Seeing that Lin Shuang had no sign of a guilty conscience at all, He Yidu raised his eyebrows and slipped one hand in his pocket. “Where is Ms. Lin going?”
Lin Shuang shrugged. “Where else? I’m a woman. We shop, eat, go to spas, and party.”
He Yidu looked at her and smiled. “Then Ms. Lin had better be careful. It’s a dangerous society out there. Especially when Ms. Lin is so beautiful, you’d get into trouble easily.”
There was no sincerity in his words.
Lin Shuang bit her lip. “Thank you for your concern.”
“You’re welcome.” He Yidu replied very politely. “Ms. Lin, you should come to the capital and have some fun when you are free.”
“Sure.” Lin Shuang smiled and nodded. “Goodbye, Young Master He.”
She did not even wait for an answer from He Yidu before leaving. He Yidu turned slightly and looked at Lin Shuang’s back from the corner of his eyes. His gaze was still for a few seconds.
Peng Yan looked indignant.
“She’s the one who bombed our base!” he said like a child who was complaining to his parents.
He Yidu tutted and looked away. “Let’s try to recover the documents first and choose a new location.”
“Yes.” Lu Qi answered.
He Yidu led Lu Yi to the VIP passage and laughed almost inaudibly. Deep down, he repeated two words.
Lin Shuang.
…
Another five days of training went by.
Lu Chengzhou had finished consuming his medicine regimen. That night, Gu Mang went to the medical room to check his pulse.
They were the only two people in the entire medical room and it was really quiet.
Lu Chengzhou looked at the thin, beautiful hand resting on his wrist and turned to look at her face rather nervously. “How is it?”
Gu Mang took away her hand and opened her mouth.
“Hold on.” Lu Chengzhou spoke first. He looked at her. “Don’t fool around. I am quite concerned about my recovery.”
Gu Mang looked up and stared at his face. She did not make a sound for quite some time. Lu Chengzhou looked at her clear pupils and his body stiffened a little.
After about ten seconds, she smiled. Her eyes were glittering. “You recovered pretty well. You will fully healed with a few more days of dieting.”
Lu Chengzhou’s mind relaxed. Gu Mang picked up the various medical reports that had been prepared by the doctor from the medical room. Most of his biological data showed that he had returned to a normal state. She put the file aside and got up to make a cup of honey water for herself at the bedside table.
She walked back to sit down with the cup in hand. Lu Chengzhou grabbed her arm.
“Ms. Xi sent me a text this afternoon. Today’s the last day of your one month leave of absence,” Lu Chengzhou said.
“Ah,” Gu Mang said before turning to him. “I almost forgot. My time is up.”
When she had applied for one month’s leave, there had been just enough time to get everything done if things went smoothly. She did not think that accidents would crop up while she was at the President’s House, which caused some delays. Now, she did not have enough time.
Lu Chengzhou said, “I applied for another month’s leave for you.”
“Oh,” Gu Mang said. “Gu Si said that he wishes to attend university entrance exams this year. I intend to let him go to Class Twenty.”
This year, he had to bring some pride for Little Xi.
Lu Chengzhou nodded. He thought of something and asked, “Has Gu Si still not been eliminated?”
There weren’t many grown men who could persevere at this stage in Red Flame’s training. He heard that this year, the difficulty level of Gu Mang’s training was more intense than the year before.
Gu Mang was rather surprised as well. She took a sip of water and said, “I wonder how he managed to stay in for so long.”
Gu Mang drank half the cup of honey water and passed the remainder to him. The two of them often shared a cup.
Gu Mang picked up her phone to check her messages. Meng Jinyang and Lu Yang were asking if she would return the day after. She told them about her prolonged leave in the WeChat group with them.
On the last two days was the training test.
Those who stayed would enter the special agent team and their focus would be different from that of the technical and intelligence teams. However, they shared resources and worked with each other.
