The news completely blew He Yidu away. While staring unblinkingly at Lu Zhan, he quickly processed this information in his head. Is that why Uncle Lu came over looking for Brother Cheng? So the reason why Gu Si wanted to come to Red Flame to kill Brother Cheng but ended up messing with the technical team was because Gu Mang… is pregnant? If that’s the case, then everything makes sense now. But Brother Cheng didn’t seem to know why Gu Si flew into such a huge rage when he told us about it… Is he… unaware of this matter? He doesn’t know that Gu Mang is pregnant despite staying by her side all this while?
Meanwhile, Lu Yī and the rest stood still like wooden blocks with their eyes wide open. Ms. Gu is pregnant?!
Lu Zhan fumed. “He’s right by her side, yet he still allowed her to go take the assessment?”
Except for Lin Shuang, everyone appeared like they had been dealt a great shock. He Yidu, who was the first to snap back to his senses, looked at her and hesitantly asked, “Is Gu Mang really…”
“Yes.” Lin Shuang cocked her eyebrow and nodded. All of sudden, she felt like coming to Red Flame wasn’t a waste after all. I had a feeling that Bai Sui harbored ulterior motives toward Gu Mang. Shadow League ran a background check on him before but couldn’t find anything unusual. Besides, it’s impossible that Old Master Bai’s trusted aide would feel that way toward Gu Mang. So it was Lu Chengzhou all along…
‘You’ll know when the time comes.’
So Gu Mang knew that the father was Lu Chengzhou since long ago?
…
On Jijing Island.
Gu Mang emerged from the lab nine hours later. She removed her gloves and tossed them into the trash bin before lifting her chin toward the experimental data on the table. “Organize the data and send it over to your dad.”
Yu Mufeng nodded. “Okay.”
Gu Mang removed her white coat and hazmat suit to store them in the cabinet and then turned around to leave. Yu Mufeng and Gu Si put their work aside to go eat as well.
It just so happened that Jiangsui was back from conducting his rounds. When he saw Gu Mang come out of the lab, he immediately stepped forward. “It’s all settled.”
Gu Mang nodded. “Where are Jiang Shenyuan and Ji Heng?”
“They’re still at work. They need to quickly familiarize themselves with the companies’ internal affairs and settle some disputes.”
As they had just taken over the assets, they had to get on track as soon as possible lest things turn tricky later on.
“Got it.” Gu Mang headed for the dining room.
The kitchen staff had prepared their dinner for them. After the trio appeared in the dining room, they quickly heated up the food and served it to them. Gu Mang took a biscuit and ate it while reading through the unread messages on her phone. Her eyes stopped at the message from Shen Xie.
While Shen Xie had often asked to meet her, it had always been in a joking tone, unlike this time. Thinking about the relationship between the Shen family and the Bi family as well as the current situation on Jijing Island, Gu Mang’s gaze became cold and aloof as she typed, [Before I entered Muxing, I said that I’d stay as long as I want.]
Color drained from Shen Xie’s face when he received that message. However, just as he was about to type a reply, the words ‘account deleted’ appeared on the screen. His fingers stiffened.
…
Shen Xie’s matter did not have much effect on Gu Mang. After finishing her dinner, she returned to her bedroom, opened the wardrobe to take out a set of fresh clothes, and headed to the bathroom.
When she emerged from the bathroom after taking a shower, she was drying her hair with a towel. But she suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of her bed. There, she saw Lu Chengzhou brazenly lying on her bed, looking back at her.
Gu Mang narrowed her eyes.. Tch, he’s got some nerve to come in here.
