Chapter 947: Actually, I’m Not That Close to Him

“…She saw through your act?” asked Qin Fang.
“Mm.” Lu Chengzhou frankly answered, “I don’t want to act anymore.”
“This should be the way. Isn’t this better?” Qin Fang’s emphasis was only on how Lu Chengzhou was dropping the act. “He Yidu won’t have to be scolded by Lin Shuang for trying to coax information out of her.”
He Yidu, who was sitting next to Qin Fang, turned his head. “That’s none of your business!”
“How is it none of my business? I feel sorry to see my buddy get scolded every day, so of course I have to help him!” On Qin Fang’s face was a determined expression that said: I’m willing to go all out for my buddy.
“Seriously…” He Yidu was so speechless that he could not even utter a response.
“From today onwards, you’re free!” Qin Fang nodded his head while patting He Yidu’s shoulders.
He Yidu gave him a withering look in return. Get lost, you idiot!
…
Upstairs.
Gu Mang was currently on a video call with Yun Ling and Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang said, “Brahma did you a huge favor. Things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly without him.”
“I certainly didn’t expect that,” answered Gu Mang with raised eyebrows. In fact, she had been quite surprised to see Brahma at Base 102, although she had heard about him taking advantage of the chaotic situation on Jijing Island years ago to grow his influence and make his fortune there.
The fact that the Head Elder invited Brahma to Base 102 means that the two of them had intentions of working together. Gu Mang lowered her gaze as she fell deep in thought. Brahma probably knows more about Base 102 than me and he’s got himself involved with this power struggle and he still helped me today. If he really wants to work with Base 102, then it would be more advantageous if I took over the place.
Although Gu Mang did not want to make things seem so complicated, she just couldn’t help it.
Lin Shuang, who quickly caught on the situation, said a moment later, “Seeing how close you were with Responsive Dragon and the others, I thought you and Brahma—”
“Actually, I’m not that close with him,” replied Gu Mang honestly. “We don’t interact much.”
Lin Shuang and Yun Ling exchanged a look.
“Forget it.” Gu Mang had no time to think about all these things for the time being. “Yun Ling, I need you to help me find something in Changning County.”
“Sure.” Yun Ling nodded.
Gu Mang knitted her eyebrows together. I hope it’s there.
The three then chatted for a little longer before Yun Ling ended the call to leave for Changning County.
After sending Yun Ling to the airport, Lin Shuang received a call from He Yidu when she was just about to return to the villa.
…
Gu Mang lazily leaned back against the chair and stared at the black desktop wallpaper for a long time before moving the cursor to click into the document on the progress of the latest experiment Yu Zhongjing had sent to her.
Lately, Yu Zhongjing’s work efficiency had increased a lot. The experimental records he sent each time consisted of dozens of pages. As Gu Mang read through the document, she realized that he had encountered some problems during the experiment. After giving it some thought, she got up, changed her clothes, and headed downstairs.
Everyone’s gaze instinctively moved towards her when they saw her come down.
Gu Mang went straight to the kitchen and took six sandwiches, tossing two each to Gu Si and Yu Mufeng as she came out. “Eat them and follow me to the lab.”
Experiments could not be paused, so Gu Mang tended to fill up her stomach first before entering the lab.
When Lu Chengzhou heard that, he quietly went to the kitchen to make three glasses of fresh fruit juice. He then handed a glass of juice to Gu Mang, which she took from him and drank from.
Meanwhile, Gu Si, whose cheeks were all puffed up from taking a huge bite of the sandwich, was so surprised to see this that he stopped chewing. She seems to trust Bai Sui a lot more now… What’s going to happen to Lu Chengzhou? Oh my gosh, I’m so confused…
Needing no reminder, Yu Mufeng took the other two glasses of fruit juice and handed one to Gu Si. “Here you go.”
Gu Si received the glass from him, still confused.
The trio entered the lab as soon as they finished eating their food.
