Chapter 221: Accident at the Construction Site II

Seconds later, people around them finally realized that an accident had happened, and everyone gathered around.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

"Exactly! What are you doing?

People questioned Gu Ning continuously, but Gu Ning immediately snapped at them, "Shut your mouths, and call the ambulance right now!"

Hearing that, someone immediately took out his phone, calling the ambulance.

The construction worker's ribs were broken, his internal organs were all damaged, and his right leg was broken too. He would be dead in a normal situation, but Gu Ning's power soon cured his injuries.

Although it cost Gu Ning a lot of power, it was an emergency and the construction worker was her own employee. Gu Ning naturally couldn't do nothing. Moreover, if anyone died at the construction site and the news went aboard, the reputation of the company would be affected and the feng shui of its buildings would be in doubt.

Gu Ning didn't cure the employee completely, but only prevented him from dying. If he wasn't injured at all or just slightly damaged after falling from such a high level, it would be strange.

The construction worker was surprised to find out that he was still alive after he woke up, and there was a touch of disappointment and unwillingness that flashed through his eyes.

He's disappointed and unwilling to be alive? Gu Ning noticed his unusual reactions. Apparently, it wasn't an accident, but more like a scheme. The question was why?

Gu Ning didn't have time to think about that right now, and she called An Guangyao without delay.

"Boss, what's up?" An Guangyao asked like usual. He obviously had no idea about what had just happened at the construction site.

"Uncle An, an accident happened at our construction site. A worker fell from a high level, and he's injured. Come over right now," Gu Ning said.

"What? Sure, I'll be right there," An Guangyao stood up from his chair in shock. He didn't have time to ask how Gu Ning found out about it, and told his secretary to arrange a car and to inform the construction director.

An Guangyao didn't receive the report of the accident until he was about to leave the company.

Because a worker at the construction site needed to tell the security room first, and a security guard then called the company, then a worker in the company reported this bad news to the management. After all that, An Guangyao was finally able to hear about it.

The ambulance arrived earlier than An Guangyao and the others. A doctor checked the injured worker for a short time, then took him to the hospital.

Gu Ning told a leader at the construction site to go with the doctor, then called An Guangyao telling him to head to the hospital, and she drove the car, heading to the hospital too.

An Guangyao ordered the construction director to investigate this accident at the site, and he went straight to the hospital. They arrived at the hospital and needed to register first.

The manager of Shenghua Real Estate hadn't arrived yet, so Gu Ning had to handle everything in the hospital. An Guangyao arrived soon after. His secretary went to take care of the injured construction worker, and he went to have a discussion with Gu Ning.

"Boss, how did you know that there was going to be an accident at the construction site?" An Guangyao asked with curiosity.

"I had a dream when I was having my break at noon. I dreamt that someone fell from a high building. Although it sounds strange, my dreams and senses are always accurate. Thus I went to check on it myself. Unexpectedly, the accident truly happened," Gu Ning lied with a serious expression.

An Guangyao still believed Gu Ning's explanation without any doubt. Gu Ning was able to win at stone gambling easily, so she had to be an extraordinary human being.

"Boss, I can handle it here. Please go back to you school now," An Guangyao then realized that Gu Ning still had classes to attend.

"It's no big deal," Gu Ning replied. She decided to find out the real reason why the worker fell.

An Guangyao didn't insist then.

Before long, the examination report of the injured worker was out. One of his ribs were broken, his internal organs were slightly damaged, and his right leg was broken too. Fortunately, his injuries weren't severe, and his life was saved. After that, he had to have surgery and stay in the hospital for a few days.

Gu Ning told An Guangyao to arrange a common separate ward for the injured worker, and An Guangyao agreed.

There were common separate wards and VIP separate wards, but even a normal separate ward was much better than a ward shared by many patients.

Gu Ning then made a round in the separate ward. She set a bug at the bedside and a hidden camera under the TV before she left.

When Gu Ning went back to her school, their classes were already over. Gu Ning didn't walk inside, but sent a message to Hao Ran. She was waiting for him at a nearby parking lot.

It wasn't convenient that she didn't have a car, but Gu Ning planned to buy one after she entered college in the capital.

Gu Ning was wearing Bluetooth earphones since she left the hospital. The earphones were connected to the bug in the separate ward, but she hadn't heard anything useful yet.

When Hao Ran and others walked out, Gu Ning gave the car back to Hao Ran, and she ran back to Fenghua Luxury Mansion afterwards. On the way, Gu Ning received a message from a delivery company. Her parcel had already been put into a storage locker on the first floor. Zhou Zhenghong sent the parcel to her.

The jade pendant that Gu Ning had ordered was in the parcel.

Tomorrow was Chu Peihan's birthday, and this jade pendant was her birthday gift.

A gift which was worth hundreds of thousands of yuan was delivered by a common delivery company. And Gu Ning really didn't worry about its safety.

Gu Ning collected the parcel when she got home, and she sent a message to Zhou Zhenghong telling him that it arrived safely. She then took out her laptop from the telepathic eye space in her room, and opened the video being sent from the hidden camera. Everything looked fine.

The injured construction worker was called Wang Mao. His family came to visit him and got the compensation from Shenghua Real Estate.

That such a terrible accident had happened at the construction site scared some of the workers, but the company promised to find out the real reason and keep them safe, so they quickly calmed down.

Around 8 pm, Wang Mao's wife left the ward to buy food for him. Wang Mao was alone in the ward now. He took out his phone, calling someone.

"Hi, it's Wang Mao. I've done what you asked, but I'm still alive," Wang Mao said.

Hearing that, Gu Ning squinted. The real troublemaker finally appeared. It was obvious that Wang Mao fell from a high level on purpose, but who was behind this?

"You trash! Since you failed, I won't give you the rest of the hundred and fifty thousand yuan. You can take the fifty thousand yuan deposit as your administration fee, but don't ever betray me. Otherwise, your whole family will be killed," the other man threatened.

Chapter 222: Trouble at the Construction Site

It was quiet in the patient room, and Gu Ning had acute hearing, so she heard their talk clearly.

“Fine.” Wang Mao was disappointed, but didn’t dare to resist, because he was only an ordinary man. Although he didn’t know the other man’s identity, he understood that the man could easily kill his family since the man had offered him two hundred thousand yuan to ruin the reputation of Shenghua Real Estate.

The hidden camera set by Gu Ning was right behind Wang Mao. She did so in order to see the screen of his phone.

Gu Ning immediately checked the caller’s number. The number was from City G.

City G?

The first idea that appeared in Gu Ning’s mind was Hongyun Real Estate, because she had just grabbed a profitable deal from them.

Gu Ning had thought that Hongyun Real Estate would do something to Zhengyang Street. Unexpectedly, they couldn’t wait and took action in City F now.

