Chapter 891: The Gambling Magnate of City M

When the gambling competition was over in the He family’s casino, some people posted pictures and short videos of it on the Internet.

The new God of Gamblers! She won 1.7 billion yuan after playing three forms of gambling against Fan Zhihao, who is the ex apprentice of the gambling magnate of City M.

This woman never loses!

An unbelievable woman with unbelievable gambling skills, Tang Aining.

Posts about Tang Aining and the gambling competition between He Hongyuan and He Hongjie soon went viral.

“OMG, 1.7 billion yuan?”

“It’s an astronomical number!”

“How could she be so lucky?”

“I think she’ll be the next God of Gamblers.”

“She’s only in her late twenties. It’s so unbelievable.”

“I couldn’t believe it either.”

…

At the same time, some people still had doubts.

“Did she cheat?”

“It’s the He family’s casino. I think it’s easy for them to cheat.”

“Right.”

“I agree.”

…

However, some people retorted at once.

“She didn’t cheat at all! I was there myself, and they checked the machines every time before the game began.”

“I think you’re just jealous of her, because she’s too outstanding.”

“Don’t you know who Fan Zhihao is? He’s the ex apprentice of the gambling magnate in City M. He would know if she cheated.”

Fan Zhihao was a well-known, skilled gambler in HK, so many people had heard his name.

Reading the above comments, more and more Internet users started to believe that “Tang Aining” had relied on her own ability to win the competition.

As the gambling magnate in HK, He Hongjie was a household name. Once the news of the competition went abroad, people who were involved in the gambling industry paid a lot of attention to it.

The name “Tang Aining” gained a lot of attention as well. They were all stunned by her gambling skills.

Outsiders might not be able to see whether “Tang Aining” had cheated in the competition, but insiders were all aware that it was impossible. Therefore, the majority in the gambling industry believed that “Tang Aining” was a talented gambler.

Within a short time, the news got the attention of the gambling magnate of City M.

The gambling magnate of City M was also the God of Gamblers for many years, because nobody could replace him.

Since he had stayed in that high position for too long, he felt a little lonely, and sought for competitors. Nevertheless, nobody could beat him in a gambling game. Therefore, Gu Ning’s appearance aroused the interest of the gambling magnate of City M.

Although he had done it before with He Hongjie, it was a tie and they had just played Sic Bo. He hadn’t enjoyed himself back then.

Because the gambling magnate of City M and He Hongjie were acquaintances, they had each other’s phone number, so he called He Hongjie right after he read the news.

When He Hongjie received the call from the gambling magnate of City M, he had just separated from Gu Ning’s group, who were on the way to the island.

He Siyin didn’t go to the island along with them, because he was an old man after all.

He Hongjie was surprised to hear from the gambling magnate of City M, but he somewhat guessed the reason.

He was right. The gambling magnate of City M called because of Gu Ning.

The news was too shocking, so it was understandable that the gambling magnate of City M was interested in it.

In addition, he thought that it was a good chance for Gu Ning.

Nevertheless, he wasn’t with Gu Ning now, so he couldn’t let Gu Ning talk to the gambling magnate of City M on the phone. And as for Gu Ning’s phone number, He Hongjie wouldn’t give it to anyone without her permission, so he told the gambling magnate of City M that he would pass on his invitation to Gu Ning.

The gambling magnate of City M understood, and was willing to wait for Gu Ning’s answer.

He Hongjie called Gu Ning later.

“Miss Gu, the gambling magnate of City M just called me and invited you to have a gambling competition with him. What do you think?” He Hongjie asked.

Hearing that, Gu Ning was a little surprised, but soon figured out why.

“It’s my honor to have a competition with the gambling magnate of City M. However, please don’t tell him my real name, and give him the phone number that I use as Tang Aining,” Gu Ning said.

“No problem,” He Hongjie said.

Afterwards, Gu Ning told He Hongjie the phone number that she used as Tang Aining before she hung up the call.

Chapter 892: Search Around the Small Island

He Hongjie called the gambling magnate of City M back at once.

The gambling magnate of City M was worried that “Tang Aining” might turn him down, because he knew little about her.

He Hongjie gave him “Tang Aining’s” phone number a while later.

The gambling magnate of City M then called “Tang Aining” without delay.

The gambling magnate of City M was named Ye Chaoxiong. He was 57 years old and several years older than He Hongjie.

When Gu Ning received Ye Chaoxiong’s call, she had already been on the He family’s yacht with the others for a short while.

“Hi, who is this?” Gu Ning answered his call.

“Hi, Miss Tang, I’m Ye Chaoxiong,” Ye Chaoxiong said in a deep calm voice. He sounded serious and powerful but not threatening.

“Nice to hear from you, Mr. Ye,” Gu Ning said with confidence and politeness. She didn’t think that she was inferior to him.

From the simple sentence, Ye Chaoxiong could already feel that the person wasn’t simple at all.

“Miss Tang, I bet that you must know why I called you,” Ye Chaoxiong said. He stopped for a second, then continued, “I just read the news that you had a gambling competition with Fan Zhihao, and that you didn’t lose once. Would you mind playing a round with me?”

Ye Chaoxiong was very kind and polite. He wouldn’t force her to gamble with him.

“It’s my honor to gamble with Mr. Ye, but I think that there should still be a bet since it’s gambling,” Gu Ning said. She wouldn’t waste time on gambling without making any money.

“Of course,” Ye Chaoxiong said. He also thought it would be boring if there was no bet.

“Well, Mr. Ye, when do you want to have the competition?” Gu Ning asked.

