“Thanks,” said Miao Jingjing. She was very grateful to Jing Yunyao, even if she would still be deprived of her magical abilities. She accepted it.
After accommodating Miao Jingjing, Leng Shaoting said to Jing Yunyao, “Mom, you can take care of her here. I have an appointment with my friends, so I need to go with Ningning. If it’s too late, we won’t come back here.”
“Sure, you can go now,” said Jing Yunyao. She wouldn’t interfere in Leng Shaoting’s private life.
After that, Leng Shaoting walked away, holding Gu Ning’s hand.
Back in the car, Gu Ning said, “Whom do you have an appointment with?”
Leng Shaoting compressed his lips and replied. “No one.”
“What?” Gu Ning was surprised and didn’t know what Leng Shaoting meant. Didn’t he say he had an appointment with his friend? Why did he deny it now?
Seeing that, Leng Shaoting looked at Gu Ning unhappily. How could she be clueless about his idea? Therefore, Leng Shaoting explained. “I just want to spend some time alone with you.”
“Pfttt.”
Hearing that, Gu Ning snorted with laughter. She didn’t know what he was thinking until now!
Seeing the broad smile on Gu Ning, Leng Shaoting felt aroused and drove the car faster.
Once Leng Shaoting drove faster, Gu Ning knew what he wanted. She flushed, but pretended that she knew nothing and lowered her head to play on her phone.
All of a sudden, Gu Ning remembered what had happened tonight, so she said to Leng Shaoting, “Oh, Baili Zongxue is already aware that I’m a cultivator. I was with her, so I was forced to tell her when I fought against the evil cultivator. I trust her, so I believe she won’t tell other people.”
“Yeah, it’s fine even if she tells other people.” In case Gu Ning felt guilty, Leng Shaoting said airily. Their secret would be exposed sooner or later, and Shangguan Yang would support them, so nobody could hurt them.
After a while, Leng Shaoting’s phone rang and the caller was Song Haoyu.
Leng Shaoting frowned and displeasure flashed in his eyes, because Song Haoyu’s call ruined his private time with Gu Ning.
However, Song Haoyu normally only called him for serious matters, so he had to answer it.
“What happened?” Leng Shaoting asked once he answered the call. There was unhappiness in his voice.
Normally, Song Haoyu would be alert, but now he had no mood and asked directly, “Shaoting, you’re in the capital, right? There is a tricky problem. Can you help me? Can we meet?”
“Where?” Leng Shaoting asked. Since it was a tricky problem, he couldn’t say no.
“My home. The house in Minghao Villa,” said Song Haoyu.
“Sure, see you in twenty minutes,” said Leng Shaoting and hung up.
Seeing that Leng Shaoting had no intention of telling her to go back before him, Gu Ning asked, “Um, do you need to bring me with you? Will it be inconvenient?”
“Not at all,” said Leng Shaoting. Even if it was inconvenient, they would have a talk in the study. Gu Ning could wait in the living room, so it wouldn’t cause any trouble.
“Great!” Since he said that, Gu Ning agreed.
Eighteen minutes later, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting reached Minghao Villa. It was a high-end villa area near the city center.
Hearing the sound of the car outside, Song Haoyu understood that Leng Shaoting was here, so he ran out to open the door at once.
Seeing Gu Ning with Leng Shaoting, Song Haoyu didn’t find it inappropriate and greeted her. “Hi, Miss Gu.”
“Nice to see you, Mr. Song.” Gu Ning replied.
Leng Shaoting came to hold Gu Ning’s hand, then they followed Song Haoyu into the house.
There were two other people in the living room. They were both Song Haoyu’s teammates. Once Leng Shaoting showed up, they respectfully called him, “Major General Leng.”
“Hi,” said Leng Shaoting.
They didn’t know Gu Ning, so they didn’t greet her, but they still acknowledged her presence by a nod in order to show their respect. Gu Ning also nodded at them with a smile as the reply.
In the living room, Song Haoyu didn’t avoid Gu Ning and said right away, “Shaoting, the thing is that our team just went to carry out a task. However, we ran into a very strange thing. We were going to catch a first-degree fugitive, but there was an unbelievably strong person at his side. The person isn’t only strong, but also has strange skills, especially his speed. He can move from meters away in the blink of an eye. He can also easily avoid our bullets. As long as it’s dark, we can’t find him at all. He seems to merge with the darkness at night. I think there might be people with magical skills in this world. I know people are atheists nowadays, but it’s really strange. I can only talk about it with you.”
Other people might refuse to believe it, but Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting didn’t doubt it, because their abilities were beyond ordinary people’s imagination.
Nevertheless, they couldn’t figure out who the strong person was without further investigation. It could be a cultivator or a ninja.
Seeing Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning’s calm faces, Song Haoyu was slightly annoyed. “Do you think I’m kidding?”
He knew it was hard for ordinary citizens to believe in people with magical skills. After all, they hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes before.
“No, we trust you,” said Leng Shaoting.
“Um…” Song Haoyu was slightly surprised. “Why aren’t you shocked at all?”
That wasn’t a normal reaction!
“Because we’ve met the same thing,” said Leng Shaoting.
Hearing that, Song Haoyu and the others were surprised. They had met the same thing?
“Does it mean people with magical skills really exist?” asked Song Haoyu. He guessed the person could be a person with magical skills, but he only felt it was possible and wasn’t sure of it. After all, he was unwilling to accept it, so he was greatly surprised when he heard Leng Shaoting’s answer.
“I didn’t believe it before I saw it myself, but I’m convinced after I did,” said Leng Shaoting.
Unexpectedly, there were really people with magical skills in this world. Song Haoyu was as excited as he was scared. After all, the person he met was unbelievably strong.
“Did you catch the person, or did the person run away?” Song Haoyu asked. Although he asked that question, he actually felt the person must have escaped because the person wasn’t an ordinary guy!