Although she didn’t have solid proof, Gu Ning was sure that Hongyun Real Estate was behind this scheme. She planned to collect evidence first.

Since Shenghua Real Estate and Hongyun Real Estate were enemies now, she made up her mind to beat Hongyun Real Estate down.

Gu Ning then called An Guangyao.

“Uncle An, is it convenient for you now? I have something important to discuss with you,” Gu Ning said.

“Sure, please,” An Guangyao replied.

“It wasn’t because of an accident but because of a scheme that Wang Mao fell from the building,” Gu Ning added.

“What? A scheme?” An Guangyao was astonished.

“Yes. He looked disappointed when he found out that he was still alive, which was an abnormal reaction. Thus I set up a bug and a hidden camera in his ward, and I heard his conversation with another man on the phone. He said that he had done what he was told to, but failed,” Gu Ning said.

An Guangyao took a long breath in. He was surprised by Gu Ning’s acute senses. An Guangyao then realized why Gu Ning asked him to arrange a separate ward for Wang Mao. It was convenient for her to keep an eye on him, and it also gave him a chance to expose himself.

Meanwhile, An Guangyao felt a little embarrassed. If Gu Ning hadn’t told him, he would have thought that it was a normal accident.

Gu Ning continued. “The location of his caller’s number is City G, so I think that Hongyun Real Estate has to behind it.”

“Hongyun Real Estate? How dare they do that in City F!” An Guangyao was mad. He also understood that Hongyun Real Estate wouldn’t give up on Zhengyang Street, but to his surprise, they couldn’t wait and attacked them right in City F.

“What should we do next?” An Guangyao asked. He wanted to know Gu Ning’s opinion.

“Hongyun Real Estate failed this time, but I’m sure that they won’t stop. You have to be more careful. If some workers try to cause trouble or create a mess at the construction site, write down their names and keep a close eye on them to collect evidence. If they want to quit, let them go, but put their names on the blacklist. Never hire them again,” Gu Ning said.

It was common that accidents happened at construction sites. As long as the company could handle it well, it would be fine.

“Sure,” An Guangyao answered.

The next day, the news spread aboard. It wasn’t actually a serious accident, but some people deliberately made up rumors and it suddenly became big news. It didn’t matter if it was true or not, people gradually started to believe it.

The rumors greatly affected Shenghua’s construction site and reputation. Even if the buildings were done, nobody was willing to buy the houses now, and the company could lose a lot of money.

In fact, the buildings were almost finished, and many houses were about to be on sale. However, most potential buyers gave up the idea of buying a house there after the news went aboard.

Some real estate companies who had competed for this land also gloated over Shenghua’s bad luck, especially Wu Lianqin, who had a long-standing grudge against An Guangyao. However, they all knew that it was just a common accident, which was the reason why every real estate company paid a lot for insurance.

It depended on the company to handle it well.

Insiders were all aware that it couldn’t be a simple accident because it spread aboard and became big news within a short time, but nobody knew who was behind it.

At the construction site, many workers argued for higher compensation and salary or they would quit the job. An Guangyao went to allay their anxiety in person, and raised the compensation, but some still wanted to leave.

“I don’t care about the compensation. What if I fall from a high building some day in the future? I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in the hospital!”

“Exactly! If we’re disabled, or dead, money is useless!”

“Give us our salary and we’ll quit!”

“If you don’t pay us, we’ll sue you and smash everything here!”

…

“You all have worked at construction sites for a long time, and you should know that accidents happen. If you insist on quitting, I will allow it. Shenghua Real Estate is able to pay you all!” An Guangyao said.

He was well-prepared before he came here today with his financial worker and cash, so he wasn’t afraid.

However, some hesitated after that. An Guangyao was right. It was dangerous to work on construction sites. And they all knew it clearly when they took the job. Many of them had also witnessed accidents in the past years. Moreover, the company had already paid the compensation and sent the injured worker to the hospital. It would be unreasonable if they all quite just because of the accident.

Shenghua Real Estate paid them high salary and compensation, and they were reluctant to leave too.

In the end, around seven workers insisted on leaving, and there were two among them who appeared to be extremely active. An Guangyao paid more attention to those two.

Chapter 223: Another Round

Only An Guangyao’s secretary and lawyer knew that it wasn’t an accident, everybody else still didn’t know the truth.

Therefore, Li Zewen, the lawyer, fixed his eyes on the two active workers. The two were disappointed that only seven workers were quitting.

“Why don’t you leave now? Do you want to be involved in an accident?”

“Exactly! You’ll regret it by then.”

Hearing that, other workers felt like quitting as well.

At this time, Li Zewen opened his mouth. “You’ve already gotten your salary, and if you continue to agitate, we can sue you.”

The two immediately shut their mouths. They had achieved their goal after all.

“Besides, once you quit from Shenghua Real Estate, you’ll never be hired here again. Please consider it well before you quit,” Li Zewen added.

Hearing that, the workers hesitated.

A few days later, another rumor that Shenghua Real Estate was going to go bankrupt went aboard. The company had already invested a large amount of money, but the project was stuck. It was likely that it would go bankrupt.

However, some also held the opinion that Shenghua Real Estate was different now. Its real boss who could easily acquire it must have the ability to keep it afloat. The company would lose this land at most, but wouldn’t go bankrupt.

Either way, Shenghua Real Estate was under the spotlight now.

Since it caused a sensation, the government sent someone to investigate the case too.

The rumor not only affected Shenghua Real Estate, but also affected the government, because the government had sold this land to Shenghua Real Estate. If the rumor was true, the government had made a bad decision.

The case wasn’t over yet, so the construction site went into a rest period. All the construction workers had paid vacation and would be notified later to resume working.

Chu Peihan’s birthday was today. She had already booked the hotel and went straight to the five-star hotel with her friends after classes.

An Yi was still in a bad mood because of the bad news of Shenghua Real Estate. Although the Shenghua Real Estate didn’t belong to his family now, his father still worked for it. However, today was Chu Peihan’s birthday, and he couldn’t be absent. In addition, he could do nothing to help his father now.

His friends all comforted him that the real boss of Shenghua would handle it if his father couldn’t solve the problem. An Yi then relaxed a little.

Chu Xuanfeng didn’t show up to Chu Peihan’s birthday party, because he was on a business trip. As the leader of Zhuque Group, Chu Xuanfeng was busy dealing with all kinds of business. He barely stayed in City F every month. Chu Xuanfeng was also not happy to leave on his sister’s birthday, but it wasn’t the first time, so he got used to it to some extent.

Except for Gu Ning, none of the rest knew about Chu Peihan’s background. Chu Peihan always kept it a secret, so they only knew that she had an older brother, but had no idea about her parents’ jobs.