“The sooner, the better. I’m free every day. It depends on your free time,” Ye Chaoxiong said.

“I’m sorry. I’m occupied right now. Can I call you back when I’m done?” Gu Ning asked. She wasn’t sure whether they could find He Siyang this time, and how much time it would take.

“No problem. Please feel free to call me.” Ye Chaoxiong was very considerate.

After that, they hung up the call at the same time.

Gu Ning went back to the cabin, and sensed the tense atmosphere inside.

He Yishao didn’t know that Leng Shaoting was Gu Ning’s boyfriend, so he kept talking to Gu Ning right in front of him.

Gu Ning had done the He family a great favor, so He Yishao was very grateful to her. Moreover, He Yishao admired Gu Ning for her outstanding gambling skills, so he treated her with a lot of enthusiasm.

Therefore, Leng Shaoting directly took action to show his ownership of Gu Ning. He pulled Gu Ning aside without saying a word and left He Yishao there alone in embarrassment.

Seeing her boyfriend being jealous again, Gu Ning didn’t know what to say.

After knowing that they were a couple, He Yishao also realized that his behavior was a little inappropriate.

“Well, you’re going to make a fortune again,” He Siyin said to Gu Ning. She believed that Gu Ning was the best gambler she had ever seen.

“Why are you so confident in me?” Gu Ning was amused.

“Ha-ha, you’re the best gambler in the world in my eyes,” He Siyin said. Only Gu Ning could correctly tell the specific numbers on the dice every time during Sic Bo.

Only Gu Ning could be so lucky as to win the most bets in 5 card stud.

Only Gu Ning could make money every time playing the slot machine and even win all the chips in the prize pool. It was a one in a million chance that a person could do that after all.

Gu Ning smiled, but didn’t explain it.

“You’re famous now, and there will be more and more skilled gamblers who want to compete against you; you’ll make endless money!” He Siyin said. She was envious, but not jealous of Gu Ning. Money was a good thing, but it came with a price.

Gu Ning was indeed famous now, but it brought her trouble as well.

Many people in this world would do illegal things to get rid of their enemies or people who stood in their way of their own benefits.

Thinking of that, He Siyin was worried about Gu Ning’s safety. “You must be very careful from now on.”

“I will, don’t worry.” Gu Ning was grateful that He Siyin cared about her.

In fact, it was very hard for others to hurt Gu Ning, unless they could kill her within a second.

As long as she had time, she could save her life with magical power on her own.

…

Leng Shaoting remained silent, but thought to himself that he would do everything to protect his girl.

After that, they talked about their plan to find He Siyang.

“We need to discuss our plan to find my younger brother now, because signals are very weak on the island. Whether we can find him during the day or not, we must meet back at the shore before the sky gets dark. It’s very dangerous to stay on the island at night. There are beasts,” He Yishao said.

Although he was anxious about his younger brother’s safety, he also cared about his friends.

They didn’t know whether He Siyang was still safe, but none of them should be put in danger either.

Chapter 893: An Underground Room

“Well, I hope that you all can listen to me this time,” Gu Ning said with a serious face.

“What do you plan to do?” He Yishao asked.

Everyone looked at Gu Ning.

“Shaoting and I will land on the island first, and the rest of you can stay on the yacht. If He Siyang is kept on the island, He Hongyuan’s people must be there as well. If we all go on to the island, they will probably steal our yacht and leave here with He Siyang. If so, we can’t rescue He Siyang, or chase them without a yacht,” Gu Ning said.

“It’s very dangerous if only the two of you go search for him on the island.” He Yishao was worried.

“Yeah,” He Siyin agreed. “We don’t know how many people they have. If only the two of you go, it is really very dangerous.”

“Relax, even if the rest of you fight together against only the two of us, you won’t win,” Gu Ning said. She wasn’t being arrogant, she was only telling the truth.

What?

Hearing that, He Yishao and the others rounded their eyes in shock.

How good are they at fighting?

Although he and He Siyin were bad at fighting, they brought 10 bodyguards with them, who were great security guards. In ordinary people’s eyes, those bodyguards were threatening enough. However, they were merely nobody in Gu Ning’s eyes.

“Oh, did you beat Hong Yuefei’s people down within a minute outside Gonghao Hotel that day?” He Siyin suddenly remembered.

“Yes,” Gu Ning replied.

“Well, I think you’re right. We’re not your match at all,” He Siyin said.

Hearing that, He Yishao was surprised. Hong Yuefei’s people were all good at fighting. If Gu Ning was able to beat them down within a minute, she must be super good at martial arts.

“My hearing and sense of smell are better than that of ordinary people too, but it could affect my judgment if there are too many people around me. Whether we can find him or not, we’ll come back after two hours,” Gu Ning said at the end.

He Siyang was on the island now, so He Hongyuan’s people must be there too. In case any accidents happened, Gu Ning told Gao Yi and Qiao Ya to stay in the yacht with the others.

He Siyin and He Yishao agreed.

Gao Yi and Qiao Ya listened to Gu Ning, so they stayed in the yacht as she told them to.

After that, Gu Ning walked aside with Qiao Ya, and secretly gave her a gun.

She took this gun away from a bunch of bad guys before. It wasn’t the one that Leng Shaoting gave her.

Qiao Ya was surprised that Gu Ning carried a gun with her without anyone finding it, but she knew that she shouldn’t ask further about it.

Around a dozen minutes later, the yacht moved near to the small island.

It was a cloudy day, and the sky was covered by layers of mist, which looked mysterious and solemn.

