Even though Zhao Binxu went bankrupt, she didn’t leave him and still assisted him in running their small restaurant.
Zhao Binxu and Mrs. Zhao understood each other very well, and they seldom argued with one another, which wasn’t common. After all, more and more people were becoming selfish and self-centered in today’s society.
“I will.” Zhao Binxu made a promise.
…
Qiao Ya asked Gu Ning with curiosity, “Boss, why do you trust him so much?”
Although it wasn’t the first time Gu Ning had done something like this, she still didn’t understand why Gu Ning would do it.
“Zhao Binxu isn’t a top manager, but he’s very experienced and upright. To be honest, I helped him mainly because of my master. My master told me that she did some bad deeds before and always felt guilty, so she hoped that I could give those victims a helping hand if they need help. I’m doing that for her,” Gu Ning said.
Gao Yi and Qiao Ya knew that Gu Ning’s master was Tang Aining, and Tang Aining was a professional killer, so it was quite normal that many people had been hurt by her. Therefore, Gao Yi and Qiao Ya understood why Gu Ning was helpful.
…
Outside Shengning Tower, Wu Shunhua waited till 7 pm, but Gu Ning was still absent. He thought that Gu Ning might have taken another car again, so he missed her once more. However, Wu Shunhua couldn’t figure out why Gu Ning changed her car all the time.
He didn’t think that Gu Ning had already noticed that he was following her, because he always kept his distance from her.
Since Gu Ning could be gone already, there was no need for him to keep on waiting here, so he directly drove to Century City later.
Wu Shunhua booked a room at a hotel which was opposite the gate of Century City, so he could stay near Century City at night.
Gu Ning, however, didn’t go back to Century City, and instead went to the haunted construction site.
It was still early, and the sky wasn’t completely dark, but she spent a lot of time on the road, so it was 8:20 pm when she finally arrived there. Within ten minutes, the sky was totally dark.
At night, there were no lights, so the Yin in the construction site made it look scarier.
It was located by a crossroads, and there were main roads around it, but the street lights weren’t bright enough to fully light it. As a result, the construction site was mostly covered by darkness.
There wasn’t much traffic on the main roads, but Gu Ning was worried that she might be caught by passers-by. So in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Gu Ning, Gao Yi and Qiao Ya got out of the car and went to the construction site on foot.
Not many people dared to walk near this construction site because the people who lived nearby were all aware that it was an unlucky place. Even if some had to walk by it, they normally ran fast.
There was a sidewalk by the construction site, but few people dared to walk on it, because the trees along it had dense leaves which blocked the light from lighting the path and made it look quite frightening.
Nevertheless, at this time, a boy and a girl were quarreling on the sidewalk not far from the construction site. They quarreled because they had to walk by this sidewalk near the construction site, but the girl was too scared so she wanted to take a taxi or another road. However, the place where they lived was right behind this construction site, and they would be home after the zebra crossing. It would be a waste of money and time if they took a taxi or took another longer road.
In addition, the boy didn’t believe in monsters and ghosts at all, so he didn’t think that it was a big deal and thought that the girl was being dramatic.
Gu Ning didn’t bother to pay attention to them, and directly walked by them with Gao Yi and Qiao Ya.
Seeing that, the boy criticized the girl. “See? They just walked by us and they’re fine. Don’t be so dramatic. It’s not easy for me to come here to meet you.”
“I don’t care about other people, I only know that I’m scared of it, so I don’t want to walk there! We can take a taxi, or break up!” The girl was annoyed.
“Break up?” The boy was struck dumb for a second, but wasn’t surprised. “Are you sure?”
“Yes, I’m sure,” the girl said, and it sounded as if she was confident that the boy wouldn’t dare to break up with her.
“Who do you think you are? Do you really believe that I won’t dare to break up with you? To be honest with you, I have already had enough of you! Let’s break up now!” The boy was angry and turned around without hesitation, then walked forward alone.
“You…” The girl was anxious when the boy really agreed to break up with her. She refused to accept it, and just stood there waiting for him to come back to her.
Gu Ning, Gao Yi, and Qiao Ya had almost reached the gate, but they couldn’t climb over it right now because someone was walking towards them from behind. They walked slowly, but the boy walked quickly because of his anger, so he soon passed them.
