“Sure, I can do that, but not for the medicine. I’m willing to do it because of you,” said Qi Tianlin, showing some affection towards Gu Ning.
Gu Ning felt nothing, but Leng Shaoting was more displeased now. He disliked what Qi Tianlin said to Gu Ning. It couldn’t be more obvious that Qi Tianlin liked Ningning! However, it didn’t matter, because Ningning belonged to him.
Gu Ning clearly sensed Leng Shaoting’s emotional change, but she could do nothing about it.
“Do you need me to send him to you?” asked Qi Tianlin.
“No need. I just need you to assign a task to him. Tell him to make a drug deal with my people, and we’ll catch him then. The Kirin Gang won’t be exposed, but I can’t promise that he won’t be exposed,” said Gu Ning.
“I don’t care. I can say he isn’t one of us,” said Qi Tianlin airily. Since he agreed to do it for Gu Ning, he was mentally-prepared for the worst result.
“Great, we’ll take action tomorrow. I’ll tell you once the place of the deal is settled. It won’t take long. Just a few minutes,” said Gu Ning.
“Sure,” said Qi Tianlin. After that, they hung up.
“Where do you think is the best place?” Gu Ning asked Leng Shaoting.
Leng Shaoting thought for a while, then said, “We can do it in Jingshan District! It’s comparatively isolated with many factory areas. There are a lot of abandoned factories and warehouses as well. An abduction happened in an abandoned warehouse there before, so I know the place very well. On XX section, there is only one abandoned warehouse, so it’s easy to find it.”
Yuan Wenrui’s deal with Shen Yanfeng was the night after tomorrow, so they had to do it tomorrow night.
They would arrest Long Tianhu tomorrow night, and Shen Yanfeng the day after tomorrow, so there was no need to wait for Yuan Wenrui to deal with Shen Yanfeng, because Rong Jue would be involved by then.
“Sure.” Gu Ning said, “I can be the one who’s going to see Long Tianhu. I can disguise myself as Tang Aining.”
“Great, I’ll arrange some people to help you.” Leng Shaoting didn’t turn her down, because it wasn’t a big deal for Gu Ning. He would be nearby as well, and would show up to help her quickly.
It was dangerous to make such an illegal deal, so Gu Ning couldn’t go alone. She needed at least 5 people to follow her there.
“Right.” Gu Ning agreed.
After that, she called Qi Tianlin again and told him the address as well as the person they were going to make a deal with. It was a woman called Tang Aining who was about 20 years old.
They could only do it at night, so the time was set at 9 pm tomorrow. Long Tianhu would have enough time to come.
“How many drugs do you need?” asked Qi Tianlin for a better arrangement.
“Give us 5kg. I’ll return them to you once it’s done,” said Gu Ning.
Although Leng Shaoting had caught many drug-dealers before, he could only turn a blind eye on Qi Tianlin even if he was clearly aware that Qi Tianlin was dealing drugs.
Because the government needed illegal gangs to balance some forces, they weren’t punished severely. As long as they didn’t break the law or embarrass the government publicly, they would be safe.
“No problem,” said Qi Tianlin. He actually didn’t care whether the drugs would be returned, but there was no reason for him not to accept them since Gu Ning was willing to return the drugs to him.
“I’m in the capital now. If you want the drugs, send someone to get them back, or you can come in person. I won’t send them to you,” said Gu Ning.
“Sure, Yu Hao will go to get them back,” said Qi Tianlin. If he could see Gu Ning, he would surely go there in person, but he was occupied and couldn’t go there as he wanted.
“Okay, tell him to go directly to the city center. XX restaurant on XX Road, then give me a call. I’ll see him there,” Gu Ning said.
“No problem, but it’s rare that you’re willing to give me a 50% discount. Can I ask for more pills?” Qi Tianlin asked.
“Ten million yuan for 20. There is no more,” Gu Ning said.
“Great!” Qi Tianlin agreed with alacrity, because he didn’t plan to ask for too many. He actually thought Gu Ning would only give him 10 pills with a 50% discount, but he was happy to get 20 pills with 10 million yuan. Since Gu Ning proposed it on her own, he wouldn’t disagree.
Leng Shaoting didn’t know that Gu Ning set such a high price for the power crystals, so he was shocked when he learned that. Anyway, he could feel that Gu Ning deliberately let Qi Tianlin pay more for them.
Thinking of that, Leng Shaoting felt much better, but he still asked with uncertainty, “Did you sell a pill to him for a million yuan before in order to get more money from him?”
Hearing that, Gu Ning smiled with pride. “Yeah! Qi Tianlin is very rich after all. I can’t miss the chance to make more money from him! He left a bad first impression on me anyway.”
Knowing that, Leng Shaoting was more pleased.
Gu Ning absolutely knew what he was thinking. Precisely because she knew Leng Shaoting disliked Qi Tianlin, she said that to please him. Anyway, she told the truth.
“Did I tell you Wenxin, Jiakai, and I had gone to have fun at the Earth Nightclub in City B? We played the slot machine and won the whole prize pool! There was a hundred million yuan in it. You know the casino won’t let you leave with too much money, so I was called to a private room. Qi Tianlin wanted to gamble with me. I won three hundred million yuan in the end. He refused to let me go at that time. Therefore, we had a fight and I won again. He also got to know that I’m excellent at fighting and that I have magical pills. As a result, he gave in to me. In order to have the magical pills, he became polite to me afterwards. He’s willing to satisfy my requests as long as they’re acceptable. However, he’s a little annoying sometimes, so you don’t need to take his words seriously,” said Gu Ning. She did her best to connect their relationship with benefits in case Leng Shaoting was unhappy. After all, what Qi Tianlin just said to her had annoyed Leng Shaoting.
“I know,” said Leng Shaoting. After Gu Ning’s explanation, Leng Shaoting felt better. He had met Qi Tianlin and fought against him a few times, so he was aware of Qi Tianlin’s character. Qi Tianlin was arrogant, cruel, and ruthless. Without outstanding abilities, one couldn’t survive from a fight against him. Therefore, since Gu Ning had already met Qi Tianlin, it was better that they had a good relationship.
Qi Tianlin might not be able to hurt Gu Ning, but he could hurt people in Gu Ning’s circles and her companies, which wasn’t something they wanted to see.
Given Qi Tianlin’s character, he could definitely do that.

Back in the siheyuan, Jing Yunyao was still up and she was cultivating.
It was very late, but cultivators never cared about day or night.
