Chapter 997: Do You Think They’d Choose You If I Died?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Yī and the others stood at the side and they glanced at Gu Mang cautiously. Their necks were slightly shrunk back.
Everything else aside, her identity as God Ji alone was enough to make them afraid of her.
The subordinates exchanged glances.
They really couldn’t get how Gu Yin had the guts to say such a thing.
Gu Yin clenched her teeth and said indignantly, “That’s because you-”
“Because I’ve trained at Base 102 before?” Gu Mang cut her off expressionlessly and asked rhetorically, “Do you think they’d choose you if I died?”
When she said that, everyone could clearly sense that the surrounding air had gone several degrees colder.
They all glanced at Lu Chengzhou.
“Shouldn’t it be that way? My last name is Gu as well.” Gu Yin lifted up her chin. “Don’t think that you are the only one who is capable of that. Don’t you remember how the medical organization picked me after you rejected them? Gu Mang, don’t think too highly of yourself. It’s not like you are the only option.”
Gu Mang tapped her fingers on the table and did not answer.
Seeing that she had gained the upper hand, Gu Yin smirked and stood up. Then, she looked at Gu Mang and said, “Of course, you can go and admit your mistakes to Grandpa and Head Elder now, and get engaged to Huo Zhi. We shall see who will take that spot firmly in the end.”
With that, she glanced at Lu Chengzhou who was standing at the side.
The man was rather expressionless, as if he was not even bothered by what she had said.
Gu Yin did not wish to waste any more time here. She kicked the chair away and went to leave.
“Did I allow you to leave?”
Once Gu Mang spoke, Lu Yī strode forward immediately and pinned Gu Yin back on the seat.
Gu Yin struggled to get up subconsciously but she was held down tightly by the shoulders. She looked really unhappy and she looked up. “What do you want?! You’ve already got Gu Si back!”
“Who will take on that spot firmly in the end?” Gu Mang laughed nonchalantly. “I don’t know either.”
Gu Yin was unsure what she meant. She remained silent.
“But,” Gu Mang paused. Then, she continued in a slow and soft tone, “I can ensure that you’ll die before I do.”
Gu Yin’s expression changed and her pupils shrank as she glared at Gu Mang. “Don’t you dare! Grandpa and Head Elder will not let you off!”
If Gu Mang dared to act against her, she would be sending the Elders’ Association an opportunity to take her Director’s position away.
Although she had only come to Jijing Island for less than two months, she had flipped the political situation upside down.
“I don’t care if you are dead or alive. I can’t be bothered if you want to be the Second Miss of the Gu family either.” Gu Mang narrowed her eyes halfway. “Bold of you to lay your hands on Gu Si.”
At the end of her speech, it was as if the entire interrogation room was engulfed in her stifling aura.
It was so oppressive that they could barely catch their breath.
Gu Yin could sense the murderous intent from Gu Mang and she clenched her fists. She panicked a little uncontrollably as she was unsure if Gu Mang would really drag her down if she went crazy.
She bit her lip. “He’s my younger brother too!”
Just then, Gu Mang’s phone suddenly rang.
The tense atmosphere in the interrogation room was broken by the ringing of the phone.
Gu Mang took her phone out from her pocket and looked down at the notification. Then, she laughed.
Bam—! She threw the phone to Gu Yin’s side and lifted her chin. “Your backup called.”
Gu Yin saw the series of familiar numbers on the phone screen and in an instant, she calmed down.
In actual fact, she felt insecure when Gu Mang said that she was not a member of the Gu family.
But now, she was sure that she was the Gu family’s Second Miss.
The big family clans in Jijing Island took blood relations very seriously. How could Old Master Gu not look into her? If she was not a member of the Gu family, why would he allow her to live in the Gu manor?
Gu Mang had indeed lied to her. Old Master Gu was here to save her.
Gu Yin sneered and looked at Gu Mang. Then, she picked up the call and put it on loudspeaker.. “Grandpa.”