Gu Ning told He Yishao to sail around the small island for a round. She needed to have a look first.

When the yacht moved around the small island, Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to observe it.However, because of the distance and mist, Gu Ning couldn’t see very far with her Jade Eyes.

Although this island wasn’t very large, it was quite rugged. Waves were violently beating the rocky reefs at the edge of this island. People could get through from some places, but it was very dangerous to just go close to it.

There was also a large area of cliff, which was nearly 40 meters tall with rocks under it as well.

After moving around the island once, the yacht could only stop at the beach that was around 20 meters long with a few rocks. It was the only access to the small island.

Both Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting took a dagger with them, then got off the yacht together.

“Be careful!”

Although He Siyin and He Yishao believed that they could protect themselves well, they were still worried about them.

“Don’t worry, we will!” Gu Ning comforted them, then walked into the dense trees with Leng Shaoting.

Once they entered the small island, Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to scan around.

Leng Shaoting was also checking the surroundings. Even though he didn’t have Jade Eyes, he had acute senses.

They moved side by side, because they could protect each other.

The roads on the island were a little rough, but it was nothing to Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting. Occasionally, a poisonous snake came out at short notice. Although Leng Shaoting cut it in half every time, Gu Ning was still slightly scared by it. She wasn’t afraid of snakes, but thought that they were disgusting.

After walking a third of the island, they still found nobody on it, so they went to an ancient house with a yard the size of a basketball field that Shen Zhaoxuan had told Gu Ning.

This island wasn’t big after all, so this house looked big on the undeveloped land.

There were few people on this island because it hadn’t been developed yet. The house was still in good condition, and people could directly stay inside after cleaning it.

Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to see inside of the house at once, but saw nobody. Instead, she found a clean room in the house, and it was obvious that some people were staying there.

She believed that they must be He Hongyuan’s people.

Nevertheless, the room was empty now. Those people must have hidden away after noticing their yacht.

Gu Ning was surprised that He Hongyuan’s people knew that they were on the island. Some of them must have been keeping watch by the sea just then, and hid away the second any ships moved near.

Afterwards, Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to see the underground area.

Normally, there were underground rooms or passages in ancient houses of this kind. She wanted to see whether they hid themselves somewhere like that.

She was right. There was indeed an underground room. It wasn’t big, and was about 10 square-meters large. There were people hiding inside whispering to each other, but Gu Ning wasn’t able to hear their conversation.

What confused Gu Ning was that He Siyang wasn’t among them.

Why?

Is He Siyang being kept somewhere else?

Chapter 894: Catch Three People

Since she found them, there was no reason for Gu Ning to let them go. She should catch them and force them to tell her where He Siyang was.

“I think they must have noticed us when our yacht came close and hid themselves somewhere around here. This is an ancient house, so there could be underground rooms or passages. We can search around to see whether they are hiding here,” Gu Ning said. Although she clearly knew where those people were hiding, she had to search for them in order to keep her Jade Eyes a secret.

She wasn’t fully prepared yet to tell Leng Shaoting everything about her. If it was possible, she hoped that no one else would know about her rebirth and Jade Eyes.

“No problem.” Leng Shaoting had the same idea, then started searching.

There weren’t many rooms in the house, so it didn’t take them a long time.

Within 10 minutes, Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning found the room above the underground room.

“This room is obviously cleaner than others. They must have stayed here before,” Leng Shaoting said with certainty.

Afterwards, they began to search for doors to the underground room.

Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes and found the access to the underground door at once, but she couldn’t go and open it right away. Instead, she pretended that she was searching for it before she uncovered it.

There was a slightly protruding brick at the right corner of the door to the underground room.

“Shaoting, look at this brick. It looks different from the others, and I think it might be a switch or something,” Gu Ning said.

Leng Shaoting walked over, and saw that the brick was indeed different. “Step backwards. Let me try it.” He was afraid that it was a trap, so he told Gu Ning to step back.

Gu Ning knew that it was safe, but felt touched that he was willing to protect her. She moved backwards, and Leng Shaoting walked forward to press on the brick. With a loud sound, the wall opened like a door.

The noise alarmed everyone in the underground room. They looked at each other, but didn’t dare to say a word.

Since the person knew about the access to this underground room, they thought that the newcomer should be one of their party. Even so, they still hid in a closet in case any accidents happened. If the person who was walking inside was a stranger, they would kill him or her.

…

After the door was opened, there was a two meter high, half a meter wide, and six meter long passage.

It was completely dark inside, so Gu Ning took out her night-luminescent pearl to light the way before she walked in with Leng Shaoting.

With the help of her Jade Eyes, she noticed that the three of them were hiding in the closet.

After walking through the passage, they were in the middle of the underground room.

The three men in the closet saw Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting through some gaps, and they were stunned by the night-luminescent pearl in Gu Ning’s hand.

What is this? It’s so bright.

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were obviously strangers, because He Hongyuan had told them that he would send people that they knew if he was going to send people to help them.

“Get out now. I know that you’re hiding in the closet.” Gu Ning looked at the closet.

Leng Shaoting also had the feeling that some people were hiding in the closet, so he wasn’t surprised when Gu Ning said that.

Hearing that, the three men in the closet were shocked. Since they were exposed, there was no need for them to hide any longer.

When they walked out, each of them held a short sword in hand, which was used to protect themselves from poisonous snakes and wild animals. In addition, they could use it to catch food since they lived on seafood here.

“Who are you? What are you doing here?” one of the three men asked Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting.

“Where is He Siyang?” Gu Ning moved a step closer, facing them.