They became friends with each other because they shared common interests, not because of their families.

Everyone showed his or her gift before the meal. Gu Ning was the boss, so she was the first one, but to everyone’s surprise, Gu Ning said, “I didn’t bring any gift.”

“What? No! Boss, you said that you would give me a precious gift! Do you know how excited I was to receive your gift?” Chu Peihan was upset at once.

The rest didn’t know what to say, but they didn’t believe that Gu Ning came with empty hands.

“You said that you didn’t care about gifts,” Gu Ning said, like she was innocent.

“I was just kidding. Don’t take it seriously!” Chu Peihan felt like crying now. She now understood the feeling of shooting herself in the foot. It was her birthday, and she was so looking forward to the gifts!

“There, there, I’m kidding too!” Gu Ning laughed. She then took out a box from her backpack.

Hearing that, Chu Peihan’s face lit up at once. “Boss, I knew it!”

However, everyone else was surprised.

Chu Peihan grabbed the box from Gu Ning without delay. Gu Ning only smiled gently.

She opened it immediately. It was a jade pendant in the shape of a rabbit.

Chu Peihan wasn’t very interested in jewelry, but it was a gift from Gu Ning and her name was on it, so she loved it very much.

“What is it?”

Everyone surrounded her.

“It’s a jade pendant in a rabbit’s shape! Boss, you asked us for our Chinese zodiac signs. Are you going to send each of us a jade pendant?” Hao Ran immediately realized why Gu Ning had asked them the question.

“Really?” Mu Ke and others all looked to Gu Ning with anticipation.

“You’re smart and right! I did prepare a jade pendant for each of you, but Peihan’s birthday was so near, so hers was finished first. And everybody else will need to wait for a while longer,” Gu Ning answered.

They were all happy to hear that. Then, Chu Peihan received more gifts from her other friends.

After the meal, they went to V5 bar to have fun. V5 bar became more popular after what had happened last time, because everybody knew that V5 bar had the support of the Qing Gang now.

Although some were afraid of the Qing Gang, more people thought that it would be safer in V5 bar.

They didn’t stay long in the bar, and didn’t drink much. Chu Peihan invited her friends to have night snacks afterwards.

Just as they left the bar, they heard a noisy argument.

A boy and a girl were arguing with another girl. They were all around 17-years-old.

“Su Anya, that’s enough! I told you that we broke up, so stop following me!” the boy shouted at the girl in front of him in anger.

Chapter 224: An Heir From A Super-rich Family

“Gao Yuchen, how can you be so shameless! If you disliked me and broke up with me early on, I wouldn’t say anything, but why did you have to have two girlfriends at the same time, and then dump me when I found out? What do you think I am? Am I just a toy in your eyes?” Su Anya argued angrily.

Su Anya didn’t seem sad, but more annoyed.

Hearing that, Gu Ning immediately felt for the girl called Su Anya. She was mad too.

“Su Anya, what do you think you are? You’re merely a pretty girl who’s good at studying. Yuchen is the heir from a super-rich family, while your family is so ordinary. You don’t deserve him, and you were with him just because he’s rich. It’s your honor that Yuchen was with you for half a year. And now, I’m his only girlfriend,” the girl who stood by the boy’s side said arrogantly. She even held Gao Yuchen’s arm to show her position.

“Bullshit, it’s his honor that I’ve been with him. He’s the heir from a super-rich family and so what? I don’t care if you played with other girls before, but you need to bear the result if you don’t treat me seriously!” Su Anya was furious, and slapped at Gao Yuchen’s face.

Gao Yuchen didn’t have time to avoid it, and was slapped heavily right across his face by Su Anya.

“Su Anya, are you insane?” the girl almost yelled.

“This is for you!” Su Anya said, raising her hand to slap the girl.

However, before her hand fell down, Gao Yuchen pushed her with great force. Su Anya was pushed away and stumbled on the curb, falling into the middle of the road. At this time, a private car drove over at a high speed. It was already too late to stop.

Everyone around was shocked.

The car almost hit Su Anya, but they were all struck dumb, standing still. However, right at this second, a hand grabbed Su Anya’s hand pulling her back to the sidewalk without hesitation.

The car just missed Su Anya and stopped right away. If Su Anya hadn’t been pulled back, she would have been killed.

Everyone looked at the person who had just saved Su Anya with admiration. Su Anya was so scared and trembled in shock. She could barely stand.

And the person who just had saved Su Anya was exactly Gu Ning.

“Boss, are you alright?”

Hao Ran and others ran to her at once. Although Gu Ning seemed fine, they were still worried.

“I’m fine,” Gu Ning said.

Seeing that Su Anya was safe, Gao Yuchen was relieved, but he had no intention to apologize and walked away.

“Wait!” Gu Ning stopped him. Although it had nothing to do with her, she couldn’t resist her urge to criticize Gao Yuchen angrily.

“What?” Gao Yuchen was apparently displeased.

“You almost killed her, and you are just going to walk away like that?” Gu Ning asked coldly.

“She is fine now,” Gao Yuchen replied with impatience.

“She’s fine because I saved her, but you can’t abdicate your responsibility,” Gu Ning said.

“I didn’t do it on purpose,” Gao Yuchen said with disdain. He had no sense of guilt at all.

“You should apologize!” Gu Ning criticized.

“You…” Gao Yuchen was irritated by Gu Ning’s attitude. “Who are you? And who do you think you are?”

“It’s not important. The point is you should feel ashamed of what you’ve done!” Gu Ning said in anger.

“What if I’m not, and what can she do?” Gao Yuchen said arrogantly, and gave Su Anya a glance of dislike. He knew that Su Anya didn’t know what to do with him.

Su Anya already got her mind back, but was still in shock. Seeing Gao Yuchen being so evil, she was more than furious now. “Gao Yuchen, Wu Xinyu, I’ll definitely pay you back one day in the future!”

After that, Su Anya pulled Gu Ning turned around and left.

Gu Ning didn’t resist, but followed her in leaving.

“You…” Both Gao Yuchen and Wu Xinyu were mad at Su Anya’s threat, but they didn’t think that an ordinary girl like her could do anything to hurt them.

Hao Ran and others also followed Su Anya.

“I think that there is probably no good man in this world.” Chu Peihan sighed, shaking her head.

Hearing that, Hao Ran and other boys immediately retorted, “Hey, don’t say that just because of that boy. I am a good man right in front of your eyes!”

“Me too!”

“Me too!”

“Um, I don’t think so,” Chu Peihan thought. They could change in the future.

Su Anya didn’t stop until they were far away. She bowed to Gu Ning, and thanked her sincerely. “Thank you so much for saving my life! If it hadn’t been for you, I would be dead already.”

“No big deal,” Gu Ning said.

“Oh, let’s have night snacks together!” Su Anya said.

