“Sure.” Tang Yunfan understood that Gu Ning didn’t want Gu Man to see the violent scene.
Gu Ning walked to Gu Man but Gu Man was still in shock, not because Tang Yunfan was awake, but because she saw something familiar from his eyes like they were back to 18 years ago. Did he regain his memory? Gu Man got excited, but fainted all of a sudden.
“Mom!” Gu Ning supported Gu Man at once and put her magical power into Gu Man’s body.
“Man!” Tang Yunfan also ran over and held Gu Man in his arms. He was worried and panicked a little.
“Lao Guo, have a look,” Qi Tianlin said to a man who was around 50 years old, then turned to Gu Ning. “Lao Guo is a doctor. You can let him have a look at your mother.”
“Thanks,” Gu Ning said. Gu Man still wouldn’t wake up after she secretly put her magical power into her body, so it wasn’t a bad idea to let Lao Guo have a look.
Lao Guo walked to them, and checked Gu Man’s eyes and heartbeat.
“You mother was greatly scared, so the tension on her vagus nerve[1] increased, and the syncope[2] was caused by arrhythmia (3. An arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. It means that your heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular pattern.). Surprisingly, her pulse is becoming steady at a fast pace and she’s gradually entering a state of drowsiness. She’ll be fine when she wakes up,” Lao Guo Said.
It was because of Gu Ning’s magical power that Gu Man’s pulse was becoming steady so quickly.
Hearing that, both Gu Ning and Tang Yunfan were relieved.
After that, Tang Yunfan carried Gu Man in his arms walking outside. Gu Ning, on the other hand, stared straight at those hoodlums who had abducted Gu Man, which scared them, and they begged at once, “Miss Gu, please-please let us go. We promise we’ll never do it again.”
“Tell me, how much do you know about Zhang Yongjun?” Gu Ning said coldly.
The leader of those hoodlums said, “I only know that his name is Zhang Yongjun. He’s in his early forties. We’ve met several times, but I don’t know much about him.”
The Kirin Gang was different from the Qing Gang, and the members of the Kirin Gang could moonlight as they wanted. However, if they caused any trouble, they had to bear the result themselves.
“What was the next step after the abduction?” Gu Ning asked.
“He said that we had to abduct you both before calling him, and he’d deal with it later,” the leader said.
Gu Ning thought for a while. She was curious what the person behind this abduction planned to do next.
“Great, you can do what he ordered. Call him now,” Gu Ning said to the leader of the hoodlums. “As for the rest, if you can beat me down, you may leave safely.”
Gu Ning did what she usually did. If they could beat her in a fight, she would let them go.
“We-we can’t.” Those hoodlums almost cried. Let alone mentioning that Gu Ning was just a young girl, she had a close relationship with Qi Tianlin too, so they didn’t dare to hurt her.
“Do whatever she wants.” Qi Tianlin lazily lay on the sofa, like he was watching a show. He understood that it was impossible that they would win.
Since Qi Tianlin said that, they had to attack Gu Ning. However, before they could touch Gu Ning, they were violently beaten down on the ground within a few minutes.
Except for Qi Tianlin, who remained calm watching it, the others were all astonished.
Gu Ning didn’t have time to waste on them, so she finished the punishment as soon as possible.
“Qi, I still need to deal with something else now, so I have to go, but I’ll take this man with me,” Gu Ning said to Qi Tianlin.
“Bye, Miss Gu, and I do hope that we can gamble again next time.”
Normally, Qi Tianlin wouldn’t let Gu Ning go like that, but Gu Ning was busy today, so he agreed. Although he had lost last time, he wanted to win a round.
“As long as you have enough money, why not?” Gu Ning said arrogantly.
“All I have is money,” Qi Tianlin said with arrogance too. However, once he said it, he felt that something was wrong. Gu Ning said that on purpose, because it meant that he was doomed to lose.
“Very well, then I’ll come again to take your money the next time,” Gu Ning smiled.
Qi Tianlin pulled his lips.
The leading hoodlum also followed Gu Ning walking out, and he hoped that Gu Ning would let him go after his cooperation.
Once Gu Ning left, Lao Guo asked Qi Tianlian, “Is that girl the one who sold you the pills?”. Although he asked, he already had the answer in his heart. In fact, Lao Guo admired Gu Ning, because her pills were really effective, but he had tried to figure out its formula for a long time in vain.
“Yes,” Qi Tianlin said.
Hearing that, Lao Guo thought that Gu Ning couldn’t be an ordinary girl. She had magical pills, and was a kung fu master. In addition, she also had a close connection with the Tang family. Although her family name was Gu, and Tang Yunfan’s was Tang, he knew that they were related to each other from their faces.
When Leng Shaoting saw Gu Man who was unconscious, being carried in Tang Yunfan’s arms, he was annoyed, because he thought that the Kirin Gang must have hurt her. He got out and opened the car door for Tang Yunfan at once.
“Mr. Tang, what happened?” Leng Shaoting asked with concern.
“Oh, luckily Man is fine. She just passed out from fear; she’ll be fine after a good sleep,” Tang Yunfan said.
Before long, Gu Ning came to meet them.
“Shaoting, please take them back to Huafu Hills; I need to deal with something,” Gu Ning said.
Seeing the leading hoodlum behind Gu Ning, they knew that it was about Gu Man.
“It’s very dangerous.” Tang Yunfan frowned. Although he knew that Gu Ning wasn’t weak, she was alone after all.