The three of them were surprised when they heard that the people came here for He Siyang. However, they had no intention to tell Gu Ning the truth. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I don’t know He Siyang.”

“Oh, really?” Gu Ning didn’t believe a single word he said.

“I don’t know him,” the man insisted. However, their surprised faces already betrayed them when they heard He Siyang’s name just then.

“Don’t regret,” Gu Ning sneered, then gave Leng Shaoting a glance. Without delay, Leng Shaoting attacked the three men.

Gu Ning also moved to catch them.

Although the three men weren’t weak, they were barely comparable to Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting, so they were soon beaten down on the ground.

After that, Gu Ning took out ropes, and tied them up.

The three men were astonished again by Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting’s high level of martial arts.

“Tell us, where He Siyang is?” Gu Ning coldly questioned them.

“We don’t know…” They still refused to tell Gu Ning where He Siyang was.

“If you don’t know, what are you doing on this deserted island?” Gu Ning asked with a sneer.

“W-We’re gravediggers and we heard that there are real antiques on this island, so we came here to search for treasure,” one of them said.

“Gravediggers? Don’t you think that I’ve seen a gravedigger before? Don’t lie to my face,” Gu Ning said.

The man was struck dumb.

“Are you going to tell us, or not? If not, we can bury you right here.” Gu Ning threatened them.

“I-It’s illegal to kill people!” They still tried to struggle.

Chapter 895: He Siyang Escaped

“It’s illegal? I’m not afraid of the law at all!” Gu Ning arrogantly said to frighten them. Sometimes, it was necessary to be cruel.

Gu Ning wouldn’t promise that she wouldn’t kill people, but the person had to be her enemy or a criminal before she killed.

The three men didn’t know how to retort now. Since Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting came here to find He Siyang, they must have some relationship with the He family. The He family was a well-known, influential family in HK, and it was very easy for them to kill and bury three unimportant people. They hesitated.

“Oh, by the way, He Hongyuan lost the gambling competition, so he can barely protect himself now, let alone you,” Gu Ning said.

Hearing that, the three of them were in despair.

Master Hongyuan lost?

They had received He Hongyuan’s call an hour ago, and He Hongyuan ordered them to find He Siyang as soon as possible. It sounded like it was an emergency.

They wondered back then whether He Hongyuan had already lost the competition, otherwise he wouldn’t have given that urgent order. If He Hongyuan was the winner, he wouldn’t ask for He Siyang in such a hurry.

They were worried that they would live a bad life if He Hongyuan lost. So although they didn’t know the final result of the competition, they still had to do their job well.

However, now Gu Ning told them that He Hongyuan was the loser, and they started to panic.

After hesitating for a while, they gave in. “Will you let us go if we tell you the truth?”

“As long as He Siyang is safe and sound. Your lives will be safe at least,” Gu Ning said. It wasn’t up to her how to punish them.

The three men didn’t know whether they should trust Gu Ning, but they could at least stay alive if they told her the truth. They didn’t dare to fight back after all.

The three of them exchanged a glance with each other.

Seeing that, Gu Ning thought that He Siyang was in danger, so she was annoyed at once. “Is He Siyang in danger?”

Leng Shaoting was a little jealous that Gu Ning cared about He Siyang so much, although he knew that she was just helping the He family.

“No, no,” they denied it without hesitation. If Gu Ning believed that they had hurt He Siyang, they would be killed right away.

“He Siyang just had some minor injuries, b-but he escaped yesterday afternoon. We’ve been searching for him all day, but he’s nowhere to be found.”

“What? He escaped?” Gu Ning cocked her eyebrow. “Are you telling me the truth?”

“Yes! Although we captured He Siyang, we didn’t dare to do anything to him without Master Hongyuan’s order. He Siyang escaped yesterday when we weren’t paying attention to him. Ten of us have searched for him for a long time, but he’s still missing. The three of us went to the beach to search for him because it’s the only access to this island, but we noticed a yacht, so we ran back and hid.”

He’s still missing?

Gu Ning frowned. It wasn’t good news. There were poisonous snakes and wild animals on this island. Besides, he could also fall down the cliffs and be washed away by the waves!

“Let’s go search for him somewhere else!” Gu Ning said to Leng Shaoting, and was about to leave.

Just as she turned, she stopped and coldly looked at the three men. “You better stay here. If any of you wants to run away, your life will be in danger. Good luck.”

Afterwards, she left the underground room with Leng Shaoting.

The three men were scared, because they knew that there couldn’t be only two of Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting on this island. They must have come with their people as well. Besides, they were fastened by ropes right now!

…

A short while later, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting ran into two men. It was obvious that the two men didn’t know that there were strangers on this island, so they swaggered over.

“We’ve searched around this island, but He Siyang is still nowhere to be found! I’m exhausted,” Man A complained in annoyance. He couldn’t wait to have a rest.

“Although this island isn’t very large, it isn’t easy to find someone. Come on, we still have to keep on searching. It’s Master Hongyuan’s order anyway,” Man B said.

“Tie Ge, why did Master Hongyuan order us to find He Siyang as soon as possible all of a sudden? Did he lose the competition, so he wants to hold He Siyang hostage?” Man A guessed.

“Stop guessing randomly. We just need to do our job.” Man B thought that they better not discuss the topic.

Man A pulled his lips. He was a little displeased.

“Who are you?”

They finally noticed a man and a woman standing not too far from them.

“We came here to find you,” Gu Ning said, then walked towards them, followed by Leng Shaoting.

“Who the hell are you?” Man A asked again.