“Are you sure that you are in the mood to eat?” Gu Ning asked.

“Exactly because of what I’ve just been thorough, I should treat myself better and I’m not going to cry like a kid. Also, I’ll never let him get away with it so easily!”

“Great! Let’s have night snacks together then!” Gu Ning agreed.

They got into three taxis afterwards.

Gu Ning and the girls took one, while the boys occupied the other two.

“Oh, my name’s Su Anya. I’m a senior in the No. 1 High School. How about you?” Su Anya asked.

“My name’s Gu Ning. This is Chu Peihan, and she’s Yu Mixi. We’re seniors in the No. 3 High School,” Gu Ning said.

Later, they gathered at a street of night snacks. Su Anya and the others introduced themselves to each other before they walked into a diner that Hao Ran frequently visited.

Su Anya was an outgoing girl too, so it was easy for her to be a part of them. They also exchanged their phone numbers and WeChat accounts, and were willing to gather together the next time.

Chapter 225: Gu Ning Fights Back

After the night snacks, they left in different directions.

Chu Peihan and Hao Ran called their private chauffeurs.

Yu Mixi and An Yi shared the car with Chu Peihan, while Hao Ran would send Qin Zixun and Zhang Tianping home. Mu Ke’s home was in another direction, so he took a taxi alone.

He was a boy, so it wouldn’t be dangerous.

During their conversation, Gu Ning found out that Su Anya lived in Fenghua Luxury Mansion too, so the two went home together.

Everyone knew that Gu Ning was able to protect herself and her friends, so they weren’t worried about their safety.

After they arrived at Fenghua Luxury Mansion, Gu Ning asked, “Do you need me to send you home?”

“No, thanks, it’s fine. It’s safe here,” Su Anya declined. She didn’t want Gu Ning to know her real identity yet.

“Alright, bye-bye,” Gu Ning didn’t insist.

…

During the following days, Shenghua Real Estate was still amid endless rumors. Even the staff in Shenghua worked in anxiety. Was Shenghua Real Estate going to fail?

Shenghua Real Estate didn’t respond to the outside or the inside at all. No one knew what Shenghua Real Estate was planning to do next.

Zhou Zhenghong called Gu Ning after the accident, but Gu Ning told him to relax and that Shenghua Real Estate would be fine.

Hearing Gu Ning’s relaxed tone, Zhou Zhenghong understood that Gu Ning would be able to handle it well.

Jiang Xu also asked Gu Ning about the accident.

However, just three days later, Shenghua Real Estate suddenly summoned a news conference and exposed several recordings as well as videos.

The first recording was that of when Wang Mao was talking with a mysterious man on the phone. The mysterious man was the marketing manager of Hongyun Real Estate in City G, Ren Kang.

The second recording and video showed the two workers who had incited other workers to strike meeting Ren Kang secretly. Ren Kang had caused the accident and purposely spread rumors to ruin Shenghua Real Estate’s reputation and on-going project. Shenghua Real Estate had been greatly affected and lost a lot of money. Its representative made it clear that Shenghua would sue Hongyun Real Estate.

After the news conference, everyone was shocked. Because of the recordings and videos, people naturally chose to believe Shenghua Real Estate and the rumors gradually disappeared.

People were only confused by the reason why the two companies suddenly became enemies, because Shenghua Real Estate was located in City F, while Hongyun Real Estate was in City G. Anyway, the two were opponents now.

Hongyun Real Estate was also astonished to hear of the news.

Fang Changsheng couldn’t deny the solid proof, so he could only blame Ren Kang. He claimed that it was Ren Kang’s individual behavior and didn’t represent the company. However, when people forgot this scandal, Fang Changsheng would keep Ren Kang safe.

Facing the pressure from Fang Changsheng, Ren Kang had to bear the charge.

Hongyun gave an official explanation that Ren Kang was responsible for the acquisition of Zhengyang Street, and he hated the fact that Shenghua Real Estate had settled the deal before him, so he tried to get revenge on Shenghua.

It was a reasonable explanation, so most people believed it, but there were also a lot of people didn’t buy it. Many insiders knew that Fang Changsheng was a selfish and evil person, and that he must have ordered Ren Kang to do so.

However, Gu Ning hadn’t collected evidence to show that Fang Changsheng was connected with Ren Kang in this scandal, so Fang Changsheng was safe for now.

And it was just the beginning of the competition between Shenghua Real Estate and Hongyun Real Estate. After what had happened, Gu Ning made up her mind to destroy Hongyun. She decided to collect Hongyun Real Estate’s dirty secrets, and she thought of a person who might be of great help. He was the famous hacker K who had many interactions with Gu Ning in her previous incarnation.

However, he had an extremely weird temper, and it was very hard to hire him to do something.

Unless he was interested in it, and it was a challenge to him, otherwise he felt like it was an insult to his IQ. Meanwhile, you had to pay one third of your assets to hire him, and your assets had to meet his basic standards.

It wasn’t a challenge for K to get Hongyun Real Estate’s dirty secrets at all, and he wasn’t interested in it either. Even if Gu Ning paid him all her assets, he would probably still not do it, because money was nothing in his eyes.

The only thing he didn’t lack in this world was money, and he only asked for an extremely high payment for fun.

However, Gu Ning knew exactly what K wanted.

His legs became paralyzed after an accident five years ago, and now he could only move with the help of his wheelchair. Therefore, the only thing that he wanted in this world was to walk with his legs again.

And Gu Ning had her magical power now. As long as he was alive, she could cure any diseases, but she had no idea whether she could help his legs recover to what they had been before.

Even so, it was still unbelievable for normal people to walk again. Gu Ning was confident that K would agree to help her. She also planned to cure K over a long period of time, so that he would help her longer.

Shenghua Real Estate got the compensation in the end, and the construction site was finally back to normal again.

Those who wanted to see Sheghua fail had only made a joke of themselves, and Shenghua Real Estate only grew more powerful after this mess. It had successfully grabbed the land from the real estate tycoon in City G.

At the same time, those construction workers who had left Shenghua Real Estate were highly regretful now.

As for Wang Mao and the other two who had accepted a bribe from Ren Kang, they were also punished according to the law. Only Ren Kang got away with it.

Although he was mainly responsibility for this mess, he couldn’t afford the full compensation himself, so Fang Changsheng used an excuse to help Ren Kang pay the compensation to Shenghua Real Estate. After that, Fang Changsheng turned to the vice mayor, Liu Shikun to protect Ren Kang.

Unexpectedly, Liu Shikun didn’t dare to help him because he didn’t want to be involved.

Chapter 226: Contact K

Liu Shikun didn’t dare to be involved, neither would Fang Changsheng. He was so mad that he wanted to ruin Shenghua Real Estate right now. He had tried once but failed, and now was even more determined to destroy Shenghua.

