Chapter 89: A Second Exposure! The Founding Queen of the Shadow League!
Lei Xiao pursed his lips and continued to dial Gu Mang’s phone number. This time, the call was picked up very quickly.
“Gu Mang, I’m going to cut to the chase.” Lei Xiao’s tone of voice calmed down. “State your terms in order for you to stop pursuing the matter with Ruan Qingqing from school.”
Gu Mang looked at the pale-faced Meng Jinyang and squinted. “Gu Yin would have to make a transfer.”
Lei Xiao’s face turned grim. “Are you human! She’s your sister! How can you treat her like this?!”
The words reached Gu Yin’s ears. Upon hearing that, she panicked and muttered quietly, “Uncle.”
Lei Xiao gave her a reassuring look and said, “Gu Mang, the Ruans have already said that you may state your terms in order for you to stop pursuing this matter. You have to be clear-headed and be careful not to offend people whom you cannot afford to offend.”
Gu Mang cocked her eyebrows. “Go on.”
“If you give up pursuing the matter, the Ruans will give you a significant sum of money as compensation. I’ll allow you and Meng Jinyang to live in the Lei residence until you graduate from university,” Lei Xiao said in a charitable tone.
Gu Mang looked down and gave a soft chuckle.
The cool, grim laughter frustrated Lei Xiao, his eyebrows knitting together tightly.
“Uncle, didn’t you watch as I grew up? You should know how my temper is,” Gu Mang said slowly as she gave off an intimidating pressure. “Now that the decision has fallen upon me, we have to go by my rules. I said that we can only keep one of them, so we can only keep one of them, do you understand?”
Hearing this, Lei Xiao’s breathing became heavy. “Gu Mang, you are courting trouble! The Ruans won’t let you off for this.”
Gu Mang didn’t show much emotion. “It seems that Uncle is protecting Gu Yin. Think of how you should answer to the Ruans.”
“Gu Mang…”
Before he could finish speaking, the call was hung up. Lei Xiao’s face became grave and gloomy. What an insolent brat!
Gu Yin glanced at Lei Xiao’s expression, pursed her lips, and said softly, “I’m sorry, Uncle. I only said casually that sister was expelled from school because of a fight in the past. I didn’t know that Ruan Qingqing would do such a thing.”
Lei Xiao calmed himself. “That’s the end of this matter. Don’t worry about it and focus on your studies.”
Gu Yin said obediently, “Okay.”
Just then, Xia Mingzhu, Lei Xiao’s wife, came back home carrying many bags in her hands. “Hubby, Yinyin, I’m back.”
Gu Yin smiled, “Aunt.”
…
Gu Mang and Meng Jinyang stayed at Seal Palace that night.
The apartment was very quiet. Gu Mang was sitting on the carpet in the living room. The light from the computer fell upon her face, casting shadows behind her. Her pretty face was hazy, mysterious, and dignified.
Lin Shuang said ferociously, “Little Sister Gu, if it’s inconvenient for you to make a move, tell me, and I’ll wipe out the Ruans for you! How dare they provoke the founding queen of our Shadow League! I won’t kill them!”
Eight years ago, the Shadow League completed the world’s most impossible mission and became one of the four major hacker organizations and the leader of the four organizations in half a year.
This was news that spread outside, and it was also one of few sentences from Gu Mang within the organization. Hackers within the organization worshiped Gu Mang. In fact, Gu Mang was the only person in this organization called Shadow League. The girl, less than ten years old then, had totally owned already famous international hackers. Even now no one could surpass her.
Later, it was after Gu Mang found Yun Ling from some corner of the world to join her that Shadow League slowly began to recruit people.
There was only one purpose: to make money.
Gu Mang’s annual expenditure was at least two or three hundred million on every item.
Half of it was used on medical research and the other half was spent on Meng Jinyang.
Meng Jinyang’s medical expenses cost a hundred and twenty million.
This was why Gu Mang was always so poor.
