Chapter 498: Identity Exposed, Fools! She’s your boss!

Xu Yi walked out of the company carrying a compact bag. He took out his mobile phone and sent Gu Mang a voice message. He did not bother her with the details. He only told her that he had to take a trip somewhere.

After Xu Yi left, the afternoon interviews were cancelled. The staff led Yao Ling to look at the surveillance cameras. Time was short and they did a very quick check but they did not discover anything. The staff then began to ask everyone to open up their bags and she looked through each and every bag. Still, they did not find anything.

Yao Ling’s facial expression turned really bad. “I was the first to be interviewed. No one had left so it must be one of them!”

“There should be another person who came to be interviewed.” A female voice rang out.

Everyone looked over, surprised by the interjection.

Xin Yue hesitated for a while before speaking up. “Gu Mang still hasn’t been searched. She is probably in Teacher Bai Ye’s office right now.”

Since Gu Mang appeared in the morning, quite a number of people had surrounded her to ask for her autograph. Also, the news about Gu Mang wanting to be interviewed here had circulated as well so the staff all knew she was here.

Yao Ling reacted immediately and turned to the staff. “Should we search Gu Mang as well?”

The office.

Gu Mang was sitting on the sofa and playing a round of games. She put down her phone casually and poured a glass of water.

Knock knock.

Someone knocked twice on the door frame.

“Come in.” Gu Mang was holding her glass of water and she was seated on the sofa in a casual manner. She turned to the entrance slowly.

The door to the office opened and there were over ten people standing at the door. Other than the staff, there were also nine interns who had interviewed in the morning. They looked fierce, as if they were here for a fight.

Gu Mang squinted a little. “What’s the problem?”

Her eyes were deep and black. They looked cold and when people looked at her, they felt their spine tense up.

For a moment, no one dared to speak.

A higher-ranking staff among the staff mustered the courage to say, “Ms. Gu, something happened during the interview. We may need your cooperation. We need to check this office.”

When Yu Mufeng heard this, his interest was aroused. “Did I hear correctly? Check this office?”

The staff could tell that Yu Mufeng’s tone was a little strange, but they did not think much of it. He nodded. “Any external visitor who stepped into our office today has to be checked.”

Yu Mufeng raised his brows. “Sure.”

They were indeed external visitors today.

The staff turned to Gu Mang. “Ms. Gu, please cooperate with us.”

Gu Mang was fine with it. She seldom came to the office anyway. She lifted her chin and signaled that they could do as they please. She had a strong aura and she looked relaxed as the staff conducted the check.

The higher-ranked staffer looked at Gu Mang. “Ms. Gu, did you bring a bag with you when you came here?”

A corner of Gu Mang’s lips curled up. “Do you want to check my bag?”

She dragged the last note of her sentence out, which made others feel some danger.

The staffer’s scalp went numb and he stuttered, “E-Everyone’s bag needs to be checked.”

Gu Mang did not want to make things difficult for her own staff. She answered calmly, “Nope.”

Yao Ling did not believe Gu Mang’s words. She scanned the room and indeed, did not see any bags.

Seeing that Gu Mang was rather cooperative, the staff heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Then pardon me, Ms. Gu, please move aside so we can check this side of the sofa.”

Gu Mang’s delicate eyebrows were slightly raised. She glanced at Yu Mufeng and the two stood up. Then, she walked to the desk and leaned against it.

The staffer first picked up Gu Mang’s coat and touched the pocket of the coat. There were only chocolate and candies inside. Gu Mang’s eyes narrowed quickly and a cold glow appeared in them.

When the staffer who did the search put down Gu Mang’s coat, there was a sudden pause. The gap in the sofa that had originally been blocked by the coat seemed to be stuffed with something.

He bent over and took it out.

It was a small bottle of transparent medicine. There was only a little bit of liquid left at the bottom of the bottle.

“Brother Jin, look.” The one searching turned around and looked at the high-ranking man while holding up the medicine.

Before the man spoke, Yao Ling rushed in with her companion.

“Is this the medicine?” Yao Ling pointed at the bottle of medicine and shook in anger.

The full l name and abbreviated name of the medicine was on the vial. The staffer looked at it and nodded.

Xin Yue said in disbelief, “Could it be that Gu Mang drugged Yao Ling?”

What she said made the tense nerves in Yao Ling’s brain explode.

“You are too vicious! Do you know how important my throat is to me!” Yao Ling’s eyes were blood red and her clenched fists shook angrily. She walked in front of Gu Mang and slapped her without a second thought.

Before she hit Gu Mang, the man next to her grabbed her wrist.

Yao Ling pulled her hand away vigorously, but she could not pull away from Yu Mufeng. She looked over at him with a glare.

Yu Mufeng smirked and forced her away using his grip on her wrist. Then, he tilted her head, and smiled. “Young lady, do you know who it is that you are trying to hit?”

How dare they try to mess with his Grandmaster’s territory.

Yao Ling stared at the man next to Gu Mang without speaking.

After a long while, she took a deep breath and turned to the staff. “The evidence has been found, what are you going to do with her?”

Gu Mang watched the girl and folded her arms. She leaned languidly on the desk and the corners of her mouth twitched.