Gu Ning didn’t bother to waste time on them. She gave Leng Shaoting a glance again, and they attacked the two men at the same time.

Seeing that, the two men fought back at once, but were soon under Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting’s control. Gu Ning also tied them up with ropes before she gagged their mouths with rags.

She knew that they didn’t know where was He Siyang, so she and Leng Shaoting kept on searching for He Siyang after tying them up properly.

After walking for a while, they encountered another two men, and Gu Ning directly tied them to a tree.

They had searched for nearly two thirds of the island, but still failed to find He Siyang. That being the case, it was very likely that He Siyang was in danger.

Chapter 896: Find He Siyang

Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes along the way, so she could see every corner on and under the ground. There could be caves or tunnels after all.

A short while later, a secret passage appeared in Gu Ning’s sight. It was two meters high and around a meter wide.

Seeing it, Gu Ning walked inside.

The secret passage led back to the direction of the ancient house, but Gu Ning didn’t know the specific location of its end because it was too far away. However, she found that it led towards the sea.

They walked ahead for around 20 meters, before reaching an empty cavern.

It was very high with its top being about 30 meters above the ground. It was also very large.

At the bottom of it was a puddle, and a boat was stopped on it. Piles of wooden boxes were placed in the boat.

The second Gu Ning found out what was in the boxes, she got excited. This was a treasure trove!

There was another underpass in the cavern, which was much wider and higher than the previous one. Its height was about five meters and the width was a little more than three meters, which was big enough to accommodate the boat.

The second underpass was a narrow waterway that led to the seaside.

Gu Ning knew that there were rocks at the seaside, so this boat couldn’t leave.

Luckily, water flowed freely beneath the waterway to the sea, so Gu Ning could get inside by swimming.

“Ningning, what’s wrong?” Leng Shaoting was a little worried when Gu Ning gazing into space for a long time.

“Oh, nothing.” Gu Ning turned to look at him.

Since Gu Ning said that she was fine, Leng Shaoting didn’t ask further.

Even though Gu Ning ached to get those valuable things, she had to find He Siyang first, and she would come back again when she was free in the future. They only had an hour left now, and they had to find He Siyang as soon as possible.

In the beginning, Gu Ning was confident that they could find He Siyang within two hours, but now she was losing her confidence.

He Siyang escaped, so Gu Ning was anxious that something bad might have happened.

Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning went to the reefs by the sea, and saw two wolves walking around a sharp rock. It seemed like they were looking for something.

Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes at once, and was frightened the moment she saw what was there.

Just below the reef, there was a black hole, which wasn’t large. It was about a meter long and a meter high, but half of it was filled with cold water. And in it was a young man with a pale face trembling from the cold. He was still conscious without serious injuries or illnesses.

The man was precisely He Siyang who they were searching for.

If Gu Ning didn’t have a pair of Jade Eyes, nobody would find out that He Siyang was inside even if he died. Ordinary people wouldn’t go near because of the wolves.

“Wolves are sensitive to blood and smells. Why don’t we go down there to have a look?” Gu Ning said.

“Sure.” Leng Shaoting followed Gu Ning, walking over.

As for the two wolves, they weren’t afraid of them at all.

Once the two wolves sensed that humans were coming closer, they turned to glare at Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting, then howled loudly. They were saying that they were the rulers of this place, and forbade other animals from coming closer.

The two men who were also looking for He Siyang stopped without delay after hearing the wolves’ howl. They were frightened and turned in another direction at once.

Even He Siyang who was hiding under the reef trembled in fear.

If it hadn’t been for the wolves, he wouldn’t have been hiding under the reef all this time. The cold was killing him.

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting walked towards them step by step with a dagger squeezed in their hands. They fixed their eyes on them, trying to scare them away.

Although Leng Shaoting could directly shoot them with a gun, they didn’t want to kill them if they could chase them away. If they refused to leave, he would consider shooting at them. They were violent animals, but they were also innocent.

The two wolves felt Gu Ning’s and Leng Shaoting’s strong power, so they subconsciously stepped backwards. However, they didn’t run away. Instead they attacked Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting the next second.

Leng Shaoting had to pull out his gun and shoot one of them. With a loud gunshot, a wolf fell on the ground and rolled a distance away.

A gunshot!

He Siyang was stunned, and he knew that someone was coming with a gun. It was a good thing for him if the wolves left, but he didn’t know whether the person was his enemy or friend, so he remained silent.

The two men who came here to search for He Siyang were also scared. They looked at each other, but didn’t know what to do next.

“Why was there a gunshot? None of our team has a gun,” Man C said.

“Is there a stranger on this island?” Man D said.

“Do we need to have a look?” Man C asked.

“I don’t think we should.” Man D thought that they should protect themselves first.

“Right, we better hide first,” Man C said.

Leng Shaoting moved his gun to aim at the other wolf. Gu Ning also threw her dagger to hit the wolf.

Under the attack of a gun and a dagger, the wolf fell on the ground in pain.

Although the two wolves weren’t dead yet, they couldn’t get back to their paws.

Chapter 897: He Siyang Is Rescued.

There was a short distance between the reef and the sea. Although waves kept hitting it, half of the hole was still empty, otherwise He Siyang would already have been drowned.

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting observed the reef for a while first to see whether it was different from others. They soon noticed that there was a separate rock placed on it. It was supposed to be the entrance of the hole, but He Siyang closed it with a rock to prevent others from finding him.

The entrance was wide enough for a person to get in, and the rock placed on it was as big as a 20-inch suitcase.

Ordinary people probably wouldn’t notice the difference, because they weren’t able to see the hole under the rock.