It took almost a week before this problem was solved.

During this week, Shenghua Real Estate wasn’t the only company that was amid troubles. The Gao Family, which was ranked tenth on the list of the richest in City F, had to close three restaurants under its name because of poor sanitation. Its reputation was greatly damaged.

And the Su Family, which ranked second on the list, suddenly stopped cooperating with the branch of Dongheng Real Estate in City F. And the latter lost a fortune. Wu Lianqin, who was the president, was even demoted.

City F had suffered a lot in this week.

Gu Ning instantly figured it out when she heard that the Gao Family, the Su Family and the Wu Family were involved.

Su Anya was from the Su Family, and she had gotten revenge on Gao Yuchen and Wu Xinyu.

Su Anya didn’t seem like an ordinary girl when Gu Ning had met her for the first time. However, to her surprise, Su Anya’s family was extremely influential. The Su Family was ranked second with four billion yuan in assets on the list of the richest in City F.

Gu Ning was also surprised to hear that Wu Xinyu was Wu Lianqin’s daughter.

Hao Ran and the others also had the same idea that Su Anya wasn’t an ordinary girl, and that all the news couldn’t be a coincidence.

Although they were all astonished by Su Anya’s real identity, they were more curious to know Gao Yuchen’s reaction after he found out his so-called ordinary ex-girlfriend was from the Su Family. He must be genuinely regretful!

Nobody blamed Su Anya for her revenge, because she could have been killed that day.

Although Gao Yuchen hadn’t done it on purpose, he had indeed hurt Su Anya, and the Su Family of course would punish the Gao Family. And the Wu Family suffered too.

On Thursday night, Gu Ning dialed a number. Someone answered it after a long time. A cold male voice sounded, “Who is it?”

“K, let’s make a deal. I think you’ll be interested in the reward.” Gu Ning said plainly and without delay when she recognized K’s voice.

“Really, tell me what is it?” K was curious.

“I can cure your legs, and you can get rid of the wheelchair, walking like a normal man. However, I can’t promise that your legs will be exactly the same as they were.”

“What?”

Hearing that, K was shocked.

He was more astonished that she was aware that his legs were paralyzed than that she was able to cure his legs, because there were only a few people who knew his secret.

How did she know about it?

However, as long as she could cure his legs, he didn’t mind how she found out about his secret.

Meanwhile, he still doubted whether she could really do it.

He didn’t care if his legs couldn’t fully recover. He only wanted to walk again.

K tried his best to stay calm, and asked, “Are you sure you can cure my legs? Why should I believe you?”

“You can have a try, and you’ll know. I can administer primary treatment to you first. If it works, you can make your decision then,” Gu Ning said.

“Sounds good. What’s your aim?” K asked.

“Work for me for a year, and help me investigate whatever I want. I won’t make you threaten this country’s safety, or investigate state secret. I’ll only deal with my enemies,” Gu Ning said.

“Sure, as long as you can cure my legs, I’ll work for you for a year,” K answered with alacrity. Gu Ning had hit the mark. All he wanted was to walk like a normal man. He wanted to visit many places in this world, and finish his bucket list. He did not want to spend the rest of his life in this wheelchair. Although he doubted Gu Ning’s ability, he wasn’t willing to miss any chance.

“Where shall we meet?” K asked. He sounded calm, but he actually couldn’t wait.

“I live in City F. We can meet wherever you want,” Gu Ning said for the sake of K’s condition.

“I’m in City D.” He was unwilling to go far.

City D was a first-tier city, and was one of the most developed cities in this country. It only took two hours to fly to City D from City F.

“I’ll visit you on Saturday. I’ll call you then,” Gu Ning said then they hung up.

On Friday, Su Anya invited Gu Ning and her friends to dine together.

Gu Ning understood that Su Anya wanted to celebrate her successful revenge, and it wasn’t a bad thing to make friends with Su Anya, so Gu Ning agreed.

However, Su Anya was stopped by Gao Yuchen and Wu Xinyu when she left her school.

“Su Anya, are you involved in the Gao Family and the Wu Family’s troubles?” Wu Xinyu questioned in anger.

Apparently, after the Gao Family and the Wu Family encountered troubles one by one, Gao Yuchen and Wu Xinyu suspected Su Anya. They didn’t believe that Su Anya had the ability, but they couldn’t believe that it was a coincidence either! Besides, Gao Yuchen and Wu Xinyu couldn’t accept the fact that Su Anya had a close connection with the Su Family.

Although they hadn’t gotten the affirmative answer yet, Gao Yuchen was truly regretful now. Even if Su Anya wasn’t an important figure in the Su Family, she wouldn’t be an ordinary girl either. As long as he could maintain a good relationship with the Su Family, his family could benefit a lot from it.

“Of course I’m involved. And you should be grateful that I wasn’t hit by the car that day, or it wouldn’t be as simple as it is now.” Su Anya admitted with alacrity.

“Anya, I’m so sorry for what I’ve done. It’s all my fault. I made a mistake being with Wu Xinyu. You’re the only girl I like. Could you give me another chance?” Gao Yuchen immediately begged.

“Gao Yuchen, you…” Wu Xinyu was furious at once.

Chapter 227: Predict the Car Accident
 
Su Anya, instead, laughed out loud. “Ha-ha, ha-ha! Gao Yuchen, are you an idiot or something? I’m not stupid! Didn’t you dump me because I’m an ordinary girl while she’s from a super-rich family? I know that I shouldn’t have hidden my real identity when I was your girlfriend, but precisely because of that, I was able to see through you. You’re merely a selfish hypocrite! You are now begging me to give you a chance just because of my background. Shame on you!”

After that, Su Anya ignored Gao Yuchen and Wu Xinyu, walking straight by them.

Although they were mad at Su Anya’s revenge, they didn’t dare to do anything because of her real identity.

Without hesitation, Wu Xinyu slapped Gao Yuchen across his face with a loud sound. “Gao Yuchen, we break up now!”

Wu Xinyu wanted to be Gao Yuchen’s girlfriend because of his background too, but the Wu Family wasn’t weak either, and she had many choices. She was very proud and couldn’t stand the humiliation.

In the end, Gao Yuchen lost both of the girls.

During the dinner, Su Anya told her newly-made friends her real identity, but none of them felt surprised. They also didn’t flatter Su Anya just because of her background, because they were real friends.

Su Anya wasn’t an arrogant girl either, and she hated hypocrisy. Since they were friends now, they should treat each other equally.

The same night in City G.

In a noisy club, colorful lights shone. Men and women crazily gyrated on the dance floor. The air was full of desire and luxury.

Li Zhenzhen, Su Jing, Lin Wencong and Yuan Sen were among them.