Xin Yue pursed her lips, and said cautiously, “Is it really Goddess Gu? Could there be a misunderstanding…”

“Misunderstanding?!” Yao Ling stared at Gu Mang and gritted her teeth. “How do you explain the evidence?!”

Xin Yue hesitated and looked at Gu Mang. “Goddess Gu, were you really the one who drugged Yao Ling?”

Gu Mang glanced at them, then smiled lightly and slowly, “Do I have to explain?”

When everyone heard her pause, they waited for her to say something. Gu Mang turned her face sideways and took a cigarette from the table. She lit it up with a lighter.

After a long while, they heard her nonchalant voice. She said it flippantly, but it also sounded chilling. “Someone planted it on me.”

Yu Mufeng smiled too. He looked at them as if he were ready to watch a good show.

Yao Ling looked at their lofty postures with eyes full of anger. “Planted?! Gu Mang, don’t assume that I will be afraid of you just because you have status in the company. This is intentional harm. If I call the police, you will be ruined!”

Several people at the scene who knew Yao Ling looked at her hideous expression and then they all looked at each other. Yao Ling had quite a low profile and she was very gentle to everyone. They have never seen her lose her temper.

But everyone had their limits.

How could a pianist not be angry if their hands were intentionally hurt by someone?

No matter how composed one was, any professional dubbing artist would be furious if their voice box was ruined.

Everyone looked towards Gu Mang.

Her expression was still calm. She was neither panicked nor guilty. She looked as if the people in front of her were clowns. This caused some people to harbor bad thoughts towards Gu Mang.

No wonder Yao Ling was so angry. Could a national scholar and choreographer be so arrogant and not take others seriously? Did she really think that she was the best in the world?

Gu Mang lowered her head slightly and her wrists hung downwards naturally. The cigarette between her fingers was burning slowly.

She looked at Yu Mufeng from the corner of her eyes and her voice was lowered. With a bit of coldness, she said, “Bring her bag here.”

Everyone frowned upon hearing the words, not knowing who Gu Mang was talking about.

“Okay,” Yu Mufeng responded and walked towards them.

Although Yu Mufeng was usually meek and subservient in front of Gu Mang, he was still a member of the Yu family. His aura was very overpowering.

When everyone saw Yu Mufeng walk over, they became like sheep looking at a wolf about to break into their circle. They were scared and nervous.

Yu Mufeng walked straight to Xin Yue and stopped. Everyone looked at the scene curiously.

What’s going on? Why are they looking for Xin Yue about Yao Ling’s matter?

Yu Mufeng dragged her using the bag around Xin Yue’s body. Not very lightly but not forcefully either. Xin Yue even staggered.

“What are you doing!” Xin Yue subconsciously pulled the chain on her small square bag and tried to balance herself as she stared at Yu Mufeng angrily.

The man looked up and stared at her for a few seconds. Then, he tutted. “Looks pretty mean.”

Xin Yue was praised for her beauty. This was the first time that she had been attacked for it and her face flushed with anger. Yu Mufeng sneered and took the bag from her shoulder forcefully.

“Return the bag to me!” Xin Yue raised her hand to grab it.

Yu Mufeng took a step back and dodged her hand. With the bag in hand, he pointed at her with his eyes narrowed. He didn’t say a word, but he was extremely intimidating.

Xin Yue froze in place and when she noticed that she had become even more frightened, she got angrier.

Yu Mufeng ignored her and walked to Gu Mang. He frowned in disgust. “Why do you want this silly bag?”

Gu Mang raised her eyebrows slightly and said indifferently, “Give me the notepad.”

Yu Mufeng pulled out a small notepad from the bag and handed it to Gu Mang. She took it and turned to the page with her signature on it. Then, she tore it off, and returned the notepad to Yu Mufeng.

Xin Yue stared at Gu Mang and pursed her lips. “For someone like you who competes with nasty means, I really couldn’t care less to get your autograph.”

Gu Mang didn’t speak. She lit the lighter with a click and put the paper to the flame. The paper burned quickly and Gu Mang threw it into the trash can. The piece of paper burned to ashes, as if foreshadowing someone’s upcoming demise.

Everyone looked at Gu Mang’s obnoxious posture, their eyebrows tense.

Gu Mang looked up and turned to Xin Yue. She smiled, and said, “Call the police.”

When she said that, everyone’s expressions changed.

The staff was surprised. They cooperated with Yao Ling because they didn’t want to alarm the police. Yet, Gu Mang wanted to call the police? “Ms. Gu, what are you doing?! This matter is completely private. This matter happened in our company, how could you just let the police come over without our consent? It’s a bit disrespectful of you.”

The others looked at Gu Mang as if she were a lunatic. They had never seen someone make things so difficult for themselves.

If they reported to the police that Gu Mang had done this, not only would she be scolded to death by netizens, Capital University might even withdraw their decision to enroll her early.

Yu Mufeng looked at the staff and couldn’t help but laugh. “Your company?”

The staff did not understand what Yu Mufeng’s words meant and was about to ask, but Yu Mufeng spoke again.

He pointed his thumb towards Gu Mang beside him. “This is Bai Ye, the owner of X Voice Factory.”

What a bunch of fools!

Yu Mufeng’s words seemed to blow everyone’s mind. They were all greatly alarmed and they stared at Gu Mang in shock. The staff were dumbfounded.

“Gu Mang is Bai Ye? How could this be?” someone murmured.