Thanks to the two wolves, Gu Ning had an excuse to point the difference out.

“Why don’t we move the rock away?” Gu Ning proposed.

“Sure, let me do it,” Leng Shaoting said.

Although the waves were loudly hitting the reef, He Siyang still heard Gu Ning’s conversation with Leng Shaoting. He was surprised that they could notice that the rock was unusual. Once the rock was moved away, he would be exposed. Given his condition now, it was impossible for him to fight back.

Leng Shaoting soon turned the rock over, and the hole under it appeared in Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting’s sight, which surprised Leng Shaoting. He couldn’t believe that there was a large hole under the reef.

He Siyang was hiding in the farthest corner, so Leng Shaoting didn’t find him at first glance.

Without hesitation, Leng Shaoting stuck his head inside, and found a person sitting there looking at him.

“He Siyang?”

Leng Shaoting recognize him the second he saw his face, because he memorized He Siyang’s photo before he came.

To Leng Shaoting’s astonishment, He Siyang was right in this hole.

Hearing that, Gu Ning looked inside as well. Although she already knew it, she still had to pretend that she was surprised too. “Oh, he’s here!”

“Who are you?”

Hearing them calling his name, He Siyang was struck dumb. He had a feeling that they were looking for him.

“We’re your family’s friends. Your older brother, He Yishao, and your younger sister, He Siyin, are here with us. They are waiting in a yacht by the beach. I know that you don’t feel safe, so I can call them for you to hear their voices,” Gu Ning said, and took out her phone to call He Siyin, then put it on speaker.

She didn’t have He Yishao’s phone number, so she could only call He Siyin. And because they were by the sea now, the reception wasn’t bad.

He Siyang started to believe that they were here to help him out when Gu Ning took out her phone.

…

He Yishao and the others had waited for an hour and a half in the yacht, which was a torture, but they had to be patient.

The brothers in the He family in He Hongjie’s generation didn’t get along, but things were different in He Yishao’s generation. He Yishao and his siblings got along very well, and they wouldn’t fight against each other for family properties.

He Yishao was good at business, while He Siyang was talented at gambling. He Siyang wasn’t interested in, nor good at running a company, and he just wanted to live a simple, rich life.

When He Siyin’s phone rang, she picked it up at once. “Gu Ning, how is it?”

He Siyang almost cried when he heard He Siyin’s voice, and relaxed a lot.

“We just found him, and he’s lightly injured. We’ll bring him back soon,” Gu Ning said.

“Really? Thanks!” He Siyin burst into tears of joy.

He Siyang felt like crying too. He thought that he would never get back to his family.

“Can I talk to him?” He Yishao grabbed He Siyin’s phone.

“Sure, but please wait a moment,” Gu Ning said, then looked at He Siyang. “You should believe me this time. Get out now.”

He Siyang trusted her, and got out of the hole at once.

Leng Shaoting reached out an arm to help him out because his limbs were sore.

Gu Ning already put her phone on speaker, so He Siyang could directly talk to his older brother without holding the phone.

“Yishao, it’s Siyang. I’m fine.” He Siyang choked.

“Great, great, Siyang…” He Yishao also choked.

After hanging up the call, He Yishao called He Hongjie without delay.

…

Gu Ning took out a power crystal and gave it to He Siyang. “Take it, and your body will be much better.”

“Thanks.” He Siyang didn’t wonder if there was any problem with this medicine. He thanked Gu Ning before he directly swallowed it. Since they came here to bring him home, there was no need for them to hurt him.

The second he put the pill into his mouth, he felt a flow of coolness spreading across his body. He was regaining his energy and didn’t feel tired any longer.

“Wow, this…” He Siyang looked at Gu Ning with surprise. “This medicine is so effective!”

“How do you feel now? Can you walk on your own?” Gu Ning asked.

“Sure I can.” He Siyang stood up at once, then stretched his arms. He even felt more energetic than usual now.

Chapter 898: Talkative He Siyang

“Let’s go now!” Gu Ning said.

“Sure!” He Siyang said, then walked back with them.

As for those valuable objects, Gu Ning couldn’t take them away right now.

She decided to come alone in the future. If she came here alone, she could directly put them into her telepathic eye space, which would be the easiest way for her to move them back to her place.

“Um, I just heard Siyin call you Gu Ning, so your name is Gu Ning, right?” He Siyang was talkative, and chatted with Gu Ning while they walked.

Leng Shaoting was always wearing a cold face, so he thought that Gu Ning was more easy-going.

“Yes,” Gu Ning answered.

“Which city are you from?” He Siyang asked.

“Well, I came here from City B,” Gu Ning said.

“Oh, City B is a very beautiful advanced city. I love it.” He Siyang’s eyes lit up.

Although there were many local citizens in HK who hated people from other cities, He Siyang was different from them. He Siyang had visited many other cities before, and he enjoyed his trips. He loved beautiful nature views the most.

“You’re welcome to visit City B!” Gu Ning said.

“Ha-ha, thanks. Which city were you born in? I can visit your city once I’m free, and you can be my tour guide. How about it?” He Siyang would like to be closer to Gu Ning.

Gu Ning didn’t think that it was a bad thing, but Leng Shaoting was displeased. He coldly stared at He Siyang’s back, which made He Siyang feel uneasy. However, He Siyang didn’t think further about it. He just thought that he felt a little cold in his wet clothing.

Gu Ning also sensed Leng Shaoting’s dissatisfaction, but she could do nothing about it. “Well, I’m afraid I don’t have much time to be your tour guide. I’m always busy.”

