Chapter 851: I Only Listen To My Sister! Clings to Us Like Sh*t To A Shovel!
For over ten seconds, it was dead silent in the living room.
Gu Mang dropped her hand and got up.
When she moved, the dozens of guards on the scene seemed to be frightened. They all stayed fully alert and they fixed their stares on her.
Gu Mang swept her gaze around the hall and smirked. She had one hand in her pocket and she spun the gun around in her other hand as she walked towards the exit.
Gu Si stood up too. He grabbed his mini backpack and held Gu Mang’s hand as he followed behind her.
When Gu Mang approached the group of guards, the bloodthirsty breath lingering around her almost made everyone shudder. “Move.”
The guards stayed put.
“Let her go.” The cold expression in Old Master Gu’s eyes vanished. “Gu Si, you stay.”
The guards made way for her. Gu Mang walked past everyone who had been pointing guns at her as if they did not mean anything at all to her.
Gu Si did not even stop. He waved with his back facing Old Master Gu. In a very sorry tone, he said, “I’m sorry, I only listen to my sister.”
The siblings left haughtily.
Old Master Gu did not speak. He just stared in the direction that Gu Mang and Gu Si had left in. No one could read his expression.
Huo Zhi looked at him then at the door. He stood up and nodded slightly. “This is the way Gu Mang’s temper is. Since we forced her to come here in such a way, we’ll definitely have to let her release her anger. Don’t worry, I’ll talk to her.”
Old Master Gu’s gaze landed on Huo Zhi. He smiled in a satisfied manner.
“Let her calm down for the next few days. Take her to the funeral for Matriarch Lu that’s happening in four days.”
“Got it.” Huo Zhi bowed slightly and rushed out with big steps.
When he reached the door, two jeeps appeared in front of the manor.
Gu Mang and Gu Si got into the car in front.
Jiangsui shut the car door. When he turned around, he saw Huo Zhi walk over.
“How did you guys manage to enter?”
Jiangsui raised his eyebrow and took out an admission pass from his pocket. Holding it between his fingers, he said, “Sister Mang let us in.”
The Gu family had given it to Gu Mang when she came to Jijing Island back then.
Jiangsui smiled and got into the passenger seat. He lowered the windows and gave Huo Zhi a two-fingered salute. “See you, Mr. Huo.”
The jeep turned and left the manor in the dust.
“Sir, what do we do?” the bald man asked.
Huo Zhi looked away and walked towards his own car. “Follow them.”
“Understood.”
...
The Leng residence.
“What did you say?” Elder Leng looked at his subordinate in disbelief. “Gu Mang fired a shot at Old Master Gu?”
The subordinate answered, “Yes, all the guards who rushed in saw it.”
Old Master Leng looked at Leng Xuan. “Gu Mang seems to have a deep rooted hatred for the Gu family.”
Back then, when the major families were united against the Gu family because their juniors went missing at their hands, no one had dared to point their guns at Old Master Gu.
Yet Gu Mang...
Leng Xuan squinted slightly. “We shall see.”
At the moment, the only ones in the main branch of the Gu family that could be counted on were Gu Mang and Gu Si. No one in the extended family was up to standard.
They could not hurt Gu Mang and Gu Si so easily unless the family made one stay and gave up on the other.
Speaking of Gu Si, the memory of the rooftop incident burned in Leng Xuan’s mind and she couldn’t help but clench her fists.
After a while, she took a deep breath and suppressed the fury in her chest. If they could only make one stay, Gu Si was clearly easier to control.
But the Elders’ Association did not know anything about Gu Si’s capabilities so for the moment, they did not dare do anything.
...
Huo Zhi followed Gu Mang’s car.
They went all the way to the north of a villa area. The car stopped in front of a single-family villa.
The moment Gu Si opened the door and got out of the car, he saw Huo Zhi’s Maybach behind him. He rolled his eyes and muttered, “He clings to us like sh*t to a shovel! It’s so f*cking annoying!”
Jiangsui nodded sincerely. “He is pretty annoying.”
Gu Mang ignored him. She walked to the main gate. A scanner extended out of the wall at the entrance. She passed the iris recognition and the door opened in response.
The bald man stared blankly at the group of people entering the villa and said in shock, “Sir, since when did Ms. Gu have a villa on Jijing Island?”
There were surveillance cameras all around. There was no way Gu Mang could have prepared all of this security on short notice.
Huo Zhi laughed. “It’d be more strange if she’d made no preparations.”
What he could not understand was why Gu Mang’s parents chose death over letting Gu Mang and Gu Si return to Jijing Island.
Why did Gu Mang change her mind and agree to return?
The bald man did not know what Huo Zhi was thinking. He sighed. “Anyway, Ms. Gu is finally back.”
When Huo Zhi heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
He sighed and seemed to be more relaxed than before. He tilted his head slightly. “How are things going on Lu Chengzhou’s side?”
The bald man recalled the news that the people under him had told him, and he said doubtfully, “Lu Chengzhou... He seems to... have forgotten who Ms. Gu is...”
When the bald man said this, Huo Zhi felt a shiver run down his spine.
Huo Zhi frowned. “What do you mean?”
“It was spread from the Lu family,” the bald man said. “Whenever Ms. Gu is mentioned, Lu Chengzhou does not react at all. It’s as if he doesn’t know who she is.”
Huo Zhi looked down and pondered.
Last night, Gu Mang left very smoothly and Lu Chengzhou did not even appear to stop her. This did not seem like the way he would do things.
Huo Zhi suddenly recalled that when Gu Mang used to train on Jijing Island, he had seen her reading books on neurology and psychology, with special focus on hypnosis.
When he thought of this, he looked at the villa in disbelief. “...Did she hypnotize Lu Chengzhou?”
“What?!” The bald man was shocked. “Would someone like Lu Chengzhou even be... susceptible to hypnosis?”
To be able to lead Red Flame required strong willpower honed through high intensity training.
Lu Chengzhou was known to be very diligent. His emotions were almost never affected by anything.
One could easily imagine how difficult it would be to hypnotize him.
People who were emotionally unstable were more susceptible to hypnosis, which did not describe Lu Chengzhou at all.
How did Ms. Gu manage to do it?
And she even made him lose all memory of her, which was very difficult.
Huo Zhi shook his head. He couldn’t understand it.
But he would test Gu Mang’s hypnosis during Matriarch Lu’s funeral.
