Chapter 1970: I Have My Pride

After Gu Ning’s friends ran away, she followed Owen to a place far from the crowd. Then Owen directly asked her, “It’s you who rescued me, right?”

Although he was sure that the person was Gu Ning, he needed to hear the answer from her mouth, because he could only continue after she admitted it.

“Since you already found me and asked me that question, you must know it’s me.” Gu Ning didn’t deny it. “Sir, do you have something else to talk about with me? If you only want to thank me, I accept it. Please don’t worry, I’ll never tell anyone about that.”

“You’re very smart and you easily saw through me. Well, I need to thank you for saving my life first. In order to prove that, you can ask me to do one thing for you. As long as it isn’t beyond my abilities, I promise I’ll do it. Then I do hope you can keep it between us. Anyway, you already said you’ll never tell anyone about that, so thank you again,” said Owen. After that, he handed Gu Ning a name card. “This is my name card. There are two numbers on it. One is used in your country, while the other is used in my country, Country Y, because I don’t stay in your country often.”

“Sure, thanks. I won’t hesitate to contact you if I need your help.” Gu Ning took his name card to set his mind at rest and because she could see that he wasn’t an ordinary man.

Owen didn’t feel relieved until Gu Ning took his name card.

“See you,” said Owen, then he walked away. Without delay, Gu Ning put the name card into her telepathic eye s.p.a.ce.

…

Gu Ning was absent from cla.s.ses again after coming to the school for only two days. She was absent for most of the time, but her head teacher and cla.s.smates were already used to it.

At the beginning, some cla.s.smates felt it was unfair, and there were people who were dissatisfied with Gu Ning’s behavior too, but they could do nothing about it. Gu Ning still came and went as she wanted.

After the cla.s.ses were over in the afternoon, Gu Ning walked out of their school. In the distance, she felt the air of a cultivator, then she saw Dongfang Qi.

Gu Ning couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She complained to herself that those people really had nothing to do. They couldn’t get any useful information, but wouldn’t stop following her. Didn’t they need to cultivate?

Actually, they followed her for their cultivation, because some of them wanted the magical power while some wanted the Jade with Dragon Phoenix Cloud Pattern.

However, this time, Dongfang Qi didn’t bother to hide himself, and stood out to see Gu Ning.

“Miss Gu, can we have a private talk?” Dongfang Qi asked Gu Ning politely. He had no intention of forcing her to go with him.

“Sure.” Gu Ning agreed. She also wanted to know why Dongfang Qi wanted to see her. Was it about Jade with Dragon Phoenix Cloud Pattern or something else?

After that, Gu Ning followed Dongfang Qi to a nearby café. They chose the seats at a corner for the convenience of talking.

After ordering coffee, Dongfang Qi opened his mouth. “Miss Gu, don’t you have any news about the Jade with Dragon Phoenix Cloud Pattern.”

Although he asked that question, he knew it must be a negative answer, or Gu Ning would have already contacted him.

It only happened because Gu Ning was willing to do it. He wasn’t dumb and wouldn’t fully trust Gu Ning. He asked her about that only because he saw her today. However, he actually came to see her for something else.

“Yeah, no one answered my calls,” said Gu Ning. She didn’t feel embarra.s.sed at all when she told the lie.

It wasn’t a surprising answer, but he was still a little disappointed after hearing that.

“Miss Gu, do you know that many people are planning to attack Colaine?” asked Dongfang Qi. He didn’t think Gu Ning was aware of that, because Colaine had powerful enemies.

“Oh, do you mean you know who’s going to attack Colaine? Mr. Dongfang, will you tell me who they are or do you want to make a deal with me?”

Gu Ning wasn’t surprised when Dongfang Qi told her that news, because she always knew some people were trying to attack Colaine. Some of them were her peers, while some were cultivators. Nevertheless, Gu Ning realized that Dongfang Qi told her that for a purpose.

“Miss Gu, you’re very smart. I do know who is planning to attack Colaine, and I hope we can make a deal about that. What do you think?” said Dongfang Qi.

“Mr. Dongfang, why do you believe I don’t know who’s going to attack my own company?” asked Gu Ning calmly. It seemed she knew everything.

“Oh?” Seeing Gu Ning so calm, Dongfang Qi was slightly surprised. Did Gu Ning really know it? It was impossible!

“Miss Gu, if you’re aware of it, then I have nothing else to say, but there is something I know but you don’t know.” Dongfang Qi said, “For example, I know there is a spy in your factory and I know who the person is. Miss Gu, if you know that as well, then I guess our meeting today is over.”

Hearing that, Gu Ning squinted. Her expression didn’t change much, but she was actually annoyed.

She didn’t know there was a spy in her factory. Obviously, Ning Changkai was unaware of it too.

Even though Ning Changkai didn’t know it, Gu Ning wouldn’t blame him. After all, Ning Changkai was too busy to deal with everything. Moreover, there were other managers to handle everything in the factory, so he didn’t need to deal with it in person. Therefore, it was very normal that he was unaware of it.

No matter how strict precautions were, the enemy’s invasion couldn’t be avoided. After all, the enemy was powerful.

“You already told me there is a spy in my factory. Do you think you still have chips to make a deal with me? I can get him out anyway,” said Gu Ning.

“Miss Gu, if you do that, there is nothing I can do, but I know more than just that. If you turn me down this time, I won’t tell you anything in the future. I have my pride,” said Dongfang Qi. He wasn’t worried that he would lose the chips for the deal with Gu Ning after telling her that there was a spy in her factory, because it was only one of the things he knew. If he was worried, he wouldn’t have told her.

He wasn’t sure Gu Ning would agree, but he needed to try.
