  It was early Saturday morning when a few seniors from the Medical Informatics specialization sent their homework to Gu Mang.

  [Senior Feng: You refused to join us when we invited you to go to the library with us. Here’s our homework. You can refer to them and send me a message if there’s anything you don’t understand.]

  [Gu Mang: Thank you, senior, but I’ve already submitted mine.]

  [Senior Feng: Shocked.jpg You’re done with it?]

  [Gu Mang: Yes.]

  When the others at the lab saw Senior Feng’s look of astonishment, they asked him, “What’s wrong?”


  “Gu Mang has already submitted her homework to the professor,” he told them.

  “Holy crap! We’ve only just finished ours, yet she’s already submitted hers?! Professor Tang hates slipshod work. She might receive a stern rebuking from him for this……”
……

  Likewise, Professor Tang had not expected Gu Mang to be the first person to submit her homework. He frowned as he took his phone and went over to his computer, where he clicked on her homework file in his inbox. His frown, however, deepened when he saw the data she had summarized……

  Gu Mang liked to keep a low profile, so she only submitted her homework on Saturdays, the last day to do so. She did not expect that she would still end up being the first person to do so.

  Lu Chengzhou came over to fetch her later that afternoon. With her cap shielding her eyes and a mask over her face, she walked out of school and it was only upon closer inspection that Lu Chengzhou realized that she was wearing earphones and talking on the phone.

  “Take action.” She appeared aloof and irritated as she gave the order. He had no idea what the person on the other side of the line was saying, but it made her release a cold, murderous aura. He did not say a word as he looked at her and took the black backpack that was hanging on her shoulder before opening the car’s rear door.

  “No need to worry about me.” As she bent down to get into the car, she replied, “Got it. I’m hanging up now.”


  Sitting in front were Lu Yī and Qin Fang, who dared not even breathe loudly on account of her murderous aura. Given her identity, whatever that required her to take action must be no small matter. Lu Yī, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, inclined his head slightly as he greeted her respectfully. “Miss Gu.”


  Gu Mang’s eyelids drooped low as she hummed an assent, took off her mask to stuff it in her pocket, and removed her cap. Lu Chengzhou, who had gotten into the car from the other side, held her hand wordlessly as she slowly suppressed the chilly aura she was exuding.

  Upon noticing that she was not in the best of her moods, Qin Fang ruminated for a moment before he boldly grinned at her and asked playfully, “Sis-in-law, what do you want to have for dinner? My treat.”


  His scalp went numb when he met her gaze as she looked up. The chill in her eyes had not completely faded. When he received a bland answer from her, saying that she was fine with anything, he exhaled in relief and turned to look at Lu Chengzhou. “Brother Cheng, I heard there’s a new restaurant that serves decent food on Wangjing Road. Shall we go there?”


  Lu Chengzhou nodded in agreement……

  Qin Fang had called ahead to make a reservation, so by the time they arrived at the restaurant, the dishes were ready for them. A waiter led them to their private room on the second floor.

  Lu Chengzhou pulled out a chair for his fiancée. Gu Mang hung her cap on the backrest before sitting down and putting a leg across her knee.

  “Sis-in-law, they serve floral and fruit tea here. I’m sure you’ll like them.” Qin Fang took the initiative to pour her some tea before Lu Yī could even take a seat. His actions caused the latter to be shocked by his proficiency in fawning over Gu Mang.

  Having long returned to her usual indifferent self, Gu Mang politely uttered, “Thank you.”


  Not long after, Lu Chengzhou placed a piece of sweet and sour pork on her plate. He Yidu arrived at this moment. “Brother Cheng, Sister Mang,” he said respectfully.

  He Yidu had been quite busy lately. The He Corporation had their eyes on a huge IT project, but they were unable to clinch it even after working on their proposal for a week.

  As Qin Fang poured him a cup of tea, he asked, “Have you finished settling the things on your end?”


  Sitting down, He Yidu unbuttoned his cuffs and rolled up his sleeves several times. “Shen Xie’s gotten involved with it, so things are a little tricky right now. He has this pro communication software developer who’s working for him under the pseudonym ‘Xingmu’s Sweeper Monk.’ They’re really mysterious and low-profile. No one even knows their real name.”


  In the capital, only the Shen Group was capable enough to compete with the He Corporation in the infrastructure business. Qin Fang had heard about ‘Xingmu’s Sweeper Monk.’ It was said that the pro developer did not need to report to work and that Shen Xie himself did not even know their gender since they had never met in person before. The He Corporation had really met their match this time.

  Giving it a thought, Qin Fang said, “The rich lady is an IT expert herself. Try to get her on your side and see if she can challenge Xingmu’s Sweeper Monk.”


  Gu Mang remained silent throughout their conversation.

  He Yidu turned to look at his buddy in amazement while thinking that his foolish friend was finally making good use of his brain for once.

  “Do you have a way to contact the rich lady?” asked Qin Fang.

  He Yidu of course did not have Lin Shuang’s number, but someone in their midst surely had it. Both of them turned to look at Gu Mang in unison.