Hearing that, He Siyang understood that she was declining.

“Oh, it’s fine. If you’re free, please give me a call. If not, I won’t bother you,” He Siyang said. He was very considerate and wouldn’t interrupt Gu Ning if she needed to deal with something serious.

After walking ahead for a short while, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting noticed the two men not far from them, but the two men missed them.

When He Siyang was about to say something again, Gu Ning stopped him.

“There are two men ahead of us. Be quiet,” Gu Ning said.

Knowing that, He Siyang shut his mouth at once. He didn’t know that both Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were excellent at fighting, so he was afraid that He Hongyuan’s people would catch him again.

“Shaoting, tie them for now,” Gu Ning said, and took out ropes from her backpack.

Those men just did their job, and they hadn’t hurt He Siyang after all, so Gu Ning wouldn’t kill them. Nevertheless, they still abducted He Siyang, and she had to bring them back to let the He family deal with it.

“No problem.” Leng Shaoting took the ropes, then strode towards the two men.

“Gu Ning, can he handle it?” He Siyang was worried.

“Of course he can,” Gu Ning said.

Leng Shaoting didn’t bother to hide his movements, so the two men soon noticed him.

“Who are you?” The two men were alert the second Leng Shaoting showed up.

Leng Shaoting ignored their question and directly attacked them.

The two men fought back at once, but they were barely comparable to Leng Shaoting, and were easily caught by him. Both of the men were struck dumb.

“Who the hell are you? Why did you catch us? Let me go!” A man struggled.

“The He family,” Leng Shaoting coldly said. Hearing that, the two men closed their mouths in an instant.

The He family catching them was obviously because of He Siyang.

Leng Shaoting pulled them back to Gu Ning. No matter how unwilling the two men were, they had to follow Leng Shaoting.

He Siyang didn’t notice how Leng Shaoting beat them, but he saw Leng Shaoting walking back with them tied up after just a minute, which shocked him. “Jesus, he’s so awesome!”

Gu Ning smiled, but didn’t say a word, and felt proud of her boyfriend.

Before long, Leng Shaoting pulled the two men in front of them, and the two men rounded their eyes in shock when they saw He Siyang.

They had searched for He Siyang for so long in vain, but Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were able to find him before them.

He Siyang, however, got angry when he saw the two men. “I told you that I’d pay you back once I catch you.”

Saying that, He Siyang walked to them, then punched and kicked them with great force.

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting didn’t stop him.

Chapter 899: He Siyang Talks Too Much

He Siyang didn’t dare to fight against them if they weren’t tied up, because he wasn’t their match. However, they were tightly tied now, and weren’t able to fight back, so He Siyang did everything he wanted to do to hurt them.

Although He Siyang couldn’t wait to kill them, he knew that it was illegal, so he stopped beating them after a while.After that, they walked together to the beach.

“Oh, why are my older brother and younger sister just waiting for me at the beach?” He Siyang asked Gu Ning all of a sudden.

He Siyang felt a little uncomfortable when He Yishao and He Siyin didn’t come to search for him in person.

Gu Ning understood his feelings.

“I told them to do so, because we didn’t know that you had already escaped. We thought that you were still captured by He Hongyuan’s people. If we all left to search for you, He Hongyuan’s people could escape with you in our yacht. We didn’t want that to happen, and I was confident that we could find you within two hours, so I told them to wait for us in the yacht.” Gu Ning explained.

Hearing that, He Siyang nodded and was cheered up.

“How did you know that I was under the reef?” He Siyang asked again.

Gu Ning then told him that they saw the wolves, and He Siyang admired her and Leng Shaoting more than ever now.

Because Gu Ning was talking with He Siyang the entire time, Leng Shaoting felt utterly displeased.

Gu Ning, on the other hand, wore a resigned look. He Siyang was talking to her all the time, and she couldn’t ignore him.

He Siyang only remained silent for a minute, then asked Gu Ning once more, “Oh, I heard that He Hongyuan had a competition against the He family for the leading position today. What’s the result?”

Although He Siyang was caught, he heard many discussions from He Hongyuan’s people, so he managed to know something about the gambling competition. He cared about the result because he was a member of the He family after all.

“Relax, the He family won,” Gu Ning said.

“Really?” He Siyang beamed. “That’s wonderful!”

The two men, who were He Hongyuan’s people, were surprised to learn the news, but soon accepted it.

“I heard them say that my father’s hearing isn’t good now. Who helped my family to win the game? Is he a skilled gambler?” He Siyang asked.

Although he was a talented gambler, he wasn’t confident that he could beat Fan Zhihao in the gambling competition.

Gu Ning thought that He Siyang talked too much, but she understood him. It was a very important event for his family.

“I helped your family win the game,” Gu Ning said with a faint smile on her lips.

“What?” He Siyang was shocked, because Gu Ning was a female and she looked to be around 24 years old!

Gu Ning was still in the appearance of “Tang Aining”. If He Siyang found out that she was only 18, he would be stunned.

“Yeah, it was me,” Gu Ning said, and felt amused by He Siyang’s reaction.

He Siyang was struck dumb for a few seconds before he asked, “How many rounds did you win?”

“Almost every round. He barely won a few times,” Gu Ning said.

It was the truth. Fan Zhihao had just won a few times, and Gu Ning won almost every round.

“Every round?”

He Siyang was short of words to describe how astonished he was right now.

When He Siyang wanted to ask something again, he heard He Siyin’s voice.

“Siyang!”

He Siyin ran to He Siyang, followed by He Yishao and several bodyguards.

