Chapter 976: Would I Fail?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Lu Chengzhou returned, it was already late in the middle of the night.

Almost everyone except those on the night shift were asleep. They bowed to the man respectfully.

When Lu Qi saw the silver suitcase in Lu Chengzhou’s hand, he looked down. “Young Master Lu.”

The villa was different from outside. The temperature was slightly higher inside.

Lu Chengzhou reached up to unbutton his collar, “Did Gu Mang eat well at night?”

“Pretty well.” Lu Qi answered, “There aren’t any bad reactions from Ms. Gu.”

Lu Chengzhou nodded and went upstairs.

“Young Master Lu,” Lu Qi called him suddenly and stepped forward. When he turned around, he said respectfully. “Ms. Gu’s godfather came to visit her last night.”

Lu Chengzhou looked at him and asked in confusion. “Godfather?”

“Yes.” Lu Qi answered, “But it’s pretty strange. Even Young Master Gu had no idea that Ms. Gu had a godfather.”

Lu Chengzhou was silent for a few seconds. Then, he looked upstairs. “Is he still here?”

Lu Qi answered, “He came around 10pm and had a chat with Ms. Gu for about half an hour before he left.”

“Did nothing else happen?” Lu Chengzhou asked.

“Nope. Ms. Gu seems to be very respectful towards her godfather.” Lu Qi seldom saw Gu Mang put away her intimidating aura.

When Lu Chengzhou heard this from Lu Qi, he was very curious to find out who that person was.

Since that person had already left, he did not care much.

There would be a chance for them to meet again sometime in the future.

He said, “Got it.”

Then, he picked up the suitcase and went upstairs.

When Lu Chengzhou reached the door to Gu Mang’s room, he pushed the door open softly.

The light from the corridor shone in and the figure with a bulge that wasn’t very obvious could clearly be seen on the bed.

Lu Chengzhou entered and shut the door. The room regained its darkness.

He took off his cold black coat and hung it on the wall at the door. Then, he approached the bed in a familiar way, passed by the coffee table, and put the suitcase on it.

Gu Mang did not make any response at all.

When he sat down by the bed, her back still faced him.

“Have you gotten the stuff?” Gu Mang sounded tired and her voice was low and raspy.

Lu Chengzhou responded, “Yeah, a black box. It’s not big, wanna look at it?”

“Didn’t you open it up?” Gu Mang turned around.

She asked that very casually as if she would never be defensive around him.

Lu Chengzhou’s heard palpitated wildly all of a sudden.

In his mind, he recalled that right from the beginning, Gu Mang would always wake up if there were any movements, even if he was around.

In the dark, the man looked at her with his deep eyes.

He laughed softly. It was worth it.

Gu Mang opened her eyes slightly, “What are you laughing at?”

Lu Chengzhou pushed away the messy hair that was covering her face and asked, “Are you letting me see what your parents left for you?”

“Then we’ll look at it together tomorrow.” Gu Mang shut her eyes again. “I’m tired.”

Lu Chengzhou caressed her face. “Go to sleep, I’m going to shower.”

…

The next day.

Gu Mang’s biological clock made her wake up as usual. She washed up simply and grabbed a tower, then she walked towards the sofa and looked at the silver suitcase.

After a few seconds, she put away the towel casually and opened up the lock on the suitcase.

Inside, there was a black metal box with a passcode lock.

Just then, the door to the room was pushed open.

Lu Chengzhou entered in leisure wear as if he had just returned from a run.

Gu Mang turned to look at him and then she looked back at the box.

Lu Chengzhou shut the door and walked to the water dispenser to pour himself a cup of water. “L201-2000G, the code on the paper.”

Gu Mang looked at the passcode lock with only 4-digits and she wondered what the four numbers were.

Lu Chengzhou walked over and handed her the cup of warm water. “If you can’t do it, I can open it for you. It’s pretty easy to unlock it.”

Just as he said that…

Click-

The passcode lock was unlocked.

She did not open it up with the code. There was also a thin needle in her hand.

Gu Mang looked at him in silence. There was a meaningful look in her gaze as if she was asking “Would I fail?”
