Gu Mang turned on her computer and logged into a game.

Lu Shangjin stared at Gu Mang, who was acting coldly towards him. He was at his wit’s end.
He sighed and said, “Fine, you can go and roam around for these couple of days to your heart’s content. Do you need a car? I can give you the key.”
The speed of the girl’s pretty, slender fingers on the mouse and the keyboard was mind-bogglingly dazzling. She ignored him.
Lu Shangjin felt very much distressed.
With one of the many flip phones grasped in his hand, Gu Si took a moment to look up. “We don’t need the car. Goodbye, Uncle Lu,” he said.

Lu Shangjin was speechless.
Each sibling he spoke to was unrulier than the last.

Lu Shangjin questioned his life as he closed the door.
He was a big shot of Ming City and yet he had been disrespected!

He never thought something like that would ever happen to him!
…
Gu Mang came out of the bathroom and wiped her hair, her head down to the side.
She heard Gu Si chatting with someone so she lifted her clear, cool eyes and looked over.
Gu Si was sitting in front of her computer. She was struck by how he had managed to hack her password. He was improving.

On the screen was an extremely pretty and flirtatious looking face wearing delicate makeup, very long eyelashes, and blue eyes that gave each frown and smile of hers a hint of seductiveness, like a goddess who could bring chaos upon mankind.

In the background was the dance floor of a club.
“Hi, Little Sister Gu.” Her smile was impish with an ever so slightly squinting eyes and her white skin that looked captivating. She was wearing a sexy leather tube top. There were quite a fair number of men wandering around who could not help but glimpse at her.
Gu Si’s eyes sparkled and he asked, “Sister Lin! Is it fun in the bar?”
“It’s fun! You can see how the scene behind me is as hot as fire.” Lin Shuang raised one eyebrow and her voice was full of seduction as she said, “My young friend, why not ask your sister to bring you over for some fun?”

Gu Si was filled with curiosity. “Sure, sure! Ah—”
Gu Si was lifted up by the collar of his shirt and thrown onto the bed with a slam. The action was swift and immediate. He fell sprawled on his back. When he managed to sit up on the bed, he saw his sister sitting where he had been seated.

Her straight and slender legs were crossed on the desk.
She leaned back thoughtlessly with the chair reclining back.
There was an ineffable wildness exuding from the girl sitting on the chair.
Gu Mang, who was wiping her hair, opened her clear, cool eyes and gave Lin Shuang a sidelong look that was reminiscent of a cold, dense fog.
Lin Shuang pouted her lips and acted coquettishly. “What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Do not lead my brother astray.” Gu Mang’s voice was cold; the atmosphere seemed to be sucked out of the room the moment she opened her mouth. “Why are you contacting me?”
Lin Shuang took a gulp of beer and laughed alluringly.
“The Lu dude was looking for you so I faked your position and managed to deceive him into coming to the bar. Won’t you come and hang?”

Gu Mang was startled for a moment. She pressed her towel against the table and raised an eyebrow. “Do you want hell to break loose?”
“How will this cause hell to break loose?” Lin shuang glared at her in displeasure and then asked with much curiosity, “Are you not interested in Young Master Lu at all?”
“You’d best not look down on him,” Gu Mang said.
Age was her best camouflage. No one had ever suspected that the nationally renowned, brilliant Miracle Doctor was only seventeen years old.

But she had to be cautious of Lu Chengzhou.
“How dare I look down on the outstanding Young Master Lu who’s famous in the capital?” Lin Shuang spread out her hands and asked without signs of capitulating, “Are you really not coming? There’s an auction in the bar tonight and the final item is a jade stone with calming and mind-focusing effects. It’s rumoured to be extraordinary. Haven’t you been researching a cure for mental illness for the last few years?”

Some emotion crept into Gu Mang’s eyes. “Where are you?”
“Tian Que.”
The most expensive entertainment place in Ming City.
Only wealthy and respectable people could afford to be there.