Lin Wencong and Yuan Sen had forced Li Zhenzhen and Su Jing to have sex with them three times in this week. Li Zhenzhen and Su Jing had been tortured every time. It took them a long, painful time to recover. However, once they were recovered, Lin Wencong and Yuan Sen would call them out again, and today was the fourth time.

Li Zhenzhen’s plan of killing Lin Wencong and Yuan Sen was still up in the air, because no one took this task. Besides, Li Zhenzhen didn’t know many people who could help her.

Even though she wanted Lin Wencong and Yuan Sen to be dead right now, she didn’t want to be involved personally. Thus she had done nothing when she had a chance to kill them before.

Li Zhenzhen and Su Jing had even tried to delete the videos on their phones, but they had been discovered. Lin Wencong and Yuan Sen also told them that they had copies of those videos. Li Zhenzhen and Su Jing were furious, but helpless too.

What was worse was that Lin Wencong and Yuan Sen had forced them to use drugs, and they were gradually getting addicted to it. Meanwhile, their desire to get revenge started to fade away.

Li Zhenzhen had called Qin Yifan the other day. She asked him whether there was any possibility that they could be together, but Qin Yifan still rejected her as usual. She was completely heartbroken this time, and started living her sexual life with wild abandon. Li Zhenzhen slept with not only Lin Wencong and Yuan Sen, but with random men as well.

Her family sensed that something had to be wrong with Li Zhenzhen, because in the past she always went out during days, but now she never came back home till it was very late, or she would simply stay out all night. And she never came back home without being drunk.

It was already 12 am. Li Zhenzhen was still playing crazily in the bar and she wouldn’t answer her parents’ calls, which deeply worried her families.

Li Zhenzhen’s parents and her older brother Li Zhenyu were still awake, sitting in the living room. Li Zhenzhen’s father looked upset while holding his phone in his hand. “Zhenyu, what happened to your younger sister? She’s totally changed.”

They thought that Li Zhenzhen was a grownup now, and that they shouldn’t interfere in her personal affairs. However, she behaved in an increasingly wild and uncontrolled way.

“I’m not clear about it. Maybe it’s because Qin Yifan likes another girl, and she’s unhappy,” Li Zhenyu said.

Hearing that, Li Zhenzhen’s parents could only sigh.

Although they all wished that Li Zhenzhen could marry Qin Yifan, Qin Yifan didn’t like Li Zhenzhen and wasn’t willing to marry her either. They couldn’t do anything about it.

If they annoyed the Qin Family because of that, it would be the last thing the Li Family wanted to see.

…

Gu Ning flew to City D early in the morning on Saturday. However, while Gu Ning was on her way to City D, Leng Shaoting arrived at City F at the same time. He planned to surprise her, but her phone was turned off. Leng Shaoting thought that maybe Gu Ning was not in City F.

She had a company in City G and went to City G often, so Leng Shaoting guessed that Gu Ning could be in City G. He wasn’t sure yet, so he didn’t fly to City G abruptly. It was also possible that Gu Ning’s phone was dead.

Around 11 am, Gu Ning arrived at the airport in City D. She didn’t notice that Leng Shaoting had called her until she turned her phone on later.

“Hi, where are you now?” Leng Shaoting asked the minute he answered Gu Ning’s call.

“I’m in City D now, and I just got off the plane,” Gu Ning replied.

“I just arrived at City F,” Leng Shaoting said. He sounded a little upset.

“What?” Gu Ning was surprised. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

“I wanted to surprise you,” Leng Shaoting said feeling disappointed.

Gu Ning didn’t know what to say, but she was moved. “Wait for me in City F. I’ll be back tomorrow morning.”

“Fine,” Leng Shaoting answered.

After that, Gu Ning called K to make an appointment with him.

K and Gu Ning were going to meet in an exclusive resort called Quanlin Resort. Although Gu Ning had never been there before, she had heard of it and read news about it on the Internet. It was a beautiful resort with an outstanding natural view. And it was a place that was safe for celebrities to meet, eat or discuss business. Only the rich or the authorities could afford it.

Gu Ning didn’t know how much wealth K had, but she knew that he was far richer than her.

On the way to the resort from the airport, a picture again emerged before Gu Ning’s eyes. A big red truck suddenly lost control and hit a black Cayenne into the guardrails on a highway. The black Cayenne fell from the 10 meter high road and crashed into pieces, which resulted in the death of the three people in the car on site.

Gu Ning’s heart tightened. Since she could see the picture, it must have something to do with her, and she had to stop it from happening.

Chapter 228: A Murder

Before long, Gu Ning noticed that a red big truck was driving ahead not far away. She checked its plate, and it was exactly the same one that had shown in the picture before her Jade Eyes.

She immediately used her Jade Eyes and saw that a black Cayenne was driving right ahead of the big truck. There was a 10-meter or so gap between the two cars, and the big truck was speeding up. They were still a thousand meters away from the highway.

“Hey, would you please drive faster and catch up with the Cayenne? It’s my friend’s car,” Gu Ning urged the driver and told him a lie.

“Sure.” The driver agreed and sped up immediately. Although the driver sped up, it was still difficult for him to catch up because they were all driving at a high speed.

“Why is the big truck driving so fast? It is already exceeding the speed limit, and is getting near to the Cayenne. If it doesn’t slow down right now, it could be dangerous,” the driver complained.

Hearing what the taxi driver said, Gu Ning frowned. Even the taxi driver knew that it could be dangerous if the big truck didn’t slow down, so why did the driver of the big truck still do it, and even sped up? The big truck must be doing it on purpose! Why? Was it a murder?

Although Gu Ning wasn’t certain about it, it was possible, because the big truck was behaving strangely.

The highway was right before their eyes, and Gu Ning was feeling very anxious. What should she do now?

“Stop the car right now!”

When the big truck almost hit the Cayenne, Gu Ning ordered the taxi driver to stop immediately. The taxi driver instinctively stepped on the brake without hesitation.

Gu Ning got out of the car immediately, but right at that moment, the big truck knocked into the Cayenne, and the latter crashed into the guardrails in an uncontrolled way.

If the Cayenne had knocked the guardrails directly, it wouldn’t have fallen, but it had already been knocked over the guardrail, and was doomed to fall.

Gu Ning immediately ran to the Cayenne. Just as half of the Cayenne had already gone over the guardrails, Gu Ning caught one of its wheels which were still on the safe side of the guardrail. She used her magical power to improve her strength, and stabilized the car. The two back wheels of the car were forced to get stuck in the guardrails. However, it was still very dangerous. If Gu Ning wasn’t powerful enough to hold it, it would fall anyway.

Gu Ning’s power was limited, and it was being consumed in a large amount within a short period of time. If the people in the car couldn’t be rescued soon, the car would still fall down when Gu Ning lost the support from her power.

