Chapter 1017: Cheeky Tactic 2
Monica said, “I had designed a fake map a long time ago. To attain victory, they will definitely team up with one another. Now, they must be trying to form connections. You killed two of them at one time, and that is enough to shock them. Naturally, they won’t dare to come again.”
“What a cheeky tactic. It works. When did you make that fake map?”
“Long ago.”
“Impressive.”
Maxi said, “I heard that every year, they hold the selection ceremony at the same place. They would definitely have a fixed map, but no one is silly enough to draw the map out. We used Fang Hongxiu’s name and made a fake map. The credibility of it is very high.”
Shen Qianshu said, “Seems like my mum’s name is very useful.”
“Of course it is.” Monica scoffed and said calmly. “So much more useful than you thought.”
“Young lady, you are so impressive. You are so beautiful, and you are so good at fighting. You could actually do well in Hollywood. They lack people like you. Who knows? You might be able to become a movie diva and bring glory to the Chinese race. You would be the first Chinese movie diva in Hollywood.”
The corner of Monica’s lips curled up. “What’s good about being a movie diva? It’s not like they’re rich.”
“How ambitious must you be to think that being the kind of Movie Diva that wins Oscar awards still isn’t rich enough?”
“When I close a deal, I earn a few million in USD. I can do a few deals every month. Simple, happy, and doesn’t take a toll on my brains.”
Shen Qianshu was silent for a moment.
“Young lady, I see that you have an oriental face, but you do not know the art of speaking like an oriental person. Do you really don’t get that I’m mocking you?”
“… ” Monica stared at Shen Qianshu.
“… ” Maxi stared at Monica.
“Can you speak honestly with no twists and turns!”
Shen Qianshu replied. “Nope! It is as if you guys had been praising me genuinely.”
After lunchtime.
They continued practicing hitting moving targets. Maxi and Monica did not have any more empty cartridges in their weaponry set. Shen Qianshu was not willing to use real guns with real bullets. So, they could only practice with moving targets in the woods. They were training Shen Qianshu’s reaction speed.
Capital City. The Yang Family.
Gu Yuanli went to pay a visit. Yang Lang and the Old Master were rather surprised. Yang Po had been sent to another prefecture-level city to be their mayor. That place was in a more remote place. It was a third-tier or fourth-tier kind of city, and it was a huge difference from a top-tier city like City A.
He had a divorce with Jing Yun. Things did not go well for Jing Yun at all in the entertainment industry. Xiao Yi was left with Old Master. When Gu Yuanli entered, he saw Xiao Yi. The beautiful little princess stood in the huge yard obediently, looking enviously at the kids having fun in their yard next door.
She looked at Gu Yuanli, and she was very shy. She hid behind a swing.
The butler led Gu Yuanli into the courtyard.
There were mainly political families in this area. All of them were military compounds, and they were strictly guarded. They did not seem eye-catching, and those living there were all popular and specialized old people. Yang Po’s matters caused quite a big hoo-ha.
The thunder was loud, but there was only a small shower. In the end, the punishment for him was to have him move to a prefecture-level city.
The Yang Family was not deeply affected by it.
The Old Master and Yang Lang met Gu Yuanli in the study room.
During these past few years, they had met him several times because of Black Rose. The Old Master anticipated Gu Yuanli and wished that he would take over Ghost City sooner so that he could have full control. The support that Ghost City provided for the Yang Family was just too much.
“Grandpa, uncle.” Gu Yuanli called them and sat a side.
Yang Lang poured him some tea personally.
“Why have you come so suddenly? Did something happen?”
Gu Yuanli said, “Grandpa, Uncle, do you guys have any news of her?”
Yang Lang and Old Master looked at each other.
Old Master said, “Yuanli, no matter how she is, she is your mother. You have never acknowledged her even once, yet you caused your mother to be the kind of person who cannot return home even when she has one. You have gone overboard.”
