“What do you want to talk to me about?” Gu Ning asked.
“Well, actually you noticed me following you early on, right?” the man said.
Gu Ning was slightly surprised. She didn’t expect that the man would say that.
Since the man wasn’t dumb, Gu Ning stopped pretending and put on a cold face. “Why are you following me?”
“I want to make a deal with you,” the man said.
“What is it?” Gu Ning asked.
“Um…” The man opened his mouth, but didn’t say anything. Instead, he suddenly attacked Gu Ning and wanted to knock her unconscious.
Gu Ning was alert, so she defended herself at once and began to fight against the man.
The man didn’t seem surprised at all when Gu Ning fought back, but he was excited.
The man wasn’t weak but Gu Ning still got control of the fight very soon and easily locked the man tight so that he couldn’t move. The man was astonished by Gu Ning’s skills, but he looked pleased at the same time.
Gu Ning didn’t miss his expressions, and felt confused. She didn’t understand why the man still seemed kind to her after following her and attacking her.
“Tell me, who sent you?” Gu Ning coldly asked.
“Miss Gu, I have no intention to hurt you. I just read a lot of news about you and I know you’re excellent at martial arts, so I simply want to have a competition with you for fun,” the man said.
He sounded sincere, but Gu Ning didn’t believe him.
Because Gu Ning thought that he had something to do with the controller of the mutant, she was unwilling to let him go.
She wasn’t afraid of the mastermind directly coming to her, but she was worried that her family or friends might be threatened.
“For fun? I don’t think so,” Gu Ning sneered.
The man felt slightly embarrassed. In fact, he attacked Gu Ning of his own accord just to have a game with her, and he indeed had no intention to hurt her.
He saw Gu Ning in the Earth Nightclub just then and he recognized her, so he followed her.
“Miss Gu, I’m terribly sorry. It’s my fault but please trust me. I really have no intention to hurt you, and I actually need your help,” the man said with sincerity again.
Although Gu Ning still stayed suspicious, she gave him a chance after seeing his sincere attitude. She let him go later but fixed her eyes on him, in case he ran away.
The man stretched his arms and hands to relax his muscles, then said to Gu Ning with a serious face, “Miss Gu, please allow me to introduce myself first. My name’s Li Zhongwei, and I’m a member of the SWAT team of City B.”
Saying that, he quickly took out his certificate from his inside pocket and handed it to Gu Ning.
Gu Ning checked it, and it said that he was a team leader. However, she wasn’t sure whether the certificate was real or not.
“Is it real?” Gu Ning asked.
Li Zhongwei replied seriously, “Of course it is. It’s illegal for me to make this up.”
Gu Ning nodded, and decided to trust Li Zhongwei.
“What do you want me to help you with?” Gu Ning asked him.
Li Zhongwei said, “Our team is in the middle of a very important task, but we need a female to sneak into the enemy camp and get close to the enemy. This female must be extremely powerful, or else it’ll be very dangerous. There are female SWAT members in our team, but they couldn’t even beat me, so I am worried that they can’t complete the task. After all, our opponents are very strong. I saw you in the Earth Nightclub by chance, and I think that maybe you can help because I’ve heard a lot about what you’ve done before. Well, it is the best if you’re willing to help us, but we won’t force you to do so. It’s very dangerous after all.”
Li Zhongwei believed that only Gu Ning could help them right now.
Gu Ning knew that it had to be an emergency, and they did their job to protect this country and its people, so she didn’t have the heart to turn him down.
“May I know why you need a female to approach your target?” Gu Ning asked.
Li Zhongwei hesitated for a short while, then said, “Because the person we are going to catch will hold a private drug party on a cruise, but only those who receive the invitation letter can enter it. It isn’t allowed for any guest to bring extra people into it. Luckily, they asked for 10 prostitutes from a certain club to accompany them, so we can send an undercover agent to join them. We simply want the undercover agent to control our target. There is no need for her to kill him, she just needs to threaten him to sail back to the shore so that we can take further action.”
Li Zhongwei told Gu Ning everything, but he wasn’t worried that Gu Ning would leak the information. Gu Ning was a girl who had a strong sense of justice, so he chose to believe her.
Anyway, he needed her help.