Everyone around was shocked by the scene.

How powerful this girl is!

And she must be super brave to risk her own life to catch the wheel. She could fall too!

Because of that accident, all the cars behind them stopped, and some warm-hearted men came to help Gu Ning one by one. However, they all could only stabilize the car, and it was impossible for them to pull it back. They needed a crane.

Some called the police, and some called the ambulance, while some were busy taking pictures as well as videos of the unusual scene.

A piece of news soon appeared on the Internet, A car accident on a highway in City D. A brave and powerful girl caught its wheel! [Pictures Attached] .

The first picture was Gu Ning holding the wheel alone, and in the second picture, many went to help Gu Ning pull on the back of the car, but their faces weren’t clear because of the long distance.

Two thirds of the Cayenne was knocked over the guardrail, and it was highly possible to fall. Thus no one thought that it was a show and that Gu Ning was deliberately attracting people’s attention. Instead, they were all astonished by Gu Ning’s bravery and strength.

“Jesus! How does she do it!”

“I think that she isn’t an ordinary human being. She was able to grab hold of the wheel and stabilize the car right on time!”

“Indeed! It’s incredible!”

…

The news went viral on the Internet and caused a sensation within a short time.

When a government worker noticed the car plate in the picture, he was stunned and called the mayor’s private number at once.

The mayor was also shocked to hear the news. He immediately took a car, heading to the site in person.

Moreover, he also called the directors of the Public Security Department as well as the Fire Department and the head of the Central Hospital.

It seemed that the people in the Cayenne were very important. However, the crowd had no idea of that yet.

Around 10 minutes later, the fire brigade arrived and immediately started directing a rescue. Ambulances arrived soon after.

Just as the Cayenne was pulled back, the directors of the Public Security Department as well as the Fire Department and the head of the Central Hospital arrived one by one.

Everyone was astonished and curious about the people in the Cayenne’s identity. The owner of the car must be an important figure.

It cost Gu Ning too much power, and she was exhausted, sinking to the ground. She was surprised too, but had no energy to think about it now.

She planned to walk away quietly, but a nurse found her and put her into an ambulance without delay.

Gu Ning wasn’t able to resist at all right now, and decided to have a rest first.

Unexpectedly, she fell sound asleep afterwards, and missed the call from K.

K had been waiting for her for a long time, and lost his patience. He called her twice and a doctor answered it the second time.

“Miss Gu, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Where are you right now?” K was apparently displeased.

“Hi, the girl was in an accident just then, and she is in the hospital now. May I know your relationship with her?” the doctor said politely.

“What? She was in an accident?” K was greatly surprised.

“Yes, there was a car accident on the highway. She’s in a deep sleep now after she used her full force to pull on the car’s wheel.” The doctor thought that K was Gu Ning’s friend, so he told him the truth.

“What? She is the girl who pulled the car’s wheel?” K was amazed.

While he was waiting for Gu Ning, he surfed the Internet to kill time, and he had also read the news about the accident. To his astonishment, the girl in the picture was actually Gu Ning.

Chapter 229: Treatment for K

K now thought highly of Gu Ning, and was even more interested in her.

“Which hospital was she admitted to?” K asked. He planned to visit her.

Gu Ning had promised to cure his legs, so he didn’t want to miss the chance. In addition, what Gu Ning did had won his trust.

“The Center Hospital, patient room V11,” the doctor said.

The atmosphere in another VIP patient room was depressing.

A man who was around 50-years-old was lying on the patient bed. He had a pair of sharp, bright eyes, and no one dared to meet his gaze. The man also had an air of power and coldness, which terrified people around him.

“Vice governor, the driver of the truck is already in custody, but we haven’t gotten his testimony yet,” a middle-aged man said with great respect.

The man who was lying on the patient bed was the vice governor of Province D, Xiao Changchun. And the middle-aged man was the director of the Public Security Department, Fu Wenwu.

“It has to be Liu Guolai or Zhao Feilong!” another man in his early forties said in anger. He was the mayor of City D, Jiang Bowen.

Liu Guolai was the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee in City D, while Zhao Feilong was the governor of Province D. Zhao Feilong, Liu Guolai and Xiao Changchun were competing against each other for a significant position, so they all wanted to destroy the other two.

Although both Zhao Feilong and Liu Guolai were in higher positions than Xiao Changchun now, Xiao Changchun’s achievements and reputation were better than theirs, so they felt threatened.

“Oh, how are the chauffeur, Secretary Yang, and that young girl?” Xiao Changchun asked with care. He now looked gentler.

The big truck had hit them heavily, but Xiao Changchun who had sat in the back row had survived because of his seat belt. He was only slightly injured, but had passed out because of the force.

“The chauffeur and Secretary Yang are fine. The young girl only ran out of energy, and is in a deep sleep right now,” Jiang Bowen said.

“Great, we must thank her,” Xiao Changchun ordered. Although he thought that the girl wasn’t simple, he had no intention to investigate her, because she had just saved his life.

“No problem, but how? Money or something else?” Jiang Bowen asked.

“Give her a hundred thousand yuan as a reward and prize for her bravery,” Xiao Changchun said.

Money was probably the most practical reward, and it wasn’t appropriate for a government official to give her a house or a car.

“Sure, I’ll arrange it right away,” Jiang Bowen said. He immediately called his secretary to handle it.

Gu Ning opened her eyes, and a young good-looking face came into her sight. She got a fright and sat up abruptly. “K, why are you here?”

K felt a little dissatisfied at Gu Ning’s great reaction, but he was surprised to hear what Gu Ning had said. He squinted and seemed dangerous, “Do you know me?”

There were only a few people who knew who he was. How come she knew him?

Gu Ning immediately regretted saying that, but she couldn’t tell him that they had met before in her previous incarnation. If she did she would expose her secret of being reborn. Thus Gu Ning could only explain, “I’m sensitive to voices and I heard your voice just now, so I assumed that it had to be you when I opened my eyes.”

Gu Ning did hear someone talking, but she wasn’t sure whether it was K or not. If K denied it, she could make up an excuse saying that it was a coincidence.

Seeing that Gu Ning was calm, K chose to believe her, and he did say something just then.

“Hey, how come you’re so strong and brave to pull the car and prevent it from falling?” K asked with curiosity.

“Because I’m willing to help others and I’m full of energy!” Gu Ning replied with sincerity. Although she didn’t want to be involved in trouble, she couldn’t stand aside when she saw that others were in trouble.

“Fine!” K said.

“And when can you cure my legs?” K asked, because he couldn’t wait.

“We can try it now,” Gu Ning said. She stood up taking out a glass flask from her backpack. “This is the medicine that I’ve prepared for you. Drink it first, and I’ll help you massage your legs. You’ll start feeling something.”

