CHAPTER 24: CHAPTER 24: SUSPICION

EDITOR: ENDLESSFANTASY TRANSLATION

Gu Ningyue didn’t fully display her skills at Shenghua Club last time, but now, not long after, they send people to her to practice on, which suits her perfectly.

However, perhaps thinking she’s a fragile, wealthy lady, they didn’t all attack at once.

Two or three men rushed forward to grab her hand, but they couldn’t even get close.

"—Ahhhhh!" In just a moment, those two or three men were already on the ground, groaning, powerless to fight back.

The remaining people stood still, completely intimidated by Gu Ningyue’s gallant and impressive presence.

She seemed so fragile, yet her strikes were swift and decisive, leaving no chance for anyone to touch her.

Someone murmured softly, "Why didn’t anyone tell us she knows martial arts! Damn it!"

"How the hell would I know.." If they had known, they never would have taken this job!

Gu Ningyue’s eyes flashed, the shawl she used as a weapon was already back on her shoulders: "So, are we still fighting? If so, let’s talk?"

The remaining people were about to charge forward when the leader suddenly stopped them: "What do you want to talk about?"

Gu Ningyue folded her arms, glanced at the black-clad men on the ground hugging their knees and arms: "Who sent you here?"

They just said they didn’t know she knew martial arts, it definitely wasn’t Long Zhihai.

Because that day at Shenghua Club, Long Zhihai saw her in action.

But if it wasn’t Long Zhihai, then who deliberately invited her here?

Could it be Ye Mingchen, retaliating because she embarrassed him?

No! Impossible!

To let her fulfill his union with Gu Wanwan, how could he do something so foolish!

"Sorry, we take people’s money to relieve their troubles." The leader looked at Gu Ningyue: "We’re not your match, today, we admit defeat."

A wise man avoids immediate losses; they came to teach someone a lesson, not to be taught one.

Clearly, they understood this.

Seeing them support their colleagues and prepare to leave, Gu Ningyue sneered coldly: "Stop!"

She drove forty minutes to get here, and they’re leaving without giving any information?

"Either leave the name of your employer or leave yourselves!"

If they harass her once, they must pay some price.

The group exchanged glances, and the leader waved his hand: "Go!"

They wouldn’t lose their pride, getting scared by a young girl and letting it spread would be too humiliating!

Seven or eight people clashed with Gu Ningyue, fists and kicks colliding, the curve of Gu Ningyue’s lips deepening gradually.

These people have some skills, good for her to practice.

After ten minutes, even the arrogant one from earlier was lying on the ground.

Gu Ningyue stood above them, her eyes cold: "Still won’t speak? Do I need to enlighten you on the crimes of robbery and attempted rape?"

She was now in absolute control, some of them likely had criminal records, so their pupils dilated when they heard her words.

"You have no proof, what grounds do you have to accuse us?" One still somewhat lucid, gritted his teeth and questioned her.

Gu Ningyue blew on her freshly done nails, how unfortunate they got scratched: "I have call logs, someone invited me here. In due time, do you think you can escape responsibility? You better not forget, who my fiancé is."

Mentioning Ling Tianyou, the initially cocky black-clad men immediately fell silent.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind: "Ning Yue!"

Gu Ningyue turned around with surprise, seeing Ling Tianyou striding swiftly from a distance.

Though she expected he might come, her heart was prepared, yet seeing him truly appear made her happy.

"What happened?" Ling Tianyou asked nervously, pulling Gu Ningyue into his arms, "Did they do anything to you?"

Black-clad men: "..." Mr. Qi, are you blind? Clearly, she did something to us!

Gu Ningyue nestled into Ling Tianyou’s chest, whining, "They wanted to bully me, oh, it’s so scary! Quickly call the police and have them arrested!"

Ling Tianyou: "..."

Black-clad men: "..."

Ling Tianyou suddenly saw clearly: "Are you sure you weren’t the more terrifying one? What’s really going on? Hmm?"

Gu Ningyue pouted, leaving his embrace: "How boring! Someone called me over, then they showed up. I asked who sent them, but they wouldn’t say no matter what."

In dramas, aren’t domineering CEOs always fragile little flowers? Why does it change here?

Ling Tianyou looked at the bruised and battered men on the ground, a wave of doubt rolling in his mind, "So, you beat them up like this?"

His wife clearly has hidden skills!

"I didn’t! I’m a weak girl with no strength to kill a chicken, how could I go around fighting?" Gu Ningyue’s Caslan eyes twinkled, "They were just too weak and lacked training!"

Black-clad men: "..." Weak girl my ass, they’re damn weak...

Ling Tianyou: "..." He suddenly felt his little wife wasn’t so delicate anymore!

Under pressure from Ling Tianyou, those who wouldn’t speak finally spilled who sent them.

"It was Nan Shaoyue who sent us, said someone disliked her, so spent some money to teach her a lesson! Beyond that, nothing else was said."

Gu Ningyue furrowed her brow slightly, she had never even heard of this name.

"Get lost! Don’t let me see you again, or I’ll make you disappear from A City for good!"

They scrambled away, and Gu Ningyue asked Ling Tianyou: "Do you know who Nan Shaoyue is?"

Ling Tianyou nodded, "He’s someone in the underworld, I heard he won the national Taekwondo championship back in college. But he’s a bit of a jerk, as long as there’s money, almost nothing he won’t do. This time, he probably wasn’t the mastermind."

A national Taekwondo champion, must be skilled; if there’s a chance, Gu Ningyue would like to meet him.

"They suffered a loss this time, probably will return." Gu Ningyue straightened her shawl, "I want to investigate this matter."

"Alright." Ling Tianyou suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her entirely into his embrace: "Before that, tell me, how do you know martial arts? Your résumé doesn’t mention this."

He’d been suspicious since the Shenghua Club incident, and seeing it firsthand today, naturally raised doubts.

After all, the change in Gu Ningyue was truly significant.