He Yishao and He Siyin got off the yacht once they knew that He Siyang was safe, and they walked to the beach, waiting for them.

The second He Siyang showed up, He Yishao and He Siyin got excited and ran towards him.

There were four children in the He family. If they ranked according to their ages from the eldest to the youngest, they were He Yishao, He Siyang, He Sihan, and He Siyin.

Among the four kids, He Yishao’s name was different from the others, because there was no “Si” in his name. In fact, He Yishao was a half-brother of the other three kids of He Hongjie.

He Yishao’s mother had postpartum hemorrhaging after his birth, and soon passed away. Three years later, He Hongjie married his second wife, who was He Yishao’s three siblings’s mother.

He Hongjie’s second wife treated He Yishao very well, and regarded him as her own son. Mrs. He also taught her biological children not to take what didn’t belong to them from the He family’s properties. Therefore, the four siblings were very close.

He Sihan worked abroad as an internationally famous clothing designer, so she didn’t know about what had happened to the He family yet.

“Siyin, Yishao!” He Siyang ran to He Yishao and He Siyin at once, and totally forgot what he wanted to ask Gu Ning.

“Siyang, are you alright?” He Siyin burst into tears.

“Yeah, I’m fine!” He Siyang hit his chest with his own fist to show that he was still strong. “Alright, stop crying, my beautiful younger sister.”

“Ha-ha.” He Siyin laughed with tears in her eyes.

“Come on, let’s go to the yacht. I need to take a warm shower right now!” He Siyang said.

bye,” He Siyang said, then walked to the bathroom, but he stopped after a few steps. “Um, Gu Ning, I need to take a shower and change my clothes now,” he said to Gu Ning.

“Great, bye,” Gu Ning said, and He Siyang left.

He Siyang’s behavior displeased Leng Shaoting again.

He Yishao and He Siyin also exchanged a glance with each other. He Siyang treated Gu Ning differently. However, no matter what He Siyang thought of Gu Ning, Gu Ning already had a boyfriend now.

Even though they didn’t know much about Leng Shaoting, they understood that he must be very outstanding given Gu Ning’s unusual ability.

Since the He family planned to maintain a good relationship with Gu Ning, they better not annoy her.

“How will you deal with them? There are 10 of them in all. Three are kept in the underground room of the ancient house; four are tied to trees; here are two, and we haven’t caught the last one yet,” Gu Ning said.

Looking at He Hongyuan’s people, both He Yishao and He Siyin were mad. He Yishao said, “They’re unkind people, but Siyang is safe and sound now, so we can’t kill them. We can let Siyang vent his anger after he puts on clean clothes, and we can throw their phones into the sea before we leave them on this island.”

It was the He family’s family affair after all, so Gu Ning agreed with them.

Afterwards, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went to have a rest on the yacht.

“I’m going to City M tomorrow, and I’ll stay there for two days or so. Will you go there with me?” Gu Ning asked Leng Shaoting.

“I’m not sure yet. If I’m not assigned any tasks, I can go with you,” Leng Shaoting said. Once there was an important task, he had to go to fulfill it without hesitation.

Around an hour later, they went back to HK.

…

Today was also the opening day of Kamei Beauty Salon in City B, which caused a sensation.

Existing customers showed up first, along with several new customers. And many of them called their friends once they found out that the brand of skincare products used was Kouzi.

More and more women became Kouzi’s loyal fans after trying it on their faces.

Within a short time, the large store was filled with people.

Not every one of them would buy a whole set of Kouzi, but more than two thirds of them did, which were very good sales.

The store was always crowded during the morning, and none of the staff members had a break until noon. Luckily, they had eaten more at breakfast, so they weren’t hungry.

Manager Ding sent Gu Ning many pictures which showed the popularity of the store when she was free.

Seeing those pictures, Gu Ning beamed with satisfaction.

“Why are you beaming?” He Siyin asked with curiosity.

Gu Ning looked at He Siyin, and an idea dawned on her. “What skincare brands do you use normally?”

“Chanel, Dior, and so forth, but my skin doesn’t get much better,” He Siyin said. She wasn’t satisfied with her skin condition. Once she put on some make-up, it would soon be oily.

“I strongly recommend a new brand to you. Although it’s new, it’s going to be an international brand,” Gu Ning said, promoting her own brand.

“Really? What is it? As long as it’s effective, I don’t care whether it’s famous or not,” He Siyin said, and her eyes lit up. She trusted Gu Ning.

“It’s called Kouzi, and you can search it on the Internet,” Gu Ning said.

“Great!” He Siyin took out her phone at once.

After reading many comments about Kouzi on the Internet, He Siyin had a good impression of it.

Countless people said that Kouzi had saved their skin. In addition, the whole set of Kouzi skincare products was effective and functional.

Many loyal fans of Kouzi also posted their before and after photos of their skins, which were quite persuasive.

“Is it really so effective?” He Siyin couldn’t believe it.

“I have some of it with me right now, so you can try its facial masks,” Gu Ning said.

“Great, thanks!” He Siyin was excited. She would know its effect after trying it in person.

…

When they were back in HK, it was already 6 pm. He Yishao had told his people to prepare a meal for them, but he and He Siyang had to leave to deal with something else first.

In order to show their politeness and sincerity, He Siyin stayed.

Gu Ning didn’t care about it, but it was impolite if she left right away.

A group of them waited together for the elevator to come, but the man who walked out of it was surprised when the door of the elevator opened. He didn’t expect to meet Leng Shaoting here.

The man was precisely Xu Jinlin.