K stared at the so-called black medicine in the glass kettle, and frowned with obvious dislike.

“Are you sure this medicine is safe?” Although he believed Gu Ning to some extent now, he didn’t fully trust her. They were merely strangers after all. He came to meet her just because he didn’t want to miss any chance.

“If you’re worried, you can have another person who you trust act as a witness. If you’re in danger, he can capture me,” Gu Ning said airily, like she didn’t care.

K also knew that nothing good came without risk.

In fact, the medicine was only a normal medicine to improve a person’s sleep. Gu Ning used it as a cover; the major part was the massage.

“Guo Hao, come on in,” K called at someone outside.

A young man walked in at once, and K ordered, “I’m going to take this medicine that she gave me. If I’m in danger, you can capture her and hand her to the police.”

“Boss…” Guo Hao was concerned.

K ignored him, opening the lid, and drank the medicine. It had acrid smell and tasted terrible, but K drank it.

Afterwards, Gu Ning bent in front of his wheelchair, and massaged his knees. She did it randomly, because the point was to insert her power into his legs.

With the help of the power, K immediately felt more comfortable, and his paralyzed legs started to have feelings, which greatly surprised K. Gu Ning did it!

However, right at that moment, Gu Ning stopped massaging. All that she had needed to do was to make K believe in her ability.

“How do you feel?” Gu Ning asked.

“Boss, how are you doing?” Guo Hao also asked with anxiety.

“I think I’m recovering!” K was thrilled.

Chapter 230: You Did It On Purpose!

“Really?” Guo Hao was excited too.

“Miss Gu, how long will it take to fully cure my legs,” K asked with alacrity.

“We’ll do the treatment three times in alternate weeks. Your muscles will recover the first time, and your joints will heal the second time. The third time, you’ll be able to walk,” Gu Ning said.

“Am I dreaming?” K’s body trembled slightly in surprise. It was too good to be true for him.

“You’re not,” Gu Ning said with confidence.

“Very well, I trust you, and I’ll work for you for a year,” K said.

“Great!” Although Gu Ning was confident that K would agree, she was finally relieved to get his affirmative answer.

K reached out his hand to shake Gu Ning’s, “It’s very nice meeting you.”

Then, Gu Ning inserted her power into K’s legs again to recover his muscles. K’s legs regained its feeling, which made K and Guo Hao feel extremely excited. However, the joints in K’s legs were still badly damaged, so he couldn’t walk for now.

After the first treatment, Gu Ning said, “I need your help right now, but I don’t think that it is a good place to discuss it here. I’m starving right now. Why don’t we talk on the way to the restaurant?”

She hadn’t eaten in a long time.

“Sure, let’s go now!” K agreed.

Then Guo Hao pushed K’s wheelchair followed by Gu Ning, heading outside.

They had to tell the doctor first before leaving. However, just as they left the patient room, Jiang Bowen met them face to face and stopped them.

“Hi, you’re finally awake. Where are you going now?” Jiang Bowen asked Gu Ning.

“Nice to meet you, Mayor Jiang. I’m fine now, and I’m going to tell my doctor before I leave with my friends,” Gu Ning replied. She behaved calmly in front of Jiang Bowen.

“You’re leaving?” Jiang Bowen was surprised that this young girl asked for nothing after what she had done.

“Nevertheless, you’ve done a great thing! We haven’t reward you yet,” Jiang Bowen said. He scrutinized Gu Ning to see whether she was truly modest.

Gu Ning smiled and said, “Mayor Jiang, I did it out of my own willingness, and I won’t ask for any reward. However, I only hope that I’ve saved an honest and upright official.”

“Very well, you’re very kind and modest. I admire you!” Jiang Bowen complimented her plainly.

“However, you’ve made a great achievement, and you deserve the reward. Well, how about this. I can fulfill a wish of you, as long as it’s legal. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can turn to me for help,” Jiang Bowen said, handing his name card to Gu Ning.

“That would be so great,” Gu Ning didn’t reject, and took the name card. “Mayor Jiang, please do not expose me in this accident. I don’t want to be involved in unnecessary trouble.”

This car accident was an attempt at murder. If the killer knew that she ruined his plan, he wouldn’t let her get away with it. Jiang Bowen was also aware of it, so he agreed to protect Gu Ning.

“Don’t worry. I’ll handle it,” Jiang Bowen said to Gu Ning.

“Thanks,” Gu Ning said.

After that, they said good-bye to Jiang Bowen.

“Mayor, I think that she probably wanted your favor more than a reward,” Jiang Bowen’s secretary said behind him after Gu Ning was gone.

Jiang Bowen had the same thought, but he didn’t care, “She saved the vice governor’s life. And my favor is nothing compared to that.”

Indeed, Xiao Changchun’s life was much more important than a little favor.

If Xiao Changchun had been killed in the car accident, a powerful group in the politics would have lost an essential figure.

Jiang Bowen added then, “She didn’t ask for my favor on her own initiative. I think she’s an honest girl, and accepted my favor just because she didn’t want to turn me down.”

In addition, he only promised to fulfill a legal wish for her. Even if she really turned to him for help one day in the future, he believed that it wouldn’t be difficult for him to solve it.

His secretary agreed with him. They were politicians and it was necessary to be careful.

“You had to have done that on purpose!” Even K had the same thought about Gu Ning. The mayor owed her a favor, which was of great use in the future.

“It’s not important. He proposed it himself, and why can’t I take it?” Gu Ning said.

“Well, I’m surprised that you asked for nothing after you saved an important figure’s life,” K admired Gu Ning for what she had done. He probably couldn’t be so altruistic himself.

“I don’t need their support right now, so I didn’t ask for anything. However, I needed your help, so I offered to cure your legs for a reason,” Gu Ning said.

K was stunned. Gu Ning had rescued Xiao Changchun for nothing, but asked him to work for her for a year. K felt a little displeased, but he was even willing to work for her for two years as long as she could cure his legs.

In the VIP patient room, Jiang Bowen reported his talk with Gu Ning to Xiao Changchun. Xiao Changchun also believed that Gu Ning was a good girl who took Jiang Bowen’s name card just because she didn’t want to reject his kindness. And it was Jiang Bowen who promised to help her in the future.

Xiao Changchun had a good impression of Gu Ning after this accident. She had saved his life after all!

On the way to Quanlin Resort, Gu Ning told K that she planned to investigate Hongyun Real Estate in City G, and she didn’t hide her grudge with Hongyun. K was astonished after that.

“How old are you now? You must be younger than 20, and you have already started running a business? It’s unbelievable!” K said with amazement.

K was an ace hacker, but he didn’t know how to run a company at all, so he admired Gu Ning.

“No problem. I’ll send the materials to you once I find some,” K said..
