the capital?"
Elder Bai came back to his senses and answered respectfully, "Yesterday, I had a business deal at No. 14 Research Center in Ming City. I saw news on the internet that night and was worried that the Bi family would make things difficult for you, so I came to the capital. I didn’t think that you would resolve the situation before I got off the plane."
Even Master Bi had lost face and returned to Jijing Island.
She lifted an eyebrow at that.
Her phone vibrated suddenly. She picked it up and glanced at the unread message. Then she casually replied.
Elder Bai had a very high status on Jijing Island. At this moment, as he sat opposite Gu Mang, he felt a little restrained and his breathing lightened. He hadn’t seen the young lady before him in a few years. Now, whenever she glanced at him, he dared not breathe too hard.
There was silence for a minute and Elder Bai thought for some time before he asking, "Miss, how is Gu Si now?"
Gu Mang propped her face up with her hand and answered indifferently, "Pretty good."
Elder Bai nodded, remained silent for a second, and lowered his head to report, "Mr. Huo has been on Mingyu Island this whole time. He made his requests at the Elder’s Meeting. If he cannot take Gu Si back, he will do something to you..."
Gu Mang looked up. Elder Bai met with her deep, dark eyes. A chill ran down his spine.
After a while, Gu Mang smiled and tapped on her face.
"Is he threatening me?"
"You know how the Elder’s Meeting is. Not to mention your medicine..." Elder Bai was a little worried. "Was Yu Zhongjing’s experiment unsuccessful?"
The smile at the corner of Gu Mang’s mouth vanished and her delicate eyebrows revealed a bit of ruthlessness. Elder Bai knew what had happened by her silence.
