In half an hour, Song Wenxuan finished the meal and excused himself from the other people.
Song Wenxuan’s secretary needed to drive the car, so he left along with Song Wenxuan.
Once Song Wenxuan came out, he saw Gu Ning and apologized. “I’m sorry for keeping you waiting.”
Song Wenxuan’s secretary was surprised to see Gu Ning, not because he knew her, but because he realized that the Leng family’s future granddaughter-in-law was very young.
“It’s fine. Let’s go now!” Gu Ning didn’t care about it. It wasn’t convenient for them to have a conversation here, so Gu Ning didn’t bother to say much.
Afterwards, they left together.
Although Song Wenxuan was gone, people in the private room didn’t change their topic. They didn’t talk much about Song Wenxuan either, because they weren’t in the same faction and it might cause trouble if they said something they shouldn’t have said.
It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
…
Gu Ning and the others walked out of the door of the hotel, then told a valet parker to help them bring their car over. Gu Ning told Song Wenxuan to get in her car, while his secretary drove his car.
To avoid accidents, Gu Ning had used her Jade Eyes to check Song Wenxuan’s car. She saw nothing wrong with it, so she let Song Wenxuan’s secretary drive it away.
After they were away from the hotel, Song Wenxuan asked, “Gu Ning, how did you know someone would shoot me?”
Gu Ning then gave him the same explanation she had given the Song family. Song Wenxuan was greatly surprised and couldn’t believe his ears, but it was the truth no matter how unbelievable it was. After all, it was impossible that Gu Ning caused it. There was no reason for her to do that.
Song Wenxuan wasn’t suspicious of Gu Ning, because she was family.
“I bet you must have a name in your mind after it happened, but we are not sure who did that yet. I’ve already arranged for someone to investigate it, but it might take some time,” said Gu Ning. K’s abilities were also limited, so Gu Ning couldn’t be sure of it before he found anything useful.
Gu Ning continued, “I think it won’t end just like that, so I’ll stay in City C for a while in case any accidents happen again. I can be helpful here too. And I also want to send someone to protect you if you don’t mind.”
Song Wenxuan had bodyguards to protect him, but they were hardly comparable to Gao Yi. Gao Yi alone was stronger than ten of his bodyguards. Therefore, Gu Ning planned to stay with Song Wenxuan these days.
“Of course not! But will it interrupt your schedule if you stay here with me?” Song Wenxuan felt touched that Gu Ning was so protective of him, but he was worried that it might affect Gu Ning’s plans.
In fact, he knew that Gu Ning was much stronger than he thought, so he didn’t think she was bragging.
“No, it won’t. I’m free these days. If I need to deal with something, I’ll leave then,” said Gu Ning.
“Great!” If so, Song Wenxuan accepted her kindness.
“Oh, Uncle Wenxuan, I need to tell you something, but you must keep it a secret,” said Gu Ning seriously.
“Sure, I’ll never tell anyone else,” said Song Wenxuan.
“I have a relationship with the leader of the Tianying Gang. I learned from him that someone tried to frame you. The Tianying Gang has been through something not long ago, and now it won’t be involved in illegal activities anymore. So, please avoid having conflicts with the Tianying Gang. If you think it needs more changes, just tell me and I’ll let them know. If you want them to do anything, as long as it’s legal, I can help you with that as well. Please don’t worry, they won’t hurt you,” said Gu Ning. She told Song Wenxuan that because she hoped that there wouldn’t be conflicts between them. After all, Song Wenxuan was an official in the government, while the Tianying Gang was an illegal gang. It was hard for them not to have conflicts.
Hearing that, Song Wenxuan was astonished. He didn’t expect that Gu Ning had a relationship with the Tianying Gang.
Gu Ning continued, “Actually, I also have a relationship with the Qing Gang, and the Kirin Gang, so you can turn to me for help if you need to deal with them in the future. Shaoting is aware of all that.”
At this moment, Song Wenxuan was stunned. Unexpectedly, Gu Ning also had a relationship with the Qing Gang, and the Kirin Gang, which were the two major gangs in the country.
Song Wenxuan wasn’t conservative, and he knew the existence of illegal gangs couldn’t be totally removed. Illegal gangs could control some crimes, so he wasn’t biased against them, but neither was he in favor of them. After all, they were illegal gangs.
In fact, not every official in the government was upright. Some officials were even worse than the illegal gangs.
All of a sudden, Song Wenxuan felt Gu Ning was much more complicated than he thought. She wasn’t like a 19 year-old girl, she was more like a wily old fox about forty years old.
“Uncle Wenxuan, you might have a bad impression of me for that, but you should know the use of illegal gangs better than me. It’s better to have a good relationship with them than to be their enemies,” said Gu Ning.
“I’m surprised by your relationship with those illegal gangs, but I’m not conservative. I understand why those illegal gangs have to exist. It’s very dangerous to deal with them, but it’s not a completely bad thing, so I don’t have a bad impression of you at all,” said Song Wenxuan sincerely.
Whether these illegal gangs had broken the law, it wasn’t a big deal as long as Gu Ning obeyed the law.
Actually, even if Song Wenxuan disapproved of her, Gu Ning didn’t care, but she felt happy to know that Song Wenxuan didn’t have a bad impression of her.
When they were back in the Song family’s home, the others immediately asked them whether they were fine. Seeing they were safe, the others were relieved.
After staying in the Song family’s place for a while, Gu Ning left. The Song family wanted her to stay for a night, but she declined.
So because Gu Ning insisted on leaving, they didn’t force her to stay.
When Gu Ning left, she went directly back to the hotel, which was the Shengshi Hotel situated in the city center.
Gu Ning always stayed either in the Shengshi Hotel, or the Huangdeng Hotel. They were both free after all, so she didn’t need to stay somewhere else.
Gu Ning booked a presidential suite with three bedrooms, since because of Gu Ning’s presence, Gao Yi and Qiao Ya felt embarrassed to sleep in the same room.
Back in the hotel, Gu Ning asked Gao Yi to be Song Wenxuan’s bodyguard for a few days.
