Gu Ning then told Leng Shaoting what K had found out about the foreign man.
Leng Shaoting was very happy to help Gu Ning and promised that he would deal with it. He called one of his friends in Country Y and his friend agreed to help with alacrity.
After that, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went back to the living room.
However, Tang Yunfan suddenly received a call and coldly stared at Gu Ning in anger.
Gu Ning got nervous and thought that Tang Yunfan must have heard about the car accident right now. Her father must be mad at her because she had kept it a secret from him.
“Ningning, why did you keep the car accident at the road outside the airport a secret from us?” Tang Yunfan curbed his anger and questioned Gu Ning with a serious expression.
Hearing that, Tang Haifeng was surprised. He glanced at Tang Yunfan, then his sight fell on Gu Ning.
Master Leng and the others felt a little embarrassed sitting in the living room. They knew that this secret couldn’t be hidden forever, and that it would be exposed sooner or later.
“What car accident?” Tang Haifeng asked in a hurry.
Gu Man also stared at Gu Ning.
Gu Ning panicked a little and explained at once. “Um, I was just afraid that you’d be too worried about me, and I’m fine. I didn’t want to ruin the good atmosphere yesterday either.”
“Do you still think that it was the right thing to do? How could you keep it a secret from us? We’re a family, and we care about you, especially when your life could have been in great danger.” Tang Yunfan began to tear up.
He understood why Gu Ning did that, but Gu Ning didn’t understand their feelings. He was worried about Gu Ning’s safety, although Gu Ning was safe and sound in front of him now. Besides, it wasn’t a simple car accident, but an attempted murder.
If it was an attempted murder, it meant that Gu Ning was in great danger now and someone was scheming against her.
He was very clear about Gu Ning’s outstanding ability and success, which meant that she was doomed to encounter unfair competitions, trouble, and attacks. He also knew that Gu Ning was a strong girl and that she was determined to build her own business empire, but he was still concerned about her. He was a father, and it wasn’t easy for him to get his daughter back.
Gu Ning understood that she had made a terrible mistake, so she apologized. “Dad, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done that. I promise it won’t happen again.”
She had indeed ignored how they would feel after they found out.
“Ningning!” Tang Haifeng was anxious and annoyed, but didn’t know what to say now.
Gu Man also wanted to say something, but could only whimper now.
“Man…” Tang Yunfan laid his hands on Gu Man’s shoulders to comfort her.
“Well, I have to say it’s also our fault because we kept it a secret in case you would be too worried.” Master Leng opened his mouth at this moment.
“Leng, don’t say that. We all understand why Ningning chose to do that, but I just hope it won’t happen again,” Tang Haifeng said at once.
Tang Yunfan also said, “Please don’t say that. We just feel that as the elder generation, we should take better care of the younger generation. Ningning is too independent sometimes, and we all hope that she will talk to us when she’s in trouble.”
Gu Ning somehow felt amused, because they all changed their tone once Master Leng opened his mouth. However, Gu Ning had to admit that what Tang Yunfan just said was right. She was unwilling to tell her family what she was going through and she always chose to carry the burden herself.
“Grandpa, dad, I’m sorry, please forgive me this time. I promise I won’t do it again in the future,” Gu Ning said.
Tang Haifeng, however, was still a little mad. “You better keep your words. This isn’t the first time that you’ve done this.”
“Yeah, yeah, no problem.” Gu Ning chickened out.
Hearing that, Tang Haifeng was satisfied.
Tang Yunfan gave Gu Ning one last glare and dropped the topic.
Because of Master Leng’s presence, Tang Yunfan stopped questioning her, but he was actually still a little mad at Gu Ning.
…
Leng Shaoting’s friend was quite helpful and he soon found out that Luca was a member of the Mafia in Country Y. Luca used to be a member of the killers’ team in the Mafia, but he was removed because he often took private tasks which broke the rules in the organization. Nevertheless, he was excellent at fighting, so he worked as a security guard in a casino owned by the Mafia now.
Other than that, Leng Shaoting’s friend also found out about those who kept in touch with Luca recently and their identities. He also got Luca’s recent bank statements.
Leng Shaoting’s friend was very smart. Since Leng Shaoting told him that it was a murder attempt but they didn’t know Luca at all, it was highly likely that Luca was hired by someone else to murder Gu Ning.
If there was a deal, there had to be a payment.
